Shiranui spotted a Murkrow and scanned it with his Pokédex. "[i]Murkrow, the Darkness Pokémon. Feared and loathed by many, it is believed to bring misfortune to all those who see it at night.[/i]"
"Wani, Water Gun!" Shiranui let his Totodile out and the starter blindsided Murkrow with a critical blast of water. Murkrow countered with Pursuit. "Poké Ball, go!" He threw a Poké Ball and the dark bird was drawn in. The ball shook over a period of one minute before he heard the ding sound that confirmed a successful capture. "I'll name you Kyouchou." He discovered his new friend had the Prankster ability.
