With another nod, and a grin, Henrietta strode out into the room and looked up at the Zubats. "Hey!" She called up at them, mercifully for the bats maybe, not quite as loud as she might outside. "Which of you wants to take on me and Gummy?!" Said Totodile was not as quick as his trainer and came waddling on out after her as she announced him. "I bet he can beat any of you! If you put up a good battle though, you can come and travel with us!"
She stood, in anticipation, for a moment, while nothing happened... And then one of the smaller bats seemed to flutter in place for a moment, and then made a pass, as though inspecting the humans (and Totodile).
Gummy stood impassively staring at the throng of flying pokémon above.

As soon as the Zubat passed overhead in such a way, Henrietta's eyes were rooted to it, watching as it fluttered and turned. "Alright! Awesome!" She grinned, seeing that it was coming back. A challenger then. "Gummy! Give it a Water Gun!" She called, watching as the bat pokémon angled for them, coming down to aim a Supersonic as Gummy waddled out into battle.
The Totodile delivered a random spray of a water gun, sending splashes of water from his mouth into the Zubat's path, as the confusing sounds cut through the cave toward him.
Henrietta, perhaps a little prematurely, had already pulled a pokéball out ready. She glanced back at Ray, seeing the Zubat land with her, grinned, and then refocused on the battle; despite never catching a pokémon before, the girl looked like she was confident, if slightly impatient, about it.

It was pure luck rather than any planning or skill (it certainly wasn't power) that the Zubat found itself zipping into the water. Shapes were suddenly all around; wet spheres that clung to its fur, but -worse- made it hard to 'see' the shapes it needed. The blurry outline of the Totodile was coming up far too fast- the water had disrupted its ultrasonic waves enough to put the bat on a collision course with the water type. It thought fast and came up with Astonish. The Zubat, then, did nothing to correct its course, sending itself, eerie shadows extending themselves beneath its wings, toward the Totodile's face.
"Gummy! Quick! Use another Water Gun!" The young trainer called, a little frantically; the two pokémon were about to collide, and this was the first time she'd ever tried to actually catch a pokémon: she worried how she was doing; did she look cool? Was it going well?
Gummy let loose with a, mercifully, slightly more powerful spray of water as the bat's attack hit him and knocked him back. Had she known what the attack had been, Henrietta might have been relieved he didn't flinch. Staggering back, but still unsteadily upright, Gummy's spray drenched the bat, splashing it onto the ground, where it flapped awkwardly and struggled clumsily upright. There hadn't been too many turns, but Henrietta was, perhaps, a little rash or impatient about the process; the ball she'd bought left her hand suddenly in a blur of yellow and blue as she judged, for some reason, that this would be a good time to see if the Zubat would stay inside.
"Come ooooonnnn...." She half-muttered, half-whined, a lot less loudly than her usual volume as she watched the ball rock. She glanced back at Ray once, maybe looking for some sign of how she thought it was going again, before returning her gaze to the ball, in time to see the light go out, and a slight noise sound, confirming the catch.

Henrietta gasped slightly then nodded firmly, enthusiastically- one of the most quiet, excitement-based, reactions she'd had yet.
The girl fiddled with the ball, working the button and then bouncing up and down on her heels a little as the pokémon appeared in the gloom of the cave, in front of her and Gummy. The Totodile looked at the Zubat with his usual slow blink, then greeted her by slowly opening and closing his mouth.
"Hi! So! I'm Henrietta, and this is Gummy, and we're your team now! And that's Ray!" Henrietta pointed back at the woman, then frowned to herself "But you already know her and stuff... Uh." She looked back at Ray. "I think I have a name!" Then back at the Zubat to tell her the same thing. "I think I have a name!"
The Zubat twitched her ears and waited patiently... then shook her head at the first suggestion.
"Lightning Bolt! 'Cuz you fly fast! Nope? Aw... Uh. Wings? Winglet? One of those could be cool..." She turned to Ray again. "Are pokémon always like this about their name? 'Cuz I wanna give her a really good one, but she didn't like 'Lightning Bolt'..."
