"E...ehm you have something on your back?", wandering along the water that drizzled out of the mountain, a small blue pokemon had made its way up E's back, hanging from E's backpack now.

"Oh hell yes! A Bagon! Step aside, little Metapod. I will take care of that", Dante said loudly ready to catch the pokemom.

"Are we all ignoring the CLAUNCHER attached to your backpack?", Eden said frustrated. "Oh well, I will deal with it then. It's your turn", throwing a pokeball behind E, Eden's friend the alolan sandshrew jumped out. "San! Good to see you buddy! Use Blizzard", Eden commanded trying to get rid of the clauncher without hurting E.

"Eh?!" E was confused at the sudden weight on his back. How did he not realise? He wasn't even the one who fell in! Panicking, E started shaking around, only for burmy to wake up startled. In a burst of panic, it cast protect around itself and E. Thhankfully, this knocked the clauncher of him and shielded them just in time.

Shielded them for what exactly? The roaring blizzard coming from such a tiny pokemon, thank arceus they didn't get stuck in that.

"Oh damn that clo...what is that sound! Omg, E there is a SLOWPOKE! Okay , cool! Sandshrew, use blizzard again!", turning its snowy attack to the side sandshrew continue blasting its attack on the pokemon that seemed to be appearing out of no where. "YES, you got it!", jumping into Eden's arms his Alolan Sandshrew cried in happyness.

"Watch where you're firing that thing!" E shouted at Eden, cradling his precious burmy who was almost frozen to death. Even Dante looked worried for his pokemon, ice was never good for a dragon, especially one with an affinity for the earth. It was a dangerous move, proving that Eden was just as inexperienced as E was! Hey, that was actually kind of comforting. 

Shortly after this scuffle, more pokemon arrived. More tame than the last, but by no means less terrifying. "Burmy, poison powder and string shot!"

Burmy was quick to attack, preferring to deter the attacker rather than finish it off out right. 

"Aren't ice pokemon the best!", Eden screamed celebrating the success of his sandshrew. "Ehm... they are strong", Dante said - worried about battling the ice Alolan pokemon. "Oh well! Now its my turn. Garchamp use bite!", charging forward brutally biting into Bagon. "Okay pokeball", with a big swing the ball hit the wounded pokemon before capturing it. "Bim, Bim.... Bim... Bong", the ball rested still. Dante had just grown his team

Eden D. Rain CAUGHT THE BAGON! [break]
Note: make sure you attempt the capture of a Pokemon from the previous set before summoning the next set!

With the malamar poisoned and wrapped in sticky silk, E would have taken matters in his own hands to yank the pokemon to one side and throw it towards the water. This along with the poison that afflicted it would weaken it over time, causing it to run away and lick its wounds than stay and fight.

E noticed the bagon being caught by the stranger they had just met, raising an eyebrow. Turns out he wasn't just here to bathe, he was getting involved on the action as well. Eden was also now starting to get more involved, taking his aim at the new pokemon that just arrived.

"I won't let you have all the fun." E exclaimed, pointing at something that looked more like a rock in the water. "Attack!" Burmy swung off of his arm, using string shot to attach itself to the side of the cliff trail. From there, it released a puff of poison down on the pokemon - clamperl.

In retaliation to the purple spores infecting it, the shell opened up as the creature inside coughed, spitting out a jet of water at the burmy. It was faster than they both had thought, slamming into burmy but not knocking it down just yet.

"Bug buzz!" the command was set, and burmy's leaves rustled powerfully to release a wave of damaging vibrations. With the shell open, the attack hit well, and E didn't hesitate throwing a pokeball.

"Oh wow! Both of you caught a Pokemon! Congratu...CRACK", and again the ground beneath Eden's feet opened. The whole mountain upon which the meteor falls laid, was made out of a fragile powdery stone that sparkeld in colours of gold and silver. Apparently, some of its ground was hollow upon up a network of caves and water. "Auh...what was..."trying to collect his vision through a cloud of dust, Eden felt the warm wet of water around him. Luckily, Eden and his partner Sandshrew had landed in what seemed to be an underground lake. The water glittered against the wall in this hidden atrium. It was beautiful!

"Are you?", Eden asked Sandshrew that had swum up his shoulders and was now resting on his back. "San!", the pokemon nodded, recovering from the shock. Looking up the ceiling was too far away to climb up. The trainer would have to find another way. Dragging himself and his pokemon out of the water into a glowing cave, Eden was galvanised by the crystal that illuminated the place. It truly was magical - better than the bochure.

As he stepped forward, the trainer was stopped by a small cry: "Baltoy". Looking around Eden quickly spotted a big Baltoy trapped between two fallen stones. "Oh no, let me help you, buddy.", freeing the little pokemon with a claw attack from Sandshrew, it immediately jumped into Eden's arms in gratitude. "Damn, you are heavy", without knowing it - Eden had made a friend.

BOTH OF YOUR CAPTURE ATTEMPTS ARE SUCCESSFUL!

E was so caught up in catching the clamperl, that he almost didn't notice the earth breaking nearby. It wasn't anything too large, or dangerous, but it had caused Eden to fall through it. One moment he was there, the next, gone!

"Eden?" a head peered over the edge of the open cavern, his hair hanging down, "Oh, you're okay."

After sliding down carefully and recalling burmy, E was now accompanied with his munchlax. Confident that the trainers and pokemon were okay to continue, they would station themselves momentarily in this hidden, underground pond.

A pond that seemed to be brimming with life.

Emerging from it was a tiny little thing, blue and slick as it slithered its way onto the land. A dragon, right? E immediately glanced over his shoulder, expecting Dante to swoop in and nab it before anyone else. "Munchlax, grab that pokemon!"

The hungry creature followed the command, so long as it was able to chew on some berries at the same time. With a mighty whack on its stomach, munchlax charged forwards with immense power, opening its mouth wide to gnaw on the dratini. This, of course, was not warmly welcomed. In retaliation, it lashed out with a tail of water and tried to get away. Munchlax tanked it quite well, and followed up with a looming shadow over the dratini.

"Body slam." E prepared a pokeball in his hands, reeling it back and throwing it just after dratini was semi-flattened.
