Chapter Three
Sara and her Pokemon were both breathing hard. Bulbasuar had managed to take out Brock's First Pokemon, a Geodude, without losing. The Geodude hit Bulbasuar with a few tackles before being done in by Bulbasaur's vine whip. Sara was assessing the situation as the Gym Leader recalled his pokemon.
"You did a good job taking out my first Pokemon." Brock told Sara. "But can you do the same with my strongest pokemon."
Brock threw a Pokeball out onto the field. The ball burst open revealing a large snake like pokemon made of boulders. The onix, as our pokedexs said, let out a roar that caused us to cover our ears.
"Bulbasuar come here!" Sara yelled after the roar ceased. Bulbasuar ran back to receive a potion in hopes that she'll be able to tough out the fight.
"Quick Onix, use Rock Tomb." Brock commanded.
"Use vine whip to get out of there!" Bulbasuar followed Sara's order and used Vine whip to get out of the way of the falling boulders.
"Now use Leech Seed!" I could see what Sara was trying. By using Leech Seed Bulbasuar would slowly regain energy. Bulbasaur shot a bunch of seeds as Onix which sprouted into small two leafed plants.
"Use Bind!" The Onix shot out at Bulbasuar and wrapped around her. Onix was staring at Bulbasaur as he squeezed her. Sara was starting to panic, I could see it.
"Sara calm down and think." I called.
"Hey!" Brock yelled angrily. "This is a match you can not give her advice!"
"Sorry!" I called to him.
"I could end the match because of that."
"Then I would have to say I never gave her advice on the match itself. No moves or options were given by me." I called totally being a technicality Lawyer.
Brock rolled his eyes. "Don't interfere again okay." I settled back down into my seat with tesla in my lap and Pyro watching the match earnestly. Brock and my conversation had halted the match for a slight amount of time. Onix held Bulbasuar tight enough to were it didn't hurt her anymore but she still couldn't squirm her way out. Brock waved his hand signalling the match to continue. Onix scrunched back down on Bulbasuar causing Sara to rack her mind for something to do.
"Sleep powder!" She cried out in a desperate attempt. Bulbasuar released a cloud of green powder from her bulb at Onix's face. Onix got a huge whiff and became drowsy. swaying slightly his hold on Bulbasuar loosened. Bulbasuar managed to get out and rush over to Sara with Onix falling behind her. Onix's impact caused me to get thrown out of my seat. I landed on my back with my pokemon landing on top of me.
Sara got to her own feet. the sleeping Onix turned into a red light before getting sucked into it's pokeball. Bulbasuar was barely standing in front of Sara looking out on the battlefield.
"Congratulations." Brock said walking over to Sara. "You've beat me." Bulbasuar collapsed in exhaustion.
"Looks like it was right in time too." Brock laughed.
"That was really tough." Sara said picking up Bulbasuar.
"Here, this is the Boulder Badge. It is your first step in becoming the champion." Brock handed the small object to Sara. "And this is the TM for Rock Tomb."
"Thank you." Sara accepted the gifts.
"So I guess you're wanting to fight me next?" Brock asked me.
"Not at the moment. I would like to get some more training before I attempt your gym." I told him. "However Pyro here seems to have taken to the idea of fighting your Pokemon."
Brock looked at my Pokemon. "Well I can't wait to see what you end up doing. Especially because Of your type disadvantages."
"That is true. I'll have to think of something to beat your gym." I told him. We shook hands before leaving the gym. Our first stop was the pokecenter to get Sara's Pokemon healed. The nurse took Bulbasaur into the back to heal her.
"Do you need your pokemon healed as well?" Nurse Joy asked me.
"No they're fine. The most extensive thing they have done all day is eating." I told her. She smiled before rushing off to the phone that was ringing.
"That was a tough battle though." Sara commented as we waited.
"I saw you freaking out when Bulbasuar was getting wrapped."
"Yeah, I got so stressed I couldn't think of a way to get her out of that. I actually managed to get my thoughts in order somewhat when you shouted and caused a scene."
"I noticed. I won't be able to do that much more. We got lucky because Brock determined it didn't actually interfere with the battle itself."
"Kyle Red?" The nurse who answered the phone was saying. "I'll see if he has checked in. May I ask who this is?"
I turned to her to hear better. Sara stopped talking apparently noticing my attention elsewhere.
