Rylte: "I get to do the disclaimer! ScotSniper does not own Pokemon or stuff, or the mass Dr Graveler (Pokemon Dr Pepper) cans I store somewhere…"

A/N: I have posted a created a picture of Willow and Rylte on my profile. (It ain't great, but It saves me having to describe him XD). I relied heavily on dialogue from the comic in this chapter.

VS. Kangaskahn!

The Viridian Forest

Willow and Rylte

Attempting to reach Pewter city… and failing.

I trudged though the dense woodland, the trees reached over each other and blocked out the sun. I silently cursed the old Professor.

"Unworthy… hah!" I snorted, "Old fool."

'Seriously dude… let it go…' Rylte moaned as he followed me.

I glanced over my shoulder at the bored Riolu. "And prove the senile fool right? I don't think so."

I cursed as I wandered into some thick patches of grass. I had to take large steps to get through them. Rylte agilely jumped tree-to-tree, leaping from a tree overhead and gracefully landing in front of me.

"Show-off." I grunted in frustration. This forest seemed endless; no roads, no paths, just endless identical trees and patches off grass. I let out a tired sigh and slumped onto a nearby tree, "I'm lost."

'I'm not lost.' Rylte giggled, leaping up onto a branch.

"How?"

'Because, I was wandering around and this weird Parrot thing attacked me and I was like; 'Your going down you duck!' and he was like 'I'm not a duck, I'm a Parrot.' And I was like 'no man… just no'. So I fought and I killed the evil dragon and was transformed into a mermaid.'

I stared at him in absolute shock. "Rylte you never cease to amaze me." I said sarcastically.

'And that is the story of how I got my new shoes.' Rylte concluded.

"Do you even think before you say something?" I groaned, why did my starter have to be insane.

'I was saying something?'

I facepalmed "Never mind…"

I glanced over my shoulder deeper into the forest. "Lets keep moving."

-In a matter of time…

A Weedle sprang out from the brush, again.

"Rylte." I commanded calmly.

Rylte sighed, sprang up and smashed the caterpillar back into the bushes with a speedy punch.

'Why do they keep leaping out like that… It didn't work the first time, or the second, the third hit the ground… and don't get me started about the Dr Graveler…'

I ignored his comment and pointed to a large purple moth that had emerged from the brush. "Rylte another one."

'Got it.'

Rylte started for the huge bug, but the strangest thing happened… It exploded in a burst of flame.

'Oh ma gawd! No more Dr Graveler...' Rylte shrieked, landing next to the unconscious moth.

I ran up and came face to face with a boy with spiky brown hair.

"Who are you?" He asked calmly.

I shrugged. "Some lost dude and his insane Pokemon."

The boy ignored me and proceeded to take out a small red device and scanned the moth. "I've already caught one." He muttered analyzing the screen.

I recognized the device almost immediately. "A Pokedex!"

He turned away from me and folded his arms as if he was in thought. Rylte wandered in front of me and greeted a small red lizard that stood by the boy's side. He did so in pokespeak so I didn't understand what he said. The lizard ignored his attempts at small talk.

The boy stared curiously at Rylte. "What Pokemon is this?" He asked, not even turning to face me.

I huffed in frustration "A Riolu. Do you know the way to Pewter city?"

"Find your own way. I'm busy." He said, walking off into the bushes.

I glanced at Rylte.

"What an Asshole."

'What an Asshole.'

I sighed, "He'll have to leave eventually… lets tail him."

I followed the boy and his lizard quietly into a clearing. Suddenly he snapped around to face me.

"What do you want?" He asked calmly, with a hostile glare.

"Directions?" I replied returning the glare, but with a cheeky smile on my face.

Suddenly, there was some noise in the bushes.

"Charmander." The boy commanded.

The lizard sprang forward and exhaled a stream of fire at the source of the noise.

A round blue Pokemon sprang out of the bushes, only to be consumed by the flame. The smoke cleared leaving an unconscious, smoking Poliwhirl.

I winced slightly at the sight of fire. "Was that necessary?" I asked glancing at the boy.

An excited voice rang out. "Did you catch it? Did you-"

A capped boy sprang out from the bushes, the second he laid eyes on his Pokemon he screamed.

