Chapter 2: A New Friend
Travis was walking north towards the next city. His new Piplup was by his side walking happily. All of a sudden a Starly flew towards Piplup and attacked it with a Peck attack. Travis pulled out his pokedex and aimed it at the Starly. It responded saying, "Starly, the Starling Pokémon, they flock in great numbers. Though small, they flap their wings with great power."
Travis smiled and said, Piplup, use Tackle on the Starly."
Piplup nodded happy at a chance to show its worth to its trainer and charged at the Starly. It made contact and the Starly was smashed back. The Starly then used Screech. Piplup shook its head as if it were in pain. Travis told Piplup, "Don't focus on the noise, Piplup. Attack it again with Tackle."
Piplup charged at the Starly again. Starly was thrown back once more and it began showing signs of being close to being defeated. Starly attempted to fly away but it couldn't get off of the ground. Travis smirked and said, "You're going down, got it memorized? Piplup finish it with one more Tackle attack. Piplup charged at the Starly once more and hit it with full force. The Starly swayed back and forth for a second and then hit the ground, fainted. Travis took a poke ball out of his pocket and tossed it at the Starly. The Starly became surrounded by a red light and it disappeared inside of the poke ball. The poke ball shook once, twice, three times and then dinged. Travis picked up the poke ball and held it high saying, "I caught a Starly!" Piplup jumped up next to Travis happily as well.
