After parting with Izzy, Mina started walking towards the Inn, a sleeping Litwick in her arms. The clouds had already begun to clear and a few stars showed up on the night sky. The girl was tired, but figured she'd stop to admire the beauty of Nature at night for a bit. She tightened her grip around her Litwick and smiled.
Various Pokémon could be heard about, some of them slowly heading to bed, others seemingly ready to wake up. Mina knew that gave her only about three hours of sleep, but she was happy nonetheless. She had helped save a Pokémon. Her adventure had an amazing beginning.
Suddenly, the girl heard some rustling in a bush and turned around cautiously. A tiny Oddish hopped out of the bush and started walking bout, chanting,enjoying the now beautiful night. Mina silently poked Chibi to wake her up and pointed towards the Oddish. A sleepy Litwick looked up at her trainer and, despite being against leaving her trainer's warm embrace, it hopped off and took a battle stance.
"Alright, Chibi, Astonish!" Mina yelled, suddenly pumped up.
The Litwick rushed towards the Oddish and shrieked as it punched the Weed Pokémon, startling it even more than Mina's battle call had. The Oddish covered its face with its leaves, crying in fear. As Mina called out another attack, Litwick's flame produced a purple gas that enveloped the Oddish, hurting it, startling it even more.
"Ember!" Mina called again and Litwick shot out tiny flames that hit the Oddish, causing it to release a trail of golden spores. "Watch out, Chibi, it's Stun spore!" the Litwick heard her trainer shout and jumped out of the way not before launching another Ember attack, the purple and orange flames making full contact.
Mina quickly took out a Pokéball and threw it at the Oddish. The Pokémon was dragged inside and the ball started rocking back and forth a few times before it locked shut.
"We did it!" Mina said excitedly as she rushed over and picked up the Pokéball. "Our first capture!"
Chibi proudly shot out an Ember attack at the sky. She and Mina never had a real battle before. They had only practiced on trees and rocks and all sorts of inanimate objects. Her first battle ending up in a successful capture meant things went great. And if things went great, then the two weren't a bad team. Not at all.
"I'm so proud of you!" Mina said as she picked up her Litwick and hugged it tight. Chibi snuggled up close to her trainer and let out a happy cry that soon turned into a yawn. "Let's take this little one to the Pokémon Center and we'll go get some sleep after." Mina said as she cradled her Litwick, Oddish's Pokéball in her hand.
By the time they got to the Pokémon Center, Chibi was already asleep. Mina handed over Oddish to the nurse and sat quietly in the waiting room. She nearly fell asleep when two familiar faces showed up and approached her. Professor Lyra and her daughter,Lilly had dropped by to make sure the trainers that helped save the Trubbish were safely back at the Inn. Mina explained that she was on her way back when she made her first capture and that she had brought the newly captured Pokémon in to have it healed up and ready for the journey. Before leaving, Lilly handed Mina a pretty-looking green Pokéball with red markings on it.
"It's a Friend Ball" she said happily. "I want you to have it. It's my way of thanking you for helping us with the Trubbish trouble. "
"Thank you so much, but you didn't have to." Mina said as she smiled politely.
Professor Lyra took out a small pouch that had three round, green berries inside. "Lum Berries" a tag neatly attacked to the bag said, along with an explanation on what the berries are good for. She also took out a card of sorts and handed them both to Mina.
"This is my way of thanking you for all of your hard work and help." Lyra spoke softly. "Lum berries cure any status condition." She went on. "As for this…" she said as she held up the card. "It's a Berry Checker App card. It will record all the places you encountered berries in along with the length of the growth process and it will alert you when berries are ripe for the picking. It can also point you towards the desired type of Berry and contains a list of all the shops and markets that sell Berries as well. " the professor explained the functionalities of the application in detail. "Oh and weren't you with another boy? Here, take these to him for me."she said as she handed Mina another bag, identical to hers and another Berry Checker App.
Soon enough, the nurse returned with Mina's Oddish and it was time for the girl to finally get some sleep. Politely excusing herself, after thanking both the Professor and her daughter multiple times, Mina rushed to the Inn for some well-deserved three hours of sleep, not forgetting that she had a person to meet the following day.
