"Do you guys know how to catch pokemon?" Kidetz asked the two girls.
"Well, our teacher taught us how to. I remember exactly how he said it," Jolly deepened her voice to imitate Ash senior's voice. "Use your pokemon attacks to weaken your target first. Once, you see that it is practically unable to move, throw an empty pokeball directly at it. If the pokemon is not that weak, it may still break out from the pokeball and escape." She returned to her normal voice, "I have the notes right here in my backpack." She patted the right pouch of her bag.
"We also did a practical exam on catching pokemon. We used my cousin who is also our teacher's pikachu to capture a bellsprout. I passed mine." Ash smiled and made a peace sign with her fingers. "But some of us weren't so lucky." She grinned at Jolly's direction.
Jolly scowled in return. "How was I supposed to know that the bellsprout could attack as well?"
"I never went to Pokemon School. Just regular school where they taught normal subjects. But I learnt my pokemon skills when I worked in Maple Laboratories after school every day. Anyways, I'm dying to catch more wild pokemon! I only have about fifty at the laboratory."
"Fifty? Consider yourself lucky. We have to start with nothing. There are a lot of nifty pokemon in caves and forests, right Kidetz? Are they violent or dangerous? My cousin always told me that most of them are usually willing to cooperate," Ash said.
"Well, why don't we find out by going into Cyan Cave?"
Without realizing it, the three travellers have already arrived at the entrance of Cyan Cave. They walked towards the half broken wooden sign that read 'DANGER!' in big bold red words.
Jolly examined the scratch marks. "No tame pokemon could have done this. I'm guessing that it's probably a Charizard or Feraligator, something with large claws. But I doubt Charizards live in areas like this. It's too wet and murky and feraligators need more water than this to survive," Jolly stated. "What do you guys think?"
"Ursaring." came Kidetz's weak voice as he took a step backwards.
"Yeah, I guess it could have been an Ursaring. They do live in places like these." Jolly touched the rotten planks on the sigh again.
"No! I mean there's an Ursaring right in front of you!" he screamed.
Ash and Jolly looked up only to realize they were staring at a ferocious looking bear-like pokemon known as the Ursaring. They jumped up and ran towards Kidetz.
"Jolly, please say you remember my cousin's lecture on how to tame an angry Ursaring or is there no such lecture at all?" Ash asked not taking her eyes off the pokemon that was probably going to end their journey. Heck, forget the journey. Their lives were at stake here.
Jolly grabbed her school notebook out of the pouch and scanned the pages slowly. "Oh for crying out loud. I'm going to fight that thing! Munchy, I choose you!" Kidetz summoned Munchy out of its pokeball. When Munchy was out and it saw the humongous shadow towering above it, Munchy just fainted.
"Good for nothing monkey," Kidetz cursed as Munchy went back into the pokeball. "I guess we only have one option."
"What's that?" Ash asked.
"RUN!!!"
But before they started running, they heard a loud shout, "Hai- yah!!!" They looked up and saw a boy flying out from behind the top of the cave.
