Chapter 2: Viridian City
On route 1
"And so it begins!" yelled Matt pumping his fist in the air.
"Well Gary you're the one with the map how long will it take to get to Viridian city?"
"Let's see, it'll take about five hours."
4 and a half hours later
"That is why Medichams suck balls (Sorry to all the Medicham lovers out there)."
"Wow I didn't know that."
"In that case why would anyone want one?"
"That's what I'm saying."
Their conversation was cut short as two Rattatas and a Pidgey burst from the bushes with a look that said they were out for blood, the three stared on blankly for a moment before they realized what was happening, they took out their Pokedexes and the descriptions were.
"RATTATA, THE RAT POKEMON, ITS FANGS GROW CONTINUOUSLY SO IT GNAWS ON HARD THINGS TO WHITTLE THEM DOWN, IT IS VERY COWARDLY AND WILL RUN AT THE FIRST SIGN OF A STRONG OPPONENT OR A LOSING BATTLE."
"PIDGEY, THE GUST POKEMON, IT RARELY TRAVELS OUTSIDE OF FLOCKS BUT WHEN IT DOES IT HIDES IN TALL GRASS TO AVOID PREDATORS, IT IS A WELL KNOWN FACT THAT MEMBERS OF THE PIDGEY FAMILY AND MEMBERS OF THE SPEAROW EVOLUTION FAMILY ARE NATURAL BORN ENEMIES."
Matt's smirk grew into a full grin and he shouted "Awww Yeah, let's do this, go Char!" Matt yelled throwing his lone pokeball into the air, a white light shot from the sphere and hit the ground taking the form of a Pokémon before it retracted into the ball which fell into Matt's hand.
"Char Charmander (Bring it on)!"
"We can't let you have all the fun, go Saura!"
"Saur Bulba Bulbasaur Saur Saur Bulbasaur (Awww I was having a nice nap, oh well)."
"Hmph, I was hoping my first battle would be more of a challenge, oh well, go Blake."
"Squirtle Squirt Squirtle (Let's do this)." One of the Rattatas stepped forward growling at char.
"I guess I'm up first, let's start this off with ember!"
"Char Charmander (Eat this whiskers)!" Char took in a breath then blew out a volley of small fireballs, the Rattata dodged while charging towards Char but grunted as a few of the embers hit it (If you're wondering why the wild Pokémon haven't spoken its because they were raised not to do so in battle at least until they are captured) the Rattata jumped and bashed its head with Char's causing him to stumble back but remain standing,
"Char Char Charmander (Why you, take this)!" Char yelled as he swung his claws with as much force as he could muster and hit the Rattata sending it sprawling. Char smirked as the Rattata rose to its feet sending him a glare that would put Sasuke Uchiha to shame. It charged with its fangs bared and jumped intending to tackle Char again, Char however, wasn't about to let that happen and ducked under the attack
"Now finish it with ember!" Char tuned to face the still air born Rattata and blew out a volley of small fireballs, all of which hit their mark. The Rattata fell and rolled to a stop covered in burn marks. It stood slowly and sent one last glare at Char before running into the bushes, clearly it had had enough.
The 2nd Rattata sent a scowl at the 1st for its weakness before stepping forward itself.
"Alright Saura we're up." Alice said smirking.
"Saur Bulba Bulbasaur (Let's go bitch)." The Rattata growled angrily and charged at Saura intending to tackle her.
"Dodge and use vine whip!' Saura rolled out of the way of the attack and shot twin vines at the Rattata and then began whipping it repeatedly. Distracted by the stinging pain the Rattata didn't look where it was going and ran face first into *insert dramatic pause here* a tree. It stumbled dazed for a few seconds and then fell over unconscious. Saura groaned before saying "Saur Bulba Bulbasaur Bulba Bulbasaur Bulba (I know how you feel, not the most pleasant of sensations)."
