Ash sends out Pidove to track the Snivy down, just as she comes across Team Rocket.

Chapter 7

Snivy Plays Hard to Catch!

Once the hot afternoon sun hits me and my two traveling partners—Iris and Cilan—I feel a rumble in my stomach. I remember I haven't eaten any food since last night, and skipped breakfast this morning because I was so happy about moving onto the next Gym with Cilan and Iris.

I put my hand on my stomach and feel it quiver with hunger. 'Man, I need food, and quick.'

'Pika.' Even my buddy understands. I bet he's hungry, too.

Iris turns to me. 'So, why don't we stop here for lunch?'

'Yeah!' I say. 'Good idea.'

'Okay.' She smiles. 'Wait here. I'll get things ready.' She jumps onto a ledge and disappears into the woods, leaving me and Cilan alone.

After a while, with Cilan and I sit at a stump, which will serve as a table. He sits across from me, his eyes burning into mine.

I swallow a hard lump in my throat and turn away, pretending to look at Pikachu. I don't know why, but I feel there's going to be some problems with Cilan traveling with me.

'Alright, guys!' Iris calls as she comes over with a basket. 'We're all set! Fresh as fresh can be! Dig in!' She places the basket down, revealing it's full with berries.

I smile. 'Check it out! Wow, does that look good!'

'Eat all you want,' Iris says.

'Even though it is just a bunch of fruit...' Cilan mutters to himself.

Iris and I each grab a berry. 'Okay lunch, here we come!'

'Hold on, just a minute!' Cilan says.

I stop. 'Huh?'

Iris and I sit at a table while Cilan stands over some kind of counter, cooking something. I had no idea he could cook! But, I guess it's pretty obvious, since he ran a restaurant with his two brothers.

I feel my stomach growling like a Growlithe. 'Is it ready? I'm starving.'

He comes over with two plates and sets them on the table. 'Sorry for the wait. Here you go.'

I can tell he's still talking, but I pay no attention. My attention is fixed on the food. It looks really good. 'Wow! Smells awesome!' I take one from the plate of muffins. 'Now, for the taste test.' I raise it to my lips and take a bite. My eyes widen. It's like I've just stepped into Flavor Heaven. 'Yummy!'

Pikachu takes one. 'Pika.' He takes a bite. 'Pikachu!'

Iris frown. 'Only a kid would make such a big deal about this.' She takes a muffin. 'Truth is, I usually only eat fresh fruit.' She takes a small bite, and her face changes from doubt to delight.

'And how is it?' Cilan asks her.

'You know, Cilan, you're a master chef,' she compliments.

He smiles. 'I'm so happy you're enjoying it.'

The way they're smiling at each other...it breaks my heart. Iris must have secret feelings for Cilan, and Cilan must have some feelings for Iris. This would suck, if they became a couple, with me as a third wheel. Then I'd never get to know or experience a relationship.

'Wow!' Iris gasps as she eats more of the muffin. 'If I could eat delicious food like this every single day, maybe traveling with you two won't be so bad.'

I force a smile. 'Yeah! She's right, there.' I realize I'm almost done with my muffin, but my stomach's not yet satisfied.

Cilan turns to me. 'Alice, you're more than welcome to have seconds if you're still hungry.'

Oh, what a gentleman...

I put the last piece of muffin in my mouth and get up, Pikachu hopping onto my shoulder. 'Sounds good to me!' I go over to the other table where Cilan was cooking earlier, but don't see any more food. I look around the table, but don't see anything. 'Cilan, excuse me. I...uh...I don't see any seconds here.'

'Pikachu,' my buddy whimpers. I can tell he's still hungry.

Cilan comes over to me and Iris, raising his eyebrow. 'Hm...that doesn't make sense. There was plenty of food over here a second ago. I'm sure of it.'

'That's so weird,' Iris comments. 'Then what in the world could've happened to it?'

Axew sticks his head out of her hair. 'Axew?' Suddenly, a rustling sound in the bushes is heard. 'Huh? There's something moving in the grass over there!'

'Huh?' Sure enough, I see the grass moving.

