Honestly speaking, Sophia felt pretty good about her new trip. After catching Muslin and Qiviut on her last stroll, she felt like the chances of finding another mark or two on this trip were pretty high. She was dressed lightly for the trip, though. After all, Mount Magmadyne was pretty warm. Wouldn't do to get too sweaty or hot too quickly, especially if she was going to stick around for a while. It was admirable of the Lava Dorm kids to be able to put up with the area as their home base, she supposed.

She had to wonder what her roommate was up to, though. Was she out trying to find things, too? That'd be interesting. It might be fun to compare their captures soon. The silver-haired maiden skipped up the path, eyes sharp, ears peeled, and hair styled. Just the way things should be.

It didn't take long at all for Sophia to find herself staring at a dog-like Pokemon. The Pokedex mentioned that it was a Growlithe. Well, she planned on catching whatever she found, either way, but, in this case, she was a bit amused. Would her roommate feel jealous again? She'd try not to tease the girl too much, if she was. She was getting a bit ahead of herself, though. Before she could worry about showing the dog off, she had to capture it, after all.

”Cotton, go! Use Discharge!” The Grand-daddy Sheep popped out of his ball with a deadpan “Meh” before staring at the Growlithe as though he were staring at any other thing- that is, with a lack of enthusiasm or willpower. What would be would be, he had decided. Gradually, energy sparkled around him and surged forward in an arc, washing the area before them in electric currents! The Growlithe took the blow, seeming winded, but didn't go down. In return, the dog performed a rather nasty, reckless tackle that slammed into the Mareep, seemingly hurting itself in the process.

”Again, Cotton! Try to finish it!” With a subdued “Meh”, the Mareep projected an arc of electricity before him, shocking the Growlithe to the point of unconsciousness. Despite victory, despite the praise he was getting, he did not care. Everything was tumbling down, before, now, and forever. Tumbling down, tumbling down, tumbling down.

”Good job, good job. That was definitely less painful than fighting Muslin. I have to wonder if she was a special case.” Musing aloud, she pet the Mareep before capturing the unconscious Growlithe. Another score! It might have been risky, but proceeding forward was definitely a good idea, she had decided. After all, they already found one thing!
