"Go with you?" Shauna questioned.
"Yeah! I don't know my way around the region yet, so I thought I would let a friend show me around."
"Don't you think one of the others would be better then do that then me?"
"Nah, I want you to show me around."
Shauna looked over to the other to see why they thought. Trevor shrugged his shoulders, Tierno nervously chuckled, and Calem simply sighed. Seeing that none of them would give her any ideas, Shauna had to think it over herself.
"Do you mind that I have no clear goal yet?" Shauna asked.
"That's what the journey is for," Kisai replied. "When you figure it out you can do it with me by your side."
"I can't say no to that," Shauna giggled.
"Then let's go!"
Kisai grabbed Shauna's hand and started running towards Santalune Forest. The guys stood still for a second. Shocked that they were just ditched, the three of them had to run to keep up with them. When they caught up with them they were in front of some tall grass.
"What's wrong?" Calem asked.
"I don't know," Shauna answered. "She just sorta stopped here."
Everyone looked at Kisai. It seemed like she wasn't even breathing. They had no clue how to help her.
"Want."
The group jumped when they heard her say something. Kisai wanted something, but she didn't specified what she wanted. The group lean in closer to hear what her next words were going to be.
"Want," Kisai repeated.
Trevor deiced to speak up. "Want what?"
"Balls," Kisai answered.
"What!" everyone yelled.
Kisai pulled out her Fennekin's Pokéball. Everyone started to calm down at her explanation. Kisai titled her head in confusion.
"What did y'all think I meant by balls?"
"N-nothing!" Calem sturred.
"Why do you need Pokéballs?" Shauna asked.
"To catch Pokémon of course," Kisai replied.
"Here," Calem said handing her ten Pokéballs. "I was going to give everyone ten when we got near to the end of the forest, but I guess I give them out now."
"Thanks man!" Kisai laughed as she ran into the forest.
"Kisai!" Shauna yelled.
"W-wait up!" Trevor yelled.
"Come on Calem," Tierno called.
"Is everyone from Kanto like this," Calem wondered out loud.
Kisai stopped once again when she got into the forest. She never been inside a forest before. Not even when she lived in Kanto did she go out in the forest. She was always told not to since she didn't have a Pokémon. Everything felt so big compare to her. She couldn't wait to explore everything.
"Can you stop running please?" Trevor wheezed.
"Sorry," Kisai apologized.
"Well I'm going to find the exit," Calem said as he walked off.
Trevor looked at his own Pokédex. "I'm going to catch some Pokémon for the Pokédex."
"I'm going to find any Pokémon that's good for a dance crew," Tierno said. "If I can't find any I go battle some trainers."
The guys split up and went different parts of the forest. Kisai and Shauna stood around at the entrance wondering which way to go. The map didn't show the forest in any detail.
"I guess we should get going," Kisai said.
"Lead the way."
The girls started to make their way through the large forest. On their way, they saw Trevor in the tall grass looking for Pokémon and Tierno battling some trainer. They could see Calem up ahead with a Fletchling on his shoulder.
"Hold on for a second Kisai!" Shauna yelled as ran into a patch of tall grass.
As Shauna was trying to catch her first Pokémon, Kisai decided to take the time to train Fennekin. She walked into a different patch of grass and started to walk around in a circle. When she was on her first go around a Pokémon popped out.
"Scatter," the bug Pokémon said.
"Oh what a cute little thing you are," Kisai commented.
Kisai took out her Pokédex to find out what the Pokémon was. She frowned when the Pokédex only showed the name. She figured that it will only show more data when the Pokémon was captured.
"I guess you're gonna be my first catch Scatterbug."
"Scatter!"
"Ok let's go Fennekin!" Kisai called out.
Fennekin popped out of the Pokéball and got into fighting position. By the time Fennekin was brought out Shauna had already finished capturing her Pokémon. She kept quite and watched how Kisai would battle against Scatterbug.
"Ok Fennekin start off with Scratch!" Kisai commanded.
As Fennekin ran towards Scatterbug, her front paw started to glow with power. Scatterbug shot out silk from his mouth and aimed it at Fennekin's feet. Fennekin had to jump around the silk to avoid it. This became a problem when Fennekin accidentally ran into a tree while she was trying to flee.
"It's ok Fennekin!" Kisai encouraged. "Ember!"
Fennekin took a deep breath and shot small fire flames from her mouth. Scatterbug had no way of dodging the attack, so it took the attack head on. Kisai laughed at his toughness.
"I'm starting to like you more and more."
"I never seen a bug Pokémon stand up to fire attack like that before!" Shauna exclaimed.
"No fear," Kisai started, "that's what I like in a Pokémon."
"Scatterbug!" Scatterbug yelled running towards Fennekin for a Tackle attack.
"I see your game. Fennekin use Scratch!"
"Fin!" Fennekin yelled as she ran towards the bug type.
The two Pokémon moves clashed with each other. Fennekin landed to the ground with grace as did Scatterbug. The only difference was that Scatterbug seemed more out of breath than Fennekin.
"Kisai! Now!" Shauna yelled.
Kisai got out an empty Pokéball from her pocket. She formed a baseball player like position. She threw the ball as hard as she could. The Pokéball hit Scatterbug in the head and a red light sucked him into the ball. One shake. Two shake. Three shake. When it looked like that the Pokéball was about to break open both Fennekin and Kisai jumped on the Pokéball.
"Oh no you don't!" Kisai yelled.
"Fennekin!"
The wobbling of the Pokéball soon stopped. Letting out a sigh of relief, both trainer and Pokémon sat up. They bro fisted each other before looking at Shauna. Kisai gave her a toothy smile.
"We did it!"
Shauna gave her a thump up. She was really glad she was on a journey with Kisai. Now she wouldn't be bored. Who could be with a person like her around?
"I wanna catch more Pokémon!" Kisai yelled running away with Fennekin by her side.
"H-hey!" Shauna yelled. "Wait for me!"
