On the last episode of Pokemon: 20 Years later…
"Hey, no one said it would be easy, son. Now I reckon the next town over has a gym. And that one is easy to find, and heck, it's easier to beat."
"A contest, eh? We should all enter!" Jamie said, excited. "That prize sounds cool!"
"I'm… sorry, Bulbasaur. What was I thinking?" A tear formed at the corner of his eye. "I promise, I'll get you feeling better in no time!" He ran to the exit, back the way he came.
"I can't believe it…. I got a Pikachu! I'm so happy!" Jamie ran out and towards the building. Ironically, the PA's announcement rang when he got there.
"Folks…" The Manager started. "I was only kidding! Danny actually got last place. Sorry kiddo." Everyone laughed and Danny went back to his seat. He was sad and embarrassed. "Now, on to the real winner. The REAL winner is…"
Episode 4: Disabled and Confused
"…Jamie, for his Pikachu!" The Manager finished. Everyone looked around, shocked at what they just heard.
"I-I won? I WON! THIS IS GREAT!" Jamie cheered, jumping in the air. He ran up to the podium. "I'd like to thank my brothers, my Squirts, and myself for being awesome!"
The Manager shook his hand, and gave him the prize. "For catching a Pokemon that hasn't been seen here in over 5 years, Jamie receives this TM!"
Jamie received TM24! It contains Thunderbolt! Jamie stared at the disc. "I can use this on Pikachu, too! This is great!" After getting an applause, he walked back to Danny and Andy.
"Wow, nice catch bro. Those things are really strong!" Andy commented.
"Thanks. I was so focused on catching one. You could call it luck, because it pretty much came to me." Jamie bragged.
"Yeah, you go on and celebrate. I'm going to Pewter." Danny, said jealously.
"Meh, don't get your panties in a bunch. It's your fault you caught-" Jamie tried to hold his laughter. "Caught-" Jamie burst out laughing.
"Why you little-" Danny started chasing after Jamie.
"Guys, let's go. We have to get to Pewter City!" Andy pointed out.
"HEEEEELP!" Someone shouted. They ran to over who was screaming. It was the guy that signed them up. "P-Please, help. S-someone j-just came over and attacked me! Then 2 other guys took the Pokemon!"
"What pokemon…" Jamie muttered.
"All of the trainers pokemon!" He said. "They took them all!" By this time, all of the different people were gathered around. They all looked panic-stricken.
"What should we do?
"My poor pokemon!"
"Where did the guys go?"
"Call the police!"
"Let's chase after them!"
"I'm too scared!"
"Insert random phrase here!"
"Now, everyone calm down." One man started. "Let's all go and catch these goons. I say we split up and search the whole forest." The crowd started to bicker among each other.
"Forget these geeks! I'm going to Pewter City!" Danny said.
"Come on, Danny, we should help." Andy said.
"Why? We have our pokemon. I don't want to get sidetracked again."
"I say we go. We might get rewards!" Andy said. "We'll be heroes!" Danny thought about it for a second.
"Alright… my Charmander can take care of the thieves."
"Ok! Danny, Jamie, let's go!" Andy happily replied.
The three set off to find the Pokemon thieves. This proved to be a difficult task, because Viridian Forest was huge.
"Man, this is harder than I thought. I don't think we'll ever find them…" Andy said.
"We can't give up! Those people are pretty much counting on us." Jamie replied.
"Stupid cowardly geeks…" Danny complained. "Why did it have to be us? We don't have any reason to be doing this."
"Because, I told you already. We'll be heroes and get rewards!" Andy said.
They walked for another hour, still no luck. They were about to give up when they heard a strange noise.
"Hey… do you guys hear that?" Jamie asked. "I hear talking!"
"Yeah… let's go check it out." Andy said. They crept up behind a bush, and saw 3 guys around a fire. There, sitting behind them, was the container with the pokemon! They listened to the guys talking.
"Man, that was so easy! Ambushing those geeks was ingenious!" A guy with a green cap said.
"Heh, we should do that more often. Best thing is, those cowards are too scared to chase after us!" A fat guy said.
"Every week. We'll keep doing it! Hey… should we look at the Pokemon we got?" A dude wearing a wife-beater asked.
"No! Not yet. We gotta get out of this forest first." Green Cap replied.
