Gotta Catch 'Em All!

Night has fallen, and the weather is clear and calm; the setting is perfect.
It crouches, nestled within a hedge along the sidewalk.
Though It had eaten recently, hunger pangs tore at Its stomach, so It waited for the first opportunity to pounce.
Footsteps approched.
"Whoa!" a girl said eagerly to her friend, as they stared at their cellphones. "There's an Articuno by that hedge!"
Both girls rushed toward the hedge, chattering excitedly.
Its attention was completely on Its approaching prey; saliva gathering in Its gaping maw.
It sprung as both girls swiped their screens to catch the legendary Articuno.