"All right go Saura, you rule!" Alice said kneeling down to hug the grass type.
"Saur (I know)." The Pidgey just sighed at the display before coming forward.
"I guess it's our turn Blake, not that this will be too hard."
"Squirt Squirt (Okay boss)." The Pidgey took to the air and stared circling Blake.
"Blake use water gun!" Blake inhaled and shot out a stream of water at the air born Pidgey, however being an agile Pokémon it managed to dodge it continuously, Squirtle eventually had to stop to take a breath and seeing the opportunity it dived for a peck attack with its beak glowing white.
"Blake use withdraw!"
"Squirtle Squirt Squirtle (Take this sucker)." Blake drew his limbs into his shell causing the Pidgey to bounce off harmlessly (for Blake, not so much for the Pidgey) seizing the opportunity as the Pidgey stumbled around, clearly shaken by the impact Blake pushed his limbs back out and shot a full force water gun and hit the Pidgey sending it rolling back to hit a tree.
"That kind of speed is just what I need." Taking the chance before the Pidgey could come back to its senses Gary threw a pokeball which hit the Pidgey and pulled it inside, shake shake shake
'come on.' Gary thought, shake shake
'I can't believe Gary might get his first Pokémon before me.' Matt thought, shake shake
'I can't believe Gary's already catching his first Pokémon.' Alice thought.
Shake shake …. Ding.
"All right I caught a Pidgey!" Gary said.
"Go Gary/I need to catch a Pokémon."
"Squirtle Squirt Squirtle Squirt (All right, I got a new team mate)."
"Char/Saur (Lucky)."
Gary picked up the ball.
"I think I'll call you Ace." Gary said as he threw the ball into the air sending out his new Pokémon.
"Hey there Ace, you're going to be going with me now."
"Pidgey Pidgey Pidgey Pidgey Pidgey Pidgey (Ace huh? I like it, I won't let you down)." Ace said as he perched on Gary's shoulder
"All right let's get going, Gary needs to heal Ace and I need to buy a fishing rod."
"Why do you need to get a fishing rod?"
"Because, the 1st gym is a rock one and Char isn't going to cut it, if I'm going to win I'm going to need an edge."
"In that case let's hurry, the sooner we get to Viridian city the better." And with that the seven walked off with their destination more important than ever.
3 hours and several wild Pokémon battles later
"Pidgey Pidgey Pidgey Pidgey Pidgey Pidgey Pidgey Pidgey Pidgey Pidgey Pidgey Pidgey (Wow you guys rule, especially you Char I've never seen anyone take out so many Pokémon in a row)."
Char who was beaming with pride while the others where resting from their battles said "Char Charmander Char (Yeah, I know)."
"Pidgey Pidgey Pidgey Pidgey (I can't wait for my first battle)!"
"Char Charmander Char Char (I'm sure you'll do great)." At this moment the trainers entered around the back of the Pokémon Center where there Pokémon had been resting.
"Come on Char let's go, we've got some fishing to do."
"Charmander? Char Char Char Char? Char Char Charmander Charmander Char Char (Fishing? As in water types? I'm not looking forward to this)." Char said as he followed Matt back through the door. Seeing that he was gone the two turned back to their Pokémon.
"All right guys, we're going for a little walk."
"Matt would be coming with us but he's hell bent on catching that water-type."
"Everyone ready to go?" "Saur/Squirtle/Pidgey (Yeah)."
Outskirts of Viridian city
"All right Char this is the path to Viridian Lake." Matt said looking down the dirt road,
"You ready to catch a water type?"
Char, who was whispering to himself to be brave tried his best to be bold and said "Charmander Char (You bet I am)."
"That's great, it should be about a half an hour walk so let's get going!" Matt said as he walked off down the path with Char in tow.
"Charmander Char Charmander (This isn't going to be fun)."
"You say something buddy?" "Charmander Char (Nothing at all, let's go)!"
