For those of you reading this chapter, I'll be making moves such as tail whip actually damage others. I may choose to make others damage too. All thoughts are italicized and the pokedex talk in underlined. Have fun reading.
Master's Chronicles Part 1: Kanto
Chapter 2
First Catch
Jere and Charmander were walking along route 1. Jere was ecstatic about getting his Charmander still and was looking forward to catching a pokemon. He would normally keep Charmander in his ball but since it was a nice day and he wanted company he let him out for a stroll. "Charmander, what do you think about trying to catch a pokemon for ourselves?"
"Char!" he said in a happy tone
"Alright let's go find a pokemon!"
They ran around looking for wild pokemon. They spotted a Pidgey after what seemed like an hour of searching.
"Charmander use scratch!" shouted Jere. The Pidgey jumped and dodged it. "Hurry use another scratch before he gets away!" Charmander jumped up and hit Pidgey in the back when he just started to fly away. The Pidgey got up, not ready to give up. He flew up into the air, in the view where the sunlight blinded us from seeing him. He dove in and hit Charmander with a peck. Charmander got up ready to beat this Pidgey. "Charmander, scratch!" Charmander ran at the Pidgey. The Pidgey jumped up and quickly used a gust attack knocking Charmander into a rock. Then the Pidgey flew at him full speed for another peck attack. "Charmander, tail whip!" Charmander quickly spun around and smacked Pidgey in the head, knocking him out.
"Alright! Way to go Charmander! We are the Best! We're Invincible!" Jere kept on shouting phrases like that not even thinking about the Pidgey he still hadn't caught.
"Char! Charmander!" Charmander shouted out pointing at the Pidgey, "Chaaaarrrr!!"
"Oh that's right, I still have to throw a pokeball at it!" yelled Jere as he frantically searched for a pokeball to throw. When he finally found one it was too late. The Pidgey had flown away.
"NO! Charmander that could've been our newest friend!" said Jere in disappointment, "I'm sorry buddy." He sat on the ground thinking that he's a failure. Charmander came over to Jere to comfort him. He patted on his shoulder. He said in a soft gentle voice, "chaaar, charmander" Jere thought to himself for a minute. Man, what am I getting upset about?!? There's lots more pokemon out there for me to catch. I'm not gonna be sad, I'm not going to let Charmander think that I'm like this.
"Charmander, lets go!" Jere shouted while standing up.
"Charmander" he replied in a happy tone.
They kept on walking and they found a sign saying, "Viridian City, 1 mile" Jere checked in his pokedex about the city. Viridian City, last stop before Viridian Forest. It also has a pokemon gym. Many trainers visit this city as a pit stop before making their way to the Indigo Plateau for the Pokemon League.
Jere ignored most of what it said after he heard gym. "All right Charmander! Did you hear that?!? We're almost at our first gym battle! I hope you're ready."
"Char!" answered Charmander, getting pumped about it too.
They started walking toward Viridian. Enjoying the sun, they walked happily and no wild pokemon came out and approached them. When the buildings of the city started to appear in the distance, they became excited and started to run towards Viridian. Then a Bellsprout popped out. Since Jere hadn't known much about Bellsprout he pulled out his pokedex. Bellsprout, Grass Type. This pokemon is shaped like a root at its body with a bell plant for a head. It also has 2 leaves acting as arms and hands. It is not known for appearing out in the open much, but there are a few that are gutsy and want to fight.
"Yes, another wild pokemon!" shouted Jere. "Charmander are you ready for this one?"
"Char!" Shouted Charmander, looking ready to beat this one.
