02 = The Spark of a New Friendship
Day 1 - 18:32 - Route 1
Not much has happened since Jack defeated Youngster Joey. He has seen and defeated 3 other Rattatas and is getting close to Viridian City where he'll challenge the gym. Right now he has just found a brown pigeon. Charmander was out and was getting ready for battle while Jack used the Pokedex.
Pidgey, the tiny bird Pokemon. A common sight in forests and woods. It flaps its wings at ground level to kick up blinding sand.
"Well, no practice is a waste of time I guess," muttered Jack. "Charmander, are you up to it?"
"Char char," nodded Charmander.
"Pidge!" shrieked the flying type before flying up into the sky. It then started flapping its wings to create a powerful gust of wind and sent it flying straight towards Charmander.
"Dodge it and use Ember," said Jack. Charmander just about dodged it by diving to its right and then took a deep breath before shooting a small ball of fire at Pidgey. The tiny bird easily flew out of the way and created another gust of wind and launched it at Charmander again.
The fire type was hit by the wind and cried, "Char!" in pain. The Pidgey now flew towards the ground and flapped its wings creating a cloud of sand and launched it at Charmander. The cloud hit Charmander and the sand got in it's eyes. He glowed blue for a second before crying, "Char char."
"There goes are accuracy," whispered Jack. "Scratch!"
"Char!" shouted Charmander as it slashed in front of him but Pidgey simply moved to the side to avoid the attack.
"Pidge pidge," laughed the wild Pidgey at how easily it was defeating the new trainers Pokemon. It then charged head first into Charmander sending him rolling backwards.
"This is hopeless, the Pidgey has the advantage since he can fly away from any of our attacks," thought Jack. "Wait a second, in our battle with Bill he had Squirtle jump on Charmander to stop him from moving around." "Charmander jump on Pidgey!"
"Char," smiled Charmander before he jumped forwards. The wild Pokemon tried to fly away but Charmander grabbed its talon just in time.
"Pidgey!" squawked the Pidgey as he tried kicking Charmander off but to no avail.
"Scratch now!" shouted Jack. Charmander slashed at Pidgey's belly but finally the tiny bird kicked him off. Instinctively Charmander took a deep breath mid-air before shooting a small ball of fire at Pidgey.
The flying type cried, "Pidge pidge," as it fell into a nearby tree and then could be seen flying away quickly.
"Too bad it got away, it would have been a great addition to our team," muttered Jack.
"Charmander," nodded Charmander.
After looking at the sky Jack said, "It's getting dark, we should set up camp for the night."
Day 1 - 19:02 - Route 1
After setting up his small tent, Jack got Charmander to light a fire using nearby sticks. Right now he was holding a pot filled with soup over the fire as Charmander ate some Pokemon food.
"I haven't eaten all day," said Jack. "Have you?"
"Char," replied Charmander.
Jack sighed before saying, "I never thought a Pokemon journey would be this lonely, not that you're terrible company Charmander but because I can't talk to you like I could talk to my family and friends."
"Charman," said Charmander sadly. He could feel just how sad his trainer felt. "I can understand what he says but he can't understand me."
The duo ate their meals in silence until Jack finished and said, "Well it's getting late now, we should get some sleep since we have an early start tomorrow." Jack returned Charmander to it's Pokeball and packed his stuff away before closing the tent and went to sleep in his sleeping bag.
Day 2 - 08:39 - Route 1
After waking up early Jack packed up his tent and stuffed it in his backpack. As he didn't want Charmander to be too tired for battle Jack decided to let the fire type sleep. Right now he was walking down the last hill and was soon going to be in Viridian City.
"Nearly there," muttered Jack.
"Hey there stranger!" called a voice. Jack looked ahead to see a girl running towards him. She had a red shirt that had a white Pokeball design on it and black trousers. Her shoes are red and black and she has a blue charm bracelet around her right wrist. Her hair is blonde and she has a pink headband in her hair. She has red eyes and freckles on her cheeks. "You're not from here are you?"
"No," said Jack. "I'm Jack Leos from Pallet Town."
"Oh yeah, you're one of those kids who got their first Pokemon yesterday aren't you?" asked the girl. Jack replied by nodding. "I read about you on Professor Oak's blog."
"Professor Oak has a blog?" started Jack, "and I'm in it?"
The girl laughed and said, "I'm Chloe Harper, I live in Viridian City."
