Route One.May 22nd. 3:30pm"God how are we still not there yet, it's been 3 hours and we're not even close"I whined as I hung my head and kept walking slowly as pikachu sweat dropped due to my childishness.
"well no matter because I will just ask for directions." I said emphatically startling pikachu and sending off my shoulder onto the ground.
"oh sorry buddy"I said hoping I wouldn't be zapped by him. "how about we stop for lunch and we can try to figure out where we are? "I asked as I picked up my mouse Pokémon.
"pika"he said excitedly at the prospect of food.
"ok then I'll just get my food and we can. "I started before being cut off by an explosion in the distance.
"ooh more hero shiz, come on pikachu"I said before running off in the direction of the smoke from the explosion.
"pika pi"pikachu said as if to say 'here we go again' before running after me.
I could get used to the feeling I have(Ross, Brooklyn and 2 people, a girl and a male, in sillouetes stand while holding pokèballs and pikachu stands on Ross's shoulder)
I hope that we continue together(the group walks down a path and laughs together)
I only wish the day could be longer(the group lies next to a campfire at night as a shooting star goes past)
but together we can make it(Ross,Brooklyn, and the girl hold a trophy each while the male looks on proudly)
I hope that we can do it(Ross looks down at the ground conflicted while pikachu lies on the ground injured and struggling to stand)
but as long as I have you(the rest of the group grab Ross, Brooklyn his hand, girl his left shoulder and male his right shoulder, and smiles)
I can reach the stars(Ross lifts his head and smiles and gives a command to pikachu)
so let's give it our all(pikachu unleashes a thunderbolt into the screen)
and we will be victorious( three Pokémon drop down beside pikachu and use scald, gust and string shot on the screen)
together we will be(the group stand with their Pokémon in front of the logo)
champions(the logo expands and the screen turns to black)
Route One. May 22nd. 3:40pm
"hello is anyone over here?"I said as I ran into a open space lake in the distance and saw two people with 3 Pokémon in front of them, a small cat that stood on two legs and had a gold coin on it's head, a purple snake like creature and a flycatcher looking thing with a brown vine on it's head, two leaves acting as hands and a gaping mouth.the trainers were both wearing white shirts and trousers with the girl's being midriff and black gloves and boots along with a large red 'R' on the shirts. the male had jet black shaggy hair and a purple rose in his hand and the girl had purple hair that came down to her shoulders. they stood in front of a girl with a blue T-shirt and black short shorts along with white suspenders and ginger hair with a side ponytail with a brown starfish with a blinking red gem in the middle of it's body.
"ok what are all they"I said while pulling out my pokèdex and scanning the star first.
"staryu the star shape Pokémon. if you go to a beach at the end of summer, the glowing cores of staryu look like the stars in the sky"the pokèdex explained.
"now that one"I said while pointing it at the cat.
"meowth the scratch cat Pokémon. Meowth loves to roam at night looking for shiny objects and spends most of the day sleeping"the pokèdex explained.
"that is an insult to my species we actually spend some of the day awake."the meowth said to my shock.
"holy flareon a talking meowth"I shouted having lost all volume control.
"yes yes I talk can we move along"it said in a bored tone as if it had heard that a million times.
"OK then, what's that then? " I asked slowly getting over the shock and scanning the snake.
"ekans the snake Pokémon. ekans sneaks through the grass and strikes prey from behind"the pokèdex explained.
"and the last one"I said scanning the flycatcher.
"weepinbell the flycatcher Pokémon. weepinbell hooks onto branches to sleep on during the night using it's hook like branch and may wake up on the ground if it moves too much"the pokèdex explained before I put it away and finally focused on the dressed up guys.
"so what exactly is the trouble with the explosion?" I asked and the trio smirked at my comment.
"did you say trouble'?"the man asked.
"yeah?"I said confused.
"well then we have to do the motto"the girl said as they stood back to back and meowth stood in front of them.
"what?"I questioned.
"oh Arceus no"the Ginger girl said as if she knew what was going to happen.
"prepare for for trouble, it's you vs me"the girl said.
"and make it double, cause that fills me with glee"the male said.
"to protect the world from devastation"the girl said.
"to unite all peoples within our nation"the male said.
"Amy"the girl said.
"Trent"the man said.
"team rocket blasts off at the speed of light"Amy said.
"surrender now or prepare to fight"Trent said.
"meowth that's right"meowth finished.
"what was that"I said while sweatdropping due to how lame that was.
"welcome to my world for the past two hours"the Ginger girl said.
"I'm so sorry"I said with a sympathetic look on my face.
"hey get back to the matter at hand, us stealing your Pokémon"the woman yelled.
