Chapter IV: Choji Meets Kenta
"A Pokémon's diet doesn't differ much from regular animals, though in some parts of the world certain foods benefit Pokémon that would have little effect on their normal animal counterparts. These special foods are widely known as Berries, though some of them can be quite large fruits. With the comeback of Pokémon populations since more industrial times, Berries are popping up in all parts of the world.
"The benefits Berries give to Pokémon vary. Some give Pokémon more health by providing vitamins and antioxidants while others help fight off status problems by providing specialized antibodies. Some berries have been known to cure poison, paralysis, and even confusion!"
"Gulpin! Gulpin gulp!" The round, green Pokémon nudged Takuma's leg.
"I know he's late, but he'll be here. If not, we'll go looking for him."
"Gulp gulp…"
"Wow, is that a Pokémon?" A man in a red and grey outfit with red swirls on his cheeks finally stepped out into the clearing.
"Yeah, Akimichi Choji?"
"That's me!"
"You look different in your file."
"Yeah, well, I was a lot younger when that picture was taken."
A lot fatter too. Fortunately for his safety, Takuma knew better than to mention that.
"Anyhow, I picked out the perfect Pokémon for you. His name is Kenta."
"Big and strong, huh? Like me!"
Yes…a lot like you…eats everything in sight…
"Yeah…sure!"
"You feel like barbeque, little guy? I'm starved!"
"Gulpin!"
Takuma watched as the two walked off, Choji carrying his new partner so they could get to the food faster.
It will be interesting when they battle; Kenta will fit Choji's fighting style almost to the letter.
"Gulpin!"
"Yeah, that was great! Hey, I'm already starting to understand you…how odd."
"Gulpin gulpin gulp?"
"Yeah, we're going back to my place for the night. Then tomarrow, we'll see what you've got! I forgot to ask Takuma how to battle with you though…do you know any attacks?"
"Gulpin…"
"Don't worry, we'll work on it."
((A/N: Sorry…I could not think of much to write with Choji…if anyone has any ideas you are more than welcome to send them to me in form of a review and I'll be sure to include them! Thanks!))
