Arena Catching

~Raynard

I clutched the glimmering new pokeball in my hand. This is where my new partner will rest for now on.

“(This is it.)” I told myself.

The doors opened and light flashed in, the whole group ran out. This Arena looked just like a Pokémon safari. Tall grass, many trees scattered around, ruin-like structures, and up ahead: woods. This is great, all the people ran in different directions to find their partner.

Tall grass, was my first thought. But I wanted to go farther beyond. Who knows? Maybe the strongest Pokémon linger out in the back.

As farther I progressed I found more ruins, more than when I first entered the arena. There’s practically nobody here though. The ruins had a couple small entrances that you could walk through.

Trying to make an educated guess where the stronger Pokémon will be, I chose the ruin caves.

As I made way though the tight passage that was scraping my skin, I knew that I would be in trouble, I mean, its dark… But I feel pretty good with the kinds of Pokémon I might find, if any… I snatched my mini flashlight that my sister gave me a long time ago, unfortunately the batteries where weak. Still a faint light shined, this will have to do for now.

The passage gradually got wider in width and height; I could easily stretch and not even touch the ceiling. Darkness still lingered. Then a question came up to me, what happens if this flashlight died off? I can’t lose this opportunity though! I excelled forward, like the dumb boy I am in risk of a possible danger however, full of faith.

A couple of minutes I see an eerie purple light looming right of the curved pathway. Geez, this atmosphere had the appearance of a horror movie. Suddenly I hear some murmur and afterwards… A wild Pokémon appears!

“What kind of Pokémon is this…? I’ve never seen this before in Kanto…” I whispered, trying to not get its attention.

The Pokémon was like in the shape of a small candle. The purple light was from the irregular-colored flame burning passionately on its top. The Pokémon appeared to be resting by the side of a rock. It looked pretty adorable.

“(Catch it!)” Was my natural response. But something so small…?

I was skeptical but I realized that every Pokémon had their pros and cons, so it wouldn’t be worth criticizing the size. Anyways it would be a nice experience to watch my Pokémon grow up and evolve. This could make a great first Pokémon! But firstly, I needed to catch it…

Right on time the Pokémon woken up, it’s movements steady. It gained notice of me soon after, this was my time to shine.

I snatched the Pokeball out of my bag; just in a matter of seconds I tossed the ball out in the open at the Pokémon. The Pokémon made a slight whimper as the ball hit it for a capture. The matter of the Pokémon turned red and was sucked into the ball; it fell on the ground, shaking a couple of turns as my eyes where profoundly fixed on that Pokeball. Soon the shaking subsided, I squealed, that’s the sign I have been watching for!

“Yes!” I happily called out.

I caught my first Pokémon!
