The first thing that got his attention was the scuffling noise not too far ahead from where he was searching. So of course, he had to check it out.

Before he approached, he summoned his Riolu from its containment unit, watching as the little one landed clumsily—out of his Pokémon this one hadn’t been with him as long as the other three yet.

“Go check that out,” he said, before waving the Riolu forward.

But the Fighting-type didn’t need to check it out as the presence literally burst out of hiding, revealing itself to be a slobbering… huh.

He hadn’t seen this Pokémon anywhere, and wondered what it was.

A quick attempt at Headbutt very nearly threw the Riolu off-balance, however the smaller fighting-type was unafraid. Taking the brunt force of the attack, it then pushed its paws out in a Counter gesture, sending it reeling.

He blinked at the reaction—how did such a simple attack cause that much damage?

Not content, the Riolu rushed forward in a one-two Force Palm strike, ensuring that it stayed down before it could get up.

“Interesting.”

An empty Pokéball then went flying towards the strange one, the Obstagoon.
