Wild Pokemon were around, but none of them interested the trainer. There were only specific species he was attracted to, and the one that darted right in front of them didn't. Promptly ignoring the Fighting-type, which wasn't smart to deal with in the first place thanks to his Pokemon's typing, he moved onward.

"You sure you got your nose and ears ready for this?" he teased the Mightyena.

There was an obvious attempt for the canine to clear his sinuses upon the comment, along with a shake of his head to wake up the ears on top of them. The Dark-type earned a ruffle on his head for the effort, though Kyle was pretty sure that the extra effort did nothing to the cause.

"Not what I expected, but this is still excellent."

A Houndoom. A fully grown Houndoom was in front of him. As soon as his Mightyena had caught a whiff of the canine, he can only assume that the wild Pokemon did the same. The action he was to take would depend on the response, and thankfully, out of either fight or flight, the Houndoom chose to fight. A growl emanated from its throat, readying its claws and baring its fangs at the duo. Kyle, however, was already used to such sight that it barely intimidated him.

"Delta, Swagger."

A bark and a taunt afterwards, the Houndoom immediately went on the offensive, preferring to charge straight at the Mightyena instead of firing off its ranged attacks. Pouncing, its fangs went for the Mightyena's throat, who simply stood in place, too proud to even dodge the attack. It was highly ineffective, with the smug look on his Pokemon's face somehow rubbing off of Kyle.

"Rock Smash."

Breaking free from its fangs, the Mightyena shook the Houndoom away from it and went for a counter attack soon after. Barreling over the Houndoom with its Fighting-type move, the wild Pokemon would find itself battered and weakened almost right after the start of the fight. There was never a contest if the wild Pokemon did not go for its other attacks, especially with the trump card under the Mightyena's belt.

"Finish with Tackle." A body blow to the Houndoom and a hit from an empty Pokeball from Kyle's inventory afterwards, the pair would soon watch the mechanism blink a few times as it prepared for capture.
