After Red rang the bell, we stood there in an awkward silence for a while. I passed the time by trying to remember what happened now, before a memory resurfaced. My eyes snapped open (I think with my eyes closed) and widened in shock. If things went according to the manga... then Red would probably go into the lab... now.

True to the manga, Red twisted the door knob of the lab to the side and the door swung open. 'Huh? It's unlocked...?' Red said, but that didn't stop him from going in.

'Red, w-wait!' I caught hold of his wrist before he entered the lab.

'Why? The door's open!' He said, trying to make me release my hold.

'What if the professor shows up suddenly and thinks we're trying to steal stuff?' I never was one to just leap before I looked.

'Aww, that won't happen, we'll just explain it to him if he does come back! Don't you want to become a Pokemon Trainer?' he said.

I sighed and let go. 'Fine, but if we get caught, I'm so blaming you...' I muttered as I stepped in after him.

The words were lost as hundreds of Pokeballs caught my attention. 'Woah...' I muttered, my eyes widening to the size of saucer plates.

Red seemed to be engrossed in a particular Pokeball that contained a Bulbasaur.

Then, a Pokeball caught my attention. As if in a trance, I walked over to it. Inside of the Pokeball resided a Vulpix; one of my favourite Pokemon.

I reached out a hand and took hold of the Pokeball. The Vulpix inside stared at me in wonder. I smiled.

Just then, someone yelled, 'What do you think you're doing, you... you... Pokethieves!'

Shocked, I turned around, my grip tightening on the Pokeball. Red backed up, accidentally pushing the release button for all the Pokeballs.

In that instant, the Pokemon all raced for freedom towards the open door. A Pidgey even pooped on the professor's face. I held back a giggle.

Then, the professor turned and looked at Red and I, an anger mark appearing next to his head.

Red was already apologising, 'I-I'm sorry, professor! We'll get them all back!' and he raced off, but Professor Oak caught him by his collar from the back.

'Oh no, you don't you Pokethief, I'm handing you over to the police!'

'But... I'm... Not!' Red managed to say, 'We've got to get them back before the sun sets!' And with that, he miraculously managed to get out of the professor's grip and raced for the door. I ran after him.

'Red! I'll help you!' I shouted, making him stop.

A half second later, we heard the ringing of a bicycle behind us. 'Hmph, you think you can do this alone? You won't even know what to look for!' it turned out to be the professor on a bike.

Red and I grinned. Then, the professor noticed the Pokeball I was holding.

'Hmm? What's that you're holding?' he asked, pointing to the Pokeball.

I blushed. 'Um... I saw this little fellow in your lab and just picked it up to observe because um... well, Vulpix has always been my favourite Pokemon...' I trailed off.

To my surprise, the professor smiled. 'Hm, very well then, if you'd help me to catch all the Pokemon that escaped, I'll give you that Pokemon.'

I blinked once before my lips turned up in a grin. 'Really? C'mon Red, Professor, let's go get them all!'

They chuckled at my enthusiasm, but I was too giddy from the happiness to care.

I was going to get my own Pokemon!

(I seriously thought about ending the chapter there, but decided against it)

'Here, little kitty!' Professor Oak beckoned to the Meowth as Red threw a Pokeball at it. The Meowth was successfully captured. My Vulpix stood by my side, exhausted. It had helped quite a lot in the capture of all the Pokemon, weakening them alongside Red's Poliwhirl before either the Professor, Red or I threw the Pokeball.

'Whew, if I knew we'd be chasing them until Viridian City...' the Professor trailed off as the Bulbasaur from before that Red was fascinated with jumped by us and headed for the abandoned gym of Viridian City.

'Aw, c'mon Professor, there's only one left!' Red said as he took off for the gym with the Professor and I behind.

'Yes, but that one...' it was too late now as we had reached the gym.

Professor Oak spotted the Bulbasaur in a dark corner. 'Oho! There you are! Now come to papa... Ow!' he exclaimed as the Bulbasaur head-butted him in the stomach.

'Now, really, I'm your owner!' the Professor said, clutching his stomach in pain.

