The new pokemon had the whole lab baffled. Victor swore that he saw it, but no-one ever saw it again. Everyone was beginning to think that Victor had made it all up. Everyone except Chris. Chris had always believed that there were hundreds more pokemon out in the world, but just hadn't been discovered yet. So it was Chris who searched for the new pokemon every day. Each morning he got up and went looking for it. One morning, when everything seemed normal, Chris spotted something moving in the bushes.
Chris looked over at the rustling leaves and immediately something inside him told him that this was it - this was the new pokemon. Chris looked closer. Suddenly Chris saw a long tail appear out of the shrubs. Chris didn't recognize the tail. Just in case, he took out his pokedex.
'Pokemon cannot be identified,' it said.
'This is it,' thought Chris. 'This is the new pokemon!'
Chris reached into his pocket and pulled out his Master Ball. He took a deep breath, then stood up and threw the ball at the pokemon. The pink creature saw the ball coming, and instantly disappeared. Chris looked around. His master ball was lying empty on the ground.
'Damn!' he yelled. 'The master ball is supposed to catch any pokemon, no matter what!'
Chris suddenly realised that this creature wasn't just any pokemon.
