As Leo ran away from the wild Pokemon all around, only one of them would be persistent enough to chase him would be a hungry looking Croagunk with a bad case of Dry Skin. It was unlikely to give up anytime soon no matter how far Leo ran and if he didn't stop soon the wild Croagunk was going to attack.

After Jack made his way through the trees he would find himself on a path to Amalgam University as indicated by a nearby sign. A few people were gathered in a loose crowd as they watched a wild Pokemon battle happening. A Cubone was skillfully dodging around a trainer's Pikachu avoiding all of its attacks with ease. At one point the Pikachu let loose a Thunderbolt and the electricity arced directly towards the Cubone's bone as she held it proudly in the air.

One more Bone Club later and the Pikachu was down, it's trainer laying down some berries to appease the Cubone. It looked like it was accepting challengers in exchange for food if they lost. And it looked like it was accepting one more challenger for the day.
