I've said before, and I'm probably going to say this a lot more, I don't own Pokémon.
Aidan and I raced off laughing together as we headed into Route One, where a man carrying something abruptly stopped us.
"Hey there, would you each like a free potion? They can help restore your Pokémon's health a bit," the man said.
"Oh, thank you!" I said, praising the man for his kindness.
I hummed the Route One music I had heard many times on the radio at home and wondered if I would be able to play the music on my PokéNav. I pulled out my PokéNav and searched for music. However I ended up finding the location feature. I showed it to Aidan. It showed our location on the screen, and down below it read a description: "A country road full of greenery and rough paths."
"Huh, that's cool," replied Aidan.
We then continued along the path that would bring them to Viridian City, when all of a sudden we heard a shout, and then a Pokémon crash into a tree. A Pokémon fell out, and Aidan and I ran over to find out what was going on. A trainer who was wearing a hood was telling a Pokémon to use some move called Headbutt on a tree. All of a sudden, a Pokémon fell out of the tree.
It had six yellow and green striped legs, red pincers at its mouth, and was a light shade of green with a darker shade of green forming a face on its back.
All of a sudden the trainer sighed and returned his Pokémon. My Pokédex had identified it as Marowak, and said that it had overcome the loss of its mother and that its spirit was hard to break. The trainer walked away from the tree, and headed towards the entrance to Pallet Town. The trainer was kind of mysterious and I thought that it was a pretty deep Pokédex entry, but decided to just go along with it and scan the other Pokémon that had fallen out of the tree. My Pokédex identified that it was the Pokémon Spinarak, and that it could tell what Pokémon was touching its web just by the vibrations of it. I thought that it was extremely cool that it could do that.
Aidan asked me "Hey, do you want to catch it?"
I was started by this question and replied to Aidan by asking him, "Why don't you catch it? It could certainly help you in battles, and if you're using a water type against it, that would give you a advantage in catching it."
Aidan smiled, nodded, and then thanked me.
He threw out the Pokéball that contained Squirtle and then threw it into the air.
"Come on out Squirtle!" Aidan said. "Squirtle use Tail Whip!"
Squirtle then whipped its tail but I didn't notice anything happen, so I decided to scan Squirtle using my PokéDex. It said that Tail Whip lowered the opponent's defense. Aidan then commanded Squirtle to use a move called Tackle. I could figure out that Tackle was a physical move just by watching, and the description on the move and from studying Pokémon from when I was young.
Spinarak was then hit by the tackle and nearly fainted but couldn't regain its balance. Aidan then grabbed one of the Pokéballs that we had received from the professor and threw it at Spinarak, which was then hit by the Pokéball and a red beam of light absorbed it into the Pokéball. The Pokéball then shook a few times and then it stopped and the button flashed red a few times.
"Yes!" Aidan said excitedly. That was the first time that either of us had actually captured a Pokémon.
"Hey Aidan, it's pretty cool that you have a Spinarak because the only way you can catch it is if something uses headbutt on a tree and it falls out. They're pretty rare too."
Aidan smiled and we continued walking towards the exit of the route. We winded our way down the route and towards the exit into Viridian City. I had scanned a few Pidgeys with my PokéDex before we left the route, but didn't catch any new Pokémon. Aidan and I had also battled a few wild Pokémon and had beaten them, just to help train our Pokémon for the upcoming gym.
We walked into Viridian City and I decided to see what information we would get from my PokéNav. It read "A beautiful city that is enveloped in green year-round." It also gave us a map of the place and we headed towards the Pokémon center to heal our Pokémon that had been damaged by the wild Pokémon, since Charmander was looking pretty weak after all of those battles. We headed inside and walked up to the front desk.
"Hi, I'm Nurse Joy. Welcome to the PokéCenter! Would you like me to heal your Pokémon?" We both nodded and placed our Pokéballs on the counter. She took them and put them on some sort of machine. We sat down and talked about what we wanted to do while we were here. Both of us agreed that we wanted to battle the Gym Leader and maybe train some more on Route One. We heard a bell ring and then went up to collect our healed Pokémon from the front desk.
We ate our lunch and then asked Nurse Joy about the Gym Leader here.
She then told us that the Gym Leader wasn't here right now and that he was barely ever at the gym. I was a little bit frustrated because what's the point in being a gym leader if you're never at your gym?
We heard shouting outside and ran out to see what was going on. We saw two people with a couple Pokémon ordering people to hand over their Pokémon to them.
"Hey! You can't do that, those are their Pokémon!" Aidan shouted.
"Oh really?" said a man with blue hair in a black uniform with a red "R" on the front of his shirt.
They went on to chant something that went like, " To protect the world from devastation. To unite the people within our nation!" Or something like that. But then the Meowth talked.
"Meowth can talk!?" Aidan said in disbelief.
Meowth said, "Yeah, what do you think I just did? Now hand over your Pokémon and there won't be any trouble!"
I refused, and Aidan and I tossed out our Pokémon, which caused one of the people to toss out a Koffing, and the other to order Meowth to battle.
"Squirtle use Rapid Spin!" Aidan told Squirtle, which made Squirtle start spinning and slam into Meowth. I then had an idea. It would be risky but it was worth a shot.
"Charmander, use Smokescreen! Now use Ember on the Smokescreen!" I told Charmander. A huge explosion then happened, and we saw the people fly into the air and scream, "Team Rockets blasting off again!" We then returned our Pokémon before being bombarded with people thanking us. We decided to call it a day and went back to PokéCenter to rest for the day after having Nurse Joy heal our Pokémon.
