"I don't even know what 'it' is!" Sherry shot back, glad that Yuuka held it at bay before she did something rash. "Come to think of it..."
The agent talked down her Taillow and urged her to stay back for a moment as she reached for her pokedex. Flipping through the files of regional pokemon and type listings, Sherry pointed the encyclopedia at the yellow tick pokemon and scanned it with her device. The red machine beeped and trilled before giving up the valuable information on the creature.
"It says here that this is a Joltik, an Attaching Pokemon. It clings to larger Pokemon to absorb the static electricity they give off." Sherry arched a brow. "Just electricity? I figured this was a parasite, but now that I see it, it's... kinda cute, I'll admit that." Sherry deposited her Pokedex and extended her hand to the Joltik. "You're a friendly little thing, aren't you? Sorry for my reaction; I'm not used to... Well, I'm a little jumpy I guess."

The Joltik squirmed his way out of Yuuka's grip and crawled towards Sherry. Once he got to his destination, he climbed up Sherry's legs and then towards her arm.
"Hey, what are you doing? Come back." Yuuka tried to peel Joltik away, but the Joltik held on close to Sherry, so close that Yuuka couldn't pry him away. The sight of a tiny little spider hugging Sherry's arm was absolutely adorable.
"I think he took a liking to you." Yuuka snickered. "You wanna catch that?"

Sherry gave her arm a few test shakes before coming to the conclusion that the Joltik wasn't going anywhere. She wasn't the biggest fan of bugs, seeing as they were widely used as BOWs, but this one was cute. Plus, it was listed as an electric type, and that made Sherry curious. How could something so tiny pack a punch like an electric shock? Either way, it was a valuable asset and a welcome partner.
"Catch it? Sure thing."
The agent reached into her pouch for a spare Pokeball and held it up to the Joltik. While she figured she could have let it follow them along, catching a Pokemon in a ball allowed it to be registered to the trainer. Plus, moves, gender, and nature could be discerned as well when caught.
"What do you say little guy? Want to come along with me?" Sherry asked.

"Skree skree?" Joltik tapped the Pokeball, which was bigger than the Joltik itself, with curious screeches.
"You can really get stronger if you come with us." Yuuka said to the little Joltik. The Joltik thought about this. He wanted to get stronger... And bigger. If he was to do so, he needed a trainer's help.
"Skree!" Joltik screeched happily as he admitted himself to the Pokeball.
Gotcha! Wild Joltik was caught!
Would you like to give nickname to this Joltik?

That was easy, Sherry thought with a grin. As long as she kept up on her word and treated her Pokemon with respect, catching rates would skyrocket. Still, there were the proud types that wouldn't go down without a fight, like Claire, so it was best to stay on one's toes. The agent felt the Pokeball fill with weight and released her hold on the device after it finished rumbling. She released her Joltik and placed it on her shoulder where she could give it an affectionate rub.
"Let's see... What should your nickname be?" Sherry pondered on this for some time before a spark of realization hit her. "I got it! You're a bug Pokemon, and a male, no less. I'm going to call you Gregor."
Oh, Sherry thought she was clever on that one.

"Aw, welcome party's over," Sherry whined as she gave Gregor a few more pats on the back. "We should keep moving."
An electric type Pokemon was a nice addition to the team, and given the paralyzing nature of those types, attacking large and fast Pokemon would be a little easier. In fact, Sherry already had ideas for tandem moves that Mac or Claire could capitalize on. Slowing a target down allowed for more powerful moves to be used, and when more powerful moves were used, the fight ended quicker. Sherry would have to test her little Joltik in combat before she made any long-term plans, however.
"Claire, Gregor is our friend, not food," Sherry scolded as the Taillow sulked on her trainer's other shoulder.
Gregor aspired to remain out of Claire's sight for the time being, and that resulted in the Joltik crawling over Sherry's body to get to a hidden position. In the end, Gregor took a position in an empty front pocket where he felt comfortable to poke his little head out.
"Well, looks like that's Captain Briney's hut in the distance," Sherry said as she pointed to the south.

"Yup, there he is." Yuuka pointed at the old man who was tending to his garden. His Wingull, perched on top of a wooden post, cried loudly at the arrival of Yuuka and Sherry. Captain Briney, standing upright to see what the commotion is about, waved at Sherry and Yuuka. "Let's go give him the good news."

Sherry stepped up onto Briney's open wooden porch and advanced upon the old man with a smile. He seemed happy to see the two young women again instead of amazed that they were still alive. Perhaps he had an inkling that the two would succeed. Somehow, a lot of seniors had premonitions.
"Captain Briney? We've got your flag back from Rustboro." Sherry folded her arms and chuckled. "Those Team Anarchy grunts won't be stealing from you again."

"You cannot imagine how important this is for Peeko and I." Captain Briney held the flag on his hands. "Peeko, they did it! They got our flags back!"
"Peeyo!" Peeko the Wingull shrilled with joy as she flew around the cottage.
"So... Can you take us to Dewford?" Yuuka asked.
"Dewford?" Captain Briney's mouth widened. "For you two, I'll go out to sea any day! I just need a few hours to prepare, but I promise, we'll leave for Dewford by 8. If you're lucky and the sea is calm, you could reach Dewford by midnight."
