Well, I liked what I saw, and honestly these are too fun to not continue. Thanks for all of the reviews!
I am currently watching the anime through, so when I see something that I like I'll add a drabble about it. This is from right before episode 4.
Disclaimer: Ash may eventually become the greatest pokemon master, but I will never be the owner of Pokemon.
"Squirtle use bubble!" Gary's voice echoes through the vast forest as his squirtle jumps back and forth, getting closer to the weakened metapod.
The owner of the metapod is a young samurai with heavy armor and a bug catching net strapped to his back. As he watches the bubbles fly from the small turtle pokemon's mouth he realizes this match is just about over.
"Metapod use harden!" The metapod obeys it's master and it's body glows as it attempts to make it's body as hard as steel. However, metapod is weak from the rest of the battle and finds itself rolled onto its back as the bubbles blast into its side.
The samurai walks over to his now unconscious metapod, a sad smile on his face. "That was a great battle."
Gary calls back his squirtle with a brief nod of approval and a grin. "It certainly was."
Behind him, Gary's cheerleaders erupt into an explosion of celebration and excitement.
"Excuse me young trainer, but where are you from?" The samurai cradles his metapod to his chest as he asks his questions, genuinely curious.
"Pallet Town," Gary's response is curt as he wishes to think more about his future than his past. "I'll go back there one day when I am a pokemon master." Gary glances over his shoulder, hiding the mix of expressions that crossed his face from the other trainer. "I should probably get going."
Gary goes to walk away, but only takes one step before turning back. "If you see another trainer from Pallet Town, you should challenge him to a battle. He's a moron, a loudmouth, a know it all, and will probably get himself killed before he even reaches this forest…" Gary trails off, not wanting to say much more to this person whom he just met. "Anyway, you should challenge him, he's probably grown quite strong since leaving Pallet Town."
The samurai nods silently and watches in confusion as the brown haired boy rejoins his entourage. All he knows is he is excited to meet this other boy from Pallet Town.
I think this one was a little longer. I definitely think Gary would recommend the samurai from episode 4 to battle Ash, and of course he has to do it in a cute Gary-like way.
So yea… this is now going to be a drabble collection.
