Please don't take this seriously, everyone. It's a short story I decided to write out of sheer boredom, and it really won't be my best. I'll continue it later in another thread because of the limited space on my 3DS.



"Argh!" exclaimed the annoyed Gym guide. Mr. Clyde had just about had it with the Gym Leader's sudden disappearances. He told the impatient challenger to wait for a moment while he rushed to Castelia City's nearest telephone booth. He quickly dialled the Gym Leader's mobile number, only to hear a familiar ringtone coming from the Gym across the street. Mr. Clyde dropped the pair of sunglasses he was holding. "He left his phone at the Gym?!"



Meanwhile, in a dim, grassy area partially lit by sunrays peeking through the treetops, a tall, quiet man in a ruby-colored cape was standing in front of a tree. He was also wearing a ruby-colored scarf, a green, long-sleeved shirt, and green pants with ruby-colored stripes. His thick, bushy hair was a light brown color, and all of his attention was drawn to the tree in front of him. This man's name was Burgh, and he was the Gym Leader of Castelia City.



Despite his effort, Burgh was unable to concentrate any longer and collapsed, letting out a sigh of exhaustion. He had just walked across Skyarrow Bridge, after all. Burgh rolled on his back so he could see the treetops and the shadows of the wild Pokémon moving about around the canopy. He adored nature. It was one of his favorite sources of inspiration. The tired painter put his pencil and sketchpad back in his little knapsack. "This is the worst case of artist's block I've had in years!" he exclaimed.



Burgh often came to Pinwheel Forest in search of inspiration for his next painting, which always started out as a quickly-drawn sketch. It was easy for him to get excited, so a tree housing a family of sleeping Pokémon was usually enough. Things were different this time, however, and he was in need of something truly magnificent. He was too worn out to think about anything at the moment, though, and he slowly dozed off. The last sound he could make out before falling asleep was the vague honking of a camper on a road north of the forest.



"Whoa!" exclaimed Burgh in surprise as he woke up. A tiny Sewaddle that was on his chest was tugging at his scarf. It stopped when it realized that Burgh had woken up. The curious Pokémon looked at him in wonder. "Hello, little guy," he said as he picked it up gently. He stared at it in surprise after blinking the sleep away from his eyes, though. "Heavens, you're small!" he said in shock. "Where's your mother?" Burgh paused for a moment to look around. Then, still holding Sewaddle, he got up. "Let's go find her."



The Gym Leader and the Pokémon he was carrying met a horrific sight at the outskirts of the forest. A Leavanny had been hit by a car - it obviously had not made it. Little Sewaddle, who was a few days old at most, simply did not understand what it was looking at. Burgh did, however. His feeling of surprise slowly became a feeling of pity, and he looked at the Sewaddle he had put on his shoulder. How would he explain the situation to it? Would it understand even if he tried?



A few hours passed, and Burgh and Sewaddle were sitting in a tall tree. They were high up enough to see the sky completely. Burgh was thinking hard about what to do. He couldn't bear the thought of abandoning a baby Pokémon, especially a Bug-type. He specialized in Bug-types, and they were often the main subjects of his art pieces. But he wondered whether it would survive without its mother even under his care. It wasn't even old enough to say its own name! Burgh looked at his bite-sized new friend, who was merely staring at the clouds in awe. Then, he sighed and looked at the sky himself. The sun had begun to set, and the sky was a lovely orange color, glowing scarlet just above the horizon. "Wow," he said, put under the spell of nature's beauty. Sewaddle paused for a second to look at Burgh, and then it returned to sky-gazing. "Wow..." it said in a soft tone.



Burgh nearly fell off the tree. He quickly turned to Sewaddle. "What?!" Sewaddle then turned to Burgh. "Wow!" it said. He could not believe his ears. Had the Sewaddle just talked? "...How are you speaking?" he asked. Sewaddle just blinked. "Wow!" It repeated what Burgh had said when he was staring at the sunlit clouds. "Wow, wow!"



Burgh realized that it wasn't moving its mouth. Also, it was struggling a lot and moving its stubby little limbs, trying to tell him something. "Perhaps it has telepathy..." Burgh thought to himself. How could it have had telepathy, though? It wasn't a Psychic-type! It was obviously trying to get a message across, but this was pretty much a futile attempt, as the only word in its vocabulary was "wow".



The fact that Sewaddle could 'speak with its mind' unlocked an entire new set of possibilities. Burgh could try to teach it to talk, for example!

NintendoFanKimmy :  YOU WROTE ALL THIS IN THE 3DS !? That's amazing and impressive work cousin :3. Anyway time to do mah review. So you're talking about Burgh huh? Well first of all, HE'S CUTE YAY :3. ALL HAIL BABIES :3. XD lol anyway, that was funny when I saw that a Leavanny has been crashed by 'the car'. You know what I mean by 'the car' right ?

greenluigi : Yes, I do xD. Also, you didn't have to call that a 'review' as it wasn't all that detailed, plus, you insist on typing emoticons galore and the "All hail babies" thing, which is personally scaring me a little .

NintendoFanKimmy : Interesting story. I have no clue you can do this on the 3DS. also Professor Layton vs Phoenix Wright is out in america.
