One day Ayame Convel was just chilling at home playing Minecraft with her friends, Reighn and Lulu. Ayame is 5'6, has mid-back length blonde hair, bright crystal blue eyes, and freckles sprinkled lightly across her nose and cheeks. Her house is light blue with the grey going from the bottom of the house until the top of the garage. The house is two stories tall leaving anyone who sees it with an impressive sight. In the grassy front yard are 2 old tall oak trees with huge branches covered in leaves of various shades of green, that seem to stretch forever when you stand under one of the trees near the base of these huge, enchanting, trees.

Ayame lives alone only accompanied by her animals. She has 2 cats, Ash and Star, she also has 5 dogs, Blake, Serene, Shadow, Luka, and Roseabelle. She also has one pokémon, a Charmander. Charmander is a troublemaker so he's usually in the room that Ayame set up for him, it is fireproof, has a 'usually' locked door, as well as treats, toys, and games so that Charmander doesn't get bored. Ayame lives in a suburban type neighborhood and somehow she and all of her friends were able to get houses right next to and across from each other.

On this particular day, Charmander noticed that for some reason his door was unlocked and is currently quietly tiptoeing his way into the kitchen to snatch some of Ayame's leftover steak from dinner. When Charmander is in the fridge trying to find said leftovers he hears some light footsteps and then looks behind him. He squeaks and jumps in surprise because Ayame is standing behind him, her face flushed, and hands clenched at her sides. He then runs out of the fridge and starts running around the house knocking things over with his tail, with a furious Ayame chasing him. "Charmander! Knock this off right now!"

   He of course doesn't listen and keeps running around. Ayame then quickly calls Epsilon, her younger brother, and Myles, one of her best friends. Now, Ayame wouldn't normally call Epsilon for help with anything, but seeing as everyone else that could help is out and about or shopping, she didn't have much of a choice if she wanted to be able to catch her naughty Pokémon. Both boys agreed to help and quickly rushed over.

Myles arrived at her house first and she looks up at him and her face gently changes from anger to happiness. A smile weaving its way onto her face. "Hey, Ayame. Soooo... where is Charmander right now?" He says looking down at her.
   "He is currently running around the living room tearing up the couches and knocking all of the books off of the shelves." She brings her hand up to her face. Rubbing her forehead, an early sign of her getting a headache from the stressed.
   "Well, I brought my watch in the hopes that it'll work and that it might help us catch Charmander." Myles pulls out the enchanted watch. Then looks at her, her face more relaxed and a grin stretching across her mouth.
   "Thank goodness!!! I hope this will help us catch him!" She jumps up and down in her excitement. Myles laughs at her excitement. "R-i-i-n-n-n-g-g-g-g." "Ummm. Ayame? Who else did you call over to come help?" She throws her head back scrunching up her face letting out a groan. "Ughhh... I called Epsilon over to come help as well." "Why? Why would you call him to come help?" Shock evident on his face. "Because... he was the only other person in the neighborhood who was home and able to help besides you..." "Well, there is nothing we can do about it now, go and let him in I'll try to get my watch ready." "Kay' thanks, Myles." "Of course." They smile at each other and then Ayame lightly jogs to the door hand turning the handle opening it letting her brother in. "Hey Epsilon." "Hey, so I don't know how exactly I could be of any help." "We will work it out as we go, c'mon Myles is trying to get his watch ready." Epsilon groans and throws his head back annoyed. "He's here?!" "Duh. Now, let's go." She pulls him and then shuts the door.