Andy was getting angry. "Those pricks. I say we storm in there, and teach em a lesson."
"Shouldn't we wait until they fall asleep? I mean for all we know they could be champions." Jamie answered.
"Yeah but… see the guy with the green cap? I ran into him yesterday. He asked me if the bug-catching contest started yet. I have to battle him." Andy explained.
"I'm down with that! A real battle would be nice!" Danny added. "I call the fat guy."
"Ok, here's the plan. We jump out and battle them." Andy said.
"Wow! Great plan…" Jamie commented sarcastically.
"Ok… ready… GO!" Andy shouted. The three jumped out and completely startled the three goons.
"What the hell?!?" The guy in the wife beater shouted. "Who are you chumps?"
"You kids better get outta here…" The fat guy added.
"Well well well… "Green Cap started. "Hey guys, that's the kids with the injured Bulbasaur!"
"That Bulbasaur can kick your ass!" Andy shot back.
"Is that so?" he replied. "Guys, looks like we got a challenge."
Jamie and Danny stepped up. They all faced each other, ready to battle.
Andy grabbed his Pokeball. "Let's go, chump."
Green Cap nodded fiercely. "Go, Pokeball!" The ball flew in the air. The other guys followed suit.
"What's that?" Andy asked to himself. "Better check on this."
"Machop. Its body is pure muscle. Its special attack is the Seismic Toss."
"Better watch out for that…" Andy muttered.
Meanwhile, Jamie lined up to battle the guy in the wife-beater. Jamie decided to use his new Pikachu to battle. The guy laughed at it, and threw out his pokemon. It came out, and a horrible smell oozed out.
"What IS that thing?" Jamie asked, pinching his nose from the smell. Even Pikachu disliked the odor.
"Grimer, a sludge Pokemon. Born from sludge, these pokemon specialize in sludge attacks."
"I gotta beat this pokemon quick, before I puke." Jamie said.
While those battles were beginning, Danny chose his Charmander to battle. The fat guy was slow in choosing his battle pokemon. "Come on chubby, I ain't got all day." Danny said, getting impatient.
"Hold on, junior. I have too many strong Pokemon. I can't decide!" Danny rolled his eyes. "Ok! I decided! Come on out!"
Danny stared at his opponent's pokemon. "Wow. That doesn't look strong at all..."
"Psyduck, the Duck Pokemon. When a Psyduck's headache gets severe, it starts to exhibit odd powers."
"Odd powers, eh? This should be interesting!" Danny exclaimed.
"Bulbasaur, use Tackle!" Andy commanded. It ran towards Machop.
"Dodge it, Machop! Use Karate chop!" It jumped up to avoid the attack and slammed it's hand down on Bulbasaur's head, making it dizzy. "Now Machop, use Low Kick!" It's foot went straight at Bulbasaurs legs, and flipped it on its back.
"No, Bulbasaur! Get up! Use another tackle!" Bulbasaur ran towards Machop, this time it didn't have time to avoid the hit. Machop was sent backwards, and landed on its back. "Good job! Now hit it again!" Bulbasaur obeyed and ran towards it again.
"Get up, Machop! Give it a Seismic Toss!" Just like that, Machop jumped up and waited until Bulbasaur came near. When Bulbasaur's hit connected, Machop caught it's head, and began spinning it around.
"Bulbasaur! Break free! Come on!" However, Bulbasaur couldn't break free of Machop. It sent Bulbasaur flying in the air, and it hit a tree hard.
"Alright…" Jamie said. "Pikachu, let's take care of this pile of crap. Hit it with a Thundershock!" Pikachu lit up its body and electric rushed out, headed straight towards Grimer.
"Grimer! Use Harden!" Grimer tightened up and began to turn almost metallic. The electric didn't seem to affect it at all. "Good job Grimer, now give it a Sludge attack!" Grimer spit out a wad of sludge and it headed towards Pikachu.
"Dodge it, Pikachu! Use Quick Attack!" Pikachu ran fast right at Grimer, and hit it dead on. "Now use another Thundershock!" Another burst of electricity hit Grimer. It was unable to protect itself, and fell back.
"Get up Grimer, Pound it!" Grimer went unusually fast and punched Pikachu, sending it backwards.
