AN: Here is the next episode! I would have had all this up earlier, but I lost my notebook for part of Season 1 again then I found it. I know…sad. Since this one and Friends Until the End are my more series based I'm going to try and update more often. Anyway, here is the next episode!

Episode 11: Shocking Catches!
As the group of friends walked the path of Route 32 in order to get to Azalea Town they talked. They normally did. The subject was the town they were heading to which was the sight of the next Pokémon Contest and Gym. The contest was in about a little over a week so they were ahead of schedule. Chasen wasn't too concerned about the gym; it wasn't going anywhere.
"You're on your own for this one Alyssa," Chasen told her blonde friend.
"What do you mean?" Alyssa asked.
"I won't be competing in the next contest," Chasen explained.
"Why?" Alyssa asked in kind of a whine. Alyssa wanted Chasen to compete so she would have a chance to beat her.
"She probably doesn't to pressure you and plus she already won a ribbon. They'll be other contest and Chasen needs to focus on her gym battle. Right Chay?"
"Right." Chasen agreed.
"What do you say we stop or lunch?" Domino asked.
"Okay!"
As the other two got out the blanket and Pokémon food Domino searched her bag for their lunch. Domino or one of the others usually makes meals at the center before they leave. They have food with them, just this made traveling easier. Sometimes the meals were pre-prepared and others they just needed to be combined. Right now, Domino couldn't find any of it.
"I know I packed it…" Domino voiced to herself.
Domino tips her bag and begins to pull out sorts of items. She carelessly tosses them to ground and a Poké Ball rolls a little way landing near a bush. A Pokémon then inched out of the bush and looked at the strange device. She put her nose to it and accidently touched it. The ball enlarged and opened. A red light came out and enveloped the Pokémon pulling her inside. The ball shook and then stopped successfully capturing the Pokémon.
"Problem Domino?" Chasen asked.
"Found it!" Domino pulling out the containers that had their lunch inside. "Oh I dropped these." Domino leaned down and picked up her dropped items. She placed the ball on her belt and patted it. "I'll need this later."
Domino had been thinking about catching another Pokémon for a while. She only had Aera and they were getting along nicely. Aera had accepted her as her trainer. Domino was ecstatic about it, but still a tiny voice told her, 'what did she have to give as a trainer?' She didn't compete in contest or gym battles. She did know that this was the part of her journey to find out where she belonged.
"Domino! Let Chasen handle lunch and come battle me!" Alyssa said wanting to prepare for her contest.
"Why not battle me?" Chasen asked kind of offended. "Aria could use practice too."
"So does Aera." Alyssa countered.
"Touché." Chasen said knowing the Pidgey didn't need to be cooped up in her ball all the time. Also Aera had a battle ready attitude and it had been a while since her last one. For such reason Chasen surrendered and let Domino battle the coordinator.
"Let's go Solar!" Alyssa said calling out her starter.
"Chika!"
"Go Aera!"
"Perderrr!" she cried in a sing song voice. Chasen smiled. Domino was good for Aera. She became more relaxed and mellowed out. Chasen believed under her care Aera would still be ruthless.
"We'll start with Razor Leaf!"
"Gust!"
"Counter with Gust!"
"Tackle!"
"Quick Attack!" Both Pokémon collided with each and bounced off before wanting to get right back in.
"Razor Leaf!"
Aera flies out of the way and the grass type move continue on hitting a bush. They hear a cry and everyone stops. A Mareep comes out a little dizzy and angry. The Mareep shakes her head and glares at the trainers and the Pokémon who attacked her.
"Meep!" she cried as attacked with a Thunder Shock.
"Watch out!"
"Why? I'm gonna catch it!" Domino said going up to challenge the electric type.
"Aera Gust!" Aera attacked and caused more damage. Already Domino could see the Pokémon already was tired. She didn't look very strong and already took damage from the Razor Leaf. "Go Poké Ball!" Domino tossed her ball and instead of it hitting Mareep it opened and white flash came out a Caterpie.
"Pee!" she cried.
"What?!" everyone cried.
"When did you catch a Caterpie?" Alyssa asked.
"I didn't…wait a minute!" Domino said as she thought about earlier when she sorted through her bag. "I found one of my Poké Balls earlier by a bush. She might have accidently gotten caught."
"Caterpie!" Caterpie cheered as she went to Domino and rubbed up against her leg.
"She likes you and doesn't mind being caught." Alyssa cooed.
"Speaking of caught, if someone doesn't catch the Mareep, it's going to get away." Chasen interrupted.
"I want it!" Alyssa said.
"Chika!" Solar said using Razor Leaf without a command. Someone obviously was going to capture the electric type and if it got away they wouldn't hear the end of it.
"Go for it." Domino said as she was now holding her new Caterpie. Wasn't exactly as she planned, but she got another Pokémon. Caterpie was adorable and she was a sweetheart. She warmed up to her really quick. The reason why Domino didn't know it was because she patted her Poké Ball. Made her feel welcomed and the acceptance in finding out made it better for the bug type.
"Go Poké Ball!" Alyssa cried tossing a ball of her own after she battled the electric sheep. The ball bounced off the Pokémon and opened to capture the Pokémon. Mareep went inside and ball landed on the ground and begun to shake. One. Two. Three. Click! "I got Mareep!"
Alyssa ran up and grabbed her new Pokémon and held it close. She jumped up and down happily that she caught her. It was so unexpected, but Alyssa could feel it was worth it. Mareep would be a great addition to their team. Contest would be awesome with her now.
"Go Amphia!" Alyssa said calling out her Pokémon by her nickname.
"Meep!" she wool covered Pokémon cried.
"Amphia, I'm sorry we accidently attacked you and hope we'll be great friends."
"Fee!" she cried happily.
"Are you giving Caterpie a nickname?" Chasen asked Domino.
"Of course. Her name is Cho." Domino said petting her new Pokémon on the head. Caterpie cooed as she was petted.
Chasen smiled as her friends gushed over their new Pokémon. Alyssa had three and Domino had two now. Their teams were growing by the day in both numbers and strength. So was her own. Every day was something to look forward to. That was what was so great about traveling with friends. You experienced their journeys as well.
"I'm winning my next contest for sure!" Alyssa said as Amphia was excited about performing.
"You better."
AN: Sorry this is short, but I might post the next one or few after this since I have my notebook I have to make up for lost time. Anyway, Amphia and Cho have joined the teams! Hope you've enjoyed it and will leave a review, favorite, and/or follow! Bye and have an awesome day!
Preview: After an attack in Union Cave Chasen is separated from her friends. Her life is in danger as it seems only her Pokémon can watch as she appears to be fading. It seems only one Pokémon can help her. The question is, will he be able to? And what about the others and rampaging Pokémon on the loose?
