Chapter 3

Brad in the Viridian Forest

'Where's my mommy. I'm so hungry I hope she comes back soon.' "Who said that? Where are you? What do you want from me?" Brad asked but there was no one around. A crack of a stick made him soon jump. Brad quickly turned around still nothing. He soon felt a tug on his belt as he watched a string pull away Mankey's pokeball. "Great now I just have this useless thing to help me until I get Mankey back. Brad took the Chase after Mankey's pokeball not noticing a baby Caterpie coming out of the bushes.

As he continued the chase Brad came across a man that looked to be in his mid-thirties with a Butterfree and 2 Beedrill beside him. Brad saw in his hand Mankey's pokeball. This was not good Brad was outnumbered 3 to one. On top of that Bulbasaur only knew tackle and leech seed great amount of work that those will do. He had no choice though he had to get Mankey back. "Go Bulbasaur!"

Battle Scene

"Bulbasaur start off by firing a leech seed at all three of them." Brad commanded. Doing as told still oblivious to his trainers hate Bulbasaur managed to hit both of the Beedrills before the Butterfree knocked it away. "Now let me show you how a true trainer attacks! Beedrill both of you use twin needle, and Butterfree you use tackle attack." The man said. Bulbasaur was knocked into a tree a few feet behind Brad. Even though Brad didn't want to admit it he felt bad for the little guy.

Out of nowhere came another string shot grabbing Mankey's pokeball again. "Really again! The thing isn't that rare why does everyone, want my Mankey!?" Brad turned to see the culprit, but instead saw a Caterpie on his shoulder with Mankey's pokeball in its mouth. "Thanks little guy" Brad said as he reached for the pokeball. Caterpie then jumped down soon followed by Mankey and a now slightly recovered Bulbasaur joined the fight. Making it an even three on three match. Brad knew better that that though. His three Pokémon were nothing compared to the older man's Pokémon. "Mankey use rage! Bulbasaur and Caterpie use tackle!" Brad commanded as if he had been doing this for years.

The three attacks collided along with the draining from leech seed knocking out one of the man's Beedrills. "Beedrill use Twin Needle again and Butterfree use Sleep Powder!" All three Pokémon were put to sleep as Beedrill hit both Caterpie and Bulbasaur into the same tree as before. Suddenly Mankey woke up. Brad Pokedex started going wild. "Some Mankey have the ability insomnia making it so that they cannot fall asleep in battle." I think this just gave me the upper hand Mankey use…" "Beedrill don't let him attack use Twin Needle Again!" The man said. "Really is that your only tactic? Twin Needle? Really your Beedrill has to know some better moves." Brad said to the man. The aftershock of the hit sent Mankey tumbling into the same tree as the others.

The fourth knock on the tree mad a large amount of leaves fall and Brad got an idea as he saw a green aura appear around Bulbasaur. "Thanks for the help mister." Brad said confidently. "Now Bulbasaur use Solar Beam." A beam of light shot out of Bulbasaur's bulb and hit the man's two Pokémon straight on. "I won't forget this you will pay, one day you will pay." The man said maniacally while running off.

Battle Scene Over

Brad quickly went over to the Pokémon lying under the tree. With a quick potion on them all three were looking much better. Brad realized that he owed the little Caterpie big time, and before he could even ask Caterpie started to glow. It was evolving into a Metapod! After it was done evolving Brad asked if it wanted to join the team which it happily agreed. After a bit more walking Brad found the exit and decided to head to the Pokémon center to wait for Christian and Kyle hoping that they were already there.
