Episode 2: Go get 'em!
Takuya was walking down beside me. I was trying to think of a name for my new partner. I don't like calling pokemon by their species name because it makes them seem like they are just like all the others. Pokemon are very different from each other, so I'm not calling them by the species name. Takuya was taking in our surroundings as we were walking down the path heading to Azul City.
My mother talked alot about Azul City. Mainly since it was the closest city to us. Azul City is the Blue Water bound city that is known for, you guessed it, water pokemon. According to my mother, the Gym trainer there, Bryce, was no joke when it came to battling. I know that if I wanna win, I need more than my little Pikachu. I was thinking more about my first gym battle when Takuya interrupted me.
"Cool Pikachu." He said looking at my Pikachu that was walking beside me. His eyes were still closed but he walked as if he could see. I found it very interesting.
"Yeah he's a nice little guy." I said smiling. Suddenly we heard something rustling in the bushes nearby.
"Stay Back." Takuya said standing in front of me. I nodded. The bushes kept moving until an orange puppy with black stripes jumped out and started growling at us. I thought that that was the cutest tiger-puppy thing that I have ever seen.
"What is that?" I asked holding out my pokedex.
"Growlithe, The puppy pokemon." Dexter said "Growlithe are protective pokemon whose main weapon are its powerful bite."
"Growlithe eh?" Takuya said "You wanna catch it?"
I looked from my pokedex to Takuya then at the Growlithe.
"It's sooo cute!" I yelled "Go Pikachu." I cringed on the 'Pikachu' part.
"It's gonna kill you to call your pikachu 'pikachu' isn't it?" He asked, shaking his head.
" Yes it will. Go pikachu! Quick Attack!" I yelled pointing at the growlithe
I looked at Takuya and he pointed up in the tree above him as if saying 'He's up there'. I looked up and saw my partner laying on the branch.
"Pikachu!" I called out. The pikachu looked down at me. I pointed to the growlithe. He merely yawned and stood up.
"Now!" I yelled at the yellow mouse pokemon.
He got mad at me and sent a large thunder attack down that struck me and the growlithe. Him and Takuya started to laugh. I growled as I tossed a pokeball at the now pure black puppy. Then the pokeball started twitching. I clenched my fists hoping that the pokemon would stay in. Then the pokeball stopped shaking and crimson light dimed. I picked up the pokeball.
"All Right! I caught a Growlithe!" I yelled. Takuya gave me a thumbs up and My Pikachu smirked. I let my newly caught Growlithe out of the pokeball. He howled happily then ran onto the hill that was near us. He sat there and stared at the clouds.
"Cloud?" I said confused. The growlithe looked at me then ran towards me. I smiled. Looks like this one pokemon actually likes me. Takuya looked surprised. My pikachu just looked at me.
"Pika?" He replied
"Growlithe!" The tiger-striped puppy howled. The growlithe ran up to me and licked my cheek. The Growlithe's tail wagged furiously. I giggled.
"Welcome to the team." Takuya said leaning against a tree. My pikachu just smirked. The wind started to pick up and leaves started to fly around.
"Cloud"
