there’s a wild Pikachu that I want to catch but there’s another girl that just entered the scene that also wants to capture Pikachu

"Hmph, I don't see your name here," Dawn snorts as she continues walking toward Pikachu. "This Pokémon is rightfully mine." Her pink boots squeak a little as they step on the dirt path. The wind ruffles her long blue hair slightly.

"Well excuse me!" she snaps back, folding her arms across her chest. Her lips press together in a thin line as she glares at the boy. She can't help but feel a bit silly for reacting so harshly, especially since he looks pretty cute. With determination in her eyes, she continues approaching Pikachu.

Her cheeks flush slightly as she frowns at the boy who won't back down so easily. Why is he being such a brat? Alright then! If he wants to play rough, she will too. "Well," she starts, crossing her arms over her chest, "I don't see your name here either. Maybe you should leave before I have to teach you a lesson!" Her heart skips a beat at how easily the words come out; she didn't mean to sound quite so fierce. But before he can reply, she takes another step toward Pikachu, showing that she isn't scared of him either.

Her breath catches in her throat as the boy suddenly charges at her, and before she knows it, they're tumbling to the ground in a pile of limbs and pink fabric. Her head spins for a moment as she lies there, blinking up at the blue sky above. "Oof!" she exclaims, trying to catch her breath. "What was that for?" She looks him over quickly, making sure he's okay, but mostly just a little ruffled from being tackled like that. She pushes herself onto her elbows, glaring at him even though he didn't hurt her at all.

Their faces are close enough now that she can see tiny flecks of gold in his eyes and the hint of stubble on his cheeks. She feels a strange flutter in her chest as she notices how cute he looks when he's annoyed. This definitely isn't helping with her determination to catch Pikachu!

Dawn frowns, looking up at him. "I-I don't know what you mean?" she stammers, feeling the heat creep into her cheeks again. She wiggles a little, trying to get out from under him, but he's still pretty heavy. Heat rushes to her ears as she realizes they must look rather... close right now. "Um..." She hesitates, unsure of what to say or do in this situation. Her chest feels tight and her heart is racing; it's taking every ounce of self-control not to blush furiously.

She finally manages a weak, "C-Could you please get off me?" There's no way she can outrun him now that he's on top of her like this. She might as well just admit defeat for the time being and focus on not making a complete fool of herself any further... but that doesn't mean Pikachu is completely off-limits!

Dawn sits up slowly, brushing the dirt off her clothes as she gazes at Pikachu with renewed determination. She takes a deep breath, trying to calm down and focus on what's really important here. With one last glance at the boy who just tackled her, she stands up gracefully and walks over toward Pikachu, holding out her Poké Ball confidently.

"There you go, little guy," she coos softly, aiming her Poké Ball at it with a small smile on her lips. "Time to come home with me." She takes a step back and throws the sphere of light toward Pikachu, watching intently as it curves through the air and finally connects, engulfing the Electric-type Pokémon within its confines. A flash of light later, and she holds her newly caught Pikachu up in triumph, grinning from ear to ear.

Dawn turns back toward the boy who tackled her, surprised to see him looking a little red as well. "Alright," she says slowly, "maybe we can share it? We both wanted to catch Pikachu after all." She tilts her head curiously, wondering how he'll respond now that she's managed to capture their shared prey.

"But we both wanted Pikachu!" she protests, taking a step closer to him. Her expression turns serious as she adds, "And you helped me catch it, even if you didn't mean to." She pauses, tilting her head to the side and trying not to blush as she continues, "Besides, we could always share it. You know... be friends? Maybe teach each other stuff about Pokémon?" Her gaze drops briefly before looking up again at his face, searching for any sign of agreement or disagreement in his expression.

She hopes he'll say yes; sharing Pikachu would be a good way to start out their journey together. And who knows? Maybe they could help each other become even stronger trainers in the process.

Dawn watches as the boy gets up and walks away, her heart sinking into her stomach with disappointment. "Wait!" she calls out hesitantly, hurrying after him. When she catches up, she looks up at his face imploringly. "Please? Just share it with me?" She holds Pikachu close, its soft fur reassuring against her palm as she pleads her case.

"I promise I'll take good care of him, and we could learn so much from each other! We don't have to fight about everything," she continues, hoping that he can see the sincerity in her eyes. "Please?" She takes a step closer, wanting nothing more than for them to be friends and share their love of Pokémon together.

Her breath hitches as she waits for his reply; part of her is terrified he'll say no, but another part won't give up hope until the very last second.
