SQUIRTLE, WARTORTLE, BLASTOISE
POKÉMON: SQUIRTLE
SPECIES: TINY TURTLE
TYPE: WATER
CLASS: HYBRID (REPTILE + AQUATIC)
STAGE: CHILD
DESCRIPTION: Squirtle is a small, light blue bipedal Pokémon with smooth skin. Its body is encased in a hard brown and yellow shell with a white wavy line separating the two halves. The shell has a slightly mosaic pattern. Squirtle has a barely noticeable beak leftover from eons of evolution. It is mostly just a slightly pointed protrusion of their face and has otherwise been replaced in function by bicuspid teeth. Squirtle have a small tail that is useful as a rudder in the water. All Squirtle have a tolerance of +/- 3% salinity in water.
HABITAT: Nearly anywhere where there is water
BEHAVIOR: Squirtle behavior depends on where they are located. Freshwater and lake Squirtle live in nuclear families consisting of around five to seven Squirtle. These Squirtle share the locations of food with other Squirtle in their territory. Ocean Squirtle are solitary, meeting only to mate and then leaving their eggs behind buried in the sand to fend for themselves.
DIET: Algaes and kelps, a very occasional fish or squid
GROOMING: Squirtle should be washed down with soap once a week. Squirtle's shell should be polished once a month to keep any grime from building up. You can accomplish this by rolling up a damp towel and rubbing it back and forth across the shell.
OTHER: Ocean Squirtle tend to be smaller than freshwater and lake Squirtle (about 25% smaller) so as to better avoid predators and conserve energy on the open ocean. They also have smoother shells and thicker tails for quicker maneuvering. In contrast, freshwater and lake Squirtle tend to be larger in order to put up a fight with predators. They also have bumpier shells which allow younger Squirtle to hitch a ride by grabbing on, providing extra sets of eyes and a power boost should any predator attempt to attack.
END.
POKÉMON: WARTORTLE
SPECIES: TURTLE/TORTOISE
TYPE: WATER
CLASS: HYBRID (REPTILE + AQUATIC)
STAGE: ADLOESCENT
DESCRIPTION: Wartortle is a medium-sized, indigo, bipedal, aquatic Pokémon with smooth skin. Its maw still retains some beaklike qualities, but now also has two prominent canine teeth. Its shell follows the same pattern as a Squirtle's. It has two pale blue feathered ears and a tail of the same color that is curled and resembles crashing waves.
HABTITAT: Mostly rivers for the freshwater type and the open ocean for the saltwater. During mating season, the freshwaters move inland to lakes to keep their young from the more dangerous predators.
BEHAVIOR: Freshwater Wartortle can often be found fishing for food along the river bank. They also have a penchant for submerging themselves in the silt to ambush prey that swims close by. During the mating season, males will engage in ramming contests by slamming their shells against one another. The first one to fall to their knees loses. Ocean Wartortle behave similarly to ocean Squirtle except that they do not always choose to flee and can fight off some of their predators due to their enhanced strength.
DIET: Algae and fish, squid if they manage to catch them
GROOMING: See Squirtle.
OTHER: See Squirtle. Be cautious as Wartortle have fangs unlike their pre-evolved form.
POKÉMON: BLASTOISE
SPECIES: SHELLFISH
TYPE: WATER
CLASS: HYBRID (REPTILE + AQUATIC)
STAGE: ADULT
DESCRIPTION: Blastoise is a large, slate blue, bipedal Pokémon. It has a hard, brown shell that curves up in a white wavy pattern along the bottom edge. Its stomach and lower jaw are cream colored. As well, its arms, legs, and stomach all share a characteristic banded appearance. It has two large gray cannons protruding from the shoulders of its shell. Its tail is stubby compared to Squirtle and Wartortle. It has three claws on each hand. On its feet it has three forward facing claws and one claw pointed backward. Blastoise's mouth protrudes from its face far more prominently than Squirtle or Wartortle and has a more beak-like structure to it, as well as having six canine teeth.
