”Uh, no?” Stacy said, a sweat drop rolling down the side of her head, ”It only took me this one luxury ball to catch Mei. Once in a while it can take more but that’s usually only if the pokemon is very strong…” she added. So far the three pokemon she had captured had only taken one pokeball each to catch. ”That seems unusual for a pidove…” she muttered thoughtfully before Carl enthusiastically led her back into the tall grass for a second attempt. She had a bit of difficulty pushing through the grass at the same breakneck pace as her fellow trainer but she managed to catch up as he stopped.
Stacy watched over Carl’s shoulder as he chucked a pokeball at another wild pidove. It hit the pokemon head on but the pidove easily escaped the confines of the capture device. Carl repeated the gesture with a few more balls until the pidove flew off. Stacy watched the small pokemon until it disappeared into a stand of nearby trees then turned to look at Carl. ”Didn’t anyone ever show you how to catch a pokemon?” she asked, incredulously. No wonder it had taken him so many pokeballs to catch his other pokemon, and he had been lucky at that!
Stacy sighed, ”You need to weaken them first,” she said, ”You know, battle it with your other pokemon to lower its health. THEN you can throw the pokeball. The best though is to try to give it a status effect like sleep or paralyze or poison for example.” she explained. This was really basic stuff, she couldn’t believe his parents hadn’t shown him the things he needed to know, letting him set off on his adventure with little to no knowledge of the pokemon world or basic life skills like how to budget. ”Anyway, why don’t you give it another go?” she asked, ”I’m sure you’ll get it this time.”
