This area had brought back some fond memories, as well as memories that were...not nearly as endearing for lack of a better term. Some of the more memorable moments for Shane include capturing his first pokemon on the island as a Bolt Student, and rescuing a baby red bird from falling to what could have potentially been its seemingly inevitable doom. As for the not-so-memorable moments? That's a story for another time.

Right now though, Shane and his Ducklett, Aflac, would resume their training today. And when it was all said and done, perhaps that bird will learn how to take a decent hit and build some vitality through all this. Or so the boy would hope anyway. What would make this journey even better is the off chance of acquiring a new ally. There was one pokemon in particular that piqued Shane's interest...

My oh my, that was one odd-looking discolored rock over there. A rock with what appeared to be a horn at the very top of it. It just sat there like it was nobody's business. Upon further examining though, it turns out that it was indeed not a rock. Rather, it was a pokemon, and quite a unique one at that. None among the likes of which Shane had ever seen before.

His trusted PokeDex had identified it as a Larvitar, a rock-and-ground-type. The boy knew right then and there that he just had to have it. The potential of that particular pokemon practically oozed from the youngling. The creature was however taken aback by some obnoxiously loud quacking on the part of Aflac. The Larvitar unleashed a massive beam of light towards the Ducklett, perhaps of means of saying 'shut up already.'

Grounded by this assault for the moment, Aflac looked up to his trainer. One can practically feel the intensity in Shane's beady eyes. He wanted to add that pokemon to his ever-growing team, and he would stop at nothing to do so. "Go for it, Aflac!" And indeed he would go alright. "Scald, let's go!" Piping hot water was sprayed and the Larvitar sustained a burn from it, and because it needed time to recharge after the Hyper Beam, it simply stood there, motionless.

"Now use Brine!" Another massive stream of water was blasted from the mouth, or rather, the beak of the Ducklett, putting the Larvitar down for the count giving Shane the opening for the capture as he quickly lunged an empty pokeball at it.

Wiggle. Wiggle. Wiggle. Click!

The deed was done. And with it, this expedition was done.
