So I hope you guys are liking my story so far. I've been having this idea in my head for a while now. I think I'm going to write a story for each region, this might turn into a romance later on like in the hoenn or sinnoh region probably. If you guys want her to hook up with a gym leader later on then I will take it into consideration and try to make it happen. So I hope you guys review and enjoy. ;D
Chptr 2: Off To the Gym
It has been exactly six days since I've said good-bye to Pikachu. I've passed through Viridian City and checked out the gym. It was really impressive I couldn't wait to challenge it and win an Earth Badge. But right now I'm camping out in the forest, training both my pokemon getting ready for our first real gym battle. I know that the Pewter City gym is a rock type. Which means that Pikachu has to get her iron tail ready. While also having both off them practice their speed prepared to dodge. I know that Growlithe's fire type attacks won't do so much damage. But I just hope he'll be able to tire Brock's pokemon out, yes I know who the gym leader is. You see unlike most trainer's who have no clue who the leader is. I actually take the time to find out who the gym leader is. That way I don't waste time trying to figure out who it is.
Since I've camped out here in the woods I havn't seen any fire or electric pokemon. So far I've only seen Rattata, Pidgey, a couple Pidgeotto, a flock of Spearow. Along with Caterpie and Weedle, yet nothing has crossed my path. I guess I'll just have to wait to travel to another place and find atleast a decent fire or electric pokemon to catch. Even though I'm bummed about not catching a new pokemon I was still eager for today I was finally going to challenge the gym.
Pewter City was pretty decent, the mountains appear to fit in well with the city. There weren't too many buildings that it seemed too crowded. Yet there was still a decent amount of log cabens that made it seem more like a village than a city. I immediately spotted the Pokemon Center and decided to let my pokemon rest up before heading on over to the gym. As I sat on a bench against the wall I looked towards the phones and debated on calling home. Should I or should I call after I won a badge. I was pretty sure my mom was worried that I havn't called yet, but I was sure my uncle Blaine has calmed her nerves. I heard the doors open and Nurse Joy walking towards me with my pokeballs. Looks like I'm headed to the gym first.
After thanking Nurse Joy I stepped out of the Pokemon Center and walked toward the gym. As I stood infront of the gym it appeared to be built out of solid rock. I was amazed the door wasn't rock as well. As I stepped in a noticed a guy who seemed a year or two older than me. He had brown spiked hair, his skin was tanned. He was wearing brown pants, with a brown belt, an orange shirt and a green best. I then noticed the guy I was staring at was Brock. I stepped up to him with a confident stride. Not once did I stutter in my walk.
" Hello your Brock the gym leader aren't you?" I inquired.
" Yes I am and I would think your another challenger. If so please come step on to the battle field." Brock responded. He then lead me to room where the battle field was. There seemed to be medium sized boulders and smaller rocks, to make it look like a path in the mountain.
" This will be a two on two pokemon battle. When both of either sides pokemon are unable to battle the match will be over. Now Onix let's go!" Brock explained the rules before summoning his pokemon. Onix came out on the battle field looking ready to put up a tough fight.
" That's fine by me. My name is Jordan by the way, alright then Pikachu battle dance." I introduced myself. Pikachu appeared on the battle field. She didn't seem the least bit intimedated by the rock snake pokemon.
" Your choosing to use an electric type against my rock type. You sure you don't want to use a different pokemon your Pikachu isn't a good match up." Brock adviced.
" It takes more to win a battle than choosing the right type. It takes wisdom." I sent back at him using my uncle Blaine's famous words.
"Alright then Pikachu let's start of with agility." I figured that if we start off with speed we could get the upper hand. After all that Onix didn't look all that fast.
" Onix let's stop them with rock smash" Brock then commanded. Onix then began to use its tail to hit against the battle field in a attemp to stop Pikachu's movement.
" Alright Pikachu jump on to Onix." I avoided onix's tail as it smacked against the ground. She the jumped on its tail and easily climbed her way to Onix's head.
