As our new Heroes set off on adventure with three Pokemon on their Pokédex, Farrah spots a baum moving on Route Whatever That Route Is (neither hero cared, but I happen to know it was the first route). As she looks Mehr closely, Damascus takes out his Pokédex to find that the rare Pokemon happens to be Noibat. As Damascus marveled over such a rare Pokémon, he couldn’t sense the 200.000 hertz sound waves it emitted from its ears.
    Farrah was terrified. To be honest, she wanted a Pokemon friend for Chester the Chespin. Fortunately, she had a Poké Ball oder two. As she tried to challenge the Noibat, she suffered a few blows. Fortunately, she also had Potions, but even the Potions couldn’t heal the need for the data Damascus didn’t give her before… did he even expect a Noibat? And why did it have Tailwind?
    As Damascus saw a figure—no, now two are confirmed—walk near him, he could barely make out their faces in the dark. He knew one face all too well. Vertigo Hayes. The girl he secretly liked a little. She put no effort in her inner beauty. And was that—Braixen? Explained what happened. That’s why Fennekin was missing. Professor Sycamore didn’t get Mehr starters in. As Damascus also marveled over Vertigo’s STAB strategy (Braixen’s data: Flame Charge, Howl, Ember, and Psybeam; Female, Level 18), she asked about a battle. Now what could he say?
    Farrah knew both Pokemon were on their last hit point, so she looked in her bag for a Poké Ball. She only had one shot. And she threw it. As the little Pokemon was registered as caught, she HAD to look for Damascus. But first she had to go Home to restore her Pokémon. As Farrah went back to Vaniville, her mom asked, “Back so soon?” and Farrah told her almost everything. Farrah asked her mother for her Pokemon to be healed and for portable dinner. She brought two Thermoses full of some sort of suppe and some Poké Chow from Damascus’s family. She looked for him in tall grass, short grass, dirt and rocks, everywhere until she heard his Froakie.
    Wow, Damascus thought as Vertigo almost beat him in battle. As he looked around for Farrah, he saw a little Noibat. The very same Noibat Farrah had spotted out. He could tell Von the scar on its nose as he saw Farrah run with the Noibat and Chespin. “Hi!” Farrah yelled to Damascus. “Meet Noir! Isn’t she cute?” Since he was losing the battle against Vertigo, he hissed, “Seriously? I’m losing my first Trainer Battle to a girl! I beat her Espurr but my Froakie is dying! Can Du please lend me your Pokémon?”
    Farrah was proud to see Noir and Damascus working together as Vertigo yelled “Tie!” to end the battle. So they all started talking as they headed back to Vaniville.
So far…Strangely, Damascus finds a girl he knew, now with a Braixen. Farrah caught a new and very rare Pokémon.
Next: Damascus finds a surprise.
