The trip to this place was…harrowing, to say the least. She wasn’t sure how Quartz had managed to carry her all the way up the Waterfall, or how she’d avoided falling off, but here she was – relatively safe and whole in the land of dragons. The young Mana student gave herself a few minutes to recover, but then forced her feet to move forward.

It was time to get to work.

She wandered through Dragon’s Den, looking around for any sign of the rare Pokemon she wanted. Her hands were kept close to her bag, hwere her primary team rested inside their pokeballs. Any one of them would be a decent match against the inhabitants here, or so she hoped.

There was a flash of white, and that was all the warning she had before a Shelgon charged toward her. She tried to ran out of the way and tossed the first pokeball her hand could reach, freeing…Moonstone? Well, that wasn’t the best match-up she could have thought of, but switching out now would put her at a disadvantage.

“Moonstone, Overheat!”

The Braixen removed the stick from her tail and pointed it at the Shelgon as it charged again, emitting an intense heat that would hopefully weaken their opponent. She knew Fire was one of the dragon type’s resistances, but the move was powerful enough that she hoped it would make up for the bad type match-up.

And…it seemed to. The Shelgon came out of the attack visibly weakened. Not enough for her to feel confident catching it, but one more good attack should do that job well enough.

The Shelgon charged at the Braixen, Headbutting her and causing about as much damage as she had to it. Toni winced. This would have to be a quick battle if she wanted Moonstone to come out of it okay.

“Try Psychic now,” she ordered before the Shelgon could attack again. Moonstone’s stick was still pointed at the Shelgon, so she used it to direct a burst of psychic power in the wild Pokemon’s direction. It wasn’t as effective as Toni would have liked, but the Shelgon looked pretty weak now, anyway. Maybe it was enough?

The Shelgon leered at them, and Toni let out a relieved sigh. Moonstone wouldn’t have to be hurt more than she already was, as long as Toni was reasonably lucky with her catch. She tossed a pokeball at the Shelgon, watching as it drew the dragon-type inside. The ball rocked almost violently for a few moments, and she was sure it was about to break, but eventually it stilled, and a click signaled the capture.

“Well done.” She scratched between Moonstone’s ears and went to retrieve the ball. “Time to go home for now, I guess.” She returned Moonstone to her pokeball and headed back to the waterfall. Time to heal up so she could try for her next goal.
