Chapter 3- First Catch
Yes, that's right. Janith -er- Reed caught his first wild pokemon in the afternoon after a small lunch. The two had stumbled into a chipmunk-like creature standing upright and with hot red eyes. Janith and Reed opened up their Pokedexs and scanned in the Pokemon. Their Pokedexs gave them information regarding the pokemon. It was a Minezumi and very common throughout the long Route 2.
"I call it!" Reed shouted first. The Minezumi grunted, ready for a fight. Reed let out his Tsutarja and grinned. "Right. Tsutarja, use your Vine Whip attack!" Vines sprouted from behind Reed's Tsutarja and whipped at the Minezumi. The wild pokemon howled and charged at Tsutarja with a Tackle attack.
"Dodge now, Tsutarja!" Reed ordered. Tsutarja obeyed and succeeded in dodging the attack. "Vine Whip, again! Then follow up with a Tackle Attack!" Tsutarja obeyed yet again and succeeded. By now, the Minezumi was too injured to fight anymore and let Reed capture it when the pokeball was thrown. Reed was too happy!
"Yah! My first caught pokemon!" He shouted happily. Janith was happy for him, but she also wanted her own collection of pokemon. For the third time in her rather quiet life, she was jealous of someone. On the way down the route, Reed couldn't stop talking about his pokemon excitedly. He let Tsutarja and his new Minezumi walk along beside him for a while. Janith let her Mijimaru walk alongside her too. The walk down the route was quiet and uneasy, for these 2 neighbors weren't quite comfortable with being close friends right now. After they ate a small granola bar snack, they continued on, sun starting to set.
