Kudos if you reviewed 'n such.

Natalie immediately reached into her purse and brought out her pokedex.
'Pikachu: The Mouse Pokemon. It has small electric sacs on both its cheeks. If threatened, it looses electric charges from the sacs.'
"Wow! Neat!" Natalie said before she looked up at the pokemon. The pokemon cocked it's head curiously at her and blinked.
"Pika? Pika?"
"You're so cute!" Natalie giggled. Reaching into her bag, she brought the pokeball that contained Fire Mage and threw it. "Go! Fire Mage!"
"Frrrrgggh!" Fire Mage cried before he landed on all fours.
The pikachu seemed to sense that this trainer wanted to battle with her. The yellow pokemon jumped out of the tall grass and got into a fighting position.
"Fire Mage! Use ember!"
Fire Mage used ember on the pikachu.
"Pika!" the pikachu cried. Static suddenly appeared from it's red cheeks and it unleashed a thundershock on Fire Mage.
"FRAAAAAAAAAAAAGHHHH!" the fennekin cried as he was hit with at least a thousand bolts of electricity.
"Fire Mage!" Natalie cried. Fire Mage struggled to push himself up. But managed. "Quick! Use tackle!"
Fire Mage let out a quick cry before he tackled the pikachu. The tackle had sent the pikachu flying, causing her to hit a rock and faint. Natalie immediately brought out a pokeball and threw it at the pikachu. She and Fire Mage watched nervously as the ball rocked side-to-side. There was a ding and the ball stopped.
"WHOO HOO!" Natalie cheered as she fist pumped, "I caught a pikachu!"
Fire Mage yipped happily. He then let out a surprised bark when his trainer suddenly scooped him up and hugged him tightly. "I couldn't have done it without you, Fire Mage." Natalie said, her eyes glittering.
"Yip!" Fire Mage yipped happily.
Natalie placed her fennekin down and went over to pick up the pokeball that contained her pikachu. "I'm going to call you Lilith, now." she said.
"Frgh?" Fire Mage tilted his head questionablely.
"I think Lilith sounds cute." Natalie giggled before she placed the pokeball in her purse. "You deserve a good rest, return." she then returned her fennekin to its pokeball.

Mrs. Dane sighed softly as she finished washing her plate. She quickly peeked out her kitchen window and smiled when she saw her Ryhorn sleeping peacefully on it's blanket.
"Chirp chirp?" her fletchling chirped worriedly when it landed on the counter.
Mrs. Dane sighed. "I'm alright, Fletchy. I'm just worried about Natalie."
"Chirp..."
There was a vibrating sound that suddenly took both of them by surprise. Fletchy nearly fell off the counter when it happened. It was coming from the Holo Caster that she had on the table. She frantically dashed over and answered it.
"Natalie?!" she gasped.
"Hi mom!" the holographic image of Natalie replied, "Sorry I didn't call you sooner."
"It's alright, dear." Mrs. Dane chuckled, "Where are you now?"
"I'm at the pokemon center in Santalune City. I just caught my first pokemon!"
"Oh? And who's that?"
"A pikachu I named Lilith." Natalie replied before she picked up her pikachu to show her. "Say hi to my mom, Lilith!"
"Pika! Pika!" Lilith greeted happily.
"Frrrrghh!" Fire Mage greeted as well.
"And that's my partner Fire Mage!"
"It's a pleasure to meet you both." Mrs. Dane replied with a smile.
"I got to go now mom, I need to prepare for my first gym battle tomorrow." Natalie said.
"Oh. Well be sure to tell me how things play out in the end." Mrs. Dane said.
"I will." Natalie said, "Love you mom. Bye." and the holo call ended.
Mrs. Dane sighed softly. Fletchy immediately flew over and perched on her shoulder, chirping in concern. "Oh, Fletchy, they grow up so fast." she sighed fondly. She then made her way over to a small family photo of her late husband, an infant Natalie, and herself that was present on the wall. "It feels like only yesterday she just called me mama..."
...
That night, Natalie found herself unable to sleep right away. She looked over to the other bed where her pikachu and fennekin were already curled up and fast asleep. The site looked rather cute. She was very happy that the two were getting along great. She rolled over until her back was facing them and she was looking out the window outside. Only a few lights remained on in the small city. But she didn't mind though.
Truthfully, Natalie never liked the dark much. It's why she still slept with a night light in her room back home. Of course that was one of the many secrets she kept from others. Feeling that they would make fun of her if they did find out. But as for Calem, Trevor, Tierno, and Shauna... They seem alright. They're easy to talk to and trust. Which is why she's grateful to have met them outside her doorstep that one morning.
She didn't have many friends back in Kanto. Back in her home town, Pallet Town, she either stayed inside and kept to herself or helped the processor out in his lab. It was fun spending time with the pokemon there. Along with the family ryhorn. Perhaps it would explain why she's so good with pokemon. Particularly younger ones.
A small smile appeared on her lips as she started to doze off into a peaceful sleep. Feeling excited about her first gym battle. What's it going to be like? What kind of trainer the gym leader is? What kind of pokemon do they use?
Oh! The thrill of it all.

Yep. I easily won my first battle thanks to Fire Mage.
