It was not Lionel's day. After he went into the forest, he had to run away three times from wild Pokemon. The first time was when Buddy came to close to a cocoon Pokemon, Kakuna, and two Beedrill appeared. He quickly recalled Buddy and made a run. The second time was when he tried to climb into a tree to see if there were any interesting Pokemon, and the Mankey that were in the tree got angry. The third time was...well, Lionel hadn't clearly seen what he ran away from. Something big moved inside the bushes, and two red eyes stared at him. Enough to make him flee again. "Sigh...isn't there anything I can catch here?" Then, he saw it. A mole was eating berries. Except that 1. moles weren't a feet big 2. moles didn't walk on two legs and 3. moles were practically blind.
The last point was quickly proven when the creature seemed to notice Lionel right off the bat, stuffed three berries in its mouth, and dug a hole to escape. It all happened so fast, Lionel didn't even release Buddy yet. "Maybe it isn't the biggest, or the strongest looking, but I am going to capture him anyway! Well, if I can find him again, anyway..." Suddenly, he heard a buzzing sound behind him. As he turned around, he saw the two Beedrill from before. "But first, I should train the muscles in my legs."
************************************************
"Damnit, I've finally lost them." Lionel held on to a tree to catch his breath. "Now...to go and search for that mole again." He looked around and couldn't believe his eyes. The mole was taking a nap on one of the rocks right in front of him. Lionel quietly released Buddy, took out one of his capsules, and whispered: "Buddy, I'm going to try to catch it. If I would not succeed, try to weaken it a bit, ok?" The Slowpoke nodded. "Good." Lionel focused, then threw his capsule with full power at the mole. However, it wasn't as sleepy as he looked like, because as soon as Lionel threw the capsule, it jumped to dodge, and tried to dig itself in again. "Buddy, don't let him! Use your mind attack to throw it in the air, then hit it with your water attack!" Buddy's eyes glew blue-ish, and suddenly the mole was launched into the air. Then Buddy fired a water blast at it, which it dodged by spinning around rapidly. It landed on the ground and attacked Buddy with its claws, which looked harder than usual, almost like they were made of metal. "Buddy, watch out!" However, the Slowpoke reacted too slow, and the metal claw made contact. It didn't seem to do much to Buddy though. Then the mole began scratching Buddy simultaneously. "Buddy, counter with your water attack." Because the mole was still close to him, the water attack had a big impact. It was knocked against a rock, tried to get up, and felt on its back again, completely bewildered by its defeat. "Alright, you're not escaping this time!" Lionel yelled as he threw another capsule. The essence of the mole was sucked up by the capsule, and the capsule fell to the ground. It shook once...twice...trice...then they heard a click, confirming the capture was succesfull. "Yes! We did it, Buddy! We did it!" He picked up the capsule in which he caught the mole, and the one that missed. "Alright...now the only thing that's left is to get out of here."
