Disclaimer: I do not own Pokemon , I have made up the characters for this story. Note that real places in the world will be used.

Patrick, Meagan, Katie, and Emily were still traveling through the forest. It seemed that they were lost. Either way, they still had a long way to Las Vegas in order to reach their first gym.

They witnessed a lot of Pokemon while walking through the forest. "So, is there any Pokemon that seem to catch your interest?" Emily asked. "Not that we can think of." Meagan said. "Why don't we all split up and meet back here in about an hour, nobody wander far." Patrick said. "Okay." everyone said.

Patrick went one way, Meagan went another way, Katie went another way, and so did Emily. We follow Patrick into the forest where he hopes to find a Pokemon that he could use in battles. "Where can I find good Pokemon?" he questioned himself.

As Patrick was wondering through the woods, he spotted some Zigzagoons, Rattatas, Pidgeys, Hoothoots, Spearow, all different kind of Pokemon. Then Patrick found something that didn't seem to belong with the others. He found a strange Pokemon wandering around, he followed it to a nearby lake.

"Come on out, I know you're here." Patrick said out loud. He couldn't find it so he had to use one of his own Pokemon. "Come on out Sentret!" Patrick said throwing the Pokemon bringing out Sentret. Sentret came out standing on its tail. "Sentret, use Foresight, see if you can find a Pokemon." Patrick ordered.

So Sentret used Foresight, looked around the lake through the bushes, and there it spotted the exact Pokemon Patrick found. Sentret signaled Patrick to check the bushes. "Alright, lets go Sentret." Patrick said as he and Sentret ran for the bushes.

There Patrick found what appears to be a Ralts. "Looks like a Ralts. I wonder what it's doing here?" Patrick questioned himself. He took out the Pokemon Scanner and saw it was Ralts and it had a green light meaning it was wild.

"Yes, a wild Ralts. It's a Psychic type and my brother Max has an Abra which is also a Psychic type." Patrick said to himself. He wanted it badly so he could get a chance to counter Max's Abra if it got experience. Ralts had no where to run, all it use was Growl.

"So this one only knows Growl, but if I trained it a litte bit, I could give it some offensive attacks." Patrick explained to himself. "Sentret, use Scratch on that Ralts." Patrick commanded to his Sentret. Sentret used Scratch and Ralts had nothing to do but Growl. Sentret wasn't holding back as it delivered a nice Scratch attack on the wild Pokemon. Ralts was weakened enough to it to be caught in a Pokeball.

"Okay, good job Sentret. Now leave it to me. POKEBALL!" Patrick yelled out as he threw the Pokeball at the wild Ralts. Ralts was brought into the ball as it wiggled for about 15 seconds. The ball stopped wiggling meaning, he's done it.

Patrick and Sentret walk up to the Pokeball knowing they have a new ally. "Yes! Ralts is mine!" Patrick shouted in joy. After the celebration, Patrick brought it out of its Pokeball. Ralts came out and seemed so happy to meet Patrick.

"Hello Ralts, I'm your new master Patrick Schmidl, but just call me Patrick." he said to his newly caught Ralts. Sentret greeted the Ralts in a happy way. "Ralts, this is Sentret, he's going to be your new friend." Patrick happily said. Ralts was so very happy about getting a new friend.

Afterwards Patrick brought out his Treecko. "Hey Treecko, meet your new playmate." Patrick yelled out. Treecko came out of the ball and saw Sentret and Ralts, Treecko new Sentret, but didn't know Ralts. "Treecko, I want you to meet Ralts, I just captured him." Patrick explained. Treecko gave Ralts a friendly greeting as did Sentret. They all seemed to get along.

He let them play for a little while until he put them back in their balls. "Okay, playtime is over. I'm glad you all had fun, but we got to get going." Patrick said after putting them back in the balls. "I better return to the others." he said to himself. Patrick was on his way back to camp.
