...but considering that he had a Water type and a Grass type, Luu thought that the first Pokemon he should try to catch would be a Fire type Pokemon. You know, to be able to have at least a better chance in type match ups.

Still, ugh, this place was just too hot. He had heard from the guard (or something, she sounded like a tour guide honestly) that the volcano had been dormant for a long while, but still, the activity here was certainly of a temperature that he was not used to. As soon as he found a suitable Pokemon to add into his team, he was planning to hightail out of here and retreat to the much cooler beaches near his dorm. Yep, sounds like a good plan alright, he thought, trying to keep himself optimistic. Though even his trusty partner, Gogo, had opted to retreat in her Poke Ball, so that wasn't very helpful.


He had trudged pretty high up on this mountain at this point - where were all the Pokemon? He sure hoped that one was going to show up soon; he felt like he was going to faint if he climbed up any higher. Not only was the heat getting to him, but he was no good with physical activities. Luu was going to need a long break after this, yep.

And behold, his prayers were answered, as if a goddess had been listening to him! In his line of sight Luu spied a Vulpix foraging for something to eat. How the heck the little fox would find anything edible in such a terrain made him wonder, but it wasn't like the land was completely barren. Eh, that would be a trail of thought for another day. He should probably focus on his current mission laid out in front of him: Catch that Vulpix!

Without hesitating he reached for his Poke Ball that held Didi and threw it in the air, letting out the water type. He made an eager cry, but then realised where he was and suddenly looked as uncomfortable as his trainer, "Yeah I know there's no water here, Didi, but we've got a battle to fight. There! We'll need to recruit that Vulpix into our team of warriors!" the Buizel had made an exasperated sigh, but okay, fine - it would be good to have more Pokemon with them, hopefully with more sense than his trainer and that Turtwig.

It seemed that their conversation had gotten the Vulpix to notice them, but rather than frightened, she was more of curious. Actually, Luu guessed that the Fire type looked rather young since it seemed small, but maybe that was really their size..? Well, either way..."Alright, Didi, use Water Gun!" his Pokemon did the command, shooting directly at where the Vulpix stood, but she easily dodged it by jumping up in the air before landing gracefully nearby. She somehow seemed unfazed by the attack and still retained that curious expression. Perhaps she was older than he had expected? Well whatever, Didi should be able to handle her. He was a Water type after all.

The Vulpix then rushed in with a Quick Attack, but instead of dodging it, Luu commanded Didi to use Aqua Jet. The two collided, with the Vulpix looking more badly hurt than his Buizel. While the fire type was still trying to shake off the pain, Luu told Didi to use Aqua Tail, and that seemed to weaken her enough for her to stay in place, "Sorry about roughing you up, little one, but that's how catching rules go, they say," and so with that he threw one of his empty Poke Balls at her, and the Vulpix didn't seem to even mind. A few shakes and a click told him that he had his third Pokemon in hand, and at first he was suspicious that it was that easy, "Wait, really? That's it? That's the thing they say we should look out for when a Pokemon gets caught? Huh."

Well, that was that.