"WHAT?" The capped boy dashed the Poliwhirl's side. "Poliwhirl!"

The spiky haired boy laughed. "So the Poliwhirl has an owner…"

The capped boy snapped around to face us, face contorted with rage.

"We thought it was a wild Pokemon when we attacked." He continued.

I frantically waved my hands at the spiky haired boy. "Don't bring me into this."

The spiky haired boy glanced at me. "You still here? I was talking about my Charmander."

I clenched my fists "Why you…"

He adverted his gaze back to the capped trainer. "Don't take it personally." He sneered.

The capped boy snarled rising to his feet. "YOU did this to my Poliwhirl?"

Being smart, I distanced myself from the spiky haired boy and indicated to the capped boy 'he's all yours'.

The capped boy charged at the spiky haired boy throwing a clumsy punch at him. "YOU'LL PAY!"

The spiky haired boy simply caught the blow. "Nonsense!"

He held the capped boy's fist moving it to an angle where he couldn't throw another punch. "We're both in this forest to capture Pokemon…"

"Hello? I'm right here?" I threw my arms dramatically in the air. Both boys acknowledged my presence for a moment, before turning back to face each other.

The spiky haired boy continued to talk to the capped one. "…So we're bound to cross paths sometime aren't we?"

The capped boy studied the Spiky haired boy for a moment. "Hey… You're…"

"Eh?"

"You're that guy!" The capped boy broke free and clenched his fists. "Why do you keep…-"

BOOOOOM

I looked around. "What was that?"

BOOOM

The spiky haired boy seemed to know. "Ahhh… So it's come, at last."

BOOM

I turned to face him. "What is coming!"

A huge brown Pokemon emerged from the brush, stomping through the thick bushes with ease.

I was closest to it. I raised my gaze slowly up to its head. "You have got to be kidding me…"

The capped boy held his head in his hands and screamed. I backed away from the huge Pokemon and glanced at Rylte, who was perched on a nearby tree branch.

"Rylte…?" I asked uneasily.

Rylte looked at the huge being and shrugged. 'Your on your own man.'

The spiky haired boy stared up at it and grinned. "I've been waiting for you, Kangaskahn!"

I dashed up to the boy. "You can't be serious in taking that thing on?"

"Oh, of course I'm serious." He chuckled.

I glanced at the Kangaskahn once more, then back at him and gave him a pat on the shoulder. "Good luck with that."

The spiky haired boy stared down the Kangaskahn. "I heard that you were here somewhere… But you did test my patience!" His Charmander leaped in front of him. "Charmander attack!"

The fire lizard released stream of fire at the Kangaskahn.

"Once I win, I'll be able to put its data in…" The spiky haired boy withdrew his Pokedex once more.

The capped boy cut in taking out his own device. "Hey! Th-That's…"

"A POKEDEX!" They exclaimed simultaneously.

I glanced at them both, then facepalmed. "You've got to be kidding me!"

The spiky haired boy erupted into another fit of laughter.

"What's so funny?" The capped boy questioned.

"My granddad told me he'd given a Pokedex to someone. So it turns out to be YOU…!"

"Gr-Grandad? You mean… Professor Oak?" The capped boy gasped.

I sniggered "That explains alot…"

The spiky haired boy snorted. "Though why he'd give a Pokedex to the likes of you…" He paused "Well, Never mind! I'll just show you how it's done." He glanced at me. "Both of you."

I rolled my eyes. "Thanks for the acknowledgement… I guess."

His Charmander continued to spray fire at the looming Kangaskahn.

"Charmander! Final blow!"

"GYAAAW!" The creature screamed in agony, it turned it's back to the flame. I hated seeing it, the fire, it reminded me of that night…

The spiky haired boy grinned and pulled a Pokeball out of his bag. "That should do it." He threw the ball at the creature's back. "YOUR MINE!"

The Kangaskahn, despite its burns, turned and beat the ball away.

I burst out laughing. "Catching a Pokemon Amma doin it right?" I teased.

The spiky haired boy snarled at me. "O- Okay then! One more!" He threw another ball at the Kangaskahn. It beat this away too.

I laughed harder, falling to the ground. "Stop please…" I gasped. "You killing me HAHAHA."

