An American soldier has become a viral sensation after taking a rest from battling ISIS in Iraq to try and catch a few Pokemon.
Louis Park, 26, spends his days fighting extremists alongside the Kurdish Peshmerga.
But he decided to set down his machine gun and take an astonishing picture showing the moment he snared a “Squirtle”.
The picture then surged across social media, with thousands of people sharing it across the world.
He is just one of millions of people who is hooked on the augmented reality game, which allows players to hunt Pokemon in real world locations using their smartphone.
“Just caught my first Pokemon on the Mosul front line by Teleskuf,” he wrote.
“Daesh, come challenge me to a Pokemon battle. Mortars are for pussies.”
Park is just one of millions of people who have become addicted to the smartphone game, which is expected to be released in Britain in the coming days.
He admitted to being a “huge fan” of the gaming franchise, which is one of the gaming giant Nintendo’s most successful inventions.
The soldier is currently stationed in Dohuk, a town with a population of about 350,000 in Kurdistan, Northern Iraq.
He’s living about one hour from the frontline and claimed life was pretty dull until Pokemon Go came along.
“Most of the days are boring,” Park told The Verge.
“You kind of sit there and you guard your post and stand by in case anything happens. [ISIS] shoot mortars just about every other day, but we’ve only had a couple of actual attacks.
