They both made their way deeper into the National Park. “At least I can enjoy walking around the park.” “This is going to be so much fun,” Jonathan said.
“So what Pokémon do you want to register?” The man asked.Īfter signing a form acknowledging they would follow all the rules, they were given there Sport Balls and sent out into Johto National Park. After the contest ended, all unused Sport Balls would have to be returned. The winner would receive a prize for winning and all participates could then keep the Pokémon they caught or release it. Then the captured Pokémon would be judged on size, power, and rarity. They had to register one Pokémon to assist them in capturing the Bug-Type Pokémon. They could only use these special balls to catch the Bug-Type Pokémon in Johto National Park and the contest would end in approximately two hours. The man explained all the official rules to both Jonathan and Beatrice and handed them both ten Sport Balls. “Yeah I hear that a lot,” The man grumbled to himself. “Wouldn’t Park Balls make more sense?” Jonathan asked. And we use special Pokéballs here in the park called Sport Balls,” The man explained.
Participates can either release the Pokémon back into the park or add them to their party. “Actually each participate can only catch one Pokémon for judging at the end of the event. You might as well tag along and catch a Pokémon or two.” “We’d both like to participate,” Jonathan said. Jonathan turned towards Beatrice and then back to the man. “Excellent! Are you two interested in participating?” The man asked. We read the flyer outside,” Jonathan said. “Have you two heard about the Bug-Catching Contest we are having today in Johto National Park?” Jonathan and Beatrice walked into the building where they were greeted by a gentleman wearing what looked like a safari outfit. It’s likely that is Silver’s location,” Beatrice said. “But after you catch your Pokémon or whatever, we need to quickly head to Ecruteak City. We can do this stupid Bug-Catching Contest,” Beatrice said with a grimace. “Are Bug-Type Pokémon good against Ghost-Type Pokémon?” Beatrice asked. A Scyther might really come in handy in the next city.” “Plus I can’t keep on relying on Pokémon evolution to help me win. “Obviously I still have the Egg, but it can’t battle,” Jonathan said. Jonathan glanced back at his backpack which held the Pokémon Egg. “And you have that Egg that Professor Elm gave you,” Beatrice noted. Bugsy had one and it was a great in battle. “This might be my chance to catch a Scyther. However Jonathan stopped and saw a sign posted for a “Bug-Catching Contest” and immediately wanted to join the contest. When they were in Goldenrod City, Gym Leader Whitney had told Jonathan to head this way to get to Ecruteak City in order to battle the Ghost-type Gym Leader, Morty. Jonathan and Beatrice stood outside the entrance to the Johto National Park after Jonathan had battled his way up Route 35 towards Ecruteak City. There’s no way I’m going to join a Bug catching contest.” Beatrice said.
