Chapter 2: The First Catch, Spitfire versus Bluring

Ty came to a stop near a small creek that flowed towards Springlake Town. Taking a deep breath Ty could smell the fresh water and pine needles that lay scattered on the ground.

"This feels so good, being outside in the open. I think this is a nice place to take a break. Spitfire, come on out!" Ty yelled throwing his Pokeball in the air and released his Hatchling Pokemon.

"Spi!" The small dragon yelled happily looking up at his master. Ty chuckled and reached down to pet his Pokemon head lightly. Spitfire seemed to like the attention and leaned into the hand.

"Fire, Spi, Fire." Spitfire said softly. Ty chuckled lightly but a rustling in the bush nearest them made both Ty and Spitfire to turn and stare, Spitfire growling lightly. Then in a streak of blue a small blue bird Pokemon shot towards them and pulling up higher into the air.

"Ring, Blu." The small bird Pokemon said dangerously.

"What is that?" Ty said taking out his Pokedex and scanning the Pokemon that hovered in the air near them.

"Bluring, the Blue Jay Pokemon. Bluring is small but it is known to be a tough opponent. It will fight even a fully grown Arsonwing or Fearclaw should its nest be in danger." The Pokedex said.

"That means we must be near its nest. But if what the Pokedex said is true then I'm going to catch it. Are you ready Spitfire?" Ty asked. The small Hatchling Pokemon nodded and stood in a battle ready stance.

"Spi." The Pokemon growled.

"Alright, use Ember!" Ty yelled. Spitfire obeyed and released a stream of small embers towards the Bluring. The small bird quickly dodged and flew at Spitfire with stiff wings, Wing Attack.

"Dodge and use Ember again!" Ty yelled. Again Spitfire obeyed, this time jumping above the bird Pokemon and releasing more embers, this time the attack made contact with the Bluring and sent the small bird crashing to the ground. But it wasn't over yet, because no sooner did the Pokemon hit the ground did it take to the sky again.

"Bluring!" The bird cawed dangerously before diving down to Spitfire and pecking the small Hatchling in the head.

"Spi, spi, spi." Spitfire said as Bluring's beak hit it again and again.

"Quick Spitfire use Flamethrower!" Ty yelled. Spitfire obeyed and opening his mouth shot a stream of flames at the very close Pokemon.

"Ring!" The Bluring yelled getting blasted into the air. But even that didn't seem to bother it, because it just shook its head and dived at Spitfire again before tackling the small dragon to the ground.

"Spitfire!" Spitfire yelled as the small bird took it to the ground and began pecking it again.

"Spitfire use Flamethrower again!" Ty yelled. Spitfire once again released a stream of flames at Bluring. This time the small Blue Jay Pokemon went crashing into a nearby tree and collapsed into the creek.

"Pokeball, go!" Ty yelled throwing an empty Pokeball at the fallen Bluring. The ball hit the bird and opened up absorbing the Pokemon in a beam of red light, now closed the Pokeball shook. Ty watched hopefully as the ball shook once, twice, three times then dinged giving Ty the proof that Bluring was caught. As he retrieved his new Pokemon's Pokeball Ty looked down at Spitfire, it was exhausted.

"Hey, take a good rest pal, you deserve it." Ty said holding out Spitfire's Pokeball and returned it to its Pokeball.

"Spi." Spitfire said before the red light surrounded him and he disappeared into his Pokeball. Ty smiled before he clipped both Bluring's Pokeball and Spitfire's Pokeball onto his belt and shouldered his pack again.

"Alright, that makes two Pokemon; I'm off to a good start." Ty said to himself before he began down the trail again towards Fallview City and one step closer to his first Gym Battle in Wind Valley City
