Figures. Okay. Throw a ball.
"This gonna be your big trophy?" the warden teased.
"Will you shut up?!" Adrian groaned. "You're going to scare it away."
"Not my problem."
Adrian wanted to smack the warden...or his own face into a rock. But he settled for watching to see if the manetric would stay in the ball or if it would break free or worse yet, if it would flee.
"What's got ya excited about a manetric anyhows? Curious."
"...Does it really matter?"
"Nah, but it seems to annoy ya to ask."
"...I'm a breeder. Manetric is...actually rather useful..."

The manetric didn't look impressed. The warden was laughing at him. And Adrian just SIGHED. Why couldn't this pokemon go into the ball eagerly like the fearow? It didn't look ready to run at any second like the skittish houndour at least, so he chose another pokeball from the dwindling ones in his pocket and hurled it. C'mon. Stay in! Just stay in the ball! It wasn't hard. Just. Stay. In. The. Ball. Go on manetric, it would all be nice and cozy and fun if you would stay caught please and thank you. Otherwise he'd need to go to goldenrod and find an electrike.

Once again, it didn't stay IN THE BALL.
Adrian breathed in, breathed out and got out ANOTHER. The balls were dwindling now. But he could do this. He could be patient and catch this pokemon, right? It didn't look close to running. If anything, it seemed mildly annoyed that its eating was interrupted by needing to bat away a pokeball.
"Just a few more tries," he mumbled to himself as he knocked back his hand and once more threw the capture capsule. C'mon. STAY. IN. THE. BALL.
"Can we hurry it up? I wanna get some lunch," the warden said.

It is kinda pathetic.
It didn't want to be caught, huh?
With a long suffering sigh, Adrian checked to see he had five pokeballs remaining and then got back to chucking them. They were now rather warm to the touch after all this time baking in the hot sun. He expanded a ball, focused on manetric and threw as hard as he could. Come on. If he hit the pokemon and it went into the ball, that was at least a chance to catch the darn thing. He watched the ball sail through the air and crossed his fingers.

Adrian cheered to himself when the manetric went into the ball. And then groaned as it popped out. He was tempted to start throwing rocks but...at this point, he rather felt like he was just as likely to catch it as it was to run off if he started testing his luck. So he drew out another ball and threw it again. STAY IN. STAY IN THE BALL LIKE THE FEAROW. Time to become friends forever. Or not. He knew electrike were common-ish in certain parts of Johto but it would still be great to catch a manetric here.

Zap.
The ball fell down. Charred.
Well this was going poorly.
"Why aintcha throwing rocks?" The warden asked cheekily. "Clearly this manetric is less skittish than the houndour."
"...Because, as much as I want to catch this manetric...I know I can catch an electrike later on down the road where I don't need to throw pokeballs at it without a battle," Adrian mumbled moodily. "But if it would stay in the ball, that'd be GREAT." Yeet! Another ball thrown in a vain hope of capturing this feisty hound that didn't seem interested in staying in a ball AT ALL.

And that was another ball. Breezily zapped.
"...I'm not even hitting this thing most of the time," Adrian mumbled. It wasn't running but boy this manetric was just done with him. Adrian shook his head as he grabbed another one of the remaining three balls at his side. He glanced wryly at the Warden, "I don't feel stupid holding onto as many safari balls as I could anymore. This one pokemon is eating through them." Clearly it wasn't eager to change its life forever like the fearow that just hopped into the ball without even a wiggle of resistance. "Three more shots..." And he threw the ball.
