It only occurred to Basil that he may had screwed himself out of the chance to get the Bulbasaur; by the time he would climb out of the drain it would have probably ran off somewhere so when he saw it peeking its head out of the grass he was pleasantly surprised, but also slightly nervous about what to do. He couldn't go and stupidly toss out his Pokemon or else he'd probably scare it away! Maybe he could bribe it with food or maybe he could just be forward. Actually, maybe being forward was the better idea.

[color=8882be]"Would you like to have a battle with me?"[/color] said Basil, smiling gently, yet a little nervously at the creature as it analyzed him. Hopefully, his action of kindness earlier would have persuaded it to agree to battle him and hopefully catch it.
