       with the pokémon, but he didn’t make any claims on it;
       performance anxiety maybe, wot with all the watching eyes.

+  There were still a few pokémon local to the Wedgehurst area that I
+    hadn’t yet made a pokédex record for, so I decided to try to find
+    them before setting out.
+  Purrloin wasn’t too hard to find, but Hoothoot sure is rare!
+  To give a sense for how long it took, several of the bug pokémon I
+    had under observation had already evolved by the time I found one.
+  It was several trips to the Pokémon Centre because my party just kept
+    getting worn out!
+
+  On a more positive note, while hunting through the tall grasses of
+    Route 2 I managed to befriend an incredibly shy Yamper—it fetches
+    my pokéballs for me when I miss.
+  I named it Ballecherche, which is a pun on the Kalosian _aller
+    chercher une balle_{as=i lang=fr}, meaning “to fetch a ball”.