"Ok! Go Charmander, use scratch!" Charmander charged at the Bellsprout. It dodged his attack and used vine whip to hold onto Charmander. "Charmander, dodge it! Hurry!" It was too late. The vines caught Charmander and held him there. While he was still being held, Bellsprout used razor leaf and continuously hit Charmander. "Charmander you gotta brake free from its hold!" Charmander heard his master's voice and broke free. "Run at it again and use scratch!" Charmander charged at it again and Bellsprout started to use vine whip again. "Ok, now jump!" Charmander jumped and the vines followed. "Hurry, use tail whip to block the vines!" Charmander used his tail to hit the vines away and was still flying towards Bellsprout. "Now use scratch hurry!" Charmander got close enough and hit it with a scratch. It wasn't over yet. The Bellsprout got up and used razor leaf and immediately followed with a vine whip. "Charmander, dodge it!" It was too late again. The vines wrapped around Charmander and he couldn't' move at all. The Bellsprout had used a bind on Charmander. When it looked as if Charmander was about to faint, he opened his mouth and shot out an ember attack. The Bellsprout was hit and fell to the ground, it had fainted.
This time Jere knew what he was doing, and he threw a pokeball at the fainted pokemon. It hit and sucked in Bellsprout and fell to the ground. It started shaking. Once, twice, three times and then a ding. Jere had caught his first pokemon!
"YES!" He shouted as loud as possible, "Charmander, we did it! We really are the best!" Jere ran over to his pokeball and let Bellsprout out.
"Hey there Bellsprout!" he said, "Are you happy to be with us on our journey?"
"Bell!" answered the Bellsprout in an excited tone.
"Ok, let's go to Viridian!"
After they finally arrived at the city, Jere went to the Pokecenter to rent a room for the night and to leave his pokemon there to rest. After that, he went out to go see what was happening in town. He went around and bought a few potions and antidotes from stalls along the roads. When he spotted the gym he ran over to it, only to be disappointed though. There was a sign on it saying, "Gym closed for remodeling. Opens in a couple of months. Sorry for the inconvenience."
"Darn! Well, there are more gyms out there. We'll soon find one that is open." Jere said to himself. I should head back to the pokecenter and call Oak and Mom. I might as well ask Nurse Joy about the forest ahead of here.
Jere went back to the center. He checked up on his pokemon and they were already fully healed! He took them back from Joy and asked her, "What do you know about Viridian Forest? Because I'm heading there tomorrow."
"Oh!" She said, "Well it's a very tricky place to get through. Stay on the path if you don't want to get lost. The only bad thing about that are the trainers in there that battle anyone, they usually wait by the path. If you're looking to catch bug pokemon, then that forest is perfect for you. It's full of Weedle and Caterpie."
"Thanks Joy!" Jere said. He already decided a long time ago he wanted a Butterfree, he was gonna catch a Caterpie tomorrow.
Jere went over to the video phone and called Oak, he explained to him about the Pidgey and the Bellsprout. He also said how Charmander learned ember and that the Viridian gym is closed. "Oak, tomorrow I'm heading out for Viridian forest."
"Oh my," Oak said, "just hearing that name again brings back memories. But we've no time for me to reminisce on my past. Jere, it's getting late, I'm going to go now. You should get some rest, since tomorrow you're leaving."
"I will Oak, but I have one favor to ask you." Said Jere.
"What is it?"
"Can you tell my mom not to worry and I made it to Viridian easily. Tell I'm heading off to go through Viridian Forest too."
"No problem Jere, good luck and good bye."
"Bye Professor."
Jere went up to his room and let out his pokemon. They both found spots to sleep at and quickly fell asleep. Jere laid down and thought about the forest. I'm so going to catch a Caterpie tomorrow. After that, I'm heading to that city I saw on the map downstairs. Pewter City. I hope you have a gym there, because I'm going to win and I'm gonna be the best there is. He fell asleep after pondering over winning a gym battle and going through the forest for an hour.
There was Chapter 2, I hope you like it. If it's still to short tell me. I'll try to make the next one longer. Also plz put any comments/criticisms and any tips on improving my writing.
Btw I've still got 2 spots open for me to add people. If you've forgotten the details about the characters for my story, look back at the end of Chapter 1.
I'll update later after I get another review or two.