HABITAT: Rivers and lakes for freshwater Blastoise, the open ocean for saltwater Blastoise
BEHAVIOR: Freshwater Blastoise behave in much the same way as their pre-evolved forms. They also have a tendency to protect any of their pre-evolved forms from harm, ignoring whether or not they are related. The males prize accuracy over power and will attempt to impress females by shooting down small, moving targets with their cannons. Saltwater Blastoise are highly solitary, as with the other saltwater Pokémon of their evolutionary line, meeting only to mate. It appears that while freshwater Blastoise tend to mate for life, saltwater Blastoise mating pairs are seasonal. Salwater Blastoise tend to favor power over accuracy, as they prefer to either scare off other Blastoise or paralyze their prey with fear.
DIET: Fish and algaes, squids when they can catch them
TEMPERAMENT: Calm and a bit boisterous. Be cautious if you see young Squirtle hanging around them as they are very defensive
GROOMING: See Squirtle. Wax the cannons the same way you would the shell. In addition, check to make sure that the cannons are not clogged as can sometimes happen, resulting in a buildup of water within Blastoise.
OTHER: If your Blastoise is lethargic, its cannons may be clogged. Simply visit a Pokémon Center to have this problem remedied, as removing the cause of the back up may cause a pressurized stream of water to burst from the cannon beyond Blastoise's control.

CATERPIE, METAPOD, BUTTERFREE
POKÉMON: CATERPIE
SPECIES: WORM
TYPE: BUG
CLASS: INSECT
STAGE: CHILD
DESCRIPTION: Caterpie is a small green and yellow Pokémon. It has large black pupils and yellow sclera. They yellow coloration runs along the bottom of its body and in small rings along the side. Its body is segmented into a head, two thorax sections with two legs each, and a long tail resembling a rattlesnake's. It has two red feelers in a flattened Y-shape on its head.
HABITAT: Woods and forests, preferably temperate in nature
BEHAVIOR: Caterpie are fairly unremarkable in their behavior. They are diurnal and spend the day eating leaves. Asocial, they spend their days solitarily in the forest of their birth. The only remarkable exception that Caterpie have is their method of evolution, which consists of them using String Shot upon themselves which slowly builds up around them before falling away to reveal a Metapod.
DIET: Twigs and leaves
TEMPERAMENT: Friendly
GROOMING: Though it will likely be unnecessary due to Caterpie's rapid evolution, brush Caterpie once a day to remove accumulated dirt from its hair.
OTHER: Very rapid evolution, tied for fastest evolution among Pokémon that do not use abnormal means to evolve.
POKÉMON: METAPOD
SPECIES: COCOON
TYPE: BUG
CLASS: INSECT
STAGE: ADOLESCENT
DESCRIPTION: Metapod is a middling green Pokémon. It has no feet but rather balances on the bottom of its shell. It is completely green save for its yellow sclera and black pupils. It has two large bumps on the back of its shell, theorized to be holding shells for Butterfree's folded-up wings.
HABITAT: See Caterpie. Wherever predators happen to leave them after failing to get through the thick shell.
BEHAVIOR: Wild Metapod do nothing except harden their shells. Metapod that Trainers have raised from Caterpie can use String Shot and Tackle. Metapod tend to evolve to Butterfree after a day or two in the wild, or a few hours in the hands of a skilled Trainer.
TEMPERAMENT: Not applicable, Metapod do not move
OTHER: Rub down Metapod with a damp towel once a day to prevent dirt and grime build up.
POKÉMON: BUTTERFREE
SPECIES: BUTTERFLY
TYPE: BUG/FLYING
CLASS: INSECT + AVIAN
STAGE: ADULT
DESCRIPTION: Butterfree is a medium sized Pokémon with a purple body and large white wings. Its body is covered in a dense purple hair and it has red compound eyes. Its wings have a complex pattern of black stripes that varies depending on the individual Butterfree. They have two antenna on top of their heads. They have blue feet and blue claw-like hands.
HABITAT: Meadows and temperate forests
BEHAVIOR: Butterfree fly about in small swarms. In the mating season, these swarms swell into the thousands. They spend most of the day searching for flowers from which to acquire nectar. Butterfree have the odd property of being able to taste things with their feet, though they are able to turn this sense off. During Mating season, Butterfree court each other with aerial dances. Once a successful courtship has been established, that pair mates for life. Before mating, Butterfree will cross the nearest large body of water, usually a lake or an ocean. Once the two have reached the other side of said body, they will produce up to twenty Eggs at one time. They leave these Eggs behind since all Caterpie are born with instinctual knowledge of edible leaves and twigs. The pair often spends the rest of their days searching for the Trainers who let them go. Few ever make it back, and the ones that do often have to choose between Trainer and mate.
