"Hey Quinn, maybe we could battle a bit?" Minty asks the young trainer.

"That's why you don't steal from my friends!" Quinn shouted to the Meowth as it was running. "Don't worry, guys, I'll be available for battles soon. Just let me patch up Sara."

I've made a friend. A friend. Today was the best day ever!

"Thanks a bunch for saving my skin!" I turn and say to Quinn. "Your Snivy was amazing! It's a shame you didn't get to catch it."

Monster the Finneon wriggles on over to Quinn's Snivy. It chirps happily at it, trying to converse.

Eti walks by a bush, and it suddenly rustles. A Rattata pops out!

Eti, write a paragraph of the battle scene!

Party:
Currently: Battling Rattata.

The gang and I continued to walk, when all of a sudden a wild Rattata came bursting out of the bush to my left. It seemed to be me that it was challenging.

"Don't worry, guys," I said to my friends, winking confidently at them. "Me and Monster will take this one."

Monster, hearing me mention her name, wriggled very slowly towards the Rattata, setting itself in place for the battle. The Rattata appeared to cackle madly at this, laughing at my Finneon's movement.

"Don't take any hassle from anyone!" I yell to her. "Quick, use Attract!"

The Finneon winked seductively at the rat Pokemon. Pink hearts flew out from the Monster's body and circled Rattata. They then collided with the purple rodent. The Rattata was immediately under our spell.

"Good job, Monster!" I called to my companion, cheering it on. However, it was at this moment that the Rattata leapt forward, chomping down hard on Monster's soft body. A Bite attack. Monster winced in pain, but intuitively fired a Water Pulse at the rat's direction. It sent gushing water straight into the mammal, firing its body into a nearby tree trunk. The wild Pokemon looked dazed.

"Freeze it in place with an Aurora Beam!"

I wondered if this was overkill. Monster fired many multicolour rays at the near unconscious body by the tree. Rattata immediately froze in place.

I plucked a Poke Ball from my belt and hurled it towards the Rattata. Hopefully I'd have more luck than Quinn did.

"I'd love to battle some more, but I promised Eti some battles. :)

Eti, Volcano is eager! Best hurry pal!"

Volcano flares up with excitement.

Cyn! Cynda! QUIL!!

Official's Post:

The area is quiet and tranquil. Cyndaquil has recovered well from its battles. Nothing of significant importance occurs.

Proceed.

The ball containing my first new Pokemon finally closes shut. I walk over to the Poke Ball at the base of the tree. I pick it up and eagerly run back to the rest of the group.

"Did you see that, guys?!" I ask them excitedly. "I caught my first Pokemon!"

Monster cries with delight. I pick her up and hug her, congratulating her for a job well done.

"Ah, everything is quiet. I wonder what happened to Sarah and Aster! I hope to see her here soon! Here Cyndaquil, you've battled hard. Jump back on my shoulder and rest!"

Cynda!

Cyndaquil jumps back on my shoulder.

Quinn trips over a vine and scares a wild Pidgey out! Pidgey goes straight for Sara!

Write a paragraph for capture!

Trainer: Quinn
Party: Sara
Location: Capturing wild Pidgey, Route 1

"Why must this happen?" Quinn asks to himself. "Nevertheless, I will get you, Pidgey!"

Pidgey, Pidgey, Why So Stingy?
"Tackle, go!" I commanded Sara. She went on to ram into the small bird. Pidgey flew up into the air and blew gusts of wind at Sara. "Look out!" I called out to her. It was too late. Sara got caught up in the mini tornadoes. The bird screeches as it turned red. Sara turned green then. I realized that she used Leech Seed without me knowing. "Good job, Sara!" I said. "Now, Wrap!" Sara wrapped herself around the pigeon-like creature, bringing it to the ground. "Now, Mega Drain!" The two changed to red and green, Sara absorbing the energy from Pidgey. "Latch off, and I'll throw a Poke Ball!" The snake jumped off of the bird and I threw the Poke Ball. -Wobble, wobble. Wobble, wobble...-
