Chapter 2
The American Symbol
After taking in the sights, Josh thinks to himself if he wants to be a better trainer he'll have to train with different Pokémon, so he decided to catch a new Pokémon, but which one he wondered.
Josh: "Hey Cyndaquil."
Cyndaquil looks up at Joshua, wondering what he's about to say.
Josh: "I think it's time we got a new friend, don't you?"
Cyndaquil jumped for joy when he heard those words. It had been a week since they started their journey and during this time Josh has been gaining experience on being a trainer, so it was about time for him to get another Pokémon.
Josh and Cyndaquil see plenty of Pokémon in the city, but none that they thought would make a good edition to their team; but then Josh finally found something that caught his eye. It was the symbol of America.
Josh: "A Rufflet, it's pretty rare to see one in the city and not in the forest." "I wonder what it's doing here, either way I'm gonna catch it." "Let's go Cyndaquil"
Cyndaquil starts running with Josh toward the Rufflet, who was sitting on a lamp post.
Josh: "Cyndaquil use Ember!"
Cyndaquil fires an Ember attack at Rufflet. Rufflet notices the incoming danger and dodges accordingly, then flies to ground level and lands in order to face its attackers. Rufflet looks very eager to battle Josh and Cyndaquil.
Josh: "Alright Cyndaquil, use Tackle."
Cyndaquil charges at Rufflet at break-neck speed. Rufflet jumps up and starts flying, but instead of flying away Rufflet dashes toward Cyndaquil. In mid-dash Rufflet's wings start to glow white.
Josh: "That's Wing Attack!"
Rufflet and Cyndaquil strike each other again and again, whizzing by each other each time. Rufflet then switches up its attack and use Fury Attack instead.
Josh: "Cyndaquil watch out!"
Cyndaquil is late in reaction and gets hit with flurry of pecking strikes. Cyndaquil falls to the ground looking defeated.
Josh: "Cyndaquil are you alright!" "Oh no that's right; I forgot to take you to the Pokémon Center after our battle with Joey!"
Josh looks at the ground very ashamed of himself for forgetting how important the state of your Pokémon is.
"I'm so sorry Cyndaquil" Josh says in a sad, sympathetic voice.
Rufflet was about to turn around and fly, but then a fiery aura envelopes Cyndaquil and it grows a enormous flame on its back. Cyndaquil then gets up on its feet to face Rufflet one last time.
Josh: "WOW, CYNDAQUIL YOU ROCK!
Rufflet flies up and dives at the powered up Cyndaquil with a Wing Attack.
Josh: Okay Cyndaquil use EMBER!
Cyndaquil unleashes what looked like a small meteor shower of fire pellets at Rufflet. When the attack was finish Rufflet fell to the ground looking a little crispy. Josh then threw is Pokéball making contact with Rufflet. It then opened up, enveloped Rufflet in a red light, shaking back and forth for awhile, and making a *doing* sound signaling that the catch was a success.
Ash and Cyndaquil jumped for joy, knowing that a new friend had been enlisted into their team. A few seconds later Cyndaquil start falling backward, but Josh caught him before Cyndaquil hit the ground.
Josh: "Sorry for forgetting Cyndaquil, can you forgive me?"
Cyndaquil nods with a smile on its face and says "Daaaa."
Josh: "Thanks Cyndaquil now take a nice, long rest."
Josh puts Cyndaquil back in its Pokéball. He notices it's getting late and runs to the Pokémon Center thinking to himself "what an eventful day."
