Into The Cascades...

[Wayne Fourie]

"Wow....." Wayne Said whilst taking in the surroundings, the beautiful cascading waters, the amazing almost mystical feel to the place..."This is remarkable!! What do you think chikorita?.... Chikorita? Where you??"

"Chi Chi Chikaaaa" Chikorita Exclaimed from a pool of water... She had been running in it for quite some time now, rolling about in it, splashing and jumping...

"Awww Chikorita, your a grass type, so you like water!!"... Wayne then stopped and looked around.. "I wonder... What pokemon are there here ... I'm guessing some water types... Maybe even rock types?? Or not so much cause its wet.... Hmmmm.. What else could there be?? Hey Robin let's take a look around!"

Chikorita came running feeling as though she was going to be left behind... She followed wayne closely as they explored the waterfall cavern

[Robin Euro]

Robin smiled politely at her friend. His pokemon was busy splashing around in the pond underneath the waterfall. Before she could think again, Wingull dove into the water and splashed Robin and... whats-his-face wet. "Oh that's just great Wingy! First you poop on me and then you make me wet with cave water!" she yelled and walked closer to the pond. As she stared down at her reflection a wave of shock spread through her body. "What's going on with my hair?" she screamed and before she could get an answer, she dunked her entire head into the water.

When she came out, she realised what she had just done, and started shivering. "Wingull," she screamed like a crazy person. "Be a doll and blow me dry as we walk?" she asked and followed the boy. The extra weight to her hair, made her hair cling to her head and body, causing it to hang almost to her feet.

"I don't know what we could find. Perhaps some Kabutos or look..." she exclaimed as something orange came out of the water, staring them both in they eye. "It's a Magikarp! How cuuuuute," she said excitedly and got another pokeball out of her bag. "You should catch this one too. It's quite easy to get them tired, and they're so adorable! Apparently, if they get really old, they can use their splash ability to jump over entire mountains!" she informed him.

The Magikarp opened his mouth slowly as he stared at them dumbly. Robin awaited an intriguing noise but all that came out... was a bubble.

[Wayne Fourie]

Wayne stared at the bubble coming from magikarps mouth..."What a let down... Hey I wanna get closer to it!!" Wayne walked closer to the magikarp and knelt down next to it...suddenly the magikarp jumped and swung around slapping wayne across the face... The force making him fall on his backside into the water...

"What on Earth??!!" Wayne said surprized... "What did it just do??"

Chikorita came running in anger, and jumped onto waynes head stomping her foot at the magikarp "Chika chik ckikareeee!!!" She moaned jumping and huffing ontop of waynes head.. "Chikorita owww come ooon stop you ow ow ow ow hurting meeee!!"....

"Alright Chika... Let's do this!! Use tackle!!"... Chikorita jumped off of waynes head and slammed into the magikarp causing it to skip across the top of the water like a stone and finally sinking..."Is that it??" Suddenly the water erupted as magikarp jumped up out of the water and charged at chikorita.... She became scared... "Don't be scared chikorita... Brace yourself!!"

Chikorita hunched towards the ground and awaited magikarps assault... The magikarp ploughed through the water and sprung out again... Heading straight towards chikorita..... And bounced on chikoritas head using splash...

"Wheh.... Its using splash???.... Alright chikorita let's finish this off... Taking it while its still above you!!" When magikarp jumped again... Chikorita tackled it from underneath sending it high into the air.... "All right its pokeball time... Pokeball go!!" Wayne threw the pokeball at magikarp... The red beam extending and absorbing it into the pokeball... The pokeball then landed and started to shake..."Ooooh please be caught!!"...the light went red... "Alright its caught!!! Yes!!"... Then the pokeball opened and magikarp came out and started using splash ontop of waynes head!

[Robin Euro]

Robin folded her arms as she watched the boy walking closer to the Magikarp. She braced herself for what was about to happen. Magikarp were easily scared. As if he could read her thoughts, he started splashing about and hit Mark in the face with his tail. "Awwwww! Look, it's excited," she exclaimed in awe and waited for what would happen next. As Chikorita tackled it for the first time, she looked away. She never was one for violence. The second time looked much more dreadful though.

