Chapter 2: Route 1
The wind shifted to the south and the air smelled of flowers. Max smiled. So this is what traveling is going to be like eh? Max thought to himself as he walked along the route.
"Woah! I haven't seen who my partner is yet." Max said taking the pokeball of his belt "Go, pokeball!"
A blue dog like pokemon with black things hanging off of hi head appeared. Max didn't know what this pokemon was so he took his pokedex out and learned more about him.

Riolu, the emanation pokemon. The aura that emanates from its body intensifies to alert others if it is afraid or sad.
"Well hi there Riolu." Max said holding his hand out to pet Riolu.
"Lu." Riolu said turning its head.
"Well. I have a feeling you'll warm up to me one day." Max said.
Riolu looked at him as if to say "Yeah. Sure we'll be friends." Max continued walking along the route with Riolu right next to him. Riolu looked at him desiringly and stuck his righ tfoot out in front of Max.
"Wah!" Max said falling face first in the dirt "Riolu!"
Riolu didn't react all he did was smirk.
"What am I going to do with you?" Max asked sitting up staring at Riolu.
Riolu's ears tensed up, and Riolu jumped back and faced a bush as if to get ready to attack.
"What's wrong buddy?" Max asked.
"Luuu." Riolu growled.
Then the bushs started rustling. A pokemon that had a bell looking head and looked as if it were attached to a vine came walking out. Max swiped his pokedex out to check it.

Bellsprout, the flower pokemon. A carnivorous pokemon that traps and eats bugs. It uses its roots to soak up needed moisture. Even though its body is extremely skinny, it is blindingly fast when catching its prey. It plants its feet deep underground to replenish water. It can't escape its enemies while rooted. Bellsprout often starts a battle of with Growth which will increase its special attacks. It would be wise to launch your most powerful attack before Bellsprou does.
Max smiled.
"Riolu. Let's make Bellsprout part of our team...What do ya say?" Max asked smiling down at Riolu.
Riolu looked up at him and nodded in agreement.
"Ok then Riolu use Endure!" Max said raising Riolu's defense first.
Bellsprout caught on quick as a rabbit and threw a vine at Riolu's foot, causing Riolu to fall to the ground face first.
"Riolu. Use Quick Attack." Max said.
Riolu got up and ran over Bellsprout's vine and hit Bellsprout's head hard. Bellsprout got up and then picked it vine up and wrapped it around Riolu. Then the Bellsprout threw him staright to the ground.
"Riolu!" Max said running over to Riolu.
Riolu got up with difficulty but then looked mad.
"Riolu use Quick Attack." Max said.
Riolu got up and dodged in and out of Bellsprout's vine that kept on being thrown at him. He caught one and yanked it to himself, causing Bellsprout to be sent coming with it. Riolu put some force behind it but left his fist sitting ready for Bellsprout. bellsprout fell to the ground. Then unsuspectingly Bellsprout's vine curled around Riolu's feet and Riolu fell to the ground with a thud.
"Riolu use quick Attack." Max said knowing this was going to be a close match.
Riolu with difficulty got up and hopped over to Bellsprout and then jumped on top of it.
"Now. Go pokeball!" Max said throwing one of the pokeballs he got from Oak at Bellsprout.
Bellsprout disappered inside the ball and it wriggled back and forth. Back and forth until...
