Oz heard a scuffle nearby. When he spun around to see what was going on something took off disappearing towards the river. It left behind another creature staring blankly at Oz from the underbrush. Oz nearly had a heart attack when he saw what it was though. "Oh gosh!" he gasped, trying to calm himself. A bug! He knew he needed to be catching these for research purposes. Perhaps if he simply used a research ball. Then he could turn it in without having to keep it with him very long. Yeah, that's what he'd do! For sure! He'd catch it and turn it in! He took a deep breath and threw the ball right away! It whirled through the air and bounced off the Nauwillian wurmple. A light surrounded it and it went inside the ball. It jiggled a few times, but success! He caught it! Tsubaki yipped happily and Iggy kept chirping excitedly. They were proud to see Oz face his fears and throw that pokeball! Oz triumphantly posed, and went to pick up the pokeball. But held it with the tips of his fingers like he was holding something icky. He really needed to get over this fear. Especially since this wild land of Nauwill probably had tons of them. He almost wondered if he should maybe catch one in a regular pokeball and keep it just to get over the problem. If he spent more time with them surely they'd come to get along right?
....Nahhhh. He tossed that thought aside for now and kept walking with his other pokemon.
