Soul Dex Complete!

Hey everyone! I have some positive news to share today, I finally completed my Soul Dex in Pokemon Go! For those of you who don't know, the Soul Dex is my term for a group of Pokemon I caught and name after close friends (Which is extra important since i'm graduating). The idea first came to me when I wanted to name a Persian after my deceased Girlfriend Kelsey, which I did in my own special way and it had the moves I wanted as well! Then, some more ones fell into place...

Kelsey= Persian
Dragonite=Taylor
Tyler (me) = Marowak
Clefable=Hanna
Persian (again) = Frost (a character Kelsey came up with)
Grandma = Granbul (My grandma liked this the most)

and last on the list and the hardest to get by far:

The Campus Minister Siobhan = Lapras

So if you don't know, this past week has been the Water Festival in Pokemon Go, and I was hunting Lapras aggressively, since it was teased as the 'Prize pokemon of the event" (and shiny magikarp) since I didn't have one yet. Since I got an unusual 10k from a stop that usually doesn't give them, I thought it might be Lapras since it hatches from 10ks (Spoiler, it was a dratini). So I got the idea to shave my eggs down as much as I could for more 10k egg chances. So I did, opening 6 spaces. While on the Bus ride into school today, trying to ensure I got a full load of eggs, near my usual stop, there is a bigger university and I saw the outline of Lapras at one of the stops. So I waited until the bus came to its stop 2 blocks down, at the stop next to where I normally get off, and rushed back to where the Lapras was. Thankfully, it was still there so I ran to it. When i got to the stop, I got the "Pokemon has fled" Message and my heart sank, although I knew this was either a glitch due to a new loading glitch, or I had 1min 30sec until despawn. Thankfully, it appeared 10 seconds later and I grabbed it instantly! First, I took a pic of it, then I threw a razzberry and Ultra balls (a few missed) but then I hit it with a Great Throw! Then I counted as it wiggled "1...2...3! YES!" and then I had done it, I had caught it! My celebration drew the attention of another guy dressed similarly to me. "Did you catch the Lapras?" he said. Then we talked about how great it was to start our days with our first Laprases ever! I took some pictures and then left, getting to class 10 minutes early and out of breath from the insane run down. (I came back to the spot later that day to take some additional pics to document the area for possible future use and for memory). 

After the classes, I went to see Siobhan so she could personally enter her name as the Lapras, and she was very honored I searched for months and tried so hard to get this to have a memory of her. "Its not like naming a pet after me, but its close." she said. It really made me happy to know that I made her day, and her month! She was so excited to tell her family about this! My day was very, very good after that! It was also a very beautiful day!

Now, for the record there are some extra pokemon named after characters and people and they are kinda like the "honorable mentions" of the Soul Dex. They are:

Lissette = Sneasel
The Catholic Father whom I became friends with = Togetic (Eventually, since it's not going to happen for a very long time since I'm going to walk Chicorita next for my Meganium from HeartGold, my first Pokemon game)

Also, Technically I don't have Granbul since I want my Grandma to be the one to evolve it, so it will be complete when I see her, which may be awhile, but I have more than enough candies to do so, so Lapras was the final obstacle. 

Also, I met up with this girl who I met previulsly who likes Pokemon Go as much as I do on the bus yesterday. After she got off, I hatched a Togepi (my first) and i'm sure that was a sign of good luck for today's big Lapras catch! 

BTW: My Lapras is 1325 cp, 157 hp and Watergun/Blizzard with pretty good IVs. The only small flaw is Siobhan is female while the Lapras is male, but it really dosen't matter. 

Anyway, thats all for now! I hope you all enjoyed reading my latest update in my Pokemon Go adventure! 

EDIT: April 9 2017: Well, I got my Grandma to evolve the Granbull, so now its officially done and I can enjoy my victory! I'm still pumped about getting Lapras! It feels like winning the lottery!
