After about such and such miles, Jack was about to give up on looking for Pokemon on his way to Saffron. "You would think in a Pokemon world they would be easy to find." Then at that moment, the slightest noise of flapping of wings could be heard. Jack stops in his tracks and listens. It was coming from his right. Slowly, he makes his way over tree roots, through bushes and around large rocks. He peers over a red-berried bush to see a few birds, pecking at the ground for food. They were Pidgey.
"Pidgey, a great capture for the beggining trainer. This is my chance." He was approximately twenty feet from the Pidgey so he slowly walks out of the bushes, only gaining one of the Pidgey's attention. Jack moves his index finger over his mouth. "Shhhhh....."
Pidgey squaks and all three Pidgey look up and over at the trainer. Quickly, they all extend their wings and take flight. In this instint, Jack grabs his Pokeball and lets it fly and hit the ground. Vulpix happily comes out, all rested up.
"Vulpix, stop them from getting away with Flamethrower." Vulpix catches sight of the Pidgey and fires a shot. The three birds seperate and dodge the fire. One of the Pidgey's look back and gives out a loud chirp noise. The Pidgey looks ahead again to see where it is flying. *Rustle* *Rustle* Pidgey accidentally flew into the head of a tree. The other two Pidgey disappear.
Jack and Vulpix run over to the tree that Pidgey flew into. Pidgey surprizingly jumped down onto the ground a little beat-up.
"Ok, another Flamethrower." Vulpix opens up and fires again, missing Pidgey by a couple inches. Pidgey flies up and flaps its wings causing dust and sand to fly everywhere. Jack takes his pack off and covers Vulpix from the sand. The dust clears. Now Jack was covered in sand and Vulpix was not so dirty. He gets up and looks about. To his surprize, Pidgey was over on a branch in another tree.
"Pidgey pidgey pidgey...." it says in a laughing way.
Vulpix jumps forward and growls back. Jack takes command. "Ok, use Confuse Ray to keep it from covering us in more dirt." Vulpix's eyes glow as a purplish ray hits Pidgey. Pidgey slips in confusion and falls off the branch and onto the ground. "Ok, now for the Quick Attack." Vulpix already rushing, smacks Pidgey. Vulpix returns to Jack's side, knowing that Pidgey is to weak to battle.
"Here we go. The first step to making my goal a reality." Jack releases the Pokeball from his hand and watches as Pidgey gets sucked into it. Jack watches in awe as it wiggles around...
~Graded: Pidgey not caught
