Following A River

[City]

Lacy walked along Route Two, she looked at the water.Hmmm...Maybe she'd find some water types here?She probably would. Tig was following close behind. Lacy had let him out because water types were weak against grass types, so Tig had the advantage.

[BirdyBot]

~WOOP-PAH!~ Came a cry from the far end of the river. A little Wooper broke the surface of he clear water. ~Pah!~ It cheered, paddling over to the riverbank by Lacy.

[City]

Lacy looked at the Wooper, while Tig just stared at it.He wasn't sure if he was supposed to trust it."Hello there."Lacy said, smiling.

[BirdyBot]

~Woop?~ The little blue thing thingyed its head. It pondered on something for a moment, then turned and dived into the river. A fin of some other Pokemon splashed out and in again a few seconds later.

[City]

Tig looked at the river, trying to figure out what Pokemon that fun belonged to.He was ready to attack if it meant any harm. Lacy just watched and waited. She wanted to find out what Pokemon that was, but she just waited.Like they say, good things come to those who wait.

[BirdyBot]

~Woop? Pah? Woop-er? Woop? Per?~ Not one, but six Wooper chattered as they emerged. The smallest, the one from earlier, hopped out the water. ~PAH!~ It cried, tapping Tig, before splashing into the river again. Cute, it wanted to play tag.

[City]

Tig just watched.That was a bunch of Wooper.... Tig jumped when he was tagged.Lacy smiled and let out Drowz, who just sat the like a lump. Sighing, she let out Midnight and Pach.Neither of them seemed very entergetic. Midnight just perched on Lacy's shoulder while Pach watched Tig.

[BirdyBot]

~Woop? Half a dozen Wooper poked their head out the water at the same time. The beckoned for the Pokemon at the riverside to follow them in, and all but one dived back under. The fin showed itself once more. Ooooh, mysterious. A deep, thundering roar came from it before it returned to the murky depths.

[City]

Tig froze when he heard the roar.What was that all about? Lacy was just staring at the water while Drowz just sat there, looking like he was sleeping with his eyes open. Midnight was practicly laughing his head off.Probably because it scared them so much....

[BirdyBot]

~Wail Wai!~ A huge Wailmer emerged from the rive, taking up most of the width. Most of the Wooper were either shoved aside or brought struggling to the surface as the massive Wailmer stared at Tig. ~Merrrrr~ It said. The river was clearly too small for it. Keeping its eyes on Tig, its body began to change.

Crawling out onto the land, the Wailmer was now identical to Tig. ~Ditto!~ It cried happily before its voice adapted. ~Tig! Lily!~

[City]

Tig was stunned.Had that Wailmer just turned into a Tigrily? Wait, and did it jast say 'Ditto'? Lacy grinned. A Ditto would sure come in handy.Tig was still stunned though, he hadn't seen another pokemon transform before.

[BirdyBot]

Tigrily, or should I say Ditto, stared back at Tig. ~Hi! What's it like having a trainer? Is she nice? If so, I've been thinking about getting one!~ it squeiled happily, hopping from paw to paw.

[City]

Tig blinked, trying to forget that it had just transformed from a Wailmer to a Tigrily.~You bet!~Tig exclaimed~My trainer is awesome!~ Lacy was excited, she might catch a Ditto!

[BirdyBot]

Ditto paused in thought for a moment. Then it came to a conclusion. ~OK, I'll take your word for it. But first you must prove yourself to me. A battle!~ it explained, shacking its new petals as it prepared to alter its form once more.

[City]

~A b-battle?~Tig said~Ok.~ Lacy returned all of her Pokemon except Tig. ~You can go first.~Tig said, getting ready to fight.
