One morning over breakfast, fellow Pokemon trainers and good friends, Ash and Brock decided to embark on a 3-day expedition to see how many different Pokemon they could catch. As agreed, Ash would trek north and Brock would trek west each day. At the end of the 3 days, they would meet up at the nearest Pokemon Center and discuss their adventures and misadventures with fellow trainers.
At the start of Day 1, Ash started out heading
north from his home in search of Pokemon to collect. He quickly approached a Geodude which he was able to capture fairly quickly; howeverc as he was putting it in his pack, a Snorunt escaped from his collection. Frustrated, he then headed along his journey and managed to capture a Froslass and a
Pidgey, however when he got the Pidgey, a Furret escaped.
Brock headed west in his search for some Pokemon of his own, and also managed to quickly grab a Geodude, but when he did, both an Ivysaur and a Clefable escaped from his possession. He then continued his trek, and at the end of the day he managed to capture a Dewgong.
On the second day, Ash swiftly snatched up an Audino and a Vibrava, but unfortunately, he lost a
Durant along the way, and just as he caught his final Pokemon for the day, a Golduck, a Tyranitar escaped from his pack.
On that same day, Brock had a lot more action; he quickly grabbed a Pignite and an Armaldo within the
first hour, but then things turned for the worse. During his lunch break, both his Timburr and Mew escaped. He then rounded out the day by capturing an Umbreon shortly after losing his 3rd Pokemon of the day, a Snorunt.
On the third and final Day, Ash continued his trek north, and quickly hit the jackpot; he found a nice field and not only captured a Hoppip, but also both of it's evolutionary stages. He was feeling so good about himself ,that he let a Foongus and a Togekiss that he had go free. He then ended the day by capturing a Klinklang, a Glaceon, and a Swampert.
On Brock's final day, he quickly captured a Flygon which, while riding, aided in him moving more swiftly, but unfortunately as he was riding it, they hit some turbulence and he lost both his Spiritomb and his Snivy. He quickly got back on track grabbing a Shelmet, before hitting the western sea where he captured a Feraligatr and a Trubbish. At the end of the day, he then decided to release his Spearow.
After the end of the 3rd day they both met at the Pokemon Center, turned in their Pokemon to Nurse Joy for some rest and relaxation, and reflected back on their 3 days in the field and tallied the Pokemon that they added and subtracted from their collections for each day, and both agreed that they had grand adventures.

The final container is a tin about 7" by 5" by about 3.5" deep.
There is an unactivated tiki trackable for the FTF.
12/14/13 Update: The original container has gone missing, I replaced it with a Pelican case approximately the same size. You don't need to remove the case to open it but make sure that you close it and latch it. You can open it without it being upside down to prevent the contents from spilling.