Meanwhile in Viridian city
"Squirt Squirtle Squirtle Squirt Squirtle (Why is it taking so long to get there)?" Blake whined as he, Saura and Ace where led down different streets by Gary and Alice who had their noses buried in the map.
"Bulbasaur Saur Bulba Saur Bulba Bulbasaur Saur Bulba (Yeah Char and Matt have probably already gotten to Viridian Lake)."
Ace, having flown over the city many times decided to enlighten his friends, "Pidgey Pidgey Pidgey Pidgey Pidgey Pidgey Pidgey Pidgey Pidgey Pidgey. Pidgey Pidgey Pidgey Pidgey (Route 22 is actually a lot farther away from the Pokémon Center than Lake Path is. But we're really close now)."
"Bulba Saur/Squirt Squirt (If you say so)." They replied before the three started chatting about something inconsequential.
"Let's see, turn left here and... Here we are!" Alice said as they stood at the beginning of Route 22.
"All right guys it's an hour and a half walk so let's get going."
"I wonder if Matt has gotten to Viridian Lake yet."
Elsewhere
"So this is Viridian Lake." Matt said looking out at the lake before him.
"Char Charmander Char Charmander Charmander Char Char Charmander (Not bad, it's pretty cool, you know what I am so ready for this)."
"That's what I like to hear, let's do this buddy." Matt sat down at the edge of the lake and cast his rod. "And now we wait."
"Charmander (Yeah, wait).
Outside Pokémon league HQ
"Wow, Matt wasn't kidding when he said this place is awesome!" Gary exclaimed as they stood outside Pokémon league HQ.
"Yeah they have everything in there!" "It's just too bad we have to leave now."
"Yeah."
"Hey Alice what's that over there." "Two wild Pokémon are fighting, it's a Pidgey and what's that?" Alice said as she took out her Pokedex;
"MANKEY, THE ANGER Pokémon, IT IS VERY TEMPERMENTAL AND QUICK TO ANGER, MUCH LIKE ITS EVOLUTION PRIMAPE ONCE IT STARTS CHASING SOMEONE IT WON'T STOP UNTIL IT CATCHES THEM."
The Pidgey dived at the clearly tired Mankey and gave it one last peck to finish it off before flying away.
"All right!" Gary said, "Go pokeb"
"NOT HAPPENING!" Alice said as she knocked Gary out of the way.
"Go Pokeball!" *Shake Shake Shake Shake... Ding*
"All right I caught a Mankey!" She yelled in glee while Gary laid on the ground in a disheveled heep.
At Viridian Lake
"Another damn Magikarp!" Matt said throwing the Pokémon back into the water.
"This is so boring."
"Charmander (I second that)."
"Let's try one last time buddy."
"Char (Fine)." Char said.
A few minutes later there was a strong pull on the rope.
"Get ready Char this is a strong one."
"Char Charmander (Okay let's do this)." After a few strong tugs a Spheal burst from the water and landed on the shore.
"SPHEAL! SPHEAL SPHEAL (AAAH! WHAT THE HELL)!"
"A Spheal? Matt said pulling out his Pokedex.
"SPHEAL, THE ICE BALL Pokémon, THEIR SHAPE AND PLAYFUL NATURE MAKE THEM POPULAR AS PETS, THEIR SPHERICAL SHAPE ALLOWS THEM TO REACH MUCH HIGHER SPEED THAN ONE WOULD THINK, IT AND ITS EVEOLUTIONS SEALEO AND WALREIN HAVE THE COLDEST ICE OF THE WATER-ICE TYPES."
"What's one of those doing here? Oh well I'm not complaining. Char use ember!" When Char sent him a questioning look Matt said;
"Don't worry it's a Water-Ice type fire attacks are neutral.
