And today you guys can vote for which Pokemon you want Aria to catch next! Choose and it'll maybe be the Pokemon will welcome next to Aria's Pokemon Bundle!

Aria's Pokemon Bundle? Should I call it that from now on? Hmm, I'll think of something along the way as this goes on...

But here you go, here's the list for Aria's team choice!

Ralts

Spheal

Gastly

Shroomish

Surskit

Pichu

I'm doing this a lot lately, I mean, I plan on doing this for all of them since I figured it's been a while since she caught a Pokemon unlike Ash. And if you noticed, I did add Pichu to that list. I thought it would be a little interesting to see both siblings with an electric type mouse in their group. Aria already has an Eletrike, but there's nothing wrong with two electric types.

Also, I've noticed something. Ash has caught more Pokemon than Aria. If you mean how many they have, no, that's not what I'm talking about. Ash has already caught about what 3 Pokemon? Aria has only caught 1. Both Eletrike and Absol were given to her by Professor Birch, so that really doesn't count. Didn't anyone else notice that?

I think it would be a good time now for Aria to be able to catch another Pokemon after some time. Sharpedo has been a great use to her, but some times it's great to add a new member to the group.

Since Aria was all about speed type Pokemon, I picked something that would be a little interesting. Some of them are slowly, but if they evolve soon enough, they will be much faster. If I had to pick, I'd choose Ralts, just for a little change around her group. Her strategy is mostly based on speed and defense, only offense if the Pokemon has a move that increases its strength, which probably won't happen for a while.

OW! My cat is playing with my feet right now... Ugh, it hurts... *rubs feet* If only I had the power to turn my cat into a Pokemon, wouldn't that be everyone's dream to turn their pet into a Pokemon?

Hehe, my imagination is beautiful...sometimes.

Also, here's a question for you guys.

What should Aria name her group of Pokemon? I think Aria's Pokemon Bundle fits, but you guys can help out by listing suggestions for it!

Okay, I'm shutting up now so you can read.

The Mudkip Family
Episode 25: Part 1

Recap of the last episode...

"Hey, we still didn't find a Thunder Stone." Steven realizes, crossing his arms.

"I completely forgot." Aria remembered.

(S) Salamence made a sound a Bagon ran forward with a strange stone in its hands. Aria knelt down and it hands it to her.

"A Thunder Stone!" She says surprised. She looks up at (S) Salamence. "You're giving this to us?"

It nods, smiling.

Aria smiles as well, standing up. She hands the stone to Steven and he examines it.

"It hasn't been used yet. It's brand new." He says. He puts it in his bag.

"We have to go now." Aria says. "But we'll meet again soon!"

Aria and Steven walk the opposite direction, waving their goodbyes to the Salamences and Bagons.

Peace has finally been restored to Granite Cave.

Pokemon!

"Alright, I think you're done." Aria covers May's mouth after she was doing the entire narrations of their journey through the forest. The group stood in front of a large waterfall which blocked their path from going any further.

"What do we do now?" Ash asked, blinking at the sight of the large waterfall.

"I don't think even a Magikarp can climb that waterfall."

"But that's just the place where we'll probably find some unknown Pokemon!" Brock told them.

"You're right Brock! Come on guys, let's get going!" Ash declared.

"Hold on Ash, I have an idea." Brock takes out a Poke Ball and calls out his Lotad. He puts together a rock and rope, and tells Lotad to use Water Gun on it. Lotad sends it up towards the top of the waterfall and gets it wrapped up on a tree branch. "Alright, it's safe. Follow me."

One by one, everyone followed Brock up the rope and slowly makes it to the top. May helps each person up onto the cliff.

"That's a long drop." Steven pointed out, peeking his head over the cliff. "If we would have fallen, who knows what could happen."

"Agreed." Max replied. "Good thing the rope didn't break on us."

Ash takes a couple of steps forward and looks at the flowing river.

"So this is what the top of a waterfall looks like." He says.

"The water flows more gently that I thought." May said surprised.

"That's cause it's an offshoot." Max shows them the Pokenav with the map of the offshoot.

"So it helps keep the river in balance near the waterfall. That's so cool." Aria commented.

