Gold was overexcited. He was stepping into a route for the very first time. Gold decided he needed to do one thing before anything else. He pulled out a red and white pokeball and clicked the button in the middle. A burst of red light appeared and then a shape took form in the light. After it all went away, a pokemon was left standing. It had a tiny body with his arms tucked in and then a face with a large snout. Gold thought that he had the most adorable beginner pokemon-and soon the strongest.
Gold patted the pokemon on the head. "Hi, Cyndaquil," he greeted. The cyndaquil responded happily. Gold extended his arms out, and Cyndaquil happily jumped into them. Not only was Gold's pokemon cute and strong, it was friendly and sweet too.
Gold wanted to talk to his pokemon for a while. They were on a journey together, so Gold thought it was necesarry to bond with his pokemon. "You know what we need first to be the best, right?" Gold started. The cyndaquil just tilted his head to the side. "We need pokemon, we need to capture as many pokemon as we can and build our team. So are you ready to help me, Cyndaquil?" The pokemon just nodded and looked forward on the path.
Just a second later, Gold heard a rustle in the nearby bushes. Gold looked at his pokemon. "Let's go check it out," Gold mumbled. He stepped through the bushes carefully to try not to disturb the pokemon. After doing so, he saw a pokemon that looked like a flying squirrel. Ah, I know what that is. It's a sentret, thought Gold. He looked down at his pokemon and nodded. Cyndaquil leaped from his arms and faced Sentret. Flames bursted from his back. Gold jumped at first, but he remembered watching this before on tv.
The sentret came charging towards Cyndaquil with a tackle attack. "Uh, Cyndaquil, use leer!" shouted Gold. Cyndaquil's eyes flashed, scaring the Sentret. "Now use tackle!" Cyndaquil slammed right into Sentret, making it fly back and slam onto the floor.
Sentret jumped up again and came charging after Cyndaquil again. "Cyndaquil, dodge and then use tackle, again!" shouted Gold. Cyndaquil leaped out the way of the attack, sliding his small feet in the dirt to help stop his jump. Then he soared through the air and slammed into Sentret again.
"Yes!" shouted Gold. He stood there in a daze for a second before snapping his finger. "Right, now I gotta capture the pokemon with a..." Gold began to dig through the pockets on his vest. "...a pokeball- heh heh. It's gotta be here somewhere..." Gold was digging through all his pockets and finding them all empty. The sentret looked at the stupid trainer disgusted. When it mustered up enough strength, it got up and ran back into the woods.
"Found one!" shouted Gold holding the pokeball high in the air. "Now I just gotta... ... ... hey, where did Sentret go?" He shouted and then placed the pokeball back in his pocket. He then scooped up Cyndaquil in his arms and began to quickly run through the woods. "The pokemon shouldn't have gotten too far!" shouted Gold desperately. He ran through the woods as fast as he could until he slammed into something- another trainer.
The trainer slammed onto their back while Gold went flying and landed onto his side. He had lost grip of Cyndaquil, but he had landed on his feet and was perfectly safe. "Owww," said the boy. "I guess it's true when they say be prepared for anything."
Gold jumped up on his feet and helped the boy on his. "Sorry about that," apologized Gold. "I was chasing... wait the pokemon! I've gotta go!" Gold tried to take off, but the boy grabbed onto the back of his jacket and pulled him back.
"The pokemon is well-hidden now," he said confidently. "You'll never find it." Gold sighed and stayed put. The boy held a hand out to him. "Matt," he introduced. Gold gripped his hand and shook it. "Gold."
The two stood silent for a moment before Matt spoke. "Well, I guess I better go. Maybe I meet you again someday." He began to walk off, leaving Gold and his cyndaquil behind.
"Yeah, maybe," mumbled Gold. He continued walking down the road as well.
