Ch.2 Santalune Forest

"Good bye Mom, Rhyhorn!" Calem waved back. He hit Route 1. Well the journey finally starts, what could happen? What Pokémon would I catch? Would my dream come true? Then it hit him. I have a Chance to make my dream come true! He thought deeply. He started walking.

He got past Aquacorde, the Bridge and started at 'Route 2, Avance Trail and looked at his watch: 5:00PM. It'll be an Hour and a half before I get to Santalune Forest, I have a sleeping bag I'll spend the night there.

"Froakie come on out!" Calem threw the pokeball. "Froakie!" Froakie jumped on Calem's shoulder "Let's go bud!

About 30 minutes later he stopped and saw Serena and Shauna "Hey Guys!" Serena and Shauna turned and saw him as well "What are you girls doing?" he asked

"Hey Big C!" they both greeted

"Hey what are you doing?" he asked again

"I'm teaching Shauna how to catch Pokémon, wanna join in?

"Sure I'd like to learn!"

"Serena's parents are amazing Pokémon trainers!" Shauna informed "That's why she knows so much about catching Pokémon and battling."

"Well... Mom and Dad may be good, but that has nothing to do with me." Serena sweatdropped "Ok, now watch carefully you two. A Bunnelby appeared and she sent out Chespin, weakened it, and threw a pokeball. It shook a couple of times and then the button on the middle glowed red.

"Wow! The Pokémon went INSIDE the pokeball?!" Shauna almost screamed

"Shauna... What do you think your Fennekin is in right now?" Serena said with annoyance. "Here, I'll share some pokeballs with the two of you." She handed them out.

"Yay I can catch Pokémon now, right Serena?" Shauna asked

"I bet if you throw one around here you'll probably catch one" Calem guessed

"Okay good luck guys" Serena waved as she walked away

"Hey Calem, Let's walk together?" Shauna asked "I feel like something exciting will happen if I stay by you"


They finally got to Santalune Forest; Shauna spotted something "What's that? It looks yellow." They snuck up on it through the bushes

"It's a Pikachu" Calem whispered, and pulled out his Pokedex they automated voice started to say "Pikachu. The Electric Mouse Pokémon. This Pokémon has electricity-storing pouches on its cheeks. These appear to become electrically charged during the night while Pikachu sleeps. It occasionally discharges electricity when it is dozy after waking up." The device informed. "And since it has a bow at the end of the tail, it's a female" Calem looked at both genders on the device

"Go battle it Shauna, and try to..." "Go Fennekin. Pikachu your mine!" "catch it... Calem finished

Fennekin came out of its pokeball "Kin Kin Fennekin!"

"Fennekin use ember!"

"Fennekin-kin-kin" the move hit Pikachu "PIKA" the mouse cried out in pain

"Go pokeball!" the pokeball hit Pikachu, it wiggled, and wiggled some more, and then "PIKACHUUUUUU" Pikachu came out and then thunder-shocked everybody, and ran off in the forest

"Keh...keh, keh..."Shauna coughed, and Calem coughed as well, he looked up and saw a big 4 foot - 4 foot round, charred hairball on Shauna's head, Calem screamed and fell backwards.

"What?" Shauna asked. Calem's cheeks filled up with laugh air, he tried his very best not to laugh. He pointed and Shauna's hair

She looked up and screamed also and started to run around in circles, crying.

Froakie, already out of the pokeball somehow managed to dodge the thunder shock, used bubble on her hair. Her head bounced around like a bobble-head. The charred hair got washed off, the hair ball disappeared, and her hair turned back to normal except without pigtails. She stopped and coughed one more time.


"Let's set camp here." Calem exhaustedly said. Shauna sat down without saying a word, she looked down and upset staring off in the distance "My mom packed a little propane bottle, and a fold up burner. I'll go pick some Oran berries to fry up. Be back in a bit! C'mon Froakie!" Calem said remembering what happened earlier. They were walking in the forest when they came to a big Oran berry tree

"How are we gonna get those way up there?" Calem mumbled.

"Froakie!" The bubble frog said as it made its way up the tree.

