[Tristan Carter]

Under normal circumstances, Tristan would be more than happy to stay away from a volcano whether it was active or not. Sadly, he didn't find himself under normal circumstances. It hadn't been very long after receiving his starters that the young man realized that he had made unwise decisions as far as types went. Of course, he wasn't at a complete disadvantage. Froakie was a water type, and that was strong against multiple types that would make it easier to have an advantage. Of course, it wasn't like Tristan had ever caught a pokemon before. Or even battled pokemon.

It was starting to become very apparent that he had made a few unwise decisions. With a sigh, he trekked on, hoping that he came across anything before he completely convinced himself to give up before even starting.

[Tristan Carter]

Things had been quiet on the mountain for a long while, interrupted only by the occasional sigh of disappointment from Tristan, who was blaming himself for not being able to find any pokemon. "Leave it to me to go to the uninhabited part of the volcano," he muttered aloud after a while. He started to head back, convinced that his entire trip was a bust. He was so upset that he almost didn't hear the metallic shrieks that were rapidly approaching. He didn't react until they were nearly upon him. When he did turn to see what was making the ungodly sound, he was amazed by the sight of a large, silvery bird. Overcome with excitement, Tristan fumbled about before finally grabbing one of his pokemon. "Alright," he said to himself as he sent out Froakie. "You know the basics, Tristan. All you have to do is put your knowledge into practice. Froakie, start out with Lick!"

The frog quickly dashed to the bird and licked it, causing something to happen to the bird. Tristan smiled, knowing that the move paralyzed the enemy. Unfortunately, the paralysis didn't keep the enemy from attacking with its wings. Froakie was knocked back by the attack, but the little blue frog was still ready to fight. "Hydropump!" Tristan called. He hoped to damage the bird enough that capture would be a given. The bird tried to move away from the attack, but it couldn't move well enough to evade. It was a sad sight, Tristan supposed, but he could always heal the bird later. He chucked a pokeball, waited for it to stop rocking, and all but screamed from happiness when the capture was complete. He picked up Froakie, spun the confused frog around, and went and picked up the pokeball. As far as the young boy was concerned, the greatest moment of his entire life just happened.
