Okay second chapter time. Not much to say besides here is the chapter. Please review to let me know what you think and let's begin.
Chapter 2 Blue's improvement
It had been a few days since Blue had started his Journey. He had trained his Pidgey and Squirtle hard and they both have improved greatly and it made Blue very excited to see how well he was coming along. He knew if he could keep this up then one day he knew he would be the best.
The problem was even though he was stronger, he still had a long way to go and sadly he wasn't paying attention to that and he already thought he could beat anyone and he was even attempting to challenge the gym but the guards weren't letting him in.
"What do you mean the gym is closed? Is that even allowed?" Blue said annoyed.
He had just arrived at the Viridian Gym and he wanted to challenge the gym leader to a battle however he was told to leave and he was told that he would be wasting his time if he wanted to challenge the gym. Of course Blue stood there and kept complaining demanding that he was at the right level and could handle anyone even this gym leader.
"Look if your leader is a coward that's fine but if that's the case then you better just give me the badge right now. I'll have you know that unlike you, I actually am a master trainer." Blue said
The guard at the door looked Blue over for a second and threw his head back and laughed at Blues bragging. "Well kid do you really think you're that great then I'm sure you have a ton of badges. So let's see them." The man asked laughing only causing Blue to get annoyed and make a fist.
"Listen I don't have any yet but I don't need them to prove my strength. I'm still good enough to take on anyone and become the winner." Blue said bragging but the guard didn't care.
"Look we're sure that you work really hard but you just wouldn't last five seconds against the leader. How many Pokemon do you even have on you?" the guard asked.
"For your information I have two. Squirtle and Pidgey." Blue said holding out his pokeballs.
"You talk as if that's an accomplishment you little brat. I'll have you know that Pidgey is one of the most common Pokemon there is. I'll tell you what kid, If you had a PIdgeot then maybe I could understand you bragging but a Pidgey is just plain pathetic. Man what a bad trainer and on top of that you act like your starter is great but I'll tell you it's nothing to brag about. I bet you just got it from a professor and again it isn't even an evolved Pokemon. Come back when you have more Pokemon and some more actual experience and then maybe I'll think about letting you into this gym. What an amateur." The man said shaking his head at Blue.
"Fine forget it, I'll prove you wrong. Since you guys are being idiots then I suppose I'll just skip him and go take on the elite four myself." Blue said as he turned and walked away causing the guards to laugh at him as he walked away and they doubted him getting in.
Blue tried to ignore those jerks and decided to walk to try to challenge the elite four. The walk took about an hour to two hour and he was able to beat a few other trainers and gain some more experience for his Pokemon and become even stronger than he was before. FInally after what felt like an eternal walk, Blue arrived at the gates were he could enter the gates.
"Hey there, I would like to challenge the elite tour and travel through victory Road!" Blue said
"Very well but be warned the journey through victory road is a long and dangerous with extremely powerful trainers and Pokemon. So to make sure that you won't get hurt we must ask you to show us all of your gym badges." The guard said.
"Huh badges. Well about that, you see I don't have any but trust me I'll be fine." Blue said.
"Well then I'm sorry but we aren't allowed to let anyone go by unless the have the badges. I'm sorry but come back when you have eight badges." The guard said in an apologetic tone.
"Fine" Blue said annoyed as he walked away. He cursed under his breath and was pissed that he was unable to battle any of the elite four. Blue walked all the way back until he was near Viridian city. As he was getting closer he saw someone nearby. The person he saw was none other than his Rival Red and Blue was getting excited to see his rival once again.
"Well well well if it isn't my good old friend and rival Red." Blue said as Red looked up and looked surprised to run into his rival here though he looked happy too.
"Blue I haven't seen you since we battled last. What are you doing all the way out here in the middle of nowhere?" Red asked confused.
""I could ask you the same question Red. It looks like you're just wandering out here but I bet you had a reason to be here." Blue said as he had a feeling that Red was probably going to attempt to do the same thing that Blue had just attempted to do.
"Well I suppose you could say that I heard that the elite four live near here and I wanted to see what the hype was about all of them and maybe even battle theme." Red said.
