4. Bug types and campouts

"Wait for us" I yelled as Chloe and I tried catching up with the hyperactive 13 year old; Bulbasaur, Charmander, and Squirtle running just behind us. "So where are we going?" I asked him as we caught up to Cody. He then pulled a map out of his pocket and moved his finger across it. "If we plan to do the Gym challenge then we should go to Pewter City. I plan on changing them myself." I smiled "Me too, so I guess eventually we will fight in the indigo league."

"What about you Chloe, do you plan to enter the indigo league?" "No" she responded "I think I just want to travel and meet new people and Pokémon." "Yeah" I said "When we were little we both agreed to travel together when we got our first Pokémon." As we kept walking a horrible smell started to arise from the trees. "What is that horrible smell?" Chloe asked covering her nose. As she said that a small green caterpillar landed on her face.

"Ahhhhhhh!" She screamed in a blind attempt to swat the small creature off her face. "Let's see what this is" I said pulling out my pokedex.

"Caterpie, the Worm Pokémon. To repel enemies, Caterpie releases an unpleasant odor from its red antenna, it molts several times while growing."

Chloe finally got Caterpie off her face and got a good look at it. "You know you are kind of cute." She said smiling at it. "How would you like to come travel with us?" Bulbasaur was right under Chloe looking up at the small bug type, smiling at the chance to get a new friend. Caterpie nodded its little head, and then it jumped down to the ground. It ran back a little bit and glared at her and Bulbasaur.

"What are you doing?" Chloe asked. "I think it wants to have a battle with you." Cody said pointedly. "Bulbasaur, you ready for your first Pokémon battle?" "Bulba-saur" it responded with glee preparing itself. "Bulbasaur use tackle on Caterpie." Bulbasaur slammed into the unsuspecting little bug type. Caterpie shot out a steam of silk at Bulbasaur slowing it down.

Bulbasaur Growled as it shot glowing green seed from the top of the bulb on its back."What is that?" Chloe asked looking at her pokedex. "Oh cool Bulbasaur you learned leach seed. Keep using it." Bulbasaur continued to launch seed at the helpless little bug. Each seed released vines that wrapped up Caterpie. Static danced across the vines injuring the bug type.

"Ok," Chloe said grabbing a pokeball. "Go pokeball." She yelled tossing the small orb at Caterpie.

Once,

Twice'

Three times.

Pop!

Chloe ran over and cradled the pokeball in her arms. "This is amazing!" She screamed hopping around. Bulbasaur joined her in the antics. "Wow" I said smiling. "Looks like Bulbasaur is starting to gain some of your personality." "Why thank you." She said giving me and Cody a huge smile. "So how big is this Viridian Forest?" I asked turning to Cody.

"It should take about a day's time to get through without any difficulties." He responded looking at his map. "But first I think we should set up camp and leave first thing in the morning." He said. "Yeah, we like that idea." Chloe and I agreed.

10 Minutes later.

"So" I said Sighing. "None of us thought to bring sleeping bags or tents." The good thing was that Charmander was there and its tail worked as a good source of heat. Squirtle was in his shell fast asleep on my stomach Rattata on my face. Bulbasaur was at Chloe's feet and Caterpie was in her arms. Charmander slept in the middle of the off shape circle we made so it could warm us. Mankey just slept on a tree branch. "Goodnight" we all said to each other and our Pokémon.

Please give me some ideas for what you would like to happen in this story. I didn't get any new Pokemon ideas so I came of with one for Chloe to catch. Well what do you think will happen in Veridian Forest and beyond. I already have a name for that chapter "Viridian Forest Fiasco". I hope you are liking my story and i will try to get more out a little faster. I also changed Mankey's move list instead of Growl he has Lear.

Scott: Squirtle; Tackle, Withdrawl

Ratatta; Bite

Chloe: Bulbasaur; Tackle, Growl, Leech Seed

Caterpie; Tackle, String Shot

Cody: Charmander; Scratch, Ember, Growl

Mankey; Rock Throw, Leer

Until next time, see ya.