"SHUT UP!" He screamed at me.

The capped boy broke his silence. "There's…" The creature screamed as yet another fire attack struck it. "Something wrong…"

I wiped a tear from my eye and stood up. "What do ya mean?"

"It's strong enough to repel the Pokeball… but it isn't attacking…"

I thought about it. The Kangaskahn didn't retaliate… it was strange. "So what is wrong then?" I questioned.

The capped boy jumped up. "Of course that's it…!"

I raised an eyebrow "I'm not following…?"

The capped boy shot past me. "Quick stop the attack!"

The spiky haired boy rounded on him in frustration. "This Pokemon is mine. Don't think you'll steal it."

"You don't understand! It's…"

The spiky haired boy ignored him. "Charmander! Fight on!"

"But…!" The capped boy shook his head and charged forward. "Oh, just getta outta my way! Poliwhirl!" The capped boy pushed the spiky haired boy aside, sending his Poliwhirl forward.

"HEY! What the- what're you doing?"

The Poliwhirl blasted the Charmander with a water gun from behind. It yelped in alarm.

The capped boy rushed up to the badly burned Kangaskahn. "Are you okay?"

"Where do you think you're going, you-"

"Your baby… Is it all right!" The capped boy shouted, running to inspect the Kangaskahn's pouch.

The spiky haired boy's demeanor changed into one of confusion. "Eh?"

There was some movement in the creature's pouch. A sickly creature raised its head up from its mother's protective pouch.

"It's hurt…" The capped boy muttered. "Did a poison Pokemon get you?" he spoke softly to the mini- Kangaskahn.

'The Mother says it was attacked by an Ekans.' Rylte explained, leaping onto my shoulder.

I nodded in acknowledgment and returned my attention to the capped boy. "Rylte says that the baby was poisoned by an Ekans."

Both boys shot me surprised looks. I shrugged, "Rylte speaks through telepathy." Pointing at the Pokemon sprawled on my shoulder.

The capped boy nodded. "I've got just the thing." He pulled out a general anti-poison antidote from his bag and applied it the baby. The baby quickly seemed to shake off any ill affects of the poison. The spiky haired boy just looked on in shock.

The capped boy turned his attention up to the mother Kangaskahn. "No wonder you were protecting your middle. If the fire had hit it, your baby could've been really hurt."

The mother Kangaskahn grunted in approval and stomped back into the forest.

'Thank you.'

"Thank you." I translated through Rylte.

The spiky haired boy snorted. "Hmph. Thanks a lot!" … "If you hadn't butted in, I could have captured it…"

"Come on. You know it isn't really winning…" The capped boy said cheerfully. "If your opponent's at a disadvantage."

"Save your slogans." The spiky haired boy huffed and walked out of the clearing.

The capped boy followed. "Hey… wait up!"

"Finally! You're going to show me the exit!" I muttered sarcastically, stalking after them.

"My name's Red!" The capped boy proclaimed. "What's yours? Huh? Huh-?"

The spiky haired boy ignored Red and continued to walk through the growing-less-dense woodland.

"Well?"

The Spiky haired boy turned around and snapped. "If it will shut you up… My name's Green! Now leave me alone!"

"How charming…" I muttered.

Red turned to face me. "And what's your name?"

I blinked. "So I exist now huh?" I sighed. "Well, the name's Willow…"

"Okay…" Red muttered thoughtfully. "GREEN, WILLOW I'M NOT LOSING TO EITHER OF YOU!"

I clutched my ears protectively. "Dude! I'm right beside you!"

'Freaking psycho…' Rylte cursed, folding his floppy ears over his face.

He seemed to ignore me and continued to yell stupidly. "Y'HEAR ME, GREEN? I'M GONNA WIN!"

I slipped on some headphones I received for my birthday, I wasn't much of a music fan, but it was better than listening to Red's dramatic screams. I let out an exasperated sigh as Green walked out of sight and Red continued to laugh manically to himself. I sneaked away from the cackling moron and continued on my journey to Pewter city.

"Just wait… I will prove myself…" I muttered unconsciously.

'Evil Breadcats everywhere…' Rylte muttered dreamily as I walked.
