Catching My First Pokemon

"I'm thinking of changing my approach to challenge the gymnasiums pal." "Turtwig?"

There were questions marks all around Turtwig's face.

"Well, each gymnasium have a 'theme'. One is specifically about rocks, other water, ground, fire, etc. You get the idea, right?" I asked, while he nodded.

So I'm thinking of catching 6 Pokémon from each type. We will challenge 8 gymnasiums in the hard way in one first swoop back to back.

I'm not worried about the 3 first gyms. But beginning with the 4 gym onward, things are going to get complicated. That's why I decide to catch my main team for our adventure around the world, and the other Pokémon for gym battles when the time comes. Although I will rotate all of you to be closer in my adventures. What do you say?" "Turtwig, Turtwig." As I explained my new plan, Turtwig agreed to my decision.

"Some Pokémon are easy to find in others regions. We can begin by catching the Pokémon who wants to battle and that I want in my roaster for each type in this region. And why not? One or two Pokémon that wants to come with me too who don't wants to battle. Not everything is battles, I plan to be a scientist, searching for new Pokémon evolutions. Are you with me pal?" "Turtwig." He agree with my statement.

'Woosh, woosh.'

"Looks like we have company." I said while Turtwig was in front of me in high alert.

The grass was a little bit tall, that's why I couldn't identify what was in front of us.

"Why don't you come over here friend? So that I can see you. Ehh?"

I said while looking at the front.

'Woosh.' "Doof.?"

A Bidoof appeared in front of me a moment later.

"A Bidoof huh. Hi little guy, are you lost? Do you need our help?" He shook his head. I continue: are you by yourself? Were you listening to our conversation?" He nodded.

"Oh, and tell me little guy, do you want to battle with us?" "Bidoof." "Huh? Not a battle, do you want to be my Pokémon then?" "Bidoof, Bidoof." He nodded his head. "Sure. Why not? Taking a pokeball from my waist and enlarging it, I said: "this is a pokeball, it lets me catch a single Pokémon. Are you ready?" "Bidoof." He nodded.

"Alright." Touching the pokeball, Bidoof was transformed into red light. The pokeball opened, the red light form a red ball inside the pokeball. Then, the pokeball closed again.

'Shake, shake, shake.'

'Ding.'

"First capture, complete." I said with a smile on my face to Turtwig, while taking Bidoof pokeball. "Turtwig." Turtwig looks happy for me.

"Come out, Bidoof."

"Bidoof." "Thank you, for choosing me as your Pokémon master, Bidoof. I wish that every Pokémon that I want, can be as easy to catch as you."

"Bidoof, Bidoof." He was a little shy now.

"This here is my friend, Turtwig. He is my first pokemon. I hope you treat each other like family, alright?" "Turtwig." "Doof, Bidoof." They greet each other.

"Let's see what says the Pokédex about you pal."

'Ding'

"Bidoof, level 4

That was the information in the Pokédex.

"Alright now that we finish our presentations let me ask you something. Have you seeing any Shinx around here, Bidoof? Its this Pokémon. It should be easy to find in this route. We don't have a clue where to begin so I'm asking you to prove our luck."

I said, while showing a Shinx photo in the Pokédex.

"Bi Bidoof." He agreed.

"Yes? Fantastic! Can you lead us to where you saw it please?"

"Bidoof, Bi Bidoof." Said Bidoof, As he agreed to lead us to where he saw a Shinx.

"Then I'm counting on you pal."

"Bidoof." Said Bidoof, as he was pointing his little paw to a tree.

"Thank you pal. Although it looks like he moved from here. Let see if we could meet him or her. Pay attention to your surroundings and don't go too far away from me. Got it?"Turtwig, Bidoof." I said while they responded.

"First, let's see if there is any footprints in the ground. Guys if you found a footprint like this one let me know, okay?. I said while showing a foot print from a Shinx in the Pokédex." "Bidoof, Turtwig." They responded after seeing the photo.

"Alright go." I said while paying attention they didn't go too far away from me in case they get lost.
