He helped me gather my clothes and went down to let my mom know I was going downstairs in a bit.\n\n\u0026nbsp;Putting on my track pants and favourite shirt, I go downstairs and say hi to my mom. My mom had already put out breakfast and was looking a bit downcast. \"I will be back to visit every now and then, and I will bring you back gifts from every town and city I go to\" I tell her.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\"I know you will, and I hope you do great on the gym challenge as well.\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;I quickly finished my breakfast and was heading out the door until my mom suddenly called out my name and told me something important. \"Oh yeah, a friend of mine called and said that one of your old friends will be joining you on your journey when you reach Oreburgh City.\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\"Really? Do you know who it is?\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\"Yes, her name is Martha. You should remember her, you two always played with each other.\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\"I don't remember her at all, but I guess having a friend travel with you is always better than going alone.\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;Heading out the door, I grab my black and blue vest and cap with a pokeball symbol. I never like to put my Chimchar in a pokeball, because he was the first pokemon I got and he always loved to play out of his ball.\n\n\u0026nbsp;I've had Chimchar for about 3 years now, whenever I put him into the pokeball, he would let himself out, so after a while I decided to keep him out for good. Now walking along route 201, my Chimchar is happily running in front of me, having a ball of a time.\n\n\u0026nbsp;Then out of nowhere, he ran into a wild Starly. \"Whoa. So that's what a Starly looks like.\" I whip out my pokedex and see what it says.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\"Starly, the Starling pokemon, Starly flock in great numbers. They may be small, but they can flap their wings with great power.\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\"Alright Chimchar, we have to catch this Starly. After these three years, you know I love flying pokemon as well as fire, and I know you two will be great friends, so let's do this.\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\"Char!\" Chimchar said, with determination on his face. \"Alright Chimchar, scratch.\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;It's a good thing I got a fast pokemon to start my journey, because Chimchar started off the attack first. Chimchar used his claws and scratched the Starly. \"Watch out Chimchar, it's coming around with a tackle attack.\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\"Char!\" Chimchar nodded and moved out of the way at just the right time. \"Alright, now Chimchar, ember attack, finish it off!\" Chimchar spewed out a few small fire balls and knocked out the Starly.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\"Now, go! Pokeball!\" I yell as I throw the red object. Starly became engulfed in the red glow of the ball's energy. The ball started to shake, and after a few seconds, it stopped and I knew that I had caught the Starly.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\"Alright! I caught a Starly!\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\"Chimchar chim!\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\"C'mon out Starly!\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;The Starling pokemon came back out of its pokeball in the same red glow that put it in there.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\"Meet your new friend Chimchar.\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\"Chimchar chim.\" said Chimchar happily.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\"Starly?\" said Starly.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\"Chimchar, chim, Chimchar.\" Chimchar explained to Starly\n\n\u0026nbsp;\"Hey Starly, welcome to our growing family.\" I told Starly.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\"Starly starly!\" Starly said happily. Starly flew onto my shoulder and Chimchar kept walking by my feet.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\"Alright, let's head to Jubilife City!\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;Walking through the forest, I come to realise why they make paths. Walking along with me is just Chimchar now because Starly couldn't fly through the thick brush of the forest.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\"I'm sorry I got you tangled in this mess Chimchar, I thought the forest would be a great shortcut to Jublife City.\" I tell Chimchar.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\"Chimchar chim.\" Chimchar responds reassuringly.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\"Hey wait, listen. Do you hear running water Chimchar?\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\"Chim?\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\"Let's go over this way!\" I tell to Chimchar, starting to run towards the sound of water.\n\n\u0026nbsp;Pretty soon, we hit a river and followed it downstream. As soon as we got to a lake, both Chimchar and I noticed a pokemon gliding over the water's surface. \"Hey Chimchar, do you know who that pokemon is?\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\"Chimchar?\" said Chimchar puzzled.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\"O.k., let's see here.\" I say, whipping out my Pokedex.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\"Mesprit, the Emotion pokemon. Mesprit sleeps at the bottom of Lake Verity. It taught humans nobility, sorrow, pain and joy.\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\"Hey, I heard about that pokemon, it must be one of the legendary Lake Trio pokemon of Sinnoh. But, what is it doing out here? I thought it was asleep at the lake.\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\"Chimchar!