Jared cast his line on water. The Lake of Rage supposedly was famous for its Gyarados or something equally ferocious. He already seen them before, multiple times if he was to be frank, but it never ceased to be exciting every time he sees a Pokemon as large and powerful and flashy in front of him. With the said hopes in his head, he waited until a bite happened, pulling the rod with all his might and eventually getting the Pokemon out of the water.

A Psyduck was on the other end of the line. It landed sloppily on the wooden pier that served as a platform wherein Jared had been standing. It didn't react at first, with Garm finding enough time to approach it carefully to inspect the wild Pokemon. The red haired trainer did as well for a while, before he backed away as soon as the Psyduck started spewing water all around him. Water Sport, he figured.

"Can you go deal with it, dear Garm?" he affectionately ordered. "Lemme go get us some Gyara."

While Jared gave his rod another go into the water, aiming to fish one of the largest and more dangerous Pokemon in the Lake of Rage, his Electrike was left to somehow get the Psyduck away from them. It would have been easy to just zap away with his attacks, but the subconscious tells him not to in case Jared gets affected by it as well. He would have sighed if it was an appropriate time to do so.

Garm started of with a Quick Attack, barreling himself towards the Water-type. Just as the Psyduck stood up from its place after being forcefully pulled out of the water, it managed to stand its ground, albeit the hit managed to stun it for a while. Garm went in for a Bite as soon as he closed the distance, fangs latching onto the Psyduck's shoulder and forcing the Water-type to try to get the Electrike off of him with Confusion.

In the end, it couldn't handle the pain anymore and jumped back into the water, with Garm releasing his grip just before the Psyduck dove into the lake.

"Hey, Garm! Hey! Watch me this time, okay?"

The words suddenly came from Jared as soon as he felt a tug on his line. It wasn't as strong as the last one, which had a Psyduck that he had to reel in, but it was firm and brought a challenge to him. To be fair, lack of physical activities within the last few days made everything that required any semblance to a test of strength was a challenge, though that was something that he could remedy at least.

The Electrike came to watch his trainer as instructed, getting his face near the edge of the water in suspense of what was being reeled in. It was when his nose was about to touch the surface of the water that Jared gave one big tug coincidentally, bringing a Chinchou into the air. The little Water-type landed on its feet (fins?) on the dock's wooden flooring as soon as it got out of the water, turning to face both the trainer and his Electrike.

"Garm, I think I need him... her... whatever that Chinchou is."

The Electric-type grumbled at his trainer's statement, though his actions seemed to have betrayed his disapproval. Its feet was quick to move, finding himself in front of the Chinchou in a moment's notice and using the momentum to charge at the wild Pokemon before it could react. Only when the Electrike had hit it did it managed to get its attack off. A Water Gun pushed the Electrike away from him, creating a distance between them once again.

"Yeah, I think I need one more attack for this." Jared already got a Pokeball out, ready to capture the Chinchou in a more traditional way than he was used to.

Baring his fangs, Electrike rushed in to chomp on the Water-type's rather soft skin, forcing a jolt out of it from the pain it felt. A Pokemon such as Garm did not care much about it fortunately, making it easy for the Electrike to keep his hold with Bite and allowing Jared to easily aim his throw at the stationary target.
