2 First Steps
We all walked to the beginning of Route 1. Chloe pointed at the flock Pidgey flying above us. "I want one of those they look so pretty." "Yeah they look cool. Ok let's start heading to Viridian City." We started walking when I noticed movement in the bushes.
A small purple rat walked out. It was nibbling on an apple. I pulled out my Pokedex and scanned it. The machine lit up.
"Rattata the Mouse Pokémon. Rattata is cautious to the extreme. Even while asleep, it constantly listens by moving its ears around."
"Are you ready buddy? This will be our first battle. Squirtle use tackle." Squirtle charged at the Rattata. The small creature saw what was happening and jumped out of the way. It ran at Squirtle and bit him on the arm.
He writhed in pain as the creatures teeth sank into his arm. "No, Squirtle us headbutt." Squirtle slammed his head onto the Rattata's back forcing it to release its grip on Squirtle. "Squirtle us tackle again." He ran at the creature again but this time it hit. It flew through the air hitting its head on a tree.
Chloe had moved out of the way while I was battling so she wouldn't get hurt. I saw her waving her arms at me. "Catch it, it's so cute catch it." I pulled an empty pokeball out of my pocket. I pressed the button on the front of it and it grew from its small form to the normal size. I through it at the Rattata.
As soon as the pokeball hit it, the red and white device opened. The Rattata turned into a red beam that was sucked into the pokeball. It closed on the Pokémon. The pokeball shook.
Once,
Twice,
Three times.
Pop!
Than it stopped shacking. I walked over to it and picked it up.
"Cool I just caught a Rattata." I looked at Squirtle and held out the pokeball for him. "Look buddy we just got a new friend, I hope you two get along." I tossed Rattata's pokeball into the air and he came out. He came out in a flash of light. He looked up at me and I thought I could see him attempt to smile.
I reached down and pet him. "Aw, you're so cute I hope you and me will be great friends." I returned Rattata to its pokeball. And I stuck it in my pocket. Chloe walked over to where I was. "Congratulations Scott on catching your first Pokémon. I hope my first Pokémon that I catch will be as cute as yours."
We started walking further through the tall grass of Route 1 when a man in a Pokemart outfit was standing in the middle of the road. He looked at us and smiled. "Would you two like some free samples of potion?" We both shook our heads. "Shore that would be cool." He handed each of us a blue spray bottle.
"Why don't you let Bulbasaur out to walk with us." I asked Chloe. "That is a great idea." She agreed releasing Bulbasaur. "Your going to be walking with us." She said to the small bulb pokemon. Bulbasaur smiled as it breathed in the fresh air.
Flocks of Pidgey were flying above our heads as the midday sun beat down on us. We talked about what Pokémon we would want to catch next on our journey. Chloe and I looked around in wonder at the amusingness of the wilderness. We were so distracted that we ran into a tree.
We stood up unscathed. Squirtle jumped around happily until he looked up and almost wet his shell.
A loud buzzing sound came from the tree. We backed up as a swarm of bees flew from the tree. I scanned it.
" Beedrill the Poison Bee Pokémon, Beedrill is extremely territorial. No one should ever approach its nest-this is for their own safety. If angered, they will attack in a furious swarm
They looked really mad. I could just hardly see Viridian City in the distance. We ran for our lives towards the city as the Pokémon chased after us.
It felt like forever before we made it to town. As we got closer and closer to the Pokémon Center more and more people ran for cover. The doors closed just before we could get in. We turned to face curtain doom when we heard someone. "Go Charmander, use ember on those Beedrill."
"I know most people don't get Rattata but I wanted to shake it up. What pokemon shall be caught next. Will new friends join this small group. You will have to find out next time."
