Otami Adventures Part III “Red River Town” OT “Alright I really need to get going now”, thought Pat. Pat kept thinking,“If I leave now and keep walking with no breaks I’ll be there in an hour” . “Well, then I guess that means we better keep going, right Totodile?” Pat said out loud. Totototodillllle, shouted Totodile in his loud voice. “Well, then, RETURN” Shouted Pat! “Time to really start this adventure”, thought Pat. Pat was running when all of a sudden a girl of about age 15 ran into him. She was an odd looking girl who was tall with black hair. “ Oh, sorry, sorry, very sorry, I am so sorry for that”, this Odd Girl exclaimed. Pat just stared at her. “ Oh, yes, how rude of me, my name is Kagome”. I’m a new trainer at this place” I was just running to get at the Red River 30 minutes early”, Kagome explained. “Why do they call it Red River”? Asked Pat. “They call it red river because once a year the pokemon upstream give off a red color and it colors the entire river red for about a week,” Kagome said. “So this river turns red for a week, big deal,” Pat exclaimed. “ Yah I know, but there are parties and food and candy and drinks and entertainment for free all week. Also, if you get their early all of the little water pokemon swim down river into the sea because they're afraid of the red color,” Kagome said, “ So I go there early and catch a couple,” “ What kind of water Pokemon are there?” Pat asked her. “Well, there are Azurill and Marill. Also there are some Luvdisks and Corsela that show up too,” Kagome said. “REALLY! I really like water Pokemon in fact I have a Totodile.” “COME OUT TOTODILE!” Pat shouted. Toto toto DILLLLE! “ Well, do you have a name for it”? Kagome asked. “Well, um, no I don't actually,” Pat said embarrassedly. “Well, think of one, every good trainer has one,” Kagome exclaimed. “Well, lets see...um Splash..no...Drop...no...Chomp...no...um, lets se-” “I KNOW HOW ABOUT TIDAL!” Kagome cut in. “Hey, Tidal, I like that name, Tidal, Tidal, Tidal. Yah Totodiles name is now Tidal,” Pat said excitedly. “Well, Tidal sure is a cute little Pokemon,” Kagome said. “Well, I really must be off now, nice meeting you,” Kagome said. “ Oh yah and are you going to the celebration?” Kagome asked. “Um I guess but I have to do some stuff first,” Pat exclaimed. “Well, okay I’ll see you there then I guess. Come a little early you might be able to catch something,” Kagome said. “All right see you later,” Pat shouted while he ran toward the PokéMart. “Well,” thought Pat,”What do I need here. Well, I need Pokéballs, and some potions...yah.” “Hello”,spoke the store clerk, “What can I get you today?” “Well, I’ll take seven pokeballs, one great ball, and two potions please”, Pat told the clerk.”Oh and I have this coupon.” “Okay that brings your total to...500 £, potions are on sale”,said the clerk. “Alright thanks sir”, Pat exclaimed. “Well, now that I have pokeballs and potions I think I’ll head down to Red River and catch a water Pokemon”, Pat thought in his head,”yah that’s exactly what I’ll do. I’ll show them, I can beat anyone, you just wait and see.” ::fifteen minutes later down at the Red River::: “Excuse me sir, are there anymore water Pokemon left?” Pat asked. “Well sort of ”, the man explained,”All of the stronger Pokemon have already past”.”Actually one lucky girl caught a Luvdisk, but all that’s left now are Azurill and a Marill here and there”, said the man. “Okay thanks sir”, Pat answered. “In his head Pat wondered if that girl was Kagome who caught the Luvdisk...”. :::three minutes later::: “Hey I wonder what this big crowd is for”, Pat thought in his head.” ::Pat turned and asked a woman a question::: “What is this crowd for.” The woman replyed and said,” There is a confused Azurill on the shore, but no one wants to catch it because it’s young and weak.” :::Pat looked at the shore and saw a crying Azurill on the shore and a bunch of boys where making fun of it and pushing it over::: :::Pat suddenly burst out yelling::: “HEY STOP IT!” “WHAT DID IT DO TO YOU” “BREAK IT UP”. Then one of the boys replyed,” Who says we should listen to you?” Pat answered back saying,” My Totodile says so.” :::Pat called out Tidal who saw the crying Azurill on the ground::: Infuriated Tidal watergunned all three boys right into the river. They all got out complaining and left. The group broke up leaving just Tidal, Pat, and the Azurill. “Hey little buddy, I’m sorry about what they did”, Pat spoke in a soft voice. Suddenly Azurill shot a squirt of bubbles at Pat. “Okay, yah I’ll take that for what you’ve gone through, but I’m here to help you, not hurt you”, Pat exclaimed. “Azu, azurill”, spoke Azurill quietly. “Yes, to help you”, Pat spoke. Then Pat asked Azurill, “You may be weak to others, but to me you’re the strongest Pokemon in that river.” “I want you to make a descion.” “If you want to come with me, because I want you to, you can go into this Pokeball”. :::Pat placed a Pokeball at the foot of Azurill::: “Make up your mind, do whats right”, Pat told Azurill. Azurill stared at the Pokeball then at Pat, then at the Pokeball, then at Pat, then back at the Pokeball and suddenly pressed it’s nose on the button of the Pokeball. “AZURILL”, shouted Azurill happily. :::The pokeball shook four times then clicked::: “Well, I’m glad you made the best desison here Azurill. Welcome to the team.”
