New Friends

"It's pretty much a single path to Viridian City." Alice said as they walked through Route 1.

Jason was a bit distracted, looking at all of the wild Pokémon. A Pidgey flew in from of them on the path. They stopped and stared at the Pidgey for a few seconds. Then Jason reacted. He grabbed a Pokeball from his belt.

"You're going to try and catch it?" Alice asked.

"Of course, I wouldn't be much of a Pokemon Trainer if I didn't." Jason replied. "Shinx come out!"

The Pokeball hit the ground and Shinx came out.

It cried as it appeared.

"Okay Shinx." Jason said. "Tackle the Pidgey."

Shinx took off towards the Pidgey, who unaware, kept pecking at the ground. Shinx slammed into the Pidgey and Pidgey slid a few feet on the ground. Pidgey laid on the ground. Swirls where its eyes should be.

"Good job Shinx, I'll take over from here."

Jason threw the Pokeball. The Pokeball made contact with the Pidgey, it opened up and a blob of red light shot out of the Pokeball and sucked Pidgey into it. The Pokeball closed and fell to the ground. The Pokeball shook three times then made a beeping sound to singnify that Pidgey had been successfully captured. Jason walked up to the Pokeball and picked it up with a smile on his face. He knelt down to and pet Shinx on the head, Shinx had a smile on its face. He stood up.

"My second Pokemon capture." Jason said while staring at Pidgey's Pokeball.

"Not to bad." Alice said. "but could we get a move on? The days almost over and I want to get to Viridian before sundown."

"Okay. Come on Shinx." Shinx jumped up onto Jason's shoulder and they continued on.

They walked following to path, there were no more wild Pokemon encounters.

"Eevee!" a voice shouted. "Use bite!"

Everyone stopped and looked around. There was the sound of an Eevee's cry.

"Where is that coming from?" Jason asked.

Shinx jumped off his shoulder and took off in a run towards the forests outlining the path.

"Hold on! Shinx, wait up!"

Jason and Alice took off after Shinx. They ran and they ran, until they came upon a line of thick bushes. The three went through one after the other. There was a trainer who was dressed similar to Lance, the legendary trainer. With his dark brown boots, blue pants, and long sleeved blue shirt with a red trim on the sleeves. He was having his Eevee attack a dummy that he had set up. It was hard to tell what the poorly constructed dummy was as it looked like a cross between a Pokemon and a person. First the Eevee looked over at the others than the trainer. He had medium length brown hair and dark brown eyes that looked like they could see through you to your soul. He smiled at the sight of Shinx and Jason. He looked over at Eevee and pointed to the Shinx. Eevee understood perfectly, it took off in a run towards Shinx.

"Looks like he wants to battle." Alice said.

Jason's confused facial expression quickly turned into a smile.

"Okay Shinx!" He said. "Tackle attack."

Shinx took off in a run towards the Eevee. The two collided and jumped back a few feet.

The Trainer was the first to react. "Eevee use Sand Attack!"

Eevee quickly spun around and with its back legs shot up sand into Shinx's face. The sand went into Shinx's eyes, Shinx cried out as he tried to get the sand out of its eyes. Eevee rammed into Shinx and sent it flying. Shinx hit the ground hard. Shinx stood up slowly. Eevee was running towards Shinx to tackle it again.

When Eevee was close enough Jason said. " Use Thundershock!"

Yellow electricity pulsed towards Eevee who was too close to stop running in time to move and dodge. The electricity shocked Eevee continuously, Eevee was thrown up in the air due to how powerful the attack was. Eevee fell to the ground, it had fainted. Shock appeared on the trainer's face.

"Eevee return." The trainer pulled out a Pokeball and Eevee was sucked into the Pokeball. "Go Larvitar!"

A small green Pokemon appeared. "Larvitar" It said.

"Shinx come back." Jason said.

Shinx turned back to face Jason, a confused looked in it's face, then it ran back to Jason. Shinx was right Jason.

"You did a good job, Shinx!" Jason said with a smile on his face, then the look turned to determination as he looked at the trainer. Jason grabbed a Pokeball from his belt. "Go Snivy!"

The Pokeball hit the ground and out popped Snivy.

"Sn-Snivy." It said.

"Lar." Larvitar said.

"Larvitar." The trainer said. "Use Leer."

Larvitar's eyes gleamed a shiny red. Snivy jumped from fright, ran and hid behind Jason.

"Snivy…" Jason said. "Come on."

Jason moved Snivy out from behind him and pushed it forward. Snivy moved up slowly to the battlefield.

"Snivy use your Tackle." Jason ordered.

Snivy ran toward Larvitar, who was running towards Snivy as well. The two collided, but Snivy was thrown back due to Larvitar's rough skin. Snivy appeared to have taken minor damage.

"Snivy try your Razor Leaf!"

Three leafs shot out of Snivy's tail towards Larvitar. The leafs hit Larvitar and threw it back a foot or two. Larvitar appeared to have taken a good amount of damage.

"Lavitar use Rock throw!" the trainer ordered.

