Zach and The Z-Force

Not many things could be seen, but in a patch of grass, there seemed to be a strsngely colored pokeball with a lock in it.

It caught Zach's eye, and he went over to examine it.

Zach: What's that?

Ferdinand: Pip, lup?

The strange pokeball seemed cracked a bit. Some cartridge inside.

Zach: It couldn't be a Pokeball...they don't have...these things...

He took out the cartridge to see what it was.

The cartridge had a band across it. It looked like a restoration item, but the label was faded.

Zach put the item in his Pocket.

Zach: Hmm...I wonder who left this here? Oh well, at least it's not as suspicious as Haji's stuffed toy.

He continued down the route to Oreburgh.

The trainer would run into another trainer. 'Batlle me!'

Zach was so startled bby the random trainer that he jolted.

Zach: Whoa! Who the hell are you?!

The trainer gave Zach a smile. 'Battle me!'

Zach smiled.

Zach: You asked for this!

He let Bien the Starly out.

Bien: Starleeee!!

The trainer looked at the starly. 'Go starly,' he said, sending out a pokemon exavtly the same level as Zach's. 'Let's battle!'

Five Hits Lef

Zach: Bien, use Quick Attack!

Bien went in for a Quick Attack.

'Counter,' the trainer ordered, the oppone t starly rushing at Bien taking the hit but swiping for a quick attsck of its own.

Four Hits Lef

Bien got hit, then countered with a tacke attack.

Three Hits Left

The starly spiraled. 'Quick attack,' the trainer ordered. The starly seemed a bit reluctant looking at Zach. It semed scared. 'Quick attack!'

Zach: Dodge!

Bien dodged the Starly's attack.

Zach: Quick Attack!

Bien did a quick-attack.

The starly dodged, looking at Zach again. It seemed saddened for some reason. 'Tackle!'

Three hits left

It just barely hit Bien.

Zach: Quick Attack!

Bien launched himself at the Starly.

Two Hits

The starly took the hit flying back into its trainer's arms. It squirmed. 'Pathetic,' he said to his pokemon. 'You'll be punished later. Tackle!' The pokemon got up running from the trainer t the pokemon.

Zach *Under his breath*: Man, what a douche.

Bien got hit with the Tackle. Not very Effective.

Zach: Quick Attack!

Bien went straight into the Starly, attacking with Quick Attack.

One hit

Starly looked at Zach, running to him from the other trainer. 'What're you doing,' the trainer yelled angrily. 'Get back here!'

Bien was ready for another attack command from Zach.

Zach: Hold the phone, Bien.

Bien: Starly?

Zach: Why's that other Starly...trying to get away from it's trainer?

The trainer looked pretty angry. 'Starly, get over here now!' The starly chirped, its chirp sounding a bit distorted from the trsiner's abuse.

Zach: *Sarcastically* Well, YOU sure are a help to him...

The starly looked at Zach. The trainer was furious. 'Dont you say another word! I captured that pokemon! I treat it as I see fit to trsin it!' The trainer walked over grabbing his pokemon by the wing and lifting it. The pokemon screeched flapping the other vigorously in pain.