" Quick Onix shake it off" Brock seemed a bit shaken with how well Pikachu was managing to avoid all of Onix's attacks.
" Pikachu let's end this with iron tail." I informed her.
Pikachu proceded to then jump off Onix's head and into the air. Her tail began to glow and she used it as a knife to cut throught the air and made an acurate hit on Onix's head and soon Onix fell and was unable to battle.
" What no way your Pikachu could be that strong." Brock breathed in astonishment.
I looked down at Pikachu and figured she could go one more round. After all if she managed to hold her own against Onix, then she can handle Brock's next pokemon. I then looked back up prepared to face Brock'e last pokemon.
" Help me out Geodude." Brock yelled. I knew that physical attacks like tackle and quick attack wouldn't cause Geodude much damage. I also couldn't use any electric type attacks. The only thing I could do is use iron tail.
"Geodude tackle attack" Brock yelled.
" Get ready to use iron tail Pikachu." I whispered loud enough for only her to hear.
While still keeping a sharp eye on Geodude's movement and nodding to comfirm she understood. Geodude was less than a foot away. I wanted Pikachu to dodge at the very last second. I awaited till it looked that Geodude was less than a couple inches away. Pikachu hid her tail from view and it glowed awaiting to strike.
" Now Pikachu!" I commanded. Pikachu then turn on her front paws, before turning her body in a 360 to dodge and brought down her tail on Geodude's head. She then jumped back to get ready to launch another attack. Geodude got back up after rolling back from the impact.
" Hang in there Geodude and use tackle attack once more." Brock pleaded.
" Pikachu let's use double team." I said. Pikachu then enclosed Geodude in circle made out of her clones. Geodude kept on looking out trying to spot the real Pikachu, while awaiting for Brock's next command.
" Geodude blow them all away with sandstorm." Brock yelled. Geodude then crossed his arms and floated up higher. As a strong sandstorm blew across the field.
I had to squint my eyes to be able to keep a close eye on the battle. But it was proving to be a difficult task, the wind grew harsher. " Pikachu blow the sandstorm away with discharge." I yelled over the wind.
The sandstorm was then immediately stopped as the discharge took over the whole field. I took the time to check out where Geodude was, and he was standing a short distance away from Pikachu.
" Agility and right into iron tail." I told Pikachu once she stopped using discharge. She then ran towards Geodude doing a flip in the air and into an iron tail . Geodude fell back and was unable to battle. I breathed a sigh of relief and return Pikachu into her ball. I met Brock half way on the battle field.
"Congrats I would have never thought to use an electric type like that. It's obvious that you know how to handle your pokemon, when you're at a disadvantage." Brock complimented me.
" Thanks, I have to say your Geodude has an awesome sandstorm. It was hard to see anything passed it." I complimented back.
" Thank you here as proof that you beat the Pewter gym, here is the Boulder badge." He proclaimed as he gave a badge that was grey and shaped as an octagon.
" Thanks again Brock." I thanked him as I took the badge from him. I said my good-bye and headed to the Pokemon Center to heal Pikachu.
" Hello how may I help you?" greeted Nurse Joy.
" Hi Nurse Joy could you look at over my pokemon please?" I requested.
" I'd be happy to, did you just come from the gym or were you trainning?" she asked.
" We'll I just came from the gym and won." I told her.
" Congrats have you already registered for the pokemon league.?" Nurse Joy questioned.
" No I havn't I guess I was too focused on actually earning my badges." I giggled lightly.
" I could register you now If you would like." she informed me.
" Yes please, Nurse joy where can register to enter contests?" I inquired.
" If you want I can set you up for a contest pass, and a ribbon case." she informed me.
" Yeah that would be great!" I said excited.
" Very well first let me take a look at your pokemon and I'll get you all set up." she said as she walked away.
I walked away from the front desk, heading to sit on a bench. When I remembered that I still havn't called my mom. I should probably also call Proffesor Oak and ask about Pikachu I thought. I sure hope he got a good trainer. He deserved somebody kind hearted and strong willed. I walked toward the phone and decided to call my mom first. I just hope she doesn't keep me long on the phone with wanting to know every single detail of my journey so far.