Larvitar lifted up a big chunk of the ground and threw it at Snivy. Snivy jumped out of the way and used Vine Whip. Two vines launched out of Snivy's neck towards Larvitar. The vines neared Larvitar, Larvitar jumped up and bit onto the vines. Snivy eyes went wide with pain and it started running around comically and wildly. The Trainer and Alice started laughing hysterically, Jason and Shinx had a embarrassed look on their faces.

"Snivy calm down!" Jason called out over the laughter. "Use the vines and slam Lavitar down onto the ground."

Snivy stopped and slammed the Larvitar into a tree and then into the ground before it let go. Larvitar stood up from the ground, then ran at Snivy , and it tackled it. Snivy was slammed into a tree. Then it fell into the ground, unable to continue.

"Snivy return." Jason said as he pulled out the Pokeball and pulled Snivy back into the ball.

Jason pulled another Pokeball from his belt.

"Go, Charmeleon!" Jason said as he threw the Pokeball.

Charmeleon appeared out of its Pokeball a confident look on its face, showing that it was ready to do battle.

"Return Larvitar." The trainer said.

Larvitar was pulled into the Pokeball, he put it up and pulled out another one.

"Go Vulpix."

A Vulpix appeared but this one was different. It had a golden sort of color on its fur that shone brightly in the sun.

"Whoa a shiny Vulpix." Jason said in awe.

Charmeleon looked unimpressed.

"Vulpix, use Quick Attack." The trainer ordered.

Vulpix took off in a run towards Charmeleon at extreme speeds. It had hit Charmeleon in less than a second, Charmeleon used Mega Punch and knocked Vulpix aside. Vulpix was knocked up in the air and came slamming down onto the ground. Vulpix slowly got up.

"Vulpix use Fire Spin."

"Vvuulll!" it shouted as the flames shout out of its mouth and trapped Charmeleon in a vortex of fire.

The vortex dissipated, and Charmeleon appeared unaffected and almost rejunvinated.

"Char." It said.

"Charmeleon use Scratch." Jason ordered.

Charmeleon struck Vulpix with its claw. Vulpix was sent over to its trainer and it laid there not moving. It had fainted.

"Vulpix return." The Trainer had a surprised Smile.

He waved good bye and took off into the forest.

"Wait!" Jason called out. "What is your name!"

But the trainer was gone.

"That guy was weird." Alice said. "Oh well! Let's keep moving."

Jason called back Charmeleon and the group headed back the way they had come. Soon they reached the entrance to Viridian City.

"Ahhh…We're here." Alice said.

"Yeah, that was really quick." Jason commented. "We need to go to the Pokemon Center."

The group was at the Pokemon Center and Jason had given Nurse Joy his Pokemon to heal.

"Are you traveling to gather all the Gym Badges?" Nurse Joy asked.

"Yeah! I'm going to participate in the Indigo League." Blaze replied.

"Your not going to participate in the World Championship Tournament?"

"The World Championship Tournament?"

"Yeah, for the first time ever we have a Pokemon World Champion and he is sponsoring a tournament that any trainer that has all the badges from any region can participate in. the trainer that comes in first place will get a chance to battle against the World Champion and if they manage to defeat the World Champion, then they themselves become the World Champion."

"A chance to become World Champion…I'm there. How do I sign up?"

"You just need to make to the Indigo Plateau and there you can register."

Nurse Joy handed Jason his Pokemon back. Shinx was already outside of its ball.

"Your Pokemon have been fully healed. Good luck on your journey, I hope you make it to Indigo Plateau."

"Thank you."

Jason walked away from the counter, Alice was there at the door waiting for him.

"I think we should stay here for the night." She said to Jason.

"Come on Alice if we go now we can make it to Pewter City." Jason replied.

"Umm, I'm not going to go sleep in a bug infested forest when I can sleep in a nice warm bed."

"I'm sorry." Nurse Joy said. "But all of our beds are taken."

"What? Oh no!" Alice was upset by the news.

"Well looks like we're going through Viridian Forest." Jason said triumphantly.

"Umm excuse me, but I couldn't help overhearing your conversation." A female voice said.

Jason, Alice, and Shinx turned to look at the source of the voice. Their was a girl, a bit younger than Alice, walking up to them. She wore a white T shirt, blue jeans, a black cloak that reached down to her knees, and had black shoes with white laces. She had black hair that went down to her waist and serious blue eyes. She also had a guitar carrying case hung over her shoulders.

"My name is Akira Hoshiko and I may be able to help you with your problem." She said. "You two can stay the night at my house and continue your journey in the morning."

"Thanks Akira, but no tha" Jason started saying, but Alice put one of her hands over his mouth to stop him from talking.

"Jason." Alice whispered to him. "Please lets just stay. I don't want to sleep in a forest filled with bugs."

"Okay." He mumbled.

Alice moved her hand away from his mouth.

"What I meant to say was, Me and my cousin would appreciate a place to stay tonight." Jason said.

"That would be fine." Akira replied. "I didn't get your names."

