[Seth Silvester]

Ice. Ice everywhere. Luckily for Seth he had come to the caverns prepared with good shoes and even better layers of clothing. A probably ridiculous looking hat snuggled over his hair and ears, leaving only parts of his head exposed. Being used to the cooler temperature of most of the Water Dorm and having trained all of his Ice type pokemon in these caves, Seth was confident his trip out today would be successful.

"Ready Amyr?" he asked his pokemon. "Use Strength." The Nidorino nodded and pressed its weight against one of the large boulders that blocked their passage. "Let's find something good today."

(Looking for Squirtle. Using 1/2 pokemon search threads for this week.)

And find something good they did. Crawling from behind one of the cavern's icy boulders a wild pokemon appeared before the pair. Seth inhaled sharply, the cold stinging his throat. He had been searching for a Squirtle for his team for some time now, but this was even better. There was something Seth found beautiful about the creature's tail and furred ears. And it was just the right level that he could train Matsya in the process. 

Withdrawing Amyr, Seth sent out Matsya, commanding the Eelektrik to use Crunch on the wild pokemon. Matsya lunged forward, its circular mouth expanding to bite down on the wild Wartortle. Just before Matsya made contact, however, the Wartortle turned, using its shell as a protective shield against its attacker's teeth. The Wartortle Withdrew into its shell. "Release!" Seth commanded, digging his freezing fingers into his jacket pockets. 

Matsya slithered back, whining unhappily at its failed attack. Meanwhile the Wartortle still hid in its shell, pumping its defense. Seth didn't want to cause the Wartortle to faint completely, he despertly desired capturing the pokmeon, so any electric move was out of the picture. "Try Gastro Acid!" Matsya obeyed and soon the Wartortle was covered in poison. Forced out of its shell it shot a jet of water at Matsya, slightly injuring the Eelektrik. "Quick, before the Wartortle hides again. Try Crunch!" 

That seemed to be the ticket as Matsya bit down securely on the Wartortle, releasing only when Seth threw his pokeball.
