~Chapter 2~

The two followed the older man inside, noticing him look both ways before heaving a sigh. His eyes narrowed, and his glasses moved with the wrinkling nose.

Alecksus jumped up and down, "Pokemon are real! Hooray!"

"Pokemon..?" Lylli wasn't getting it.

"My sister muttered something about them," He grunted, "The dork..."

"Eh? Jenny's not a dork!" Alecksus gave a huff, before looking up front to the capsule-like machine. "What's that?"

When they looked up close, it's pearly white coat gleamed despite all the professors walking around it, or smacking it on accident. With all the technology the world was getting, it didn't seem like a small kick would bring this sucker down.

The inside from a bird's eye view was empty; This lead Shawn to smacking himself in the head a couple of times while groaning. "I knew I shouldn't have left those freakin' Teenagers on their own!"

The kids looked into it, and just as it was: Empty. It seemed like the spots each had some sort of symbol where the round holes were. Was this supposed to be where the Pokemon were at?

"I had three Pokeballs in here from the start. I had two of Jenny's 'friends' wait here, but they were supposed to wait before running off! Dammit.." He clicked his tongue, looking through the clipboard that was hanging down from the container. Flipping the pages of the papers that were hanging, he knew for sure now that they had taken them. Both of their names were on it respectively.

"S-So.. There's no more?" Lylli had a whimper erupted from her throat. She didn't have that big of a clue, but if they were animals, she was going to be depressed if there was a pet she couldn't keep.

"Sadly, they're-"

"HELP!"

"Eh?" The three dashed outside to find someone in a corner of the patched grass fields. There was a creature there that had a brown-tanish feather color, and a pink beak. The little bird was pecking at the toddler, leaving small scratches and a bruise on it's skin.

Alecksus didn't know what to do. She didn't want to charge into there without ammo, but she had no clue on what she could do when fighting against something different from her. Was this a Pokemon..?

"Hey, Lecksi wait!" Shawn reached out to grab her, but she was able to break away from his hold. "That Pidgey..."

The adolescent could not wait any longer. She wanted to help the kid with whatever it took. She took a stance, glaring at it.

"Stop hurting them, you meanie-head!" Lecksi then picked up one of the small pebbles that were around her and tossed it at the Pokemon.

When the pebble hit the so-called "Pidgey" across it's head, the bird jumped off the ground and landed in the exact same spot. However, it was focusing it's attention on her despite the fact that it could've turned around to torment it again.

"H-Huh? Why didn't it fly away?" Alecksus backed up a bit after it let out a menacing screech from it's mouth.

"You've aggravated it! It's going to attack you now!" Shawn let out the cry the best to his ability. As soon as he said it, the bird was flying towards her.

"Huh?" Was her current reaction when it slammed right into her body to attempt at knocking her down. The attempt was successful, because Lecksi rolled and tumbled onto the ground before her. Oh how it hurt her stomach so much! It was no wonder the person that was cowering in fear did what he did.

"Lecksi! Get up!" She heard her sister call out to her. "It's coming after you again! Hurry!"

Though, even with their cries to get her standing again, she couldn't do it. It was hurting her as much as the next person, so when she was about to take the next attack..

"Hah!"

There was a smack, there was a fall, and there were little noises being made between what seemed like another Pokemon and the Pidgey. Lecksi was watching what was in front of her; A little green figure with an even darker green of a tail was in front of her. The little orbs in her eyes widened, because she had not seen a Pokemon Battle up close before.

Shawn and Lylli ran up to her, picking her up from the ground.

"Are you okay, Lecks?" Shawn checked around for any scrapes or scratches.

"I'm fine, but.. D-Did one of you send out that Pokemon?"

"No."

Alecksus was confused; Wouldn't Shawn own a Pokemon if he was part of the Pokemon Lab? There were many things the little adolescent didn't understand about Pokemon yet, but why would this one come out of the blue and protect her?

"That's Treecko." Shawn was watching them as he sparred, "It's a Grass Pokemon, which should be weak to Flying, but it doesn't seem like it has a problem with it."

"It look so adorable! Hooray for the Treecko!"

Alecksus turned back to the Treecko, smiling a bit when it locked eyes with her. That same Treecko smiled back, nodding to her.

"..?"

"I think it wants you to call out the next move." Shawn gave a low chuckle again.

She felt something warm flash on her cheeks as she squealed in delight. It wasn't every day that a Pokemon would come out and ask her to help him.

"O-Okay, Mister Treecko!" She pointed at the Pidgey. "Attack it again, and make sure it doesn't hurt that kid!"

It nodded, jumping into the air and readying it's small fist before smacking it against the Pidgey again. A wail from the opposite party came out before it fell to the floor and fainted.

"I won!" She jumped up in the air with glee, then looked back at the Pokemon who had supported her.

"No.. We won.."

~x~

"So, this is a Treecko?"

Shawn was holding out certain items to the Pokemon, making sure it regained it's Energy from before. It was a hard battle to say the least, but he was surprised that they made it out okay. The Treecko happily accepted the food, smiling.

"Yep." Shawn walked over to the table near the computer workspace he made for him. There, he stared at two little red machines that were at the table. The curly-haired man knew there were supposed to be 5 in case someone else wanted to go along, but it still worked out with him.

"What are you doing, Shawn?" Lylli, being as curious as a cat, was about to walk up to him.

"Lecksi, Lylli," He turned around to both of them, holding the machines in his hands. "You two will do great out there, I'm sure. You may be a little young to be carrying around Pokemon and becoming a Trainer, but with the way you battled out there... I have high hopes for you guys."

"Shawn..?"

"With that said, I present to you two machines called the Pokedex." He ignored the call of his name, fixing his glasses before putting his hands into a respected pocket on his jeans. "How would you like to become a Pokemon Trainer? You could either enter contests, participate in Gym Battles, or even just keep the pokemon as pets!"

"If we can do all that, then what do you do?" Alecksus.

"I research them with a couple of other people." Shawn cleared his throat, "Lecksi, with that Treecko. I'm sure you two will become great partners."

"If it wants to come along, you know!" Lylli looked back at the Dex she took from his hands, then looked at him. "I don't have a Pokemon, though.."

"You will get one in time. Be patient."

"Hrm.." The Treecko was now looking at Lecksi, who was also looking at it again. She held her hand out to him, tilting her head.

"Mister Treecko, do you want to follow me along on my adventure?"

..It nodded, and placed it's small green "paw" into hers.

Now is the beginning of Lecksi's and Lylli's Pokemon Adventure...
