OOC: I have always enjoyed writing fantasy/fiction stories, but this is my first pokemon story. I feel like my writing has improved over the years, but I know that there is still plenty of room for improvement. So, I hope this story and the feedback from the graders will help me improve my writing. Well, Enjoy!
Chapter I
One Tough Taillow
“Come on Eevee. You need to keep up,” said Robyn, a young 12-year old trainer with dark green eyes and short brown hair. Behind her, a worn out Eevee ran to keep up. “Ee Eewee,” complained the young pokemon. It had been awhile since they had rested, and Eevee looked like it couldn’t take much more.
“All right, we’ll take a quick break,” said Robyn giving in to Eevee’s complaining. “Eeweee,” yelled Eevee happily. They both settled down under the cool shade of a maple tree nearby. Eevee immediately laid next to Robyn while she leaned back against the tree and checked her watch. It was already five fifteen and she had promised to meet with Josh at six. She was hoping to catch a new pokemon today, but it was obvious that wouldn’t happen.
Robyn has been a pokemon trainer for a couple days, but Eevee was the only pokemon she has. Eevee was given to Robyn as a birthday present a year ago. In that time they had grown really close. Eevee had become a pretty good battler, but he also had a habit of being lazy and laziness isn’t the best trait for a pokemon to have. Still, Eevee was very loyal to Robyn.
Robyn searched through her bag for one of the Sitrus berries she had found earlier. Maybe it would help Eevee recover his strength. She grabbed one of the yellow pear-like berries. “Eevee, do you want a Sitrus Berry?” “Eewee!” exclaimed Eevee happily as he bit into the large berry. After Eevee finished the berry, he curled up next to Robyn as she gently stroked his light brown fur.
It had been a very long day. Just forty minutes ago Robyn had attempted to catch a Pidgeotto. Unfortunately, the attempt didn’t last long because the Pidgeotto called on a few of its friends soon after. It took a lot to discourage Robyn, though. She was still as determined as ever to catch a new pokemon. Eevee was a little less determined though. After taking a beating from the Pidgeotto, he was ready to go home.
“We should probably get going,” said Robyn. “Come on Eevee.” Robyn picked up her bag and got up. “Eevee?” Eevee was still lying on the soft grass, fast asleep. Robyn kneeled down next to Eevee and shook him awake. “Come on, we have to go.” Eevee was a little resistant to getting up, but he stretched and got up slowly.
Robyn walked along Route 2 with Eevee trotting along her feet. She was heading towards Viridian City where her older brother Josh lived. Josh usually wasn’t home though. Two years ago, he decided to become a pokemon researcher, so he spent hours and hours watching and studying pokemon as Professor Oak’s assistant. Whenever Robyn saw him, he would talk for hours of all the ‘fascinating’ things about Rattatas and Sentrets.
While they were walking, Eevee suddenly stopped with ears raised high in the air. “What is it?” Robyn asked. Eevee stared at a small shrub nearby. The shrub shook slightly and a small white and blue pokemon hopped out. It had two small brown feet, two blue wings, and sparkling blue eyes. The tiny female pokemon stared straight into Eevee’s eyes and Eevee stared straight back. “Eevee! It’s a Taillow!” exclaimed Robyn. Robyn quickly pulled out her pokedex to see what it had to say about Taillow.
<Taillow, the Tiny Swallow Pokémon. Taillow are courageous pokemon that will stand up to any foe, no matter how strong they are. But because Taillow are young, they sometimes become lonesome and will cry out at night. >
“Are you ready, Eevee?” asked Robyn. “Eewee” replied Eevee. She may have failed at catching the Pidgeotto earlier, but she was determined to catch this Taillow.
