"Oh well, it gives me time to befriend my Pok?mon!" I look at the bright side. I kneel to Azurill and play with it for a couple minutes. I hope they don't find it weird how I only have one Pok?mon...
Both Pok?mon started to play with each other. I took a glance at Akira's trainer bag, specifically the PokeBall pocket with the Pokemon. It had four lumps meaning three Pok?mon plus the Azurill!
"You have four Pokemon? I usually don't catch more until later on where the more fun Pok?mon appear but they become a hassle to grind. I might catch one right now while Max... max, right? is fighting the gym leader." I use the teleport warp next to the gym leader which became open when I asked the leader. I went outside and fortunately I found a Pansage. I caught it after I leveled it down and I healed it. I officially had two Pok?mon. I walked back inside the gym and used the warp.
"I caught a Pansage! Hopefully I'll have an easier time with the gym leader."
"I'm planning to use Azurill since I feel like he will evolve more quickly since I played with him so much times, but you're right about that. I hope I can grind Pansage if Azurill levels up higher than Pansage..." I said with a tone of laziness. I'm the type who prefers the level of each Pokemon the same or a few levels apart.
With only 2 Sparks to Surskit and Vivillion, I win the battle and recieves the Bug Badge. "Thanks and bye." I then bolt across the spider web without falling and leave the Gym.
I stood up and looked at Akira. "I'm going to go catch some Pokemon." I said and went into route 22.
I caught a Litleo and Bidoof in a few minutes. "Hm, this Bidoof could be a good HM teammate."
Hmm.......to be sure I found now a Fletching and a Bunnelby. I named Fletching "Fletchy" and I Bunnelby "Diggyby." Well I guess that I'll be battling with more wild Pokemon like a Pancham and a Honeage.
"I don't think I properly introduced myself! My name is James and my Pok?mon are Azurill and Pansage. It's nice to meet you all. And yup, I got my first badge!"
