Once he arrived at Misty Timberland, Morpheus wondered what to do next to find a wild Pokemon. Walking around should be a good way to do so, but it may take up a few minutes to an hour until he could find it. He would try asking for his Pokemon's help, but his Snivy was still a bit snippy with him and he doubted his Applin would search around while rolling around in his apple-shaped shell. So that left him with one option. He let out a resigned sigh as he took out his Poke Ball.

"Alright, Patrat. Come on out." He tossed it and out came his said Pokemon. "I need you to look around for any signs of wild Pokemon around here."

His Normal-type Pokemon nodded before he started looking around. In all honesty, Morpheus has no interest in training his Patrat. But he read from his Pokedex entry that they were very wary and were always on the lookout. So he might be perfect for searching for any wild Pokemon. All that was left was to wait...

Morpheus was surprised when he saw his Normal-type Pokemon in action. Tackle hitting the Cryogonal aside, his Patrat managed to dodge its Ice Shard with ease. He has low expectations of him because he was considered a newbie Pokemon for trainers to catch first. But he was impressed by how he was able to fight with full strength without fleeing at first sight.

"Nice job, Patrat!" Morpheus cheered. "You managed to break my assumptions."

<I don't know what that means, but I'm glad to hear that!> His Patrat replied.

However, his impression was cut short when he saw Cryogonal about to fire another attack. "Look alive! Endure it and counter with Bite!"

His Patrat turned around and whether the attack hit him or not, he followed through by trying to bite the snowflake-shaped Pokemon.

So far, his Patrat was dealing good damage to that Cryogonal. It's already at 14 HP, but he felt it was not enough to catch it. He knew that catching Pokemon was different because of his Patrat capture, so he might as well make one last move before he could attempt the capture.

"Now finish it off with Tackle!" Morpheus ordered.

<Got it!>

His Normal-type jumped away from the Cryogonal and just as it could fire another Ice Shard, Patrat tackled it down before taking the attack. Morpheus flinched at the last one, but at least it was enough for him to take out an empty Poke Ball to catch it.
