Chapter 4: The Journey to Pewter City!

Orange had finally begun his journey! With Charmander and Beldum at his side, he planned to head to Pewter City to challenge the Gym Leader, Brock. Brock was a rock type specialist, and rock type Pokemon have an advantage over fire types like Charmander. We join Orange on Route 1….

"Charmander, Beldum, come on out!"

"Char!" "Bel!"

"Let's do a little training! We need to toughen up in order to take on Brock."

So Orange trained with both Charmander and Beldum, who both benefited greatly from it. Beldum was able to learn Iron Head and Zen Headbutt. The only other move it knows is Take Down. Charmander also managed to learn smokescreen as well.

"Great work guys!" Said Orange giving both of his Pokemon a thumbs up.

"Let's get moving to reach Viridian City!"

Orange and his Pokemon moved on to Viridian City and arrived by nighttime. Orange decided to check into the local Pokemon Center and stay there for the night.

"It Sucks that we didn't reach Pewter City…" Said Orange a little disappointed.

"Char…." "Bel…" Both of his pokemon agreed sadly.

"Alright well let's get some sleep, we have a big day tomorrow!"

Orange woke the next morning bright and early. He went and got breakfast for him and his Pokemon, then proceeded north of Viridian City to head towards Pewter City. He decided to let his Pokemon out for a little while to walk with him.

"Come on out guys!"

"Charmander!" "Beldum Bel!" Said his Pokemon with excitement.

Orange knew that in order to get to Pewter City, he would have to pass through Viridian Forest. Viridian Forest was kind of a maze and if not you're not careful, you could lose your way. Orange wasn't concerned though, he had been through Viridian Forest many times with his mom see his uncle. When he reached the forest entrance, he noticed a familiar looking girl in a round purple hat,purple shirt, black skirt standing there with a Bulbasaur, he recognized her as Violet.

"Hey Violet! Over here!" Yelled Orange.

"Oh hey Orange! How are ya?" Said Violet with a small blush.

"Pretty well! How's Bulbasaur?"

"He's doing great! But wait, what's that Pokemon floating next to Charmander?" Said Violet a little curious.

"That's Beldum! I received him from my Dad for my birthday, right buddy?"

"Bel!" Said Beldum while flying in circles around Orange.

"That's such a cool Pokemon! I need to catch another Pokemon if I'm gonna catch up to you!" Said Violet with a determined face.

"I'm sure you'll be able to catch one soon, especially since Viridian Forest is crawling with wild Pokemon."

"I guess you're right...besides, I have Bulbasaur's help as well!"

"Bulba Bulbasaur!" Said Bulbasaur while giving Violet a high five with it's vine.

"Hang on, my Pokegear is ringing."

"Hello?"

"Orange! Glad to hear from you!"

"Oh hi Prof. Oak! What can I do for you?"

"You see, I need a favor. Just like yourself and my Great Granddaughter Violet, A third child has just received her first Pokemon, which was Squirtle just over two hours ago. After receiving her pokedex, I asked her if she would need any further assistance and she asked if it would be possible for a guide through Viridian Forest. I was wondering if you would be able to help."

"Of course Professor! I'm just at the entrance to Viridian Forest now."

"Good to hear! I don't mean to make you backtrack a little bit, but would you mind returning to Viridian City and meeting up with her?"

"Of course Professor, but what is her name and what does she look like?"

"Her name is Luna and the last time I saw her, she was dressed in a blue and black skirt/dress and had long blonde hair."

"Ok, thanks! Where would you like me to meet her?"

"In front of the local Viridian City Gym if that would be OK with you."

"Yep, that should be Ok."

"Thank you very much Orange, I will be sure to call her now and let her know. Good luck on your travels!"

"Thanks, bye Professor!"

Orange put away his Pokegear and turned to face Violet.

"Who was that?" Said Violet.

"That was Prof. Oak. He needs me to head back to Viridian cause he needs a favor from me."

"Oh OK...So you'll be leaving now?" Violet said while looking sad.

"Yeah, but if you want to come with me then you're more than welcome to tag along." Said Orange with a smile as usual.

"Sure! That sounds awesome! Let's go!" Said Violet super excited.

"(OMG this is awesome! I finally some time alone with Orange!)" Thought Violet with a smirk.

"OK great, then let's get going!"

The two then proceeded to head for Viridian City to find this Luna that Prof. Oak was talking about, even though Violet is unaware of what the Professor's favor is actually about….
