Adventure in Hoenn

"Alright we're off. But first let's go to the pokemon center." I said. I walked to the pokemon center. When we reached there we gave Nurse Joy our pokeballs. It didn't take long until we were called back up for our pokemon.

"Come on out Blaze, Ralts." I said, releasing my pokemon. The others released theirs too. We then left, and headed towards the edge of the city. "Let's go. If we hurry we can make it halfway through the forest today." I said.

We nodded, and left. Not an hour later we reached the forest entrance. We walked til noon, and ate lunch, and then started walking again. A little while later we heard a screech, like one of an injured animal.

"Sounds like somethin's in trouble." said Applejack, running off in the direction it sounded. "Hey wait for me." I called running after her, the others close behind me. Applejack ran into a clearing and stopped, with us close behind.

When I ran into the clearing I saw what had been making the noise. A tailow had somehow managed to get it's wing stuck under a rock. "Oh poor thing." said Fluttershy. "What's that?" wondered Twilight, pointing her pokedex at it.

"Tailow. It has a gutsy spirit that makes it bravely take on tough foes. It flies in search of warm climates." the pokedex said. "Ah reckon that ain't too heavy. I'm gonna try buckin it off." Applejack said. She was right, it only looked to be about 20 pounds.

"Alright, but be careful." said Fluttershy. As Applejack approached the trapped tailow, it started to squirm desprately. "Don't worry I ain't gonna hurt ya." Applejack said. As soon as she got close to the rock she turned around, reared up on her front legs, and kicked the rock off of the tailow.

"Tailow!" the tailow cried out, flapping it's wing happily. Fluttershy went over to the tailow, and started to check it's wing. She let out a sigh of relief when she was done. "It doesn't seem like anything was injured." she said.

"Great. In that case I'm going to catch it." said Rainbow Dash. Tailow shook it's head. "No? What do you mean no?" Rainbow Dash said. "Tailow." it said. "It said it wants to fight Applejack." I said. "Why would it want to fight Applejack?" Twilight asked.

"Because she saved it." I said. "But what does that have to do with anything?" she asked. "Tailow wants to prove it's strength." I said. "Alright then. If it's a battle ya want it's a battle ya get. Mudkip use water gun." Applejack said.

Mudkip shot a jet of water at tailow, but it flew up to avoid it. "Keep using water gun." Applejack said. Mudkip kept using water gun on tailow, but it kept dodging them, until it's wings glowed, and flew down at mudkip.

Mudkip got hit, and skidded across the ground. "Get back up, and use water gun." Applejack said. Mudkip used water gun, this time hitting tailow, and it fell to the ground. "Now use tackle mudkip." Applejack said.

Mudkip rammed into tailow, sending flying. "Now. Go pokeball!" Applejack called out, throwing a pokeball at the tailow. It hit tailow, and bounced up, and tailow went in it. It fell to the ground, and shook, until finally it dinged, and lay still.

"I knew all that training would be good." I said. "Come on out tailow." Applejack said, releasing her tailow. "Ah'd like you to meet everyone tailow." Applejack said. "Tailow!" tailow said. "Nice to meet you too." I said.

"Anyways we should be getting back to the path." I said.