They get to where Myles is and his face is flushed and scrunched up, "UGH! YOU STUPID WATCH! OF ALL DAYS TO NOT WORK!" He then slams the counter with his fist. Ayame puts her hand on his shoulder lightly rubbing it with her thumb, but with him not knowing her and Epsilon were there he jumped up in surprise and swung his head in her direction, instantly calming down when he realizes it's just her. "Don't worry too much about it not working, we can try another way to catch him." Epsilon is looking around at the damage and then notices some fire. "Um Ayame, your rug is on fire..." She quickly turns to where he's looking and her eyes widen in her surprise, she then bolts to the kitchen and grabs a fire extinguisher. "Got it!" She runs back into the room, pulls the clip on the mechanism and puts out the fire. Epsilon made a Lenny face, "Wow, didn't know it did that." Myles covers his mouth trying not to laugh but failing. Ayame then looks back at them both, glaring. She then picks up two hardcover books off the floor and throws one at them both. They both get hit and make a noise of complaint, then Myles reluctantly apologizes for laughing at the comment Epsilon made. Epsilon, however, "Nopeee, it was way too good for me to apologize."

She death glares at Epsilon again, and then clears her throat. "Now can we please just try to catch Charmander?" They both mutter something along, fine and okay. "Good! Now let's go!" "C-r-r-a-a-s-s-h-h-h" Epsilon mutters, "Uh oh..." All three of them run downstairs to the sleepover area Ayame set up down there and see the Charmander has knocked over everything, besides the couches. The noise they had heard was a bookshelf that had glass doors hitting the ground. At this point Ayame has steam coming out of her ears, face completely flushed, hands clenched so tightly her knuckles are turning white. Epsilon gives an idea "Ayame, have you tried to use your ring yet?" "Oh, I completely forgot I had that. Yeah, it would've been useful if I had thought about that earlier." "Do you have the ring on you Ayame?" "Myles, of course, I'm wearing it, it's too valuable to leave it lying around, you know that." Epsilon gives Myles a dumbfounded look that says 'How did you not know that? Weirdo.' "I didn't think about that, and Epsilon don't give me that look. There are plenty of obvious things that you forget about." Ayame giggles at Myles' comment, and Epsilon crosses his arms annoyed at the comment. "Calm down boys, now let's catch Charmander!" She fist bumps both of them

After being in thought for a few minutes Ayame suddenly clapped her hands together. "Ok! I've figured out how we can do this. Follow me quick." She leads them into the bedroom across the hall from the living room. "Since the bathroom connects to this room I'll wait in there and both of you will corner him until he goes in there. Then I'll have been getting my ring ready and by the time you get him cornered I yell when I'm ready then you'll both walk towards him and he will run in the bathroom to get away from you guys. Then, BAM! I catch him!" She smiles at them, Determined, "Does that sound good?" Epsilon's face has a look of 'How the heck we're you smart enough to figure that out.' The boys both nod their heads. Everyone walks to their positions.
Ayame's eyes are squeezed shut, brows furrowed, right hand clenched knuckles turning white. The boys walk into the room, Myles staying near the doorway and closing the door behind him, Epsilon walking around the knocked over, burned, and torn up couch. They look to each other as if talking to each other with telepathy, and nod. They start stalking towards him as if he was their prey. Charmander tries to fake run an opposite way but they don't fall for it and stay walking on the path they started with, determined. Charmander sees that they aren't going to back off he then walks backward-looking up at them, head going back and forth between the two boys. He then ends up reaching the wall, the boys three feet away from him. He then notices the door next to him. In fear he hurries and runs into the room without noticing who was in there, Ayame's eyes snap open and while narrowing her eyes at him while smirking she says, "Gotcha." His eyes shrink in fear and he tries to run through the door he entered in, but to his dismay, Epsilon and Myles were behind him with the door shut. Then a blinding, bright blue-silvery light filled the room.
When the light dissipated all that was left where Charmander was the normal Red topped, whit bottomed poke ball with the black line and button on it. Ayame's knees give out and she leans against the wall, "Finally..." Myles walks over to her and helps her up. Epsilon leaned over picking up the poke ball, "Here." He hands it to his older sister. "Thanks... OK! Now let's go and put him back into his room."
The group trudges up the stairs and then down the hall to where Charmander's room is. Ayame walks in and sets the poke ball on the bed. She leaves the room and securely locks it. "Thanks for helping guys. You can head home now." They all bid goodbye and Ayame then walks into her room collapsing on the bed. Falling asleep quickly after having such a long day.
The End
