From Veridian city, he decided to walk back through the forest to meet up with everybody. Johnny needed a fire type, and there were none for a while. He could use a good, solid grass type too. What he really wanted though, was an Abra. And a good flying type. "Speak of the Devil." He said as a group of Starly fluttered overhead. "Shadow knock one down with Aura Blast." Riolu jumped up and focused a beam of Aura energy and hit a Starly. As it came dropping down, he chucked a Pokeball up in the air and when it hit teh ground, he already had it cought. "Thanks Shadow. Welcome to the team Coast."

"Hey you! Why'd you randomly hit that Starly? That wasn't nice! I challenge you! Go metapod!"

"You sure? Ok then, go Coast!" The Starly was still close to max power, so a peck attack got him good. A super effective critiacl hit like thatt, took Metapod down and out.

"Aw man, now I have to go to the Center to heal." He walked away mad. A ways down the path, he saw James and Kyutto. "Hey guys whats up?"