Soon, I'm crawling on my hands and knees in the tall grass, trying to find the cause of the rustling. Eventually, I find a green snake-like Pokémon. 'Hey, that's a Snivy! It's one of the starter Pokémon in the Unova region.' I take out a Poké Ball. 'Wow. And I'm gonna catch it now! Awesome! Alright, go, Poké Ball!'

I throw it and it taps Snivy's head, sucking it in. The ball closes shut and drops to the ground.

I hear Iris gasp. 'Did you get it?!'

I smirk. 'I sure did!'

Sadly, the Poké Ball bursts open and Snivy escapes, running into the tall grass.

Iris and Cilan run to me. 'If Snivy went into your Poké Ball like that, then it must be a wild Pokémon!'

'Yeah,' Cilan says. 'She's right.'

I smile, putting a hand on my hip. 'Snivy's a Grass-type. I wanna catch that Pokémon for sure! 'Kay, Snivy! I'm coming!' I run after it. 'You're gonna be my Pokémon, no doubt!'

Finally, I see the small Snivy, munching on a berry. 'There you are.' I whisper to Pikachu, who rests on my shoulder. 'Okay Pikachu. Quick Attack, let's go.'

Pikachu nods and jumps off my shoulder. He charges at Snivy with full speed, but Snivy sees this and swiftly dodges Pikachu's attack.

I gasp. 'It dodged!'

'Alice,' Cilan starts. 'Snivy are really smart and speedy Pokémon, not easy to catch.'

Snivy eats the last of the berry and shoots me an amused glance, and a smirk.

'Uh...looks like you're being made fun of,' Iris says.

I glare. 'What?! Pikachu, use Thunderbolt!'

But before Pikachu can shock the Snivy, Snivy turns around, blinks and smiles, hearts erupting from it and surrounding Pikachu. They fly around Pikachu and sink in him. He suddenly smiles, hearts in his eyes as he sways back and forth on his back paws.

I raise my eyebrow. 'Hey, what's up, Pikachu?'

'Pikachu got hit by Snivy's Attract,' Iris answers.

I turn to her, tilting my head. 'Huh?'

'Attract—a move that causes infatuation in Pokémon of the opposite gender,' Cilan explains.

Iris crosses her arms. 'Oh, boy. Alice, you don't even know that?! What a kid!' I give her a glare she won't forget in a hurry. She glares back at me. 'Okay. It worked on Pikachu, so Snivy has to be a girl.'

Suddenly, two vines snake out of Snivy's neck and lunge for Pikachu. They smack him, causing him to cry out in pure pain.

I gasp. 'Pikachu!' I step between him and the vines, turning my back on the vines and wrapping my arms around Pikachu to protect him. The vines lash at my back, and I grit my teeth to keep from crying out. I whimper as I feel something dribble down my back. It must be some blood. I open my closed eyes and look at Pikachu. 'Are you okay, Pikachu?'

'Pikachu!' he cries.

I take him in my arms and turn to see Snivy's disappeared. 'Snivy got away!'

'Pika pika!' Pikachu whimpers.

'Incredible,' Cilan whispers. 'Snivy's moves are really high leveled.'

'I wonder if it abandoned its Trainer!' Iris says.

I turn to them. 'Huh? What does that mean?'

'Cilan said Snivy are intelligent,' Iris explains. 'I heard if they feel they have a really bad Trainer, they'll leave them.'

Cilan nods. 'Yeah. I wouldn't be surprised if this Snivy did just that.'

I smile. 'Well, if that's true, I want Snivy more than ever! There's no doubt I'm gonna catch that Snivy now!'

'Pika!' Pikachu hops down onto the ground.

Iris glares. 'Can't the two of you just calm down?!'

'Iris, this is no time for calming down,' I say. I throw Pidove's Poké Ball. 'Pidove, go and find Snivy!'

While following Pidove, I see it circling in the air, cooing. I smile, knowing Snivy's been found.

'Awesome!' I yell. 'Thanks for finding Snivy! Show us where!' Pidove coos. 'Won't be long now, Snivy.' I turn to my yellow mouse. 'Kay, Pikachu. Let's step on it!' We take the lead and keep running.

I see Snivy on top of a small mountain of rocks. 'Snivy! I wanna battle you again!'

