I ran onto Route Two Hundred Two and ran into the grass. I felt the tall grass brushing on my ankles. Then, in the grass I saw a pack of Shinx. They walked proudly with their heads held high. I pulled out a Pokeball from my bag, this was going to be my first Sinnoh catch. Then I noticed that one was smaller than the rest and running to catch up to them. It kind of reminded me of me when I first started my journey, but then I evolved into a powerful Luxray. The little Shinx caught up to the pack but was then whacked away by one of the Shinx's tail. I immediately lowered the Pokeball and got closer to it, checking to see if it was okay. It shook the blow off and ran after to the rest of the pack. I curiously followed where they were going.
They ducked behind some bushes with ease, but the little Shinx struggled to get under. I crawled under with them to see what was on the other side. When I came up, I gasped. I saw some Luxio playing with some Shinx, Shinxes play-fighting eachother, but at the end of the field, I saw two Luxray, sitting tall and proud. The little Shinx tried to play with the others, but was swatted away by the others. Then, when it tried to squeeze in, the other shocked it. I couldn't hold back, I couldn't keep watching it being pushed around. I burst out of the bushes,
"Hey!" I shouted, "Stop that!"
The entire forest of Shinx, Luxio, and Luxray looked right at me and growled. They crouched down and all came towards me, I backed away. The little Shinx pulled at them to get him to stop, but its effort were useless,
"Uh oh." I said,
Then, all of the Pokemon let loose electricity and aimed it at me. I tried to dodge it, but I was too late and the electricity hit me. I screamed at the searing pain. I felt like my insides were burning up, but I wasn't going to die this way. I knew I wouldn't. Instead, the force blew me right out of the Luxray Valley. I tried to get up, but my muscles were too weak, and I collapsed on the ground.
I felt a wet tongue lick my face. I opened my eyes to see the little Shinx on my chest. It nudged a Pokeball that was laying next to me. It was sending some sort of sign,
"You wanna come with me?" I asked,
"Shinx!" Shinx exclaimed, which must've meant yes in English,
"Alright then, go Pokeball!" I shouted as I let the Pokeball fly. It hit Shinx and shook three times before it stopped. I hoisted it up into the air and held it high, "I caught a Shinx!"
I put Shinx's Pokeball in my bag and I kept going on the route until I reached Jubilife City. When I did, a man with a suit and an enthusiastic smile approached me and asked,
"Hey kid, do you know what a Poketch is?"
"Yeah." I answered, "It's like a Holo Caster but for Sinnoh."
"We're having a Poketch sale today, and you just happen to be a luck winner, so you get one for free!" he exclaimed, "What's your favorite color?"
"Red," I answered, "How is this relevant?"
He handed me a red Poketch from his bag and I strapped it on my wrist,
"Enjoy your day!" he exclaimed before running off,
After that I ran to the Pokemon Center to heal all of my Pokemon. When Nurse Joy handed them back with a smile, I ran towards Route Two Hundred Four. On that route, I leveled up my Pokemon by battling trainers. They were all decent but none of them were able to overcome Shinx or Piplup. I walked down the road, victoriously. There was only one patch of tall grass standing between me and Floaroma Town. Hopefully something won't pop out at me. I was wrong, because a Starly jumped out in front of me. It almost hit me in the head as it whooshed by. It wouldn't let me go by, I was caught in a battle with it. I had to send out a Pokemon,
"Piplup, I choose you!" I shouted,
Piplup came out of the Pokeball and stood its ground,
"Piplup, use bubble!" I shouted,
Piplup shot a ray of bubbles out of its mouth and it hit Starly. It fell to the ground and while it was down I found another chance to attack,
"Piplup, use pound!" I shouted,
Piplup jumped up and got ready to hit it. Its right arm began to glow white. Starly got up in time to dodge the move. Piplup hit the ground hard and while it was down Starly was able to hit it with a hard wing attack. It was sent flying back at me. I opened my arms and caught it. Starly the flew at me, ready to attack either me or Piplup in my arms. Either way, this wouldn't end well. I fumbled around for a Pokeball. It got closer and closer, but I couldn't find one in my bag. It was now only a few inches away. I grasped my hand around something round. I pulled it out of the bag to find it was only an oran berry. I shoved it back in, but I found no pokeballs. Starly was so close now that I could see all of its feathers sticking out on its wings. Then, at the last second, I found a Pokeball. I pulled it out of the bag and I threw it blindly with my eyes closed, breaking for impact,
"Go Pokeball!"
I opened my eyes to see if I hit my mark. In front of me, Starly was frozen only inches from my face. It was surrounded by a red light, and then it was sucked into the Pokeball. It shook three times before it stopped. Starly was inside. I set Piplup down, sighing with relief as I picked up the Pokeball,
"I caught a Starly!" I exclaimed,
I returned Piplup to its Pokeball and put both of them in my bag. I ran through the grass into Floaroma Town and the first thing I noticed was the sweet aroma of flowers. There were flowers everywhere, of every color, red white, purple, pink, and blue. It was absolutely stunning. I ran into the Pokemon Center and walked up to the desk where Nurse Joy sat at. I handed her my Pokeballs,
"Good Evening!" she chimed,
"Good even-"
"Well, well, well, if it isn't Kylie," an unwelcoming voice bellowed, "Are you here because you blacked out?"
I turned around to see Annette. Hands on hips, she had a nasty smile spread across her face, flashing her perfectly white teeth,
"Annette," I spat, "What are you doing here?"
"I'm here for the Floraroma Contest." she answered,
Contest, that rings a bell. I remember when Shauna or Kate or someone suggested we all entered one, and I said that it sounded stupid. Maybe I'll eat my words, just to make Annette eat hers,
"Sounds fun. In fact, I was about to head over to register after this." I lied,
"Sorry, hun, but registration's over. Plus, a little worm like you would never make it to the second round." Annette teased, "Well, I'll see you around. Ta, ta!"
She shoved me away from the desk and gave her Pokemon to Nurse Joy. Four Pokeballs, I need to catch up to her,
"I'll get you Annette, don't worry." I said to myself,
I ran to the contest hall. If I couldn't be in the contest but there was no one stopping me from watching it. I noticed that it started in an hour so I bought tickets for myself for the contest. I went inside before the contest started to my seat. After about thirty minutes of waiting bright lights flashed and a giant jumbotron lit up with the MC, Marian, a tiny dot on the actual field, came out.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, it's time for the Floraroma Contest!" she exclaimed, the crowd cheered, "Now let's welcome our judges!"
The three judges came out, the Floraroma Nurse Joy, Mr. Contesta, and Mr. Sukizo. The first round appeals were beautiful. Some focused on power, some were cute, and others focused on beauty. One trainer I focused on was Riley. Her awesome Pokemon danced around the field and dodged moves, taking points off of the opponents. Unlike the others, they weren't cute or beautiful, they were just...flawless. The final match was Riley Vs. Annette. As the points drifted down to zero, Riley won by a lot. She was given a Floraroma Ribbon and the crowd cheered.
I've decided what I want to do besides battling.
I wanna be a Coordinator.