DIET: Nectar, can eat leaves when necessary
TEMPERAMENT: Very friendly, easily kept as a house pet
GROOMING: Brush Butterfree's hair once a day to prevent grime build-up. Once a month, dab Butterfree's wings with a damp cloth. This prevents scales from building up and weighing Butterfree's wings down. BUtterfre will not be able to fly for a short while after the dabbing so make sure that it is in a safe place.
OTHER: Butterfree mating season is in the early spring. If you do not wish to release your Butterfree, avoid places where Butterfree roam during this time. Be warned, sometimes there is nothing you can do, and Butterfree will find a mate.

WEEDLE, KAKUNA, BEEDRILL
POKÉMON: WEEDLE
SPECIES: HAIRY BUG
TYPE: BUG
CLASS: INSECT
STAGE: CHILD
DESCRIPTION: Weedle is a brownish yellow Pokémon. Its body is segmented, and has a head with a white stinger on it. It also has another white stinger on the end of tis tail. Each of Weedle's thoraxes has a pair of stub pink feet. It has small black eyes and a large pink nose.
HABITAT: Tropical and temperate forests
BEHAVIOR: Weedle are fairly unremarkable. They are nocturnal and spend their waking hours searching for twigs and leaves to eat. It uses its nose to distinguish between similar plants. They use the stingers on their heads and tails to fend off predators. Weedle and Caterpie tend to inhabit the same area and occasionally form small bands with Caterpie to fend off larger predators.
DIET: Twigs and leaves, herbivorous
TEMPERAMENT: Cautious, often runs from Trainers if they become distracted
GROOMING: As with Caterpie, largely unnecessary due to rapid evolution. If desired however, brush down Weedle once a day and polish its stingers twice per week.
OTHER: Weedle evolve rapidly. Be prepared (or have Weedle hold an Everstone), since Beedrill are far more dangerous.
POKÉMON: KAKUNA
SPECIES: COCOON
TYPE: BUG
CLASS: INSECT
STAGE: ADOLESCENT
DESCRIPTION: Kakuna is a middling yellow brown Pokémon. It is completely encased in a hard shell. Its eyes are large and black andits head is rounded. Its body has overlapping plates of hard armor.
HABITAT: See Weedle.
BEHAVIOR: Kakuna do nothing but hang from trees awaiting evolution, hardening their shells against potential predators and unprecedented falls.
TEMPERAMENT: Not applicable, Kakuna do not move.
OTHER: Rub down Kakuna with a damp towel once a day to prevent dirt and grime build up.
POKÉMON: BEEDRILL
SPECIES: POISON BEE
TYPE: BUG/POISON
CLASS: INSECT
STAGE: ADULT
DESCRIPTION: Beedrill is a large yellow Pokémon with two long black legs and two long black arms that end in large gray stingers. It has large, hymenopteric wings which allow it to fly by rapid flapping. It has a head, thorax, and abdomen. Its head has two large red eyes and two black antenna bent forward in an L-shape. Its thorax is small, but all limbs protrude from it at some point. Its large abdomen has two encircling black stripes as well as a yellow stinger that extends out the bottom of the abdomen.
HABITAT: See Weedle.
BEHAVIOR: Beedrill form colonies around a queen who produces young. The Beedrill raise the young for a while and then set them off in groups to form their own colonies. If not disturbed, Beedrill spend the day flitting about gathering nectars and the like for their designated queen. If agitated, by accident, or purposely, Beedrill quickly become aggressive and swarm over everything nearby. During the rampage, they will attack anything within sight with all of their stingers and are very dangerous, as their poison is quite potent.
DIET: Nectar
TEMPERAMENT: Easily provoked, do not keep around children
GROOMING: Beedrill groom themselves, so there is no need to groom them yourself.
OTHER: Beedrill are some of the hardest Pokémon to control, though it is easier if it was raised by you personally from a Weedle to a Beedrill. As such, it is not recommended that novice Trainers capture Beedrill or its counterparts until they acquire more experience.

