Marcus Capture had begun his journey to become a Pokémon master. He and his first Pokémon, Charmander, were traveling through a forest when they came across a wild Wurmple. Marcus used his Pokédex to get information on it.

“Wurmple, the worm Pokémon it lives primarily off of sap from trees. The suction cups on its feet keep it from slipping.” Marcus decided to make it his first capture. He threw his Pokéball.

“Charmander, let’s go!” Charmander emerged in a flash of light and looked at Marcus, unsure what his trainer wanted him to do. “Charmander use growl on Wurmple.” Charmander used growl and Marcus called out the next attack.

“Good, now use scratch.” Charmander scratched Wurmple with its claws and Wurmple was weakened. Marcus was just about to capture it with his Pokéball when another Pokéball came out of the blue and captured Wurmple first. Marcus was surprised.

Two other people, dressed in threadbare clothes, appeared. One was a boy, the other a girl. The girl was holding the Pokéball that captured Wurmple.

“Looks like ah caught mah first Pokémon, brother.” said the girl. The boy smiled. Marcus found his voice then.

“Hey, I battled Wurmple. That was my capture, taking it is rude. ” The boy and girl looked at him.

“It’s not our fault you’re too slow.” said the boy.

“Thanks for your hard work though, hun.” said the girl, winking at Marcus. Marcus frowned.

“Fine, then I challenge you to a battle. The winner gets Wurmple.” The two siblings just smiled.

“Isn’t he cute Billy-Bob?”

“Naïve is more like it Sarah-Sue. Let’s go.”

“Right, Koffing poison gas.” Sarah-Sue threw a Pokéball and Koffing emerged and used poison gas. Marcus covered his nose and mouth.

“Charmander, return.” coughed Marcus, recalling his Pokémon to its ball. When the cloud cleared the two siblings were gone. Marcus sank to the ground and sighed.
