"Attack! Pokedex entry"

Chapter 4

Bug Forest

Viridian Forest, otherwise known at the Bug Forest. A forest that is known for its large amount of Bug Pokemon. Many Bug Pokemon Trainers spend their time here to catch the Bug Pokemon to have on their teams come from all over the world.

"Ah! We're finally moving forward!" shouted Naruto

"I don't think you should shout like that, Naruto-kun," Hinata says

"Why's that, Hinata?"

"Becase Viridian Forest is known for having a large amount of Beedrill around this time of year,"

"Beedrill?" Naruto looks around at the trees, "Don't they normally stay in the deeper parts of the forest though?"

"My Mom said that around this time of year the Beedrills are more active because the Kakuna are fixing to evolve,"

"I think I remember my Mom saying something like that too. Well let's not go too deep into the forest." said Naruto.

It didn't take long before they come across two wild Pokemon fighting each other. A wild Pidgey is attacking a wild Caterpie. Though something caught Naruto's eye as the Caterpie is a different color.

"A Shiny!" Naruto shouted out.

Just like Naruto shouted out the Caterpie is gold color and not the normal green color it is. Acting quickly Naruto throws out a Pokeball which released Kurama.

Hinata looks at Naruto, "This is the perfect time to train and catch some Pokemon! Hinata throw out Shirayuri to get some training in for this. I'll deal with the Pidgey and you deal with the Caterpie,"

"R- Right!" says Hinata before she throws out Shirayuri

"Kurama use Quick Attack!" Naruto yelled out.

Kurama runs out and towards the Pidgey while leaving a white trail behind him. Out of the corner of Naruto's eye he caught Hinata throwing out Shirayuri. Naruto made Hinata battle the Caterpie because Shirayuri will have a difficult time battling a bug type since the Bulbasaur is a grass type.

"Uh… Shirayuri use Tackle!" Hinata commands her Bulbasaur.

Shirayuri slams into the Caterpie. The Caterpie slides back before shooting String Shot at Hinata's Pokemon. Shirayuri panics since this is her first battle.

"Shirayuri!" the pale eyed girl shouted out.

Shirayuri rams Caterpie with its eyes spinning around. Hinata takes out a Pokeball and throws it at the Caterpie. Red energy comes out of the Pokeball which surrounds the Caterpie and has the red energy returns back to the Pokeball. The Pokeball itself rocks and shacks back and forth. Then there was a ping which showed that the Caterpie has been caught.

"I did it!" jumping with the victory and capturing her first Pokemon.

Kurama uses Quick Attack which rams the Pidgey. Pidgey hits the tree behind it though it isn't out of the fight yet. Pidgey flies up and flaps its wings using Gust. Kurama slides back from the force of Gust.

"Ember!"

Kurama spits out small flames at Pidgey who is hit by the flames. The Bird Pokemon lands on back on the ground.

"Quick Attack!"

Pidgey crashes into a tree and Naruto quickly takes out a Pokeball and throws it. Red energy comes out of the Pokeball which surrounds the Pidgey and has the red energy returns back to the Pokeball. Naruto waits for the Pokeball to stop shacking with a ping.

"Yes! caught my first Pokemon!"

"That's great, Naruto-kun!" Hinata says to the blonde

Turning to his partner, "You caught your first Pokemon too, Hinata! C'mon, lets see our new friends!"

Hinata throws out her new Pokemon; Caterpie stares at its new trainer. Hinata remembers what Naruto said about using the Pokedex. She takes out her Pokedex and points it at her new Caterpie.

"Caterpie; the Worm Pokemon. It's easy to catch, and it grows quickly, making it one of the top recommendations for notice Pokemon Trainers."

"Why is this Caterpie a different color then the one on the Pokedex?" Hinata asked her friend

"I think this Caterpie is a Shiny just like Kurama. When we get back we should let Kaa-san to look at your Caterpie. By the way, what are you going to be calling it?"

Hinata kneels down to her Caterpie. She looks at her Caterpie before said Pokemon moves over to her hand. Hinata pets Caterpie before smiling.

"I'll call you, Ichi for being my first Pokemon that I've caught," Ichi liking her new name rubs Hinata's hand, "Naruto, what are you going to call your new Pokemon?"

"Hmm," the redhead looks at the Pokeball before throwing the ball and releasing the Pokemon.

Pidgey looks around before eying Ichi, but Hinata qucikly grabs Ichi to hide her. Naruto takes out his Pokedex.