Without anymore delay, they followed the river to continue on.

Brock noticed the change in the ground when his foot slowly sank in the mud.

"It feels like it's pretty muddy over here." He pointed out. "Better be careful you guys."

No one dared to look away from their feet after hearing that.

Once they got further down, they spotted the end of the river with small blue Pokemon living there.

"Look over there! Aren't those Mudkip?" Max asked in excitement.

Ash instantly took out his Pokedex to learn more about it.

"Mudkip, the Mud Fish Pokemon. Mudkip uses the sensitive radar receptors on its headfin to determine what's going on around it. In a pinch, it can brandish enough power to crush rocks."

Aria glanced around and noticed a couple of the Mudkip there were really small. The Mudkip she saw at Professor Birch's lab was much bigger, which means these ones had to be babies.

"They're babies." Aria and Brock said in unison.

"They must have just hatched." Steven said. "I've come across a couple on my journey with the trainers I've met."

"Mudkip are extremely rare Pokemon as well, and their natural habitat is unknown." Brock explains to the group.

"It's a rare sight to see so many wild Mudkip in one area, especially since they're used as starters for a Pokemon Trainer." Aria said, placing her hand on her chin. "I wonder why their here in such a great bundle. Especially for all of them being babies." She closed her eyes. "Interesting..."

"Is something wrong Aria?" Steven asked, noticing the curiosity in her expression. She opened her eyes and turned her head to the trainer.

"Hmm? Oh it's nothing." She looks away and glances at the Mudkip. She didn't realize that May had tried to catch one after declaring how cute they were, but all she got was getting sprayed in the face by Water Gun from an older one.

Older one? Weren't all of them babies?

Suddenly, she heard out a cry of help and glanced over at a group of baby Mudkips. She spotted that one of them had fall into the river and is being carried towards the waterfall.

"That leads out to the main river!" Max cried.

"They'll get washed away if we don't do anything to help!" Aria exclaimed, causing everyone to tense in fear.

"Lotad, go help!" Brock told his Pokemon that stood beside him. Lotad nods its head and jumps into the river to catch the baby Mudkip.

Aria reached for a Poke Ball and called out her Pokemon.

"Go help Sharpedo!" She told it as it caught up to Lotad once it appeared in the water.

Both Pokemon rushed forward and Lotad managed to get the Mudkip on top of its head. Sharpedo went around them and tried to push them towards the shore, but the current was too strong for them.

"This is bad!" Brock said, running along the edge to help his Pokemon. Aria followed after him, which lead the other to catch up.

Steven was about to call out Metagross to use Psychic, but they noticed that the one that had sprayed May with a Water Gun had jumped into the river and grabbed the Pokemon, pulling them to the shore. They were lucky they didn't fall down the waterfall and they would have been washed away if that Mudkip didn't rush to their rescue.

Hmm, honestly, I was planning on adding Mudkip to the list for Aria's team, but I wasn't sure since Brock is getting his own in this episode. I mean, unless Pichu gets chose in the votes, then it should be alright if I do that. But she already has a Sharpedo but it doesn't matter right?

Eh, I figure something out soon, I hope.

Oh, and the movie special, I nearly forgot about it. Tell the truth, I've been working on that so much it's just been a bit of a pain. I think I'm going to rewrite it again just to make sure that its okay. And I don't think that most of it will change anything really.

But at least the movies don't effect the plot of this, right? I mean, I can make references to the movie in the episodes if you guys want me to, which I'm completely cool about.

I've also noticed that Aria is starting to get a bit of Ash's personality. I meant how much her excitement and encouragement is close to his. Aria was taught more than him and she's much more...how do I put this?

Basically her brain is much more bigger than his. There I said it. Actually, it does make sense since she is 4 years older than him, which is strange since sometimes they mention that its been 8 months and they haven't grow up at all.

Weird huh? 0.o

Okay, I need to shut up. I talk way too much. But then again, I don't even say anything at school because I barely had friends. ;_;

I mean, I have a couple of friends, but I don't see them all of the time except for the beginning or end of the day. I never leave my house so...ya.

Anyway, bye!
