A/N: So instead of writing a new chapter I decided to rewrite the 1st chapter as it wasn't up to the mark. Hopefully this is easier to read and is better than the first version.
"Corsola, use spike cannon!" a voice rang out from Cerulean City gym as a pink and blue Pokémon with spikes on its head fired out white spikes.
"No, Wingull!" another voice called out.
"Wingull is unable to battle! Corsola wins and the victor is the Gym Leader, Misty!" a green haired boy with a red band across his head announced.
"Nice job, Wingull, return!" Wingull's trainer said, "That was a great battle Misty! But I'll be sure to win next time!"
"I won't go down that easy, Tim!" Misty grinned and replied.
Tim smiled and he ran out of the gym towards the Pokémon Center.
Misty's POV
I sighed and plopped myself down on a sofa exhausted from the battle.
"Nice job, Misty." Tracey said and he went to answer Daisy's summons for him.
"Thanks." I sighed staring at the ceiling. Being a gym leader was fun, but I missed adventure, especially after that whole incident with Togetic.
"Togetic." I thought and my tears welled up as I remembered the scene of my beloved baby Pokémon flying away from me… No I couldn't dwell on that, it would kill me. I choked back the tears and thought about something else. I looked down at the PokéBall on the opposite sofa and had a flashback.
"Misty! You like have a phone call!" Daisy called out. I sighed and asked, "Who is it?"
After a few moments of silence, she replied,"A little kid named Mikey!"Daisy replied.
Confused, I walked over to the phone
"Hey, Mikey! It's been a long time hasn't it?" I told him.
"Yeah it has!" the boy excitedly replied.
"So… why the call?" I asked.
"Yes, so you see, an Eevee recently hatched from an egg of ours, and we were wondering if you wanted it?"
"An Eevee? Of course! I'd be delighted!"
"Awesome! I'm sending him over. Take care of him!"
It had been a few weeks since then and every day early in the morning and after the gym closed I'd been training Eevee and he had grown pretty strong but I couldn't use him in the gym as he wasn't water type. I had thought about evolving him into Vaporeon, but I didn't have a water stone (stupid right?). I picked up his PokéBall and went outside to the backyard.
I threw Eevee's PokéBall on to the ground and the brown Pokémon appeared.
"Evui!"
"Are you ready to start training?" I asked.
"Evui!"Eevee replied ecstatically. Just when I was about to command a Shadow Ball…
"Mistyyy? One of your friends, like, wants to have a friendly battle!" Daisy's voice came from inside.
Leave it to Daisy to skip the details.
"Are you going to tell me who it is or what?" I yelled back.
"Some guy named Ritchie!"
Ritchie? I hadn't seen him since Johto. Why would he be here now?
Regardless a battle was a battle, and as it wasn't a gym battle, I could use whomever I wanted!
"Eevee? Are you ready for your first battle?"
"Evuuui!"
We sprinted outside and came face to face with the red-head.
"It's been a while, Ritchie."
"Yes, it has, Misty. Are you prepared for our battle?" he replied.
"Of course! Misty calls… Eevee!"
"Sparky, I choose you!" he said and threw Sparky's PokéBall
"Pika pi!" Sparky the Pikachu cried out.
"Evui!" Eevee replied.
"Ladies first." He said
I smirked.
"Eevee, start this off with Tackle!"
Eevee charged at Sparky who simply jumped over him.
"Nice dodge! Now, use Thundershock!"
"Piiikachuuu!" electricity flew from Sparky's body landing a direct hit on Eevee right below him.
"Eevee!" I cried out as the dust settled, I saw that Eevee was fine, despite being disgruntled.
"Alright, use Quick Attack!" I commanded
"Evui!" Eevee moved too fast for Sparky to respond and rammed headlong into him sending him flying backwards.
"Now, use Shadow Ball!"
Eevee opened his mouth and fired the orb of darkness at the recovering Electric Pokémon
"Pika!" Sparky cried out as he fell onto his back.
Ritchie smirked, "It'll take more than that to beat us, Misty! Sparky, use Thundershock again!"
The Thundershock fired in all directions due to Sparky being on his back and hit Eevee in the face.
"Evui!"
"Hang in there, Eevee! Use Shado-"
"Let's end this, Sparky! Thunderbolt!" Ritchie shouted.
"Pikaaaa… PIKAAA...CHUUUUUU!"Sparky cried out as an attack I'd seen many times burst from Sparky, but before it could connect a bomb fell down from nowhere and exploded into smoke.
"Hey, what's the big idea?" I called out while Ritchie coughed.
"Misty, what's going on here?" Tracey exclaimed as he stepped out of the gym just as vaguely familiar cackles rang out from the smoke.
To be continued…
