A New Teammate

[KittyCatKilala]

Kilala and Charmander were on their way to Arch Town. "Wow, It's really pretty here." Kilala commented taking in the scenery of the nearby trees. "Just look at all the Pokemon here Charmander!" The two continued to walk. They saw a few Pokemon playing happily around them. "The Pokemon here look so happy." Kilala smiled. "Charmander. Char." Charmander agreed. "Hmmm....We've been walking for some time now want to take a break?" Kilala asked with a little yawn. "Mander." Charmander nodded. The two sat down in the grass. Kilala stretched out on her back and looked up at the bright blue sky. It was a sunny day with only a few clouds out. She rolled over on her stomach, holding her head up in her hands as she watched the nearby Pokemon play in the sun. Charmander even got up and started playing with them. Kilala laughed. They looked like they were having fun.

Through the bushes a little ways away, came the rustling sound of an approaching pokemon. Black eyes looked upon the scenery as a round, brown body moved a little more out of the safety of the bushes. She was unsure, what if something scary was out there? Would she be able to survive? What if it ate her. Or...was she just being paranoid? Her mother had taught her to always be careful, and that's what she was doing but...at the same time she felt she was being too cautious. The cute little Sentret finally gained the courage to pop out of the bushes, gazing around to not find much of anything, making her think the coast was clear. She grinned, before happily bouncing out after landing from standing on her tail. She kept a cheery smile on, before she accidentally ran into something odd feeling. Her eyes opened to see what looked to be a foot-shaped device, before turning her gaze to the right to see what was attached to it. At once, a loud shriek escaped the Sentret, sending all the pokemon away, knowing this shriek meant danger. The poor little girl trembled, before beginning to back away.

Kilala jumped when something behind her screamed. She turned to see a small Sentret. "Huh?" Kilala pulled her Pokedex out of her bag and aimed it at the Sentret. "Sentret, the Scout Pokémon. Sentret is able to see great distances by rising up on its tail. When it spots an enemy, or any kind of danger, it emits a loud, shrill cry as a warning." The Pokedex stated. "A Sentret, huh. OK! Charmander, Ember let's go!" She instructed as she got to her feet. She slipped the Pokedex back in her bag. Charmander looked over after hearing the noise. "Charmander?" He soon heard Kilala's command and ran over to her to see a Sentret. Following orders Charmander gathered fire in his mouth before releasing it toward the Sentret.

A cry escaped the Sentrent as she was knocked to the ground, her tail on fire and the rest of her aching from a burn, causing her to whimper and look at them with fear. Why were they doing this? She hadn't done anything to this pokemon and human, and they were already attacking her for no reason. Tears were in her eyes, and she looked at the Charmander, asking it in her high-pitched tone,"W-Why are you hurting me?" She felt a little weak, like she was about to faint, but at the same time she was ready to defend if needed, and stared at him still with those innocent black eyes.

"I'm just doing as I'm told. Charmander answered her. "Huh? What's the matter Charmander?" Kilala asked. She saw the tears in the Sentret's eyes. "Oh no! I didn't mean to make it cry!" Kilala's smiled had faded. She hadn't caught a Pokemon before. Come to think of it, she hadn't battled one yet either. "I'm sorry. Sentret. I guess I'm not a very good trainer. Maybe a potion might make it feel better." Kilala looked in her bag for a potion. "But then again your supposed to weaken them to catch them, right?" Kilala was asking herself. "Ohhh....I wish my brother was here. He could tell me what to do."

[kiwawa]

"But it hurrttss," she whined, rubbing her burnt shoulder, before looking at the human who suddenly seemed sad and concerned. She was talking, saying some things, but all she understood was "feel better". Did she want her to feel better and stop crying? That was strange of a human to say, did this mean that she liked her? She wasn't sure if she should trust her, she made her pokemon attack her. But, she never had a friend before, not since her mother vanished mysteriously, maybe this human and Charmander could be her friends...did they want to be. A sniffle escaped her, and she looked a the two with wide eyes, before slowly, ever so slowly, waddling towards the two with a sore body, before slowly stopping next to the Charmander, looking up at Kilala innocently,"Sen?"

[KittyCatKilala]

"OK, potion it is." Kilala answered her own question. "It's OK she's gonna help you." Charmander smiled as he turned to look at Kilala. She found one and pulled it out of her bag. "This might sting a little." Kilala slowly moved toward the Sentret, trying not to frighten her more. When she got close enough, she sprayed the potion on her. "Feel better?" Kilala asked. Charmander had moved to Kilala's side. He felt Kilala wasn't going to order another attack. "I'm really sorry. I'm not sure how this goes yet, but I'm trying. Right, Charmander?" Kilala apologized again. "Char." Charmander agreed. "Do you want to join us, Sentret? I have a feeling we could be good friends." Kilala's smiled returned. She pulled a Pokeball out of her bag and put it down in front of Sentret.

[kiwawa]

Getting assurance from the Charmander, she stood completely still, looking at the female who sprayed a potion on her, stinging her for the most part, but after awhile she felt much better. She heard her say those words again, except in question form, and she happily nodded, feeling indeed much better. Her eyes shut to take in a little sunlight, before listening to the girl speak to her more, sounding sincere and apologetic. She would need to get used to this new language if she ever wanted to communicate. She stared with wide eyes, watching her pulling out a familiar red and white ball, set it next to side her then pull her hand away. That thing held pokemon...but nothing came out. Did that mean she wanted something to go in? Did she want her to go in...? Did she want to? She wasn't so sure and let her ears flop over her eyes in confusion, before reaching her final decision. It would be nice to have warm shelter, new friends protecting, and maybe some food? The more she thought about it, the more the idea of entering that pokeball sounded nice. So, without another thought, she looked at the button, managed to press it, and jumped into the ball.

Kilala watched Sentret eye the Pokeball. She wasn't sure if Sentret knew what it was. She was just about to take the ball back when Sentret pushed the button. "Oh!" Kilala gasped as Sentret disappeared in a flash of white light. The Pokeball shook once. Twice. Three times. Then it stopped and the button changed from glowing red to its normal white color. "Yes! I caught Sentret!" Kilala cheered as she swooped up the ball and held it in the air. "Looks like we have a new friend, Charmander!" She continued to cheer. "Come on out, Sentret!" She threw the Pokeball and out came a white light that took the shape of the newly caught Sentret. "Well, that was an exciting break. Welcome to the group Sentret. I'm Kilala and this is Charmander. " She held her hand out to shake her new friend's paw. The sun caught Kilala's attention. It was beginning to set. "We better start going. Come on guys!" The three headed out down the path again.
