Pokémon: Legends Are Born

Chapter 2: Showdown at Mt Moon

Disclaimer I do not own Pokémon or any of the original characters

The early morning sun pierced the interior of the Pokémon center. Jason rubbed his eyes, stretching out he bumped into his new companion, Kelly.

"Sorry."

Kelly let out a groggy moan

"5 more minutes….."

Kelly shifted and knocked Jason off the bench. Jason rubbed his head when he saw the eggs tumble. He quickly slid forward and caught them. He roared

"KELLY! Get up!"

Kelly got up with a start. Seeing the expression of Jason's face and the eggs in his arms she knew she had done something bad.

"Oh sorry Jason…."

She left the room, clothes in her arms. Once in the shower area she disrobed her bedclothes. She walked over and turned the water on. Feeling it cascade down her body, Kelly furrowed her brow. Jason had gotten her thinking. She had never seen someone with such Strong Pokémon, and not realize it.

"I just don't understand why he doesn't catch more Pokémon…."

Kelly wasn't really one to talk, she really had one Pokémon she used often, and her other two, were fish.

Meanwhile Jason was waiting for Kelly to be done when something caught his eye. He saw something sleeping against a tree outside. It was an Abra. Jason had dreamed of this moment for a long while.

"Yes…."

Taking out Miltank's pokeball, he tossed it lightly, saying.

"Miltank use Iron tail."

The cow rushed forward, tail glowing. It nearly hit the creature but the creature vanished and reappeared behind the cow. Jason yelled

"Tackle!"

The cow rushed and hit the ground as the Abra appeared higher in the tree. Jason growled.

"Miltank finish this with Ice beam!"

A cold beam shot out of Miltank's mouth and hit the Abra, freezing it. Jason reached quick, throwing a free pokeball at Abra forcing it inside. It hit the ground and shook for a couple seconds and dinged. Jason cradled the ball and hurried to the nurse's station. Kelly was all dressed when she saw Jason rush in. Startled she yelled.

"WHOA cowboy what's so exciting?"

Jason smiled as he whispered to the nurse. Turning he showed his wide grin.

"I caught an Abra."

Kelly tried to show enthusiasm, but she made a slight smile.

"Ok…."

Jason laughed

"I have always dreamed of training to get an Alakazam."

He was so excited, spinning with joy. The nurse returned with the ball which Jason took thanking her. Jason smiled saying.

"Well Kelly let's be off."

The two walked out of the Pokémon center. Walking on the trail they got to the area near the gym when they found their path blocked by a gruffly old man. The man looked up at the teens and barked.

"Go away you kids!"

Kelly smiled sweetly

"Please let us past"

"Beat it baby cakes!"

Kelly got so mad; Jason had to hold her back. The old man just sat there unmoving. Jason stood defiant.

"Let us past old man."

"No punk!"

Jason growled

"I will battle you to get past."

The old man got up, pokeball in hand.

"It will be a one on one battle." Jason threw a pokeball and out came Abra. The old man laughed.

"Haha your Abra can't do anything!"

Jason smiled

"You scared?"

The man yelled

"Beedrill come out and use Twineedle attack!"

The bee jabbed at Abra missing every shot. Jason smiled and yelled

"Abra…thunder wave!"

Electricity hit the bee and the old man. Both paralyzed Jason returned Abra and grabbed Kelly bolting laughing.

"Later old man!"

The two hurried to the forest Jason laughed.

"Well that was interesting."

Kelly smiled

"That was clever of you, teaching Abra Thunder wave. It helped us outta that jam."

They ran as fast as they could through the forest. They smiled when they reached the sun. Jason and Kelly's stomach's grumbled.

"Yeah...let's go eat"

They said in unison. They walked past the sign for Pewter city and into the nearest restaurant. Outside the Museum a man stood in a lab coat. Cigarette in hand, he exhaled and sighed.

"They don't pay me enough to do this crap."

Damian was an interesting character. He had spent the last six years as a researcher for Team Rocket. Over all he found his job boring. He strived his whole life to discovering fossils and going to Cinnabar Island to study them but, he knew this group would help him out. Plus they paid well. This day he was to rob the Museum behind him of a slab of Old Amber. He wasn't sure why he had to steal it but it was what the boss asked him to do. Plus they were paying him double. He walked in throwing down the cig, pokeball ready.

Exiting the restaurant, Kelly and Jason sighed happily. Kelly stretched.

"That was some good food."

Jason nodded when he heard the sirens as police cars went past. Kelly and Jason followed behind them, arriving at the Museum. Officer Jenny right on the scene, Jason walked up and asked.

"What happened?"

Jenny sighed.

"Some guy in a lab coat surprise attacked the museum and made off with a slab of Old Amber. We think he went towards Mt Moon, but the trail is too blocked for our cars and our Pokémon can't get there fast enough."

Jason looked at Jenny.

"Well why don't you let us go after him? My Tauros is strong and fast."

Jenny smiled

"You would be doing the city a great service. Go out and bring that man to justice!"

Jason released and mounted Tauros. Looking at Kelly, Jason smiled and said.

"Hop on or that thief will get away."

Kelly hopped on and clung to Jason as they rushed off in a flash. The beating of Tauros' hooves shook the ground, kicking up dirt. Soon Jason saw the blockade and Jason yelled

"Tauros jump over those boulders!"

With ease Tauros hopped from boulder to boulder, and quickly landed on the entrance to the cave that was a part of Mt Moon. Jason hopped down and helped Kelly down quickly. Then returning Tauros, Jason ran into the cave.

"We have to hurry or that thief will get away."

Running in Jason and Kelly walked for a while searching for a place where the thief could be. They got in deep the mountain in no time. Not far away Damian was sitting against his two Zubat fluttering about.

"Damnit I am bored."

Damian's Arbok was sleeping when there was a shake. Something shook the cave. Damian looked up and saw Jason. Scoffing he growled.

"What are you looking at?"

Jason was slightly tired from running, he said quickly.

"Hey are you the one who stole the old Amber?"

Damian rolled his eyes

"What's it to you?"

Jason growled

"You stole that…it isn't yours! Give it back you bastard!"

Damian started to walk away.

"Make me bitch."

Jason yelled throwing a pokeball

"Miltank use Iron tail!"

Damian smiled and yelled

"Arbok Sludgebomb!"

The Snake shot a sludge bomb at the cow knocking it back. It was strong so it wasn't much strength left. Jason release Tauros and Abra.

"Tauros Tackle! Abra Thunder wave!"

The creatures hit Arbok and the Zubat. Suddenly the two new fossils were revealed Damian grabbed them and yelled

"Earthquake Arbok!"

The snake shook the cave Miltank and Tauros fainted. Damian returned his Pokémon and ran out of the cave. Kelly got to the area just in time and before the cave in Abra teleported them outside of the cave. Sadly Jason watched as Damian made off with now three fossils. He sunk low when he saw a Jigglypuff. He told Abra

"Thunder wave!"

The puffball couldn't move and Jason threw a pokeball and caught it. But then it escaped. Mad he yelled

"Abra use Shock wave!"

Electricity hit the Puff when Jason tried again and this time with success. Kelly hugged him as he got the ball.

"You know I caught a Clefairy while you were running."

He sighed as they walked towards the city. Kelly patted his shoulder.

"Don't be so hard on yourself…he was tough there was nothing you could do. You tried your best…you will beat him next time. We haven't seen the last of that jerk."

Jason felt better. In no time they made it to the Pokémon center in Cerulean city, ready to begin the next chapter of there Adventure.
