Chapter 3 Virdian Forest

After Sonic had learned about the world of Pokemon, he asked Ash a question. "Ya know, I'm kinda new around here. Could I maybe join you in your quest?"

"All right! Of course you join us, right Pikachu?" Ash exclaimed. Pikachu answered, "Pikaa!" It too, was excited too have Sonic as it's new friend.

"Let's go to Virdian City! I can get my first Gym Badge there", he said excitedly. "It's just down this route. Com'on Sonic. Let's go. I can't wait any longer."

And with that the trio took off, with one person, one Pokemon, and one hedgehog.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ash was walking down the road when he saw a Pokemon. He took out his Pokedex and scanned the Pokemon. Dexter told him it was called a Spearow.

"Wow a wild Pokemon! Let's catch it Pikachu", Ash announced. However, Pikachu disagreed. It ran up a nearby tree and refused to come down. "Pikaaa, Pikkaa!" it said totally not obeying Ash.

"Come on Pikachu, why don't you just come down and fight the Pokemon. You'll get fighting experience", Sonic beckoned Pikachu. Obeying it's new friend, Pikachu got down from the tree and leaped in front of the Spearow.

From it's red cheeks it discharged a shock of electricity at it's opponent. However, the Spearow did not give up easily, and enranged, it flew away cawing, trying to gain the support of the other wild Spearows.

Soon, a giant flock of Spearows attacked the group. "Aah!" Ash cried trying to keep Pikachu safe from the Peck of the Spearows.

"Hey guys. Just grab onto my arms and I'll get us out of here in no time", Sonic said excited to finally find some action. He had been bored to death before.

Unquestioningly, the two grabbed onto him. Sonic took of leaving a trail of dust behind them. As he gained speed a boom was heard, showing that he had broken the sound barrier. Sparks flew off of his speed resistant shoes. He dashed towards the large town; it was Virdian City.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In the Pokemon Center, Ash and Pikachu stood with their new friend, Sonic. Staring at him in awe, Ash asked Sonic, "How did you do that?"

Sonic replied, "Oh, you mean my super speed, ha? I've had it since I was born." Many people stared at Sonic, they thought he was a Pokemon and he was actually talking. They had never seen a talking Pokemon before.

Nurse Joy called Ash over. "If there's anything you need, just ask me. My name is Nurse Joy of the Viridian City", she told him. Ash gave his name as well.

"Hi my name is Ash Ketchum, glad to meet you! Is there any gym nearby?"

"Well there is one, but nobodies ever defeated it's leader. Not much is known about him. We don't even know his name. He is probably the hardest of all the gym leaders. If you just started your Pokemon journey, I don't think you should challenge him now", the nurse explained.

Ash was upset but he listened to Nurse Joy's advice. Sonic tried to cheer him up. "Don't be down Ash. There still plenty other gyms left to fight in."

"Yeah, I guess you're right Sonic. Thanks", Ash said already feeling cheered up.

"No prob!"

And so Ash, Pikachu, and Sonic left for Pewter City, to get Ash's first badge.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

On the way to Pewter City, Ash and friends had to pass through Viridian Forest. It was dark, gloomy and scary. Ash and Pikachu had begun to bond, and Pikachu would battle for Ash. They had seen many Pokemon, like Weedle and Pidgey.

Pikachu had fought over ten battles and was growing stronger. It had learned Tail Whip, an attack which lowered the defense of the opposing Pokemon, by slamming it with it's tail.

As they came out of a hedge and into a clearing, a Bug Catcher caught Ash's eye. He was a trainer and he wanted to fight.

"Hey want to fight against my new Bug Pokemon?" he asked frenzied.

Ash accepted his challenge. "Sure thing. My name's Ash," he said. "Let the Pokemon battle commence!"

Pikachu leapt off his shoulder with a cry of "Pika!" The Bug Catcher seeing Pikachu said, "Well I know just the Pokemon. We'll have a one-on-one fight. Go, Pinser!"

"Pinser, use guillotine," he commanded. As Pinsir rushed forward, it's horns prepared to slice Pikachu in half. Just as it was about to hit, Pikachu jumped up to dodge the attack.

Ash yelled, "Pikachu, get on Pinsir's back, and use Thundershock." Pikachu landed on Pinsir and it let out a jolt of electricity and shouted, "Pikkaaa, Chuuuu!"

Pinsir stood up, although wobbly. Pikachu grew a level in the battle and learned Quick Attack. Suudenly, Pikachu ran at hyper speeds and even Sonic was amazed by it's speed.

Pikachu's body blurred as it slammed into Pinsir. Pinsir fell over and fainted, it's eyes swirly. "No, Pinsir," yelled the Bug Catcher. "It's alright Pinsir, you did good. You deserve a nice long rest."

He turned to Ash and said, "I hate you for hurting my Pinsir. Mommy!" The Bug Catcher ran away tears falling from his eyes. However, when he thought he was out of Ash's hearing range, he started to laugh and cry at the same time.