"Great, do you mind showing me where the gym is?" asked Jack. "I hope to challenge it."
"I could but it'd be a waste of time since the gym leader is gone," replied Chloe. "I think he's in some place called Alola."
"Oh, I've been to Alola once on holiday," said Jack disappointedly. "I guess I'll train on route 22 until he comes back."
"Actually he won't be back for another two months," explained Chloe but after seeing the disappointment on Jack's face she said, "Sorry."
"No it's not your fault the gym leader has better things to do than run his gym," said Jack.
"I guess not," whispered Chloe before she got an idea, "If you want I could show you around Viridian City?"
"I guess it couldn't hurt to look around," shrugged Jack. "Though I still want to get some training in today."
"Great," said Chloe before she grabbed his hand and ran off towards the large city. "Here we go!"
"Wait, wait!" shouted Jack barely keeping up with the young girl. "Slow down!"
Day 2 - 09:10 - Viridian City
"So here's the mall and over there is a tasty restaurant and over th-" explained Chloe but was interrupted by Jack.
"Can I *pant* have one second to *pant* catch my breath?" panted Jack before he collapsed onto his knees. "How do you *pant* run around half an hour and *pant* still have so much energy?"
"I like to keep fit, sue me," said Chloe as she sat down on a nearby bench.
Jack got up and sat beside Chloe on the bench and said, "Wait so we've seen the a Pokemart, a yummy burger place, a mall, a tasty taco place, the Pokemon Centre, a five star cafe, the gym, a delicious hotdog place, the best sweet shop ever and where the best ice cream truck in this entire region is always parked."
"Don't forget the new steak place," said Chloe in a defensive tone. "It has the best steak ever."
"That's a lot of restaurants," said Jack.
"Well we all have to eat," defended Chloe.
"What about all the other stuff like that police station?" asked Jack still slightly panting.
"It isn't that important."
"What makes the steak place more important than the police station?" sighed Jack.
"I can't buy a tasty steak in the police station can I?" laughed Chloe.
"I knew it'd be something like that." muttered Jack as he stood up. "Hey now that we've seen the city can you show me where the entrance to route 22 is?"
"Sure, I'll take you there," announced Chloe as she jumped to her feet.
"Ummm," mumbled Jack.
"Don't worry we don't have to run," giggled Chloe.
"Thanks," said Jack and the two walked off down the road.
Day 2 - 09:23 - Route 22
"Thanks for bringing me here," thanked Jack.
"Yeah sure," muttered Chloe. "Jack I was wondering, do you want me to help you train?"
"That'd be great thanks," said Jack.
"One on one rules?" asked Chloe.
"Sure," said Jack. "Go Charmander!" For the first time today Charmander was released from it's Pokeball.
"Char!"
"Pichu, the stage is yours!" shouted Chloe.
"Pichu pi!" cried the yellow creature.
"Isn't he the cutest thing you've ever seen?" squealed Chloe as she picked him up and hugged him tightly. He affectionatly licked Chloe's cheek.
"Pichu," muttered Jack as he took out his Pokedex.
Pichu, the tiny mouse Pokemon. No other data availabe.
"What?" asked Jack.
"That's a Kanto Pokedex and Pichu is from Johto," explained Chloe as she set down Pichu. "I got Pichu as an egg from my parents."
"Oh I see," said Jack. "So I have to get it updated to the Johto Pokedex before I can scan Pichu."
"Yep," smiled Chloe. "Now that that's out of the way let's start the battle."
Jack and Charmander VS Chloe and Pichu
"Quickly use Charm!" ordered Chloe without a seconds hesitastion.
"Counter with Scratch!" shouted Jack.
Pichu created a pink heart in it's hands and threw it and Charmander but the lizard Pokemon used it's claws to cut the heart into four pieces.
"Thundershock and don't hold back!"
"Ember full power!"
"Pichu," cried Pichu as it fired a small bolt of lightning at Charmander who took a deep breath before shooting a small ball of fire from its mouth. As the attacks collided both trainers had to shield their eyes from the light before it exploded causing the field to be covered in dust.
"Now's our chance Charmander, use Scratch!" cried Jack. Using the light provided from its tail flame Charmander searched for Pichu.
"This is bad, Pichu can't see with this dust here but Charmander can using his flame," thought Chloe. "Get ready Pichu."
"Pi," nodded Pichu as it tried to see through the dust. Finally it noticed a light coming closer in the distance.