"Charmander Char Charmander (If you say so. Take this blue boy)!" Char said before blowing out a volley of fireballs which hit the Spheal and sent it skidding back. "
Spheal Spheal Spheal (It is on like Donkey Kong)." The Spheal (If your wondering why he's talking when he hasn't been caught yet it's because he knows he's probably going to get caught and he's a major rule breaker, it's the reason he got stuck in the lake (will be explained at a later date) and will lead to some sticky situations later on) said before shooting a water gun Char had to dive out of the way of.
"Tire him out Char."
"Charmander Char Char Char Charmander Charmander Char Char Charmander Char Charmander Charmander Char Charmander Char Char Charmander Char Charmander Charmander Char Char Charmander (I could try scratch but if I get that close I'll get hit with one of those water guns for sure, I guess I'll keep using ember cause like Matt said he's part Ice type so it's not like it won't do enough damage)."
"Charmander (Take this Tusky)."
The exchanges continued for a few minutes until both Pokémon were utterly exhausted.
"Nice work Char, go pokeball!" *Shake Shake Shake Shake Shake Shake... Ding*
"All right I caught a Spheal! Isn't this great Char...Char?" Matt looked over to see that Char had passed out from exhaustion.
"You earned a good rest return."
"I better get back, it's getting late and Gary and Alice are probably wondering where I am."
2 days later
"All right, training went great yesterday, Char, Frost (Spheal) I'm real proud of you guys, we're going to own Brock." (No I haven't skipped Viridian forest, their still in Viridian city).
"CHAR/SPHEAL (BOOYAH)."
"Saura, Fury (Mankey) you guys are looking great, because of your type we have the best chance at winning at the gym but I don't want you guys to underestimate those rock types."
"BULBASAUR/MANKEY (YES MAAM)."
"Well Blake, Ace this is going to be our first gym battle but I know you guys will do great."
"SQUIRTLE/PIDGEY (LET'S DO THIS)."
"We need a little practice, Alice, battle me."
"You're on." She said as they walked to the battlefield of the PokeCenter.
"Fury you're up."
"Mankey (It's on)."
"Ace let's do this!"
"Pidgey Pidgey (I am gonna own you)."
"Begin." "Alright Fury let's start this off with fury swipes." Fury charged towards Ace showing off his impressive speed.
"He's fast but you're not the only one with speed. Ace use quick attack." Gary said as Ace charged towards Fury at neck breaking speeds.
"He learned that already!" Alice yelled as Ace hit fury and sent him skidding back.
"Now use peck." (I know it's not supposed to learn that but this is my story and I'll do what I want)
"Pidgey Pidgey (Here I come again)."Ace charged towards Fury with its beak glowing white.
"Wait for it... now dodge and use karate chop."
"Mankey (Eat this bird)."At the last second Fury side stepped and hit Ace in the back forcing him to land. "Keep up the karate chops Fury." "
Counter with sand attack Ace." Ace regained his and used his wings to blow sand into Fury's eyes temporarily blinding him and giving Ace a chance to escape into the air
"Now use peck." Ace folded his wings and dived towards Fury.
"Same strategy as last time!"
"Not this time, switch to quick attack!" Ace's beak stopped glowing as he picked up speed leaving a white trail behind him.
"Pidgey (Here I come)."
"Mank (Oof)." Fury groaned as Ace hit him head on causing him to fall over.
"Now follow up with peck." As Fury was recovering Ace came around and hit him in the back causing him to fall over again.
"Heh heh it's over."
"Not yet." Alice said as Fury slowly stood up with his body glowing.
"What's that!" Gary yelled
"It's Fight or Flight, Fury's special ability, he gets a major boost in attack or speed when his energy is low." (The ability's name is fight or flight, when a Pokémon is low on health they will either get a speed boost or an attack boost)
"Pidgey Pidgey Pidgey (This doesn't look too good)."
"Mankey (It's on)."
"We're not going to be intimidated that easily use quick attack."
"Pidgey Pidgey (It's time to end this)." Ace yelled as he dived towards Fury at high speeds.