"That was just… weird," said Sonic and Ash just sweat-dropped. They continued down the path the weird boy's laughter still ringing in their heads. 'Will that boy ever shut up,' they all thought at the same time.

As they were walking a suspicious sound came from a nearby bush. When they looked there, however, nothing was seen. Soon the group stopped under a tree to rest. They laid down a mat to eat a picnic.

Ash looked into his bag searching for some food. "Aaah! I forgot to pack some food," he said, as his stomach growled. "Did you bring any, huh Sonic?"

Sonic pulled a dozen chilidogs out of a mysterious place and began to eat them. Ash gaped as his jaw fell to the ground. "Where did you get all that food from?" he questioned. "Not telling," Sonic answered sticking his tongue out while looking around protectively as if somebody might have seen where he hid his supply of chilidogs.

Pikachu looked enviously at Sonic and decided to attack him. It didn't care if Sonic was it's friend, it just needed those rich, lovely, tasty chilidogs. It charged at him but Sonic stopped it with one hand. When Pikachu tried to shock him, his gloves protected him but the chilidogs were blasted away.

A wild Pokemon suddenly leaped out of the tree and grabbed all of the chilidogs and ate them. A vein bulged on Sonic's forehead. "That was mine, you little thief," he yelled, a little too over-protectively.

Ash meanwhile took out his Pokedex. "Mankey," Dexter said. "The Pig Monkey Pokemon. Extremely quick to anger, it could be docile one moment, thrashing away the next instant."

The Mankey's eyes were curved in upside down v's as it did a victory dance. However' a huge apple fell out of the tree and the apple bonked it on it's head. It looked angrily at Ash, Sonic and Pikachu, thinking that they had caused the apple to fall on it. However, it had eaten too much to move and it was unable to attack them.

Ash took out a Pokeball and threw it at the Mankey. Since the Mankey was weakened by obesity, it was unable to dodge the Pokeball. The Pokeball opened up and absorbed Mankey in a laser beam. The Pokeball shook for a while before it pulsed red and became stable.

Ash went to pick it up. "All right," he yelled holding his fingers up in the peace sign. Suddenly, the Pokeball opened up and the Mankey appeared proceeding to fight Ash. A smoke cloud appeared as Ash's own Mankey began to beat him up. Through some luck he finally managed to return Mankey to it's Pokeball.

Although Ash was beaten and weary, the group continued to trudge through the humid and warm mist that shrouded the forest. Many times Bug Pokemon like Caterpie had jumped down on strings of web and startled them. They all let go of a breath they didn't know they had been holding when the mist began to clear and the trees appeared farther apart.

"Hey, what's that flying towards…" Sonic tried to warn Ash, but he was too late. The thing, which was revealed to be a Pidgeotto swooped down and knocked Ash down to the floor where he fell unconscious.

Pikachu decided to take charge. It used Thunder Shock on Pidgeotto who dodged it. After dodging, Pidgeotto flew down and began to Peck at Pikachu. Sonic called out to Pikahu, "Hey, I'll help you there little buddy." He curled into a ball and began to spin. Rolling towards Pidgeotto , he knocked it back into a tree.

Pidgeotto managed to get up quickly and it started to fly. It swooped down at Pikachu, but Pikachu had other plans. When Pidgeotto got near enough, Pikachu pounced on to it's back. Pidgeotto flew up high trying to shake Pikachu off, but Pikachu electrocuted it with a powerful Thunder Shock, knocking it out of the sky.

Pikachu paralyzed Pidgeotto with Thunder Wave. It ran to Ash and took a Pokeball out of his belt. With a yell of "PPikaaa" it threw the Pokeball in the air and smashed it at Pidgeotto with it's tail. The Pokeball opened up and sucked the Pokemon in. It shook three times before it settled down and Pidgeotto was captured.

Pikachu took the Pokeball and placed it back it back where it belonged. Sonic and Pikachu lifted up Ash and began to run to there next destination. Soon they arrived at a cliff over looking Pewter City. It was beautiful and mountains surrounded it on three sides.

Here's a small short on Misty.

Beginning of short.

When Sonic outran the Spearow…

Misty was out enjoying a nice bicycle ride in Route 01 above Palette Town. Ah, it was so relaxing, finally she was away from those bossy sisters of hers, who always treated her as the inferior youngest sister of the group.

She had just parked her bike next to a lake where it was rumored that Gyrados lived. Water Pokemon were her specialty and favorite. She was just about to take a dip in the pure waters, when suddenly, she heard a sonic-boom.

When she turned around she saw a blue blur accompanied by a bewildered person and a Pikachu. It rammed straight through her bike, completely obliterating it. A vein bulged on her forehead as she thought, 'That's the FIFTH bike this month!'

And so Misty's Grudge against the trio began as she thought of ideas for revenge.

Suddenly, something happened which only served to make Misty's blood boil and curse at the bad luck – an angry flock-or should I say, mob-of Spearow were rushing at her intent on attacking, due to the escape of their original target.

"AAhhhahH," Misty yelled as she ran for her life from the Spearow swearing revenge on the ones she would come to know as Sonic and Ash.

End of Short.
