"During my travels so far, I learned that while it is fun being at trainer, it is also kinda dangerous. There are dangerous people, and Pokemon. Not to mention the natural forced of nature." George looks at me astonished. George: "But... pokemon can protect me right?" I slightly nod. "Sometimes... but i'm just saying it isn't as simple as trainers say. So when your older, you might want to be prepared." George pauses before nodding. George: "I will." Gloria smiles. Gloria: "Thank you for the advice, that should ..." She pauses as she struggles to find her words. "Its ok, and your welcome."

After a while, George goes back to his dad and his siblings. I look out of the window and look at the amazing Marsh before me. "So cool!" We then stop and about 3 people with bags walk out of the front of the train. They then start handing some people some mud balls and some weird white food looking spheres. "Huh?" One of the workers than hands me some, before heading over the others. "So i can feed some pokemon? Cool!" But, what is with this mud? Worker on Speakers: "Some advice with the food and the Mud. Use the mud to lure pokemon and calm them down. This will help you capture a pokemon more easily. If a pokemon is acting agressive throw the mud balls, they should then leave. Now i hope you guys have a good time." The doors then open and people walk out. George: "Ethan!" I stand up and turn around to see George run towards me. George: "Can you help me catch a pokemon? Your a skilled trainer right?" Gloria and the rest of the family look at me. "Sure." The family smiles and George leaps into the air with excitement. George: "Alright!"

We walk out of the train and I travel together with George and his family. George: "I wonder what pokemon i will catch!" Gloria: "George quiet. You don't want to scare the pokemon away." George then slaps his mouth closed and nods. His expression gets serious. "So george. What pokemon do you want to catch?" George looks at me and pauses for a moment. George: "The beautiful one from earlier." "Dragonair?" George: "If is the Blue snake then yes." Dragonair it is then.

He then runs forward with his Ultra Ball. Gloria: "Careful with the mud." I run forward and walk beside George. "Let's head over to the river then." I point to a trail which leads to the river. A Nidoran♂️ then walks before us. George: "So cool!" He then squats down and goes to pet his head. "No wait-" I grab his arm before he puts his hand onto the Nidoran's horn. "Don't touch it. It is a poison type. A single scratch could poison you- Well at least that is what it says in the pokedex." No wait, that is for the female Nidoran. George looks at me with his eyes open wide. George: "... Well, thank you for stopping me." I let go of his arm and I start running to the river.

"Here we go!" I throw a peice of the Food into the water as hard as I can and it hits the water with a splash. It bobs up after a good second. So it floats. George: "That was a cool throw!" "Thanks." A pokemon then swims over and starts nibbling at it. "Oh? It is a Seadra." The Seadra finishes the food and swims away. "Ok let's try again." George nods at me. I throw another one into the water and it floats near the other side of the river. Gloria: "You have a strong arm." "Thank you? I may have a strong arm but my aim is usually off." A Nidoqueen then walks over from the other side of the river and picks up the pokemon food. At the same time a Tentacool reaches out of the water and grabs the Pokemon Food. "The two are about to fight. Let's find another area."

...

Gloria: "This looks like a good spot." "Ok then- George how about you try this time?" George grabs a pokemon food ball, or whatever thier called, and throws it into the water. After about a few seconds a Dragonair pops up, nibbling on the Food. George and the family gasp in excitement. George: "Time to catch it!" He grabs his Ultra Ball and throws it. The Ultra Ball misses and drifts off. "I'll get it. Ben use Surf." I let Ben out of his pokeball, into the water, and i leap onto him. We surf next to Dragonair and grab his pokeball. The Dragonair then looks at Vee before smiling. Vee jumps onto my shoulder and the two nuzzle eachother.

Is this the same one from before?

I get back and hand George his Ultra Ball. "So i think this the same one from earlier." Dragonair then looks at the Family and smiles. Vee, who is on Dragonair, then tickles Dragonair with her tail. Dragonair splashes water as she tries to get Vee off. "It seems to be really friendly too." George: "Can i catch it now?" He grips his poleball impatiently. "Well. I don't know. Give it a try." George grins and throws his pokeball. Dragonair then hits it back with its tail. The Ultra Ball goes flying back at George. Gloria: "George watch out!"

Before anyone can do anything, Ben jumps out of the water and blocks the Ultra Ball from hitting George's face. "Phew- Thanks Ben." Ben turns to me and nods. George, unfazed, grabs his Ultra ball from the floor. George: "So it doesn't want to get caught?" "Well to be fair, most pokemon don't. But maybe try using food first." George grabs a Pokemon food and holds it up to Dragonair. Dragonair hesitates before it starts to eat. George: "*Gasp* We friends now?" I'm not sure that is what I meant... but sure. Dragonair slithers onto the land and sniffs at my bag. "Oh. You must want some more." I open my bag and give it some more of the food. The Dad: "It must be hungry." I turn shocked.

So he speaks.

"Seems like it." I then hear a rustling from the trees. Everyone turns and a Victreebel comes out looking at the food. "Move back guys." Victreebel then slams into Dragonair and forces its way into its food. George: "Hey! That is Dragonair's food!" George move forward, yelling at Victreebel. Victreebel glares at George and gulps the food down. Dragonair looks at Victreebel shocked and scared.

I sense something bad is about to happen...
