About an hour after I left my house, I entered the forest. When I entered the forest, the sunlight dimmed from above, and when I looked up all I saw were the canopies of trees. There were also an abundance of Pokemon. I saw lots of Vivillon, Spewpa, Treecko, and many more. I kept walking along the path, and kept looking for one that caught my eye.
Froakie was getting impatient, and jumped off my shoulder and ran ahead. I kept walking behind him, so I could keep my eye on him. The beauty of the forest was so mesmerizing, I forgot what I was doing in the forest. Then I heard something that snapped me out of my daze. There was a rustling in the bush, and then a Pokemon jumped out in front of Froakie!
The Pokemon was small, and had blue fur, with light red eyes. I was guessing it was a Riolu, because I had seen one before at my mom's work. It was just standing there like it was waiting for something. Then it hit me, it wanted to battle Froakie!
"Alright Froakie," I said "Use tackle on Riolu!"
Froakie attempted to tackle Riolu, but Riolu jumped and Froakie missed.
"Froakie, use growl!" I shouted.
Froakie then growled at Riolu, lowering its attack power by one. Riolu, then used tackle on Froakie.
"Froakie dodge!" I shouted.
It was to late though, Riolu hit Froakie.
"Froakie, OK, now! Use bubble!" I commanded.
A stream of bright blue bubbles flew out of Froakie's mouth, and made a direct hit with Riolu.
"Yes!" I screamed, "Way to go Froakie!"
Then something, I didn't think possible happened. Riolu jumped up and used bubble right back at Froakie! The bubble hit Froakie, and smashed it against a tree. Froakie fell to the ground, weak and dazed. After about a minute, Froakie stood back up glaring at Riolu. I didn't think that Riolu knew a water-type move like bubble, then I remembered what my mom had said, "Riolu knows the move copycat, which means that it can copy the last move that a Pokemon used against it,".
"Froakie, use growl!" I told Froakie, "Then use bubble!"
Froakie growled at Riolu lowering it's attack, then hit it with a mirage of bubble's. Riolu was so shocked that Froakie got back up, that it forgot to dodge, and Froakie got a direct hit! Riolu then fell to the ground fainted, and now was the perfect time to capture it.
"Good job Froakie," I complimented him, "Now, go Poke Ball!"
I threw a Poke Ball at Riolu, and Riolu was put inside it. The Poke Ball turned once, "ding", then twice, "ping", then three times. Riolu was caught! I was so happy that I caught my first Pokemon, and so was Froakie. But, first things first. I needed to get Froakie to the Pokemon Center so he could get healed. The battle with Riolu really made him tired. I put the Poke Ball containing Riolu, in my backpack, and picked up Froakie. After I picked him up, I ran with Froakie to the Pokemon Center, and the edge of the forest to were the Pokemon Center was.
