•Ash's POV•
You know how I was all sure that I had gotten the adventure off? Well, apparently the way that the guy in the video did it, didn't work. According to the video, you have to press a button or something. When I asked Professor Oak about it he showed me. "First," he said, "You have to get the pokemon down to low health. That part is optional, but it helps. Next, you have to throw the pokeball at on what ball you use, it will have different effectiveness. Everything is related to a pokeball. For instance, a Greatball, is x2 better than a Pokeball. An Ultraball, is x3 effectiveness."
"So that's all I need to know?" I asked.
"Thats all you need to know." Said Professor Oak.
Once I got on the road, I asked Blue how far he was. He said he had about 3 Pokemon already! Since I hadn't caught anything, I tried catching a Spearow. Little did I know, that it had friends... A lot of friends. When I saw them coming, I didn't care how Pikachu didn't like it, I grabbed him and ran. After about an hour of torment from the Spearows, Pikachu had the grand idea to shock everything in a 30 foot radius, including me. I think Pikachu trusts me a but more after that, and he might be willing to fight. I went out and found what looked like a lizard. The only thing was, that it was red. I decided to catch it, and I actually succeeded. When I went back for lunch, I showed it to Professor Oak, and he said it was a rare pokemon called Charmander. That kind of makes sense since his tail is on fire, and he looks like a salamander.
"I haven't actually caught one before. I've only seen pictures." Professor Oak said.
"Wait, then how do you know the name?" I asked.
"Well, I am a professor, after all." Professor Oak replied.
After that revelation, I finished lunch, and ran back out to the next town. I defeated a few more trainers, and now my Pikachu can now cloak himself with white energy, and dash forward at an extreme speed. My Charmander can also shoot a small ember at the opponent. On my way back, I found out that I angered the Spearow's mom or dad (I don't know which) which is a pokemon. Because of this, I had to make it faint, or I wouldn't be able to get home. I tried using Charmander. He used the move that I'm just going to call ember. It left a nasty mark, but it did no damage. The huge bird made a huge gust of wind blew Charmander and me all the way to the other town. We went back and the cursed bird was still there. I sent out Pikachu. He use the new attack (I'm going to call it quick attack) and actually did some damage. After that Pikachu dodged the bird. I told the Pikachu to use thundershock. He instead, decide to shoot lightning into the air, and make it come down on the giant bird. I kind of felt bad for it. After that, my Pokedex told me that it was a Fearow. We got home just before dark. When I was getting ready for bed, I realized that I couldn't just keep working from home. I would have to adventure out soon.
