Part 6

We are still walking in the forest. I am really not interested in the bug pokemon, they level up

and evolve too fast for my taste. I do see Pidgies and Spearow, but none are coming down enough

to catch. I let Michiko out, and was carrying her. I actually didn't mind putting up with the

500 questions she seemed to have every 5 minutes. I was too happy. Chan was walking next to me

as always.

"Ariana, what's that?"

"A tree Michiko. Why? You have seen plenty of them."

"Not that, in the tree. The weird birdie thing."

I look up, and sure enough, there is something in the tree. I put Michiko down, and then pull

out my pokedex.

**Natu: a psychic pokemon. It hops to get around and can always be found staring at something**

"A psychic, huh? That could be fun." I look at Chan, who is also looking up at it.

"Think you can get it down?"

"With or without killing the tree?"

"I would prefer without."

"Here goes nothing"

"Michiko, you better stay in your pokeball for a while, OK?"

"K."

Chan goes up to the tree. The Natu is staring at him. When Chan punches the tree, it

falls out, but catches itself before it hits the ground. Chan whirls around. I notice the

Natu's eyes glowing.

"Chan!! Brace for a psychic attack!!"

"Ready"

Natu lets loose with a psybeam. Chan is able to withstand it, but it does cause some

heavy damage.

"Chan, Thunderpunch!"

Chan throws the strongest thunderpunch I have ever seen him give. The Natu wobbles a

bit, but somehow is still able go give Chan the "Evil Eye".

"Chan, Back!" As Chan backs off, I take one of my empty pokeballs and throw it at Natu.

It is sucked in, and the ball starts shaking. Both me and Chan are holding our breath to see if

it will escape. Then the ball stops moving and the lock takes hold.

"YES!" I got it. I can't believe it. Chan seems pretty happy too.

"We should let Michiko out again."

"Your right." I take Michiko's pokeball out and open it.

"All over now?"

"Yes."

"New friend?"

"We should let that Natu out so there are no hard feelings."

"OK."

I open Natu's pokeball. It appears, and looks a little shy. Michiko walks up to it.

"No worry, we not hurt birdie."

" 'Birdie'?" Natu looks confused. "Where is your mommy? Your trainer shouldn't have

taken you away from her."

"Mommy 'dead'. That is when they don't wakie no more." It took me almost 5 hours to

finally explain what "dead" means to her.

"Oh. Sorry."

"Why? You no make mommy dead."

"I like you. What is your name?"

"Ariana call me Michiko. It mean 'beautiful child'. She think I beautiful." Doesn't

take much to make her happy. Meanwhile Chan looks ready to puke. Natu sees this, then looks at

me.

"What is wrong with him?"

"Chan isn't big on mushy stuff, and he defines that pretty broadly."

"I can hypnotise him if you want."

"No thanks. I need an excuse to yell."

"HEY!"

"That woke you up didn't it. Now be nice."

"Whatever."

"Ariana?"

"Yes Michiko?"

"What birdie name?"

"Most trainers I've seen just use species name."

"But that has no true meaning." I pull out the laptop again. "First thing I need to know

is gender."

"Male."

"Hey! The girls don't outnumber me anymore!" Chan seems so happy.

"Well, if that is how you think, I will just have to get a few more girls, won't I?" The

only response to this is a groan. "Now, let's see, how about Caelestis?"

"What is that?"

"A Latin name meaning 'of the sky'."

"I like that one. OK."

"Then that is what it is."

"Hey Ariana! Look over there!" Chan points further ahead. I look and see exactly

where we are. The whole city of Pewter is laid out in front of us. Time to get my first badge.

"Everyone ready?"

"Baby no fightie."

"Don't worry Michiko. I won't make you fight."

"Thankie."

We head off into the city. Here goes nothing!
