Hail Kinak,
I venture out to the grassy fields once again. I leave Kelly back in the town. She had to work at the resturant today, so I am alone this time. This is the first I've used my Pidgey in a battle, even though I've owned her for months now. The two of us have gotten close, and she obeys me readily. I think I'll dub her 'Kaze', after the Japanese God of Wind.
Pidgey is perched on my shoulder, scoping the surroundings for a fight. While her size is small, her courage and hunger for battle are great. As her piercing eyes scavenged the land, a figure was spotted in the distance. It was not large, but it was visable to her. Beating her wings, she lifted from my shoulder and sought the opponent.
I dashed after my bird. Even in a run, I could not match her air speed as she dove to the Pokemon. She extended hers wings, putting her to a hault, and blew forceful gails down at the enemy, who was hidden among the overgrown wilderness. The unknown Pokemon lost its footing and was hurled skyward in the vortex. Faintly, I made out a queer blue bulb shape that bore two legs and a sprout of leaves exiting on top. It was tossed about violently until Pidgey's wings tired. It dropped to the ground hard. The weed Pokemon regained its footing, and began to attack.
Pidgey sat on the ground now, letting her tired out wings to rest while the Oddisn advanced. Its leaves twirled in the gentle breeze carrying it pollen to and fro. Pidgey was caught in one of these carrier drafts, and her muscles stiffened. I could see that the pollen was highly allergenic. Painfully moving her wings despite the soreness, she fired another wind to send the drifting pollen back to its orgin. Seemingly unaffected by its own spores, its advance continued to my grounded Pidgey.
Pidgey burst forward to the weed, striking head on. The blow knocked it down, but none the less barely seemed to phase it. The Oddish rooted its feet into the ground and closed its eyes. Meanwhile, Pidgey was soaring above it, thinking of evading its attack, but the weed did not seem to be doing anything but sleep. That was only what it seemed to the doing, though. It had rooted itself nicely into the earth and streched forth its roots, which extensions of have broke out of the surface of the ground. The roots flailed wildly and grabbed my shocked Pidgey. Little by little, they started sucking the energy out of her.
I could see its effect on her. Slowly, she descended. Taking her beak, she snapped the thinly stretched roots and shook off what remained on her. Taking no time to recover, more and larger roots arose and seeked out Pidgey. Retreating from their approach, she glided away from them.
She kept this up for a while. In a circular motion centered on the Oddish, the roots chased her, and see kept on flying ahead of them. Just as the roots went to latch on to her, she executed a sharp turn. The traveled circle soon grew smaller, tighening up. Her turns soon became one continuous motion that she kept up steadily. Now, the roots broke upon touching her, being cut away by the force of her high speed traveling body. She started increasing her speed as the roots failed in gripping her.
I soon understood that Pidgey had generated a small wind storm. Going faster every second, she dropped down to focus the force on the Oddish that had planted itself. The vortex ripped the rooted plant from the ground and tossed it about. Its was smashed into the earth, near by objects, and my Pidgey, on swings by it when possible. The battered weed was already nocious from the fast paced whirling, and the extreme altitude that was gathered was not helping it. Without warning, I saw the windstorm break. Scarcely, I could make out two speks in the sky.
The Oddish was supported by nothing. It literally drifted in mid air for a few seconds. Completely disoriented, the weed had no idea to what was going on. It should have concitered itself lucky. Before it could begin to free fall, Pidgey had dived from above onto it. She sank her talons in deep. The two sped to the earth, Pidgey holding the Oddish downwards, ready to give it the full impact of the fall. I turned around to get a Pokeball from my sack.
When I found it, I also heard a loud 'thud' noise. Pidgey returned to her perch on my shoulder. I walked to the new hole in the ground that contained the defeated Oddish, and readied the Pokeball...
