In the last chapter you got to read how Brad had to stay at Sootopolis because he didn’t had a Pokémon. Brad convinced Alicia and Jason to go ahead, so now Brad is trying to catch Pokémon to go on his journey.

Chapter Four – Hanging around Sootopolis

‘I’m bored, Nurse Joy, can I help?’ I asked, on a sunny afternoon.

‘Sure, can you watch this Mankey for me?’ She asked me.

‘What’s a Mankey?’ I asked confused.

‘That’s a fighting type Pokémon from Kanto.’ She said.

‘Sure, why isn’t it’s trainer here?’ I asked, while looking at the pig monkey.

‘The trainer said he’d be back for it yesterday, but as a fighting Pokémon it needs some movement. Why don’t you take it outside, it could help you catching a Pokémon.’ She said while nursing a Baltoy.

‘Sure.’ I said while taking the Mankey.

The Mankey and I walked outside. Then we saw a little boy being locked in by three Poochyenas.

‘Mankey, Low Kick!’ I yelled, and the Mankey immediately listened. Because fighting types are strong against dark types, Mankey knocked them all out.

‘Pokéball, go!’ I yelled when throwing the Pokéball. The Pokéball shook three times, and then the ball went open. The Poochyena was free again.

‘Fury Swipes Mankey!’ Mankey did this, and the Poochyena wasn’t moving.

‘Pokéball, go!’ I yelled again. It shook three times, but this time, the red button became white.

‘Yes, I caught a Poochyena!’ I yelled excited. Mankey made some dance movements, and Mankey and I ran back to the Pokémon Centre.

‘Nurse Joy, I caught a Poochyena! Please heal him!’ I yelled.

‘Okay, Blissey, please bring to the nursing room. ER isn’t needed here.’ She said while smiling. ‘It’s gonna be fine Brad, you can count on it.’ And she walked further.

I grabbed a comb and started combing Monkey. It seemed like it was enjoying himself. I took the Mankey for a walk to the Pokémart. When we got there I bought Pokémon snacks and a blanket. I gave some food to Mankey, and wrapped the blanket around the egg. I walked back to the Pokémon Centre to pick up Poochyena.

‘Hi Brad. Good news! It appears your Poochyena is healthy again and very fit. I hope this doesn’t mean you’re going on your journey now.’ Nurse Joy told me, when handing me the Pokéball.

‘I probably should go on my way now, see if I can catch up with the rest.’ I told her.

‘Okay, but take this with you.’ She said to me

Nurse Joy handed me a Pokédex and 5 Pokéballs. I walked towards the door, but all of a sudden the door smacked open. I fell on the ground, and dropped the egg. Thank god somebody’s Ralts was able to keep it in the air with it’s psychic powers. I grabbed the egg and saw the person who pushed me.

‘Nurse Joy, please heal my Pokémon, and try not to get scars while doing so!’ The person said.

I took a better look and noticed it was a young girl with black hairs.

‘Immediately, Chansey, take this Pokémon to the ER!’ Nurse Joy said.
