Me: (tries to quietly walk in)
All: WHERE THE FUCK HAVE YOU BEEN?
Me: Hey guys. Well um how to say this? Ok, well major thing is was school and whole bunch of other personal issues I had to deal with so sorry for being gone for over a month. But I'm back or now at least so I should be able to write more, no promises.
Red: Well that's better than nothing.
Azure: Agreed.
Blue: I'm still not happy.
Me: Why do you always mess with me? You got 2 other males to fuck with.
Azure and Red: HEY!
Azure: Wait aren't you and I the same person.
Me: Touché, well sucks that leaves Red.
Red: You suck.
Me: Just read the disclaimer.
Violet: PokemonTrainerAzure201 does not own us or pokemon itself. All rights goes to respected owners. He only owns this story and these versions of myself and Azure.
Me: Thank You Violet! Enjoy everyone!
Chapter 3: First captures are the most memorable!
Azure's POV:
Well we have just started to make our way through route 1. The high trees towering over, bits of sunlight shining through the gaps in the branches and leafs onto the path. Tall grass covering most of the route, filled with pokemon. The main species were the common flying and normal types from all regions like Pidgey from Kanto and Zigzagoon from Hoenn. I almost forgot that the Kanto region has pokemon from other regions appearing nowadays so seeing these pokemon isn't all that surprising.
"So anyone want to battle and catch some pokemon!?" Red asked filled with as much excitement as kid in a candy store.
"It wouldn't hurt to have a flying type early on. They could be really helpful in case we get lost." Violet stated.
Just as Violet said that a Fletchling and a Starly flew down and landed on different branches. Red already had his sights on the Starly and surprising enough Blue went after the Fletchling. Violet and I exchanged looks knowing Blue most likely wanted to show up Red, well that would be the case until…
"That little guy is so cute! I want it!" Blue squealed.
"Well that's new didn't think Blue started to like flying types." I said with a bit of disbelief. Well I guess she did like playing with those Swannas at the professor's lab the other day.
"Go Charmander!" Red yelled as he chucked his pokeball. The small lizard emerged from inside raring to go.
"Squirtle you come out too!" Blue said mimicking Red's movements. Out came a small blue turtle from the ball. "Squirtle use tackle!" Blue commanded. The small turtle charged forth at the small bird pokemon and landed a direct, but the little guy wasn't done yet. It the charged at Squirtle with its own tackle and landed a critical hit of all things, and Squirtle was struggling to get to its feet.
'That little guy has some serious power if made Squirtle struggle that much.' I thought.
But Blue wasn't giving up yet and neither was Squirtle. "Use tackle once more." Blue commanded, but instead Squirtle had formed an "o" with his mouth and started sending bubbles at Fletching. "Alright Squirtle you learned bubble." Blue was jumping with joy. The tiny bird seemed to have had its speed cut from the direct hit. "Ok Squirtle use tackle once more!" Blue stated and like that Squirtle attack again making Fletchling weak enough for capture. "Go Pokeball!" Blue yelled and threw the small red and white sphere. Fletching was absorbed in a red light and was engulf into the ball and with 3 wiggles it was done. "Alright I caught a Fletching!" Blue picked up the ball and Squirtle and hugged both tightly.
Red walked over with Charmander and his newly caught Starly on his shoulder. "Way to go Blue that was a great catch." Red congratulated her.
"Thanks it seems you had one as well." Blue said staring at the small bird on Red's shoulder.
"Way to go you two." I congratulated them both. Violet and Blue exchange high fives and I gave Red a thumbs up. With that we continued training our pokemon and Violet's bulbasaur learned leech seed while Neo learned growl and even Charmander learned ember. Then a Sentret appeared from a small patch of grass.
"Ok I think it's my turn for a capture." Violet said getting bulbasaur ready. "Bulbasaur use leech seed on Sentret!" Violet ordered the small green dinosaur. Bulbasaur shot a small seed at the Sentret and the small pokemon was wrapped in a web of vines and had its energy slowly drained. "Now Bulbasaur tackle." Bulbasaur charged at Sentret and knocked into a tree causing it to stumble. "Go Pokeball!" Violet chucked the ball at the stumbling Sentret. With that Violet caught her first pokemon.
"Good going Violet." I congratulated her.
