# Inside the function 'pdex' you created use the python module 'requests' to call a RESTful API.
# using the 'requests' module, create an object called 'pokemon'
# 'pokemon' will perform a 'get' request.

# the parameter of the pdex function
# the function 'pdex' return the result of 'pokemon' as json

# In 'main()' below try and call 'pdex' passing the variable 'water'
# write in a way that can handle any error you may encounter while executing the call to the API
# you may print the result out

    # add each result to the dictionary 'pdict' as key, value pairs.
    # the key is each item in 'ptypes' and the value is the returned result from 'pdex',
    # just to remind you the results of pdex will filtered by 'name' and will be of type string.
