Camp Pokemon

RED WING ZERO: When I think of this story, I think it in anime style in my head. How about you? Anyway,
not sure about this chapter. Too sudden. Plus, I've tried to go a bit more humourous here, just because I can. Thanks for any subscibers to this - Thanks! And plus, remember to read who's point of view it is at the start of each chapter. Not that it matters here...

Chapter 3 - Adventure Awaits!

POV: Scott

We'd just had lunch, a delicious meal of peanut butter and jelly sandwich, and were heading out across the paths in groups of four, which we got to choose. Guess who we are? Yup, me, April, Lily, and Leo. We had to head down one of the two paths I saw earlier, which they told us have an amazing array of wildlife. We didn't know: we were trying hard enough trying to convince April that you can't walk off the path because you saw a cute little Snivy run off somewhere.

"But it's cuuutteee!" She yelped, trying to struggle from Leo's grip.

I slapped my forehead. "April, NO!"

There was no way we were making that mistake the third time. It's a long story both times, so I won't bother, but let's say they both involve a Patchurisu and no compass.

After a minute or so, April finally calmed down.

Lily patted her on the shoulder. "Never mind, hey?"

April still sneered.

The path was best described as 'long and winding', and was suprisingly clear, as it looked like it had just recieved a new coat of stone. It didn't fit in anyway to what I was used to in the city, and I think the paths went in a full circle, ending each at the opposite entrance. There were trees everywhere, much like the ones out the windows on the way here. Big trees? Small trees? Trees that look like they're going to fall on you any minute? They've got it. In all ways, it was best seen in real life and hard to describe in words.

10 minutes later, a short snack break, an evil oddish that loved tripping people over, we spotted another Snivy.

From instinct I whipped out my black-and-white coloured Pokedex, and saw the other 3 do the same, as it swung around the trunk of a tree and landed right in front of us. It looked like it had been through a lot battle-wise, and if it didn't run away, I decided I'd give it something to eat, a poffin perhaps? I always carried pink poffins everywhere, just in case Sparky got hungry, but we weren't allowed to bring them with us, something about 'keeping safe' and stuff like that. If you ask me, the last thing I wanted to do was tackle an Ursaring empty-handed.

"Sniv Sniv!" It hollered, putting on a fierce pose. If only I had a camera...

I heard the comforting sound of my Pokedex as it registered the species in it's metallic voice. "POKEMON NUMBER #495 FOUND: SNIVY, GRASS SNAKE POKEMON"

Then I heard a clicking sound, and a flash of white light. Oh, the camera feature on the Pokedex... forgot about that. Who was it? My guess was-
April cheered. "I got a picture!" The she made a strange face, a mix between confusion and suprise. "Hey, how come it's all funny-"

Correct guess.

The Snivy jumped quite suddenly towards her, and bit her arm, making her drop her machine and causing a high pitched whining noise. No, not from the machine. From April herself.

The Snivy aggresively grabbed the Pokedex with it's teeth (If you could call it that. Do Snivys have teeth?) and darted off faster than it should have into the forest. I was suprised, as even though Snivys are fast, I was pretty sure they can't zip at near the speed of light.

"But, how-" Lily began.

"MY POKEDEX!" April interupted, falling to her knees. I rubbed my fingers through my hair in realization that we'd never hear the end of it. It was actually almost sad, seeming as we'd spent years with these things.
Now she'd have to order another one online, and in the meantime, she would miss out on the many opportunities that came here. Well, at least it wasn't me.

"MY POKEDEX! NOW I'LL NEVER, EVER, EVER, EVER... AAARRRRRGGGGHHHHH! STUPID SNIVY!"
Lily lifted an eyebrow, almost looking as if she didn't care. I knew she did, but she always supressed her emotions around others. Nobody believes us when we say she can be an outgoing person if she tries, but really, she's as soft as butter sometimes. "April, why did you take a photo! It obviously made it angry! What did it look like?"

"Well, So-rry! And for your information, it was kind of like a colourful bubble. Why?"

Lily frowned and went into a state of thought.

Leo laughed, and leant against a nearby tree branch. "You guys are weird."

I snickered, putting a hand over Aprils shoulder in comfort. "I know. Especially April here. She's a real oddity. I heard even the Freak Show wouldn't take her. She was a threat to society, it seemed."

April punched my arm, which always hurt. And when I say always, she does it every time I say something with any humour about her. Can't she take a joke?

Lily emerged from her thought train.

"That doesn't make any sense... where's the internet when you need it?"

Oh, thanks for bringing back the lovely thoughts of video games. I didn't just block them out of my mind... if anything, that was my favourite hobby, apart from Pokemon.

"We're getting it back." April said determinedly, looking at me. Her eyes, uh, sparkled in the light, and you could see the anger in her eyes.

It was that look again.

And from then I knew we were getting it back, whether I liked it or not.

Action should be coming soon! Stay tuned! Oh, and can you guess the whole bubble thing? Play Pokemon Snap.
