Cadence's Pokémon Journey

For the next few days Cadence learned everything she could about this new world and one thing was sure they were much more advanced than Equestria, there was one thing she did not understand and that was why humans wore clothes, but she said nothing. There was one thing that interested her and that was the Pokémon league, she had always wanted to do something different and this suits her well, but Brown was not quite sure.

"Are you sure about this?" He asked her as they sat in the kitchen eating breakfast.

"Almost all my life I have not been allowed to do anything I want, I've never been outside Canterlot because I was a 'princess', yet here they do not know who I am. So yes, I'm sure."

Brown could see the determination in her eyes. "Something tells me that I can not get you to change your mind."

"Nope."

"Very well, follow me." She followed him to the lab as he walked over to the desk and began searching one of the drawers, he took out something that looked like a red book and gave it to Cadence. "This is a pokedex. It contains information about Pokémon and you need a starting Pokémon, but I have only one left." He walked over to a table and there lay a a red and white ball. "This is a Poké Ball, inside this is a Pokémon."

"You must be joking, a Pokémon can not be inside that small ball."

"If you do not believe me then picked it up and throw it up in the air."

She did exactly as he said and out came something resembling a monkey but its tail was on fire.

"Chimchar?"

Cadence could not believe what she saw. "What just happened? A Pokémon came out it."

"No one knows for sure how it works but we do not think about it much."

Chimchar did not quite understand what exactly happened but when he saw Cadence he just smiled, she noticed that.

"I think he likes you," Brown told her. "why not try the pokedex on Chimchar." She opened it and pointed it at Chimchar.

"Chimchar: the Chimp Pokémon. It's fiery rear end is fueled by gas mad in its belly. Even rain can't extinguish the fire."

"Amazing."

"Yes, it is, here are five extra Poké Ball's for your journey and a map of Sinnoh. I suggest you wait until tomorrow to leave, because then you get an early start." He gave her the Poké Balls.

Suddenly a Starly flew in and landed on Cadence head. "Starly."

"I think that Starly wants to come alone on your journey." Brown told her.

"Do you think so?"

"It looks like it."

Then Starly flew out the door, Cadence, Chimchar and Brown followed. Once out, Starly circled over them as if he was ready for a fight.

"I think that Starly wants to have a battle."

She look at Brown "Are you sure?"

"Yes, if you are going to challenge the Pokémon League then it is wise that you get some battle experience."

"You have a point." Cadence opened her pokedex.

"Starly: the Starling Pokémon. Usually with a large flock, it is barely noticeable when alone. Its cries are very strident."

"Alright, are you ready Chimchar?"

Chimchar nodded his head then he ran out on the grass. Starly began to fly very fast towards Chimchar, he hit him very hard.

"Cadence," she look at Brown, "you have to tell Chimchar what to do, you can not just stand there."

"Oh right, I forgot. Chimchar use Ember on Starly."

Fire came out of his mouth but Starly dogded it, then its wings began to glow.

"That's wing attack," Brown told her.

"Get away from that attack Chimchar." He did as she said and barely dogde it, Starly turned to attack with wing attack again. "Now use scratch." Chimchar clawed Starly very hard. "Ember." Flames come out of his mouth and hit Starly he past out.

"Quickly, throw a Poké Ball a Starly before she recovers." Brown told her.

She did as he said, the ball hit Starly and he disappeared into the Poké Ball inn a red flash, the ball wiggled around for a while before it stopped with a small click. Cadence just look at the ball.

"What just happen? He just vanished into the ball." Brown approached her.

"You just caught Starly."

She picked up the ball. 'I do not understand how a Pokémon can just disappear into a Poké Ball.'

"So, how was your first battle?"

"It was very exciting, this is something I'm not going to forget."

Brown just smiled. "Just wait until your first battle against a trainer."

Cadence spent the rest of the day training with her Pokémon, But night soon came.

Brown and Cadence were sitting inside eating supper.

"Which city is the first I have to go to?" She asked Brown.

"Oreburgh City. I'll show it on the map after we finished eating."

After they had finished eating, they went into the living room so Brown could show Cadence where she should go. He took out a map from the shelf and put it on a table.

"You must first go to Jubilife City then you go east until you reach Oreburgh City. I suggest that you spend the night in Jubilife, it is impossible to get to Oreburgh in one day from here."

"If you say so."

Early next morning Cadence was ready to go out on her journey, she stood outside Brown Pokémon lab. She had a backpack with her, there she had things she needed for the journey.

"Are you sure you want to do this?" Brown asked her.

"Yes, I'm sure."

"Alright then, just remember that you can call me when you have questions. Good luck and be careful."

Cadence surprised him with a hug. "I will, thanks for everything." He return the hug.

After they had finished giving each other a hug, Cadence was on her way to Jubilife City. On the way to the City she saw many Pokémon, but it was one that got her attention. It was small and it had a bud on the top, it stood by a pond, she checked her pokedex.

"Budew: the Bud Pokémon. When it feels the sun's warm touch, it opens its bud to release pollen. It lives alongside clear pools."

She thinks that Budew was incredibly cute. 'I just have to catch it.' She took out a Poké Ball. "Come out Starly. Use quick attack on Budew."

Starly flew very fast towards Budew and hit her hard.

"Keep using quick attack." Again flew Starly towards Budew but this time Budew was ready, something came out of bud and it hit Starly. Starly fell asleep. "Starly." 'Budew must have used sleep powder.'

"Starly return." She returned Starly and called out Chimchar. "Your turn Chimchar, use ember." He hit Budew with fire and it did a lot of damage. "Now finish it off with scratch." Chimchar hit Budew very hard and she past out, Cadence took out a empty Poké Ball and threw it at Budew and he disappeared into the ball. The ball did exactly the same as it did when she caught Starly and Budew was caught.

She could not do anything but smile, she picked up the ball that Budew was inside. "We did it Chimchar, we caught Budew."

Chimchar started to jump up and down with joy. "Chimchar."

"Come on, let's get to Jubilife City."

And with that they were on their way to the next town, Cadence looked forward to what lay in the future and what kind of Pokémon she would see and catch.
