The next day, Andrew wakes wth a grin. He is to start his journey today. He looks around for Pyrochiken, but there is no sign of him anywhere. Not in the closet, or under the bed, or anywhere else. Andrew decides to look in the kitchen.
Andrew: Pyrochiken? Pyrochiken! Come out now!
Suddenly, a bump comes from the pantry. Andrew opens it up and Pyrochiken falls out, along with a half-eaten box of crackers.
Pyrochiken: (burps)
Andrew: Yeah, I bet. Come on, we have to get going!
Pyrochiken: Torchic!
Andrew grabs his bag and runs out the door. Pyrochiken grabs some crackers and runs out the door. They both head to the edge of town.
Andrew:You're a Pokemon. Pokemon need to be in Pokeballs. Pyrochiken, in the Pokeball.
Pyrochiken shakes his head.
Andrew: Pyrochiken, return!
A red beam of light shoots out from the Pokeball at Pyrochiken, who uses the box of crackers as a shield.
Andrew: Wow. You must really hate Pokeballs. Fine then. You can stay outside. For now.
--------------
They continue on. It is only a short distance to Oldale, their destination. When they arrive, they stop at the Pokemon center, and head to Petalburg. Along the way they see a Zigzagoon.
Andrew: Pyrochiken, you need to fight. Defeat this Zigzagoon to become more powerful. You need to gain experience so we can defeat Gym Leaders.
Pyrochiken, who until now had been obsessed with the crackers, started to listen.
Pyrochiken: Tor tor!
Pyrochiken gets ready for battle, and then charges and Scratches the Zigzagoon.
Andrew: Good job, Pyrochiken! Now, Ember!
Pyrochiken nods, but before he can attack, the Zigzagoon kicks sand in his face! Pyrochiken uses Ember, but the Zigzagoon swiftly doges the attack.
Andrew: That Sand-Attack must have lowered Pyrochiken's accuracy. Hmm...lets try a..---Pyrochiken, WATCH OUT!
Pyrochiken is wiping sand from its eyes, and Zigzagoon is charging right at him for a Tackle attack! Pyrochiken springs into action, neatly dodging the attack. The Zigzagoon, startled, kept going.
Andrew: Pyrochiken, counterattack!
The Zigzagoon whirls around and is greeted by an Ember in the face!
Pyrochiken: Torchic tor!
-------
They headed to Petalburg, defeating wild Pokemon on the way. They defeated three Zigzagoon and a Trainer. The Trainer told them about Surskit and Ralts, rare Pokemon that supposedly lived on this route. We rusume their journey now, almost to Petalburg.
Andrew: We're almost there, Pyrochiken.
Pyrochiken had been eating the crackers like crazy to regain his energy, and the box was almost empty.
Rustle
Pyrochiken stops, listening.
Rustle
It was goming from a bush. Eager for a battle, Pyrochiken burns down the bush. Out pops a Surskit.
Surskit: Skit-skit!
Andrew turns around.
Andrew: A rare Surskit! Pokeball, go!
The Surskit vanishes into the Pokeball, but then breaks out.
Andrew: I guess I have to weaken it. Pyrochiken, Ember!
Pyrochiken uses Ember, nailing the Surskit. The Surskit then drenched itself in water.
Andrew: Water Sport. Scratch!
Pyrochiken Scratches Surskit, who Bubblebeams him back.
Andrew: Pyrochiken's weak against water!
Pyrochiken ran for the box of crackers.
Andrew: Hey! This is no time for a snack break!
Surskit, seing how effective his attack was, started to use Bubblebeam.
Andrew: Pyrochiken, hurry up!
Surskits head was starting to squrt water....
Andrew: Pyrochiken?
Bubbles were coming out....
Andrew: PYROCHIKEN!!!
Before Surskit could use Bubblebeam, Pyrochiken threw a cracker at him.
Andrew:???Cracker Attack?
The Surskit, distracted, started eating the cracker. Pyrochiken pointed at a Pokeball.
Andrew: Huh? Oh! Pokeball, go!
The Surskit didn't know what had happened. One moment it was eating a cracker, the next it was inside some wierd, dark, space. It was so confused, it didn't even try to escape. Surskit was caught.

OOC: If that was too long, then I'm sorry. I think I got carried away on this one.