"Thundershock," said Chloe.
"Pichu!" shouted the electric type as it fired a small bolt of lightning at the light.
"Char!" screamed Charmander as it hit the ground after the attack hit.
"Charmander are you ok?" asked Jack.
"Char," replied Charmander as he got up. The dust cleared away and Jack saw electricity passing around his body.
"He's paralyzed," explained Chloe. "He may not be able to dodge or attack."
"Great," muttered Jack. "Charmander they may have the advantage now but I know we can win!"
"Char!" nodded Charmander.
"Ember!"
Charmander took a deep breath before shooting a small ball of fire at Pichu. The electric type tried to dodge but was hit. "Pichu," moaned the tiny mouse in pain as he was covered in scorch marks.
"Fight back with Charm!" cried Chloe.
"Pichu!" shouted Pichu as it created a pink heart and sent it flying at Charmander. The fire type tried to dodge but the electricty held it in place. Once it made contact with Charmander, he glowed blue for a second.
"Char char," he cried in pain.
"If this keeps up Charmander will faint soon," thought Jack. "Charmander try an Ember attack."
Charmander took a deep breath before shooting a small ball of fire at Pichu. Pichu couldn't avoid the attack and was sent flying up a tree.
"Pichu pi pi," mumbled Pichu dreamily from a branch.
"I guess you win Jack," admitted Chloe.
"Thanks, it was a good match," said Jack. "We learned a lot."
"Mankey!" screamed a voice and two white monkeys jumped out of the cover of the leaves and on to the branch Pichu was lying on.
"Who's that Pokemon?" asked Jack as he took out his Pokedex.
Mankey, the pig monkey Pokemon. It's unsafe to approach if it gets violently enraged for no reason and can't distinguish friends from foes.
"This can't be good," said Jack.
"Man man!" screamed the Mankeys before they kicked Pichu off of the tree.
"Pichu!" screamed Pichu as it hit the ground.
"Oh no Pichu," cried Chloe. The Mankeys jumped down and continued to kick Pichu.
"Don't worry we'll save him," announced Jack. "Ember!"
Charmander took a deep breath but instead of shooting a small fireball, electricity surrounded him. "Char!"
"The paralysis is holding him back," muttered Jack.
"Wait, I have a paralyze heal in my bag," explained Chloe as she opened her bag and took out a yellow bottle. "Here you go." She tossed the bottle at Jack who caught it and sprayed Charmander with it.
"Char char," smiled Charmander as the electricity went away.
"Thanks Chloe," said Jack. "Now let's give Ember another try!"
Charmander took a deep breath before shooting a small ball of fire at the Mankeys. It hit them and they cried, "Man!" before running away.
"We did it Charmander!" shouted Jack as he hugged the starter Pokemon.
"Char char!" shouted the fire type as it climbed onto Jack's shoulder.
"Pichu are you ok?" asked Chloe as she walked up to the injured electric type.
"Pi pi," it moaned.
"We have to get it to a Pokemon Center quickly," explained Jack.
"You're right," agreed Chloe and she picked up Pichu and the two trainers ran towards Viridian City.
Day 2 - 10:00 - Viridian City
While waiting for their Pokemon to be healed in the Pokemon Center Jack and Chloe got talking about what their goal for the future is.
"I want to be the strongest trainer in the whole world," explained Jack, "and to do that I need to defeat all gym leaders and every trainer in the world."
"Wow, the whole world," murmured Chloe. "That'd take a while."
"That's what makes it fun," said Jack. "So what do you want to do?"
"I want to be the best Pokemon coordinator that ever lived."
"Isn't a coordinator someone who dances around on stage?" asked Jack.
"It's more than that," started Chloe, "It's when a trainer and their Pokemon perform on stage in contests in perfect harmony. I've always been interested in Pokemon coordinating."
"Well can I watch you and your Pokemon perform in one of these contests?" asked Jack.
"Well you can't watch me in an official contest because there are none going on in this city at the minute, but you can watch me practice," explained Chloe.
"Okay," said Jack and the two ran outside and on to the battle field.
Day 2 - 10:15 - Viridian City
Now that they were on the battlefield, Chloe sent out her other Pokemon to show off her contest skills.
"Jigglypuff, the stage is yours!" she shouted as she released a pink, round creature.
"Jiggly," said the pink creature. Jack used his Pokedex.
