beginning of an adventure

[Wayne Fourie]

-wayne walks into the cave ignoring the painted over sign with chikorita close behind, chikorita being to stubborn to spend her life in a pokeball..the cave seems eerie and chikorita runs inbetween waynes legs, shivering- "are you scared chikorita??" Said wayne in concern... "Chikaaa" quivered Chikorita....wayne smiled, picking up chikorita and holding her in his arms as they ventured forth into the cave, the dim light beginning to darken even more... "I wonder what strange things we will find in this cave??"Wayne said wonderingly out loud..

[Robin Euro]

Robin was new to the whole cave experience thing. She was supposed to have a meeting with a girl that lived in here, Dawn, but she wasn't sure if she was going to make it. To be fair, the meeting was scheduled for the previous day... but Robin got lost. She hated caves... no freedom at all. Her poor little bird pokemon had to climb back in their pokeballs for this trip. They couldn't fly about in the darkness.

Robin looked down at the cold stone floor of the cave. It didn't take long for her to notice that water was softly drizzling off the cave walls and onto the floor. She was barefoot, and could feel the cold spreading to her toes. "Should've brought shoes," she mumbled to herself as she shook her right foot in disgust. Out of loneliness she let Wingull free from his pokeball. With a screech, Wingull flew from his ball, circled Robin's head twice and pooped on her hair. "Oh great," she uttered in frustration, just as she walked into someone.

"Sorry about that," she apologized without looking up. "You should really look where you're going next time!" she added absentmindedly. After all, it was partially his fault... What kind of person spent his days in a cave?

[Wayne Fourie]

Wayne around in shock to find this girl in the cave with him "I'm sorry, you gave me quite the fright, I thought I was in here alone, and it was getting quite creepy.... Oh uhm I'm Wayne, pleased to meet you!" Wayne said excitedly, relieved to find someone else in the cave.. His eyes noticing her Wingull flying above, "Oh wow your a pokemon trainer too?? I've just started my journey with Chikorita.. And we came into this cave for... Well I don't really know.. Out of curiosity?"

Chikorita sprang angrily out of Waynes arms onto the floor, growling at the stranger angrily for walking into her partner.. "Chikaaaa chika ckiiiikah!!" She snarled trying to scar off the strangers, protecting wayne from them

"Chikorita stop it! They not bad guys... I'm sorry, she's very possessive of me and has a bit of a temper" wayne explained with a laugh..."How rude of me, what's your name?"

[Robin Euro]

Robin looked up for a second to see a young man introducing himself to her. She didn't really hear anything he was saying though, she just treated it like white noise as she tried to finger the poop out of her hair. Having such long hair obviously had its downsides too. Suddenly, she heard the boy asking her if she was a pokemon trainer. How cute. "I run a gym in Lustrati City," she said while motioning with her hand upwards. "It's a city in the sky. Quite nice. You should come over some time. I've got some badges to give out."

Without warning, some green thing jumped out of the boy's arms and started screaming at her. Her jaw dropped in shock and her mouth stayed open as the boy disciplined his pokemon. "How... lovely..." she uttered. "I've never really been a fan of chickens... why can't they fly?" she asked him out of curiosity. "My name's Robin," she answered. "I don't like caves. Walk with me?" she offered as she continued into the darkness. "You have nice eyes," she said as-a-matter-of-factly without looking back. "What did you say your name was? I didn't care to listen earlier."

[Wayne Fourie]

"My nmae is wayne.. Pleased to meet you"he said reluctantly wondering about this girls aloofness..."Sure let's walk... But further in this dark cave? Do you have a torch?"

Chikorita huffed and turned her back to the gym leader.. And waddled ahead of them, looking back often to make sure they were close as she was still scared but too proud to admit it... Her leaf ontop of her head swaying agitatedly

"So.." Said wayne, "where does this cave lead to.. Its spooky... And like what's in here?? I hope we find something cool and exciting... I'm new to all of this so I guess even spotting a pokemon will be exciting to me".. Wayne continued ahead into the cave, observing Chikorita's stubborn behavior and chuckling to himself... All of this was truly exciting

[Robin Euro]

"This cave leads to... more cave... And if you follow the right path you get to the gym inside of here. Dawn Pour lives there. She's the Water Type Gym leader. If you practice a bit now, you would probably be able to take her..." Robin stopped in her tracks and midsentence. "You see those," she asked and pointed to the wall of the cave. A set of about twenty heart shaped patterns were on the wall. "Woobats are close. They have heartshaped noses and use it to suck to cave walls. It leaves that kind of mark," she explained to him.

It was quite fulfilling to see a new trainer. It reminded her of when she started out. "If you want I'll help you battle a pair," she went on. This Wayne boy was starting to grow on her. And he did have nice eyes. As she started walking again she noticed Chikorita glancing at her every now and then. "I don't think your chicken likes me. Wingull, use mist near Chikorita," she said louder into the darkness around her. Wingull flapped his wings and left refreshing mist on Chikorita's leaf. "Plants like water, right?" she confirmed from the boy.

