If there are any kids- both big and small- who don't want to be alone right now, I'm making hot chocolate and blanket forts in the dining room.

Also, bring a blanket.

All the more reason to nab it then, the only one like it in the world...

"How do they usually be working?"

"Well, for one, you have to weaken the pokemon," Eva says matter of factly. "Two, it's not as simple as that. The 'balls can fail for any number of reasons, and also because wild pokemon will almost always flee a battle after a certain point, so you can find a rare pokemon and still fail to catch it because it ran."

And that's not even getting into the tactics poachers or criminals used. "I got lucky because I had the masterball."

"Weaken them? So you do be beating them up first?" She tilted her head, "So you do be needing to be beating them up so they can no be running away, but can still be recovering to be fighting for you?"

Or the balls wouldn't work. Unless its the masterball. "So you could no be beating the pokemon down enough, so it would be eating you? But you did be catching it instead even though you did no be weakening it? It do be sounding that it did be being a good thing that you did be stealing that ball."

"Yeah, pretty much," Eva says with a resigned smile- and then there's a blink as she parses the end.

Excuse her while she boggles just a bit.

"I... I guess?"

"Yes." She nodded, "If you did no be doing so you would be being dead. Then you could..." She paused, thought for a moment. Tried to think like Eva. It was hard. "You could no be helping people. If you did be being dead."

That should get the message home.
