Hello and welcome to the seccound chaptor of this story. Quick warning, my OC Nate has the worst luck in this chaptor. See you at the end for another A/N.


Chapter 2: The First Catch

While Nate was traveling along route 101 he thought that, just in case they needed to battle, he should look up Treecko's move set and what moves he is able to learn. "Hey, Treecko" He got the Pokémon's attention. "How about stop for some lunch, I want to check your moves out anyway." "Treecko Tree" he agreed. They soon found a small area with a large flat rock in for them to rest at. Using the supply's he had he quickly made himself a quick sandwich and took some Pokémon food out for Treecko. "Okay then, let's see what you can do." Nate opened up the pokedex and has it scan Treecko. "Okay, it says hear that you can currently use the moves Leer and Pound. That's not bad at all and on the plus side it says that with a bit of training you should be ready to learn absorb as well, which will be a great attack against ground and water types, what do you think?" "Treecko, Tree ko!" He shouted and held out his fist showing that he was ready to train and be ready to face anything. "Alright let's go!" Nate quickly packed everything up and they headed into a nearby area where Pokémon were bound to show up sooner or later. Before they knew it they ran into a grey wolf like Pokémon with black across its face, the bottom of its paws and on the inside of its ears. Quickly it took a bite at Treecko but missed as Treecko dodged it with ease.

"What is that Pokémon" Nate said to himself and Treecko as he pulled out his pokedex and scanned the Pokémon.

"Poochyena, the bite Pokémon." Said the pokedex. "At first sight, Poochyena bites at anything that moves. Noted for its tenacious nature, it chases after prey until the victim becomes exhausted. However, Poochyena may turn tail if the prey strikes back. Poochyena often tries to intimidate its foes by making the hair on its tail bristle out. Additional information: Poochyena has a very keen sense of smell, allowing it to find and chase its prey with ease."

"Cool this should give us a good first match, Treecko lets show him what were made of; start off with a pound attack!" At his trainers command Treecko jumped into action and charged at the Poochyena but as he got closer to his mark the wild Poochyena let out an ear piercing howl that made Nate wince and forced Treecko to stop his attack and cover his ears in an attempt to muffle the sound. Spotting its chance the Poochyena charged at Treecko and hit him hard with a tackle that had increased power from the previous howl. Treecko flew back to its trainer's feet and struggled to get back up.

"Don't give in Treecko, use leer." Treecko understood what his trainer was trying to do and hoped that it was going to work. Treecko looked up from the ground with a look in its eye that made the Poochyena stop dead in its tracks and freeze. "Now's our chance, Treecko use pound!" Even after the hit it took just moments before Treecko was able to go at an amazing speed and hit Poochyena in the side of the head with his tail. The Poochyena went flying to the left and came crashing down hard. He wasn't out though as he slowly began to stand back up. Nate began to try and think of a way that he could win this but then…

"Treecko!" Treecko shouted as a green light surrounded him and the Poochyena and soon little balls of green energy came out of the Poochyena and were absorbed by Treecko. Slowly it was clear that Treecko was slowly being healed whereas the Poochyena was taking some heavy damage from the powerful attack. "Is that Absorb?" Nate asked himself and so he decided to check with his pokedex. He took the pokedex out of his pocket and scanned the new attack. "Treecko is currently using the attack: Absorb." The pokedex said in its robotic voice. When Nate looked back at the field he saw his Treecko had recovered some of his health while the Poochyena was on the over side of the field slowly limping away. "TREECKO YOU DID IT!" Nate yelled as he ran and embraced his starter Pokémon. "Treecko!" Treecko he exclaimed pointing to the wounded Poochyena that was limping away. "Oh right, good point I need to catch it." Nate said as he started looking through his backpack for his pokeballs. Eventually he found them but by that time the Poochyena had got away. "Awww man, I was so close too." Nate said while scolding himself and then he turned to Treecko. "Sorry Treecko, looks like I messed up." Treecko then got back onto Nate's shoulder and patted him on the back. "Treecko Tree" he said trying to cheer his trainer up.

"Thanks buddy. I think it might be smart to keep my spare pokeballs on my belt with yours, don't you think?" He asked his partner. "Tree." Treecko said nodding in agreement. "Alright, let's see if we can find another Pokémon to fight." Nate said.

After a little bit of searching they came across a small worm like Pokémon. Its body was mostly red, with a cream underside and face. Its eyes were large and yellow with dark pupils. It had a sharp yellow stinger on its head and two on its rear. Behind its forehead stinger was a tall, erect, red spine with a similar, smaller spine behind that. It has small spikes running down the top portions of its body and five pairs of stubby white limbs. "What's that Pokémon?" Nate asked flipping open his pokedex. "Wurmple, the Worm Pokémon. Wurmple's feet are tipped with suction pads, allowing it to cling to glass or tree branches without slipping. Wurmple can also spit a white silk that turns sticky when it comes in contact with air. Wurmple can also release poison from the spikes on its rear end."