\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\"Well Chimchar, we should be on our way if we want to reach Oreburgh in time to meet with our friend!\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;Walking along the water's edge, me and Chimchar start to head back into the forest. Just as we see the last of the lake, we hear a rustling just ahead of us. Quietly, we sneak up and see a Noctowl.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\"Hey Chimchar, you think you're up to trying to catch it?\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\"Chimchar.\" the little Chimp pokemon nodded in determination.\n\n\u0026nbsp;We got a little bit closer to it and then \"Ember!\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;Chimchar spat out a few embers from his mouth and hit the Noctowl perfectly. The Owl pokemon took flight. \"Oh no you don't, Chimchar Fury Swipes!\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;Chimchar started to scratch Noctowl furiously.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\"Alright, now go, pokeball!\" The red beam comes out and covers Noctowl and sucks it into the ball. A few shakes later and the ball stops shaking and the Noctowl stays in the pokeball\n\n\u0026nbsp;\"Alright! I caught myself a Noctowl\" I yell triumphantly.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\"Chimchar chim!\" yells Chimchar as well.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\"O.k., c'mon out Noctowl. Meet your ever growing family.\" I say while throwing the pokeball into the air.\n\n\u0026nbsp;Noctowl comes out of the ball in the red energy that captured it. Noctowl appeared more off to the side then I thought it would.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\"Noctowl, this is Chimchar.\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\"Noctowl.\" Noctowl said as if it was bored.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\"Hey, whats your problem Noctowl?\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\"Chimchar!\" Chimchar tried to explain to Noctowl.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\"Its o.k. Chimchar, he'll come to his senses soon. He just needs some time ya know,\" I explained to Chimchar.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\"Alright, return Noctowl.\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;Noctowl was engulfed in the energy of the pokeball and returned to it. \"Alright, let's try to head back to a path and head towards Jubilife city.\" I told Chimchar while heading deeper into the forest.\n\n\"Hey Chimchar, look! It's Jubilife City!\" I yell as I start running towards the big city.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\"Char!\" Chimchar yelled enthusiastically.\n\n\u0026nbsp;I slowed to a walk once I reached the outer edges of the city, Chimchar did the same while looking around at all the tall buildings.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\"Hey Chimchar, let's check our map and see where we should head to in Jubilife.\" I said, starting to rummage through my bag.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\"Uh-oh. I don't think I brought a map with me.\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\"Chimchar chim.\" said Chimchar a bit disappointed.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\"Well, I guess we should just walk around and look for great spots.\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;Walking around the city blocks, I notice that a few of the billboards advertising a thing called the Poketch. \"Hey Chimchar, you think I should get a Poketch? Hopefully i can remember some stuff to get with that Poketch.\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\"Chimchar.\" Chimchar agreed.\n\n\u0026nbsp;After a couple hours of walking around the big city, I decide to take a break for a drink. I notice a Poochyena walking through the tables of the restaurant.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\"Hey Chimchar, look at that, it's a Poochyena!\" I say, whipping out my pokedex.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\"Poochyena, the Bite pokemon. Poochyena will bite anything that moves. It will chase after its prey until it is exhausted, but if the prey strikes back, Poochyena will turn tail.\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\"Yena! Where are you?\" yelled out a female voice. The voice came closer while the Poochyena headed towards me.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\"H-h-hey, what are you doing?\" I asked anxiously.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\"Yena! Oh, there you are!\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\"Is this your Poochyena?\" I asked the girl.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\"Yes, this is my Yena. Oh hey, you have a Chimchar, then you must be Jonathon!\" she said excitedly.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\"H-how do you know my name?\" I asked her.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\"Because, I'm your new travelling partner!\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\"W-wait, you're Martha? But I'm supposed to meet you in Oreburgh!\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\"Thanks for the warm welcome. And yes, we were supposed to meet in Oreburgh, but, by chance, we found each other in Jubilife.\" She explained to me.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\"Oh, I see. So, are you doing the gym challenge as well?\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\"Well, yes actually. I decided I wanted to take the gym challenge because all my family took it and got to the elite four, but they all lost at the four. So I want to take it further and get to the champion, for my family!\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\"Oh really?\" I said slyly. \"That's gonna be hard because I'm gonna defeat the champion. So you're going to have to face me!\"\n\n  \n  \n\n"}
