Chapter 5:The Hydro Squirtles

Quinn was very disappointed he lost a member to his team, and it was his very first Pokémon. Gavin suggested getting a water type from Destiny River. The Pokémon known to show up here were Shelder, Inkay, Luvdisc, Magikarp, and in a rare occasion, Squirtle. "Hey Quinn, what Pokémon would you even want? I heard most if that river is still not infected because it apparently has a light that repels the zombies." Quinn replied to Gavin, "I like Squirtle. I remember my dad having a Warortle as a kid, and it would be his best Pokémon. Now I don't know where my dad is... I think a Squirtle would be great to me. I even have a Dive Ball my dad gave to me as a gift." Gavin took that story seriously, and he wasn't gonna give up for Quinn. They reached Destiny River, just as a hoard of Squirtle was coming up stream! One looked different. It had an orange headband on, and it looked as if it was the biggest of all. "Ok Pancham!" Said Gavin,"Go get Quinn a Squirtle!" The leader looked up and jumped out stream, telling the others to keep going. "Squirtle!" Proclaimed Squirtle. It looked mad, tired, and sad, all at the same time. It decided to make the first move, Water Gun! "Pancham dodge and use Power-Up Punch!" Pancham got a direct hit, and raised his attack! Squirtle wasn't done yet. It fired back with an Ice Punch! But how? Perhaps it was trained earlier or maybe it was bred? Either way, it did some damage. "Pancham now! Use headbutt!" It was now Quinn's time to catch it! "Here we go!" Shouted Quinn, "Dive Ball go!" Once. Twice.... "Yeah! I caught a Squirtle!" Quinn couldn't be happier. He decided to nickname his newly caught Pokémon, Roshi. He went to heal it at the nearest towns Pokémon Center. This town being Fox Town. They said that this particular Squirtle was the leader of a Squirtle Gang called the Hydro Squirtles. It learned Ice Punch from an old trainer who owned an Abomasnow. This was truly a strong Pokémon.

"So Gavin, I heard there is a Gym here. Wanna check it out?" "Sure" answered Gavin. They went to the gym and saw the Gym Leader, Josh, standing in front of them with a confident smile, "I see, challengers."
