My newly caught buddy!

I started my Pokémon GO adventure as soon as it was available last year.  Keep in mind, my three favorite Pokémon are: Alakazam, Gengar and Mr. Mime, in that order. Obviously my goal was to obtain these Pokémon.
Abra, that extremely evasive Pokémon, has tested my patience throughout my entire adventure.  In GO, when I see "fled", I can't help but to think: "Yeah right, you mean Teleported."  

Anyway, after losing interest in the game, I ultimately ended up deleting it from my phone several months ago; the appeal faded.  Long walks, late night outings, organizing my time to in a way to play a game, an app, was getting ridiculous.  I vaguely remember buying lures and incubators, too!  

Pokémon GO's anniversary came around, I re-downloaded it.  Thanks to @theSLAYER for reminding me that my account information would still be in place.

Being that Mr. Mime is a lost cause for me, harvesting those Gastly and Abra candies in order to obtain Alakazam and Gengar was still on my bucket list.  I currently have a Kadabra and a Haunter.  I've actually had them since before my re-installation of the App!  

Anyway, to my surprise, an Alakazam spawned right beside me last night!  Low on berries, Great Balls and with only one Ultra Ball to my name, my excitement quickly turned into anxiety as I stared into this beast's digital eyes.  With a Gold Razz Berry in effect, I threw my Ultra Ball with a spin; It connected with a "Great!" toss.   Wiggle... Wiggle... Slow Wiggle... "Gotcha!"
