Chapter 2: The piplup and The Shinx

Last time; Jack received his very first Pokémon piplup at Professor Roman's lab. Now, in this chapter we are going to catch a Pokémon and if you read the title you would know who it is. Now, let's get this show on the road.


At the PokéMart

Jack was stocking up on supplies but ran out of money before he could buy any Pokéballs. "Oh well, at least we stocked up on potions. 'Kay piplup time to hit the road" Jack said noticing piplup wasn't where he put her. "Uh? Piplup?" Jack ran out of the PokéMart only to bump into a Professor Roman. "Oof!" they both said when they hit the ground. "Oh! Dear" said Professor Roman Jack on the other hand, was easing his head and was able to see who he bumped into. "Oh! Professor I am so sorry about that." "Nah, it's alright. Now what's the hurry?" "Piplup is gone she must've wandered off somewhere" Just then we heard a familiar sound a familiar sound. "That sounds like Piplup!" "Then we better go then." We heard the sound coming from route 202 and after arriving piplup was face to face with a black & blue lion cub Pokémon. "Ooh! Who could that be?" asking fascinated by it. "It's a shinx" assured Professor Roman. "It looks awesome I totally want one." "Well, what are you waiting for?" "Well you see I spent my money on potions and couldn't get any Pokéballs." "Hm, lucky for you I have some I can lend you." "Really, that's great thank you professor." "Now, in order for you to catch shinx you need to weaken it" instructed the professor. "Got it! Alright piplup show 'em what you got okay use bubble beam" but piplup just used pound while shinx used tackle and hit piplup on the head leaving it a bump. "Come on piplup bubble beam let's go" but piplup kept ignoring Jack and started battling her way but the way it's going shinx won't be getting caught that easily. "Piplup you have to listen to me" but piplup started launching a pound attack at shinx and shinx started charging at piplup surrounded by electricity. "Be careful Jack that's spark which can cause piplup serious damage." "Piplup quick get out of the way!" but it was too late as the attack hit piplup leaving piplup paralyzed on the ground. "Piplup!" and with that shinx went on his marry way while Jack ran to check on piplup. "Piplup, are you okay? Piplup!" "Come on, we'll take piplup to the Pokémon center back in Sandgem town." "Right! Hang on Piplup."

Back in Sandgem town

"Nurse Joy! Nurse Joy please you have to help my piplup" pleaded Jack. A woman with pink hair dressed up like a nurse and when she saw piplup she was worried. "Huh! What happened?" "You see I sent my piplup into battle against a wild shinx trying to catch it but apparently I underestimate it and we lost." "I see, I'll see what I can do" and with that a gurney came with a big pink Pokémon wearing the same hat as Nurse Joy. I put piplup on the gurney and watched them through a window. "Come on, Piplup you have to make it you just got to make it."

10 minutes later

I heard the door open and out came Nurse Joy. "Nurse Joy; Please tell me piplup going to be okay." "Don't you worry Jack, your piplup will be fine it just need some rest I say in the morning it should be full of energy." "Thank you so much Nurse Joy" and looked at piplup through the glass. I went to Professor Roman's lab to see if he has any Pokémon food he gave me some that water types would love he also gave me 5 Pokéballs and what he called a Pokédex it records data about a Pokémon. I went back to the Pokémon center and poured Pokémon food in a bowl and went to piplup's room. When I got there piplup was gone it wasn't anywhere in the room. That's when I noticed an opened window and went to it didn't see any trace of piplup. I decided to go look for it but it looks like it will take forever to find it that is until I ran into shinx and from the looks of it was the same shinx from before because it glared at me. "Look, I'm not here to battle you shinx I need to find piplup can you help me?" Shinx started to loosen up a bit and started moving forward. I'd followed it to find a waterfall where'd I find piplup I hid behind a bush to see what she was up to. So far it used bubble beam and pound to try and smash a boulder so far, have been leaving cracks in the rock but seems to not give up. Piplup charged at it with a pound attack only to start filling pain in its wing I can't look at it anymore and decided to jump in. "Piplup! Please stop it's too dangerous you're not in good shape." "Pip-lup, Piplup, Piplup, Pip-lup" said piplup really angry. "Oh! Piplup are you upset about your battle with shinx?" "Pip-lup" she assured him. "You must really hate to lose and that losing that battle must've made you really upset. I hate losing too so we're alike in a way." "Pip" "Alright let get back to training what do you say?" "Pip-lup" it looks as if piplup would smile but decided to hide it. We been training all night until we were able to smash that boulder. "You did it Piplup now we can't lose." "Pip-lup" "Now, looks like you have a score to settle with a certain Pokémon. Do you?" "Pip-lup" That's when shinx appeared looking ready to battle and even though I couldn't tell apparently piplup could because she was ready to fight too. "Gee, we can't wait until morning" Both Pokémon looked at me as if to say seriously. "Alright, Alright, I know when I'm beat alright piplup let's do this" and shinx started using tackle. "Piplup use bubble beam and slow it down" Piplup fired a more powerful bubble beam stopping shinx in its tracks. "Wow, piplup your bubble beam is even stronger from when you faced ursuaring. Now, why don't you show him your pound attack" and piplup started charging at it with its wing glowing while shinx started charging at piplup with a spark attack. Moments later both Pokémon ended up on opposite sides both Pokémon are looking tired but neither one seems to not want to quit. That's when I noticed shinx using tackle instead of stopping it with bubble beam I decided use an old contest move my mom used in her day all we had to do was wait until. "Now! Piplup spin and dodge it" seconds later piplup was behind shinx. "Bubble beam!" and piplup fire a series of bubbles hitting shinx from behind making shinx hit a tree making it unconscious. "I hope this work go Pokéball!" Jack shouted and threw a Pokéball at shinx. The Pokéball started moving side to side then it stopped. "We did it, we did it we caught shinx" I said happily. "Thanks, Piplup I couldn't have done it without you" Jack said before noticing piplup was asleep.

in the Morning

"Jack I'm happy to let you know both piplup and shinx are both in fighting fit" confirmed Nurse Joy. "Thanks, Nurse Joy. Shinx come on out!" and shinx came out of his Pokéball energetic. "Hey, shinx my name is Jack and this is piplup our goal is to be Top coordinator and champion in Sinnoh and would be happy to have you the team to fulfill it what do you say hands in the middle" and I put my hand out and hoped the others agree. Piplup put her out on top of mine and hope that shinx feels the same and when shinx turned around we felt sad that is until we saw shinx's tail on top of piplup's hand. "Shinx welcome to the team our first stop is Jubilife city that where a contest will be held. So; What do you say we come up with something for the preliminaries ok. "Pip-lup" "Raw-wr" both Pokémon said in agreement. "Alright Jubilife city here we come!" And off they went to Jubilife.
