Infernal Red Playthrough Ch.2
NOTE: I'm sorry if these chapters are a little short, but I have to slow down the writing, mainly due to the fact that I don't want to catch up to where I am, or the end of the version, and then have to wait until the update. All good? Coolio.
A/N: So guys, welcome back to Pokemon Infernal Red. At the end of last chapter we had just chosen Charmander as our Starter. I will now inform you guys that in the game we are up to Pewter City. Which isn't far considering that the next update will introduce Celadon City and Gym Leader Erika. But that's inconsequntial. If I caught up, we'd be wallowing while Crispy works on the new updates. So at the moment I'm concentrating on writing this up instead of continuing. So let's continue, starting up with a classic Rival's Battle. Red VS Blue, the first battle of their Rivalry. Who... will win? Oh god...
After thanking Professor Oak for the Charmander I turned to go as Blue chose his Pokemon.
"Hey, Red! Wait! Let's check out our Pokemon! I'll take you on!" Blue called, holding out his starter's Pokeball.
"You're on!" I replied, unhooking Charmander's Pokeball.
"Pokeball, go!" We both called at the same time, releasing our Pokemon.
PoV Change: Battle, 3rd Person
Both Pokemon hit the ground at the same time. Blue had chosen a Squirtle. Red inwardly groaned. This put Blue at an advantage to Charmander. At least they wouldn't be able to use their elemental attacks yet.
"Charmander, use Scratch attack!" Red called. Charmander stumbled forward, almost going face-first into the ground. This gave the Squirtle enough time to move out of the way. It would've gotten away without damage if Charmander hadn't actually tripped. One flailing claw, still charged with energy to scratch with, swiped across the Squirtle's face.
"Tackle it, Squirtle!" Blue called. The tiny turtle gathered energy in its forehead and landed on Charmander. The attack cracked across Charmander's forehead, dealing a large amount of damage. Charmander tried to get up and scratch the Squirtle, but the blow to the head dazed it and it missed. Two more Tackles from the Squirtle and Charmander was dropped like a sack of bricks. Charmander didn't even get a decent hit in.
"Yeah, am I great or what?" Blue fist-pumped. "Okay, I'll make my Pokemon battle to toughen it up. Red! Gramps! I'll smell ya later!"
PoV Change: Red, 1st Person
I fell to my knee at Charmander's unconscious form. One of Oak's Assistants came up and took Charmander down a corridor. He brought it back after about 5 minutes. Charmander was now bright-eyed and hot-tailed. I accepted Charmander back. Oak saw me off from the front door of the lab.
"Don't feel bad. This was Charmander's first battle. Squirtle was always hot-tempered and picked fights with other Pokemon. It had more experience than Charmander. Charmander is a little shy." Oak reassured me. I just nodded glumly.
"Don't lose hope, young man. I can see you going far." Oak told me. I nodded and started off. Soon I was out of Pallet and in Route One. Wild Pokemon teemed in the woods. Packs of Rattatta, Flocks of Pidgey and I swear I even saw some Butterfree. Charmander and I took on any Pokemon that even looked at us funny. Some ignored us, some were still obviously exhausted from the Trainers that had come through the woods. Charmander grew in confidence in every battle and eventually surprised me as it sneezed and knocked out a Pidgey we were battling. The Pidgey's feathers were smoking and I realized that Charmander had just learnt Ember.
"Yeah, way to go... Umm..." I realized that I didn't know Charmander's gender... Since it was getting dark and we were close to Viridian City, I decided to ask Nurse Joy when I got Charmander healed.
The lights in Viridian City made navigating the final part of the way to it relatively easy. I simply followed the glow in the sky. Eventually I found my way into the city, healed Charmander, who is a female, the most powerful gender for a dragon, and rented a room, where I left Charmander out and collapsed into the bed. I had shopping to do tomorrow...
A/N: So, we're going well guys. Oak's Parcel and stuff tomorrow. Plus, there's no catching tutorial in Infernal Red. One thing to say, THANK YOU CRISPY! Anyway, thanks to Eeveecat44 and walkswithwheels, for following and/or favoring the series. The more awareness that this series generates means that a bigger fan-base will build up for Crispy. And one thing that nobody likes to do is to disappoint their fans. Hell, there's probably even some of you guys out there who could lend a hand, one thing I'd like to see is remastered music. But hey, we're just a bunch of weird people, sitting round computers/phones, reading Pokemon Fan-fictions.
Follow/Favorite if you enjoyed and leave a review telling me how you enjoy the story so far. Do you like how I've Dramatized it, or would you rather that I scaled it back a little? If I am being too overboard, just tell me, and I will fix it. That said, I will see you guys next chapter.
