Being still a little sceptical but deciding to adapt to Johto, Aia walked through route 29 heading for Cherrygrove. Chimchar was out of his pokéball as usual, walking next to her.
Suddenly they heard a rustling noise in the grass beside the road... it was... a pokémon?
"Chimchar, go check it out, please," Aia said, not really interested actually. But she didn't want any nasty surprises.
Chimchar nodded and skipped over to the grass that had moved. To find... nothing. He shrugged and shook his head towards Aia. "Oh well. Good then," she said and they kept walking.
After a while, Chimchar let out a little yelp. "What now?" Aia asked. Chimchar was focused on a patch of grass beside the road. This time, Aia went there to check it out. But nothing was there. "Stop worrying," she told him.
But then it happened once again. And this time both saw it. Both jumped forward to the patch of grass that was moving at the same time, and somehow managed to corner the little thing that was making the noise. It was a Shinx!
(so, will somebody play the Shinx or how is this going to work with battles? I'd like to capture it :3 )