"ok well in that case come get some bitches"I said while sending out squirtle and pikachu leapt down onto the ground beside him.
"oh isn't that cute the twerp thinks he can take us on"trent remarked.
"the twerp can and the twerp will"I said mockingly."oh by the way I'm Ross"I shouted to the Ginger girl.
"misty"she shouted back.
"introductions aside let's get them.squirtle use water gun on ekans and pikachu use quick attack on weepinbell." I shouted before squirtle shot a blast of water at the ekans and pikachu took off at the weepinbell with white energy trailing behind him.
"ekans use dig"Amy yelled. ekans shrunk to the ground and burrowed under as the water gun shot harmlessly overhead.
"razor leaf go"Trent shouted. weepinbell launched a flurry of sharp leaves from it's arms at pikachu who was approaching him fast.
"squirtle, aim water gun down the hole and use thunderbolt while you run pikachu"I shouted. squirtle aimed his head down at the hole and water began to rush down into ekans' hole and pikachu shot off a blast of electricity at the razor leaf and fried it before the bolt continued on to zap weepinbell and pikachu slammed into him sending him skidding back and ekans burst from the ground drenched in water and glaring at squirtle.
"use acid"both rocket members shouted. both weepinbell and ekans opened their mouths and shot a stream of violet coloured liquid at squirtle and pikachu.
"Dodge it quick"I shouted. both my Pokémon sprang into the air and the acid hit the ground where they were standing.
"now use scald and thunderbolt"I said. plan kachu and squirtle both shot a blast at ekans and weepinbell ,electricity and steaming water, respectively and both Pokémon we're hit but only ekans was knocked out.
"now use rapid spin and quick attack." I yelled. pikachu and squirtle landed on the ground and shot off at weepinbell while they were spinning or an white aura trailed behind them and slammed into weepinbell knocking it out.
"urgh meowth do something"Amy shouted.
"right, feast on my slash attack"meowth shouted before his claws grew and glowed a vibrant white and he ran at pikachu and squirtle ready to slash them.
"use tail whip and knock him back"I shouted. pikachu spun on his heels and slammed his tail into meowtg and he was sent flying back by the impact as he glowed blue for a second.
"now use bubblebeam"I shouted. squirtle breathed in and exhaled dramatically sending a flurry of blue glowing bubbles at meowty sending him into his comrades with swirly eyes.
"did I do good?"he asked dazed.
"no you were awful, but it looks like we have to retreat"trent said while picking up. meowth and recalling weepinbell before running off.
"you haven't seen the last of us"Amy said while recalling ekans and running off along with Trent.
"that's what I'm afraid of"I said with a sweat drop.
"so what'd you think"misty said as she walked over.
"complete clowns"I said with a smirk.
"totally"she said back.
"oh we were gonna have some lunch wouwould you care to join us? "I asked while turning back to the way I came from.
"where are you going, viridian is only about 10 minutes in that direction." Misty said while pointing in the opposite direction of which I was going.
"so I would have found it if I just kept walking? "I said dreading the answer.
"basically yeah"she said"but then we might not have met"misty said.
"eh true, so would you like to go get something to eat in viridian and maybe we could have a battle?"I asked.
"sure sounds great"she said with a giggle.
"alright then let's go"I shouted after recalling squirtle.
"sure"misty said and she started to walk in the direction of viridian city.
"haha alright race you!" I shouted before pikachu jumped on my shoulder and I ran off ahead of misty.
"wha- hey, get back here." Misty shouted as she ran after me.
Viridian city. may 22nd. 4:35pm
so this is Viridian city"I said while wandering around and taking in the sights.
"yes, yes, very impressive but if you want to get something to eat the Pokémon centre is your best choice." Misty explained before grabbing my wrist and pulling me to the centre.
"Christ ok I get the point stop it"I sgoure trying to break free."God, you are really strong"I remarked as the centre came into view.
'oh sweet jesus freedom' I thought as we aplraoched the center and Misty released my arm at last.
"and there we are, now hurry up"she said while walking in.
"what did I get us into buddy? "I asked pikachu who was still on my shoulder.
"pika pi"he shrugged but indifferent.
"aren't you a big help"I said sarcastically."well we may as well go in,I'm sure you and squirtle are tired."I said before walking in. The Pokémon center had a large lobby with a desk in the middle against the back was and a few couches and chairs to the left for trainers to sit down. to the right was a hallway leading to the café, training room and the trainer rooms.walking go to the desk I saw a woman with a nurse's outfit on and pink hair in a complicated style. beside her was a pink ovoid Pokémon with a pouch on it's stomach containing an egg.
"hello and welcome to the Pokémon center, how may I help you?"the nurse asked with a sweet smile on her face.
