Sephia walked down a street, looking for a Pok�markt. She recognised that many people were staring at her. Feeling uncomfortable, she looked down and found the reason. Her clothes were dirty and burned from the Electrodes, her trouser had a few rips. "I have to look for some new clothes, too", Sephia mumbled and started walking faster.
Finally, she found what she was looking for. She stepped in the Pok�markt, it was nearly empty. The seller gave her an angry look. "Beggars are not allowed here!", he said. Sephia gasped. "Oh, thank you very much. So I'll find another market where they wanna have my money." She took out the banknote and waved them around. One second later, the seller looked very friendly now. "Oh, I'm sorry! I'm sorry! May I help you?" "I need Pok�balls." "Please look there!" He pointed to a set of shelves, Sephia nodded and went there. They had Pok�balls and Ultra Balls, but even the Pok�balls cost 200 Pok�dollars. "I just can buy four of them!", she sighed. "But I need six!" Suddenly, the seller was behind her. "You need six? No Problem! We have a special offer for new trainers this week, six Pok�balls for 750 Pok�dollar. Are you a new trainer?" "Yes, I am!", Sephia said happily. The seller nodded and handed her a box with six Pok�balls. Sephia gave him the money. "Thank you!", she said and went to the door. "Please come again!", the seller answered before the door closed behind the girl.
Sephia started walking back to her friends when she stopped next to a shop again. She smiled, went in and after spending her last money, she ran up the hill. The Pok�mon were waiting there.
"I'm back!", Sephia shouted and everyone walked to her. She showed them the Pok�balls. "We are lucky, they had have a special offer, otherwise it would have been ways to expensive." "Damn the humans, they are making money with capturing Pok�mon", Mewtwo muttered. Sephia smiled. "Maybe you're right. But now, the balls are helping you to get home faster." Everyone giggled when Mewtwo found out that Sephia was right and looked down. Then, Sephia remembered something and reached into her bag. "Mew, look what I bought from my last money!" She took out a new package of cookies. Faster than Sephia could ever imagine, Mew was nuzzling and hugging her like crazy and everyone laughed, even Mewtwo. Sephia opened the package and handed Mew a cookie. "They are with chocolate now. Try it!" Mew ate a little piece and smiled, swallowing the rest in one turn. 'Even better!', the little Pok�mon shouted. Sephia nodded and put the package back into her bag.
"Now let's go. Ok, I'll try to catch you now and after that, I'll let you out again, just for a little test." The six Pok�mon nodded and Sephia took out the first ball. "Hmm, but how?" She looked at it. "Maybe I must push the button." "Here is a manual!", Suicune said and took a paper out of the box. Sephia grabbed it. "It says: For catching Pok�mon, you must use the Pok�balls in their bigger status. For that, press your fingers into the small dents at the sides." She looked at the ball in her hand. "Ah, here they are. Carefully, she followed the instructions and the ball grew bigger. "Whoa! Ok, what now? Hmm...'for catching, just throw the ball at the Pok�mon, it'll open automatically when it hits something.' Ok, who wants first?" She looked around.
"Try with me!", Suicune said and stepped forward. Sephia nodded, gulped and threw the ball at her friend. It opened and the water Pok�mon disappeared in a red light. The Pok�ball started shaking for a few times, then Suicune appeared again. She looked around. "That was weird. It was...like you are flying trough a big black room!", she said. 'Does it hurt?', asked Mew. "No, you are just feeling a little dizzy.", Suicune answered. "But I don't think it's ok that I'm here again." Sephia nodded and picked up the ball again.
"The manual says: If the Pok�mon don't want to go into the ball and if it's not weakened, the ball may not hold it. Buy better balls for a higher chance to catch it", read Mewtwo.
'But Suicune wanted to go into the ball!', Articuno said confused. 'Maybe she's too strong', Zapdos answered.
"We don't have the money for more balls", Sephia said. "Let's try again. Try to relax more!" Suicune nodded and Sephia threw the ball again. Suicune disappeared, but after a few seconds, the ball stopped shaking and the button at it turned white. Everyone waited, but nothing happened. "I...guess she's caught.", Sephia said and picked up the ball carefully.
'How can Suicune stay in the ball, it's smaller than her?', Mew asked. "Human technology", Mewtwo answered with a cold voice. "Mewtwo, how can we get her out again?", Sephia asked. Mewtwo looked at the manual again. "It says: To get a caught Pok�mon out, use the bigger status. Push the button and threw the ball at the ground. Then, the Pok�mon will come out." "Ok, let's try!", Sephia shouted and did as Mewtwo said. The ball hit the ground and Suicune came out. The ball rebounded to Sephia who caught it.
"That was nice!", said Suicune. "It wasn't tight or anything, it was like you are lying in a warm bed." "Really?", Mewtwo asked doubtfully and Suicune nodded. "But now I'm out again, do you have to throw the ball again now? It hurts if you get a ball on the head every few minutes."
"If you have already caught a Pok�mon, you can call it back into its Pok�ball when you hold the ball so that the button points at the Pok�mon. Then, push the dent on top of the ball and it'll return into it.", Mewtwo read.
'A ball doesn't have a top!', Articuno said and the others nodded. Sephia looked at the ball. "Here is a dent!", she said. "It's in the middle of the red part. Are you ready, Suicune?" "Yes, try it!" Sephia followed the instructions again and a red beam of light covered Suicune, she disappeared again.
"I think I understand it now", Sephia said, looking at the Pok�ball. "Something more is written here: To get the ball back to its shrunken status, just push the dents at the sides again.", Mewtwo said and Sephia tried. Now the ball was small again. "I hope Suicune is alright", she mumbled. "It's really small now." She pushed the dents again and the ball grew bigger. Then she let out Suicune again. "Are you ok?", the girl asked concerned. "Of course I am! Is something wrong?" "I shrunk the ball. Nothing changed in there?" "No, everything was fine. A great invention!", the water Pok�mon said. "But now let's go!" Sephia nodded. "Ok. I'll let you out when I passed the city." She called Suicune back into the ball.
'Now catch me!', the ice bird said and Sephia took out another ball. "Just relax!", she said and threw the ball. Everything worked fine this time and Articuno remained in the ball. Zapdos and Moltres stepped forward and Sephia used two more balls, catching the two birds.
Grabbing the next ball, she turned around. "Mew, are you ready?", she asked. Mew gulped and nodded. Mewtwo watched everything carefully. Sephia threw the ball and the little Pok�mon was caught a few seconds later. Mewtwo grabbed the ball with his little friend. "If something happens to her, I'll kill you!", he growled. "I know", answered Sephia and took the last ball. Mewtwo handed her Mews ball and looked at her. "Well, do it now and walk through the city fast, I wanna be out soon." The girl used the ball and when the button turned white, she was alone now. She shrunk all the balls and put them into her bag.
"Ok, guess I should hurry a little bit", she said to herself.
"Yeah, so stop talking!", a voice in her head said. Sephia gasped. "Mewtwo?", she asked a little frightened. "I talk to you with telepathy, try to answer in thoughts", the Pok�mon said. Sephia tried it. "Mewtwo? Can you hear me?", she thought. "Yes. Good. That's better now. Now move!" "Yeah yeah. I'm going!"
Sephia started walking down the hill again, thinking that this was a really weird day.