I awaited as the call went through, till I saw my mom's face pop out. Man she had so much worry on her face I was amazed she wasn't in tears still. I waited to see if she would start yelling but luckily she didn't.
" Hi mom how are you, how's uncle Blaine doing?" I asked.
" Oh honey I'm so glad you finally called, I was worried something had happened to you. But your uncle kept on telling me that you were probably camping in the woods or not near a phone to call. He is doing alright he's not here at the moment but I'll tell him you called and asked for him. So tell me have won a badge yet or did you not challenge a gym yet?" She asked.
" Actually mom I just got done challenging the Pewter City gym and won check it out." I told her as I showed her my badge." Right now I'm waiting for Nurse Joy to finish healing my pokemon so she can register me for the Pokemon League, and to give me a contest pass."
" Honey that's great, but I thought you were only entering the Pokemon League?" she questioned.
" I'm going to do both you see this year the Kanto Grand Festival is going to be after the Pokemon League. I decided that if I entered contest then I could train my pokemon in a whole new way. So when I compete in the Pokemon League they wouldn't expect it." I explained.
" I see, have you caught any new pokemon yet?" she then asked.
" Sadly no, I havn't run into any fire or electric pokemon. I still only have Growlithe and Pikachu." I sighed.
" Well chin up, I'm sure you'll catch something." She said trying to cheer me up.
" I guess your right thanks mom, I when I get to Cerulean City. I need to call Proffesor Oak." I informed her.
" What for?" asked my mom.
" Well you see after I got my pokedex the Proffesor introduced me to a Pikachu and we became friends. I promised him that we would see each other, after his trainer picked him up." I explained to her.
" Alright I understand, I'll be waiting here for you to call then." she said before we hung up. I then dialed the Proffesor's number and waited for him to pick up. It didn't take long for the Proffesor's face to pop up on the screen.
" Well hello there Jordan, what can I do for you today?" greeted Proffesor Oak.
" Hello Proffesor I just called to ask about Pikachu. Did a trainer take him, or is he still in the lab with you?" I asked biting my lower lip.
" I see , well Pikachu did get taken by a new trainer. His name was Ash and he was a begining trainer who is also one of Gary's childhood rivals. Ash came by a short while after you left. You don't have to worry Jordan I would think that Ash would treat Pikachu just fine." the Proffesor informed me.
" Thanks so much Proffesor I 've been wondering about Pikachu for a while now. I'm glad that he is with someone who can look after him, I can't wait to see him again and to meat Ash." I said. After answering a few questions from the Proffesor I then said good-bye to him and hung up. Right when I stood up Nurse joy came back with my pokeballs.
" All done your pokemon are all fine. Now let's get you registered." She said walking behind her desk as I followed her back to the front desk.
MEANWHILE SOMEWHERE ELSE
PIKACHU POV
For the last couple of days I have been traveling with my new trainer Ash, and this girl called Misty. So far we have been attacked by Spearow and I nearly got kidnapped by these thieves known as Team Rocket. Luckily with the help from other Pikachu that were in the Pokemon Center, helped me in defeating them. I started to trust Ash more and we started to become friends.
But one thing I know for sure is that I won't forget Jordan. I've been hoping to run into her after leaving the lab. Which is why I stayed out of my pokeball I didn't want to miss the chance of seeing her. That and she was right I did still kinda hold a grudge against the Proffesor for catching me.
Yet I havn't caught sight of her I was hoping that now that we were leaving the Pokemon Center that I'd be able to see her. No luck so far though. I guess she's more ahead than us. I just have to be patient I know I'll see her again, I just know it.
" Hey Pikachu you okay there you seem to be kinda tense." Ash asked.
I looked at him and waved him off with a light laugh. So he wouldn't worry, he'll find out about Jordan soon enough. Once I see her again that is I thought with a little longing .
