used_fireblast[The feed opens with a tired-looking Harry. His duster is sporting several new suspiciously-purple stains on the leather, but he looks none the worse for the wear, at least in terms of the recent Rocket shenanigans.]
All right, I give up.
[Obviously not easy for him to say. He's looking pretty frustrated.]
...Does anyone have any advice on actually catching these things? I've been trying to catch an -I think they're called Abra- for weeks now. I've been trying to put them to sleep or paralyze them with Campbell, but it doesn't seem to matter. They either teleport away before my guys can get a real shot off, or I get zapped up into the air and dropped from about ten feet.
[That's been happening a lot lately, actually. He's beginning to suspect that one Abra in particular has been stalking him just to mess with him in retribution for an attempted capture.]
Thought I'd finally caught one the other day, but-
Dile.
[Harry looks at something to his right for a second.]
What?
Sandile.
Is that-? GET THAT OUT OF YOUR MOUTH!
[Harry dives offscreen for a moment, and there's the sound of a struggle. Muffled Pokemon cries and growling indicates that whatever his Sandile has, it doesn't want to let go of easily.]
[When Harry reappears, he's awkwardly holding an oozing Ditto, which seems no worse for the wear from its apparent stint as Sandile-gum.]
All I got was this thing. So yeah, I'm open for suggestions from people who are actually competent at this stuff.
All right, I give up.

I think the last time Lara managed to KO something we were trying to catch, it just sort of vanished, but those were these weird ghost-bug things.

Maybe a few new entomophobes afterwards, but nothing a nice industrial-sized can of Raid won't help.

Date: 2012-05-23 04:56 pm (UTC)I think you'd want to try a fast ball.
Re: [video]
Date: 2012-05-27 06:02 pm (UTC)[Completely straight face. Harry is an actual adult-type person and not secretly twelve years old. Also, we have always been at war with Eastasia.]
They have all those at the Department Store in Goldenrod, or am I looking at some kind of specialty catalog here?

Date: 2012-05-28 05:35 am (UTC)They have them there. I think it's the 2nd floor or whatever.
Re: [video]
Date: 2012-05-28 05:29 pm (UTC)[Though the thought of Carrier Pidgey is oddly appealing, he has to admit.]
...Just to clarify, these fast balls are designed to work on fast Pokemon, or are they somehow faster themselves?
[Rocket-propelled Pokeballs, brought to you by the fine minds at ACME.]
Re: [video] The awkward moment when you thought you tagged something but you hadn't... my bad!
Date: 2012-06-05 01:12 pm (UTC)Re: [Video] Quite all right.
Date: 2012-06-06 07:58 pm (UTC)[He strongly suspects the latter, but this kind of thing is like picking at scabs for Harry. Not really good for anyone involved, but he just can't seem to stop.]