PIDGEY, PIDGEOTTO, PIDGEOT
POKÉMON: PIDGEY
SPECIES: TINY BIRD
TYPE: NORMAL/FLYING
CLASS:AVIAN
STAGE: CHILD
DESCRIPTION: Pidgey is a small brown Pokémon with a cream colored underbelly. Its eyebrows and the lower third of its wings are also cream. It has a black boomerang shape extending from each eye. It has three brown tail feathers. Its talons are pink with white claws, two of which point forward while the other points back.
HABITAT: Meadows and woodlands, can occasionally be found in boreal environments
BEHAVIOR: Pidgey spend their days searching for seeds and berries as well as insects to eat. It is always aware of where its home is relative to its current location. Being a weaker Pokémon, it tends to flee from battle rather than fight, kicking up sand and wind to blind predators before it escapes. They tend to flock with others in their evolutionary line. There are usually fewer Pidgey in the flock than Pidgeotto, but the two are nearly equal in population compare to the far rarer Pidgeot.
DIET: Seeds, berries, insects
TEMPERAMENT: Easily startled, not good with children
GROOMING: Pidgey should be bathed every two weeks. You can go about this two ways. You can spray the Pidgey with a mist of warm water, or you may draw up a large tub of warm water and attempt to convince Pidgey to dip in it. Pidgey will eventually splash about in the water, which should be enough to clean it.
OTHER: It has a high homing instinct, which can be used to relay messages. Though its evolved forms are faster and therefore preferable, Pidgey is far easier to train in this regard, and can be trained by even novice Trainers. If Pidgey's feathers seem to be getting thinner, seek medical attention immediately, as this is usually a sign of illness.
POKÉMON: PIDGEOTTO
SPECIES: BIRD
TYPE: NORMAL/FLYING
CLASS: AVIAN
STAGE: ADOLESCENT
DESCRIPTION: Pidgeotto is a medium sized avian Pokémon. It shares many similarities with Pidgey, including overall color scheme and the orientation of its talons. Pidgeotto's boomerang marks are thinner, and it has a flattened, pinkish red crest of hair sprouting from just above its beak. It has five tail feathers, which alternate red and yellow.
HABITAT: See Pidgey.
BEHAVIOR: Pidgeotto also spend most of their days searching for food. They also occasionally court mates in elaborate displays of aerial courtship .Its speed and maneuverability allow it to surprise its prey by sneaking up from behind and then suddenly cutting in front. It is strong enough to carry heavy prey for a few miles. It usually flocks together with others of its evolutionary line and is generally the most populous of the line in said flock.
TEMPERAMENT: Confident, good with children
GROOMING: See Pidgey.
OTHER: See Pidgey.
POKÉMON: PIDGEOT
SPECIES: BIRD
TYPE: NORMAL/FLYING
CLASS: AVIAN
STAGE: ADULT
DESCRIPTION: Pidgeot is a large avain Pokémon and bears high resemblance to its previous forms. Major differences include its crest now being red, extending down along its back and having a yellow middle section. Its tail feather have been reduced to four, all completely red. Its legs are now covered in downy feathers and are often kept tucked in close to its body.
HABITAT: See Pidgey.
BEHAVIOR: Similar to Pidgeotto, it engages in elaborate courtship displays. However, this is not Pidgeot's most defining trait. Rather, it has actually lost some maneuverability from the Pidgeotto stage. It makes this up with its blistering speed. An experienced Pidgeot can spot its prey, screech, and then snatch up its prey before the prey has time to react. It often comes together with others of its line to form a flock, being somewhat rarer but nonetheless valuable due to its power and speed.
DIET: Berries and insects, seeds
TEMPERAMENT: Bold, seems to enjoy playing with young children
GROOMING: See Pidgey.
OTHER: See Pidgey.

RATTTATA, RATICATE
POKÉMON: RATTATA
SPECIES: RAT
TYPE: NORMAL
CLASS:BEAST
STAGE: CHILD/ADOLESCENT
DESCRIPTION: Rattata is a small purple quadrupedal Pokémon with a cream underbelly, whiskers, paws and inner ears. It has two large white incisors. Its tail extends upward and ends in a spiral shape. It has red eyes with white pupils. It has only two whiskers.