Danny looked at the Psyduck. "I might take it down in one hit…" He said to himself. "A Flamethrower should take care of this. Now Charmander, use Flamethrower!" The fat guy just stood there and smirked. The flames engulfed Psyduck, but it didn't seem too bothered. It stood there, and kept holding its head.
"Psyduck, use Amnesia." Psyduck didn't seem to react, but unknown to Danny, the guys plan was working.
"Alrighty then…" Danny said, looking confused. "Charmander, Scratch!" Charmander ran towards Psyduck, and scratched it's big head. "Keep it up! That thing will keel over any second!"
"Psyduck, Let it attack!"
"Hah, even he wants you to scratch!" Charmander kept scratching Psyduck's head. It started to get exhausted from the same move over and over.
"Keep it up, loser…" The fat guy said to himself.
Andy ran over to Bulbasaur. "Are you… ok?" He asked.
"Saur…" The pokemon nodded weakly.
"Looks like we lost…" Andy said, upset. Bulbasaur started to get up. "Bulbasaur! You're too weak to battle!"
Bulbasaur shook its head and faced the Machop. It looked determined to win. A seed started to appear on the tip of its bulb.
"What's that?" Andy asked. "Is that… another move?" He took out his Pokedex to find out.
"Leech Seed. One of Bulbasaur's special attacks."
"Great! Bulbasaur, use Leech Seed!" Bulbasaur sent the seed directly at Machop.
"No Machop!" Use Karate Chop!" Machop began run towards Bulbasaur, but it began to take its effect. Its energy was being drained.
"Bulbasaur, use another tackle!" Bulbasaur hit Machop once again, and it collapsed.
"MACHOP!" Green Cap ran up to his fainted Machop. "You good for nothing Pokemon…" he returned it to his Pokeball.
"We did it, Bulbasaur! Our first victory!" Andy cheered.
Meanwhile, Grimer was pounding on Pikachu. "Get up, Pikachu!" Jamie cried. "Give it another Quick Attack!" Pikachu barely got up and ran towards Grimer.
"Grimer, use Poison Gas!" Grimer emitted a fog of purple gas, floating towards Pikachu. It couldn't handle the foul smell and collapsed.
"Pikachu, no!" Jamie knew it was done. "Return! Alright Squirts, it's your turn!" He sent out the Pokeball and Squirtle popped out.
"A Squirtle, eh? Ok, Grimer, use Mud-Slap!" Grimer sent a wad of mud at Squirtle.
"Squirtle, use Withdraw!" Squirlte went inside its shell, which protected it from the incoming attack. "Now use Bubble!" A small group of bubbles headed towards Grimer, but it had no time to avoid the hit.
"Grimer, pound!" Grimer didn't do anything.
"Alright, Squirts, tackle it!" Squirtle ran full speed towards Grimer.
"Dodge it!" However, the tackle was too fast, and hit it dead on. It collapsed.
"Hang in there, Grimer!" Grimer twitched, but didn't get up. "NOOOOOOOOOOO! How did I lose?"
"Because, your Grimer got paralysis when Pikachu's thunder hit you. It couldn't dodge the attack." Jamie explained.
"Alright, Charmander, finish it with another Flamethrower." Danny commanded. The flames hit Psyduck, who took the hit, and still didn't move.
"It's time, Psyduck. Use your Disable!" Psyducks eyes began to glow.
"What the…" Danny stuttered. "Charmander, scratch it!" However, Charmander could not move. "Oh crap, he's disabled!"
"Oh really? I didn't know that!" The fat guy said sarcastically. "Ok Psyduck, finish him. Use your Confusion!" Charmander was lifted in the air telepathically, and slammed down to the ground.
"No! This can't be happening!" Danny cried. "I have no one left… except…" Danny thought for a moment. "Well, I have no other choice. Return Charmander! And here goes nothing… gulp… go Caterpie…" Out came the small Caterpillar he had accidentally caught at the contest.
The fat guy burst out laughing. "This is the best you can do? A CATERPIE?" He couldn't stop laughing.
Danny looked ashamed. He looked at his Caterpillar, who was eyeing the Psyduck curiously. "I should take the chance now and attack. Caterpie…" He said in a whisper. "Use tackle…" The Caterpie wiggled over to Psyduck and lunged at it. The force knocked Psyduck on it's behind. "…Again…" Caterpie did the same and tackled the duck.
