Many real-world months after finishing [[Pokémon Gold]], I was walking by [[Route 28]], likely to train a few Pokémon so that they could enter the [[Johto League|Pokémon League]]. I came across a beautiful alternate-colored {{p|Poliwhirl}} while surfing on one of the ponds. I was nervous as this was the very first alternate-colored Pokémon I had ever found in the wild, not counting the [[Red Gyarados]]. If I'm not mistaken, I used a [[Status#Paralysis|paralyzing]] move and a [[Great Ball]]. I loved this catch! Since I already had a {{p|Politoed}} in my team (another of my favorite Pokémon), even though Politoed's alternate coloration appeals a lot to me, I decided to give [[Protein]] and [[Iron]] to this new friend of mine, I gave it [[Physical move|Physical-based moves]], and used a [[Water Stone]] on it. | Many real-world months after finishing [[Pokémon Gold]], I was walking by [[Route 28]], likely to train a few Pokémon so that they could enter the [[Johto League|Pokémon League]].

Not only was Poliwhirl known as [[Satoshi Tajiri|Tajiri]]'s favorite Pokémon<sup>[citation needed]</sup> at that time, but also Poliwrath was very reminiscent of the creature I once drew when I was a teenager, so this was a very special Pokémon to me. Fighting type matches my character as much as the short and defying appearance of Poliwrath. I nicknamed it '''Brincon''', which is a Spanish word for "bully" or "trouble seeker". | Not only was Poliwhirl known as [[Satoshi Tajiri|Tajiri]]'s favorite Pokémon<sup>[citation needed]</sup> at that time, but also Poliwrath was very reminiscent of the creature I once drew when I was a teenager, so this was a very special Pokémon to me.
