Once Weavile regained its footing, it charged at Murkrow. The badly wounded Murkrow was sent flying again, blood splattering across the ground.
Seeing this, Ye Ling gave no further orders. Instead, she took out an empty Poké Ball and threw it at Murkrow.
The Poké Ball struck Murkrow squarely, then drew it inside in a flash of red light.
The accuracy of Poké Ball throws in the anime might seem exaggerated, but for Xiao Ran and the others, throwing Poké Balls had been a required course since middle school. Even in university, they still practiced constantly.
Every one of them could have passed for Li Xunhuan, never missing a shot. Most of the time, though, that accuracy only applied to Poké Balls or other spherical objects.
The indicator kept flashing as Murkrow struggled inside the ball. Its resistance did not last long, however. Soon, the light went out, and the Poké Ball fell still.
"Congratulations! You caught Murkrow!" Xiao Ran walked over with a smile.
Ye Ling had a reserved personality and simply picked up the Poké Ball without a fuss. He had been hoping to hear her shout something cheesy like they did in the anime.
Too bad that was just wishful thinking... Xiao Ran thought, looking disappointed.
"Let's hurry back and have one of the Healing-type students treat its injuries," Xie Shirui said once the show was over. She had initially thought it would be a Ghost-type Pokémon, only for it to turn out to be a Dark-type.
Still, this battle had given her a new understanding of Ye Ling's strength. With a late Entry Class Weavile at her disposal, Ye Ling clearly had not gone all out in their previous battle. Otherwise, she would never have sent out a Froakie that had not even reached Entry Class.
