two little birds: This cache and another in the series have disappeared a few times, so I have decided to archive the series. Thank you to everyone who has visited them and hope you enjoyed the trail.

This is the first of a series of a 7 cache loop. The first 6 are traditional caches, with each of these holding a clue to the name and the location of a seventh mystery bonus cache.
It is recommended that the series be done in order from 1-7, as short-cuts may lead to confusion and delay, possibly involving barbed wire. In general the footpaths used in this series are in relatively good condition, though in a few places they can get quite overgrown so watch out for spiky plants and stingers.
This series of 7 caches is based on the Little Bird’s love of all things Pokemon. It is her dearest wish to become a Pokemon master and spend her life hunting the world for these ‘pocket monsters’, so it was natural that for our first ever cache series she would choose a Pokemon theme and invite others to ‘Catch Them All’ too.
She has chosen a specific Pokemon to ‘live’ in each cache location ready to be captured and trained by all you budding Caching Masters, so pay attention to the description of the little creatures as clues to their likely locations may be found in mentions of their favoured habitats and behaviour!
Bulbasaur is the pokemon who lives in this first cache location.
Bulbasaurs are a grass-type pokemon. They are somewhat toad-like in appearance with a large symbiotic bulb growing out of their backs. The bulb gives them special powers, such as the ability to gain energy from the sun, and a variety of self-defence/attack strategies, like Vine Whip and Leech Seed, that use physical features of the bulb.
These pokemon are rarely found in the wild, being mainly domesticated, but can still be found lurking in secret, hidden places in forests or by large areas of water.
Bulbasaur's cache is a black, oblong container with a tupperware-type lid. It contains the first letter and first number needed for discovering the bonus cache.
As well as the first clue to the bonus mystery cache, it contains on activation a logbook and pencil in a plastic bag, First To Find and Second To Find reward cards and a number of swaps including a Pokemon trading card.
The section of route to this cache can get quite overgrown and it is hidden a short way from the footpath in a spot that may be challenging for geokids to search.
