Adventure in Hoenn

We walked for pretty much the rest of the day. We stopped almost as it was becoming nighttime. "Applejack up for some battle practice?" I asked. "Sure." she said. "Alright, my torchic vs. your tailow." I said.

She looked at her pokedex to find some of tailow's moves. "Alright Blaze, use ember." I said. Blaze fired off embers at tailow. "Dodge them." Applejack said to her pokemon. Tailow soared up, avoiding the embers.

"Use wing attack." she told it. Tailow's wings started glowing, and it flew down at Blaze. "Watch out!" I called out. Blaze moved a fraction too late, and got hit by tailow's wing attack. "Blaze, get up, and use another ember." I said.

Blaze shot another ember at tailow, but like before it just flew out of the way. "Use wing attack again." Applejack called out. Tailow's wings glowed, and for a second time it flew down at Blaze. This was the chance I was waiting for.

"Dodge it, and use quick attack." I told Blaze. Blaze jumped out of the way, and before tailow could fly up again, Blaze rammed into it with incredible speed. "Tailow! Get up, and use air cutter." Applejack called out.

Tailow got back up, and flew up. "Dodge it." I said to Blaze as tailow's wings glowed, but this time it flapped, and blades made of air knocked into Blaze, rendering him unconscious. I ran over to him, and picked him up. "You did a great job." I said.

To Applejack I said, "That was amazing for your first time with tailow." She smiled at the complement. I looked at the moon that was rising, and said, "We should get to bed."

"Agreed." Applejack said. I went to sleep, and the next morning when I woke up, and went out I found Pinkie staring at something. "What's that?" I asked, coming closer to get a better look. "I don't know." Pinkie said.

I knew though. I recognized it instantly. "That's a slakoth." I said. "A slakoth? I'm gonna catch it." Pinkie said, suddenly turning serious. Jeez was she bi-polar or something? "Go torchic!" She called out, throwing her pokeball, releasing her torchic.

"Torchic use tackle." she said. Torchic ran at the slakoth, but it jumped out of the way at such a speed, that you'd think it was a completely different pokemon. "What? I thought slakoths were supposed to be slow!" I exclaimed, surprised.

"What's all the noise out here?" asked a southern accent. "Pinkie's trying to catch a slakoth." I explained without turning around. "Torchic use quick attack." Pinkie said. Torchic rammed into slakoth at high speeds.

"Now use peck!" she called out. Torchic didn't get a chance though, because slakoth's claws glowed, and it slashed torchic, sending it stumbling backwards. "Torchic use ember." Pinkie called out. Torchic shot embers, hitting slakoth straight on.

"Now. Go pokeball!" she shouted, throwing a pokeball at the stunned slakoth. The ball hit slakoth, and it was sucked in by it. It shook on the ground for a few seconds, and then a light burst out of it, revealing slakoth.

"What happened?" asked Pinkie. "You failed to capture it. You have to weaken it more." I explained. "Alright then. Torchic use peck at the same time as quick attack." she said. Torchic's beak glowed, and it ran at high speeds, into slakoth, sending it flying.

"Now pokeball, go!" Pinkie yelled again, throwing another pokeball at slakoth. It sucked it in, and shook for a bit before it dinged, returning to a normal pokeball. She walked over, and picked it up releasing the slakoth.

"Yes, I caught a slakoth!" she cheered, waking up everyone else. "Pinkie! What happened?" Twilight asked, bursting out of her tent. "Nothing. I just caught myself a slakoth." Pinkie said.

"A slakoth?" Twilight asked. She pointed her pokedex at the pokemon in question. "Slakoth. It spends nearly all it's time in a day sprawled out. Just seeing it makes one drowsy." the pokedex said. "Well with that done, let's pack up, and head to Rustboro city." I said.