Just then, Red whipped in front of the Professor. 'Don't be afraid, Bulbasaur!' he shouted to it.

The Bulbasaur looked at him with an unreadable look in its eyes.

I got ready to command Vulpix to attack it, but Red glared at me, which made me return Vulpix to its Pokeball. It was exhausted anyway, it should have some rest. I'll leave this one to Red.

Red began to give the Bulbasaur a little talk which I tuned out. I was brought back to Earth when a wild Machoke suddenly attacked us.

'Wah! It's a wild Machoke!' we all exclaimed at the same time.

The Machoke seemed to have set its eyes on Red as it marched towards him. It was just about to punch him when the Bulbasaur used a Vine Whip to catch hold of the Machoke's arms.

'See that, Professor? Hey! What's Bulbasaur's best attack?' Red exclaimed, turning to look at the Professor, but he was already out cold.

'Jeez... to fall asleep at a time like this... wait a minute... it's got a bulb...' Behind him, the Machoke was starting to pull free of the Vine Whip.

'Red, look out!' I shouted, desperately wishing I could do something to help, but Vulpix was already out of PP for her moves.

The Machoke hit the ground where Red had just been a millisecond ago. He and the Bulbasaur were backed against a window that had its shades pulled.

'There's no way...' he mumbled to himself. Just then, a ray of sunlight shone through the blinds.

'Wait! What if... I've gotta...' Red turned towards the window and pulled the blinds open, 'Try!'

The sunlight shot through the window and shone onto the bulb on Bulbasaur's back. The bulb absorbed the sunlight and pointed towards the Machoke before Bulbasaur unleashed its Solar Beam.

The Machoke fainted, and I breathed a sigh of relief.

Later...

'You knew... about Bulbasaur's Solar Beam attack?' the Professor asked when he came to and Red had finished telling the story of how he came to defeat the Machoke.

'Nope. But I figured that if sunlight is transferred into energy by plants... and after all, it has a bulb on its back...' Red mumbled, scratching the back of his head.

'So you just assumed... Hahahahaha!' the Professor laughed.

'Bulbasaur is yours to keep! And Vulpix is yours to keep as well, you did help out quite a lot!' the Professor said to Red and I.

'They seem to have taken a liking to you two anyway!' he chuckled.

'Really? He's mine? Cool!' Red exclaimed, gazing at the Bulbasaur through the Pokeball with fascination.

I grinned and let out Vulpix, who was fully restored to health. 'Great! Thanks, Professor!'

'But before I do anything, I'm going to clear myself. I didn't break into your lab this morning. I came so you could teach me to be a better Pokemon Trainer. You see, yesterday...' Red told his tale of how he came to meet the Mew and his defeat.

'I see...' the Professor trailed off. 'Red, do you know what it takes to be a great Pokemon Trainer in the first place?'

'Huh?' Red was confused, but I wasn't. But I could tell that I should probably keep my mouth shut so I did and listened attentively to the Professor.

'Do you need a bunch of good tricks? Or a team of powerful Pokemon? Is that what you think makes a great Trainer?' the Professor asked.

Red and I thought this over. I didn't think that was really what made you a great Trainer. There were more important things in this world than victory and fame and money. To me, what mattered most was that my Pokemon were happy. I looked at Vulpix who wagged its tail. I smiled at it and scratched its neck.

'If that's what you think, you're sadly mistaken. All you need is what's in your heart.' the Professor continued. 'The connection you had with Bulbasaur during that battle... That feeling, from deep within, is the key to becoming a great Pokemon Trainer.'

'What're your names, both of you?' he asked, feeling inside his coat for something.

'Red.'

'I'm Vi, short for Violet.'

'Here, Red and Violet.' the Professor said, handing the two Pokedexes to us. I took it with wonder and fascination.

'Take these Pokedexes. They're an encyclopedia of Pokemon. Whenever you see a Pokemon, its data is recorded in here. By the time you've both completed these Pokedexes, you might already become one of the greatest Trainers ever.' Professor Oak said, smiling at us.

Woah... I just wanted to become a Trainer, but I had to admit, the sound of being one of the greatest Trainers ever was nice.