She chose to ignore the torch question. After all, Robin did despise herself a bit now for not bringing one. "Look," she said softly and stopped again. A pair of woobats was in the corner, rubbing their heartshaped noses together.

[Wayne Fourie]

"Ooooh this is exciting I've never seen those before??? Are they strong?" Wayne said excitedly jumping around in excitement. "Chikorita, our first battle! Are you ready!!"

Chikorita spun around at the sound of her name, looking at Robin and Wingull Giving A slight smile in thanks, then realizing what she was doing gave a big huff and ran towards Wayne, "CHIIIIKA!!" She said loudly, crouching down and readying for the battle ahead, her little heart racing with the excitement of proving herself and getting stronger..

Wayne stopped suddenly, his face reddening slightly..."Errr how do we do this, this is my first battle... Can I just follow your lead Robin?" He said embarrassed...bowing his head trying to hide his tomatoed face...

Chikorita turned her head to look at Wayne and gave a huge sigh... "Chiiiikah" she said in a 'bleh' kind of way

[Robin Euro]

"They're not that strong. These look quite young. It should be good practice for you," she said and ignored the boy's blush. She was a beginner too at a stage. "First we need to get their attention. Which is quite difficult because they live in their own little world." Robin moved around and wondered what she should start with. Wingull was already out, and he enjoyed the wetness of the cave.

"Wingull, watergun them deary," she said nonchalantly and sat down on a rock. A jet of cold water erupted from wingull's beak and sent the two woobats flying in opposite direction. They started rapidly flapping their leathery wings and returned to face their opponents. "This is your show, Wayne," she added with a polite smile and ruffaged in her shoulderbag. "Try something simple first, like tackle," she advised. She took out a flask of coffee and poured it into two plastic cups. "Want coffee?" she asked with her mouth behind her cup, ready to take a sip. She wondered what her new friend would think of her aloofness. This wasn't her first pokemon batlle however. "Any day now," she added as she crossed her right leg over the left.

[Wayne Fourie]

"Woobats huh... Alright Chikorita let's get going!!"He exclaimed in excitedness forgetting all about the coffee being offered. "Tackle you say.. Hmmm" He looks at Chikorita.."Okay let's go with that, Chikorita, tackle the one to your left!!"

Chikorita burst forward "Chikaaaaaaaaaa!!" Her leaf bobbing from side to side ontop of her head, as she neared the Woobat she jumped up and closed her eyes, her whole body slamming against the woobat forcing in to the ground with her ontop of it, LChika Chika Ckikaaaa!!!" She said excitedly thinking the battle was over... Suddenly the other woobat came out of nowhere and used tackle on her..
"No Chikorita!!" Wayne yelled hoping she was okay.. The momentum of the tackle making her roll several times on the floor... She began to stagger back to her feet... A look fulling her face with rage "CHIIIIIIIIIIIIIK CHIIIIIKAAAA" she ran towards the woobat trying to tackle it again... This time the 2nd woobat dodged her attack easily

"Chikorita calm down, you can't battle angry!!" Wayne said in desperation, "Your going to get hurt!".... He looked over at robin for some help giving a mild lost puppy x desperation look...

[Robin Euro]

Robin was mesmerized by the battle as she sipped from her coffee. She laughed in excitement and applauded. "Good work," she said with a kind smile and continued drinking. "Let's try something," she went on as she stood up. She beckoned Wingull closer to her. He came flapping nearer and landed on her shoulder. She whispered something to him and he shot into the sky again.

Glancing at the surroundings again, she walked over to where Wayne was standing. A screech made her look up to her Wingull. "He's using gust," she said softly to her partner. "It's going to create a whirlwindish thingy. Tell your... darling Chikorita to use Vine Whip. If my plan works, we'll end up tying them together in Chikorita's vines," she finished off with an excited look on her face.

Robin missed having a partner. She's been battling alone for so long now. Nobody seemed to enjoy her slow and breezy company. "This is fun," she stated blandly as she returned to her seat where her bag was lying. After sticking her arm in it for a few moments, she flung a pokeball to Wayne. It hit him on the head and fell to his feet. "You can catch it if you want. They're quite cute." She held her cup with a firmer grip as Wingull's gust started making a strong whirlwind.

[Wayne Fourie]

"Oooh that's clever! You hear that Chikorita?" He said with excitement... Watching as wingull used gust trapping the two woobats in a gust.. "Now use vine whip!!"