"Pidgey, the Tiny Bird Pokemon. Pidgey has an extremely sharp sense of direction. It is capable of unerringly returning home to its nest, however far it may be removed from its familiar surroundings."

"Windster will be your name." Windster stares at Naruto before taking off into the skies.

Naruto just stares at where Windster was at. The redhead was unsure of what Windster is doing as he is flying in circles like he is looking for something to eat. Then Windster dives down into the treeline before flying out of the treeline with a swarm of Beedrill chancing Windster.

Naruto returns Kurama to his Pokeball as does Hinata returns Shirayuri and Ichi to their Pokeballs. They didn't have to wait as they took off running for their lives. They heard stories of how Beedrill would attack in swarms when Weedle and Kakuna are endanger by those wish to harm them.

"Beedrill, the Poison Bee Pokemon. Beedrill is extremely territorial. No one should ever approach its nest; this is for their own safety. If angered, they will attack in a furious swarm."

"WHY DID YOU ATTACK THEM, WINDSTER!?" Naruto shouts at his new Pokemon

"Nincada use Mud-Slap!"

A Nincada appears slapping the ground that causes mud to hit all the Beedrill Swarm. The Beedrill Swarm flies back and goes back to their hive. Both Hinata and Naruto turn to look at a kid their own age is standing there wearing a heavy coat and sunglasses. Standing next to the kid is a Nincada.

"That could of ended badly if I didn't step in," the kid says, "Why were those Beedrill chasing you?"

"My… new Pidgey caused those Beedrill to chase us," Naruto pauses, "What's your name? And is that a Nincada?"

"Yes, this is a Nincada. And my name is Shino, I'm from Hoenn," Shino explains to the two travelers

"Nincada, the Trainee Pokemon. Nincade lives underground. It uses its sharp claws to carge the roots of trees and absorb moisture and nutrients. This Pokemon can't withstand bright sunlight so avoids it."

"You're from Hoenn? Aren't you a long way from home?" Hinata asked the boy

"Yes, I am. I was given Nincada and decided to come to Kanto for a start. I know Hoenn pretty well and I wanted to explore a new region," Shino explains his reasons for coming to Kanto

"So you came to Kanto to explore a new region. What to battle?" Naruto asked

"Hmm," Shino pushed up his sunglasses, "I take it you are a Pokemon Trainer who will in time be taking part in the Pokemon League, correct?"

"Yeah, I plan to compete in the Pokemon League that's in a year. I take it you're going to compete as well?"

"That is correct. Lets battle since this is the start of both of our journeys,"

"Go, Mikey!"

"Squirtle!" the Turtle Pokemon lands on the ground

"Hmm, you will have an advantage because Nincada is a Ground and Bug type Pokemon,"

"Let's start!" throwing out a fist

"Nincada use Mud-Slap," Shino calmly orders his Pokemon.

Nincada slaps the ground which forces the mud to hit Mikey. Mikey slides back covered in mud. The turtle leans back and fires a stream of water out of his mouth. Nincada was hit by the Water Gun.

"Water Gun? But I didn't give Mikey the order to do that,"

"I take it that your Squirtle was just captured?"

"He was given to me just yesterday. This is Mikey's first battle,"

"I see. Please forgive me as this is a marker and I hope that you will grow stronger from this. Nincada use Dig!"

Nincada claws at the ground, digging a hole and dives into the soil. Naruto looks around, but before he could do anything Nincada bursts out of the ground underneath Mikey; sending the Pokemon into the air to only come crashing down.

"Mikey!" only to see Mikey's eyes spinning

"It looks like I won this battle. You have much to go, but this is just a marker. Next time we battle I hope it's at the Pokemon League,"

Nodding to the Bug Trainer, "Yeah, I can't wait for our next battle. Next time I'll be the winner!"

Shino showed the two an easy pathway through Viridian Forest without the fear of running into anymore Beedrill. During the time Hinata tried to cheer the redhead up, but Naruto already knew that he could of lost. He just started his journey and knew that he wasn't going to get great from the start. There will be ups and downs, wins and loses. That the way of being a Pokemon Trainer.

-Author's Note-

Yes, I haven't written nothing for this story in the last few months as I've been focusing all my attention of A Stroke of Death. Well, I'm going to be taking a break for a month from writing and when I'll focus on a single story till it's finish or get close to finishing it. During that month that I'm taking a break I'll have polls up for which story I should focus on.

In this story Naruto won't be winning every battle he fights in. The are reasons why he'll lose those battles. Hinata won't battle that much, but she will have a few battles.
