A lot has changed over the past 2 months. Captain Turbot now had a brace on his left leg, Mayor Goodway now never goes out onto the bay in any transportation and Katie was now the leader of the Paw Patrol. Reason why? During a rescue to save Captain Turbot and Mayor Goodway and Chickeletta, Ryder was dragged to the bottom of the bay and was eaten by a giant squid. FYI, Zuma saw it, so that's how they knew. Although things have gone almost back to normal, everyone still misses Ryder, especially the pups. But as if he had wanted them to, they left the incident in the past and they've grown stronger than ever. Under their new leader, they've focused more and has worked together like pb and j on bread. One day, the pups were playing down by Alex's treehouse. Marshall and Chase were playing tug of war, Rubble played jump rope with Skye and Alex and Zuma, Katie and Rocky played soccer. After a head butt from Zuma, the ball bounced behind a bush. Rocky and Katie went to get it and what they saw shocked them. Behind the ball, a few feet away, was a weird creature no one has ever seen. Not even Katie could identify it and she was a genius at identifying animals. The creature looked like a fox, but it was bipedal, easily identifying it by seeing its 2 strong legs. Its tail was bushier and furrier than a tail of a regular fox, plus, it had a stick with a red bow in it, probably belonging to the creature. It had three fingers on each hand, with three toes on each foot to match, with the only difference between them is in color. (feet and legs black/hands and arms white.) Speaking of fur, it was furrier than a regular fox usually is, plus it varied with the colors red, yellow and white. Not to mention its 2 big ears also had red fur coming out of it. The creature was unconscious, covered in mud and filth and it looked really injured. When all the pups gathered and saw it, Katie took control and picked her up and rushed her to her pet parlor/clinic. Alex and all the pups, except for Marshall waited outside hoping for good news. 1 hour later, Katie came out and said that the creature should recover nicely. As the pups gathered quietly to see it, they were in awe and shock as it laid there recovering. Aside from it getting cleaned up and brushed, it had a bandage on one of its hands, helping to heal a scratch it had. It also had some medicine a while ago to recover from a poisoning it had a little while back. Everyone tried to figure out what it was, but to no avail, especially after Rubble suggested it was an alien from outer space. A little while after that, Rocky heard the creature stirring as everyone automatically went silent. It opened its red eyes, vision a litle blurry at first, but then going clear. The first thing it saw was the pups and a young girl standing besides them with a warm smile. She was a little hesitant when she saw then, but noticed that they wanted to help. Katie walked towards the creature and said,"Hello. You don't have to fear us. We're only here to help." The pups barked in agreement as they introduced themselves. A little shy, the creature mustered enough courage to chirp hello, but it was in a new language. It said,"Braixen" as its form of hello. Rocky, hearing this, then thought of something and ran to the lookout, returning with a book in his left paw and a weird sphere he picked up from the spot they found the creature in his right paw. Chiming in, he says,"If its what I think it is, that's no ordinary animal." Rubble interrupted with,"I knew it. It's an alien. " Everyone groaned as Rocky continued. "As I was saying, that creature is called a pokemon." With looks of confusion on their faces, including Katie, Rocky continued with," Pokemon are like animals but with powers. Unlike us, pokemon speak in their "name language", meaning they speak by saying their name. They look like animals that we know, but are different looking and, like I said, they contain powers, depending on their type. So, a fire type would know fire type powers and the same rule applies with water, grass, electric, etc. Everyone oohed and aahed as Katie was interested to learning more. Rocky gave Katie the sphere, which he explained was a pokeball. It was sorta like a container to hold the pokemon, which he'll show later. All the pups and Alex looked through the pokemon book to see which one matched the creature. Marshall pointed it out on page 33 the picture of the creature. He said,"The creature is called, uhh, can someone help me pronounce this"? Rocky chiming in with,"It's called Braixen, it's known as the fox pokemon, a fire type. Plus I can tell you, FYI, that Braixen is a she." Katie was impressed as Braixen looked on with wonder, confision and anxiety. Alex cheered as everyone was impressed, but Braixen was nervous around the new faces surrounding her and hid behind one of the dryers. Katie spoke in a calm tone, " It's alright. No one is going to hurt you." As she let her hand out, Braixen placed her bandaged paw in it and stood up, still a bit shaky. As she explained her pups and everyone else in Adventure Bay, Braixen felt calmer about the situation. Rocky then showed the pups, with Katie's assistance and Braixen's permission, how they pokeball worked. Katie touched Braixen's forehead with the ball as she turned red and air light as it went inside and locked. Then, Katie called her out and she came out as a flash of white light and her real body formed from it. Alex was impressed, as well as the rest of the Paw Patrol. As Katie looked at the clock, it was dinnertime and as Alex said bye and went back home everyone went back to the lookout to eat. As the pups ate, Katie, following a recipe Rocky found in his book, made pokemon food for Braixen. As she set the bowl in front of Braixen, a little hesitant at first, tried it and loved it. Just to make sure she was comfortable, Katie sat and ate with Braixen. Soon, nightfall came and everyone was tired. The pups went inside their pup houses with Rocky holding onto Braixen's pokeball as Katie was in her nightgown and getting ready for bed when she saw Braixen sitting on one the bean bags by the elevator. She realized that Braixen was going to need a place to sleep. So, Katie searched and found a sleeping bag and placed it next to hers. Braixen, looking on, soon found out that this was where she would sleep. Both settling in, seeing a nervous look on Braixen's face, Katie told her," Its tough sleeping in a new place, missing your friends huh"? Nodding and holding her stick, which she had next to her, Katie smiled and said, " Its harsh I know. But don't worry, you're safe here, nothing will happen and if something does, we'll face it together." As she petted Braixen behind her ears, Braixen felt calmer and sooner placed her stick down and fell asleep. As the moon shone down, the duo slept peacefully that beautiful night.