"Yeah, but it seemed too easy." Violet responded with a bit a disappointment in her voice.
"Well we have been training for a while, maybe bulbasaur has gotten a lot more powerful than the pokemon around here." Red explained.
"That seems to be the case for all of us." Blue agreed.
Violet gave a small smile. "Yeah you guys might be right it wouldn't seem too unlikely given we've been training." Just then clouds started to gather overhead. "We better get out of here it looks like it'll rain soon." Violet pointed.
We started to run towards the exit to Viridian City, when something caught my eye. There was a small light coming from further in the forest. But then it disappeared. Huh? I could've sworn I saw something glowing over there. I thought. The others then called out to me to hurry up. Maybe I imagined it. We reached the Pokemon Center and had Nurse Joy heal our pokemon. It was a downpour outside it's a good thing we made it. We took a seat at a table after our pokemon were recovering.
"That was a close one." Red said relieved.
"Yeah my hair would have been a mess if we didn't make it in time." Blue agreed.
Behind us a few tables down there was a loud bunch laughing up a storm and being quite irritating.
"So I told her I see her later, she was so happy u could tell she wanted me." One of the guys said. The others busted out laughing.
"Man what a bunch of loud mouths." Violet said clearly annoyed.
"Yeah no kidding." Blue agreed. Red also nodded in agreement.
"Just ignore them." I said.
"Yo Greg whatever happen to that Cyndaquil of yours?" His buddy asked.
The person named Greg just laugh and said, "What that piece of shit? I let that sorry excuse of a pokemon go and told it I be back to pick it up later. Then I told it that I had a surprise for him, and then I had my Houndour rough it up. It's probably still struggling to even stand." They all just laughed even more.
When we heard that we all looked shocked. How could someone be that cruel to their pokemon? The girls look disgusted and Red was just speechless. As for me I got up and walk over to the group of jerks.
"What do you want kid?" Greg asked me. I grabbed him by the collar and pulled him up. "Would the hell is your problem brat?"
"My problem is you abandon your pokemon and bullied it because it was "weak" you jerk!" I yelled grabbing everyone's attention. Red and the girls ran up to me.
"Yo Azure chill man, let it go." Red try to calm me down.
"Yeah it's not worth. Please calm down." Violet said fearing this may escalate.
"You better listen to bud and girlfriend there pal, because from the looks of things you're nowhere near my level as a trainer." Greg said voice filled with confidence.
"YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO CALL YOURSELF A TRAINER YOU PIECE OF CRAP!" I yelled filled with rage.
Then Nurse Joy ran up to us. "There will be absolutely no fighting in the Pokemon Center is that understood." She stated firmly.
"Yes Mam." I released my grip. "Sorry for the disturbance." I apologized.
"Good, your pokemon are also fully healed." She told us.
"Thank you. Come on Azure." Violet told me in a calm voice.
"Alright." I replied my cap covering my eyes. Neo jumped off the tray and leaped onto my shoulder. "Hey bud feeling recharged?" I asked my furry companion. Neo just simply nuzzled my cheek as way of saying "yes". Then I remembered the small glow from before in the forest of route 1. Wait could that have been? I thought and made a dash out the door into the downpour. I could hear the others calling out to me, but I just ran straight to route 1.
Few minutes later…
"Ok now where was that glow coming from before?" I asked my partner. Neo couldn't see anything either and the rain was affecting his sense of smell. He looked at me with apologetic eyes. I crouched down next to him and patted his head. "It's ok pal. We just have to search harder." I assured him.
We ran in the rain more searching every area of the forest. We couldn't find anything. The all of a sudden I spotted a faint glow from behind a bush. Is that? I ran straight toward the light, and sure enough there it was. A beaten up small blue and peach mouse like pokemon. It flames were barely lit and the little guy was struggling to even stand to get to shelter. I approached it and when it saw me it gave me a glare.
"I'm not here to hurt, I just wanna help." I tried to reassure it. But it wouldn't believe me and launched a flamethrower at me and Neo. I just stood my ground as the fire passed the side of my face. I could feel the intense anger and fear in this pokemon from that attack. It still glare at me and I just stared back slowing moving forward trying to convey my feelings toward it. All of a sudden my pendant glowed bright, then Cyndaquil looked less angry and seemed to have calm down. Before I could question what just happened Cyndaquil collapsed.