"Now that's a pretty cool Pokémon and this time I won't mess up. Treecko use absorb and then follow it up with pound." Nate commanded. As Treecko prepared to launch his attack the Wurmple launched a poison sting at Treecko. "Dodge it and then use absorb." Treecko easily dodged the poison attack and then used absorb. When absorb was finished Treecko charged in with a pound attack, but the Wurmple, in a last attempted to stop Treecko, launched a string shot at him. "Treecko dodge to the left and keep going." Treecko easily dodged the string shot and hit Wurmple with his strongest pound. The only problem was that the pound was too strong for the small little Wurmple and it was sent flying over the trees and out of sight.

Both Nate and Treecko were stunned at what had just happened. "Treecko, did you really just send that Wurmple on a one way flight?" asked Nate still in slight shock. "Tree ko." Replied Treecko also still in shock. About a minute later Nate had a thought. "Hey Treecko?" Nate asked "Tree." Replied Treecko "Looks like I'm not the only one the messed up." Nate said starting to laugh a little. Soon Treecko began to laugh at how they had both mucked up and before they knew it they were both lying on the floor in fits of laughter.

About 5 minutes later they both stopped laughing and decided to head to the Pokémon centre to rest up.

"Hello Nurse Joy" Nate said to Nurse Joy as he walked into the Pokémon centre.

"Hello and welcome to the Pokémon centre. Do you need your Pokémon healed?"

"Yes please and I need a room for the night as well please."

"Very well, you can have room 133."

"Thank you, but I think I'll wait for Treecko."

"Ok." She said as she put Treecko's pokeball onto the machine and in a few seconds it was done. "Hear you are. He's back to perfect health." She said

"Wait so it only took a minute in that machine and Treecko is just fine?" Nate asked still finding it hard to believe.

"Yes, but while it went through I could tell that it had done a fair amount of battling. If you don't mind me asking did you catch any other Pokémon?" she asked seeming quite curious.

"Unfortunately, no. The first battle we had against a Poochyena we won but I was to slow in throwing the pokeball and the second time against a Wurmple, my Treecko sent it flying, literally."

"Oh my, well I hope you more luck next time." She said but as Nate turned to leave she said something else. "Actually, if you go north of Oldale town and into route 103 you may be able to find a Wingull, there part water and part flying so a good Pokémon to have if you get into a fight with a fire type that you're Treecko can't handle."

He quickly turned around. "Thank you nurse joy I'll be sure to do that." And then he went up to the room to rest. When he got into my room let Treecko out of his pokeball. "Treecko." It said as it stretched, thankful for being let out again. "Hey, Treecko, you know we were going to head straight for Rustboro City?" he asked his partner. "Tree" he stated agreeing with his trainer. "Well were going to take a little side trip so we can catch a Pokémon called Wingull" he said as he brought out his pokedex to look up the Pokémon. On the pokedex screen appeared a picture of a Wingull. Its eyes were thin, dark, and simplistic in form, and there were two small, pointed and somewhat earlike extensions on its head. Wingull's long, orange, hooked beak was tipped with black. Wingull's wings were notable for their long, thin shape and blue stripes. Wingull's three tail feathers, also tipped with blue, were proportionally short and in a fan-like arrangement. The pokedex then read its entry on the Pokémon. "Wingull, the seagull Pokémon. Wingull rides updrafts rising from the sea by extending its long and narrow wings to glide. This Pokémon's long beak is useful for catching prey. Additional information: Wingull tend to collect valuable objects and hide them in all sorts of places."

"What do you think Treecko?" For a moment Treecko didn't respond but then. "Treecko!" it cried happily liking the idea of having him as a team member. "Glad you like the idea pal." Nate said as he rubbed Treecko's back. Soon he let out a yawn and was starting to fall asleep. "We'll go north of Oldale town in the morning and see if we can find one. Night Treecko." "Tree, Tree" said Treecko he was getting tired as well. Soon they both fell asleep.

The next Morning Treecko woke up early and tried to get his trainer up as well but it wasn't working. Then out of nowhere an idea popped into his "Treecko." He grinned mischievously. He began to roll his trainer of the bed but once he was on his side gravity took hold and he fell straight off the bed face first. This instantly woke him up.

"Oww" moaned Nate as he moved in his new position on the floor. He looked up to see Treecko on the bed creased up in laughter. "Not funny Treecko." Said a mad Nate as he got up. "Tree, tree, Treecko, tree!" Treecko quickly explained that he did to wake him up so they could find and catch a new friend.

Nate decided to give Treecko the benefit of the doubt and left it at that. Soon he was dressed and ready to go so with Treecko on his shoulder he headed north through oldale town to get to route 103 where they hoped to find and capture a Wingull. Soon they found that it was not easy trying to find the seagull Pokémon but soon they saw a small shadow pass over them. "There!" Nate shouted with excitement. "Wait a minute, how are we meant to reach it?" Nate asked his partner who instinctively leapt from Nate's shoulder and began to run up a nearby tree.