"Don't hurt him!" Robin squealed. "He's just scared!" She waited for her friend to capture the pokemon, but he failed. As if wanting to entertain them, the Magikarp jumped up and splashed on Wayne's head. (That was his name, wayne!) "O my gosh that's so cute!" she yelled and ran towards Wayne. She touched the Magikarp gently, feeling the contrast between his rough skin and his soft tailfin. "It's beautiful," she said in awe. In actual fact it was quite disgusting, but Robin had a warped view of beauty! "Try again, Wayne," she told him. "I'm not going to help you this time. Get Chikorita to use a grass type move on him. He's weak against it," she informed him.

[Wayne Fourie]

"Meh... Alright chikorita let's try this again" Wayne said as the magikarp jumped about on his head..."Chikorita use vine whip!!"...
Chikorita extended its vines and went for magikarp and just before the attack would have hit, magikarp jump up and into the pond...the vines kept going and smacked wayne in the head....wayne fell backwards into the pond a second time... His face now showing off two red marks down his face.. "OWWWWWWWw" he cried and got up.. "Chikorita!!! what was that for!! Try vine whipping it again!!"

Chikoritas face went blood red as she tried again... The vines extended and whacked magikarp... The poor magikarp gave a slight monotone squeal and coiled over... Floating on its side... "Alright let's try a pokeball again!!" Wayne said as he threw the ball again, this time the magikarp not even giving a struggle within..."Ooooh yeah!!! I caught a magikarp!! Way to go chikorita!!"

Chikorita jumped in excitement and splashed in the pond, laying down in the shallow pond side to rest..."Chikaaah"..."Shame Chikorita is beat robyn, I'm gna let magikarp out so he can rest and heal up a tad, he took quite a beating... Magikarp go!"... Magikarp came out of the pokeball and in a monotone voice said "magi...kaaaarp".... And used splash on Waynes head yet again..."Meh... This is going to be a loooong journey"

[Robin Euro]

Robin smiled and applauded softly as Magikarp was drawn into the pokeball. "Well done. You're Chikorita is getting quite strong. Good job sweety," she told the little green ball of excitement and tried to pat her on the head. Instead of gratefulness, Robin just had her finger bitten. "Charming..." she said softly and sucked on her finger.

Robin walked over to Wayne where he was standing with his Magikarp. She was quite proud of the newbie. He was going to be great one day. "You're getting good at this," Robin said without making eye contact as she leaned over the edge of the pond. She tried to get her face as close as possible to the Magikarp's. "You're beautiful," she whispered as she traced a scale on his face with one of her fingers.

Laughing slightly at the harmless attack on Wayne's head, she gave him a stern look. "That was enough jesting around now, we need to find Dawn," she said as she started walking in a random direction. "Let's try this," she said and let out all of her pokemon.

"Hoothoot, I want you to go in this direction," she said and pointed to her right. "And look for Dawn. If you don't find her there in ten minutes, come back to me. Pidove, same goes to you. But you head to the left. Wingull come with me, we'll go in this direction with Mark... I mean Wayne."

[Wayne Fourie]

"Alright that sounds like a plan!! Magikarp return!!" Magikarp returned to his pokeball in a stream of red light and Wayne placed the ball on his belt... "Okay your turn chikorita, come back"... The red stream from chikoritas pokeball went towards her and before getting close enough chikorita jumped out of the way and shook her head.. "Ckika!" She said refusing to go into the pokeball..."Alright you can stay out.. For now... Let's go with Robin"

They begin walking down the cave Wayne watching as Chikorita skipped along happily..."Hey Robin, I guess some pokemon don't like being in there pokeballs hey?" He said thoughtfully.... You have quite a few pokemon, you must be a really good trainer!! I want to be good someday.... How far until we get to Dawn??"