"SO it sounds like your were just as excited as I was. Well sorry say that you're wasting your time. I actually went there myself a little while ago but unfortunately they wouldn't let me. And I doubt they'd let you you get by unless you have eight gym badges and I doubt you have eight of the badges already." Blue said certain that his friend hadn't even succeeded at getting a single badge.
"Yea I suppose you're right. I don't have eight badges yet. In fact I don't even have one badge. I wanted to attempt to get one from that gym in Viridian city but the guard refused to let me pass and I wasn't allowed to challenge the gym leader sadly." Red said sounding sad.
"So you got stopped by that stupid guard too. Figures but man he pissed me off so much." Blue said as he kicked a nearby tree in anger but hurt his foot and caused Red to laugh.
"You think me getting hurt is funny!" Blue said angrily at his laughing friend.
"No I think it's hilarious." Red said still laughing " all though I suppose you sure are enjoying yourself Blue and for that. Some trainers I ran into are so serious it's boring and I'm glad someone knows how to have fun. And I hate to admit it but it's been lonely for the past few days so it's actually really awesome that I'm able to see a friend of mine once again." Red said happily and Blue hated to admit it but in reality he was a little happy to see his friend again who he was rivals with since childhood.
"Yea I suppose life would get boring without me. However did you manage to survive without the great and awesome Blue here to help you out." Blue said laughing.
"Always the modest person eh Blue? So then what have you been up to for the past few days. I have to admit I'm a little curious." Red asked in a curious tone.
"Well if you must know I've been busy training up my Pokemon and making them into amazing power houses." Blue bragged at his training accomplishments.
"Really well I suppose that makes sense. After all I've been training hard as hell too." Red said.
"Oh really well I may have been training but that wasn't all I've been doing. I've also defeated a whole bunch of trainers and gotten used to more battling with other types of opponents. You wouldn't believe how helpful it can be." BLue said trying to top Red
"I know what you mean I too have faced and beaten a bunch of trainers. In fact currently I'm undefeated." Red said proudly.
"Really well I am too except for that one unlucky lose I had." Blue said making an excuse.
"Unlucky lose? Hey last I checked I beat you fair and square." Red said.
"Nah that was just luck. Now that I had a chance to train I know I could beat you if I wanted too." Blue said feeling certain that he was now better than Red.
"You sure about that. SO far I've been undefeated. I haven't lost once and i don't plan on it. But if you really wanna prove that you're the better trainer then why don't we have a battle." Red said as he grabbed a Pokeball and held it out and looked ready to battle.
"So you wanna battle huh. Fine then I'm ready to face you and prove that I've surpassed you. Tell me first how many Pokemon do you have." Blue asked half hoping Red had the same amount as him because he didn't want to be behind that guy.
"I have two so far if you count my Charmander." Red said.
"How funny, I happen to have two Pokemon as well. In that case let's have a two on two Pokemon battle." Blue said wanting to use both of his POkemon to cream Red.
"Fine by me. Two on two. Charmander let's go first!" Red said as he sent out his Charmander into battle.
"SO you're using Charmander again huh. I knew you couldn't resist using that starter again. Fine by me though cause I have my Squirtle." Blue said as he sent out his starter.
"Your starter Pokemon again Blue? You do remember that it lost last time right?" Red said with a smirk and I could tell that he was already getting confident that he would win.
"Don't let yourself think that you've won already. Last time we had no Water attacks but now we've gotten the first Water Type move." Blue said.
"That's cool but guess what, we learned the first fire type move. So Charmander use Ember!" Red said with a proud smile.
"Charmander." the fire type said with pride.
"You idiot, that won't even help you. Fine then Squirtle run into those flames with Tackle." Blue said.
Charmander let out a handful of small flames that all came flying towards Squirtle but Squirtle ran straight into the flames showing no signs of fear and it ran through the flames taking little if any damage and then Squirtle slammed into Charmander pushing it against a tree.
"No way! We used our own Fire type attack but it barely did anything." Red said surprised
"Of course it didn't do much. OR did you forget that Charmander used a fire type move on a water type Pokemon. Because of that we took almost no damage. SOrry but now on top of our defense, We just took even less damage because you used a bad move." Blue said in a cocky tone as he already had Red on the ropes.
"So what I'll come back. Charmander use scratch to damage Squirtle and make it let go off you!" Red said.
