Pokemon: Pick Cyndaquil

From Create Your Own Story

Current revision as of 20:29, 22 May 2016

You look at the three see through red on the top, blurry but clear on the bottom, balls in your hand. You realize that the ball with the yellow creature is hotter than the others. You have studied Pokémon, relatively, and know that it is a Cyndaquil. A fire type. So, yeah the ball is hot. It is looking up at you with adorable eyes. You hand the other two back to Professor Gary. "I choose Cyndaquil!" You say officially. "Ok then."

You don't really pay attention after that. You are too busy gawking at the blurry creature inside the smooth ball. You want to send it out, but you must wait. The tall blond boy at the far end picks Chikorita. The boy next to you with slick black hair and cold yellowish/brown eyes chooses Totodile.

The Professor gives you each a bag of supplies and A POKEDEX!!!!!!!!! It records all the data of Pokémon you catch. OMG this is amazing. The mini computer is red and about the size of your palm. You want to check it out, but you'll have to wait for that too.

Eventually, Gary sees you off, and as you walk out of the gate, you see Windy. OH YEAH OMG YOU FORGOT. She had a gift for you. Maybe it was a Pokémon. And she wanted to tell you something. You approach her. "Sorry sis, I was in a rush."

"S'okay," Windy replies hastily. Her blond hair is a tangle. It look like she ran all the way here, maybe carrying something heavy....

You glance over at the two boys. They have started a battle, Chikorita and Totodile are clashing head on. You want to battle the winner of this so bad...

"Forest! This is important!" Windy leads you under a tree.

"Touch the tree, Forest."

Windy had asked for weirder things. You really want to get in on that battle so you just obey.

"What do you feel."

"I feel bark on my fingers"! You reply impatiently.

"I need you to focus. Quit goofing off, this is urgent!" There really is a note of anger in her voice. "Does the tree give you any kind of energy?"

You take a deep breath. You do love nature...it would be weird if you didn't, hence your name. There is something there...yes, energy.

"I--I feel it." Windy nods.

"Forest, have you ever found it weird? Dad's name is Burny. I'm Windy. Your Forest."

"Mom's Molly."

"Yeah but us three." She waits. "Elements! Burny is fire. Windy is air. Forest is nature!"

"SO, then our parents named us weird things!' Windy shakes her head impatiently. "Do you know the real reason I like to travel in the mountains." She waits. "My fighting is better there. It is very Windy. Dad became a fire gym leader. You, do you remember that time when we took you for a hike, and you pushed cousin Jake in the lake. He was fourteen, you were eight. And he was teasing you. You guys started having like a chicken fight. But then you got really mad. There was this aura of power about you. It was creepy. You let out a yell and grabbed him and pushed him in the creek! And.....and the trees seemed to sway in your direction!"

You do remember this. Not the moving trees part but pushing Jake in the water. "What's your point? you demand impatiently, aware that the battle is probably over.

"You were born under a tree, didn't mom and dad tell you that? Did she even tell you the reason her and dad divorced?"

You shake your head.

"You know what? This conversation is for another day. The point is. Be careful in the Forest." She pauses, choosing her words carefully. "You possess great Power there, but be careful. I'll call you on the phone, Forest. But take this." She brings out from her belt a dagger. About a foot long silver blade. Engraved with a gemstone. "That is the rare blue emerald gemstone, Windy explains. Good luck." And she runs off. You are so stunned that all you can do is stare at the glinting blade in your hand.

You are walking along the pathway that leads to Cherrygrove city. You feel nervous when the dagger is out from your belt, so you keep in in there. You call it the Blue Emerald dagger, you have decided.

You take out Cyndaquil's Pokéball, finally ready to introduce yourself to it. When you push the white button the Ball goes from the size of a grape the size of an apple!

Then a blue light seeps out of the Pokéball, forming a shape. wherever the light seeps out, part of a yellow furry creature is formed. It take about 5 seconds. Then there is a blinking creature in front of you, looking as nervous as you feel.

"H-hi!" You take a deep breath and force your brain to relax. You know that all mouse Pokemon are smart, and this Cyndaquil can probably smell your fear.

You could go for the, "I am your trainer and you must obey me!" approach, but the great Ash Ketchum, one of your biggest trainer heroes', advice is to be friends with your Pokémon.

So you slowly lower you hand to the trembling creature. You put your hand against it's head. There are some dark turquoise areas of the Cyndaquil's body. There feel silky and but with no fur, while the yellow parts are very furry. It also has almost blackish dots on it's back, that are rather like scales. Cyndaquil stays in a curled up position. You gently stroke it for a few minutes. Eventually, it uncurls it's body and looks at you cautiously.

"Hi Cyndaquil. I'm your new Trainer. My name is Forest Song. I hope we'll be able to be friends!" You know that some Pokemon are extremely smart but Cyndaquil looks at you understandingly and you think you see a slight nod of its head. It may just be a coincidence but... "I think I'll name you-" you continue before realizing you do not know Cyndaquil's gender. AWKWARD. Then you realize you can CHECK THE POKEDEX.

You take it out and press the large black button on the front you assume is the power button. Sure enough the screen appears. It takes you a few minutes to figure it out, but eventually you scan Cyndaquil, which makes the creature a bit uncomfortable, "sorry," but tells you that it's a baby, it's a male, it's level five, and it knows Tackle and Leer. SWEET.

You spend the next hour walking along route 29, getting to know Cyndaquil. You keep trying to think of good names. "Ember would be nice....if you were a girl." You say to the creature. Yo aren't sure how much human speak he can understand but oh well....

He gets used to you. He is a shy creature, so he won't let you pick him up, but Cyndaquil walks obediently alongside you. You make sure not to let him fall behind, as he walks cautiously. You want to maintain a sturdy relationship with your new friend. Not one of fright or commanding. And not one of him not listening to you. You are just about to take a lunch break when you hear a rustling in the bushes. Out comes......a Sentret. It is a baby. Very small. you are about to challenge it to battle when you realize it's running from something. That's when the giant bird flies out from the undergrowth!

It's the biggest Pidgey you have ever seen. Usually, if they get to adulthood without evolving, Pidgey's wingspan goes up to 1 foot. But this one's is at least 1 1/2, and the weird part is, usually the old ones aren't so aggressive, so this one must be young. (Ok, you do now a lot about Pokemon.) Pidgey dives at the Sentret with its beak and claws. You don't know why it's preying on it, as usually Pidgey prey on bugs. But you have to do something quick or........

"Cyndaquil!" you command. But the little fire mouse hides behind your legs. You don't blame him. He's not even the size of the Pidgey's body! And Pidgey is supposed to be known as the tiny bird Pokemon.
