Ch 67 - Caught

David didn’t know what the Caterpie was planning on doing when it reached the treeline, but he’d rather not find out. Not after this kind of luck just fell into his lap.

“Pidgey! Cannon...

Ch 66 - Fate

David watched wearily as Pidgey prowled around the little alcove. Once again she had decided to inspect the potential campsite before they could settle in for the night.

The first time she'd ...

Ch 65 - Hatch

For a while, all was good.

Her time was spent with the flock, playing, fighting and learning from parent, Nest-who-Teaches. The days were broken up by the visits from colourful-squishy-respec...

Ch 64 - Acorn

“Are you sure you have everything?”

“Yes. Yes for the last time Grandad.”

He watched as she took a deep breath and tried to calm herself before she ended up snapping at him. Thi...

Ch 63 - Fuel

Mason snapped to attention as the door opened, ignoring the twinge in his back. Pain was only momentary but respect lasted forever. Only one person was authorised to use that entrance.

Leader...

Ch 62 - Exit stage left

David pulled down the brim of his beige sun hat. He tugged up the red scarf until it covered his nose, leaving only his eyes visible. He’d said his goodbyes. There was no one left in Celadon that...

Ch 61 - Goodbye

David spent the evening packing and planning. He laid out everything he owned. He consulted his notebook. He read through his leaflets.

It rained for the first time in weeks.

Pidgey was...

Ch 60 - Predict

“Ughh.”

David latched onto the nearest shelf to steady himself as he was struck by a wave of vertigo. His head hurt. His mouth was dry. His stomach ached.

It turned out that hangove...

Ch 59 - END?

“3.”

“2.”

“1.”

“Go!”

Pidgey appeared in a burst of light. “Pidgey!”

She wasn't alone.

A mass of undergrowth engulfed the other side of the pi...

Ch 58 - Challenge

“Condor.”

“Pidgey.”

“Pelican.”

“Pidgey.”

“Albatross,” David said absently. He was starting to run out of birds. At this point he doubted that she would p...

Ch 57 - Poker night

“Kite?” David asked, ducking low to get under a branch. He turned to the side as he did, checking on a known spot. The bush of Nomel berries tucked between a tree and a shrub was undisturbed. A...

Ch 56 - Paperwork

“Pidgey!”

“Pid-gey.”

“Pid-gey.”

“Piiiiidgey.”

David gripped the table and tried to remain calm. And his morning had been going so well. Too well. He should h...

Ch 55 - Call out

Everything went back to normal the next day, or, as normal as things could be now.

David went out on a morning patrol through the grove. He spent the entire time on edge but as Oliver said th...

Ch 54 - Attention!

David and Michael nattered on for a while, sticking to the theme of legends and pausing only to discuss aspects of the stories.

David had to do some quick thinking to convert stories from his...

Ch 53 - Dumbo

The medicine worked a treat.

David was a little wary of Y Vapour after picking it up from the Pokemart. Oliver's suggested cure came in a bottle that looked like the child of a vape and an in...

Ch 52 - Upkeep

David didn’t end up going to the Department store that day.

After Sarah and he rejoined the others, the group finished off their matches for the day and retreated behind the metal seating c...

Ch 51 - Results

Sarah found a battle quite quickly.

David didn't. He wanted to think it was the type difference. Most of the trainers he spoke to had Grass-Poison types, leaving them at a disadvantage to Pid...

Ch 50 - Shot

Revealing Pidgey’s new Move to the group was a lot of fun but it didn't go as smoothly as David hoped.

The match against Danny and her Bulbasaur started like any other. Pidgey took to the s...

Ch 49 - Types

David was starting to get used to these morning breakfasts.

Sure they were a little dysfunctional. Oliver tried to speak to him as little as possible and Michael was obsessed with Pidgey. Nav...

Ch 48 - Returns

“..some damage to the top of the fence but Pidgey and I were unable to find anything further.”

Oliver chewed on the information and his breakfast for a minute. Michael flicked his attenti...

Ch 47 - Exploration

Danny and David split up after an hour or so of chatting, each taking a direction.

Neither of them knew where they were heading, but at least they knew that they weren’t the only ones lost....

Ch 46 - The Day Off

David didn’t move when he woke. Instead he covered his eyes and tried to get another fifteen minutes of sleep.

Today was his day off.

Well, not really a day off. He still had his morn...
