Welp, that was embarrassing.

Juana learned two things that afternoon. One, what Trainer Points were, and two, that she didn't have enough for one measly capsule.

"Looks like we're going to have to wait on growing our little family, huh, Bounsweet?" Juana asked, playfully tapping the Pokémon's calyx. Bounsweet made a small, high-pitched undulating noise in response.

Juana figured she might as well do a little bit of exploring and see what other Pokémon were out there. She passed by the river; there was a [url=http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Krabby_(Pok%C3%A9mon)]Krabby[/url] and a [url=http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Corphish]Corphish[/url] duking it out, making bubbling sounds as their red claws clanged against each other, Vice Grip against Vice Grip. There were some [url=http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Psyduck_(Pok%C3%A9mon)]Psyducks[/url] lying on their backs in the river, and a couple of [url=http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Surskit_(Pok%C3%A9mon)]Surskits[/url] chasing each other around those Psyducks.

"Real pretty, isn't it?" Juana remarked, sitting down on a grassy hill and watching the Psyduck float by. Just for fun, she decided to see if her Pokédex would register them.

"Hmm..." Juana hummed, taking a photograph of the Psyduck.

[i]"Psyduck. ??? Pokémon. ??? Type,"[/i] the Pokédex display reported.

"This is pretty fun," Juana said, attempting to catch a Surskit on camera.

[i]"Surskit. ??? Pokémon. ??? Type."[/i]

The picture was kind of smudged due to how fast the photographed Surskit was moving, but it was legible enough for the Pokédex to register.

Juana turned around and spotted a Bunnelby warren. She peered into the rabbit hole, and a Bunnelby popped out, staring expectantly at her.

"Oh, hey there," she said, waving.

The Bunnelby quickly retreated into the hole.

Juana sat down again and flipped open her tool belt, pulling out her miniature notebook and a pencil. She spotted two sleeping [url=http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Yungoos_(Pok%C3%A9mon)]Yungooses[/url] and a surveying [url=http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Gumshoos_(Pok%C3%A9mon)]Gumshoos[/url] in the grass. She found funny that a [url=http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Ledyba_(Pok%C3%A9mon)]Ledyba[/url] had alighted upon the Gumshoos's head, and yet the Gumshoos did not move from its spot. That annoyed expression on Gumshoos's face did not budge an inch. Even as the Ledyba crawled on its face.

Juana had to really quickly snap a photograph.

[i]"Gumshoos. ??? Pokémon. ??? type,"[/i] the Pokédex displayed.

The Gumshoos was certainly much too strong for Juana to even consider taking on at this point, but it was fun to watch the way the Ledyba crawled all over the Stakeout Pokémon; the ladybug even crawled up to Gumshoos's nose and honked it a couple of times. And yet Gumshoos remained stoic.

Juana laughed and started to do a really quick drawing of the Ledyba and the Gumshoos. "Alright, don't move, ladybug..." Juana said, sketching quickly the gesture of the bug and its position on the Gumshoos's face.

She was interrupted, however, by an aggressive-sounding chirp coming from Bounsweet. Juana put her sketchpad down and saw that the Corphish that was fighting the Krabby earlier had bested its adversary and was now challenging Bounsweet to a fight. The Corphish and Bounsweet stared each other down.

Juana smirked and jumped up, startling a couple of smaller Pokémon as she did (including a Bunnelby). "You wanna [i]go[/i], craw-daddy?" she said, pointing a finger at Corphish.

She quickly retracted it when the Corphish snapped its pincer at her. "Oops, not at me!" she clarified.

Bounsweet rattled its calyx, turning it like a crank and giving the Corphish a taunting raspberry. Corphish raised its pincers into the air and frothed once more.

"Bounsweet, look out, it's attacking!" Juana warned, as Corphish came at Bounsweet with a Vice Grip. 

Corphish grabbed Bounsweet by the calyx, but Bounsweet twisted its calyx around and around in an attempt to shake Corphish off. Corphish maintained its death grip upon Bounsweet's stem, but Bounsweet was having none of that and threw out a host of leaves surrounded by magic. The Magical Leaf attack shot towards Corphish, knocking it off Bounsweet's stem and sending it reeling back.

Bounsweet then bounced up and launched another set of Magical Leaves at Corphish. Corphish blocked with its claw, and countered with a Water Gun to Bounsweet's face. Bounsweet, however, resisted water, and took the Water Gun like it was nobody's business. Bounsweet tackled into Corphish, and sent the crawfish Pokémon scuttling backwards. The Corphish lost its balance and tripped on a rock, which in turn led it to fall backwards into the water.

Bounsweet puffed its cheeks up and huffed, before turning to Juana with a silly smile.

"Well," Juana remarked, "I trust you can handle things on your own?"

Bounsweet frowned and gestured towards itself with its calyx, before pointing to Juana.

The Corphish scuttled back out of the water, sopping wet and quite annoyed.

"Uh, Bounsweet, use Magical Leaf again!" Juana tried.

Bounsweet turned around and shot a leaf at Corphish, catching it in between the eyes. Corphish stared up at the leaf, and its eyes lolled into the back of its head and it fell over.

Bounsweet stood over Corphish in pride and bounded back over to Juana.

"I think that might be enough Pokémon watching for now, Bounsweet," Juana remarked, picking up her Pokémon. "Why don't we get you to a Center? I'm pretty sure there'll be other Trainers there."