Chikorita jumped back and 2 vines extended from the seeds around her neck, a whipping sound echoed in the cave as the vines extended at a speed towards the woobats... The vines getting caught in the gust and beginning to tie around the woobats.. The gust began dispersing causing the woobats to hit against a wall of the cave, their eyes now crossed "woooooo...bat" they said as they passed out

"Alright!! You did it chikorita!!" Wayne exclaimed fist pumping... Then remembering the pokeball on the floor.. He picked it up... "Wow I'm going to catch my first pokemon!! Alright let's do this.. Pokeball.. Go!!" He said as he threw the pokeball at one of the woobats.. Hitting it on the head as a beam of red light came from the ball when it opened and absorbed the woobat into it, the ball fell to the floor and started rocking as the light shimmered... Ding.. Ding.. Dong.. Woobat was caught! "Yes!! We did it!! Wow that was so fun! Thank you for your help robin and wingull!" He said picking up the pokeball...

"Chika?" Chikorita said in a 'what about me'way... "And Cjikorita you were amazing!!" Chikoritas face lit up and she ran at a speed towards wayne jumping into his arms and knocking him over onto the floor.. "Hahahah chikorita.."He said stroking her head..."Chika!!!"She said happily...

"So Robin... Where to from here?" He said looking around the once again quiet cave..

[Robin Euro]

"Yes... YES!" Robin started cheering as the plan worked. She laughed hysterically witha joy and applauded the performance. After everything else was silent again, she became thoroughly aware of the fact that she must've looked like a crazy person. She straightened herself up and cleared her throat. "Well done," she said politely and offered a hand to her partner who was now on the ground. Apparently the weight of his chicken was too much for him. "If your chicken is too fat, they have diet pokemon food at pokemon shops," she said kindly as she packed her things back in her bag. "Here's your coffee," she mentioned and stuffed the plastic cup in his hand, spilling almost all of it.

I think we should continue searching for Dawn. We're supposed to have a meeting, but the silly woman won't come out of the cave. She insisted that I came here. Apparently she can't leave her precious gym for a second." Robin made a rude hand gesture as she mocked her colleague. Sometimes, one just has to take one for the team. "Let's goooo..." she guessed as they reached a fork in the path. "This way," she finished and chose the one on the right. "What's your plans while staying here?" Robin asked her company. She scratched her head where some poop still resided. "Silly Wingull," she muttered under her breath as he landed on her shoulder once again.

[Wayne Fourie]

I get up slowly picking up Chikorita and give her a tight hug and begin walking again as she jumps out his arms to run around, gaining more confidense after the battle.. "Thank you for the coffee" wayne said while sipping on the coffee.."It is getting quite cold..."

Chikorita slowly approached Robin.. And looked at her in the eyes.."Chika!!" Her face went red as she huffed and puffed, venting her frustration at the fat comment...she then stomped her little foot, lifted her head upwards and swung around trotting with her eyes closed straight into the wall of the cave!.... Knocking her onto her bottom and speedily looking around blushing to see if anyone saw..

Wayne looked away quickly, trying his hardest not to laugh..."Well robin, I plan to take on the Gym leaders and extend my knowledge of pokemon...and as you said earlier there is a gym leader further in this cave.. So that's where I'm heading"...

Chikorita walked over to me and gave a mighty yawn... "Chiiiiiiiiikaaaaaaah" she said tiredly, and curled into a ball on the floor and fell asleep...

"Oh well I guess we setting up camp here for the night?" He said while digging in his bag for his tent and matches.. And starts a camp fire...and sets up a tent...picking up chikorita and setting her in the tent under a blanket..."Well are you going to set up a camp too? After that battle I think chikorita needs a rest"...

[Robin Euro]

Camp... Seriously? Sleeping in a cave? Why don't they just lock themselves in cages and sleep there? It would probably be safer. Robin had to admit, with all the excitement, she hadn't realised how late it had gotten. "Yeah... Camp..." she muttered as chikorita threw some little tantrum. "I think your chicken is constipated too," she added politely. "She looks worked up. Nothing some canalope juice can't fix," she added and plunked down on the floor.

"Oh I don't have camping tools," she said in surprise. What kind of barbarian actually carried tents and fire with him? That was just strange, and she wasn't one of those strange people... "Ill just sleep next to you in your tent," she stated and shrugged. There was no way she was sleeping in the cold water. And the boy with the eyes (she had forgotten his name again) was such a sweetheart, she was sure he was a gentleman as well. "I've got some snacks in here," she murmurred as she searched in her bag, throwing a pack of marshmallows in Eye-Boy's direction.

[Wayne Fourie]

Wayne snacked on some of the treats and pulled out an extra sleeping bag from the quite small bag... Thinking to himself how weird this little backpack was, carrying all this stuff in it.. He shrugged it off with a yawn and got in the sleeping bag, holding Chikorita in his arms...

"Well thanks for today robin, I learnt so much from you and Chikorita has grown so much already!! Well Goodnight and sweet dreams... Just hop no scary pokemon come out at night in caves..."He said thinking thoroughly... And then remembered its always dark in caves so it shouldn't make much difference... He then stroked chikorita and smiled thinking of what will happen in the next few days and his first Gym challenge...

"Well.. Sleep tight" he said while drifting off to dreamland...