"My name is Alice." Alice answered, "And this is my cousin Jason."

"Its nice to meet you." Jason said.

"Its nice to meet both of you." Akira replied. "Follow me."

Akira walked out of the Pokemon Center, and with that the two followed her to a small single story house. Akira opened the door and walked in. Jason and Alice followed her in, Jason closed the door since he was the last one in. The first room they were in was the main room which has two couches and tv and a small coffee table. There were two hallways branching off of the main room, one that lead to the kitchen and dining room and the other which lead to the three bedrooms.

"Mom!" Akira called out. "I'm home and I bought company!"

A woman who looked to be in her late thirties came in from the kitchen.

"Oh and who are your knew friends?" Her mom asked in a cheerful voice.

"This is Jason and Alice." Akira replied. "They are traveling Pokemon Trainers."

"That's wonderful. I'm guessing you need a place to stay tonight…well you two are more then welcome to stay. We only have one extra bedroom though."

"That's okay." Jason said. "Alice can have the spare bedroom I'll take the one of the couches if that's okay."

"That's fine. You two are just in time for dinner won't you join us?"

"That sounds great!" Alice replied.

The four went into the dining room, Akira's mom had already set up dinner, she just put out two more plates. The four sat down to dinner.

"So Jason." Akira's mom asked. "How long have you been traveling?"

"We've only been traveling for a day, I just started my journey today." Jason replied.

"I'm suppose to start my journey tomorrow." Akira cut in.

"I'm a little sad to see Akira leave, but all little Pidgeys must leave the nest."

Alice tapped Jason on the should, "Maybe you should ask Akira if she would like to travel with us."

Jason noded.

"Akira, Alice and I were wondering if maybe you'd like to travel with us?" Jason asked.

Akira looked at them for a second. "If its okay with you two then sure." She replied.

"But first." Jason said inbetween bites. "I need to see if you can handle yourself, so how about a battle."

"A battle?" Her face showing a bit of surprise. "Okay, but after dinner."

Jason quickly ate and he waited for Akira and Alice to finish. When they were finished Akira led Alice and Jason to the backyard.

"We will have our battle here." Akira said as she walked to the opposite side. "I only have two Pokemon."

"That's fine." Jason replied. "I'll just use two then."

"Go Eevee." Akira said as she tossed a Pokeball.

An Eevee poped out.

"Eevee!" It cried happily.

"Another Eevee." Jason said to himself. "Then I'll choose, Pidgey go!"

The Pokeball hit the ground and out appeared the small bird Pokemon. Pidgey flew up into the air.

"Okay Pidgey. Use Tackle attack."

The Pidgey launched towards the Eevee at an fast pace.

"Eevee." Akira called out. "Dodge and use your own Tackle."

Eevee jumped up in the air, just before the Pidgey made contact. Pidgey crashed into the ground and the Eevee came slamming down on it. The Pidgey hit the ground again even harder, kicking up dirt as it did. The Pidgey had fainted.

"Wah! Pidgey return." Jason said. "Okay that was fast, your Eevee is strong, but lets see if it can handle my first Pokemon." Jason looked down at Shinx. "Okay its all riding on you, Go!"

Shinx took of in a run towards the Eevee.

"Eevee use Quick Attack." Akira ordered.

As the two Pokemon neared, Eevee jumped up in the air again to slam down on Shinx.

"Shinx!" Jason called out. "Thundershock."

Shinx launced a yellow bolt of Electricity at the Eevee, the Eevee was hit and thrown back. It hit the ground right in front of Akira, it had fainted.

"Eevee return." Akira said. "Your Shinx is Impressive." She tossed another Pokeball.

Another Eevee appeared.

"Eevee again." Jason said. "Okay Shinx use Charge."

"Eevee use Attract." Akira ordered.

Eevee spun around, did an attractive pose, and winked at Shinx. Shinx's eyes had hearts in them.

"Oh no!" Jason said. "Shinx come on snap out of it!"

"Eevee, use Quick Attack."

Eevee took off towards Shinx at an Incredible speed, It hit the Shinx hard. Shinx was launched back and landed in Jason'arms.

"Shinx…" It said sadly.

"Its okay." Jason said with a smile. "You did good."

"Is it okay?" Akira asked as she ran up to them.

"Yeah its fine." Jason said as he put the Shinx down. "Well I guess you're capable of taking care of yourself."

"She seems more then capable." Alice said.

"Thank you for letting me go with you guys." Akira said. "But its getting kind of late. We should go the sleep."

The street lights had come on during there battle.

"Yeah! Especially since we need to get going first thing in the morning." Jason pointed out.

The three walked into the house. Akira showed them where they would be sleeping. Jason and Alice were asleep as soon as there heads hit the pillows. In the morning, Jason, Shinx, and Alice were waiting outside for Akira, she was gathering her things and saying good bye to her mom.

"You ready?" Jason asked.

Akira nodded.

"Then lets go."

The three headed out of Viridian City and started on their way to Viridian Forest.
