Shiranui had found a Larvitar resting after a meal. "Larvitar, the Rock Skin Pokémon. It feeds on soil. After it has eaten a large mountain, it falls asleep so it can grow."
"Sapphire, Night Shade!" Out came Shiranui's Sableye and she promptly fired a shadowy version of Ice Beam from her crystal eyes. Larvitar got hit and tried to use Chip Away, but Sapphire phased through the attack. "Sapphire, Fury Swipes!" The Sableye unleashed a series of swipes at Larvitar that left it a little exhausted. Larvitar tried Bite and that only had a normal effect on Sapphre. "Poké Ball, go!" Shiranui threw a Poké Ball at Larvitar and it was drawn in. He waited a while as the ball shook until it pinged, signalling its capture. After he named his newest friend Yamamoto, Shiranui discovered the the Larvitar's Poké Ball still had a red light.
