The Journey of Johto
Chapter 2
As Jayden and his Totodile left New Bark Town, they are going down a path that heads to Cherrygrove City. But it is a few days journey, until than.
Jayden looks at Totodile, and said, "Say Totodile, how will you like if we catch ourselves a new friend?"
"Totodile!" said Totodile, holding its left claw in the air, agreeing with Jayden.
"Alright Totodile, let's go find one," Jayden said, and begins walking into the forest. Jayden looks to the right, and Totodile looks to the left.
Soon Totodile spotted one, and touches Jayden's ear. Jayden turns to look, and Totodile pointed at a Pokemon. It was in the tall grass, stood on its tail. Its colors are brown and white fur, with black ears.
"What is that?" Jayden asks out loud, and he pulls out his Pokedex.
The Pokedex said, "Sentret, a scout Pokemon. Cautious by nature, Sentret will stand on its tail to scan wide areas for foes."
"Wow, it sounds like a good Pokemon to catch," Jayden said, and Totodile agrees. Jayden puts his Pokedex back into his pocket, and pulls out a poke ball. He throws it as he said, "Poke ball, go!"
The poke ball headed straight at Sentret, and Sentret saw it. It hits it with its tail, and the ball headed straight at Jayden. Striking in the face and Jayden fell on his back. The Sentret fled…
Totodile gets off, and looks at Jayden in worry. "Totodile?" Totodile asks.
Jayden sat up, and the empty poke ball is on the ground. He looks at Totodile, and said, "I am alright Totodile. But why wasn't that Sentret caught?"
"Because in order to catch it, you must weaken it first," said someone nearby, and both Jayden and Totodile turns to look. The person is a blue haired man, wearing some green clothing. He walks towards Jayden, and said, "Kid, I take it you are a beginning trainer."
"Yes I am," Jayden said, and he got back up. Puts the poke ball back into his pocket, and looks at the tall man. "Hi, my name is Jayden. And this is my partner, Totodile."
"Totodile," said Totodile, saying hello to the stranger.
"Hello, my name is Kyle," said Kyle. "I can understand why you didn't think of weakening it first before capturing it. We all beginning trainers ends up doing that, in order to catch a Pokemon is to weaken it first." He notices a Pokemon nearby, and said, "Here is an example." Throws a poke ball into the air, and said, "Go Furret!" A long body Pokemon came out, with similar colors of that Sentret a while ago. But bigger, about five feet and eleven inches.
Jayden pulls out his Pokedex, and points it at Furret. The Pokedex said, "Furret, the long body Pokemon. Furret is the evolve form of Sentret. Furret uses speed to outmaneuver foes, and lulls its offspring to sleep by curling up around them."
The Pokemon he is facing is the same Sentret, and Kyle said, "Go Furret, use quick attack." Furret ran straight at Sentret, and strikes it.
Sentret lands on its back, got up. Than headed straight at Furret in using scratch, and so Kyle said, "Fury Swipes attack." Furret attacks Sentret before it could strike, and hits Sentret four times.
Sentret is looking kind of dizzy, like it is about to fall to the ground. Kyle than pulls out a poke ball, and throws it at Sentret. Sentret went in, and it beeps three times. Than stops, and Kyle walks over and picks up the poke ball. He looks at Furret, and said, "Well done Furret, good work."
"Furret," said Furret.
"Wow, so that's how," Jayden said, Totodile agrees.
"Indeed," Kyle said. He puts his poke ball into his pocket, and looks down at Totodile. "How about a Pokemon battle?"
"A Pokemon battle? Sure," said Jayden. "What do you think, Totodile?" Totodile agrees.
"Very well," Kyle said, and walks a little of ways. Than Furret stood in front of him, and said, "Are you ready for battle?"
Jayden looks down at Totodile, and wander of what moves Totodile could use. Than thought of asking the Pokedex, so he brings it out. Presses a few buttons, and the Pokedex said, "Totodile can use scratch, leer, rage, water gun and bite."
"Wow, nice assortment of moves," said Jayden. "Let's go Totodile, use bite." Totodile begins running towards Furret, and is about to bite.
"Furret, dodge it and use quick attack," Kyle said, and Furret dodges the bite attack. Than strikes Totodile with quick attack, sending Totodile backwards.
"Oh no, Totodile use water gun," said Jayden, and Totodile uses water gun.
"Defense curl," said Kyle, and Furret rolled into a ball. The water gun strikes it, and Furret's fur ends up getting wet. The attack weakened it, but with defense curl it increases its defense. After the water gun, Kyle said, "Now use fury swipes!" Furret went straight at Totodile, going to use fury swipes.
"Totodile, use bite," said Jayden, and as soon as Furret about to strike. Totodile bites its right paw, causing some damage.
"Get that Totodile off of you, Furret," said Kyle, and Furret tries but Totodile won't let go. It keeps trying to pull it free, having a tantrum of trying to get it off.
"Let go, and use water gun," said Jayden, and Totodile let's go and it is in the air. Than fires a powerful water gun right at Furret, striking it and pushing it down into the ground. As soon as Totodile stopped, it landed on its feet. Furret is on the ground, fainted.
"Oh no, Furret," Kyle said in surprise, and he calls his Furret into the poke ball. "You did your best, take a good rest." He puts the poke ball back into his pocket, and he walks over to Jayden and Totodile.
"You did it Totodile, our first win," said Jayden, and Totodile leaps up. Raising its right claw in a way, and Jayden thought so. He raises his left hand, and they high-five. After that Totodile dances around a bit.
"Well done Jayden, you did well in that battle," said Kyle.
"Yeah, but I think Totodile deserve that compliment," said Jayden, and Totodile smiled.
"Spoken just like that trainer I encounter a while ago," Kyle said. Holding another poke ball, and said, "He beat my best Pokemon."
"Who was the trainer?" Jayden asks.
"Josephiroth, I faced him an hour ago," Kyle said. "He beat my Onix with a Feraligatr."
"Feraligatr?" Jayden asks, wandering which Pokemon it is.
"Feraligatr is the final evolution form of your Totodile," said Kyle, and Totodile dances a bit. The Totodile remembers the Feraligatr, since they met at Elm's lab.
"Wow, which means my Totodile could become strong as one of Josephiroth's Pokemon," said Jayden.
"But first you need to do a lot of training like he has done," said Kyle. "And first your Totodile needs to evolve into a Croconaw in order to evolve into a Feraligatr."
"Thanks for the information," Jayden said.
"Even though you have beaten me, I think you need to train harder if you want to face someone like Josephiroth. And now, if you excuse me. I must go to New Bark Town, and go to the Pokemon center to get my Pokemon healed," Kyle said, and walks off.
"Bye Kyle, see you some other time," said Jayden, and waves him off.
"Totodile," said Totodile.
"See you two again someday," said Kyle, as he walks away.
Jayden looks down at his Totodile, and asks, "Ready to go on?" Totodile nodded leaps up and gets on to Jayden's left shoulder. And so they walk on, going down the path that leads to Cherrygrove City.
By nightfall, they stopped by a tree. Jayden and Totodile stop there for the night; they already had lunch in the afternoon. Totodile was delighted of the Pokemon food, and so tonight. They get ready to go to sleep, Jayden pulls out his sleeping bag. Placing his backpack against the tree, and gets tucked into his sleeping bag.
He looks at Totodile, and said, "Goodnight Totodile."
"Totodile," said Totodile, and Totodile lies down against him. And soon they both are asleep, and are having good dreams.
