Episode One: Into the Horizon

Beyond the initial confusion, the production crew knew when to fall silent and merely do their jobs. The cameras still in working order turned to take Rosie's words and actions in, and the camera man now without a tool, quickly backed out of shot and stood with one of the others. The Director watched with shining eyes, though she too didn't speak. Rosie was the focus of the show, after all.

It almost seemed as if the invisible force was hoping to catch attention by the ruckus it was causing, as the shaking camera grew steady once Rosie's words rang out declaring a search. "S-Sable," a weary voice caused. It sounded as if its source was now at the foot of the tripod, and if the girl and her Pokemon looked closely enough, they could make out a transparent outline of the troublemaker staring back at them and turning to glance around its surroundings, as if looking for something. It didn't fully materialize, though, so the imperfect sight of the cameras couldn't seem to pick up the mysterious Pokemon.

Upon the sound of the Pokedex beeping to life, the ghost Pokemon materialized, physically flinching as she did so. Her jewel-like eyes swept her surroundings before finally resting on Rosie and her Surskit. Holding her hands out in a sign of understanding, she stepped away from the equipment but seemed hesitant to back off further. That is, until her gaze caught sight of the fact that some of the cameras were lowered toward her, documenting all that went on around them. A small grin of triumph crossed the Pokemon's face, and she noticed Rosie's battle-ready stance. Sableye was happy so long as the cameras stayed on her, and eyeing the ball in the young trainer's hand, she knew where her refuge would lie. But first, to humor the human... she took a battle pose, allowing the trainer to gather her wits and make the first move.

Meanwhile, a stocky man wrapped in a trenchcoat was watching events unfold with narrow, spiteful eyes. They weren't directed toward Rosie, nor the production crew. Instead, they were drawn to Sableye, glowering toward the Pokemon as he stood back as part of the crowd. With so much attention, and film evidence, there was little he could do about the little escapist bastard. But too much attention may lead to questions... and questions weren't ideal. "I'm not paid enough for this shit," he sighed, turning away to make sure that any evidence of his less than legal work was gone from its current location, he couldn't have the Sableye lead anyone to it...

Sableye twitched her head as Samantha charged, and her eyes glowed as she appraised her foe. Instead of jumping away and risking getting too far from the makeshift battle area, she instead spread her legs into a supporting stance and moved to meet the Snubbull as she attacked. She didn't even ready an attack to counter, opting to take the blow and feeling the icy jaws clamp down and deal out a decent amount of damage before the dark ghost type could wriggle free from the teeth's grasp.

Rolling back onto her feet, Sableye had taken the attack to help gauge her foe's strength. Her ultimate goal was to be captured in the end, but she did love a good battle. A white glow surrounded her body, and as it dissipated, so did the fatigue that showed on her face and the ice crystals that clung to her shoulder. A Recover to help even the odds and take away some of the damage caused by the free attack. She was ready to take the offensive. Dashing forward, Sableye's own clawed hands began to sheen and sharpen. She slashed out toward Samantha, attempting a Scratch attack.

After landing a successful Scratch, Sableye was too close to the opposing Snubbull to hope of dodging in time, so she instead twisted her body while balancing on one leg in order to slightly fall forward and take the blunt of the impact on her shoulder where there would be less strain. She suddenly stiffed in surprise as the electricity crackled through her body, causing her knees to buckle and resonating electricity travel as static across her arms and legs. Every movement was strained, and the paralysis was obvious. Her head twitched to the side as she contemplated her next move. Psychic energy built up over the Sableye's skull, and she drudged toward Samantha, greatly slowed due to the Paralysis. She was attempting a Zen Headbutt, but the attack lacked much force to it.

Sableye was in a bind. She wasn't entirely prideful, but throwing the match would hurt her ego... but using Recover until she either wore herself out or slowly damage her foe was risky. Too much time stalling could cause the crowd to fade... to give the man a chance to catch her once more. She could build her ego back another day. Samantha's Ice Fang landed almost too easily as the paralyzed ghost made little move to dodge it or heal before-hand. After the attack, she struggled to keep to her feet, twitching, as the paralysis took its hold, making her as mobile as a statue as the electricity coursed through her body and she couldn't attack. It was an extremely lucky match for Rosie, especially for her first documented, even if the match was unknowingly thrown in her favor before it even began.

Sableye shuddered after the Paralysis again caused her body to clench up and stumble, making the Snubbull have an ample opportunity to lash out with her icy fangs once again. As the cold attack sapped the last of Sableye's strengths, she conceded defeat. Of course, she knew it would end this way. She had ample opportunity to recover and come back victorious or even turn 'tail' and run, but she'd get the attention of this trainer and the camera people through any means necessary, even her own capture. The Luxury Ball hit her square on and she made no attempts to get out of its way. In a flash of white, she was sucked inside and the orb began shaking. After three small twitches, it stilled and with a resonating 'ding' it showed that the young girl's capture had been a successful one.

Congrats, Sableye was caught! Would you like to give her a nickname?
