The trainer was walking through the woods when he spotted a bush that was rustling uncontrollably. As he approached it he stuck his arm out in front of him to prepare himself for whatever was in there. Just before he got into arm's reach something popped out a bit his arm. "AHHHH GET OFF ME!" he shouted, scaring off a group of Pikipek masked in the thick trees. Matthew shook his arm violently but it was no use. Trapinch would not let go. Monferno released himself from his Pokeball and used Mach Punch to send the creature flying. "Thanks buddy." he said, rubbing his arm to make sure it was okay.
"Alright Monferno let's go with Thunder Punch!" he said as he Pokemon launched the attack. Trapinch jumped at Monferno, mouth gaping, ready to bite down. Monferno attacked but the Thunder Punch did nothing at all to Trapinch. "Oh no it's ground type!" Matthew shouted as Trapinch bit down on Monferno's hand. "Quick Monferno use Flame Wheel!" he shouted. The monkey spun into a wheel of flames, encasing the Trapinch as well. He remained stationary, revving up the spin before finally releasing the built up pressure. Monferno spun full speed towards a tree, carrying Trapinch along with him. The Flame Wheel attack was successful in slamming Trapinch into a tree. "Now Mach Punch!" Matthew shouted. Monferno came straight out of the Flame Wheel and nailed Trapinch with the punch causing it to break through the tree and fall somewhere behind it. Matthew quickly ran past Monferno, brushing his head as he went by, and found Trapinch. He chucked a Pokeball at the downed creature and watched as it got sucked inside. 1...2...3...click! "Alright! I got him Monferno!" the trainer exclaimed, holding the Pokeball up high. "I'll check out his moves later but we gotta go back and show everyone!" he said to his Pokemon, still very excited. The boy then began to run back towards the Pokemon center with Monferno following close behind.
