After a not so long night, finally came morning. Walcekite slowly opened her eyes, stretched her arms and yawned. Only then she realized something was different. It was hot, something that only happens in summer, not in autumn. She sat up and immediately understood.
"Good morning, Zorua," she whispered while petting the little one. Zorua let out a sound similar to a purr. "That is so cute," Walcekite thought.
Then the little pokemon yawned and opened up her eyes as well. "Good morning… uh," she greeted the girl only to find herself not knowing her name.
"Oh, I'm sorry. I never introduced myself. My name is Walcekite," she smiled at Zorua that had a cute smile as well.
Walcekite was scared that something would go wrong without healing Zorua at the pokemon centre, but it seems all she needed was a good night's rest.
"Would you like some breakfast?" Walcekite suggested.
"Yes, please," happy that she will eat soon, Zorua jumped out of the bed and ran down the stairs to the first floor.
Walcekite thought to dress up first, but as the pokemon was famished, she went down with her pajamas and gave the little one what she wanted.
After both of them had some breakfast, Walcekite brought herself to ask:
"Um… Zorua?" she got the pokemon's attention and took a little red and white pokeball out of her pocket, which she was saving for this moment, pressed the center button and made it full size. Then she landed it on a table next to her. "Well… would you like to be my starter pokemon," she said it as quickly as she could to get it off her chest. She sighed with relief, but now a fear came up.
"You want me to be your pokemon?" Zorua was a little confused. "So why didn't you capture me after the battle with the Magnezone. I wouldn't have gotten out of the pokeball."
"Well, you see, I want that my pokemon team would consist only out of pokemon that became mine on their own free will. I would never think of capturing a pokemon when it was beaten by other, not mine, pokemon," she explained.
"What a weird human," Zorua thought, but she was glad Walcekite was like that. She jumped on the table, next to the pokemon and turned to Walcekite "I would love to."
Walcekite was incredibly happy. She took the pokeball and touched Zorua's nose with it. The pokeball opened and Zorua was turned into some sort of red matter. Zorua didn't show a sign of hesitation and immediately got locked in the pokeball. Walcekite held the pokeball with both hands and couldn't believe her eyes.
"Zorua…Is mine!" she screamed of joy and hugged the little ball. "Thank you," she couldn't wipe the smile off her face. "Now I can finally go on a journey to become a pokemon master."
After letting Zorua out of her pokeball, Walcekite started packing. She put on a new white belt on her dress, for her old one didn't have space to carry pokeballs. All four remaining pokeballs, as well as Zorua's, were put in the belt pockets. She put on an Xtransceiver on her wrist and all the remaining needed stuff were put in her dark blue, with a few light blue stripes, bag.
"I'm all set," she announced gladly. "Oh, and Zorua," she looked at her freshly caught pokemon. "Would you like a nickname? I actually have one for you."
"Really? For me?" it seemed Zorua was excited. "Well, what is it."
"I would like to call you Meilli," Walcekite smiled.
"What a strange name. Meilli," Zorua repeated her name. "I like it. Now my name is Meilli," she decided.
"So cute," Walcekite let out a light squeal. "Oh, and I never asked you – do you want to be in your pokeball or would you rather be outside of it?"
Meilli thought a bit about it and jumped on Walcekite shoulder. "I like it here," she announced giving a big enough hint about her answer that Walcekite wouldn't need to make sure.
Walcekite locked the door and could finally go out looking for her other pokemon, which she actually had seen earlier on her journeys for Zorua, but if she tried to catch them, then Meilli wouldn't be her first. The kitten pokemon is a whole different case, for it was caught by her mother, because Walcekite asked for that. As she was seven, she wasn't allowed to catch pokemon yet, but the kitten pokemon was all hers now and she couldn't wait to finally get her and let her join the dream team. She decided to go to Accumula town to retrieve the pokemon from the PC. As she entered Route 1, Walcekite started observing pokemon more closely than on her journeys for Zorua. There were Patrats and Lillipups hiding in the woods. Walcekite thought it would be a good thing to start scanning pokemon all around her with her pokedex, though she knew most pokemons' names, types and attacks. Walcekite took out her pokedex and scanned Meilli on her shoulder first, as she was her starter:
Zorua, the Tricky Fox Pokémon. Zorua hides its true form by changing its shape into people and Pokémon, and loves to surprise people.
"That's right, Zorua do that," thought Walcekite loudly. "But I only saw you change once. Don't you like changing your appearance?"
"Well, I used to be very naughty and I always scared and tricked people, but one time it all went so wrong, that now I only change when I need," Meilli explained.
Walcekite was interested to hear the story, but she heard that Meilli was sad while talking about this and didn't ask, so the tricky fox pokemon didn't need to answer.
After scanning one Patrat and one Lillipup, Walcekite reached AccumulaTown and went straight for the pokemon center, where a PC was present.
"Good morning Professor," smiled Walcekite at view of Professor Juniper's face on the PC screen.
"Well, good morning Walcekite. From where are you calling?"
"From AccumulaTown. I finally got my first pokemon," she looked at Meilli, who was still on her shoulder, and gave her a warm smile.
"So I see. And what a rare pokemon it is," congratulated Professor Juniper. "Well, I think I know why you are calling, I will send her to you now."
A machine standing near the PC started to work and a pokeball was conjured.
"Thank you very much," Walcekite thanked, took the pokeball and released the pokemon inside.
A pink pokemon with a cream colored face and underbelly looked at Walcekite. Her eyes were slit-like and her ears were tufted with purple interiors. A cute bulky pink tail with three yellow pin-shapes at the end, was wagging from joy.
