Chapter 2
I do not own pokemon, but do own Kyle.
The nidoran male walked up to Kyle and nodded giving the signal that he wanted to go with him on his journey. The nidoran female was a little bit hesitant but decided that anyone that was able to care for a wild pokemon that was hurt and take them to a pokemon center couldn't be all that bad. She did the same thing as her brother and nodded to Kyle. "Great how about I called you (nidoran male) spike and your name can be Jessamine. How does that sound you too?" Kyle asked his new pokemon. They both danced around making squeaks and squeals showing Kyle that they like their new names. Kyle walked back up to the entrance of Goldenrod City to the trainer that challenged him to a pokemon battle. "Hi my name is Kyle O'Neal and I will accept your challenge to a pokemon battle!" Kyle introduced himself to her.
"My name is Kim Davenport! Nice to meet you! How about a three on three pokemon battle, does that work for you or did you release your those two nidoran?" Kim asked.
"That is fine and I do have three pokemon! Go Paine!" Kyle yelled as he released his first pokemon, croagunk.
"Good to hear, go Penelope!" Kim answered back as she released her vulpix," Penelope start off with ember and then tackle!"
"Paine block ember with mud-slap and then hit her with poison sting!" Kyle called out. Penelope blast out a burst of ember and charged toward Paine, but Paine swiped some mud and slapped it to the ember and then started to fire off poison sting that managed to poison the vulpix.
"Penelope try to use roar to distract him and then use tackle again!" Kim called out to her vulpix as she stumbled back up. Vulpix immediately began to cry out using roar and then charged at the distracted croagunk. Paine was sent flying and then skidded to a stop on his feet after landed.
"Paine, ok! I think that a combination of mud-slap and poison sting will finish her off!" Kyle exclaimed. Paine immediately started slinging mud toward Penelope while simultaneously firing off poison sting. The combination of the attacks finally knocked her vulpix out and forced Kim to recall her injured pokemon. "Here Kim you can have this antidote to cure that poison status effect!" Kyle said while handing her an antidote.
"Thank you! Ok here is my next pokemon, Peach!" She called out while releasing her eevee," You can beat any of his pokemon!"
"Ok, Paine that was a great job! Return! I choose Spike!" Kyle said as he recalled Paine and sent out his nidoran male," Spike start out with leer and then a peck attack!"
"Peach use growl and then tackle!" Kim instructed her eevee. Spike started giving eevee an intimidating leer and then charged toward her with his horn pointed down. Peach countered by letting out an attack lowering growl and then charged toward Spike. The two stayed in a deadlock until spike combination of poison point and rivalry kicked in and raised his attack up enough to send Peach flying back toward Kim. "OOOOOHHHHHH NOOOOO PEEEEEAAAAACCCCHHHH! YOU CAN DO IT PEACH! Get back in there with sand attack and then use tackle again!" she commanded.
"Spike try to use focus energy and then finish her with peck!" Kyle yelled toward the fatigued nidoran male. Peach was able to use the distraction of Kyle calling out an attack to kick sand into his eyes and then started to charge, she was able to do more damage thanks to the fact that her adaptability ability kicked in and was able to knock him out.
"Damn! Good Job Spike!" Kyle said as he recalled his unconscious pokemon.
"Wow, it's hard to believe that you have never used him in battle before the way that you two worked together!" Kim announced in amazement before calling out her last pokemon," Ok, we are all tied up and it is up to you now, Don!"
"My final pokemon! Go Jessamine!" Kyle yelled as he called out nidoran female," Jessamine use growl and then scratch!"
"Don use tail whip and then try to hit her with your bone club!" Kim instructed her cubone. Don immediately started to swip his tail at the approaching Jessamine and managed to not only lower her defense but stop her from getting any closer. She skidded a few feet away and then growled menacingly at Don and then went back in for her scratch attack. Don waited until she started to come in to attack and lowered his club to attack her on the head. She never knew what hit her and was instantly knocked out.
"Good job, Jessamine! Don't worry I will help you to become stronger, but you were just at a disadvantage. Ok it's your turn again Paine! I know that it will be tough, but I have faith in you!" Kyle exclaimed as he recalled nidoran female and called back out croagunk.
"Don, I want you to use bone club again!" Kim instructed her cubone.
"Paine use mud-slap and poison sting!" Kyle commanded his friend. Don tried to wait for croagunk to come to him, but was blasted by a combination of mud and needles of poison. It left him poisoned and breathing hard, but he started to run toward croagunk to knock him out. "Stop him with an astonish and then finish with mud-slap!" Kyle told him. He immediately snuck up on him and flinched him with astonish; then he knocked him out with mud.