"Char!" Charmander said a it struggled to raise it's claws but eventually it was able to get them high up and slash Squirtle across the face causing Squirtle to take damage and grab it's face in pain and it let down of Charmander.
"Perfect now hit it with Ember!" Red said as Charmander shot out a bunch of small flames that slammed into Squirtle but yet again Squirtle didn't take much damage from the attack.
"You think that is good. Check this out, Squirtle use Bubble!" Blue said.
"Squirtle!" Squirtle said happily as it shot out a bunch a small bubbles from it's mouth that slammed into Charmander and knocked it back and lowered it's speed.
"You gotta be kidding me Blue, Your Squirtle sure got stronger. No worries though because I know that we'll win that. Charmander use Scratch!" Red said.
"Hid in your shell." Blue said.
Charmander ran to scratch Squirtle but as it got close, Squirtle went into it's shell and protected itself from taking any damage from the scratch attack.
"Do you really think that plan will work again. I already know it's weakness. Now go Charmander, use Scratch on the bottom of Squirtles shell." Red said happily.
"Do you really think I'd use the same trick with out a way to counter it. Squirtle hit it with Bubble!" Blue said as Squirtle poked it's head out of it's shell and shot out a bunch of bubbles that slammed into Charmander and pushed it backwards canceling out Charmanders Scratch attack.
"No way Charmander is in trouble. Fine though we won't lose even if you hit use with that. Charmander use Ember!" Red said.
"Let's match it with Bubble again Squirtle!" Blue said.
"Squirtle!" the water type said before shooting out a barrage of bubbles that collided with Charmander's ember. Squirtle was clearly stronger because the ember attack was easily pushed back and hit Charmander causing the fire type to stumble backwards and cry out in pain.
"Char!" Charmander cried.
"Now finish this with tackle!" Blue said as Squirtle slammed into Charmander knocking it to the floor and knocking it out.
"No Charmander!" Red said with a shocked look on its face and ran to his starter with concern on his face.
"Yes! One down!" Blue said happily.
"Squirtle!" the water type happily said jumping up and giving me a high five.
"Now hurry and send out your second Pokemon." I said as I watched Red call back his Charmander.
"I have a good second Pokemon. Go Mankey!" Red said as I saw him send out the fighting type Pokemon.
"Well, haven't seen one of them yet. Well then I'll bring you back for a bit Squirtle." Blue said as he called back his Squirtle.
"So now who's switching?." Red said annoyed
"I'm just using someone with an advantage. Now go Pidgey!" Blue said.
"Pidgey!" the small flying type said upon being released.
"So a Pidgey huh. So what, I'll beat it in the end anyway. Mankey use Low Kick!" Red said.
"Fly into the air to dodge it!" Blue said.
Mankey ran forward and swung it's leg to hit Pidgey but the small flying type quickly shot into the air and avoided the attack.
"Now use Gust!" Blue said
"Pidgey Pidgey Pidgey Pidgey!" Pidgey chanted while rapidly flapping it's wings and sent a small whirlwind that shot Mankey into the air.
"Now that you're in the sky, try to use Scratch on Pidgey!" Red said.
Mankey used the force to jump towards Pidgey and scratch it with it's claws causing Pidgey to fall to the ground and become vulnerable.
"Now use Low kick!" Red said.
Mankey dropped to the ground and quickly ran at the downed Pidgey and swung it's leg and kicked the small flying type through the air and into a tree.
"Pidgey!" the small pokemon cried out.
"Use peck!" Blue said.
Pidgey quickly got back into the air and shot forward with his beak glowing and started to rapidly peck Mankey
"Key! Key! Key! Key!" Mankey screeched in pain from each peck.
"Catch it Mankey!" Red said.
"Key!" Mankey screeched and grasped Pidgey while it was still in close and slammed it to the ground.
"Gey!" Pidgey cried out.
"Now karate chop!" Red said.
"Now use Karate CHop!" Red said as his Mankey raised its arm into the air and slammed it on Pidgey but to Mankey and Red's surprise Pidgey slowly rose to it's feet again.
"Pidgey!" the pokemon chirped angrily.
"Perfect now use Gust!" Blue said.
Pidgey got back into the air and sent another blast of air at Mankey that sent the fighting type flying away from Pidgey and also made it cry out when it hit the ground.
