The bells at the door sounded wildly as people come and go from the shop.
"A table for one please," one of the customers, said, as he was escorted to a table near the window.
After taking his sit, the person removed his coat revealing his true face, that of a boy around thirteen years of age wearing a white shirt that has a pokedex silhouette on the middle.
"So tired," the boy sighed as he rested his head on the table. "Nice going Dexter getting your self lost just before your grand adventure."
The boy named Dexter continued cursing himself until he heard the radio delivering the news.
"Afternoon everyone, and I'm Alice and here we are reporting live at Cerulean City. A herd of Bulbasaurs are currently wrecking havoc in the city and destroying everything in their way. Misty, the gym leading in the area is trying to hold the herd back but it looks like – wait what are you doing," the reporter was cut off mid sentence by a huge explosion and the entire broadcast was suspended with a jigglypuff song.
The boy looked up and sighed louder before standing and walking out the establishment.
"Another one of those reports ha, the numbers keep rising ever since Team Olympia showed up. If only the dexholders didn't disappeared ten years ago nothing of this would be happening," the boy whispered as he walked through the crowded street of Pewter City.
As he continued walking through the crowd, he saw a poster on the wall of one of the buildings. It was announcing the upcoming battle demonstration of the new dexholders of the four regions.
The boy simply shrugged at the poster and walked away. He didn't quite understand why four teenagers who were the same age as him would interest anyone.
"They haven't even proven their worth to be given pokedexes," he taught.
But after walking aimlessly through the crowd he came across a huge building with a dome shape roof and a pokeball sigh at the center.
"Pewter Gym," Dexter read the sign posted outside. "I guess this is were the gym leader Brock trains. I guess going in won't hurt."
But before he could enter a voice called out behind him.
"Hey," shouted a female voice behind him causing him to flinch and look back, "Are you here to challenge the gym leader?"
"Me? Not really just thought of checking out the place," Dexter said as he stared at the girl.
"Oh, then would you mind if I stick around with you till then," the girl asked letting down her long yellow hair which made her look really beautiful.
Seeing this, Dexter stood there at awe and accepted her request immediately. But what caught her attention was the Jack-of-Diamond card stuck in her straw hat and the white jacket with a cloud sign on it.
Once inside, the two walked around the huge facility seeing different trainers training their rock-type pokemon on the steep mountain like terrain.
"So what do you think," asked the girl as he walked beside Dexter.
"This is really amazing, my trainer blood is itching for a battle," the boy shouted as he looked at his fists.
"Then why don't you fight the gym leader," the girl asked as he stopped in front of the boy.
"Why? Are you crazy? I'm a low ranking trainer and fighting a gym leader would mean a complete trashing on my part," the boy shouted as he retorted at the girl.
"Oh? But looking at you pokemon I could tell their fairly powerfull."
"How can you tell?"
"Trust me," the gild smirked and walked away.
"Hey wait up," Dexter shouted as he followed the girl who kept on laughing
As the two continued going deeper the gym, they reached a huge flat form with huge boulders surrounding the edges. And on the center was a man wearing an orange long sleeve shirt and green cargo pants. Behind him were a golem and a huge Onix.
"Is that Brock," Dexter asked to the girl behind him but to his dismay the girl was gone. "Hey were did you go!"
But before he could search for his companion, the man at the field shouted at him.
"Hey kid! Are you here for a gym battle," the man said.
"Well," Dexter hesitated but was unwillingly brought to the center.
"Well even if you're not here for a battle, you still went through the short cuts that are hidden all through out the gym. So you could be a worthy opponent," the man name Brock said as he took out one of his pokeball.
"Wait, I just followed this girl in, I didn't even know about these short cuts," Dexter shouted trying to avoid a battle.
"Enough of this chit-chat! Go Golem," Brock shouted as he ordered his Golem to take center stage.
"What did I get my self into," Dexter sighed as he took out one of his pokeball. "Let's go Hydra!"
The pokeball glowed a bright blue and a Seadra came out.
"A water pokemon… and a high level at that," Brock marveled at the pokemon and quickly gave Golem a command. "Golem, Rock tomb before Seadra has a chance to attack!"
The Golem followed and quickly threw four huge stone stabs into seadra. But Seadra easily evaded the attack and countered with bubble beam without the order from its trainer. The attack hit the un-expecting Golem right at the center causing a critical hit.
"That Seadra of yours is something else, Golem, return. Finish it off Onix."
"Hydra, use intimidate at the approaching onix," Dexter ordered his Seadra which the pokemon complied with.
