[center][color=f7941d][h1]Adam Shoji[/h1] [u][h3]Adriana City[/h3][/u][/color][/center] [hr] Adam Shoji walked out of his parents' shop with a sigh. He looked back as he walked away from the decently sized building, bathing in the yellow light the lamps outside gave off. The older brick and mortar garage had been a large part of his life, but that was over- he had finally saved enough money to be able to live on his own, to go out and explore the world. The young man played with the red and white sphere in his hand. It was time to go. He turned to the road, and stepped off the property. Loose pieces of the sidewalk crunched under his boots as the trainer-to-be walked down the sidewalk, wondering where exactly to start his new life. Around the city, there were a handful of really cool Pokemon he had seen- there was a Raichu helping power a rail cart earlier this week, even just today, he had heard of a Wailord surfacing right out of the docks. However, there was no way the newbie trainer was going to be able to catch anything like those. [color=f7941d]"Agh, I have no idea where to start! Its not like I'm completely clueless about Pokemon, but damn, this is hard!"[/color] Adam said aloud, hoping that some kind of miracle force would tell him what to do. He dragged his hand across the side of a building as he wandered past. He felt his hand fall off the corner as something crashed into his foot. Adam stumbled forward on one leg, waving his arms as to not fall, eyes widening. [i]This is it. I'm dead.[/i] The wanderer looked down, eyeing what had crossed his path. A small light blue Pokemon had slammed into him headfirst. Dazed, the creature looked back up with large yellow eyes, electricity sparking from a star-like shape atop it's tail. [color=00aeef]"Shi!"[/color] it called, looking back at the alley it hand ran from. A pair of eyes peered back from the darkness, and a growl could be heard emanating as well. The Pokemon that had slammed into Adam back away from it, eyes looking worried as more electricity sparked. Adam noticed the teeth marks on the back of the Pokemon, as well as its legs shaking- it had to have been hurt already. He sighed as he stepped in front of the small Pokemon. [color=f7941d]"Okay, little guy, I've got you covered,"[/color] he said, locking eyes with the creature in the shadows. A green, doglike Pokemon crawled out of the alley's darkness, teeth growling and static popping from it's back. Knowing electric types, Adam took his jacket off. The aggressive Pokemon jumped at the trainer, teeth snarling. [color=00a651]"Triiiii-"[/color] it howled, cut off by Adam catching it in the jacket, wrapping it around the much smaller Pokemon. He grabbed the corners of the jacket and held them together like a sack. Muffled barks came from inside, as the beast tried to escape. Adam spun the makeshift sack and threw it, the Pokemon hitting the brick wall of the alley and crashing down to the ground. The jacket unfolded, and the Pokemon scurried out as Adam took out his newly-acquired Pokedex out, scanning. [color=f7941d]"Electrike, huh. Electric type. You're a piece of work, y'know that?"[/color] he said, making sure the last part was heard by the green Pokemon, now trembling some, probably disorientated. Adam took an aggressive step forward, startling the Electrike, which turn tail and ran. Adam walked over to the jacket, which was audibly crackling from electric energy. [color=f7941d]"So that leaves the two of us,"[/color] he called out, looking at the blue one. It turned its head in response, looking confused. Adam held the Pokedex's camera at it. [color=f7941d]"Shinx. Also an electric type. Hey, you look hurt little guy. Do you want to come with me?" [/color]he asked, fishing his Pokeball out of the jacket pocket. The Shinx walked up to the young man, letting out a happy sounding mew. Adam hit the button in the center of the sphere, and Shinx was engulfed in a red light, which was dragged back into ball. It shook once, twice, thrice, and clicked. [color=f7941d]"I guess that means we're buds now, huh?"[/color] He hit the button again, and Shinx reappeared, smiling at the trainer, hopping down once or twice before wincing in pain. [color=f7941d]"Okay, uh. Name. Enix. Sure. Let's get you to the Pokemon Center my man, you're beat up."[/color] [hider=Trainer Stats] [b]Rank[/b]: Beginner [b]Organization[/b]: Unaffiliated +1 TP = 1 +1 CP = 1 -1 Pokeball Captured a Shinx!