The fat guy noticed this next tackle. "Hey! That's not fair… attacking while I was distracted…" He moaned. "Psyduck, take care of this Pipsqueak. Use Water Gun!"
"Caterpie, dodge it!" Caterpie tried to dodge, but was too slow to escape. The water hit it and sent it spiraling backwards. It got up, and it looked pissed. "Caterpie, Tackle!" Caterpie moved faster than before and collided with Psyduck, knocking it over completely.
"Psyduck, give it a confusion!" It's eyes began to glow.
"Oh no, what should I do?" Danny asked to himself. He thought hard, and got an idea. "Caterpie, use String Shot! Shoot at it's head!"
"Wha's this" The fat guy said. "What are you doing?"
"Well… Psyduck can't use Confusion on Caterpie if it can't see it." Danny said. "I'm a genius!" The silk covered Psyducks head completely, making it unable to complete its attack. "Ok Caterpie, finish it with a Tackle!" It sped towards Psyduck and once again knocked it over. This time it didn't get up.
"My Psyduck lost..." The fat guy muttered. "I... lost..."
"Where's your other strong pokemon?" Danny asked mockingly.
The fat guy started to cry. "I don't have any! WHAAAHH!"
"Looks like we won then!" Danny exclaimed. "Great job Caterpie!" Caterpie looked delighted. Then it looked odd.
"What's wrong, Caterpie?"
"Cater…pie.." It's voice sounded faint. Then it started to spit silk in the air.
"What's going on?" Danny asked. The silk began to cover Caterpie's body. When it stopped, Caterpie was no longer there.
"It… evolved? It evolved!"
"Metapod, Caterpie's next stage. It has encased its body in a hard shell."
"Sweet, we won AND my pokemon evolved! What a great day!" Danny cheered.
"Guys, let's get out of here!" The fat guy screamed. The three thieves ran off like little pansies.
"Looks like we saved the day!" Andy exclaimed. "Me and Bulbasaur got our first win!"
"Yeah, both of my pokemon did great!" Jamie added. "Let's get these stolen pokemon back to everyone. The three went back to the building. They were all excited for their first victory.
"Our pokemon!" One Bug Catcher cheered.
"Thanks a lot!" Another exclaimed.
"We all here like to thank you for rescuing our pokemon." The Manager said. "We owe you one, big time."
"You bet you do! Now where's our awards?" Danny said.
"Awards? Shouldn't the joy of knowing you saved dozens of trainers' pokemon enough of an award?" the manager asked, puzzled.
"Hell yeah! I just busted my ass for nothing!" Danny complained.
"Come one Danny, let's go… we got a gym to challenge." Jamie said.
"Fine. But I think this is bullcrap."
The three headed to the forest yet again, this time no distractions. It was very late at night, and the three walked silently in the dark forest. Strange things started happening.
"W-what was that?" Andy stuttered. Did you hear that?
"I didn't hear nothing. Your mind's playin tricks on ya." Jamie answered.
"Grrr…"
"Alright, who did that?" Jamie asked, a little nervous.
"It wasn't me." Danny said.
"Me niether." Andy added.
"GRRR…" The trio heard the menacing growl.
"OSHI-"
To be continued…
UH-OH TIMES TWENTY! A GROWL? WTF IS GOING ON?!? What a thriller. May see some violence next chapter. Maybe even a death! :O Just kidding. Anyway, is anyone mad that I'm taking such a long time before they get a badge? I never meant for it to take so long… sorry. Good news though, Pewter City is in the next chapter! Weird… in the show Ash gets there in the 5th… and they do too… what a coinkydink. Also, did you like my battle scenes? I think I did good, considering I had to juggle all 3 of them. That's not happening again though. XD Am I boring you? I sincerely apologize. I'll stop talking. I'm a chatterbox. That makes me wonder, who thought of that nickname? It's pretty cool. That's pretty clever. I should research that on Wikipedia. But then again, it could be wrong. What if everything on there is wrong? D: Everything is a lie… what if life is a lie? That means this fic is a lie… oh god… *Explodes*
So stay tuned, folks! ß New catchphrase.
And last but not least, R-E-V-I-E-W.