"um hi could you check my Pokémon for injuries please and could you also check my egg over?"I asked timidly while pikachu leapt off my shoulder onto the counter and I put squirtle's pokèball and the egg container on the counter as well.
"of course I'd be happy to"she said while she took my Pokémon and chansey took my egg.
"wait what is that Pokémon?"I asked while scanning the pink Pokémon.
"chansey the egg Pokémon. chandey lay several eggs a day but won't share them with anyone with evil in their hearts."the pokèdex explained. as if to prove the pokèdex's point chansey took it's egg out of it's pouch and handed it to me.
"wow thanks but here you take it back"I said handing the egg back to chansey.
"ok come get some food the café is almost empty."misty said as she stood nest to the entrance for the café.
"right why don't you save us a seat and I'll get us some food?"I said as we walked in.
"ok I'll have a salad and some fries with a orange soda."she said as she walked over to an empty 2 seat table.
"right."I said walking over to the kitchen area.
"hi could I get a salad with fries and an orange soda as well as some fries and a plate of ribs with a coke and a bottle if ketchup?" I asked the chef as I approached.
"of course young man"the chef said."here you go"while handing me the food plates on two trays.
"thanks a lot"I said before walking over to where misty was sat.
"order up"I said while giving her the tray with her food on it and sitting down across from her.
"thanks, so what are you on a journey for?"she asked before taking a bite of her salad.
"I'm on a journey to become a Pokémon champion"I exclaimed before tucking into my fries."what about you?"I asked her.
"I heard about some water type tournaments being held all over kanto so I decided to enter, I was training at the lake when team rocket showed up and attacked me."misty explained.
"and that's when I turned up"I said.
"right"misty said.
"so does that mean your a water type trainer?"I asked while misty ate some of her fries.
"right I am in fact I'm one of the gym leaders of cerulean city"she said proudly.
"really? "I asked."in that case I'll hold off our battle for a while"I said while taking a drink and eating a rib.
"why, I mean I have some badges in my bag we could have a gym battle if you want."she said before finishing off the last bit of her salad.
"simple I don't feel that me and my team are ready to fight a gym leader yet"I explained."it's not that I don't believe in them but I've been a trainer for a day and you've been training for much longer than me.so I don't want to put pikachu and squirtle through that only to lose"I finished as I finished off my fries.
"ok then how about I come with you on your journey"she said simply shocking me.
"wait why?"I asked.
"because you seem like a fun person to hang out with and plus if I travel with you then you can get a badge from me any time."she explained before finishing off her fries.
"that's incentive enough for me"I said while extending my hand."glad to have you along"I said.
"glad to be here"she said while taking my hand.
"and I'll get that badge from you"I said while pulling her in closer.
"go-ahead and try"she said back. we started to eat in silence for a bit before a singing sound rang through the cafe and the intercom came to life.
"will Ross McCreath please come to the front desk. your Pokémon are fully healed"the voice said.
"well that's my cue, should I get a couple rooms while I'm there?"I asked while standing up.
"yeah that should be great,and we can explore before turning in for the night"misty said before standing up and walking to the entrance."I'll meet you outside.
"cool see you there"I said while walking up to the desk in the lobby.
"hello Ross here are your Pokémon, I'm pleased to say they have made a full recovery"nurse joy said while handing me squirtle's pokèball and pikachu leapt onto my shoulder.
"and what about my egg?"I akded as I rubbed pikachu's head.
"yes your egg is perfectly healthy and you can expect it to hatch within the next 2 weeks."nurse joy explained as cahnsey handed me my egg.
"thanks nurse joy oh and could I get two rooms for the night please?"I asked as I pit by egg into my bag.
"of course here you go"she said handing me two key cards.
"thanks nurse joy." I said taking the cards.
"is that all?"she asked.
"yeah this is great, thanks again"I said before walking outside to see misty standing waiting for me.
"hey Mist, here's your key"I said giving her one of the cards.
"Thanks Ross, so where do you want to go?"she asked as we started to walk away from the Pokémon center.
"well how about we go shopping"I said.
"what!?"she exclaimed coming to an abrupt stop.
"what's up?I asked stopping as well.
"I've just never met a guy who willingly wants to go shopping."she said.
"well now you have"I said while taking off for the mall.
Viridian mall may 22nd. 5:25pm
ah I'm home"I sighed as I walked into a clothes store.
"strange that's something I'd probably say"Misty remarked as she walked in behind me.
"ok so how about we split up and meet at the changing rooms in about 15 minutes?"I proposed.
"sure"misty said before turning and walking to the girls section.
"Cmon buddy"I said while walking to the male section and immediately shooting over to the jeans section and picking out a pair that was a darker blue than the ones I was currently wearing.