Before the Onix could even enter the ring, it was quickly affected by Seadra's intimidate causing its attack to fall.
"Intimidate," Brock shouted as he gave Onix its orders. "Use Dig quickly."
The large rock-snake pokemon burrowed underground and disappeared from sight.
"Hydra, hold your ground and prepare for its attack," Dexter ordered his pokemon before looking around.
The two stood in silence before a huge Rock flew from the hole Onix made. It was directed towards Seadra but the water pokemon was able to see it coming and deflected the attack but unfortunately it was caught by Onix's bind attack.
"Hydra," the boy shouted as he saw his pokemon screeching in pain.
"Good Onix, now Slam Seadra to the ground," and with the order from his trainer, Onix lifted Seadra and slammed the water pokemon into the ground causing a huge amount of dust to rise. "It looks like your Seadra's down for the count boy."
The boy kept quiet until the dust cloud was at its peak before giving his orders, "Hydra use Dragon Pulse and end this," from the dust a shock wave blew away the dust to reveal Onix unconscious on the other end of the field.
"Onix," Brock shouted as he saw his pokemon blasted a mile away from the battlefield.
"Hydra, return," Dexter ordered his pokemon as he pointed his pokemon at it.
"What's your name boy," Brock asked as he tended to his Onix.
"I'm Dexter," the boy answered as he stared as his pokemon.
"Dexter ha, you know, you're pretty good. The last time I had this much fun was when Red came by," the gym leader said as he laughed.
"Really, But I think that was a long time ago," Dexter said as he sighed.
"Oh you're wrong the battle with red that I mentioned wasn't when he was starting out, but the time before he disappeared," Brock said when he stood up and patted the boy's shoulder. "Well for the great battle, here's the bolder badge. You deserve it."
"Thanks, oh almost forgot the girl I came in it," the boy said as he placed the badge inside his bag.
"Well could you describe her? He gym is pretty huge so it might take a while before you can find her alone."
"Well, if I remember correctly, she should have long yellow hair and was wearing a straw hat. Oh yeah, she was also wearing a yellow shirt beneath a white jacket."
The gym leader stood there in disbelief as he listened to the boy's description.
"Why, was there something wrong from what I said," Dexter asked as he observed the man who had a serious look on his face.
"Sorry," Brock said as he snapped back. "I just thought of Yellow when you describe your friend."
"Well, now that you mention it, she did look a lot like yellow especially having a straw hat," the boy said as he remembered the girl.
But while the two where talking about Dexter's companion, a boy who was wearing a set of miner cloths came and started shouting.
"Brock," the boy said as he tried to catch his breath. "A girl is stealing the rock pokemons at the gym's breeding area."
"What," Brock said as he ordered the boy to lead him there. "Dexter your friend can wait. I have to deal with this first."
"I'm coming with you," Dexter shouted as he followed the two who went ahead.
When they reached the breeding area, a huge flock of Butterfree was blocking their view.
"Where did this huge flock come from," Brock shouted as he tried to remove the insects from his line of sight.
The three continued to make their way through the huge flock until they made into a clearing in the middle. There, a figure was standing in the middle with two Beedrills on her sides.
"Its y-" Dexter shouted but was interrupted by Brocks shout.
"Yellow," Brock shouted as he saw the girl who had a straw hat on her head.
"Long time no see Brock, it seems you lost to that kid," the girl said with out even denting her identity.
"Yellow," Dexter asked as he gaped at the thought of one of the dexholders standing in front of him.
"Why are you here? We thought you guys disappeared and why the hell are you doing this," Brock bombarded the girl with questions.
"Well, let's say we had enough of this weak world and are currently finding ways of making it much better," the girl said with a tone that contradicted her personality ten years ago. "Well I better get going, my handsome boss is going to get mad if I'm even a second late."
"Wait! Yellow," Brock shouted as he tried to stop his former friend.
But before they knew it, the girl was gone along with the Butterfrees in the room. Brock dropped to his knees when he thought the legendary dexholders could possibly be the new threat.
"What's this," Dexter asked as he took the card that was left behind. It was a Jack-of-Diamond card and on it was written Team Olympia.
"Hey Dexter, do you think you can visit Cerulean City next. Professor Oak is there, researching the previous Bulbasaur rumpage and Misty might be able to help out," Brock said as he left the room with a serious tone.
"I guess the grand adventure I was joking earlier just came true," Dexter said as he took a deep breath and sighed.
