As if Team Rocket themselves have just blasted off with your prize possession.

ONE footprint?! It is only 10 metres away from you! Ohhhhh it's about to get insanely tense, let's hope you're a Weedle fan, because that's literally ALL we find.
And if there are no footprints at all, he's about ready to pop up on your screen.
It has all come down to this moment, you've got this, we believe in you.
