His trip to Oreburgh was shockingly uneventful. Normal trainers greeted him wherever he went- asked for battles, handed over prize money, and thought nothing of him. He even picked up a Poketch in Jubilife just to add to the guise...
What few new recruits he could find weren't sufficient for what he had in mind. Two mon who couldn't attack, another that got him mobbed by wildlife? No thank you. All three soon went to the dogs. The only exception was a Croagunk, stolen from a position at the desk of the Poketch company, who helped carry the team through the mines and got on well with its members...
...but he lost her to a feral Stunky who'd taken up residence on Route 207.
Despite this, Percival took on the gym leader with his team and won. He didn't let the loss of a promising member get to him. He could always contact HQ for another Croagunk, anyways.
