BA018

==Synopsis==
Following Yazmyne's Cerulean Gym Battle, Dante and Yazmyne go to Route 24 so Yazmyne can capture a Water-Type, per Misty's advice. Misty gave Yazmyne a book about Water-Types and Yazmyne flips through to find a Water-Type she might like. She asks Dante if he wants to capture one, but Dante says that if it's not a Surskit that he doesn't want a Water-Type. Yazmyne reveals she bought some Great Balls just for the occasion too. Yazmyne and Dante arrive at a popular fishing spot as many trainers come out to capture a Water-Type Pokemon. Yazmyne and Dante meet a group of Fisherman, who allow Yazmyne to rent a Fishing rod. They give Yazmyne five Dive Ball, which makes capturing Water-Type Pokemon a bit easier.
Yazmyne soon sees a boy from afar who she recognizes. The boy is Colby, an childhood friend of hers from the Hoenn Region. Colby is from Ordale Town, and his first Pokemon is a Lombre who Yazmyne remembers with as a Lotad. Yazmyne introduces Colby to Dante and they explain why they are here. Colby volunteers to help teach Yazmyne to fish and she accepts.
Yazmyne succeeds in snagging several Magikarp, but she throws them back into the water. Colby says that Magikarp evolve into powerful Gyarados, and Yazmyne says that her brother has a Gyarados back at the Petalburg Gym and the species are highly territorial, very scary, and just as difficult to train. Yazmyne says she's also not interested in getting Hyper Beamed in the face all the time. Yazmyne manages to snag a Slowpoke, but the Psychic-Type uses it's Psychic to repel Yazmyne's Dive Balls, and it refuses to battle.
Yazmyne then snags a Staryu who is not interested in being caught so easily. Yazmyne gets excited and battles Staryu with Butterfree who is defeated by Staryu's Rapid Spin attacks, which cuts through Butterfree's Gust. Yazmyne tries to trap Staryu with Spinarak's webs but it is ineffective due to Stary's physical constitution. Staryu escapes but seeing it's power, Yazmyne goes on the hunt for it. After trial an error, Yazmyne finds Staryu again and battles it with Pidgey. Bulbasaur wanted to battle it, but Yazmyne hopes the capture will bring her and Pidgey closer together. Pidgey proves to be quite the match against Stayu, able to use Wing Attack to counter Rapid Spin and Twister to counter Bubble Beam. After a fierce battle between the two Pokemon, Pidgey lands a Quick Attack and slams Staryu into a rock. Yazmyne then throws a Dive Ball at Staryu and manages to capture it.
