Armed with Park Balls and Saber, Josh rode through the brush, keeping an eye out for Pokémon that traditionally scored high. Bug-types were not his forte at all; he owned a few, but not many. He was far from lithe, many winged bugs unable to bear his weight in flight. King Zing had amazing strength to be able to do so, and Josh couldn't wait until his arm was feeling well enough to bumble through Petalburg Woods astride him.
The time passed quickly, and Josh had little to show for his efforts; down to the ten-minute mark, he never made a catch. He was in luck; in the many years it had been since Josh entered the contest, species from abroad had been introduced to the park, making scoring a much more complex affair. Having made his way to the corner of the park, a Larvesta crawled, its oranges aglow bright as the sun. This was quite the rare species that would score well.
With time running out, Josh knew he only had one chance, and he had to make it quick. He slid down from Saber's back, ordering a QUICK ATTACK before the wild could BUG BUZZ. While his Manectric was mid-charge, Josh hurled a Park Ball toward the fire-type. As it sailed toward the wild, encapsulating it, the buzzer sounded. He took his Poké Ball to the judges for evaluation, receiving the bad news.
His capture had not been completed prior to time expiring, so his catch would not count.
"...You're kidding me," the Champion moped, wandering off to track down Andrea. "My catch didn't count. Apparently the Poké Ball has to lock prior to time expiring for it to be legal. Guess I'm scoring a big fat Swanna egg this time around..."
