Okay so this is a VERY short story idea brought on from a conversation with some friends... yeah I could make this an actual series but... well I've already got a lot of other stories already and I just don't have time to make this a full story just yet (or even an idea to continue and actually make it a longer one) But if this inspires any of you out there, knock yourselves out and give it a try

Disclaimer: FMA and Pokemon are not either of my creations or idea

Hey and welcome to the guide on how to catch the ever elusive Ling. Though word of warning, if you have an Ed or an Envy or both (Though quite honestly that's a bad idea in itself to do, seriously why the hell would you even do that? The Alchem-dex clearly states they are natural enemies and your own health would be at rick with both on the same team!). There are only two ways to obtain one, either catch a Greed around the town of Dublith (easiest way is to leave a little bit of money out or have a chimera type with you) then level it up on a full stomach and ONLY a full stomach or find it in the safari zone near Rush Valley.

Since this is going to be mostly about how to catch the Ling we'll just talk about how hard it is to actually find one in the safari zone. The odds of encountering one without a Lan Fan wanting to kill you for even thinking of taking the Ling or throwing a rock at one is about… 3% chance. The chances of one with a Lan Fan are about 19% seeing as their not as common. Trust me when saying this, your going to have to catch the Lan Fan first before the Ling… and that's only if there's no Fu there, because if there is it's going to get ten times harder.

Now lets say you have encountered a lone Ling the sure fire way is to throw bait to it. That will actually cause the Ling to start following you just to get more. Seriously that's all you have to do… however this is the advice for if you have and Ed or Envy with you while trying to catch one. Seriously before I begin that is a terrible idea in itself to even have one on your team before catching one!

If you have an Ed or it's fully evolved form Fullmetal on your team and you encounter a Ling, your Ed/Fullmetal will go into an instant rage like it would if it encounters an Envy or if it hears the word Small. The alchemist type alchemymon will chase the prince type all around while ranting at it. That's usually on the first encounter though so thankfully after keeping them on the same team for a little while the Ed/Fullmetal will calm down around the Ling and be able to tolerate it's presence.

If you have any of the Envy evolutions though, well good luck to you because that little bugger is the hardest to train, form friendships with and keep from attempting to kill either you or your other alchemymon in their sleep. The Envy will be the one that will attempt to fight or kill your Ling the most considering it's prior evolution being Greed and it's fully evolved form being Greedling (Use a Philosphers Stone you buy in Central Underground Deparment Store) both being a natural rival to the Envy.

Well that's all you need to know about trying to catch your very own Ling… now excuse me while I attempt to break up a fight between my second stage Envy and Fullmetal…. and also stop my Ling from stealing that other trainers food again!

Hope you all Enjoyed it, please Review (also you can find this on my tumblr nyacat39 as well if you want to look me up)
