Sup guys, three chapters in one day I'm quite happy.

I do not own Pokemon. Gamefreak and Nintendo do. I also do not own Bulbapedia due to the mentioning of it during this chapter.

Here you guys go.


Chapter 3

Red's POV

Looking around Route 1, I realised there wasn't much there besides Pidgeys and Rattatas. That was until I heard an unfamilar cry. I looked around then spotted a different pokemon flying around. It was about a foot tall, red wings, a pale beak and a brown feather all over it's head.

"Hey Pikachu, is that a Spearow?"

The mouse pokemon looked at where I was pointing. He nodded,

"Yeah, thats a Spearow. Why?"

"Because I'm going to catch it."I unclipped Charmander's pokeball and threw it,

"Charmander, let's do this!"

The Fire type burst ready for his first battle.

"Charmander, use scratch."

The lizard like pokemon sprinted to the bird pokemon and sliced at it, The wild Spearow countered with Quick Attack before U-turned into using Peck.

"Dodge it, then use Growl and follow it up with one more Scratch attack."

My starter dodged the Peck attack and growled at the Flying type and slammed into it using scratch. The wild pokemon fell to the ground, swirls in its eyes.

"Go pokeball!"

The pokeball sucked the bird like pokemon inside and wobbled a few times for stopping with a soft ding.

"We caught, Spearow you guys."

I picked my newly caught Flying type's pokeball and clipped it onto my belt. I returned Charmander telling him, he did a good job. I felt a weight in my pcket and withdrew it seeing that I had my Pokedex in my hand, then remembering to scan my pokemon. I opened the Pokedex and scanned Pikachu in an electronic voice it said,

Pikachu, the Mouse Pokemon.

Whem several of these pokemon gather their electricity could build and cause lightning storms.

Pikachu's ability is Static and Egg moves are Volt Tackle and Fake Out

Current moves are Thundershock, Growl, Quick Attack and Double Team

I then scanned Charmander,

Charmander, the Lizard Pokemon.

Obviously prefers hot places. When it rains steam is said to spout from the flame on the tip of it's tail.

Charmander's ability is Blaze and Egg moves are Outrage, Dragon Dance, Dragon Pulse and Dragon Rush

Current moves are Scratch and Growl

Finally I scanned Spearow,

Spearow, the Tiny Bird Pokemon.

Eats bugs in grassy areas. It has to flap it's short wing at high speeds to keep itself airborne.

Spearow's ability is Keen Eye and Egg moves are Tri-Attack, Quick Attack, Sky Attack and Razor Wind

Current moves are Peck, Growl and Quick Attack

I closed my Pokedex with a grin on my face, I turned to Pikachu looking impressed.

"I think I can you, Charmander and Spearow can learn those moves if I train you correctly. Pikachu griined then leaped off my shoulder and scampered towards our next destination, Viridian City. That was until I heard a familiar arrogant and cocky call my name.

"Hey Red!"

"What? Oh hey Blue."

"Catch any pokemon yet?"

I nodded confirming that I have. He grinned before stating,

"Alright Red challenge you to a two on two Pokemon Battle!"

"Ok, I accept."

We made our way towards a clearing, he went to one side and I went to the other.

"I'll send mine out first, Redy-Boy."(A/N:Hint?)

"Fine." I said gritting my teeth.

"Go, Pidgey!"

Pidgey looked a little like Spearow, it was about a foot tall, brown wings and head with a pink beak. I scanned it with my Pokedex,

Pidgey, the Tiny Bird Pokemon.

A common sight in forests and woods. It flaps it's wings at ground level to pick up blinding sand

"Go, Pikachu."

"I got this, Red." the mouse pokemon confidently stated.

"Pidgey, use Quick Attack."

"You too, Pikachu."

The two pokemon slammed into each other.

"Use Thundershock, buddy."

"Pikaaaaaachuuuuuuu!"

The Flying type got hit with Pikachu electric attack causing significant damage. Pidgey manged to it's feet but not without feeling pain.

"Argh, use Growl then follow it up with Tackle."

The tiny bird pokemon screeched a growl making Pikachu cover his ears then getting slammed into by Pidgey's Tackle attack.

"Finish this with one more Thundershock."

Pikachu unleashed his attack once more knocking out the Flying type pokemon from battle."

"Return, Pidgey."

"Good work, Pikachu."

"Thanks, Red."

"Ok, return, buddy."

"You got lucky, Red. Now go Squirtle!"

Withdrawing my Pokedex again I scanned Blue's starter,

Squirtle, the Tiny Turtle Pokemon.

After birth, it's back swells and hardens into a shell. It powerfully sprays foam from it's mouth

"Go, Charmander."

"You are joking right? A Fire type against a Water type. You must really want to lose."

I glared at him. "Charmander use Scratch."

My Fire type starter growled then sprinted towards Squirtle .

"Counter with Tackle."

The two starters rammed into each other locking it in a stand still.

"Squirtle, use Tail Whip."

"Charmander, use Growl."

"Gah, use Bubble."

"Dodge them."

I sighed in frustration. "Charmander kick the dirt up like a Sand Attack."

The Fire type kicked the dirt into the Water types eyes making it growl in pain.

"Finish this with one more Scratch attack."

Charmander slammed into Squirtle critically hitting it with his Scratch attack, knocking it to the ground with swirls in it's eyes.

"Great work, Charmander."

"Char Charmander."

Blue returned his starter and looked at me

"Aww, you just got lucky, Red."

With that my male rival walked off in a bad mood. My attention turned to my pokemon.

"You two did great."

"Charrr." "Pikaaa."

I returned Charmander and walked my eyes set on my destination, Viridian City.
