Tyler watched as another Trainer - Meg - caught a Rattata. As much as he wanted to save his PokeBalls for something more appealing to him, every trainer had to start off somewhere, he thought. He looked over to Phyre.

"Ready, boy? We're going to get this Rattata," Tyler said, confident smile on his face. The Charmander by his side nodded again, looking over to the Rattata nearby. "Okay, Phyre, let's start this off with a simple Scratch!" Phyre lunged forwards towards the purple rat, claws ready to swipe. It connected, the impact sending the small creature backwards. It pulled itself together, large teeth ready to bite down on lizard scales. Tyler noted the Rattata's movement before watching it rush towards Phyre with remarkable speed. He was surprised as the rat dug its teeth into Phyre's tail.

"Phyre!" he shouted out, concerned. The CHarmander hissed in pain, flicking his tail around, the Rattata's teeth still buried in. Tyler glared at the rat, before smirking a little. "Phyre, twist your tail around. Use your tail's fire to get Rattata off!" Phyre flailed around a little more before focussing, tail twisting enough for the flames of his tail to warm up the Rattata. It squealed, letting go and backing off.

"Okay, Phyre, Scratch it while it's down!" Phyre acknowledged Tyler's command, lunging in again and digging his claws deep into Rattata's side with a powerful swipe. Tyler winced at the Rattata's angry cry before grabbing a PokeBall.

"This better work..." He threw the PokeBalltowards the Rattata, a red light enveloping the creature as the PokeBall opened nearby it. The PokeBall wobbled back and forth once, twice... Tyler paused, staring nervously. A third wobble and the ball sparked slightly. Rattata had been captured!

Tyler grinned. "Aha, well it's a start! Great job, Phyre!" Tyler stroked Phyre's tail slightly, making sure the bite-marks weren't too bad. Releasing the Rattata from its PokeBall, he checked on it too. It seemed fine.
"So, you're a male Rattata, then... Hmm. Splinter. I'll call you Splinter."
Tyler looked around, noticing another member of the group sitting not too far off. She herself had caught a Rattata. She was also sketching and taking notes on the Pokemon and area around her, it seemed; this was much like Tyler and he grinned at the thought of having something in common with someone. He approached slowly.

"Oh, hey. I see you're sketching... What's the sketch of?" he said, smiling lightly at her.
