“Let's go. Caterpie.” Satoshi brandished the Monster Ball and threw it with all his strength. The moment the ball hit the Caterpie... A bright light erupted from the ball and encapsulated Caterpie's body. The next moment, while Caterpie's body was still bathed in light, it was sucked inside the Monster Ball. And so, in the spot where Caterpie once stood, only a Monster Ball was rolling on the ground, rattling as it shook. If the capture were to fail, a flash of light would re-emerge from the ball, with Caterpie leaping out. Satoshi kept a close eye on the status of the Monster Ball. How long did it last for... In reality it was only a matter of seconds, but to Satoshi it felt like hours... The Monster Ball stopped moving. “Gotcha... I did get it, right?” He asked Kasumi. “It's obvious just looking at it.” “So I really got it.” He asked Pikachu. Pikachu nodded. Satoshi's body began to tremble. He couldn't stop himself. His first capture... The grand first step of Trainer Satoshi. “Caterpie! Gotcha!” Satoshi picked up the Monster Ball and posed holding it high above his head. “Gotcha!” “Gotcha!” “Gotcha!” The words came from his mouth naturally. The pose also suited him perfectly. It was a feeling of pure achievement, his true emotions showed themselves in their own style. The style that suits me best... It's just as mom said. “Gotcha! I did it!” While he could have just left it at that, he continued with a dance of joy. “You did it! Satoshi-kun. You're so cool! Satoshi-kun. Caterpie may be small, but for Satoshi-kun of Masara Elementary, this is the first step on the path to greatness!” He continued by standing to attention and singing the school anthem. Even though at school he always ended up humming and had never actually sung the whole song properly.