"Great thinking Treecko!" Nate shouted to his partner. "When you reach the top, jump and try to hit it with a pound attack." Nate shouted to his partner. Soon Treecko reached the top of the tree with ease and leaped to try and hit the Wingull with its tail, however the seagull Pokémon saw the attack coming and gracefully flew up to avoid the attack. As Treecko was in the air he was not able to do anything other than watch as the bird did a U-turn and blasted Treecko with a water gun that sent Treecko flying straight into the ground.

"TREECKO!" Nate shouted to his Pokémon and ran to his side. After hitting Treecko with that water gun the Wingull then proceeded to just continue flying out of sight. "You ok buddy?" Nate asked as his Pokémon began to regain consciousness. "Tree." Treecko said, asking about the Wingull. "It flew off after you crashed into the ground" At hearing this Treecko looked down at the ground and sighed. "Don't worry about it, buddy, there's always next time."

"Tree." Treecko replied still upset after losing to a water type. "Come on lets head out to route 102." Treecko agreed and climbed onto Nate shoulder. "Oh, I almost forgot, eat this it'll make you feel better." Nate said as he took a small, round, blue berry out of his jacket pocket and handed it to Treecko. "Tree?" Treecko asked curiously, taking the berry from his trainer. "Apparently it's called an Oran Berry; it's supposed to give you more energy so that you're ready to battle if you need to." At hearing this Treecko ate the berry and instantly he began to feel its effects. "Treecko!" Treecko exclaimed happily, felling fully refreshed. "Glad you're feeling better buddy." Nate said as they passed through oldale town and onto route 102.

"Surs, Surskit." Nate and Treecko heard something exclaim from the lake on there right. Almost instantly Nate and Treecko turned to see a beautiful Pokémon, skating on the water. It had a round, blue body with four long and skinny legs extending from it. It had a yellow cap with a single antenna on top of its head. Its eyes are dark and circular, and have small semi-circular pink markings under them.

"Wow." Nate simply stated as he and Treecko looked at the small Pokémon dance on the water. Nate brought out his pokedex to see what this Pokémon was. "Surskit, the Pond Skater Pokémon. From the tips of its feet, Surskit secretes an oil that enables it to walk on water as if it were skating. Additional information: As it is part Water-type, Surskit and its evolution are capable of using Ice-type attacks."

"Wow, we have got to catch that Pokémon, Treecko use absorb on the Surskit." Nate told his partner and Treecko leapt into action. Taking the skating Pokémon by surprise, Treecko began to absorb the Surskits energy. When the attack ended the water type launched a massive bubble attack at Treecko. The attack may have been weak against Treecko but he still took a fair bit of damage as he struggled to dodge the barrage of bubbles that surrounded him. "Hang in there Treecko, use pound to pop the bubbles." Treecko began to do this but then from behind him, Surskit hit him with a quick attack. "Treecko hit it with a pound attack while it's still close to you." Nate shouted and Treecko, now that the bubbles were gone, was able to land a critical hit on the Surskit and knock it out. "Yes, Treecko." Nate exclaimed while taking a pokeball off of his belt. "Pokeball go." Nate exclaimed. The pokeball flew through the air and hit the pond skater Pokémon on the head, absorbing it in a red beam of energy. The pokeball shook a couple of times with a red dot flashing in the centre but soon it stopped signalling that it had been caught.

"Yes, we caught a Surskit." Nate said as he picked up the pokeball. "Treecko, Tree." Treecko exclaimed in victory. "Should we meet our new partner then Treecko?" Nate asked, already knowing what the answer would be. "Tree." He simply said, agreeing with his trainer. "Alright then, Surskit come on out." Nate said as he released his new Pokémon from her pokeball.

"Surskit, Surskit Sur." The small blue Pokémon exclaimed, smiling with its eyes, as it was let out of its pokeball. "Surskit, how would you like to travel with me?" Nate asked the Pokémon. She instantly jumped up and into Nate's arms and cheered with excitement. "I'll take that as a yes then." Nate said happy that she was going to travel with them.

"How about we check out your moves, Surskit." Nate said as he pulled out his pokedex to scan the Pokémon. "Surs." She said agreeing with her new trainer. "Okay, well it says here that you are able to use Bubble and quick attack. A good couple moves and it also says that after a fair bit of training you may be able to learn sweet scent." Surskit seemed happy at this and jumped at Nate again. "I guess you're the affectionate kind of Pokémon then." Nate said to himself laughing a little. "Surskit." She said as she got off of her new trainer. Soon though an idea came to Nate. "Hey Surskit, do you think you can teach Treecko how to use quick attack?" Nate asked. At hearing this Treecko's eyes sparkled with determination and hope. "Treecko?" it asked wondering if what his trainer said could be done. "Surs, Surskit." She said agreeing with what they asked her to do.

Hearing this Treecko jumped from and hugged Surskit in advance for teaching an attack quicker then he normally would be able to learn it. "Treecko, Tree." He said thanking the Pokémon again before finally letting the small blue Pokémon go. Nate chuckled to himself at the scene before him. "Come on you two, let's find somewhere to train."
