Oh look new chapter! Can I have some reviewers please! Thanks!
Dusk sat at the bank of the river, Eevee playing in the shallows batting at the red magikarp.
"You know Viridian is a two-day walk. We should take our time. Train a bit…maybe catch another Pokémon." Dusk put her chin on her fist watching the glittering water.
"Eva!" Eevee jumped up onto the rock Dusk was lounging on. Patting at her leg, Dusk looked at her.
"Yea…let's get going. I hate hanging around aimlessly." Dusk gathered her pack and stood stretching out her tense muscles.
"Eve!" Dusk looked over and saw a Poliwag playing with a rock in the shallows across the river, "Cute! I love poliwags. My Mama has one at my Auntie's house in Cerulean. She was the leader of Cerulean City. But now my cousin Cobalt is the leader, I heard he's good but they always close the gym when we come to visit."
They continued walking, Dusk watched the Rattatas and Pidgeys run through the grass, Eevee watched them with interest but kept going. Suddenly Eevee stopped and perked up its ears. Dusk noticed and stopped walking. Kneeling next to her little Pokémon, she smoothed out its puffed fur.
"Eevee…what's wrong?" She heard the stamping of hooves and looked up as she saw a yellow Pokémon run out of the bushes, a few of the leaves scorched and turned to ashes.
"Whoa!" Dusk pulled Eevee out of the way, "It's a Ponyta!" she breathed out.
"Hurry! It's getting away Sandshrew!" Dusk turned, a young man came out of the bushes. His long brown hair pulled back into a braid. His dark grey eyes calculated the situation. His Sandshrew clicked its claws against each other, it roaring for a fight. He pulled a pokeball out from the pocket of his black jeans.
Dusk stood and watched the battle unfolding before her.
"Sandshrew…scratch attack. Go!" The yellow-brown Pokémon threw itself at the fire type claw outstretched, a malicious look on his face. The Ponyta blew fire at it, dodging and rolling the Sandshrew scratched the Ponyta on the forelock of its leg.
"TA!" It screeched, then shook out its mane and snorted before lashing out with a stomp attack . . . t missed.
"Now! Use fury attack!" The Sandshrew went after the Ponyta, every hit making its mark on the Pokémon's body.
"Ponyta!" she whispered
"Come on! Hit it one more time! Finish It!" she watched as the Sandshrew used a full out Rollout Attack on the fallen Ponyta.
"Go Pokeball!" Dusk saw the little red ball hit the pokeball, a few shakes and it was captured. The boy went over to the ball; he quickly pulled out his pokedex and scanned it.
"Level 7…known moves, Ember, Stomp and Agility. Weak…" he growled and put his pokedex back into his pocket, holding the pokeball out in his hand he said one word, "Release!"
The Ponyta reappeared on the ground injured and tired. He turned to leave.
"Hey! Aren't you going to use a potion on it or something?"
"No…it's weak. Its pain will make it stronger." He kept walking into the forest
"You jerk! You asshole! Come back here! I challenge you!"
"So? You're weak. I don't need to fight a battle with you to prove my strength. Go home little girl before you get into some trouble."
"Come on fight me! Or are you afraid you'll lose!"
"No. It is pointless. Now if you excuse me." He turned to leave, but she ran in front of him, "You don't give up do you?"
"No! Never! At least tell me your name!" I gripped the gray vest he wore and pulled him down to my face.
"My name is Cory. Cory Vale."
"Well Cory Vale…I swear I'm going to make you pay for hurting that Ponyta…you can count on that." she let his vest go. He straightened up and fixed the vest, straightened out his purple undershirt.
"Well then if that all I must be going loser." He left his Sandshrew following him.
"What a jerk…oh shit…PONYTA!" Dusk ran over to the hurt fire-type, "Shuuuush…it'll be ok." Dusk pulled off her backpack and pulled out a potion.
"Eevee…can you please calm her down. I need to apply this potion. Her injuries are bad."
"Eev!" the small Pokémon nudged the Ponyta's head carefully relaxing it. Dusk sprayed the medicine over it wounds.
"TA!" the Ponyta squirmed under Dusk's touch.
"I know it stings but it'll make you better…come on its ok." After finished the bottle Dusk pulled out her pokedex, "Hm…the max HP on this Pokémon is 40 and now it's at 20…I don't have enough medicine. I'll have to take you to a Pokémon center. But you're a large Pokémon…I can't carry you…" Dusk seemed to struggle with herself.
"Eev…?"
Dusk pulled a pokeball from her backpack, "Go pokeball." Ponyta watched at the ball came down, shot a red beam of light, and disappeared. It made a click noise and Dusk knelled down and picked it up.
"I caught Ponyta." She whispered, she clipped the pokeball onto her belt and began to put all her items back into her bag, "Come on Eevee we've got a lot of ground to cover." Shouldering the bag, she and Eevee followed the river down into the Viridian Valley that was the area between Pallet Town and Viridian City.
By now, it was twilight and Dusk decided that a small clearing off the bank of the River Mar, the River Mar went from Viridian City down to Pallet Town and emptied off into the Ocean. It was where her parents met, this much she knew, and it was a quiet river, few rapids, and no waterfalls. Only young water types lived here like Poliwags, Magikarp, and Remoraid. The surrounding area was nice. Grass types and flying types lived in the area. Among flying types Pidgeys made their roost here, among grass-types only Oddish, Bellsprout and the occasionally Nidodran.
She set up camp, building a small fire and cooking a bowl of tomato soup that her Uncle Brock showed her. She set out a can of Poke-Chow and released the still recovering Ponyta.
Eevee sat next to the wary Ponyta, nudging it to eat the bowl of food. It refused and only drank the water from the river.
"Come on Ponyta…it's not poisoned, see Eevee is eating it. It's not poisoned."
Ponyta looked straight at Dusk, lifted its snout, and breathed out into her face. Dusk looked at Ponyta puzzled, again Ponyta breathed out into her face. Dusk copied her, lifted her chin and breathed out into Ponyta's face.
"TA!" it nuzzled Dusk, lay down, and began to eat. Dusk just stared; shaking her head, she opened her pokedex.
PONYTA IS A FIRE-TYPE POKEMON. ITS HOOVES ARE STRONGER THAN DIAMONDS. WHEN PONYTA ARE CAPTURED, THEY EXPECT THE CAPTURER TO LEARN THEIR SCENT. THEY DO THIS BY BREATHING INTO THE TRAINERS FACE. ONCE THE TRAINER PARCIPITATES THEY WILL BECOME FULLY LOAYL TO THAT TRAINER AND REFUSE TO TAKE ANY OTHERS ORDER UNLESS TOLD.
"Oh…that makes more sense now. So I guess I'm your trainer now huh?"
"Ta." It continued eating.
"Well then…welcome to the team."
As night fell it dawned upon Dusk that she had acquired a new teammate and friend, now she had a team of two…Eevee and Ponyta.
