We were walking slowly down the route. “I can't wait 'till our first gym battle!!” I said, exited. “We have to catch some Pokèmon first,” said Lucas. “Oh... Right,” I said. We came across a Butterfree. I exitidly threw a Pokèball at it, but it failed. It hit the Butterfree, then bounced back and hit me in the forehead. “Ow!!” I yelled, rubbing my forehead. The Butterfree was angry now. “Butterfree!!” it shouted, angrily. It attacked, using Silver Wind. It hit Mew head on. Mew took the attack and was okay. “Betterfree?” it said, sounding shocked. Then, it ran away. “OH, DARN!!” I yelled, dissapointed. Just then, a green tail hit me in the face. “Ow, hey!!” I said turning. It was a Pokèmon with a green tail and body and yellow eyes. I held my Pokèdex up to it. “Treeko. The tree lizard Pokèmon. Treeko lives in tall trees, blending in with leaves to attack when least expected to,” said the nifty device. “What's a Treeko doing in the Hoenn region?” asked Lucas, surprised. “I dunno, but, Mew, use Mega Punch!!” I commanded. Mew's hand became very white and then it lunged at the Treeko. The attack hit, leaving Treeko injured. The wild Treeko used Pound, barely affecting my Mew. “Now, Mew, Aura Sphere!!” I commanded again. The attack smacked right into Treeko, making it too weak to attack. “Alright, go Pokèball!!” I said, throwing the red, white, and black device at the Treeko. It hit the ground next to it, sending a red light to capture the Treeko. Then, the ball squirmed a bit, and finally settled. “Yes!! I caught a Treeko!!” I cheered, happily. “Wow, good job!! While you were doing that, I caught a Pidgy,” he said, proud. We continued walking, each of us having another full Pokèball. “What's the next city?” I asked. “Petalburg, I think,” said Lucas, thoughtfully. “Great, we can get something to eat, finally!!” I said, happily, stomach growling. We both laughed, ready to hit the next gym. Suddenly, I bumped into a girl. “Oh, exuse me,” she said. “I'm Allie.”
