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 9: Hello Skitty

As I started heading south from Rustboro City, I noticed the Scientist run up to me. "Thank goodness I caught up with you. I forgot to tell you how to get to Dewford Town. As Mr Stone mentioned, it's situated on Dewford Island. We have contacted our good friend Mr Briney to sail you over on his boat. Meet him on Route 104."

I was back in Petalburg Forest, still as dense as before. But this time I was stronger, plus this time it was a straight path down.

Just then, I spotted a small pink Pokémon with a long tail.

Skitty

061

Normal Type

Kitten Pokémon

2'00" (0.6 m)

24.3 lbs (11 kg)

Skitty has the habit of becoming fascinated by moving objects and chasing them around. This Pokémon is known to chase after its own tail and become dizzy.

The Skitty looked upset. It was probably lost. I knelled down and petted it. It was sad.

I decided to stay with Skitty and wait for its Trainer. I sent out Taillow and Dustox to search from the air whilst the rest of the Pokémon played with it. Seedot especially seemed to get on very well with it. It liked climbing onto Skitty's tail and then jumping off of it. Upon further inspection, I saw Seedot was starting to crack. I was starting to become concerned. That was enough.

Seedot seemed hesitant though. It climbed onto Skitty one more time and with all its might, jumped off. As it fell to the ground, a white light blinded me. When the light died down, the Seedot shell was in two. I grabbed the shells, scared. In Seedot's place though was a brown Pokémon with a leaf on its head.

Nuzleaf

023

Grass/Dark Type

Wily Pokémon

3'03" (1 m)

61.7 lbs (28 kg)

Nuzleaf live in densely overgrown forests. They occasionally venture out of the forest to startle people. This Pokémon dislikes having its long nose pinched.

Seedot -Lv 14 Nuzleaf

At that point, Taillow and Dustox flew back with a small girl. "Skitty!" Skitty hopped on over. "Thank you for looking after it" she said. "We got lost in this forest. I should really keep Skitty in its Pokeball from now on." She returned it.

Shortly afterwards, I emerged from the forest and got to Mr Briney's shack. "Yar you must be Brendan" he said. "I would love to get you over, but alas my boat is in repair. It will be ready tomorrow though."

I decided to stay in Petalburg that night and have a catch up with Dad. "Son this is amazing! You have a Badge now!" He smiled. "But you are still 4 more away from challenging me."
