Synopsis: When Wally, a growing adolescent boy, bumps into an experienced female Trainer in the woods, he discovers he needs more than just help catching his first pokémon.

“WAAAAAAAAAAAA!”
Leaves trembled as a bloodcurdling scream rippled through the woods of Route 102. Seedot scampered into bushes and Taillow fluttered from treetops. Hurried feet carried the frantic boy through blurs of thick trees, his shrub of green hair bobbling past the tips of tall grass. Wally hadn’t stopped sprinting since he spotted her a mile away. Her pink bowl hat stood out against the backdrop of earthy colours. Heart thrashing against his ribcage, he closed in on the lone girl.
“Help!” he cried between desperate huffs. “Somebody! Anybody! It’s gonna eat me!”
“Huh?” She whipped round at the sudden approach of urgent footsteps. “Hey, kid, slow down!” Wally zoomed past the stunned girl and hid behind her like a human shield, his face nestled in the small of her back. “What’s going on?!”
“I’m being chased by a monster!”
“Wha-??”
“That Zigzagoon wants to make me his lunch!” His legs trembled behind her much longer pair.
“What Zigzagoon? There’s nothing here.”
