The Search

A young girl entered a field on Eartha Island, a faint smile on her face. She was dressed in sensible clothing, a light brown shirt with a picture of a dove on it, black shorts, an white tennis shoes. Her shoulder-length dirty blond hair was pushed away from her face by a light brown hairband. She wore no makeup, who did when searching for Pokemon?

Rosa's light hazel eyes scanned the field, searching for movement. This was it, she was going to befriend her started. The girl had lied about being a normal human, she was in fact an air elementalist. However, she had wanted to befriend a starter instead of just being given one. So she had lied and been giving another Pokeball along with the five she already had, the Pokeball that would soon contain her new friend.

Not far off, a small Pokemon could be seen running around happily and enjoying the nice weather. It had orange fur, with a little swirl on top of its head. It had a short, flaming tail on its primate like body. It could easily be recognized as the Sinnoh Region starter Pokemon, Chimchar. It seemed this island had many different types of Pokemon running around. However, this was the first that Rosa's eyes landed on. Could this Pokemon be her long awaited starter to befriend?

Eventually Rosa finally found what she was looking for, a Pokemon. The girl felt as if her heart was about to beat out of her chest when she gaze landed on it, taking in its every detail. The flame on its tail, blazing under the hot noonday sun. The fur that covered it, a ruddy shade of orange-red. The swirl on its head, similar to the kind you might find on a soft-serve ice cream cone.

Taking in a deep breath in an attempt to calm herself the girl took a soft step forward, attempting not to make any noise. The last thing she wanted to do was scare the Pokemon, the Pokemon that might very well be her new companion. After successfully taking the first step and remaining relatively silent her bravery began to grow, she could do this.

Rosa took another cautious step forward, scanning the ground for any twigs before she set her foot down. This process was repeated until she stood about two yards away, six feet. Once she reached this distance the ten year old crouched down so she was kneeling on the ground. However, she failed to search the ground before she sat down and was greeting by a snap, the sound of a twig breaking. This caused a hitch in her breath, panic was beginning to set in.

The Chimchar quickly spun around at the abrupt noise, going from a peaceful and playful mood to on alert. Its eyes were wide as it scanned, quickly landing on Rosa. Its tail began to flicker and simmer, not knowing what this strange creature was. It was sure it knew all the kinds of Pokemon on the island, and this wasn't one of them. It chose for now to remain still, and carefully observe the new creature.