"Mew," she greeted her trainer, jumped on Walcekite's free shoulder and licked her cheek.
"Aw, Skitty, you are as cute as ever," Walcekite petted her new pokemon and it let out a purr. After scanning her with the pokedex, Walcekite asked the Professor, "So what attacks does she know now, Professor?"
"Well, she now knows Attract, Thunder Wave, Water Pulse and Ice Beam."
"Wow, amazing Skitty," Walcekite petted her again and the kitten pokemon mewed with delight. "So you decided to make her learn Water Pulse, huh?" she talked to Professor Juniper again, she was a bit irritated.
"Yes. I know you won't have any water types, so I decided that you need at least one water type attack."
Walcekite let out a short groan and finally accepted the water type attack.
"Anyways, thank you very much for raising Skitty," Walcekite bowed her head and said her goodbyes.
Now she had two pokemon and both were pretty strong, at least Walcekite hopped so. With both pokemon on her shoulders, she left the pokemon centre after buying some potions.
Walcekite heard that there was supposed to be a needed pokemon in Route 2, but as she went along the road, she only saw pokemon she had already seen in Route 1. A little disappointed, she reached StriatonCity. It was a lot bigger than AccumulaTown and as Walcekite enjoyed the sights, she heard a girl's voice almost squealing:
"Oh my gosh! A Zorua and a Skitty!"
Walcekite turned around to see a blonde little girl with a white summer's dress. She couldn't help but think how wasn't she cold. The little girl got closer to Meilli and slowly tried to reach her head, to pet her, but Meilli wasn't interested in that and she jumped off Walcekite's shoulder and hid behind her legs. Skitty did the same. They weren't scared, but maybe a little bit irritated. Sadly, the little girl thought they did that, so it would be easier for her to reach and she started walking after the pokemon, who were going around Walcekite in circles. Walcekite didn't get this and got very irritated when the pokemon started running and the girl did the same. Walcekite returned both her pokemon to their pokeballs and the little girl awed sadly.
"Aw. I didn't get the chance to pet them."
"Well, nobody said you could. You should have understood that they didn't want to be petted."
"I know!" shouted the little girl as if she got an idea. It didn't seem she paid attention to Walcekite's words. "Let's have a pokemon battle! If I'Il win, I will get to pet them."
"You're on!" agreed Walcekite
After retreating to Route 2, and deciding this will be a 2 on 2 battle, both trainers let out their pokemon.
"I choose you, Tepig!" shouted the girl.
Walcekite observed the opponent, scanned it with her pokedex and let out Skitty.
"I'm surprised a girl like you chose Tepig," giggled Walcekite.
"Why is that? Tepig is really cute," she gave a warm smile to Tepig and the pokemon said its name with joy.
Walcekite stayed quiet and thought to herself "So I'll have to use Water Pulse in my first battle. Professor Juniper was right." And then shouted. "Skitty, use Water Pulse!"
A water ball appeared near Skitty's mouth and it quickly got fired at Tepig.
"Tepig, dodge!" screamed the girl, but it was too late and the Water Pulse hit its target. It seemed Tepig suffered heavy damage, but it didn't faint. "Tepig, use tackle!"
"Skitty, dodge!"
Tepig charged at Skitty, but the kitten pokemon easily jumped and avoided the hit.
"Tepig, jump too!" Skitty had nowhere to go and Tepig collided with the kitten pokemon.
"Oh no, Skitty!" the pokemon was flung pretty far, but it still had plenty of energy to fight. "Use Thunder Wave!" commanded Walcekite. Lightning flew towards Tepig and it got paralyzed. "Finish it with Water Pulse!" Another ball of water hit the opponent and Tepig fainted. "Yeah! We won!" rejoiced Walcekite as Skitty jumped into her arms. The little kitty meowed with joy as well.
"Wow, how come your Skitty knows those attacks?" the little girl was confused.
"It learnt them with TM's," Walcekite explained and returned Skitty to her ball. "You have earned a good rest."
"Well, I still have one pokemon. Go Purrloin!"
"Purrloin?" Walcekite couldn't believe her eyes. "Where did you catch it?"
"When I was walking along Route 2."
"I didn't see any Purrloin there," Walcekite was a bit disappointed.
"Well, I guess it wasn't your turn to find one of these beautiful pokemon," teased the little girl.
"Heh, well I will find one on Route 3," Walcekite decided and let out Meilli.
"Aw the dark cuteness battles. Amazing!" awed the girl and commanded her Purrloin. "Purrloin, use Shadow Ball!"
"You too, Meilli!"
Both Shadow Balls should have exploded the same second they touched, but they somehow were pushing each other. Walcekite hopped that Meilli's Shadow Ball was stronger, Meilli hoped so too. After a few seconds the balls tilted to Purrloin's side and exploded in the air. Purrloin got more damage out of the explosion than Meilli and Meilli was ready for another attack.
"Meilli, use Pursuit."
"Dodge it, Purrloin!" the devious pokemon was still getting up from the attack, but concentrated and evaded the Pursuit.
"Meilli, use Furry Swipes!" Meilli ferociously slashed Purrloin a few times.
"Purrloin, use Fake Out!" Purrloin smirked and slashed Meilli. It seemed something happened to Meilli. "Ha, your Zorua flinched!" the little girl announced.
"Ah, no! Zorua dodge the next attacks!" and then Walcekite thought. "Should I recall her or will she snap out?"
But the Purrloin didn't wait and began attacking Meilli.