"Come on Mankey don't let that stop you. Jump into the air and scratch Pidgey!" Red said as his Mankey leapt into the air and swung it's claws scratching Pidgey and then pulling it to the floor.
"Good now use another Karate Chop attack!" Red said.
"Counter it with Peck attack!" Blue said.
Mankey raised it's hand and prepared to slam it down on PIdgey's head but as it swung downward, Pidgey moved it's peck out and slammed it into Mankey causing Many to take damage and get distracted.
"Now let's end this, Pidgey fly at full speed and use Peck!" Blue said.
"Wait for it to get close and catch it!" Red said.
Pidgey got backwards and flew straight towards Mankey gaining speed and power. Then once Pidgey got close, mankey tried to catch Pidgey, however Pidgey was too fast and despite Mankey's efforts to catch Pidgey, Pidgey was too fat and Mankey couldn't get a hold of Pidgey and got slammed into by the full speed bird. The attack caused Mankey to fall to the fall and faint easily and Blue had won.
"Yes I did it! I won! Now it looks like our records are even. I won once and you did though currently I am clearly much better then you." Blue bragged.
"Yea but you did use all Pokemon with a type advantage no offense but that doesn't prove that you're better, it just means that you had better Pokemon that could counter mine." Red said.
"Really it just sounds to me like you're making an excuses because I destroyed you." Blue said as he bragged some more.
"That's not what I'm trying to do but whatever I doubt you'd believe me anyway. Either way I suppose I better get to a Pokemon center." Red said
"Well then you better get going keep training hard Red. So far you're one of the few trainers that can give me a challenge. Anyway keep training and smell ya later." Blue said as Red nodded and left to heal and train.
"So that's my power now huh. Man I'm awesome. I can't believe that I won so easily. I mean I know I had type advantage but still I destroyed him. If I keep this up I can't ever lose." Blue said feeling like he just accomplished an amazing feet and it even made him forget about how mad he was with all those guards who wouldn't let him into any places.
Before Blue could leave he heard something rustling in the grass.
"Hey who's there" Blue asked as he faced the ground.
"Rat!" A small Rattata said as it came out of the grass and stared at him.
"Oh it's just a Rattata. Anyway I suppose I should get going and head to Pewter City myself." Blue said as he started walking away but the Rattata started following him which Blue found to be strange.
"Hey what are you doing little guy?." Blue asked getting down on his knees so he was closer to the purple pokemon.
"Rat" The Rattata said as it stared at Blue with big eyes.
"What are you doing. Hold on did you see my battle just then?" Blue asked
"Rat" The Rattata replied happily jumping around at the mention of battle.
Blue was now interested in this little rat Pokemon so he bent over and picked it up. The Rattata twitched for a second but when it saw that Blue wasn't gonna hurt him.
"Your a fragile little guy. You must've been in a lot of battles and you lost a lot didn't you." Blue said.
"Rat" The Rattata said sadly.
"Well who cares honestly I can tell you're weak but I really don't care. If you are weak right now then that just means that you aren't even close to your full potential. I'll make you stronger little guy if you want me too. But you have to join my team." Blue said
"Rat" Rattata said looking excited.
"Good then though we'll have to be careful with your wounds. I'll get you to a center to heal you first. And I know you may have lost a lot but don't worry about it because latter we'll make you stronger. Though you better be willing to work hard cause I like putting my Pokemon to their limits so they can win more battles." Blue said.
"Rat" Rattata said with a serious look.
"Good then in that case welcome to the team." Blue said as he through a Pokeball and caught the Pokemon.
"Well Ratatat's are supposed to be weak but who cares. I'll make this little guy strong. I can tell he wants to be the best and I will get him there." Blue said happily
"Squirtle" Blues Squirtle said happily as it came out of the Pokeball.
"Yea we'll all become stronger. And we'll teach that loser Red what it means to be the best." Blue said getting excited.
With that Blue ran off getting excited now that he had his new Pokemon and he intended to become a great trainer and make all of his Pokemon extremely powerful.
Nearby from behind a tree professor Oak came out a smiled. "Well it looks like my grandson is growing up to become a powerful trainer good I really hope he can keep this up and make the right choices but I'm counting on Red to push him some more." Oak said happily as he left and looked forward to his grandson continuing to grow and become an even better trainer.
To Be Continued.
