We had
camped by the edge of the forest last night, and now it was the start of a brand new
day. A brand new day of adventures and excitement. A brand new day of... walking. I
sighed at the thought. My paws were so tired from walking all the way to find a
suitable campsite yesterday, I didn't want to walk anymore.
'Well, let's get going again; we've got alot of ground to cover today.' Melanie told me
and Star as she packed up her sleeping back.
'Can I stay in my pokeball today, Mel?' I asked her. All that came out was a bunch of
squeaks. Melanie understood though.
'Sure, no problem.' She winked at me and held my pokeball for me. I tapped the little
button on the front with my nose and a red light sucked me inside. That was better. I'd
still get to where we were going, but I didn't have to move a muscle! By pokeball, the
only way to travel.
(P.O.V Change)
'Lazy...' I muttered jokingly, placing Bindi's pokeball back on my belt. I turned to
Star, my new pokemon.
'How about you? Want to take the relaxing way?' I asked her. Star shook her head
furiously.
'Cleffa clef!' She piped. Maybe she wasn't too used to the pokeball yet.
'Okay. You can ride on my shoulder.' I offered to pick her up. Star jumped on my arm
and scrambled up onto my shoulder.
We'd walked for only about half an hour when it happened. We saw a wild pokemon!
A Pidgey was looking for worms by the side of the path. I was careful not to get too
close, or we might scare it away. I held up my pokedex to find out some info on it.
Star looked at the pokedex from her perch on my shoulder.
'Pidgey.' The pokedex's mechanical voice spoke. 'The Tiny Bird pokemon. They are
very common in many grassy areas. Pidgey are a popular target for beginning trainers.'
'Wow.' I commented. 'It's our lucky day.' I started to reach for Bindi's pokeball, then
I noticed Star.
'Are you up for a battle?' I asked her. She thought for a moment.
'Clef fa fa (I'll give it a try).' She answered nervously. 'Cleffa clef clef (wish me luck).'
She jumped from my shoulder to the ground. I smiled at her.
'You don't need it.' I told her, trying to build her confidence. The Pidgey suddenly
noticed us, and turned to face us. I knew they didn't like fighting. The Pidgey flew into
the air and flapped his tiny wings, picking up sand from the path. The whirlwind of dirt
flew towards Star.
'Defense Curl!' I called to Star. She immeadiately rolled into a ball, and the Sand
Attack passed over her harmlessly. The Pidgey could see we meant business, and he
started to fly away.
'Stop him, Star! Use Sing!' I shouted to my Cleffa. She nodded and took a deep
breath. She started to sing. Her voice sounded so tiny when she talked, her singing
surprised me.
'Cleff cleff cleffaa clef clef fa faa.' She sang. She continued singing like this, and the
Pidgey stopped flying away. He instead fell back to the ground, looking extremely
worn out and tired. His eyes were half closed, but he didn't want to give up. He
jumped into the air and started fying. He hit Star with a Tackle attack, stopping her
singing. Star bounced backwards, but jumped to her feet straight away. This match
was heating up.
'Pound!' I called to Star. She ran towards the Pidgey while he was still in reach. When
she was close enough, she jumped at him and smacked him in the face. She fell to the
ground.
'Rollout!' I shouted. Star curled up in a ball again, but this time she started rolling. She
rolled at Pidgey at incredibly speed for such a little pokemon. He was picked up by the
force and hurled into a tree. He slid to the ground, almost fainted. He looked too weak
to go on. Now was my chance. I grabbed an empty pokeball from my belt and threw it
at Pidgey.
'Pokeball, Go!' I shouted. The ball was heading for Pidgey, and I thought for a second
that I was surely going to get my third pokemon. This wasn't going to happen though.
'Pidgeeeee!' He shouted, jumping with all his might and flapping his tiny wings. The
pokeball hit the tree where he had been sitting.
'Whoa...' This little Pidgey was sure putting up a good fight.
'Pidgeeee!!' He shouted again. He started glowing.
'No way!' I gasped. The Pidgey changed shape and stopped glowing. He was now a
Pidgeotto.
'Cleffaa.' Star said, worried. This battle was going to be tough for her now. She turned
towards me and ran, hiding behind my leg.
'No problem, Star.' I told her. Bindi would be able to handle him. I grabbed her
pokeball. I knew she didn't have any experience in battle, but she could do it.
'Let's go, Bindi!' I called, tossing her ball in the air. She came out in a white light.
'Vu vu (what now)?' She asked me.
'Battle time.' I stated. She looked up at the Pidgeotto.
'Think you can handle him?'
'Vuii (know it).'
'Well then, Quick Attack!' Bindi put on a burst of speed. She jumped at one tree,
bouncing to another one. She got as high as she could, then jumped up at the
Pidgeotto. He moved as he saw her coming, and she didn't get a hit in. She grabbed
out quickly, holding onto his leg. She didn't want to fall from this height.
'Pidgeot!' He yelled angrily, pecking at Bindi with his sharp beak. Bindi still wasn't
going to let go.
'Vuii!' She yelled as he continued pecking at her.
'Bindi!' I yelled, worried for my friend. 'Focus Energy!' Bindi glowed brightly. She
was powering up. The Pidgeotto was shocked, and he shook his leg violently, trying to
get her away.
'Tackle!' I called. Pulling all her strength together, Bindi pushed herself up and
rammed Pidgeotto in the stomach with her head. He was winded and he dropped
altitude.
'Tackle!' I caled again. Bindi jumped up and hit Pidgeotto towards the ground with
her shoulder. He slammed to the ground with the force of the attack. Bindi landed next
to him on her feet. Pidgeotto got up slowly.
'Bite!' I shouted to Bindi. She raced towards her opponent again, latching onto his
wing with her jaws.
'Pidgee!' He shouted, surprised. He shook Bindi off by flapping his wings. He floated
into the sky again.
'Keep him on the ground!' I told Bindi. He had the advantage when he was up high.
She used Sand Attack to blind him and he came back to the ground. After such a long
battle, Pidgeotto still wasn't giving up.
'Let's finish this!' I called to Bindi. 'Use your strongest attack!' Bindi didn't have to
think about it. She glowed for a second, focusing her power again. She then sped
towards Pidgeotto. She slammed him into another tree with a super strong
Take-Down. He slupped down and fainted.
'Yes!' I exclaimed. Just the pokeball now. I picked the pokeball I had used before off
my belt again and tossed it at the fainted bird pokemon.
'Go, Pokeball!' I shouted. This time the ball hit Pidgeotto and he was sucked inside in
a red light. The ball shook once, then was still.
'Yes!' I ran over to the tree and grapped the ball. 'I caught Pidgeotto!' I cheered.
'Vuiii!' Bindi chorused. I picked her up and gave her a hug.
'You're the best, Bindi!' I cheered. I felt a tap on my leg, and I looked down to see
Star.
'Cleff...' She said quietly, obviously disappointed that she couldn't do more in the
battle. I placed Bindi on the ground and picked Star up instead.
'You were great too.' I told her. 'You'll have another chance to battle, don't worry.'
'Clef clef!' She chirpped. I laughed.
'We should continue to the League.' I told my two pokemon. 'Pidgeotto needs a
Pokemon Center, so do you guys.' I smiled.
'Plus, it's probably more comfortable to stay at the Center than i is to sleep on the
ground!'
My pokemon agreed.
'Let's go then!'
