Owen's team

Snivy, (f), level 6, Tackle, Leer

Pidove, (f), level 4, Tackle, Growl

Wild Pokemon. Wild Pokemon everywhere. Owen looked around at all of the different kinds of animals he had never seen before, hoping that he could find another Pokemon to join his team.

"These are all really cool Pokemon! Maybe I should catch one myself. What do you think, Hez?" Fate asked her trusty Swampert. The water and ground type shook his head, causing Fate to sigh disappointedly. "You're right. After all, I could just bring back some of the old team."

Swampert nodded excitedly before turning his head to see Owen and Snivy looking at each and every single Pokemon in front of them.

"Why do we have to wait in the bushes? Why couldn't we have just kept going to Striaton city and you could've found a Pokemon on the outskirts of the city," CJ complained while Oshawott was sleeping on his head and Leaf was sitting right by his side.

"Because the first gym is almost always a three versus three battle! Besides, it's beautiful out, so just enjoy the outdoors, CJ," Owen shot back at the eldest of the group, causing CJ to shake his head at Owen's planning ahead. "Besides, I have a feeling that I'll find a new Pokemon!"

As if it was on cue, a strange brown rat with bright red eyes sprinted towards the bush that the group was hiding behind, and it began to crack its knuckles. The Pokemon then took a few steps back before motioning for the group to reveal themselves.

"Should we step out?" Fate asked nervously.

"You can't be serious. Look at the Pokemon that we have! Hez, Leaf, Oshawott, Tepig, and Snivy," Owen retorted before hopping out of the bushes. CJ and Fate followed suit as they drew a stare from the wild Pokemon.

"What kind of Pokemon is that?" Owen asked aloud while pulling out his Pokedex. The strange and confident Pokemon was then scanned by the Pokedex, causing the brown squirrel to show signs of losing its patience.

"Patrat, the Scout Pokemon. Patrat have very good eye sight and incredible reflexes, making them a great Pokemon for new trainers."

"So it's called a Patrat. Alright then. Snivy, you're up!" Owen exclaimed. Snivy reluctantly hopped off of her trainer's shoulder and squaring off with the wild normal type.

"Go get 'em, Snivy!" Fate cheered with Hez while Tepig glared at the grass type starter.

"You've got this, Snivy!" CJ chanted with Leaf. Surprisingly, Oshawott was awake and began to clap for Snivy, who seemed to gain confidence from the applause of her friends.

"Here we go! Patrat, you can have the first move," Owen gestured.

Patrat nodded in respect before running towards Snivy. Before she could react, Patrat had already checked her. Just as she was about to hit the ground, Snivy spun and used her tail to cushion the blow from her fall.

"Way to go, Snivy! Let's strike back with Tackle at full power!" Owen countered while pointing at Patrat. The normal type rat managed to cartwheel away from the Tackle attack, but was caught off guard when Owen snapped his fingers. "Now, use your tail to take Patrat's legs out!" In the blink of a eye, Snivy managed to hit Patrat on to his back, but the wild Pokemon got back up quickly.

"Pa-Trat!" Patrat shouted while trying to punch Snivy. The attack, however, failed because Snivy spun out of the way of the attack and countered with a ferocious right hook that knocked Patrat over.

"Snivy, let's wrap this up by using Tackle one more time!" Owen commanded. Snivy charged towards the wild Pokemon, but Patrat used its tail to swipe her legs out from underneath her, causing the grass type to smack against the ground face first. The wild Patrat then darted into the woods, causing Owen to drop to his knees.

"It's a shame you didn't catch it. That thing was pretty strong," Fate opined while petting Hez.

"It doesn't matter that it's running, 'cause I've got Pidove!" Owen shouted while throwing Piodve's Pokeball in the air. Pidove appeared in the sky, but instantly crashed to the ground. "...and I forgot that she can't fly," Owen muttered before hanging his head sadly.

"Dove Dove," Pidove added dejectedly before dropping to the ground.

"Owen!" Fate hissed before yanking him by the arm. Owen stumbled over towards Fate and CJ before regaining his balance quickly. He then stood straight up and glared at the girl who had just pulled him.

"What? I just missed out on catching a really strong Pokemon!" Owen roared before feeling Snivy tap on his calf. He turned to see Pidove sitting on the ground with her face buried in her wings.

"You really hurt Pidove's feelings, Owen," CJ told Owen.

"Pidove, I'm sorry. You really could help me out by looking for Patrat with me and Snivy," Owen proposed. The flying type looked up slowly with a hurt expression, but it quickly turned to one of happiness and she stood up. "and if you want, I could help you learn how to fly."

"Pi-Pidove!" Pidove chirped merrily before hopping on top of Owen's head while Snivy climbed up on to his shoulder.

"Awesome! Let's go!" With that, Owen held Pidove in his hands as high as he could, and she began flapping her wings. He then began to run while Fate and CJ followed after. "Come on, Pidove! I know you can do it! You just have to believe in yourself!" Suddenly, Pidove began to fly above Owen's hands before shooting into the air.

"Oh my god! Pidove, that was incredible!" CJ exclaimed as the bird began to descend slightly. She waved back thankfully, and then ascended to a ridiculous height so she could get a better view of the forest below.