"Fury dodge and use karate chop." Fury sidestepped Ace and hit it in its back using karate chop causing him to fall and roll across the ground.
"Keep up the karate chops."
"Mankey (Alright)." Fury hit Ace two more times before he put some distance between them.
"Use sand attack Ace!"
"Fury go around it and use scratch." Fury went around the cloud of dust Ace whipped up but there was no one there.
"You fell right into my trap. Now Ace use peck and quick attack combined!"
"CRAP!" Fury turned around just in time to get nailed by Ace, the blow sent Fury rolling, but this time he didn't get up.
"Fury is unable to battle so the winner is Ace.
"Damn, good work Fury you take a long rest, return."
"You did good Ace return." Gary said as Ace finally collapsed.
"Feeling the pressure Alice?"
"You wish, Saura your up!'
"Bulbasaur (Let's do this)."
"It's up to you to win this for us, go Blake."
"Squirtle (It's on)."
"Use vine whip Saura."
"Not a chance, use withdraw Blake."
"Squirtle Squirt Squirt (Can't get me in here Saura)."
"Saur (Darn it)." Saura said as she made various futile attempts to get him out of his shell.
"So you're gonna play it that way huh, fine then, Saura switch to absorb!"
"Oh-oh."
"Saur Bulbasaur Bulbasaur Saur (Let's see your shell protect you from this)."
"Ugh (Ugh)." Blake grunted as Saura began draining his energy.
"Use rapid spin to escape."
"Saur (Damn)." Saura said as the friction from Blake's spinning burned through her vines.
"Squirtle Squirt Squirt Squirtle (It'll take more than that to beat me)."
"You wont get away that easily, use bullet seed Saura."
"Bulbasaur (Eat this blue boy)." Saura bent over and glowing seeds shot from the hole on her bud.
"Squirt (Aaahh)." Blake groaned while being continuously pelted by the seeds, after all, he was a water type so they hurt like hell.
"Counter with water gun!" Blake shot a stream of water into the line of fire, effectively deflecting the seeds.
"Use tackle Saura."
"Saur (Here I come)." Saura yelled as she charged Blake.
"Blake sidestep it." Blake sidestepped the attack only to have Saura make a one-hundred and eighty degree turn a hit him dead on causing him to stumble back.
"We learned from our battle with Matt, you're not gonna get away that easily, Saura tackle again."
"Squirtle sidestep it!"
"That's not gonna work, Saura you know what to do." Again Saura turned but this time Gary had a plan.
"Use water gun into her eyes!" Squirtle shot water into Saura's eyes causing her to miss him completely.
"Now use pound." Saura turned around just in time to be hit square in the face by Blake sending her skidding back.
"Keep up the pounds Blake."
"Counter with vine whip." Blake hissed in pain as Saura whipped him in the side sending him sprawling.
"Keep it up with absorb." Alice said as Saura lifted Blake into the air.
"Rapid spin."
"I don't think so, rap your vines around his limbs."
"Water gun to the eyes." Unfortunately the combination of being low on health and the constant pain of the absorb were too much and Squirtle fell into unconsciousness before it could.
"Bulba Bulbasaur (Victory is mine blue boy)." Saura said as she lowered Blake to the ground.
"Blake is unable to battle so the winner is Saura, the victory goes to Alice."
"Spheal Spheal Spheal Spheal Spheal Spheal Spheal Spheal Spheal (W-Wow th-their really strong, I d-don't know if I could beat them)."
"Char Charmander Charmander Char Charmander Char Char Charmander Char (Don't worry dude soon that'll be you out there and you'll do great)."
"Spheal Spheal (You really think so)?"
"Charmander Char Charmander Char Charmander (Of course I do, especially with the new moves you learned)."
"Spheal Spheal (I hope your right)."
"I'll get you next time."
"We'll see about that."
"Come on guys you gotta get your Pokémon healed we leave tomorrow morning."
