To my suprise, a Starly jumped out of the bush and knocked me over! Then it jumped off and hid behind me. I was wondering why it was hiding but i soon found out... A Houdndour jumped out of the bush and landed in front of me. It looked angry and it started running around me trying to get the Starly that was hiding behind me quivering and shaking in fright! I could tell that the starly was relying on me for protection, but I was just as scared as he was... But I suddenly felt like being a hero so I tossed out my only pokeball and my sweet little Piplup came bursting out! Piplup took one look at the situation, then immediately looked angrily at the Houndour and waited for my command. "Piplup! Use pound!" I commanded. So Piplup rammed into the houndour as best he could but it barely did a thing... Then the houndour used ember on my Piplup... "jump!" I said quickly. S Piplup jumped up straight away, dodging the ember... Then, with one qick breath, my Piplup shot bubbles out of it's mouth at houndour whch sent it running away! "You learned bubble!" I said happily. My piplup looked so happy and brave that it decided to show off in front of Starly... But the Starly fust clung to my leg and wouldn't let go! So i knelt to the ground and hugged the Starly. "It's OK" I said comfortingly, "It's gone now...". The starly just looked up at me happily and then started to dance and jump around me happily. "Hey... Do you want to be part of my team?" I asked it. Then the Starly grew even happier, flew up on to my shoulder, and rested it's head on mine. "OK then! Now I just need to get you your own pokeball!". So I went to the market, bought a pokeball, and that is how I got my second pokemon! So, as the day turned into evening, I went back home, ate dinner, and went to sleep, ready for the next adventure the following day... And Piplup slept on the end of my bed whilst Starly on my coat hanger.
