Chapter 3: the third wheel

Red has finally started his journey to become a pokemon master, he has past through a few problems as he got lost in the forest but now that he has recover his path he's finally near Viridian city and his fighting against a caterpie nearby.

"Okay caterpie prepare to meet your maker" Red put his fist in front of his face as he started to battle. "Go pikachu thunder shock" pikachu ran to caterpie and gave it a few sparks of static, caterpies are kinda weak so that was all.

"I got you now, pokeball go" Red threw a pokeball as it caught caterpie it then wiggled three times till it pinged. "All right I got a caterpie, and with that I got three pokemon now" Red stared at caterpie's pokeball till he left for Viridian.

When he finally entered Viridian city he couldn't believe his eyes, it was totally different from Pallet it had a lot of buildings some complete and some still in construction. There weren't actually a lot of small houses like his, but every house was either an apartment or a condominium. There were also a lot of people which cause him to get lost in the city losing his path and got him going to the pokemon center.

It was a big white building with a red roof on top it had the letter P.C. on it. Red went inside the center and he saw a nurse, she had pink hair, a white apron a pale skin and a white dress she was taking care of an injured rattata as she finish she gave it to a little kid.

"Thanks nurse Joe" the kid said to the nurse and then left.

"Can I help you" nurse Joy look at Red who was a little nervous. He had never been good talking to girls specially older girls, and nurse Joy was just a few years older than Daisy which Red couldn't stand to be so near or he'll explode imagine now.

"Ah yeah I need to know where the gym is" he ask nervously.

"Oh it's just a three street from here if you just go straight you won't have any trouble" she smiled at Red who was calmer now. "Thanks" Red smiled back.

"Wait are your pokemon tired" nurse Joy asked as she turned the pokemon healer on. "I had a few battles and I capture a pokemon so it's probably weak, so thanks." He went and put his pokeball in the pokemon healer and sat in a sofa nearby as he waited for his pokemon to be ready.

When his pokemon were finally healed he left the pokemon center and kept going to the gym, but he past to a pokemart and saw the poster of Blue on it. It said that the grandson of professor Oak has starter his journey and that only the best would be a match for him. Red remember that Blue has always been a protégé at pokemon battling when he was little Pallet town had a pokemon battle tournament and Blue won.

"A real pain in the butt ha" Red turn around to see someone reading the poster it was a very beautiful girl she had a tan skin, and brown hair. She also had a black dress on and black sandals.

"Yeah he is" Red replied as she giggled. "Well I'm sure that he's not the best just cause he is the grandson of professor Oak" she giggled again.

"What are you the queen of the gigglers" Red asked "I just like to smile that's all people say that smiling is good for the heart and for the health." She look like a very knowledgeable girl.

"Okay, so what's your name" Red had to giggle himself as he asked. "My name is Green" She said smiling.

"Green he my name is Red, I'm from Pallet town" he shook hands with Green.

"Pallet town, I'm from Pallet town" Green looked surprised. "You are then how come I've never seen you" Red asked.

"My family lived in the urban part of Pallet, and we went on vacation to Celadon city to visit my grandma. But we're just returning to Pallet so I can start my journey." She finally finished.

"Wow that was long" Red look tired from hearing so much. "Well I tend to talk a lot" Green giggled again.

"So why are you here in Viridian" She asked. "Well first I came to get my first badge, and I also had to come here to give this to someone." Red took out the pokedex from his backpack and showed it to Green.

"Is that a pokedex" Green looked surprised. "Yeah how did you know about it" Red asked surprised as well.

"Well I should know I help the professor created" Green then looked at the pokedex as Red just stood there surprised "Really then that means." He got cut off. "Yeah I'm the third pokedex holder. Green the heart breaker" She made a modeling pose.

"I didn't know there was a girl pokedex holder" Red ask as Green frowned "what you don't think girls are good enough to be pokedex holders" she was angry now.

"No it's just that your too cute to be a pokedex holder, actually if I can say this your one of the cutest girls I ever seen" Green lost her frowned and smile again. "Nice try to be smooth but it didn't work." Red was a little embarrassed.

"Sorry, I'm actually not that good talking to girls" Green just let Red's comments slide.

After talking for a short while they both left to find a quiet place in the park. Red want it to see how strong Green was so he decided to have a battle with her.

"One on one" Red asked. "How about two on two I just received this new pokemon from Pallet and I'm dying to test it out." Green got a pokeball out and threw it in the air a pink bluff with brown hors. It had white brown color eyes and four finger on each hand it was a clefeary.

"Wow a clefeary, I never seen one of those" Red's eyes jump out at the sight of a clefeary. "Well they're very rare but lets just say I had my set of adventures in the past and capture this little girl on the way" Green stretched her finger pointing at clefeary. "Make your pick."

"Go pikachu" pikachu came out of his pokeball leaving some sparks. "Now pikachu go use your thunder shock" pikachu tried to do his thunder shock but clefeary dodge it. "Clefeary use metronome" clefeary moved her finger from side to side till it copy a mega punch then her fist glew in silver and hit pikachu which send him flying a few inches away.

"Pikachu, quick attack" pikachu sped on as it hit clefeary in the head. "Clefeary encore" clefeary's finger glew white but nothing happen.

"What was that, well it doesn't matter pikachu tackle attack" pikachu tried to do a tackle attack but it instead did another quick attack which clefeary dodge. "What happen" Red raised his eyebrows.

"You see encore is an attack that makes the pokemon affected by it to repeat the same attack until clefeary gets bore." Green explained as Red was just astounded to hear of such an attack.

"Then pikachu is trapped" Red now knew that pikachu had no chance of winning this battle cause of clefeary's encore. "Exactly think I'm a good trainer now." Green chuckle.

"Yeah you're right. Pikachu returned" Red put pikachu back in his pokeball he knew there was no way he could win this one.

"Return clefeary" Green got clefeary back to her pokeball and got out another pokeball. "Go boulbasour" a pokemon that looked like a dog with a big plant in it's back, and it had spots around his body.

"A boulbasour that's a starter" Red couldn't close his mouth now. "Yeah I just got it today so what do you think" Green said. "I think that charmander can handle that" he threw charmander's pokeball in the air and his starter came out. "Prepare to receive my best" Red was confident now.

"Well lets go boulbasour tackle attack" boulbasour did his tackle attack but charmander didn't receive a lot of damage. "Charmander use ember attack" charmander fired a lot of fire bullets from it's mouth this did a lot of damage to his opponent.

"Boulbasour use your leech seed." Boulbasour fired a seed at charmander and it started absorbing it's energy.

"What's that" Red asked desperate. "Leech seed has the ability to absorb the opponent's energy" Green had a confident smile on.

"Man you just come up with new tricks every second" Red said without losing his confidence. "Now charmander lets take care of this use your headbutt" charmander used headbutt and it hit boulbasour.

"Go boulbasour razor leaf" boulbasour send a bunch of sharp leaf that attack charmander and made a lot of damage. "Now vine whip" Green ordered a vine whip from boulbasour as it hit charmander with a green whip hit by hit charmander was becoming weaker and weaker till it could barely stand.

"Okay lets do this charmander flamethrower" charmander send a stream of flames that hit boulbasour and it was so strong that boulbasour couldn't stand anymore so it fell unconscious.

"Well you win that round" Green returned boulbasour.

"Yeah that was a good battle but guess it's a tie cause you only got two pokemon and I got three" Red returned charmander and started to leave.

"See ya around Green it was good to meet you" Red said goodbye to Green as he left to the gym.

"Good bye Red good luck" Green looked at the sky thinking of all that had happen today as the sun started to set.