"Good job Froakie! I would've never thought of that!" He checked his watch: 8:00PM

He got back to the camp "Shauna, I got some berries" he looked where their stuff was. "Shauna? Are you there?" He had a look of concern on his face. "Ya...?" She sounded very sad "Are you okay?"Calem asked. She was lying on the ground.

"I guess"

"What happened?"

"Nothing..."

Calem dug in his backpack a got out a blanket, and placed it over her.

"Are you sure?"

"Yes" she mumbled.

Calem walked away from the conversation, because he didn't want to annoy her.

"I acted so immaturely earlier. How on earth am I gonna get better and catch Pokémon if i can't even tell Fennekin what moves to use?" She sadly asked

"You were anything but immature. You used the right moves to catch Pikachu, and you threw the ball after you weakened it. Its okay, how about we see if we can find it tomorrow. Okay?"

"Okay."

"Let's eat!"


The next morning they got all packed and ready to go.

"Shauna look!" Calem pointed.

"It's that same Pikachu!" Shauna said excitedly

"Here is your..." "Fennekin use Ember!" "chance..." Calem got interrupted again.

"Use ember again!" the Pikachu fell like a rock. "Go Pokeball" It wiggled and poof!

"Shauna you did it!"

"I did...it. I caught a Pikachu!" she said shaking the ball back and forth "C'mon out Pikachu!"

"Pika-pika!" the female mouse said. "Here this should help you heal!" she gave it a leftover Oran berry

"Pika!"

"Hey Guys!" both of them looked up, it was Serena, Tierno, and Trevor. "Nice Pikachu you caught Shauna!" Serena Said.

"You watched?" Shauna said back.

"Yeah for as long as I've known you, I didn't know you could catch a Pokémon like that!" Tierno implied.

Shauna looked at Calem and blushed. He's so sweet; he got me through that part and encouraged me.

"Shauna? Are you okay?" Trevor asked.

She snapped out of her trance "Yeah sorry, just thinking."

"All right let's go" Calem said


After about 6 hours later, they came to a light opening "Route 3! We're finally out of the forest"

"EEEEEEEEEEEV!" they heard in the distance "What was that?!" Calem looked worried. They went running back into the forest "EEEEEEEEVEEEEEEE!" they came up to an opening. They saw at least 20 Ursaring, and they were surrounding an Eevee. Calem ran out "HEY!" All of the Ursaring turned around. "Leave it alone!" multiple hyper beams shot from the paws of the Ursaring.

"Froakie Help!" Froakie jumped down off of his shoulder, they both dodged the hyper beams. Good they're recharging he thought "Use bubble!" the bubble frog shot bubbles out of its mouth. It hit all of the bear like Pokémon in the face, one came out, and literally Hammer Armed Froakie in its face and sent it flying

"Froakie, please get up!"

"Froak-kie" it struggled "FROOOA-KIE" it started to glow

"Why is it glowing blue like that?" Shauna asked "Its Froakie special ability, Torrent. After the Pokémon's energy gets down really low, Its Attack and Special Attack doubles." Trevor informed

"FROOAKIE!" it shot multiple blue spheres from its hand. It rapidly fired them like snowballs, and one by one Ursaring started to fall.

"What's that move Trevor?" Shauna asked again "Water pulse, but I've never seen so much power like that." Trevor Informed again. After all of the Ursaring were defeated, Calem and Froakie went over to Eevee; it started wagging its tail "Eevee, Eevee!" The Pokémon said in joy. "Froa...kie... it fell with swirls in its eyes "Good job Froakie, here eat this" Calem gave Froakie an Oran berry. "Froakie return, have a rest" Calem brought out its pokeball "Kie" the frog jumped away and shook it head, then got on Calem's Shoulder "Okay you don't have to"

"Okay we should go Eevee, stay out trouble okay?" "EEVEE!" the Pokémon screamed, and jumped on his other shoulder. "Eevee you wanna come with me?!" "Eevee!" Calem brought out a pokeball "Here" the Eevee touched the center of the ball, and got sucked in. It shook and it poofed. "I caught an Eevee!" he cheered.

"Congratulations" they all said as he was walking back.

All 5 walked back to the end of the forest again, and set camp, the next morning they left and started their route to Santalune City.
