Carry On
Chapter Six : Lessons
Calem wanders into a patch of tallgrass, cooing softly at the Fletchling. He motions me closer, and as I fall in step behind him, he takes out his Pokeball and throws it in front of the bird Pokemon.
It's a Chespin, the grass type starter Pokémon. With an excited chirrup, the Chespin turns to its trainer for instructions. Calem raises his voice. "Tackle," he commands. Chespin obliges, running at the bird with full force, curling his body inward at the last second to attack in full momentum. It's not a regular tackle, but a strategic one, using the Pokemon's momentum to attack with instead of brute strength, a combination that not only hurts but saves energy as well.
I smile slightly as the Fletchling retaliates with a growl. Already, Calem seems to be utilizing the natural powers of his Pokemon to his advantage. It's comforting to have him as an ally.
"Look here, neighbor," he says quietly, reaching in his bag and pulling out a small Pokeball. "This is how you catch a wild Pokemon!" He hands his bag to me to free his hands, then reeling back and tossing the Pokeball at the Fletchling with force. "Come on now!" His fists clench and I bite my lip, nervous at his steely determination. Nonetheless, the Pokeball shakes once, twice, a pathetic third time before snapping shut.
Calem straightens and looks at me proudly. "And that, neighbor, is how you catch a Pokemon."
I resist telling him that I've already caught two Pokemon, and seen dozens more.
/Howdy everyone!
Sorry for the lack of updates lately, once again I'll be doing the bulk of my work on weekends. On that note, I have a kitten! Nameless as of now, as my mother disproves of Luffy (OnePiece)... It's black with white socks, any suggestions?
Also it is a time skip, I didn't forget a chapter. Hang onto your hats!
QotD: What is your LEAST favorite part about X/Y?
I caught at least three Pokemon before I reached this part! they should at least give us the chance to skip it, or Exp. Points for taking the tutorial :P
Cheers! Nookie
