    let client: Client = Client()
    private let baseURL: String = "https://pokeapi.co/api/v2"

    func getPokemon(id: Int) async throws -> (Pokemon, URLResponse) {
        return try await client
            .get("\(self.baseURL)/pokemon/\(id)")
            .headers(
                headers: [
                    Header(key: Header.Key.accept, value: Header.Value.mediaType(.applicationJSON)),
                ]
            )
            .send()
    }
