As soon as Tyler saw the second Pineco he had no doubt that he had mere seconds to react before the bug type Pokemon would explode. He had gotten lucky in the previous round capturing Pineco before it could detonate but he was not sure if he would have the luck to pull off the same trick twice in a row. As he did need a second Pineco however it was well worth trying as he sent Zira towards the bug Pokemon hoping she would be able to buy him enough time to toss an Ultra Ball to try and capture the explosive Pokemon.

" Zira you are up again, this Pineco looks like it might blow at any moment and I want to try and capture it if we are quick enough. I do not need you to score any damage against it I just need you to distract it long enough for me to find an Ultra Ball." He then watched as the feline stepped towards the Pineco. She started to leap from side to side once she got as close as she felt she could without setting Pineco off. As she jumped around Tyler continued to fumble around in his backpack still trying to find a Ultra Ball when after a desperate search he finally found one.

As soon as he found a working Ultra Ball he grabbed it and took his hand out of his backpack as fast as he could before he took aim at the Pineco. The good news was that Pineco was not a very mobile target so lining it up was not hard but as it could explode inside the ball trying to keep it inside without a fiery end was the real issue. He had few other choices in this case however as it appeared that Pineco had already lit it's internal fuse. Knowing a successful capture was the only way to prevent the blast Tyler got ready to toss the ball as he prayed for good luck.

" Zira be ready for a big explosion if this fails, anything in the blast radius will really regret it yourself included. If luck is on our side we can prevent it but otherwise it is going to be bad." He then tossed the Ultra Ball as hard as he could as he watched along with Zira unable to do anything but watch as the ball attempted to capture Pineco.


OOC: Tyler sends out Zira and tosses a Ultra Ball. Updating the ball myself.

A gentle breeze billowed through the treetops as the Pineco stared at its opponents through angry eyes. All the Pokemon knew was that it wanted them to leave the area and fast. If there was a way that the blue bagworm could rescue its friend from Tyler’s grasp, then the blue Pineco would do its best to do exactly that. As its red eyes stayed transfixed on Zira the Pineco wouldn’t notice Tyler reaching in his bag for the black Ultra Ball to throw at it. All it could do was focus on detonating and blowing the whole area up – which it wanted to do if this could help it ensure that Zira and her trainer would leave. “This is not your area. You are not welcomed!”

When Tyler tossed the Ultra Ball at the Pineco, it only had a split second to spin around and catch a glimpse of the enlarged ball. It immediately swung back and forth on its long, silky thread. It would slam its rear end against the black ball with yellow markings on its dome top to try to knock the Ultra Ball away. When the ball split in two and flew backwards for a split second, the Pineco was sure that it had succeeded in its goal. With a smug look, it flipped its attention back to the large cat and stuck its tongue out at Zira. “You’ll never take me alive!” It declared boastfully.

Then a bright red light shot from the center of the Ultra Ball and wrapped itself around the bagworm. “NO!” I screeched at the top of its lungs and plopped down off the tree to hop away as fast as it could. Within a split second, though, the bagworm would disappear as it was sucked up inside of the Ultra Ball. The ball fell on the ground and rolled around through the tall grasses and over dead leaves as the Pokemon fought for its freedom inside. There was just no way it was ready to say goodbye to everything it had ever known! Within seconds, the ball would come to an abrupt stop as it dinged successfully. No matter what Pineco may have wanted, its fate had already been decided for it.
