Cole looked up at the old building in front of him, a slightly puzzled look on his face. Rex floated next to him, looking back and forth between his trainer and the power plant. It nudged Cole slightly and he looked back at his Pokemon. Rex's single eye conveyed confusion towards Cole and the trainer simply smiled in response. "I just find it funny that going into old, abandoned places is the cardinal rule and here we are, going into an old, abandoned place," he said. The look from Rex didn't change, which Cole should have expected. He turned back to the power plant. "Well. let's get going then. We could use a new member of the team."

Cole pushed the door open and walked into abandoned building. He looked around at the old, decrepit machinary. He experimentally pressed what looked like a power switch on one of the machines, though nothing happened. Not unexpected, but it would have been cool if it did turn on. Cole stuck his hands into his pockets, walking deeper and deeper into the power plant as he listened and watched for any sign of movement.

A nearby noise drew Cole's attention. He turned his head to look in the direction of the noise and walked in its direction as slow and quiet as he could. Rex followed close behind, curiously looking past its trainer to try and spot the source of the noise. Cole rounded a corner and spotted a small blue and black Pokemon with its back facing the trainer and Pokemon duo. A Shinx, if he recalled correctly and one prime for capturing.

Cole glanced back at Rex and signaled to the Beldum, waving him forward. "Use Take Down on him while he's not looking at us," he whispered to Rex. The noises stopped and Cole spotted the Shinx's ears twitching. They were caught and were quickly losing their element of surprise. The Shinx turned around to investigate the noise it heard when Rex slammed itself into the other Pokemon. The Shinx stumbled back, dazed. Cole pulled a Pokeball from his belt and let it grow in his hand as the Shinx recovered from the blow. The small electric type shook its head and glared at Rex before lunging at the Beldum, electricity crackling all over its body. A small spark flew from the Shinx and connected with Rex's metallic body, though it didn't do much to it.

"Take Down, again!" Cole commanded. The Beldum charged forward and slammed into the Shinx. It stumbed back, fazed and not looking like it would put up another attempt at defending itself. Cole underhand rolled the ball at the Shinx, where it bumped against the Pokemon's leg and opened. The Shinx was pulled inside, leaving only the Pokeball with a alternating red and white button. After a few moments, the flashing stopped and Cole picked up the Pokeball with a large smile on his face.

"Three down, seven to go," Cole told Rex as he walked towards the entrance way, Shinx in hand.
