Adventure in Hoenn

"Come on Blaze. If we walk the whole day, then we'll get there just before nightfall." I said walking off. "Torchic." Blaze agreed, and started walking after me. We walked along the road, just enjoying the sites, until it became noon, and Blaze's stomach growled.

"Heh. I guess you're hungry." I said. Just then my stomach growled too. "I guess I'm hungry too. Come on let's sit down for lunch." I said pulling my backpack off, and sitting on the ground. I pulled out some pokefood for Blaze, and I pulled out myself a ham sandwich.

Just as i unwrapped it, and was about to eat it a zigzagoon ran up, and snatched it from me. "Hey that's mine!" I yelled, as I pulled on my backpack, and grabbed Blaze. "Torchic, tor." he complained, because he hadn't eaten. "Get back here with my sandwich!" I yelled, chasing it into an open field.

Suddenly it stopped, and turned. "Decided to give my sandwich back to me huh?" I asked, walking towards it. Just then it tossed it up, and when it came back down, caught it in it's mouth, and ate it. "Ah. My sandwich!" I said. Just then I heard another voice. "Zigzagoon." it called.

Then I saw a boy a bit younger than me run up. "There you are zigzagoon. I've been looking everywhere for you." he said. "Is that your zigzagoon?" I asked. "Yes. Why?" he asked. "Well it kinda ate my sandwich." I said. "Oh, I'm sorry." he apologized, then to the zigzagoon he said, "How many times have I told you not to take other peoples stuff?"

"It's fine." I said. "Well, in any case, why don't you have lunch with me? I've got plenty more than enough food for both of us." he asked. "That would be great, thanks!" I said. "Don't mention it. Follow me." he said, heading towards a line of bushes. I followed him through them, and over to a small patch of grass on which laid a bag.

"I was just about to eat, when zigzagoon went missing." he said, taking out two sandwiches from his bag. "Thanks, . . . uh." I said realizing that I didn't know his name yet. "Tracy. My name's Tracy." he said, sticking his hand out. "Nice to meet you Tracy, I'm Jay." I said, taking his hand, and shaking it.

I quickly devoured, my sandwich, but Tracy ate his much slower. His attention seemed to be focused on something else. I looked at where he was staring to find Blaze, and his zigzagoon eating some pokefood. "That's a nice torchic you have there. Is it strong?" he asked. "You bet!" I said.

"Wanna have a battle?" he asked, finishing off the last of his sandwich. "Heck yeah!" I said. We waited until Blaze, and zigzagoon had finished their food, and called them over. "We're going to fight Tracy and his zigzagoon. Is that okay with you?" I asked.

Blaze nodded, and I said, "Let's battle in the clearing back the way we came from." Tracy nodded, and said, "Don't think I'll lose." As we walked to the clearing I said, "Don't think I'll lose either." We each got on one side, and prepared to battle. To start off I called out, "Blaze use tackle."

Blaze launched himself at zigzagoon, but Tracy called out, "Dodge it." and zigzagoon jumped out of the way. "Use peck." I called out. Torchic's beak glowed, and he launched himself at the zigzagoon, trying to land a hit on him. The zigzagoon was too fast however, and dodged all of Blaze's attacks.

"Zigzagoon use tackle." Tracy called out. "Dodge it." I told Blaze, but before he could move zigzagoon had run up, and tackled him. "Blaze get up, and use tackle again." I said. Blaze got up again, and again tried tackling zigzagoon, but once again he was to fast, and he dodged our attack.

"Use quick attack zigzagoon." Tracy said, causing zigzagoon to ram into Blaze at an amazing speed. "Get back up Blaze." I said. He got back up, and I said, "Use tackle one more time." What happened next surprised me. Blaze suddenly burst at zigzagoon at a fast speed, and rammed into him. That's quick attack. I thought.

"Get up zigzagoon." Tracy said. "Quick while he's still down use peck." I told Blaze. His beak glowed, and he attacked zigzagoon. He wasn't able to get out of the way fast enough, so he was hit. "Zigzagoon." Tracy called out. Zigzagoon pushed himself back up, but he was barely standing. "Now finish it with another quick attack." I told Blaze.

Blaze rammed into zigzagoon at full speed. "Zigzagoon." Tracy called out running up to it. "Good job." I said to Blaze as he ran up to me. I walked over to Tracy. "You did your best." he said to his zigzagoon, then he returned it to its pokeball. "Good fight." I said offering him my hand. "You too." he said shaking it.

"Well, I better get going, but I hope we meet again." I told him as I walked towards the direction of the path I had been on. "Bye." he called out waving to me. We got back to the path, and started walking towards Oldale town. "You must be getting tired." I said to Blaze after a while, "Why don't you jump up onto my shoulder?"

He shook his head, and continued walking. I shrugged, and continued walking also. By the time we got to Oldale town it was nearly night, and the moon was just coming out. "Alright, first stop the Pokemon center." I said.
