Exploring the Volcano


Today, I started taking pictures with my first trip to the volcano area. The trip started with several Rapidash running towards me. I wasn’t quite ready for this but I still managed to get a decent picture. Professor Oak really liked the pose I was able to capture of a Rapidash neighing. Next, I came across some Vulpix. I threw two of them some apples and was able to get a great capture of their happy dance. After I took pictures of the Vulpix I was stopped by a giant egg on the track. Rather than try and get by it right away, I took advantage of the stopped motion. There were two Charmander on the side of the track, so I threw them some apples. They quickly called over more Charmander and I was able to get a shot with seven of them in the picture! Once I was satisfied with my shot, I threw an apple at the egg in hopes that it would move. I was right- it rolled right into the lava and Moltres hatched out of it. I was able to capture what Professor Oak deemed “a wonderful pose!” of Moltres spreading its wings for the first time. Next, I threw apples in between two Magmar hoping that something would happen like with the Charmander. Turns out that Magmar are not as nice as Charmander, and rather than calling their friends they decided to fight over the food. I snapped a shot of one torching the other with its breath- a pose Professor Oak loved and called “fighting Magma.” The only problem with this shot was that it wasn’t in the middle of the frame- there was one Magmar on either side. I thought it was a nicely composed shot, but Professor Oak is set in his ways about how he wants the pictures composed for the Pokemon Report. The last pokemon I was able to capture was Charizard- what a lucky find! I actually was just throwing Charmelon some food but I hit him in the head and knocked him into a pool of lava, where he transformed into Charizard!
Professor Oak says I’ll find out what the next course is when I take a picture of one more type of Pokemon.
