Pokemon The time traveler

Ch 68 First Catch!!!

"Y'know when I first left home, it was a little scary. But with you here Fennekin, it isn't so bad!"

Said fire type yipped in agreement while proudly strutting her stuff on the old dirt path. Serena then giggled from her new partner's antics while making sure she keeps an eye on her pink pda.

The honey colored blonde then let out a small shriek once she felt something heavy land on top of her hat. "Oh my God! W-What is it?!"

A shrill cry then pierced the air and both Fennekin and Serena flinched from the unknown sound. The next thing she knew, Serena felt absolute pain as something sharp kept hitting her scalp.

Quickly taking off her hat, the mysterious culprit leaped off towards the ground and revealed itself to be a small brown bird who looked ready for a fight.

Rubbing her sore head, the honey colored blonde glared tearfully at her new adversary. "Geez! Just what is it about bird Pokemon that seemed to hate me?"

Fennekin also mirrored her trainer's expression and began angrily barking while standing protectively in front of Serena with a determined look on her face.

The fire type felt one of her eyes twitch when the tiny bird Pokemon responded kindly with a very rude gesture.

After recovering somewhat from her pain, Serena wasn't amused either and opted for pulling out her Pokedex instead.

"Pidgey, the tiny bird Pokemon. Among all the flying Pokemon, it is usually the most gentlest and easiest to capture. A perfect target for any beginner trainer to test his or her Pokemon's skills. Its signature moves are Gust and Sand attack."

Nodding at the information, Serena then gained a more confident look in her blue eyes. "Alright then! I'm not one to look for a fight but this is perfect for us rookies! Are you with me Fennekin?"

In response, the small fire type yipped in excitement as she settled into a more proper fighting stance.

With a wave of her one hand, the honey colored blonde was eager to make the first move. "Let's do this! Try an Ember attack!"

Said orange fox then unleashed a barrage of small flames from her open mouth. Acting quickly, her opponent immediately took to the skies and countered with a strong gust of wind.

Pidgey then repeated the same rude gesture from the air and Fennekin felt herself getting more ticked off at the tiny bird Pokemon. Another ember attack soon followed and the same sequence happened once more.

Serena then gritted her teeth in frustration as she noticed her starter flinching in pain from the strong winds. 'Not good. That Pidgey has the advantage while in the air. I can't just keep on spamming the same attacks in a row. I've got to think of something or this battle is over!'

The honey colored blonde then winced when her Pokemon failed to dodge another gust attack. Judging from how shaky the fire type's legs are, Fennekin doesn't have much stamina left. A couple more hits and it's over. 'W-What should I do?! I can't think of anything!'

Clenching both her fists in frustration, Serena knew it was wrong to panic in this situation but clearly, her nerves are getting the better of her. 'What should I do?! I can't let Fennekin down! I'm her trainer!'

As the battle went on, Serena then widened her eyes as she thought back towards a certain raven haired youth's accomplishment in the last week. 'That's it! What would Ash do...?!'

The honey colored blonde felt herself smirk as a plan began forming inside her head. "He'd think outside the box! I've got to do the same thing somehow! Fennekin, are you with me? I've got an idea!"