'Pikachu!' My buddy smiles.

Suddenly, in a flash, Oshawott bursts from his Poké Ball. He smiles and seems to 'beg' to battle Snivy.

I raise my eyebrow. 'Hold on. You wanna battle Snivy this time?'

'Oshawott!' he cheers.

I smile. 'Okay! Go for it, Oshawott!' We start to climb the mountain of rocks to get to Snivy. I hear a rumble and look up to see a group of rocks tumbling down towards us. I shriek, grabbing Pikachu and Oshawott and dodging behind a boulder while the rocks tumble past us. Putting Oshawott on my head and Pikachu on my shoulder, I continue to climb up. 'We're not giving up that easily!' I finally climb onto the top, where Snivy awaits for us. Oshawott and Pikachu jump onto the ground and I pant, trying to catch my breath. 'I'm catching you this time! Just watch! Now Oshawott, Water Gun, go!'

Oshawott releases a burst of cold water from his mouth, aiming for Snivy, but she dodges, a small drop of water sprinkling on her nose. She wipes it away, glaring at Oshawott.

'Come on!' Iris suddenly shouts. 'Alice, don't you know a Water-type's a disadvantage against a Grass-type?!'

'Axew yew yew!' Axew yells at me.

I whip around to face her. 'Hey! Not so loud! Of course I know that, Iris!'

I turn away, my attention focused on Snivy, but that doesn't mean I can't hear Cilan's next words. 'Alice sure is an interesting girl. It must be Oshawott's enthusiasm that convinced her.'

He said I'm interesting! I can't believe it!

'Well, if you ask me, I think she isn't thinking things through,' Iris growls.

No one asked you, Iris. But who cares?! Cilan said I'm interesting!

I stare at Snivy and Oshawott, waiting for Snivy to attack. She does, using Vine Whip.

'Oshawott, dodge it! Quick!' I yell. He blocks the vines with his small scalchop. 'Way to go! Now, use Razor Shell!'

Suddenly, Snivy blinks and more hearts surround Oshawott. His eyes are replaced with pink hearts, and he stares lovingly at Snivy.

'Man, not Attract again!' I groan. Snivy uses Vine Whip again, smacking Oshawott with the vines. I gasp. 'Oshawott! No! Oshawott, return!' He returns to his Poké Ball, still love-struck. Snivy smirks and runs away. 'Snivy! Come back here!' I run after her.

'Pika!' Pikachu yells.

Once we're in the forest, I yell up to Pidove. 'Alright, Pidove! Keep following Snivy!'

Tepig Evolutions

'Pidove!' it calls to me.

I see Snivy jump through the trees and turn to Pikachu, a plan forming in my head. 'Alright. Hop on board, Pikachu.' He jumps onto my shoulder, holding on tightly. Jumping, I grab onto one of the vines and swing on it, traveling by vines like I've seen Iris do plenty of times. 'Snivy is all mine!'

I continue swinging on the vines and following Snivy until she comes to a lake and stops. I growl to myself.

'Snivy! Wait up!' Suddenly, the vine I'm holding breaks in half, and I fall down onto a huge lily pad in the lake. Snivy watches me from the other side. 'That was kinda scary.' I turn to my buddy. 'Pikachu, are you okay?'

'Pika,' he says, nodding.

I notice the water around us is starting to come onto the lily pad. 'Huh?' The lily pad's sinking! 'Uh-oh! We're starting to sink! Pikachu, quick! Get on my shoulder!' If I have to sink and die, I want Pikachu to live.

'Pikachu!' He hops onto my shoulder.

In less than two minutes, I'm up to my waist in water. I whimper as the water laps hungrily at my body. I turn to Pikachu. 'It's no good! Pikachu, on top of my head!'

He whimpers. 'Pika?'

I force a smile. 'Just move. It'll be alright.'

'Pikachu...' He climbs up onto my head, whimpering.

Suddenly, a vine is thrown next to me in the water. I turn to see Iris and Cilan, holding the other end. 'Hurry, Alice! Grab onto this!' Iris yells.

I smile, thankful they're here. 'That's great! Thanks a lot, you two!' I grab onto my end of the vine.

