Falling for a Pokemon

Chapter 2

"Guys, we haven't trained together in a while," I noted once Pikachu and Chespin had gone home because their owner called them. "Do you want to train now?"

"Ki," Froakie agreed and stood up to leave the table as Wigglytuff began to clear the dishes. Meowstic followed Froakie to the garden. I wanted to ask Wigglytuff if she would like to train with us but I didn't ask her because I knew she would say no. She never trains, she prefers to cook and do other house work. I would like it if she took a break but she never listens when I suggest it. She is a very stubborn Wigglytuff, I don't know where she gets it from. I've never heard of another Wigglytuff like mine. She is one of a kind and is quite old now, she shouldn't be doing so much.

"Wigglytuff?" I said with a shake of my head as I watched her come back from the kitchen for the 5th time in the last few minutes. She insisted on clearing the table by herself. It would have been done quicker if she'd have accepted help but as always, she was being a stubborn Wigglytuff.

"Tuff," Wigglytuff replied as she was about to grab a final plate from the dining table.

"Can you sit down for a minute please?"

"Wigglytuff," Wigglytuff agreed and took a seat beside me.

"Wigglytuff, I am really worried about you. You are always working. Can you please take breaks?"

"Wigglywigglytuffwiggly tuff wiggly tufftuff tuff wiggly wiggly wiggly wigglytuff wigglywigglywiggly tuff tufftufftuff wigglytuff," Wigglytuff ranted angrily in reply. She looks so adorable, it's hard to take her seriously. I feel like laughing but if I do that she will be more angry. As cute as she looks right now, being in Wigglytuff's bad books isn't a good feeling.

"I understand you like doing the housework and I'm not going to stop you but you need to have some days off. You can't work long hours every day. You are a Pokemon, Pokemon are small and get tired quickly. I know you get tired Wigglytuff but you try to hide it. I know Wigglytuff so you don't need to pretend anymore. If you are tired then stop ok?"

"Tuff," Wigglytuff sighed in defeat.

"And if you don't want to do anything some days then don't ok? It isn't your responsibility to do everything. You are a Pokemon and shouldn't be doing anything but relaxing like Froakie and Meowstic. I understand if you like working but if you continue as you are then I will have to ban you from doing a thing ok?"

"Wigglytuff," Wigglytuff nodded her head in understanding.

"Good. You can go now,"

Wigglytuff began to walk away but then she made her way back to me and gave me a hug. Wigglytuff is such a kind soul, she is never angry at anyone for long. She's always been so kind to everyone.

Flashback

"Luke?" Mum called me. I was playing in the garden with my ball.

"What?" I replied.

"Come inside, there's someone I want you to meet,"

I was reluctant to go inside and meet whoever Mum wanted me to meet. I didn't like meeting new people and would rather have continued playing in the garden but I went inside anyway.

"Luke meet Wigglytuff," Mum introduced with pride while looking at the tiny pink and fluffy baby Pokemon in her arms. I didn't particularly like the colour of the Pokemon, it was pink and I hate pink but the Pokemon was really cute. I reached my arms up for it. Mum was about to place the Wigglytuff into my arms but she didn't get the chance. The Wigglytuff smiled when it saw me and jumped into my arms for a hug, the shock nearly caused me to fall to the ground and it didn't help that Wigglytuff was quite heavy to me but I didn't care. It was the beginning of a new friendship.

I now had a friend to play in the garden with which was better than playing alone as I had no siblings. Wigglytuff filled that void. However, it wasn't to last.

Only a few years later, Wigglytuff changed. She became very distant and moody for no reason. It didn't last very long but I hated it because Wigglytuff stopped being friendly and had no time for me. I had no idea what she was up to in her room. When I went to check on her, she wouldn't let me in and just shouted at me. I took the hint to leave her alone.

After her mean phase was over, things began to get better. Wigglytuff was back to her old self and we were friends again.

When I got older, Wigglytuff began to show an interest in looking after everyone and doing all the chores. Once she started, there was no stopping her but she was the perfect Pokemon and I hoped to have one as nice as her when I was old enough to catch one.

Meowstic was my first Pokemon. I always wanted a pet but my parents never allowed me to have one so when I found a Meowstic at a trip to the park, I was ecstatic because Meowstic looked very similar to a pet cat.

The Meowstic I found was by an apple tree trying to reach up to get an apple but it was too short to reach it. He tried climbing up and using it's abilities but had no luck. Having never caught a Pokemon before, I thought it would be a good idea to try and catch the Meowstic while it was distracted. I clutched the poke ball in my hand and without thinking, threw it towards the Meowstic. Once the poke ball touched the Meowstic, a light flashed and the Meowstic was captured into the poke ball. I smiled, I had caught my first Pokemon but I was sadly mistaken a few seconds later when the poke ball began to shake and then out came the Meowstic.

I gulped, I knew what was coming next. The Meowstic was going to attack me in a rage but surprisingly, the Meowstic didn't. He just walked back to the tree and continued with his attempts at getting an apple as an idea hit my head. I thought maybe if I got an apple for the Meowstic then he would let me catch him.

Without another thought, I walked up to the tree and once I was close enough, I put my arms around the tree trunk to hoist myself up to begin the climb up the tree. I made my way onto the first branch I reached before standing up carefully.

When I had found my balance, I reached up for an apple and pulled it off the tree before climbing down the tree. Meowstic looked at the apple in my hand with longing. He must have been starving. I handed the apple over to him and his eyes went wide in surprise. That didn't stop him from taking the apple from my hand and giving it a large bite.

Before Meowstic could take another bite, I threw my poke ball at him and a light flashed before he was captured. This time he stayed inside and I had finally caught him. My first Pokemon.
