Adventure 1: Grey and Machop

Adventure 1: Grey and Machop

Color Town is where our story begins. It is nothing more then a mere hamlet. Within this town there are maybe 200 residents at most. Everyone knew each other. There was Mr. Basque the baker, Shimmer the bartender, and Professor Wattieza, the oldest Pokemon Researcher alive. Wattieza choose this place to retire so that he could continue his Pokemon research in peace. It was quiet, beautiful and in the middle of a mountainous region. There were lakes, forests, and so forth.

People knew of Wattieza as he was not only the oldest researcher, but the oldest Authority of Pokemon. Even Professor Oak respected him, the Elite four from every region respected him, and so did the infamous Team Rocket. However, no one however knew where he had disappeared to: that is, except for Professor Oak.

Professor Oak was given his first pokemon at a young age by Professor Wattieza and grew to be his most trusted disciple. Even now, Professor Oak keeps his mouth shut on his whereabouts. No one but he, and the people of Color Town know of his whereabouts.

Enter Grey, a chipper young lad who is on a hurry to run an errand for the old professor. Grey was being followed by a Brown Machop. This Machop was his first and only pokemon. Both Grey and the Machop had a similar attitude. Thet were adventurous and seeked an exciting life, and they both wished to begin there journey. However, they felt they weren't ready yet. Dewey was leaving the professor's lab as he had just received his first pokemon. Dewey passed up Grey and Machop with a big smile. "Grey!" Dewey shouted, "I have my first pokemon!" Grey and Machop grinned. "If that is the case Dewey, you better hurry up! I wanna fight you when you get stronger! That Is assuming you can beat Machop!" Machop grinned happily and they both began laughing. "Machop Mamamamachop!"

Dewey could not help but laugh as well. "But how is Machop going to get stronger if you refuse to evolve it?" Dewey asked. Grey smiled once more. "Who needs to evolve? That isn't what makes Machop strong!" Machop grinned once more and said "Machop!" "Now you better hurry and go get stronger so you can fight us!" Grey said excitedly. Dewey smiled and ran off holding the pokeball in his hand. "Bye Grey! Bye Machop!" Dewey shouted in sheer excitement. Grey and Machop watched as Dewey headed off down the rocky path, and out of nowhere there heard, "Oye Oye… stop that racket grey!"

Grey and Machop freaked out as behind them was old Professor Wattieza. "You finally came, now hurry up and come inside you to…" Grey and Machop looked to each other and quickly hurried inside.

The inside of the lab was very old school. A lot of the devices seemed more like clockwork then they did technical. The only things with any bit of technology behind it were the devices used for transferring and holding pokemon. Grey and Machop quickly took a seat and waited for the professor. The professor sat down on his soft chair under his large cookoo clock while sipping some hot tea. "As you two know, there has been lots of sightings of a pokemon that is not of this habitat." Grey and Machop look to each other. Grey once again looks to Wattieza and asks, "Do we have any idea what it may be yet?" Wattieza shook his head. "No, I examined the dropping sample you found it is something I have yet to see. As you know we have five known families of pokemon in this wilderness: the Pidgey family, the Spearow family, the Sentret family, the Zigzagoon family, and the Surskit family. It matches none of them, and neither does it match any that I have seen before. However, I have noticed a pattern. Wherever the pokemon are most frequent at any certain time that is where we find traces of the pokemon we have yet to see. I am going to have my Noctowl scan the area and that is where you will investigate." As he was explaining this, Grey and Machop were dosing off. "YOU WERE ASLEEP THIS WHOLE TIME?" yelled Wattieza. "RIGHT! RIGHT! Find pokemon in forest, no problem!" Grey said nervously while Machop was starting to wake up.

Wattieza held up a purple ball. "This is a Masterball. With it, you are capable of…" but Grey and Machop were sleeping again. "DON'T SLEEP WHEN I AM TALKING ABOUT SOMETHING IMPORTANT BAKA!" He threw the ball at Grey's head snapping it in half. Grey woke up and freaked out to the shocked face of a man who just lost a very expensive masterball.

Dusk was slowly turning into night. Grey and Machop, both with bruises and bumps on there faces walked through the forest, following a rather senile looking Noctowl. "Noctowl…" grey said, "Are you sure this is the way?" Noctowl began to flutter savagely and went off into the woods. "Crap! He found something?" Grey and Machop followed the Noctowl as they figured it might have found something. It was actually just being beaten by a surskit. "BAKA OWL!" "MACHOP!" Both Grey and Machop kicked the owl as it began fluttering again. "Machop! I think he found something this time!" "Machop!" They followed Noctowl to find it being attacked by a zigzagoon. "BAKA BAKA OWL!" "MACHAMACHOP!" They kicked it one more time. The owl sighed and relaxed on the closest tree.

Grey and Machop sighed as they sat under the branch with Noctowl perched. "Machop… I don't think we're going to find this pokemon that Wattieza mentioned…" "Machop…" Then suddenly they heard a scream from deep down in the darkest part of the woods! It went, "AIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!" Grey and Machop got up quickly for they recognized the scream. "Dewey was running through the forest at a panicked state. He was covered in bruises and his clothing was torn. He had blood coming down his cheek. He held on to his pokeball as tight as he could. He kept running and running until Grey stepped up with Machop in his path. He ran past them a little ways and stopped. He looked back to grey and Machop in tears. Grey asked, "Dewey, if you keep running, how do you plan on beating Machop if you keep running like that?"

Dewey sniffled as hard as he could. "Guys… run… it's coming…" Grey and Machop grinned in excitement. "Watch Dewey… we're going to tackle fear and put the fear back into its eyes. Watch like a man!" Dewey looked blankly and got up and watched. From within the dark forest, a vibration could be felt. It was a large creature, larger then normal. But Grey and Machop just grinned. "It's here…" said Grey. Machop got into a fighting stance as an enormous Fearow with a large fat body pushed two trees out of the ground with its large wings. Dewey got just as scared as before, if not more so. The fearow had a deadly gaze. Its face and body was covered in scars which were most likely caused by battles with other pokemon. But Grey and Machop did not stand back. Grey shouted, "LET'S GO MACHOP!" "MACHOP!" Machop charged forward!
