Nicknaming his best friend

[Zachary]

Zachary walked in the town with his best friend Squirtle in his arms. He was thinking about nicknaming his pokemon because it would develop a stronger bond. So, he stopped and placed Squirtle back to the ground. 'How do you feel so far?" "SQ!" said the Squirtle, sounding like "Great". Zach smiled and asked. "I think it's cool if your name is..."-he thought for a moment but then decided-" Tide. Cuz, this name fits you. Whadda you think?" Squirtle nodded in agreement and used Bubble moves happily. Zach was impressed and happy at the same time. "Ok! You will be Tide!" "SQUII" said Tide as he jumped into his arms again. Squeezing his best friend, he then continued his journey to Route 1.

(Wolfia) *waves Zach goodbye*

[Zachary]

He saw Wolfia waving goodbye and he returned with a wave of goodbye out to her. "See ya later!" he shouted over her before he ran toward the Route 1 with Tide in his arms. This girl is kinda cute, he thought almost aloud but shook his head and blushed. Tide looked up at him in puzzlement. "SQUI?" his blue head tipped to the right side.
