Manuel's POV

We made our way into a forest area. Ash suggestested a shortcut, so we took it. Unfortunately, instead of shortening the time needed, the path we took actually seems to make it a bit longer.

We were walking nonstop for a while. Ash leads the way saying"Don't worry I'm positive this way will lead us back to the path."

Positive, huh?

Brock, said.

That's what you said an hour ago. I'm tired.

Misty said with a hint of being annoyed.

If you just let me lead the way, we wouldn't have gotten lost like this.

Misty said.

Who says we're lost?

Ash asked.

Alright, you two, break it up. We're lost, and have to look for a way out.

I said, effectively ending the arguenent.

Alright, now that that's settled, we have to rest for now. We've been walking for a bit too long.

Serena said.

I guess we should.

Said Ash, who sat down on a rock.

But before we could all sit down, Ash saw a Pokemon, an Oddish to be exact. Ash being Ash, he decides to capture it.

Hold it.

Said Misty.

No way, Misty, saw it first.

Ash said.

But we found it around the water, and water is my specialty.

Misty argued.

Realizing it was in trouble, Oddish tries to flee. But before it could, Misty already threw a Poke Ball.

Go, Starmie!

She yelled , sending the purple Pokemon out. Starmie then when in front of Oddish.

Starmie, Water Gun.

Misty commanded, directly hitting the Weed Pokemon.

Misty threw an empty Poke Ball. But, it was intercepted by something, causing it to go back to her direction.

What's that?

Ash asked.

Wow, it's a Bulbasaur.

Ash said with obvious intent to capture the Seed Pokemon. He immediately scanned Bulbasaur using his Pokedex.

Bulbasaur, the Seed Pokemon.

It bears the seed of a plant on its back from birth. The seed slowly develops Reseachers are unsure wheither to classify Bulbasaur as a plant or animal.

Bulbasaur are incredibly tough, and can be very difficult to capture in the wild.

I heard the Pokedex say.

Bulbausaur then tackled Starmie, dealing a considerable amount of damage.

Oh, no. Starmie, are you altight?

Misty asked worriedly before calling Starmie back using her Poke Ball.

We have to go now if we really want that Bulbasaur.

I said. Ash nodded immediately, confirming that he really want to go after Bulbasaur with the rest of us following behind.

Eventually, we found a bridge connected to the main road.

Hold on.

I said, stopping the group..

What's wrong, Manuel?

Serena asked.

Look there.

I said, point at the problem.

I see the ropes has some cuts.

Brock said.

Exactly. We have to find a way to get across without crossing the bridge..

We were there simply thinking.

That's it!

I said as the idea came.

Come on out, Charizard.

I said as I threw the Poke Ball.

The dragon-like Pokemon roared loudly.

Alright, buddy. We need your help.

I said. Charizard then nodded, approving my request for help.

The plan is simple. We'll ride on Charizard's back across the bridge one by one.

I explained.

As long as we reach our destination, that's what really counts.

Said Ash.

Everybody agreed.

Just a heads up, Chraizard doesn't like to be touched around his wiings. If you really need to, just put some pressure on his back.

I said.

The plan went well. After that though, we had a long walk of just nothing. Or so it seemed.

Greninja, what's wrong?

I asked. Strangely enough, Greninja got out of his Poke Ball. This isn't the fumirst time this happened. There's danger up ahead.

The Frog Ninja Pokemon didn't even give me a form of response. Instead, he charged towards the trees revealing several nets.

Brock got closer to one of the nets.

It looks like this was a trap.

Brock said.

Why do you think people would put traps around here?

Serena asked.

There are only two types of people that would put traps like this.

I said.

The poachers, and some people simply trying to protect other peiple and Pokemon.

I explained.

With Greninja's help we avoided all the traps. Eventualy, we found a cab
