AUTHOR'S NOTE: Once again, this chapter is actually a combination of two other chapters because they were both short.
After a few more weeks of training, Ron's Charmander had finally evolved into a Charmeleon. Since they all had strong pokemon now, Harry, Ron, and Hermione decided to go catch a few more pokemon to add to their team. They all went into the forest together.
"What kind of pokemon are you interested in getting, Ron?" Hermione asked.
"I don't know yet," he replied, "but what are you going to get? It's not a good idea to have a team that's just water pokemon!"
"I already have a pretty good idea," Hermione said. "What are you going to look for, Harry?" she asked.
"I don't know, just whatever I find interesting," Harry replied. They continued walking through the forest and saw an Oddish.
"Wow!" Hermione exclaimed, "An Oddish! It can eventually evolve into Bellossom if you have a Sun Stone," she explained, "I'll catch it! Go Waterboy!" She threw a pokeball and Waterboy came out. He was a Wartortle now. "Use ice punch on it!" Hermione said. Waterboy used ice punch and Oddish took alot of damage and was frozen. Hermione pulled out an empty pokeball and threw it at Oddish. Oddish was caught!
"Wow!" Harry said, "You're really good at this, Hermione!"
"Thanks," Hermione replied. They continued walking and saw a Scyther.
"Wow! That pokemon looks tough! I'm gonna catch it!" Ron exclaimed. Scyther heard him and charged right at Harry, Ron, and Hermione. They all got out of the way, but Scyther kept chasing Hermione. She kept running and soon reached a dead end. Scyther slowly advanced on her until Ron sent out Charmeleon. "Charmeleon! Use flamethrower on Scyther!" he shouted. Charmeleon did and Scyther took alot of damage. He turned away from Hermione and faced Charmeleon and Ron. Hermione took this opportunity to get away from Scyther. Ron told Charmeleon to use ember and he did. Scyther was now very weak. Ron threw a pokeball and caught Scyther!
"Why did Scyther chase after me when you were the one who said you were going to catch it?" Hermione asked, still scared from the encounter with Scyther.
"I don't know," Ron replied, "but you provided an excellent distraction so Charmeleon could attack Scyther!" He laughed at this fact.
"That's not very funny Ron," Harry said, "Hermione could have gotten hurt."
"What? It's not my fault Scyther decided to go after Hermione instead of me!" Ron pointed out.
Harry, Ron, and Hermione continued walking through the forest so Harry could catch another pokemon. Harry caught a Pidgey. They were about to leave the forest when they heard something and saw a light coming from somewhere within the forest.
"What was that?" Hermione asked after hearing the noise.
"I don't know," Harry replied, "but whatever it was it's coming from over there."
"Let's go see," Ron suggested. The three friends followed the light.
"I know there's a light up ahead, but it's still too hard to see on this path," Hermione said. She took out her wand and said "Lumos!" A beam of light came out of her wand and helped light the path ahead. Harry and Ron did the same thing with their wands and continued walking. When they finally reached where the noise and the light was coming from, they could hardly believe what they were seeing. There was a small, green pokemon with tiny wings flying around in a clearing in the forest. Hermione gasped.
"What?" Harry asked.
"That's Celebi!" Hermione said, "It's one of the legendary pokemon Dumbledore mentioned at the beginning of the year! Not too many people have seen it up close before!"
"Cool!" Ron exclamed. Celebi heard him and got scared. It flew away.
"Ron! You scared it away!" Hermione shouted at him when Celebi left.
"Sorry," Ron apologized.
"Let's go back to the castle," Harry suggested, "It's getting late." The three of them left the forest and headed back to the castle.
