Chapter 2

"Wait hold on Lila!" I exclaimed. "I need to tell my mom something!"

"Ughhh but we have to go all the way back..." complained Lila.

"But this is important!"

"Fine, let's go..."

We went back to our home town.. to visit our parents one more time. I visited my mom while Lila visited her dad. "Hey mom!" I said.

"Daniel, what on earth are you doing here?" asked my mother.

"Mom... I need to ask you something. You know my middle name? I know it's Zeus... but why did you choose that as my middle name?" I asked.

"Daniel.. you've got a lot ahead of you. You know the gods are with you right?" said my mother.

"I know mom... and I know I will have to battle them soon once I go to the first gym..."

"Well Daniel... Not only are the gods here on earth... but they do have children after all... with mortals. These half god half mortal children are called Demigods. Usually their middle name is named after their god parent..." explained my mother.

"Mom... are you saying... I'm the son of ZEUS?!!!" I screamed.

"Yes Daniel, and your friend, Lila, her mother is Leto, mother of Apollo and Artemis. This also explains why you both have different colored eyes. Each demigod has different colored eyes..."

"Why hadn't you told me before mom?" I asked.

"It was not yet time. I had to say it when it was proper. Now run along now. Your journey awaits," she said as I started to leave.

"I will be back mother, for a better explanation of this..." I said as I walked out. I met Lila soon at the door of her house. She explained that her father too had explained who her mother was. Now they were ready to leave Pallet Town once more.

"Hey why don't we pass through Tommy's house and see what his sister is up to first?" asked Lila.

"Sure," I said and not much later we were knocking at their door. She opened the door for us and greeted us in.

"What are you guys doing here? Oh wait, are you doing that same thing like my brother? Wow that's so amazing! Well my brother took one of my maps.. hey maybe you can take the other one and beat him at this!! Yes yes! Take this map. It shows all the cities. Well, farewell! No time for chit-chat!" ranted Dina without letting us speak a word. We headed off on our adventure once more, off to the Viridian forest we go!

Once again we are in front of the Viridian Forest entrance. "Ready Lila?" I ask.

"Ready when you are!" she said as we both went in at the same time. "Wow how are we gonna get through this Daniel?!" asked Lila.

"Pshh just keep moving forward Lila!" I said as I hurried into the all grass. Maybe there were a few Pokemon I was willing to catch. Soon I encountered a... Pikachu! It was the cutest thing ever but as I was about to summon Rattata, Lila took out her Pidgey.

"Lila! You can't beat an electric type with a flying type!" I screamed.

"I can do this Daniel! Believe in me..." she said.

"Ugh... don't say I didn't warn you!" I said as I walked away. I wanted the Pikachu... I bet it would make my father proud for me to get something that he might have. Electricity- his thunder bolt gives it away. Maybe my father was disappointed in me since I got a water-type... like my uncle. Well, my father would have to understand, but I'll get a pikachu so he can be proud of me! So I went off to search for another pikachu, but instead I encountered a Caterpie. Wasn't Caterpie the first evolution of Butterfree? I didn't want that girly thing! Ugh... "Go Rattata!" I called out as Rattata appeared before my eyes. Would I catch it? No... well OK fine, but that didn't mean I was girly! I ended up catching the little thing. It was quite cute if you looked at it. I went back to check out on Lila when I finally encountered a Pikachu. It was time to make my father proud! I summoned Caterpie- well now a Metapod since I kinda evolve it... I first weakened the Pikachu and then threw a Pokeball. This was my chance! I hope I caught it...

Thunder started to hit when the Pikachu was in the Pokeball. I had caught the Pikachu! The thunder had gone away once I got my Pokeball back- with the Pikachu inside. Weird. I finally reach Lila and she explains that she not only caught the Pikachu but also a Weedle- now a Kakuna. We go back to the entrance- this time to learn our way out of this jungle.

We went left, north then left. Lila found a Pokeball! Lucky her... Then we made our way east past where we first entered and go up north. We encounter two bug catchers each. Lila fought the first one and I fought the second one. We then sticked to the left side of the trail. Soon we go to the left then back down south. We reach a sign then go east. "I think I see something!" I said as I spot a potion on the floor down the trail. We head back to where we were and go west. We head up north.. oh no not another bug catcher! "I'll get this on Lila!" I said and fought with all my might, encouraging my Pokemon on as Lila cheered for them. I won and soon we were out of the Viridian Forest!

"I believe Pewter City is next Lila" I said as a checked the map.

"Yep and our first gym challenge" she said, "we are up against..."