"Dove! Pidove!" the flying type cried before doing a nosedive several hundred feet in front of her trainer and his friends.

"Pidove just found Patrat! Owen, you better kick it into high gear," Fate joked. Owen, however, didn't catch the sarcasm and he flew down the dirt path, leaving a cloud of dust for CJ, Fate, Tepig, Hez, Leaf, and Oshawott to venture through.

"Pidove! Where are you?" Owen yelled while looking around for his Pokemon. He then heard Pidove chirp back, and he began to run through a series of plants and bushes before finally finding Pidove perched in a tree while glaring at a different Pokemon. Owen looked at Snivy and then pulled out his Pokedex to get information on the new Pokemon.

"Blitzle, the Electrified Pokemon. The stripes across Blitzle's body store and release any electricity that Blitlze has or needs."

"So that's called a Blitzle..." Owen looked over the four legged zebra carefully before taking note of the several white stripes on the sides of its sleek black hair. He also saw the zigzagging white hair running up Blitzle's head, and he was then met by Pidove.

"Pi!" the bird squawked while pointing at its head and staring at Blitzle. The electric type seemed overwhelmed by the amount of opponents it was facing, and it began to tremble in fear.

"Pidove, are you saying that Blitzle hit you in the head?" Owen asked while trying to understand the several gestures Pidove was using. The bird nodded before shooting the Blitzle an angry look, causing the Pokemon to shake even more. "Pidove, calm down. Blitzle didn't mean anything by it."

"Zle," Blitzle chimed in while nodding. Just as Blitzle began to move its head back to its normal position, a wave of electricity was fired and it zapped Owen. Snivy hopped right off her trainer and looked at the wild Blitzle cautiously before looking back at Owen to make sure he was okay.

"Say, Blitzle, it seems like you need some help with that Shock Wave. Why don't we help you? What do you say about a battle between you and Pidove?"

"Blitz?" the electric type responded in confusion. It then locked eyes with Owen and shook its head after seeing a hint of compassion in his eyes.

"Owen? Owen, come out already!" a pair of voices called.

"I'm over here, guys!" Owen yelled back. Suddenly, Fate and CJ appeared with their Pokemon, and they all eyed Blitzle. The four legged Pokemon began to shake again, but was calmed by Owen and Pidove. "Blitzle, you can get the first move."

"Blitz. Blitzle!" Blitzle screeched before charging towards Pidove while white light trailed its body."

"Okay, Pidove, let's take to the skies!" Owen ordered. Pidove quickly flew into the air and began to circle around Blitzle, who timidly searched for its opponent. As soon as he found Pidove, he let a powerful ray of electricity loose, but it completely missed Pidove.

"Now, Pidove, use Tackle!" Owen shouted. Pidove did a nosedive and sped towards Blitzle before crashing into the electric type Pokemon. Pidove then flew back to Owen's side, and Blitzle slowly got back up.

"Blit-zle!" Blitzle grunted loudly while running towards Pidove and hitting her back towards Fate and CJ. Pidove quickly shot up and zipped right past Owen, ramming into Blitzle and knocking him into a tree that was about twenty feet away from Owen.

"Here we go, Pidove. Use Tackle again!" Blitzle slowly looked up from the ground and was met by a powerful check from Pidove, sending him flying through the tree and rolling across the ground. Blitzle then struggled to get back up, so he began to crawl towards Owen.

"What's going on?" Fate asked Owen and CJ while still watching Blitzle crawl towards Owen.

"I think Blitzle wants to join you, Owen," CJ assumed.

Blitzle wearily nodded his head before bowing to Pidove for their battle. Pidove bowed in return before looking back up at Owen.

"Well that's awesome! Go, Pokeball!" Owen cried while throwing a Pokeball at Blitzle. The electric zebra was quickly sucked into the ball, and it began to shake left and right.

Ping!

Owen walked over to the Pokeball and picked it up slowly before victoriously throwing his arms in the air. He then tossed Blitzle's Pokeball in the air, and the newly caught Pokemon appeared.

"Wow! You've already got three Pokemon and we've only been in Unova for two days!" Fate exclaimed. "I better call Professor Birch and have him send over the old crew. That way, I'll have the most Pokemon," Fate explained.

"I'm just going to catch Unova Pokemon," CJ said to the others. "Anyways, we better get going before the sun sets. Otherwise we'll have to set up camp in the woods."

The other two trainers nodded before withdrawing all of their Pokemon except for the Unova starters, and they began to walk down the road.

"The sooner we get to Striaton, the sooner I'll get my first badge! And then I'll win the league for sure!"

That's it for this chapter. Owen managed to "teach" Pidove to fly, and he caught a Blitzle. However, more problems will be waiting for him regarding his Pokemon. Next chapter will feature Owen and his Pokemon preparing for their gym battle, and Fate meeting (and battling) her first rival! Till next time, peace out.

1) (Regarding the battle and how fast it ended) Is Pidove really strong? Or is Blitzle really weak?

2) How do you think Fate and her rival will get along, if at all?

Next Chapter: Is it Destiny?