'Alice, we're going to pull you out!' Cilan says.

'You hang on tight, Alice!' Iris yells to me. Her and Cilan start pulling on the vine, and I'm pulled a little closer to the land. 'Just a little bit more!' A little bit closer. Soon, I'm pulled out completely.

I pant, trying to catch my breath. That was a close call. 'Thanks for getting us out of there,' I say to Iris and Cilan. I turn to Pikachu. 'Hey Pikachu, are you doing alright?'

He smiles. 'Pikachu.'

I sigh, relieved. 'Yes! That's a relief.' I stand up.

'So Alice, still after Snivy?' Cilan asks me.

I smile and nod. 'You bet! Of course I am!'

Iris glares at me. 'Come on, Alice. Why don't you just give up?! After all, Snivy isn't just going to let you catch it. So, accept the fact that it's not happening.'

'Although your determination is impressive...' Cilan's voice trails off.

I smile. 'Sorry, but there's no way I'm gonna give up! Snivy's as good as mine!'

We find Snivy again, and she stares at me, obviously bored with me. 'Snivy! Gotcha this time! Alright! Tepig, I choose you!' I throw his Poké Ball and he appears, ready to fight.

Iris yells to me. 'Hey, Alice! Make sure Tepig doesn't get all goo-goo-eyed from Snivy's Attract move, like the others did!'

'Axew!' Axew yells at me.

I whip around, annoyed with her comments. 'Please! Don't you think I already know that?!' I turn to Tepig. 'Tepig, here's the deal. You need to attack before Snivy uses Attract!'

'Pika pika!' Pikachu adds.

'Alright! Use Ember!' I yell.

Tepig blows sparks of hot fire at Snivy, but she dodges. She blinks and sends hearts towards Tepig, making him fall in love with her.

I bite my lip. 'Man, this won't work. Tepig, return!'

Snivy smirks, points to Pikachu and motions him to come forward. But Pikachu knows better.

'Pidove!' My bird up above coos at me.

'Huh?' I smile. 'Okay. Great! You wanna try it now?' I turn to a disappointed Pikachu. 'Pikachu, let's let Pidove give it a shot.'

He nods, understanding. 'Pika.'

I turn to Pidove. 'Pidove! Gust, let's go!' Pidove flaps its wings and sends air towards Snivy, but she dodges, blinking and using Attract again. 'Alright, Pidove! Use Quick Attack! Do it!' But it's too late. The hearts surround Pidove as I bite my lip. 'Uh-oh!' But as the hearts sink into Pidove, it seems normal, and not affected. 'Huh?!' This can only mean one thing. 'What do you know? So, Pidove's a girl. Some lucky break!' Snivy uses Vine Whip and lunges for Pidove. 'Pidove! Dodge it!' She does, and Snivy surrounds herself with leaves, and shoots them to Pidove. 'Again!' Pidove dodges them again. 'Alright! Pidove, use Gust, quick!' Pidove flaps her wings, which inflicts damage on Snivy. 'Air Cutter, let's go!' Pidove sends sharp knives of air towards Snivy. 'Use Quick Attack!' Charging with full speed, Pidove slams into a weakened Snivy. 'Okay! Go, Poké Ball!' I throw a Poké Ball, and Snivy's sucked into it. It drops to the ground once it shuts, shaking. Suddenly, it bursts open, Snivy struggling to get up. She smiles. 'One more time, Pidove! Use Quick Attack!' Pidove tries to smack into Snivy again, but Snivy blocks it using Vine Whip. 'Way to go! Pidove, use Air Cutter!' Pidove sends the knives of wind towards Snivy, knocking her onto the ground and making her try to get up. 'This is it!' I yell, throwing a Poké Ball. 'Go, Poké Ball!' It taps her head and sucks her in, closing and falling to the ground. It shakes numerous times, and finally clicks shut, signaling Snivy's mine. I smile. 'Alright! I caught a Snivy!' My Pokémon cheer with me. 'Snivy, come on out!' She does, and looks at me. 'Glad you're on board. Now together, let's you and I win the Unova League!'

Snivy stares at me, and then smiles. '...Snivy.'