Jigglypuff, the balloon Pokemon. It captivates foes with its huge, round eyes, then lulls them to sleep by singing a soothing melody.
"Okay start off by using Play Nice," commanded Chloe.
"Jigg," cried Jigglypuff as she jumped high in the air and started floating. She then created stars of all different colours that started floating around her. "Jiggly!"
"Now use Sing," ordered Chloe.
"Jigglypuff jiggly jigglypuff," sang Jigglypuff as it released multi-coloured musical notes from its mouth. The notes and stars blew up upon contact with each other creating dazzling fireworks.
"Wow this is amazing," praised Jack still looking at the fireworks.
"Time to use that move we've been practising," explained Chloe.
"Puff," agreed Jigglypuff.
"Use Echoed Sing!" ordered Chloe.
"Echoed Sing?" asked Jack.
"Jigglypuff!" shouted the normal type as it released a long stream of multi-coloured sound waves into the sky. Not only was it a great sight but there was music too in the sound waves.
"This is amazing," gawked Jack in amazement.
"Thanks," said Chloe. "We've been practising for a long time now."
"Jiggly," nodded Jigglypuff as it landed on the ground.
"You were amazing Jigglypuff," said Jack.
"Puff puff," smiled Jigglypuff.
"May I ask, what was with that Echoed Sing move, I've never heard of it before?" asked Jack.
"Oh that," started Chloe, "That was a combo move, you know when you use two moves at the same time to create a more powerful move? They're used all the time in contests."
"Puff puff," nodded Jigglypuff.
"That's cool, I might use combo moves myself," said Jack.
A voice from the microphones on the Pokemon Center asked, "Could Jack Leos and Chloe Harper please report to the front desk?"
"I guess are Pokemon are ready," shrugged Jack.
"Yeah," agreed Chloe. "Return Jigglypuff."
"Jiggly," said the balloon Pokemon as she was returned to its Pokeball.
Day 2 - 10:33 - Viridian City
"Here you are," said the nurse as she handed them a tray that had two Pokeballs on it.
"Thanks," said Jack as he took one and clipped it onto his belt.
"Yeah thanks a lot," said Chloe as she took the remaining Pokeball and released the Pokemon inside. "Pichu, the stage is yours!"
"Pichu!" cried Pichu energetically as it jumped onto Chloe's shoulder.
"Does Pichu always stay out of it's Pokeball?" asked Jack as he handed the nurse her tray back.
The two trainers started walking away as Chloe answered. "Usually, he wasn't out this morning because I wanted to let him rest."
"I was thinking about letting Charmander stay out of his Pokeball, but decided against it as he could get thrown into water," explained Jack as they walked outside.
"That seems a little dramatic," laughed Chloe.
"Maybe but it doesn't hurt to be safe," defended Jack.
"I guess sometimes," admitted Chloe.
"Well, thanks for helping me train," said Jack, "but I better get going."
"About that," began Chloe.
"Yeah," said Jack.
"I was wondering, maybe we could travel with each other?" asked Chloe. "I could help you train and it would be the perfect opportunity for me to compete in contests all around Kanto."
"Sure we could travel together," smiled Jack. "I wanted someone to talk to on my journey anyway."
"Great I'll just go get my stuff from my house and get ready," explained Chloe. "Meet you on the start of route 2 at one o'clock?"
"Okay," said Jack. "It takes her three hours to get ready? This is going to be a long trip."
Day 2 - 11:17 - Route 22
While Chloe was getting ready Jack and Charmander were training on route 22 to pass the time.
"Charmander, want to try this combo move thing?" asked Jack.
"Char char," replied Charmander enthusiastically.
"Great so I was thinking," started Jack, "we'll use Ember and Scratch at the same time to create Fire Scratch."
"Char!" cheered Charmander. It immediately took a deep breath before shooting a small ball of fire at its claws which resulted in it groaning in pain. "Mander," while its hand got covered in scorch marks.
"Well that didn't work," muttered Jack. "Which means we just have to try again and again until we get it right."
"Char," agreed Charmander.
Just then there was rustling in a nearby bush and Jack saw two blood red eyes staring up at him angrily.
"What the h-" started Jack but was stopped when it leaped out of the bush right towards him too fast to see. It struck him in the chest hard before running away prompting Charmander to chase after him.
"Charmander!"
"Wait Charmander!" called Jack as he ran after his only Pokemon.
