Wonder when we'll run into some tougher Pokemon. All the ones I've run into are way too easy.

[A pause, followed by the sound of his nidoran letting out a sad "Nyeh".]

Anyone want to battle? I could use a real challenge.

[Anyone en route to Violet City is sure to find Riku sooner or later. And why?

Because he's keeping his eyes out for any passing trainers. Battling wild Pokemon is fine and dandy, but level 5s grow old after a while. Those in the lower level ranges beware, for he's been working his Pokemon to the bone, with both of them around levels 8 and 9.]

What, did it run away?

Y-Yeah, after it broke out of the Pokeball I threw at it.

Did you weaken it first?

[voice]

[pianissimoe.livejournal.com]

I did a little bit... But I didn't want to hurt it too much.

See, that's the thing. If you want to catch Pokemon, you have to weaken them enough. Hurting them's the only option.

Y-Yeah, but...but I still don't like it! I don't mind if I don't catch it...

[voice]

[islandshore.livejournal.com]

If you say so.

Could always try and go for a Caterpie or Weedle. They're easier to catch.

Ah, all right. I'll try to remember that. Caterpie-san and Weedle-san.