'Hmnn my shirt doesn't go with this'I thought.'Got it' and with that I raced over to the jacket and shirts section. looking through the selection I picked out a blue long sleeve jacket with a detachable hood and a black T-shirt underneath.
"Perfect"I said and took my items to try them on. As I approached the changing rooms I saw Misty coming out of one with a yellow unzipped hoodie and a red shirt as well as blue jeans and white sneakers.
""Hey Mist"I said as I walked over.Misty turned with a shout before blushing slightly seeing it was me.
"I like your new clothes, you thinking of buying them?"I asked as I walked to the changing room next to her."ok bud you stay here with Misty and I'll be out in a minute." I said before walking inti the room while pikachu sat on Misty's shoulder. after a minute I cane out of the room wearing my new clothes and holding my old Ines in my arms.
"so what do you think?"I asked my Pokemon and Misty.
"Not bad"Misty said nodding her head.
"Pi ka pika"pikachu agreed hopping into my shoulder again.
"well should we go pay for these?"I asked while picking up my bag.
"Ross wait"Misty said.
"Huh what's up?"I said turning back to face misty.
"I just don't think I'm comfortable buying these"she said with tears in her eyes.
"Your not comfy in a hoosie and jeans but a vest top and shorts are the best ever?" I said sarcastically.
"Shut up"She said softly while punching me half heartedly on the arm.
"Cmon how about a pact, if you buy those clothes I'll buy these ones"I wagered."What to you say?" I asked while holding out my hand.
"Ok then"misty said and grabbed my hand before I pulled her along to the register before seeing a black backpack with a strap designed to go over the chest.
"Hey, think I should buy this?"I asked pointing at the bag.Misty followed my gaze and looked at the bag for a minute before grabbing it and handing it to me.
"yeah it would suit your new outfit"she said."plus more suited for travelling than the one strap you have.
"fair enough."I aid and we approached the self register which scanned both of us to identify which items we had to pay for and came up with a payment screen so Misty and I each scanned our trainer cards which were basically credit cards but also our IDs.we then left the store with our old clothes in our bags and left to check our other stores.we walked into one called 'Trainer essentials' looking for a tent and sleeping bags since I had neither yet. but while looking I saw some rectangular grey box things and called misty over asking what they were.
"they're called compartment storage."she explained."its designed by the silph company and it is basically a pokèball but for regular items so you can carry tables, pots,pans and tents"she finished and picked one up, putting it in my hands."This one will hold up to 20 kilograms, should be plenty."she finished and walked off in search of tents and sleeping bags again.
may 22nd. Viridian City. 8:30 pm
"finally back"I said as I walked into my room and dropped off my new bag and walked over to the video phone. the room was pretty nice, a single bed, ensuite bathroom with a bath and shower and a video phone in the corner on the desk. sitting down at the desk I dialled my home number and waited a few seconds before Ariel turned up on the screen with a smile on her face.
"hey geek"she said warmly.
"hey dweeb"I said back. "miss me yet?"I asked in a micking voice.
"not even slightly"she said.
"I miss you too"I said."I need to send back my bag and old outfit"I said.
"why what happened?"she asked face turning to a scowl.
"nothing I just got a better one for traveling"I said quickly."will you take them back or not?"I asked.
"sure but tommorow when the center's phone is open."she said.
"ok gotta go, misty will be waiting"I said.
"oh, who's misty?"she said with a sly smirk.
"a friend, and nothing else"I said simply.
"You sure?"she questioned getting closer to the screen.
"Bye"I said before hanging up. When I turned around I saw Misty standing St the doorway in her new clothes looking unsure.
"Hey is everything ok?" I asked worried.
"yeah I guess but im still not sure about these clothes.
"alright come stand in frintmof the mirror"I said while pulling Misty over.
"now who do you see?" I asked while misty stared at herself.
"I see me"she said.
"exactly, no matter shat you wear you don't change"I said standing next to her."For example I changed clothes and I'm still the same."I explained while gesturing to my new outfit.
"you're right"Misty said before giving a big grin and hugging me."Thanks Ross"she said softly.
"No problem"I said returning the hug.
"ok so why don't we get some sleep and we can head out around 10 tomorrow?"I asked before breaking the hug.
"sure sounds good, meet a t the cafe at about 8:30?"she asked before turning to leave.
"right, goodnight"I said.
"night"Misty said shutting the door behind her.
"God hell of a first day, huh buddy?"I asked pikachu as I changed into my pyjamas.
"pika"he agreed nodding and hopping into the bed and curling up at the foot.
"But I wouldn't trade it for the world"I said while laying down before going to sleep.
