Snippet #1626217

As Barbie and Dieter headed down Route 4, a rustle in the grass stopped them both in their tracks. A pair of cute brown ears popped up from behind some tall grass. From the grass popped out a Sentret, scanning the area from its tail. It rotated slowly around, its ears perked up listening for any sounds. Finally it turned to Barbie and her Totodile. It let out a high-pitched cry, and the sound of numerous other Sentret scurrying away could be heard. "Tret! Tret!" it screeched, as it ran about in a panic.

Barbie saw the sentret and took a brief pause to write down it's actions in her notebook. She took another moment to scan it in her Pokedex, but by that time, totodile was already chasing after it. "Dieter!" Barbie called out, chasing the pokemon. "Scratch!" Barbie yelled again, easily keeping up with her totodile.

Totodile ran forward and jumped in the air, his little claws glowing white and preparing for an aerial scratch.

Aware that there was no escaping the Totodile now, Sentret rolled up its body to take the Scratch with a Defense Curl, hoping to boost its measly defenses. Unfortunately, Totodile's hastiness gave it just the speed it needed to catch Sentret just before it could compeletely brace itself. Sliding back through the grass, the Sentret smacked up against a tree. Feeling cornered, the little Pokémon decided to fight back. It launched itself with its tail, returning Totodile's Scratch with one of its own. What the little gator had in speed, it lacked in defense, and the attack would undoubtedly hit for reasonable damage should it hit its mark.

Totodile was hit with a scratch on it's leg, the gator was trying to get away but didn't get the hang of dodging just yet.

"Dieter, scratch it again!" Barbelle called out, knowing she would have to go to a pokemon center after this battle. Luckily they haven't gone to far, and totodile was faster than sentret, plus had more health. Yet it was all a bargain. Whether her totodile could pull it off or not.

"Dieter! Leer!" Barbie called out, running alongside her totodile. Totodile sped up it's pace what and ran to stand in front of sentret, to temporarily distract it from running. Barbie threw her empty pokeball out, hoping to catch sentret.

The Sentret squealed and a bright light flashed around it. The Pokéball wiggled on the ground, its center glowing red. Once... twice... three times! The ball clicked and the Sentret was caught!

When Barbie saw that she caught the pokemon, both her and totodile froze; shocked that they caught their first pokemon. "Hheeeeeelllllllll yeah!" Barbie jumped up in the air with a giant fist pump and totodile joined in the celebration. The two danced together around the pokeball on the ground and finally ended the celebration with a high five.

Barbie picked up the pokeball and attached it to her belt. "You are awesome Dieter." Barbie said a little bit more loudly than she had intended. She was still a little excited from the battle. When she got out the thickness of the tall grass and came to a tree, Barbie rested against, inviting totodile to join her. Barbie also used this opportunity to let sentret out and get some rest too. It was early afternoon and they had time for a nap. Lazily clicking the center of the pokeball, sentret came out the pokeball, looking a little beat and tired.

When the two pokemon saw each other, they growled slightly. They were enemies just a few moments before, and now partners. Curious, totodile approached sentret and bit it's tail, but not hard, a playful nibble. Sentret responded by tackling totodile, and that started their friendship. After a few more minutes of roughhousing, Barbie reached over and pulled the pokemon apart, cradling them in her large arms. Totodile was trying to escape, but sentret just stayed and allowed itself to be rocked to sleep.

After some painful bites and squirming, totodile calmed down. He was a little tired from his fight, and decided a small nap wouldn't hurt.
