Pokemon The Journey RS

by Penguinja

Brendan Seaview finds himself whisked of to the Hoenn region, known for it's vast nature, after his Dad Norman becomes a Gym Leader. Whilst not too keen on the move, he finds that there is a lot to like about this new world. However, the world's ecosystem is under threat, and Hoenn looks to be the epicentre of this disaster. Can Brendan and his new friends save the world?

Chapter 4: Taillow to my heart

It was time to head out, but first I wanted to say goodbye to Dad. But when I got to the Gym, he wasn't there. "He's a little busy" said the janitor of the Gym. "You don't need to say goodbye. He wishes you all the luck he can."

I guess the Janitor was right. So after some preparations, I headed out.

Route 104. I could see the sea here. The salty air is something nobody ever gets bored of.

I walked into the tall grass and encountered a Pokémon. A black flying Pokémon.

Taillow

025

Normal/Flying Type

TinySwallow Pokémon

1'00" (0.3 m)

5.1 lbs (2.3 kg)

Taillow courageously stands it ground against foes, however strong they may be. This gutsy Pokémon will remain defiant even after a loss. On the other hand, it cries loudly if it becomes hungry.

Mudkip was sent out. It used Tackle on Tailow and Taillow came back with Peck. Mudkip had taken it down enough, so a Pokeball was thrown. After some shaking, I caught it!

Pleased, I sent out everyone to say hello to Taillow. There was one problem though. Taillow had its eyes on Wurmple. Taillow flew over and I stopped it. I told Taillow that Wurmple is its friend, not its lunch.

Walking along, I encountered a Rich Boy. "Hey, Mr Brendan? My name is Winston. Can I battle you?" Well, of course I could. This would be a good time to try out Taillow.

"Go Zigzagoon!" Winston shouted as I sent out Taillow. "Zigzagoon! Use Tackle!" Zigzagoon charged into Taillow. Taillow used Peck and, er, pecked at Zigzagoon. "Tackle it again Zigzagoon!" Zigzagoon did just that. I decided to recall Taillow.

I sent out Mudkip. Mudkip used Tackle on Zigzagoon, and it was knocked out!

"Thanks for the battle!" Winston told me. "You clearly know a lot about Pokemon, but you won't know a lot about Petalburg Forest" he said, pointing to a large forest.

I knew where I was going tomorrow.
