Though most trainers began their journey by going to Jubilife City, Locke chose to begin his on Route 201. That way, he'd have more opportunities to capture Pokémon and strengthen his team.

Axew, perched on his shoulder, gave him a quizzical look as he walked along. "Sheeeew?" it asked. Didn't he know they were going the wrong way?

He smirked at the little dragon. "Don't question me, alright? We'll get stronger this way, and you'll have more teammates."

Axew considered this for a moment, then nodded in approval. "Sheeeew."

Locke mirrored the nod, then stepped into the grass of Route 201, anxious to see what sort of Pokémon would appear.

The Pokémon that appeared was a small flying type. The bird pecked at the ground until it heard the trainer approach. It looked around it, only then just knowing its flock was no longer around it. When had they flown off? Pidgey cocked its head to watch the trainer through one eye, preparing to either fight or flee. It was a bit upset that its flock left it, but there was nothing it could do about that.

Axew stared at the Pidgey and crossed his arms in disapproval. This thing looked weak and scrawny! Surely Locke wasn't going to capture it... right?

Apparently he was. He pointed at the bird. "There - your first teammate. Weaken it so I can capture it."

The dragon shook his head and sighed, as if to say 'you gotta be kidding', but still obeyed the order. He charged forward and used Dragon Claw on the bird.

[speaking of which, do attacks get STAB here?]

[No, there's no place for it in the formula. Believe me, I've tried to work it out]

The Pidgey may not have been very strong, but she was fast. As soon as she saw the Axew coming at her, she quickly flew in for a Tackle attack. Her reward for her brash stupidity was a direct hit from the Dragon Claw. She quickly shook it off and faced down the Axew once more.

Axew flexed his claws and growled at the Pidgey, ready to attack again, but Locke shook his head. "Stop. That should be enough." The pidgey looked sufficiently weak to be captured now.

Locke pulled a Poké Ball from his pack and tossed it at the bird, hoping for the best.

Axew was still confused, though. "Shew sheeew?" He had no idea why his trainer was wasting a Poké Ball on such a common Pokémon. Unfortunately no answer was forthcoming from Locke himself.

The ball hit the Pidgey on the head and she disappeared inside in a flash of bright red light. The ball fell to the ground where it proceeded to roll around as the Pidgey tried to break out. After a few shakes, she couldn't seem to do it and had to give up. The ball fell silent with a sharp "click."

The trainer smirked in satisfaction as his quarry was captured. A quick trip to the Pokémon Center and this bird would be ready to battle. For now, though, he would focus on training Axew.

"Alright, no more capturing," he said to the dragon. "I need you to get stronger now."

Axew nodded, but was a little conflicted. He was on board with getting stronger, but what if something really cool or rare showed up? What was Locke's deal, anyway?... If only he knew.

Fortunately for Axew, the next Pokémon who showed up was not "cool" or "rare." It was a simple Zigzagoon. As it walked into the path of the trainer and Pokémon, it growled at the pair, signalling that it would like to battle. It pawed at the ground dangerously.

"Shew..." Axew giggled as the goofy-looking Hoenn 'mon showed itself. It seemed to want a fight, too - which was just fine with him. "Shew!"

Locke nodded. "Hit it with Dragon Claw." He didn't have to ask twice; Axew was already eagerly making his attack.

Axew used Dragon Claw on the goofy-looking Hoenn Pokémon and ... knocked it out with one hit! The poor Zigzagoon didn't stand a chance! It fainted right off the bat and didn't get back up.

Axew grinned and scratched his head sheepishly. Well, that wasn't a very exciting battle... Locke seemed pleased, though. The little dragon was powerful; he liked that. He wanted to see more.

Axew was still eager too, and quickly looked around in search of a new opponent.

The next opponent was another bird. This one was different from the Pidgey, however. It looked even more docile than Pidgey, if that was possible. "Pidove," it called from its perch on a rock. All it really wanted was a scratch behind the head from the trainer. It waited patiently to see what the trainer would do as it chirped happily.

Pidove looked like it wanted to be friends, but neither Locke nor Axew cared. They were here to train, and that's what they were going to do, even at this bird's expense. Without even a word from Locke, Axew stormed forward and attacked with Dragon Claw once again.

Pidove didn't understand why the other Pokémon attacked it. A look of hurt washed over its face, quickly being replaced by anger. It sent a Gust attack back at the Axew, squawking angrily as it did so.

Axew glared at the bird as he was buffeted by the Gust attack. <Hmph! Well, at least you got a hit in.> He sneered as he attacked again, knowing this time the Pidove wouldn't be so lucky.

Locke was keeping a wary eye out, though - Pidove's angry mother might be the next Pokémon to appear. In that case, they would have to retreat...