"His mother. Okay, I'll check for him right now." I rushed over to the counter scaring the nurse slightly.
"I'm not here!" I whispered to her. "Do not let her know anything about me."
The nurse looked at me with a mixture of a scared and puzzled look on her face. "I'm sorry, I don't see anything on him being here. May I take a message in case he does check in? Okay... Yes... Mother forgives him... Call her... I got it thank you. I'll pass the message on if I ever see Kyle." The Nurse hung up the phone and sat back looking at me.
"Thank you. It's just well." I scratched my head trying to find a way out of telling the nurse about my life.
"Personal?" The nurse supplemented for me.
"Most definitely." I sighed.
"I understand. Listen, we nurses here aren't just for Pokemon. We also take care of humans as well. If you ever need to talk any of us are willing to listen."
"Thank you. I'll take you up on that offer if it ever comes up." I promised before returning to Sara who was getting here Pokemon back.
"Everything okay?" She asked me.
"My mom was just calling around to try to find me. I managed to get the nurse to tell her I'm not here." I explained.
"That's good. Say, we got still a lot of time before the sun goes down. What should we do?" Sara gave me a way out of the conversation that I gladly took.
"I don't know. I saw a Museum down the road from the gym. Wanna go check that out?"
"Sure."
The museum had a small fee to enter. We payed our way in and started to look around. They had several exhibits of different Pokemon in different habitats. A fake ghastly was was huge above a tombstone in one. Another had a bunch of rock type pokemon in a cave. Eventually we ended up in the ancient Pokemon section. Several Pokemon fossils and rocks with odd patterns on them were displayed.
"It's amazing to think that we are living on the same planet as these pokemon did." Sara commented looking over a skeleton of a bug like pokemon with large claws and a dome head. The plak said it was a Kabutops.
"Yeah, could you imagine living in a world with things like that." I said in awe looking over a flying pokemon fossil set.
"I believe there is a movie explaining why that would be a horrible idea." A voice spoke in an accent I haven't heard before. Turning to look at the owner of the voice I noticed he was wearing a lab coat. he stood looking over the fossils in the exhibit. He must have just walked up because he wasn't there a moment ago.
"Really? I haven't seen it." Sara told him. "Have you Kyle?"
"I've never been big into movies." I told her.
"Well some mad scientist tried to make a park full of extinct di-Er, Pokemon, by using the DNA from blood sucking insects trapped in fossilized tree sap. At one point he invited people to come look at them and the much larger pokemon ended up killing a lot of them."
"Really? What's the name? I might go watch it later."
The man looked taken back slightly before shaking his head and scratching his chin. "You know I can't remember the name off the top of my head."
"Really, that's a bummer." Sara said sadly. I was looking at the man suspiciously. Something about him felt kind of off. The man caught me staring so I quickly turned my head and pretended to look interested in the fossils in front of me.
"Well. I should go." The man said and walked off. He had turned the corner before I turned to Sara.
"That guy seemed off." I told her.
"Eh he was okay. It seemed like he only wanted to have a conversation." She told me.
"I don't know. He just left me suspicious." I turned around to walk to the next exhibit.
"About what?"
"I don't know. He just... He felt like he didn't belong here I guess." I shook my head. "Who knows."
"Okay. Well what do you plan on doing?"
"Probably some training so that Pyro and Tesla can beat this gym. It will take some time and Tesla probably won't be much help considering she only know move that don't effect ground types or normal type that don't do much damage. It really sucks that he has a Geodude and a Onix. If he used pokemon with only Rock Type Tesla could take them."
"I don't think there are any Pokemon that are only Rock types."
"Not alive at least." I said jabbing a thumb at the fossils behind me. "These guys were Rock Water types with the exception of Aerodactyl who was a Rock Flying. Tesla could take them in a fight."
"Well that is true." Sara glanced at her watch. "The museum is going to close in a little. What do you say we leave." I nodded and called for my Pokemon. Pyro came over with Tesla not far behind. We left the museum and headed to the pokemon center. Sara and I left to our individual rooms once we arrived. PYro, Tesla and I all fell asleep soon after arriving in our room in preparation for the next day.
Alpha's Note:
Alright I know. Short chapter and it took me forever to post it. Honestly I don't even have a good excuse for not posting it sooner. I just could not get it done.