HABITAT: Meadows and cities
BEHAVIOR: Rattata scavenge nocturnally for food, often eating the remains of prey that predators leave behind. In the city, they are often found scampering about in pantries and dumpsters, looking for food that humans have thrown away. Though they generally scatter upon being noticed by humans, they occasionally become aggressive and attack humans who are trying to shoo them away.
DIET: Anything, prefers berries and seeds, will eat meat if necessary
TEMPERAMENT: Easily startled, occasionally aggressive
GROOMING: Bathe Rattata once a week in warm, soapy water. This helps to prevent dirt from building up in the fur of Rattata which can cause problems later. Also take care to brush its teeth at least once a day, as Rattata rely on them for many things, including defense and eating.
OTHER: Rattata can be found anywhere that humans can.
POKÉMON: RATICATE
SPECIES: RAT
TYPE: NORMAL
CLASS: BEAST
STAGE: ADULT
DESCRIPTION: Raticate is a large brown bipedal Pokémon with a cream underbelly and whiskers. Its tail no longer has fur and is cool to the touch. Its forepaws and hindpaws have developed into hands and feet respectively, as well as developing sharp claws that are non-existent in Rattata. It has four large white incisors which it uses to crack open the nuts it enjoys eating. It has black eyes and white pupils. Its whiskers are six in number. The insides of its ears are now dark brown, and the ears themselves are larger.
HABITAT: See Rattata.
BEHAVIOR: Raticate scamper about looking for mates and food. They are generally nocturnal, though it is not unheard of for them to be diurnal instead. They behave much like Rattata but cannot be easily shooed and must be removed by force. They are more aggressive than Rattata, attacking if they are caught in the middle of eating.
TEMPERAMENT: Moderately aggressive, keep away from young children
GROOMING: See Rattata.
OTHER: See Rattata. Raticate enjoy engaging in contests to see which Raticate can fit through the smallest opening. This leads to some unfortunate situations when they end up sneaking into houses through ducts and plumbing.

SPEAROW, FEAROW
POKÉMON: SPEAROW
SPECIES: TINY BIRD
TYPE: NORMAL/FLYING
CLASS:AVIAN
STAGE: CHILD/ADOLESCENT
DESCRIPTION: Spearow is a small brown Pokémon with black plumage on its back and red wings that turn pink in the lower third. It has a cream underbelly and talons that are nearly identical to a Pidgey. Its eyes are black in color and its head is surrounded by a jagged assortment of brown plumage.
HABITAT: Woodlands
BEHAVIOR: Spearow spend their days searching for seeds and berries as well as insects to eat. They tend to be aggressive when facing predators, pecking at them and scrathing them until the predator leaves. They always group together in large flocks with one or two Fearow in the lead. Spearow flocks can be quite dangerous as they will not let up until the leader is defeated and even then a few Spearow will continue to pursue the target.
DIET: Seeds, berries, insects
TEMPERAMENT: Mildly aggressive, not good with children
GROOMING: See Pidgey.
OTHER: Spearow are very loud. Their cries can be heard almost half a mile away. If you own a Spearow, you can train it to be quieter, but it is often easier just to have ear protection on hand at all times.
POKÉMON: FEAROW
SPECIES: BEAK
TYPE: NORMAL/FLYING
CLASS: AVIAN
STAGE: ADULT
DESCRIPTION: Fearow is a large brown avian Pokémon. The tips of its wings and its upper back are cream colored. It has a long neck and a red spiked crest on its head. Its sclera are white with black beak is long an pink. Its talons have four claws, adding another to the front facing ones.
HABITAT: See Spearow.
BEHAVIOR: Fearow spend most of the day soaring high in the sky, occasionally swooping down to snatch prey. If something attacks one of its flock, it will call the rest to assault the attacker and will not let up until it is defeated. Fearow's awkward body structure means that it does not have the maneuverability or speed of the Pidgey line in the air, but it is far more adept than them at chasing prey on land. Fearow also have more defensive capability than Pidgeot, due to larger wingspan and wingspread.
TEMPERAMENT: Moderately aggressive, keep away from children
GROOMING: See Pidgey.
OTHER: See Spearow..

