Chapter 1.

Lilly Catches A Drifloon

Lilly the Moose was in the Sinnoh region with her Bakugan Guardian Subterra Premo Vulcan and Lumpy, she did have her Pokemon Spritzee, Lucario, Octillery & Noivern with her too but they were inside their Pokeballs.

"Okay, Lilly, you ready to learn how to catch a Pokémon?" Lumpy asked.

"Yes I am," said Lilly.

"Well, first, you have to find a Pokémon," Lumpy said, almost sounding like he was joking.

Lilly rolled her eyes and Vulcan just sat on Lilly's shoulder not looking amused.

"But then you have to use your own Pokémon to weaken it," Lumpy went on.

"Of course," said Lilly, "I've seen Ash do it with his Pikachu when he was catching Pidove."

Lumpy then looked around the area, thinking he had heard the sound of grass rustling or something, Lilly and Vulcan heard it too.

"What's that?" asked Vulcan.

They looked over to where they heard the noise and there came more grass rustling. Then they saw what looked like a little cloud floating around in the grass.

The little cloud had a spherical, purple body with two stringy arms that had yellow, heart-shaped hands on the ends of them, at the base of its body was a frayed protrusion that resembled the tied end of a balloon, in the in the very centre of its body is a yellow tape-like "X", which contained a small mouth in the very centre and a white mass of fluff that resembled a cloud sat on top of its head.

"That's odd..." Lumpy said to himself.

"What Pokemon is that, Uncle Lumpy?" asked Lilly.

"I... don't know," said Lumpy. "I might need to check the Pokedex."

Lumpy reached reached into his Pokédex and opened it up. It displayed a picture of the cloud and spoke:

"Drifloon, the Balloon Pokémon. Drifloon is filled with air and can either expand or shrink to express its feelings. It also likes damp weather."

"Hmm... Well, if you want one of those, Lilly, you'll have to attack it with one of your Pokémon," Lumpy stated.

"Yes I will!" said Lilly, "That Drifloon will be perfect for my Pokémon Team!"

She pulled out one of her Pokeballs and pressed the button, causing it to grow to its normal size. Then she threw it.

"Octillery! Come on out!" shouted Lilly.

Once the ball landed on the ground, a flash appeared. It then subsided to reveal Lilly's Octillery.

"Ha," said Octillery.

"Octillery, I need you to weaken that Drifloon so that I can catch it," said Lilly pointing at the Drifloon, "Can you do that?"

Octillery nodded in understanding.

"Okay then," said Lilly, "Hey you, Drifloon!"

The Drifloon turned to look at Lilly and Octillery.

"Prepared to be captured by me and my Octillery," said Lilly.

The Octillery nodded to agree with Lilly.

Hearing what Lilly said, the Drifloon started to tremble.

"Octillery! Use Constrict!" shouted Lilly.

Octillery proceeded to wrap his arms around Drifloon and squeeze it tightly and Drifloon struggled as Octillery squeezed it tightly.

"Now use Octazooka!" shouted Lilly.

Octillery took a deep breath and fired a large amount of ink from his mouth/nose, right onto Drifloon and it pushed Drifloon backwards while covering it in ink.

"Use Fire Blast!" shouted Lilly.

Octillery then expelled a good amount of fire from his mouth, the flames hitting Drifloon and the flames felt painful when they hit Drifloon and Drifloon felt ever so weak.

"Now finish Drifloon off with Aurora Beam!" shouted Lilly.

Octillery then released a multicolored, exceptionally cold beam from his mouth, which hit Drifloon and the move hurt so bad that Drifloon fell to the ground unconscious.

"Alright," said Lilly and she then turned to Lumpy, "What do I do now Uncle Lumpy?"

Lumpy handed her a Pokeball.

"Throw this at it," he told her.

"Okay," said Lilly and then she turned to the unconscious Drifloon and shouted:

"Go Pokeball!"

Lilly threw the Pokeball at Drifloon and as soon as the Pokeball hit Drifloon, it opened, engulfed the Pokémon in a flash of light, then closed and landed on the ground and then began to shake back and forth slowly but finally it stopped. The Drifloon had been caught.

"Alright! I caught a Drifloon!" Lilly said in triumph as she held up the Pokeball.

"Way to go, Lilly!" Lumpy replied.

"What do you think Vulcan?" Lilly asked Vulcan.

"Impressive battling skills," Vulcan commented.

"Thank you," said Lilly, "Drifloon come on out!"

She opened the Pokeball and a familiar flash of light emerged and went onto the ground. It then subsided to reveal Drifloon, still quite a bit weak from the battle.

"Hello Drifloon. I'm Lilly Moose your new Trainer," Lilly said to Drifloon.

Drifloon heard her voice and looked up at her.

"I'm sorry that I used my Octillery to attack you," said Lilly, "It was the only way I can weaken you so I could catch you."

The Drifloon nodded to show that it understood.

"Drifloon return," said Lilly pointing Drifloon's Pokeball at Drifloon.

A flash was expelled from the Pokeball, which brought Drifloon back into the ball.

"Octillery return," said Lilly pointing Octillery's Pokeball at Octillery.

With that, Octillery went back into his Pokeball and Lilly put both Octillery and Drifloon's Pokeballs away in her dark blue backpack with stars.

"Now let's get them to the Pokemon center," said Lilly.

"Of course," said Lumpy.

And then Lumpy and Lilly (with Vulcan sitting on Lilly's shoulder) made their way out of the forest, heading for the Pokemon center in the closest town they could find. Once they arrived at the Pokemon Center, they walked up to the counter where Nurse Joy was standing behind the counter.

"Hello, may I help you?" Nurse Joy asked.

"Yes. My Drifloon got pretty beaten up by my Octillery, so could you take care of it?" asked Lilly as she took Drifloon's Pokeball out of her bag.

"Oh, certainly." Nurse Joy took the Pokeball and put it into the healing machine.

"How long will it take for my Drifloon to heal?" asked Lilly.

"Not long. I'd say less than an hour," Nurse Joy replied.

"Okay," said Lilly and she turned to Lumpy, "Uncle Lumpy did you bring Lillipup and Bunnelby with you?"

"Yeah, but they're fine," said Lumpy.

"I do know that but let's have a Pokemon Battle," said Lilly.

"If you say so," Lumpy replied.

"Excuse me, Nurse Joy, does this Pokemon Center have a Pokemon Battle field?" Lilly asked Nurse Joy.

"Yes, but it's in that room over there." Nurse Joy pointed to a doorway that was on one side of the waiting room.

"Thanks. Come on Vulcan, come on Uncle Lumpy," said Lilly.

"One more thing," said Nurse Joy.

"What?" Lumpy asked as he turned to the nurse.

"Your Drifloon is all better," said Nurse Joy handing Drifloon's Pokeball to Lilly.

"Okay, thank you," Lilly said as she took the Pokeball back.

"We hope to see you again!" replied Nurse Joy.

"Come on Vulcan, come on Uncle Lumpy," said Lilly, "It's time to battle."

Lumpy nodded in acceptance and headed into the battle room with Lilly.
