Tokimae stood straight up at the mention of her camera. "Oh man!" she yelled. She scanned the area for her poor camera and saw it in the air. "Huh?" she questioned and started to walk to it. Behind a bush she saw a small Chikorita holding up her camera. The camera looked fine, the Pokemon must have caught it when I flew off when I fell.
-
"Well, hello there. Thank you for catching my camera." Tokimae smiled at the Pokemon. She was startled and let go of the camera, then ran behind a bush. Luckily Tokimae was already reaching for it so she caught it before it reached the ground. "Hey! I'm sorry. I didn't mean to scare you." She said getting onto her knees to make the Pokemon feel more comfortable. The small Pokemon peeked out from behind the bush. Tokimae giggled. "Really, I want to be your friend." She said getting an Oran Berry from her bag. "Here?" she offered.
-
Chikorita carfully approached the trainer and took the Oran Berry with her vines. She ate it and then smiled. The Chikorita ran up to Tokimae and snuggled her leg. Tokimae smiled and then petted the cute Pokemon. "Where's your train-" Tokimae was cut off by a man yelling.
-
"Aye! Chikorita! That's where you went." he paused looking at Tokimae. He looked fairly young, maybe early 20's. "You made a friend? Come on girl, we've got to get back." he said. The Chikorita walked around Toki and stood behind her. Tokimae stood up.
"I'm sorry, is this your Pokemon?" Tokimae asked.
"Hoo-noo." He laughed. "I'm a Pokemon Breeder," he explained. "My name's Jason. I've got a group of Chikorita's I'm rasing. This one is the most adventurous."
"My name's Tokimae. She's very sweet." Tokimae said.
"You know, she could use a trainer like you." he said. "Maybe if she wants you could catch her."
"Really?" she said "Are you sure? I mean she's you're Pokemon-"
"Nonsense. It's up to the Pokemon, not me." He said.
-
The Chikorita bounced with Joy. She ran over to the Breeder and he bent down to pet her goodbye. She then looked to Tokimae and nooded that she was ready to battle. Tokimae couldn't believe this was happening.
-
Tokimae told the Chikorita to wait as she went to go tell the other what's happening. She returned Keemi and decided to use Ethan. She walked back over to the Chikorita and had Ethan front and center, prepared to battle.
"Be careful not to knock her out." She warned and he nodded. The breeder stood on the sideline to watch.
-
Tokimae didn't waste any time and made the first move. "Alright! Ethan use fire fang!" she said. He lunged at the Chikorita.
Ethan gripped the Chikorita and flame burned her body. The Pokemon cringed and Ethan jumped away. The Chikorita regained her composure and jumped up into the air and used razor leaf.
The Chikorita was fast and made a clean hit! Ethan was blow back by the powerful leaves cutting his skin. Tokimae felt concerned for her Pokemon. "Hang in there!" she said "Use quick attack! Then follow up with a thunder wave to stun her!"
"Manecc!" he yelled as he began to run in at the Chikorita
Chikorita used her vines to stop the Manectric. Ethan succeed in using thunder wave, it became even stronger because there two were touching. The Pokemon froze and was unable to move.
"Well, I guess I can try catching her now." Tokimae said grabbing a Pokeball from her bag. "Go Pokeball!" The pokeball tapped the Pokemon and a beam of red light captured her and brought her inside the ball. The ball hit the ground and began to shake. Tokimae waited nervously.
The Pokemon was released from the ball. She looked angry as she charged at the Manectric. "Chikk!" she yelled using tackle.
-
The attack was successful, knocking Ethan right into a tree. "No!" Tokimae yelled. "Come on Ethan, you can do it!" She said. "Use thunder shock one more time!" she yelled. He stood up and locked eyes with the Chikorita.
Ethan missed. His accuracy must be dwindling. Tokimae bit her lip. She doesn't know how much longer he will last. The Chikorita giggled and used vine whip.
The Chikorita missed by Ethan jumping up into the air. "Nice thinking. Can you keep going?" she asked and he nodded. "Alright, use bite!"
Ethan landed the hit and held her there enough time for Toki to grab another Pokeball. "Alright, come on!" she yelled throwing the Pokeball and waiting patiently for the ball to become calm.
Tokimae smiled and walked over to pick up her new friend. She turned to Ethan, "You did fantastic." She praised. She then began to bend down to pet him.
-
Tokimae stood up and thanked the breeder and he told her to take good care of her. He enjoyed to watch the battle. The two exchanged numbers for Tokimae to inform him on how she's doing in the future. She decided to run to the Pokemon center to heal her Pokemon before naming her. She apologized to Rin and Zak and said she would return shortly.
