Where was Bulbasaur when he needed him. He'd let his one and only Pokémon out to wander as he'd sat down to rest, but now their was a male Dragonite standing before him, ready to be caught, and his Bulbasaur was nowhere in sight. How was he going to catch two such powerful Pokémon without any Pokémon to battle them.\n\n_Fine, I'll just take it into my own hands._\n\nEvan reached into his pocket and felt a great weight in his palm. He withdraw a Pokéball and looked at it. Oh, this was a special one, and it weighed a lot more than the average Pokéball.\n\nYeah, this would do.\n\nThe Dragonite stood their unfazed, like he didn't expect this to go well for Evan.\n\nAnd that's where he was wrong.\n\nWith that, Evan hurled the Pokéball. It soared through the air. And before Dragonite could react, the Pokéball hit him.\n\nRight where his legs connected.\n\nThe Dragonite's face contorted as it dropped to its knees, roaring in agony, its paws grasping at its injury.\n\nAnd then the Pokéball opened, and the Dragonite was sucked inside with the pull of red energy.\n\nEvan expected the Pokéball to blink, the Dragonite inside to fight back.\n\nBut the instant the Pokéball hit the ground, it winked out, going completely still.\n\nApparently, that hit had completely leveled the Dragonite.\n\nIn victory, Evan went to retrieve his Pokéball.\n\n\"I caught a Dragonite!\"\n\nAnd then their was a thump behind him.\n\nEvan turned around to see another Dragonite watching him.\n\nEvan withdraw another of those heavy Pokéballs from his pocket.\n\n_Alright, let's go!_\n\nAnd he hurled it.\n\nBut this Dragonite was a female.\n\nThe Pokéball bounced back to the ground, unopened. The Dragonite looked at it unfazed.\n\nAnd then she picked up the Pokéball, and flew off with it into the sky.\n\nEvan looked back down at the Pokéball still in his hand.\n\n_Oh well, at least I got one._\n\nAnd that's when Bulbasaur decided to show up.\n\nEven sighed.\n\n_Well, it's about time._\n\nEvan decided to introduce Bulbasaur to his knew Pokémon.\n\nBut when he let him out, all Dragonite did was slump to the ground and continue moaning and writhing.\n\nEvan looked back at the Pokéball.\n\n_Uh, maybe I should have given him a little more time in there to recover._\n\nBulbasaur just glared at Evan.\n\n_Like seriously?_\n\n  \n  \n\n"}
