-ROUTE 1, 7:40 A.M.-


The man sighed in a relaxed way.

An uphill road faced him, filled with grassy plains and trees surrounding the route. PIDGEYs hid in the waist-high grass, foraging for food such as small bugs and the like, and RATTATAs could be seen gnawing on trees to whittle their ever-growing teeth. Tall ledges posed a hard time for going north, with few areas where the road actually broke them, leaving a rather S-like trail to be followed.

RED looked at a POKéBALL in his hand. It grew to baseball size, then shrank back to marble size. He wasn't entirely interested in the technology of the device, but the same could be said about the POKéMON inside the route.

They were basically a rat and a pansy bird.

RED kept contemplating wasting his precious monster capturing devices or not on such things. He grew the ball, and then shrank it again.

Grew it, and then shrank it.

Grew, shrank.

Grew.

Shrank.

Gre-

"Whatever." He flung the ball at a random patch of grass, and a red shine flashed quickly, a few PIDGEYs and RATTATAs scampering away.

"Hmm... you look like a… Leon!"

"ALRIGHT LEON! ARE YOU READY FOR EPIC ADVENTURES?"

Sadly, when he wasn't looking, a PIDGEY tore Leon in half, leaving his bleeding torso behind. The POKéBALL it had been in suddenly broke it's red top, leaving shards everywhere.


LEON:

DEAD

Lv. 3 – Lv. 3


By Sadly I mean no one gave a damn.

"He wasn't ready." he shrugged it off. He knew gore was going to rear its face in his journey; he was just disappointed by such a lame first catch. Heavy rustling from the trees didn't faze him; his catch was made.

A clerk appears.

"Hello sir! How're you do-"

"OH FUCK YOU YOU'RE GROUNDED!" RED instantly decked the clerk, and caught the potion that flipped in the air comically.

Charles looked at her trainer quizzically. He shrugged.

RED made his way up the hill, swatting away the pesky RATTATAs and PIDGEYs that dared confront him, until he made it to…


-VIRIDIAN CITY, 7:50 A.M.-


"Alright, so this is VIRIDIAN CITY!" said RED, stepping over the lower ledge of the area.

"It's pretty… nice." Charles said, looking around.

There was an old man wriggling on the road ahead.

"So, shall we take a tour?" He said, paying no mind.

RED noticed the POKéMON ACADEMY.

He looked at Charles.

Charles looked back.


He put Charles back in her POKéBALL while walking away from a building which's walls mysteriously said 'RED WAS HERE THEREFORE IT IS WINSCHOOL FULL OF VICTORY', and headed to the POKéMON CENTER, entering through the glass doors.

Notice, through.

He threw the Pokeball at the nurse, from which's face it bounced on to the healing machine, activating it.

He picked it back up, and walked back out, saying "Thank you!"

He walked into the POKeMART in the same manner, and instantly yelled out: "TWO OF EVERYTHING YOU HAVE!"

The clerk noticed RED, and said "Oh, you're from PALLET TOWN, aren't you? I have-"

RED has a tendency to deck clerks on sight.

"ALL OF YOUR THINGS. GIVE ME TWO OF THEM." He said, holding the clerk by the collar.


Meanwhile, exactly behind that building


"Is 'e normally like 'is?" asked the new team member.

"Not really. He's pissed, Circe, don't stick your beak where it doesn't belong though." Responded Sherise, walking behind their trainer.

The trainer banged on the door yet again.

Ignoring Sherise's suggestion, Circe asked; "Uh, Pro, I dink i's clo-"

"I KNOW!"

"Sorry." Muttered BLUE, walking away from the gym.

"Uh, Pro? Wha's goin' on?" asked the bird, taking flight.

"I told you that's not my name." he answered.

"BLUE." Planted the Tiny Turtle POKéMON, leaving the subtext clear.

"Look, it's just… I can't believe RED! He-he didn't even CARE his first POKéMON died so fast!" he crossed his arms.

"I didn't think you were really different from him, to be honest." She replied.

"Neither did I, but I see we were wrong." BLUE snarked back.

"It's just one damn RATTATA. I don't see why you're maki-"

"Just o- IT'S A GODDAMN LIFE WE'RE TALKING ABOUT HERE!" BLUE turned abruptly, snapping at his starter.

He turned back, and grunted "And he needs to know that."

He walked ahead, returning his POKéMON to their POKéBALLs.


-ROUTE 22, 8:00 A.M.-


A very loud 'CAW!' echoed across the route.

A GROWL attack.


Charles Lv. 12 vs. SPEAROW Lv. 5


"Charles, Scratch!" yelled RED, as the fire POKéMON dashed across and lunged at the SPEAROW, which got hit but retaliated with a PECK attack to the face.

"Again! We don't want it dead!" the trainer commanded. The bird POKéMON dropped to the grass as it got hit.

"Got you!" RED threw the BALL at the fallen foe.


1, 2, 3… Click!

SPEAROW was caught!


"Bloody 'ell, just what I needed." Muttered the bird from inside the ball.

"That sounds like a Britney to me." Answered RED, looking at Charles, who was nodding.

"So! Can either of you tell what time it is?" Asked RED, releasing the Spearow.

Both of the POKéMON shrugged.

"Well, it's TRAINING TIME!" yelled out the trainer.

"Well, so far so good, team." Said RED, swiping sweat from his brow. He looked up to see a silhouette on top of a ledge.

When, suddenly,

"I FOUND YOU, YOU BASTARD!" RED's rival yelled from above the ledge.

"WELL THIS PLACE ISN'T EXACTLY HUGE!" RED yelled back, putting on his shades.

"SHUT UP!" BLUE jumped from the ledge, POKéBALL in hand.