"Oh crap!" I said as I ran to pick up Cyndaquil. "We gotta get it to the pokemon center fast." We ran back to Viridian City.
Violet's POV:
It's been over an hour since Azure ran out into the rain. Red was pacing back and forth, and Blue and I looked out the window waiting.
"Ok I can't take it anymore! I'm going after him!" Red cried. Blue and I nodded in agreement. We got our things, but before we could run out the door Azure came flying through the front door with something in his arms.
"Nurse Joy I need your help!" Azure yelled. He was completely soaked and completely out of breath. Water still dripping from his clothes and hair. Neo jumped down from his should and shook off the water from his fur. Azure was holding something in his arms, it was a badly injured pokemon.
"What's the matter!?" Nurse joy came rushing. Nurse joy saw the pokemon and immediately rushed it to the emergency room. We ran up to Azure confused on what's going on.
"What happen?" Red was the first to speak his voice filled with concern.
"Let's sit down first, and Violet can you go get Azure a towel?" Blue asked me. I went to grab a towel from our room. You haven't changed at all. I smiled while thinking that. I found a fresh towel, headed back and sat down with the others.
"Here ya go." I said handing him the towel.
"Thanks Vi." He thanked and took the towel and wrapped around his soaked body; Neo nuzzled up on his shoulder. "Ok now about why I bolted earlier and came back soaked…" Azure started.
A few moments later…
"So that's about it." Azure finished. Just then Nurse Joy came up and gave us some great news.
"You don't need to worry Cyndaquil will make a full it just needs to rest for the night." She assured us.
"Thank goodness." Azure let out a sigh of relief. She then walked off.
"Man you're as reckless as ever." Red said giving Azure a playful headlock. Blue and me just giggled at the 2 friends. Well they're more like brothers. "Well today was quite eventful. Let's get to bed." Red said getting up.
"Good idea." I replied. We all turned in for the night.
Azure's POV:
I woke up in the middle of the night. I couldn't sleep, I was still worried about Cyndaquil. I tiptoed out the room, and made my way towards the emergency room. There I saw Cyndaquil resting, I walked in and sat next to the small fire pokemon.
"I'm glad you're ok little guy." I smiled at the sleeping fire type. "Your one hell of a pokemon. I don't what anyone says you're definitely not weak I could feel the immense power behind that flamethrower earlier." I continued to just smile and lightly petted the pokemon back. My eyes started to get restless. "Goodnight Cyndaquil." Was the last thing I said.
Next morning
I woke up to something poking my cheek. It was Cyndaquil. It gave me a smile.
"Hey little guy, you feeling better?" I asked.
"Cyn Cynda!" It cried lighting its back ablaze.
"That's good. Well good-bye little guy. Hope we meet again." I said that as I left the room. I walk to the front desk and saw the gang all set and ready to go. "Hey guys just saying good-bye to Cyndaquil."
"Ok then we should get going then." Blue said. We all nodded in agreement. With that we said our thanks to Nurse Joy and left. As we were walking outside a flamethrower shot past my face. The others jumped, while I just smiled.
"I take it you wanna come along?" I said still smiling as I turn my head slightly. I grab a pokeball from my belt and held it out. Cyndaquil ran straight towards me a hit the ball dead center and went in. "Looks like we got a new friend, eh Neo?" I ask my partner and he simply nodded. "Come on out!" I cried throwing the ball. Cyndaquil popped out a stare at me. "Welcome to the family Mugen." I said to my newly named friend. He gave me a confused look. "It means infinity. With you around I'm sure our levels of strength will be endless. You like it?" I asked. Mugen simply nodded and jump on my shoulder. "Now we're ready." We all laughed and headed off to viridian forest. I don't know what lies ahead, but I know this is one event that I will never forget.
Me: AND DONE!
Red: Holy crap over 2,000 words that's a new record for ya.
Me: Thank You.
Blue: Um where's Azure?
Me: I'm right here. Yeah we're just gonna do it this way since this version Azure is really just me.
Violet: Isn't that a little late?
Me: Possibly, but it's easier and not completely unreasonable since we're the same guy.
Violet: True I guess.
Me: Anyway thanks for reading. Hope you enjoyed this took longer than I hoped, but it's here. So review, follow, criticize just be polite about it.
All: Have a great day!