"Damn, I thought I had you there! I guess you are really used to fighting with your croagunk and figured out my strategy with cubone. Ok, finish him off Peach!" Kim said as she recalled cubone and sent out her eevee again.
"Paine I think that you can finish this off with a taunt and poison sting!" Kyle instructed.
(What is the little puppy going to be able to do against someone as strong as me? What a pathetic weakling!) Croagunk taunted eevee into running right at him with tackle attack and was immediately knocked him out with poison sting.
"Well that was a great battle! Here is your prize money (240$) and I hope to battle again with you!" Kim said after losing her pokemon battle.
"So what are you going to do now, Kim? Are you going to train or do have something else important to do?" Kyle asked.
"I think that I was going to visit Professor Elm, so that I can try and get a pokedex. I think after that I would start getting serious about the pokemon league challenge!" Kim announced.
"Really because that is exactly where I am heading and you are more than welcome to travel with me!" Kyle offered.
"Ok that sounds like fun to me and why are you heading to see Professor Elm?" Kim asked.
"I have to run an errand for my dad before I can start my pokemon league challenge!" Kyle explained before the two starting walking toward the National Park. When they reach the entrance and were about to walk into the main section of the park, a park ranger stopped them and started to tell them about the Bug Catching Challenge.
"All you have to do is take one pokemon inside with you to help you capture a wild bug pokemon and then you can keep the last pokemon that you catch. Which pokemon will you take with you?" the pokemon ranger asked.
"I think that I will use Spike!" Kyle announced.
"I think that I will use Penelope!" Kim announced.
"Ok I will keep your other pokemon with me and here is 20 parkballs! You have 20 minutes to catch a pokemon, but if you think you have a winner then you can stop at any time. Do you have any questions?" The park ranger asked before letting them through. Both of the trainers shook their head no and walked inside the park to start the challenge.
"How about we split up and see what each other catch? Does that work with you, Kim?" Kyle asked.
"Sure!" Kim answered before running off into the tall grass to try and catch something. Kyle took nidoran male with him to the left before entering the grass and starting to search for some bugs.
"I think that I would like to find either a venonat or a weedle, Paine! What do you think?" Kyle asked his pokemon, who nodded his head at the idea of catching another poison type.
Suddenly he heard the buzzing of a large group of pokemon and decided to go and investigate. He snuck up to the group and noticed that a venonat was being attack by 5 beedrils. "Spike, use focus energy to power yourself up and then hit them with multiple peck to drive them away from that venonat!" Kyle commanded his nidoran male. Spike started to taunt the beedril who immediately flew toward him and then started to unload on them with poison sting. Kyle used this distraction to check up on the venonat, who seemed to be in pretty rough shape. "Here buddy take this potion to make you feel better!" Kyle told the venonat," Here I know that you might be afraid to, but I need to catch you so that I can get you checked out by the park rangers!"
The venonat nodded his head weakly and allowed himself to be captured by Kyle, who then turned back and noticed that all of the beedrils beside one had fainted. "Spike use peck to finish that beedril off!" Kyle commanded his croagunk. He charged at the beedril and then hit him with his horn which managed to finally knock the last beedril out. Kyle started to run toward the park ranger station and informed them about a bunch of beedril that he had to faint to save this venonat.
"Ok, but first let me see that venonat and we can bring it back to full health!" One of the park rangers told Kyle. A few minutes later, the venonat was healed and Kyle decided to let it choose between going back into the park or coming along with him. The venonat decided that he would rather leave so that he could become stronger and defeat that group of beedrils by himself.
"All right, I caught a venonat! I think that I will call you Storm!" Kyle announced before hearing the chime that tells everyone that the bug catching challenge is over. He noticed Kim walking up to the park ranger and ran up to her to see how she did," What did you catch, Kim?"
"I caught a fainted beedril that I found while searching! It looked like someone had battled it and left it out there after worlds . . ." Kim started to announce before Kyle interrupted her to tell what happened.
"I kind of had to do that so that I could save a venonat that they were teaming up against and take him back to get healed!" Kyle explained to her.
"Ok that does explain the couple of injured looking beedril in that area, but I understand that you didn't have a choice in the matter . . . Oh hey it looks like they are getting ready to announce the winner!" Kim told him.
"The winner of the bug catching is Bug Catcher Floyd with a wriggling caterpie!" the park ranger announced," second place went to Kim Wolfe with a beedril and third place went to Kyle O'Neal with a venonat." Kim and Kyle went up to the park ranger handing out the prizes to the winners and the people that placed. Kim got an everstone and Kyle received a sitrus berry. They then continued on their way to see Professor Elm's laboratory.
That is the second chapter and already Kyle has made a new friend to travel with and has caught four pokemon that can become his friend. The next chapter will involve them continuing on to Professor Elm and might even include a new rival for both Kim and Kyle.
