well, it was almost nightfall by the time Ari and Kira reached the end of the Viridean Forest, and Ari still didn't know how to get home. she knew she might not be abe to take Kira with her, and she would have to find a kind trainer with a good heart. as she walked through the plains and grassland with Kira close behind her, she saw something moving in the brush. eventually, she tripped on it. "Kiki! a little help, please." they had been on the road for several days, now, and had survived off the berries Ari had bought as healing items, but hadn't had to use. Kira helped Ari to her feet. "what was that?!" Kira gave her a look that said plainly "how am i supposed to know?!" They took a closer look, and it turned out to be.... A pikachu! "pika pika... chu...." "C'mon, Kira, let's catch it!" "myru!" Kiki agreed.Kira hit it with a low energy blast, enough to weaken it most of the way. "okay, Kiki, now it's my turn!" Ari then detached the pokeball from her belt, and tossed it at the Pikachu. nothing happened. "okay..." she picked the pokeball back up and tried again. still, nothing happened. then she noticed the button on the ball. she tried pressing it. the ball cracked open slightly and got a bit warm. okay, she thought, i can do this... she threw it at the pikachu. the pikachu was engulfed in a strange light and sucked into the pokeball. the button turned red. then it turned back to white. "that means it is inside and we... uh... caught it, right, Kira?" Kira gave her that same look that meant "how am i supposed to know?!" Ari walked over to the pokeball cautiously. "I think we got it..." Ari let the Pikachu out of the ball. "hi there, my name is Ari, and this is Kikira. how are you?" the pikachu gave her a look. "awww, come on, Was it something I said?" "pika" the pikachu said. Ari noted that the pikachu, like Kiki, was also a girl. "what should we call you?" The pikachu gave her another look. then Ari thought of something. "hey, why dont you two have matching names...? I'll call you Kiara." the pikachu looked up. at least this person is friendly, whoever she is... she thought. maybe it wont be so bad after all, traveling with a trainer. Kiara smiled and hopped up onto Ari's shoulder. maybe this wouldnt be so bad...

Another day passed, and Ari had caught a new pokemon. I'm not saying what it is until next chapter, though.

okay, so it isnt that good yet. this is gonna be a really long story, and it wont be all that good until i get all the charicters in. reviews, please!