EKANS, ARBOK
POKÉMON: EKANS
SPECIES: SNAKE
TYPE: POISON
CLASS:REPTILE
STAGE: CHILD/ADOLESCENT
DESCRIPTION: Ekans is a long purple Pokémon with a yellow underbelly which begins after the yellow ring around its neck. Its head seems to have the remnants of a hood from times long gone by. Its body ends in a rattle that it uses to warn off predators. Its eyes are yellow with vertical pupils. Purple rings spear on its body at regular intervals. They develop fangs and poison as they grow older, usually in a week at most. They are cold-blooded and rely on the Sun or other sources of heat for energy.
HABITAT: Savannas and grassy plains
BEHAVIOR: Ekans spend most of the day basking in the sunlight for energy. They hunt for Eggs to eat. They are very stealthy when hunting and all possess some swimming capabilities. Ekans do not need to eat for a few days after a particularly large meal. Newborn Ekans are immediately out on their own after hatching. Ekans tend to coil themselves around tree branches while resting, which allows them a great vantage point over potential threats.
DIET: Eggs
TEMPERAMENT: Cautious but will give warnings if threatened, young children should not be allowed nearby
GROOMING: Approximately every two weeks, bathe Ekans in warm water. The water should be quite warm (100-105 degrees Fahrenheit). Ekans will bathe itself, happily swimming around. After a short while, remove Ekans from its bath and dry it off gently with a towel.
OTHER: Its sense of smell is excellent and it is often used alongside Growlithe and other well-known scent-tracking Pokémon in police matters.
POKÉMON: ARBOK
SPECIES: COBRA
TYPE: POISON
CLASS: REPTILE
STAGE: ADULT
DESCRIPTION: Arbok is a large purple Pokémon. It has four canine fangs and small eyes with round black pupils. It has a forked tongue. Immediately below its neck its body expands into a hood. The hood is quite large in comparison to the head, and the patterns on it vary between regions, but most have black/red/yellow coloration. Arbok's tail has no rattle. Below the hood its body is covered in large circular purple scales. Like Ekans, they are cold-blooded.
HABITAT: See Ekans.
BEHAVIOR: Arbok spend a large portion of the day stretched out basking in sunlight. Arbok hunt by striking their prey from behind with poisonous fangs and then crushing the prey by wrapping it. At night, Arbok will seek shelter in a small cave and coil itself up with its back to the wall. This allows it to defend itself from predaors quite well, as they are incapable of sneaking up on it. They scare off predators by suddenly inflating their hoods to even greater proportions. This behavior can also be used to intimidate prey that manages to see Arbok before it strikes from behind. Arbok bury their Eggs in shallow pits of sand and then abandon them. They do not recognize familial bonds.
DIET: Small creatures and fish
TEMPERAMENT: Bold, moderately aggressive, can be trained to be calm around children
GROOMING: See Ekans.
OTHER: Arbok lose their astounding sense of smell but they make up for it with greatly increased swimming capabilities.

"Marie?"
Marie flinched at the touch of a finger to her shoulder. "Geez you scared me. What is it, Mia?"
"It's getting pretty late. The sun's almost set."
"Heh. Guess I've been too caught up with this to notice. Pichu and the others are tired, aren't they?"
"Yeah. They're not exhausted, so whoever'll be in the Contest tomorrow should be fine to go."
"I think I'm going to enter Shel and Kabu. They've been watching and practicing but haven't had a chance to compete yet."
"Think you'll win?"
"I don't know. Al is going to be there. He beat me the first time we faced off, and the next Contest we were both in, he didn't make it through to the finals."
"And you're not sure you can beat him, right?"
"Right. We'll just have to see. All right, we should probably set up camp. Can you help get firewood?"
"Sure thing." Mia turned to the Pokémon. "Come on, you guys. We gotta go get some wood for a campfire. We'll be back in a few minutes, Marie."
"Okay. I'll do the rest. Be careful."
"We will."
Marie watched Mia disappear into the forest and turned her attention to setting up the camp. After some trouble with setting up the tent, Marie decided to read further while Mia was away. The blue light from the Pokédex softly illuminated her face in the darkness as she pressed the "YES" key to continue. The Pikachu document opened and Marie briefly began to read before skipping down to the bottom to load the next page.
