Chapter 4
A Solosis in the New Trio!
"So… you can understand Pokémon now?" Eddy asked, as the heroes walked through the bush bearing path to Striaton City, home of the first Gym in the Unova region
"Pretty much. Anything a Pokémon says, I can hear it as plain as English."
"That is so cool, Andrew!" Ed said in amazement.
"Help!" A Pokémon's voice cried out.
"Did you hear that?" Andrew asked.
"Yeah! It sounded like 'Solo!'" Ed said, mimicking the Pokémon's voice. Suddenly, a big green orb rammed into Andrew's arms.
"Help me! Help me!" The Pokémon cried, floating into the air.
"Cool!" Ed got out his Pokédex.
"Solosis, the Cell Pokémon. A membrane filled with fluid surrounds Solosis's body which allows it to live anywhere. It defeats its enemies using its formidable Psychic-type powers." Solosis has a small, pale-green blob-shaped inner body, with dot-like dark eyes, a red diamond shape that is seemingly the beginnings of a mouth. It also has a yellow growth that resembles the endoplasmic reticulum of a cell. All of this is encapsulated inside a darker green, rounded gel-like substance.
"Please help me." Solosis pleaded. "A terrible Pokémon is chasing me. Please help me, Trainer!"
"No problem, Solosis. I'd be happy to teach that Pokémon a thing or two."
"Thank- wait. You can understand every word I'm saying?"
"Well… yeah, I can. It's this gift I have that-"
"There you are weakling!" A Pokémon's voice called out. The Pokémon revealed itself from some nearby bushes.
"Okay! I'm gonna catch that Pokémon!" Eddy exclaimed. He turned on his Pokédex.
"Darumaka, the Zen Charm Pokémon. When asleep, even when pushed or pulled, it cannot be knocked over." Darumaka is a red, circular Pokémon. Above its eyes are yellow curly eyebrows and its face is orange. Three yellow ovals are on its abdomen and a curvy yellow line is on its back. Its paws are orange and have three digits each.
"Let's go, Pidove!" Pidove came out of Eddy's Pokéball. "Pidove, use Gust!" Pidove flapped its wings and a burst of wind sprang forth. Darumaka dodged the attack with ease. Darumaka then began charging up fire in his hands. Andrew realized what the attack was.
"Eddy, that's Incinerate Darumaka is prepping. Tell Pidove to dodge!"
"Pidove, what he said!" Pidove tried to dodge but Darumaka hit Pidove square in the chest. Pidove landed on the ground, fainting.
"Pidove, return!" Eddy recalled Pidove into its Pokéball. "Let's end this Snivy!" Eddy called out Snivy.
"Eddy, is this wise? Snivy is at a clear disadvantage."
"Shut up, Sockhead! Darumaka is mine! Snivy, use Vine Whip while using Wrap!" Snivy sent out its Vine Whip crying, "Take this!" The Vine Whip hit Darumaka and wrapped around it. It squeezed tightly all around Darumaka. Darumaka fainted in Snivy's grasp.
"Pokéball, go!" The Pokéball went flying, landing square on the head of Darumaka. The Pokéball with the contained Darumaka tilted three times then stopped.
"Aw, yeah! I just caught Darumaka!"
Solosis came out of the bushes and rushed to Andrew's arms. "Thank you so much, uh…"
"Andrew." Andrew greeted.
"Thank you so much, Andrew and friends!"
"No, problem Solosis."
"I… I have a favor to ask you."
"Yes?"
"I… wish to join you on your Pokémon journey. Please allow me to be your Pokémon, Andrew!"
"What's it saying, Andrew?" Double D asked.
"It's asking me if it can join me." Andrew replied.
"Let it." Eddy suggested. "I already have Darumaka on my side. It's only fair to let you have a new Pokémon."
"Yay!" Solosis cried with glee. "I won't let you down!"
Andrew got out an empty Pokéball and tapped it on Solosis' head. Solosis didn't resist so the Pokéball just stopped automatically.
"I caught a Solosis!" Andrew said gleefully. The heroes continued towards Striaton City, hoping to get their first Gym Badge.
