The untold story of Pokémon

By Robustion180

Chapter 1

Hello my name is Michael. I am a tall, average sized kid with curly brown hair. I usaually wear a coat vest, my glasses and pants. I'm just another student at a Pokémon Battling Academy. What? You don't know what that is? Ok, basically I'm in a school to learn about how Pokémon are properly used. If you ask me, I don't belong here. I already know how to use my Pokémon. The worst part is I don't even have a Pokémon yet. Well I do because my dad gave me a Trapinch (He's a Pokemon with four legs, a huge and a really sluggish speed.) for my birthday; I don't think ole Trapinch likes me that much though. Oh by the way I live on an island halfway between the Kanto and the Johto region and that's where I go to school. There are these kids who make fun of me for having a Trapinch and being "weak" because of it. Meet Nate; he's small has, large a nose and quite the ego. He was the leader of the kids who picked on me. He steals Pokémon and picks on kids like me.

One faithful day, my life changed; I found an Eevee, just walking along in the court yard of my school. It's small and brown with a poofy tail and huge ears, walking curiously on its four legs. As I swing on the swings, it glanced at me and I glanced at it. In a way, perhaps Eevee knew exactly how alone I felt that day. I look behind it to see Nate noticed it too. "Ha, an Eevee that's going to be a nice catch!" He threw his pokeball but this Eevee dodged and ran towards me. In desperation, I quickly got up, took out a spare poke ball, and threw it at Eevee. It tapped him on the head, opened with a flash and started the process of being caught. 1….2…..3 and I got him! I had caught my first Pokémon. I was about to celebrate when I remembered Nate was still there. Nate glared at me but then he shrugged it off.

"Alright weakling, hand over that Eevee and I won't have to hurt your cute little Trapinch."

"No I caught him fair and square. I won't let you have this Pokémon."

Nate just laughed in disbelief "Ha ha ha, flower boy here is trying to be a toughie?"

Then he became serious "Hey punk, didn't I tell you to hand that Eevee over?"

I decided to stick up for myself and this Pokémon. It wasn't right of him to even insist me to hand over a Pokémon that I had caught. I mustered my courage and said, "I'm done with you! All you do is talk. Talk about how I'm so weak. Now that I have a Pokémon I can rely on, I'm going to make you eat those words."

He sneered. "I'm going to enjoy watching you cry like a baby once I take that Eevee from you."

"Go Eevee!" Eevee let out an angry roar as I sent him out of his pokeball.

"Don't mess this up Rhyhorn." He sent out his Rhyhorn, a jagged looking rhinoceros pokemon with rocks coming out his back. Nate looked like he had the upper hand, but I had a strategy to beat him.

"Eevee, use sand attack now!" Rhyhorn got hit directly in the face with sand, decreasing his accuracy.

"Rhyhorn use horn attack!" Rhyhorn charged.

"Eevee dodge it and use bite on Rhyhorns legs." Eevee does exactly what I said causing Rhyhorn to collapse; Rhyhorn fainted.

"Stupid Rhyhorn! You suck, no dinner tonight. Go Bagon!" He sent out a skinny dragon pokemon with no wings but a hard head.

"Keep it up! Eevee use bite on Bagon."

Bagon flinched out of surprise from the sudden attack.

"Darn it! Stupid Eevee! Bagon, what are you doing? Take down his Eevee!" Bagon let out a sad cry. This bully had to be taught a lesson.

"Eevee, sneak in a quick attack!" Eevee rushed Bagon one more time. He seemed to grill a weak spot (Critical hit). Bagon fainted just like Rhyhorn, but this battle was quicker than ussual.

"No Bagon, Not you too!"

"Yeah! Your Eevee is awesome! Go Michael!" Others had gathered around and witnessed our battle. I looked down at my new partner and smiled. He smiled back.

"Now you've done it! It's time I sent out my new Pokémon so generously donated to me. Go Marill!"

Now I was angry. "You! You're the one who stole Marill from Marissa. She couldn't stop crying." This jerk stole Marissa's Marill. She had an unbeatable water Pokémon that looked kinda like a beach ball, but blue. This was until Nate robbed her of her ally. Marill looked scared and confused.

"Ahahaha the look on her face was priceless. I'd do it again if I could!"

"I'm going to end this NOW! Eevee take down!"

"Marill push him away with a water gun." Eevee launched at Marill with a full body tackle as he was pushed back by a jet of water.

"Alright Eevee, Lets try it again."

"Are you stupid? I'm only going push you back. Do it again, you low class Pokémon!"

"Now Eevee use sand attack before you hit Marill." Eevee stopped, and whipped up a cloud of sand with his hind legs. It clashed with Marill's water gun, making mud and canceling out both attacks.

"Nice job! Now use take down, Eevee!" Eevee got marill dead on this time. Marill finally had the nerve to water gun Nate in the face, causing him to drop Marills pokeball.

"Eevee, quick! Get that pokeball!" and Eevee did just that.

"HEY!" yelled Nate as soon as he realized what happened. I put Marill and Eevee back in their pokeballs.

"I will get you for this! That Marill is priceless! You may have won, shrimp, but I will take your stupid Pokémon. There better in the hands of a genius like me." he swore.

"A genius? What kind of a Pokémon genius insults their own Pokémon?" It felt good to mock my former bully.

"Later, loser," he said as he walked away, utterly humiliated in front of his underlings.

Now there was one more thing to do before I went home. I needed to get Marissa's Marill back to her. That battle I had with Nate was totally awesome. Think about it. That big ole thug Nate just got put in his place by what the kids refer to me as a "pip squeak". I finally found Marissa in the library. She had stopped crying, but was still looking depressed…

"Hey Marissa I've got good news."

"Did you find my poor Marill?" she asked

"Yeah here you are." I said

"OH MY GOD! Thank you so much!"

She sent out her Marill and they both cried…

I told Marissa everything that just happened in the court yard and how I finally found her in the library studying. Before I walked away she said, "wait!"

And then she told me "Listen, Marill wants to be your Pokémon. You know, to prevent things like that from happening again. Besides, she really wants to be your friend. I know I love Marill, but I really think she would happier with you. You two can grow strong and Marill can live out her dream to be the best. She's really dedicated, aren't you Marill?" Marill gave me a smile in approval.

"Alright. Thank you!"

"No, thank you. Take care of Marill!"

"I'll make sure of it."

It was time for me to head home. Little did I know, there was going to be one heck of a storm as soon as I got home. My dad didn't exactly like the idea of me having multiple Pokémon since I could barely keep my Trapinch happy. Yet, you know, I have always dreamed of going on an adventure with my two best friends, Kyle and Jason.