Inside the PokeCenter
"So Matt how long will it take us to get through Viridian Forest?"
"Well Gary from this map says it's about a three day journey."
"I hope we run into some strong trainers."
"I know what you mean Alice I can't wait to use Frost in his first battle."
With the Pokémon
"Squirt Squirtle Squirt Squirtle Squirtle Squirt Squirtle Squirt Squirt Squirtle Squirt Squirtle Squirtle Squirt Squirtle (Hey Frost how did you end up in Viridian Lake? I've heard of your species in Cerulean cave but never in Viridian Lake)."
"Spheal Spheal Spheal (Well here's what happened)."
Flash Back (there are no humans in this flash back so I'll be writing the dialog normally)
"What are we gonna do with you?" asked a large male Walrein looking down at a young Spheal.
"I can't believe you would do that Frost."
"I'm sorry mom and dad we thought it would be funny."
"Funny? You sprayed water onto 50 rock types! You know that hurts them, imagine what would have happened if they found you." Frost was currently being lectured by his parents in their home in a section of Cerulean cave, the crime in question was that he and his friends a psyduck and a poliwag decided it would be funny to literally rain on the rock pride day parade.
They would have gotten away with it if it weren't for the fact that their parents were looking for them and their laughter alerted their parents to their presence, which brings us to the current situation.
"That's not a good excuse, you are grounded."
"But dad!"
"Don't argue with your father, go to your room." "Yes maam."
3 days later
"Me, your father and your sister are heading to town meeting, we'll be back later, remember you are not to leave this house or you will be severely punished."
"Yes maam." Spheal said as his parents left.
"Fat chance that's gonna happen."
15 minutes later
"Hahahahahahaha." Frost laughed as he watched Pokémon slip and slide on the currently icy floor. He was alone this time as he didn't want to drag his friends into it incase he got caught.
Unfortunately he laughed a little too loud which alerted the Pokémon to his presence.
"There he is up there!" said a large Rhyperior pointing at him.
"Uh-oh, time to skedaddle." He said as he started to roll away.
"After him." Unfortunately none of the Pokémon were able to get their footing on the slippery floor which allowed Frost to escape.
"Hahahahahahaha, you'll never take me alive!" unfortunately Frost wasn't looking where he was going and fell into a very fast moving river.
"CRAP!" Frost yelled as he was swept through many caverns and out into the open.
"What in the name of Arceus? Where am I?" he said as he looked around at the bright and unfamiliar landscape. Unfortunately he didn't have time to think about it as he was once again pulled underwater. When he surfaced again he was once again in a river with a roaring sound in the distance.
'What's that?' he thought as the sound grew louder, he soon got his answer as he was thrown over a water fall. He swam around for hours trying to figure out what to do until he spotted something shiny with a pink square on it.
"That looks tasty, I probably shouldn't do this but that's never stopped me before. " he wrapped his mouth around it and attempted to pull the block off, a few seconds later he found himself being pulled out of the water.
"AAAH, WHAT THE HELL!" he said as he looked over to see a boy and a Charmander who looked ready to fight.
End flashback
"Spheal Spheal (And the rest is history)."
"Mankey (Wow dude)."
"Spheal Spheal Spheal Spheal Spheal Spheal Spheal Spheal (It's not all bad, at least this way I'll get to see all of Kanto)." "
Squirtle Squirt Squirtle (That's a good way to look at it)."
"Bed time guys." Matt said as he entered the room "Char Charmander Char Charmander Charmander Char Char Charmander (He's right guys, we gotta be at full strength to kick ass tomorrow)."
And with that the Pokémon fell asleep. Imagining the heinous ass kickings they would be dealing out the next day.
End
And scene, we had some serious ass kickings in this chapter huh? And there's a lot more were that came from. Next chapter our heroes experience Viridian Forest, but let's just say mine's a little different from the one we've come to know.
Til then, Take care.
