Chapter 4: Get in Pokegear and let's go!

Gold, Daryl, and Musha decided that the three of them would travel together for a while. "So exactly what should we do now? I'm really bored." said Gold. "Also, we need to find a place where our pokemon can be healed." Musha's ears perked up. "Let's find the Pokemon Center!" Gold and Daryl looked very puzzled. "What's a Pokemon Center?" both of the trainers asked. Musha gasped as if he had seen a ghost. "You both are trainers and have never been to a pokemon center?! Well it's this hospital that treats sick, injured, or simply let's tried pokemon rest up till their strength is back. Best part is that it's for free! Not to mention that it runs a hotel for trainers. There is one in just about every town and city. In fact there is only one town I can think of in Ryusho that doesn't have one and that would be Tiny Seed Town."
Gold had rolled his eyes. "Forgive me, I'm from Tiny Seed. So I wouldn't know. I just became a trainer like two days ago so----" Mush looked at Gold in disbelief. "Seriously?! You must have only your starter then!" Gold's eyes twitch a bit then raised three fingers starting with his middle one. "I have three. A Treecko, a Starly, and a Psyduck. I caught starly and psyduck on route 203 and Treecko was my starter. I am not that much of a novice that I wouldn't have even made one capture yet." Musha fell to the ground and started laughing hysterically. "Wow those are some really common garden variety pokemon. Check mine out! Come on out guys!" Musha threw three normal pokeball into the air and three pokemon appeared. One was a red bipedal monkey with a flame on its behind. Another was a small bipedal black and blue dog with what looked to be a cat ears on top of it's head but regular floppy ears where they should be, and red eyes. On it's arms were small gray part. Finally the third was a small turtle with a green lead on its head, and a brown and black shell. "Meet Chimchar, Riolu, and Turtwig! These three are rare pokemon usually found in the Sinnoh region."
Gold rolled his eyes. "So what? Your dad bought you some imports. You didn't actually catch any of them did you?" Musha's face turned bright red. "Chimchar was my starter! I caught the other two on my way here!" Gold grinned. "Looks like I hit a nerve." thought Gold to himself. "I guess he paid a pretty penny to get you that Chimchar. It doesn't even look like you raised it at all. I bet this is the first time you actually let it out of the ball. And yes, I am insinuating that you bought all of those rare pokemon." Gold watched as Musha fumed. "This is all too easy." Gold thought to himself. Musha pointed to Chimchar. "Alright let's battle 1 on 1. I choose Chimchar!" Chimchar readied itself for battle. Gold took out his Ryushodex.

It agilely scales sheer cliffs to live atop craggy mountains. Its fire is put out when it sleeps

"So it's a fire version of Aipom huh? Well I think I'll go with Haru!" Gold threw a pokeball into the air and a light of energy appeared out of it and yellow duck pokemon appeared. "Haru, use your water gun!" Haru nodded and blasted a huge stream of water out of its mouth. Chimchar was soaked and glared at Musha for choosing him. "Alright, Gokujou! Use your Brick Break!" Gokujou, the Chimchar, raised his arm. It started to glow a reddish color and then he hit Haru full force on the head. Haru's head began to swell. Gokujou started to float in midair by some strange force. "What's going on?! What's happening to Gokujou!" Gold began to smile.
"You really are a novice yourself. You'd know that Psyduck has psychic powers due to it's permanent headache. Not to mention that Haru's a water type to so choosing Gokujou was probably the worst decision you could have chosen."
Haru lifted Gokujou up into the air, with his mind, and flung him full force into a tree. Gokujou was completely unconscious. "Game set match." said Gold pointing to Musha. "Looks like this battle is mine." Musha fell to the ground and started to cry. "I thought that you were weak...I guess I was wrong again..." Daryl walked over to Musha and helped him up. "You under estimated Gold. He is the son of a pokemon professor and he is very smart. Musha all you did was underestimate Gold's pokemon because you think they are very common and that's what led to your downfall. You have to learn to never underestimate your opponent. We are going to Carnation City together and each of us are going to challenge the gym leader there." Musha got up and sighed. "I challenged him and won. I got the badge and thought maybe there were some gyms around this part. I guess isn't a gym here in Rose City after all. Gold, is there one in Tiny Seed?" Gold shook his head. "It's a nice town admittedly, but no gyms I'm afraid. Let's just all go to the pokemon center."
The three trainers walked until they found a large building with a red roof. Gold, Daryl, and Musha took their pokemon to a tall woman with pink hair who wore a nurses outfit. "Hello, my name is Nurse Joy. How can I help you today?"
"Hello Nurse Joy, can you heal our pokemon?" said Daryl taking out his pokeballs and handing them to Nurse Joy.
Musha and Gold took out their pokeballs and gave them to nurse Joy as well. She handed us each three keys in exchange. "They are for one of our rooms it's stalked with a mini bar and beds." The three trainers walked down the hallway with their room keys. "Uh, maybe one person should take care of all the keys." said Musha looking at the keys. "How long are we staying here in Rose City? I mean I figured we'd just go get dinner, pick up our pokemon, and then head over to the Pokegear Company." Daryl and Gold shrugged their shoulders. "What's at the Pokegear Company anyway? You said that's why you came to Rose." said Daryl sitting on a comfortable bed with blue Squirtle themed sheets.
"Oh well you see, there are some new applications I want for my pokegear." said Musha sitting on the Chimchar themed bed.
Gold chose the third which was a Treecko themed bed. "What's the application for? I may want one for my own pokedex."
"There are two. One is called the Gym reader. When you get to a city with a gym it reacts, and tells you the name of the gym leader as well as their type that they use." said Musha taking out his red pokegear, "The second application is for texting and going on line. You can go on the internet anywhere because the Wi-fi you get is from the entire region. As long as you have reception from the pokegear phone, you'll have reception for the internet."
Daryl got really excited. "How can I get one? How much are they?! Musha, I just have to get one!" Daryl got very close to Musha, who was clearly very uncomfortable in the situation. "Well as a promotion they are giving away free ones until tomorrow night. Let's go pick some up and then head out in the morning." Daryl nodded and grabbed Musha and ran as fast as he could to towards the building. Gold rolled his eyes and thought. "What am I doing here? They aren't part of my goal...I don't need them. Why is it that I decided to make friends with Musha and Daryl. I mean I was so quick to warm up to these people that I am even going to be traveling with them...why is that?" Gold walked down the hallway a bit further behind his "friends." He began to reconsider his friendship with the two other trainers. "Really, all I need is my pokemon and I'll be just fine."
Daryl has noticed Gold was far behind.
"What's wrong with you man? Come on!" Daryl said calling to Gold still holding Musha's arm.
"What's your problem? We are suppose to be having fun." Musha said smiling to Gold.
Gold rolled his eyes in response not saying anything. "Fine whatever." Gold walked fasted up the two trainers and saw that there was no way he could get away from them.
The Pokegear company was a huge tower with radio receivers everywhere on it. The building itself was a giant skyscraper with about two-hundred floors to it. The three boys walked in and saw that there was a line to pick up the applications. "This is going to take forever isn't it..." said Daryl to his friends. Gold turned his head to see a very pretty woman, who appeared to be in her thirties, wearing a bonnet and a red sundress had walked in. She was sighing as she was being followed by a very tall light brown skinned man. He had very muscular arms and on his left one, he had a strange black cross tattooed on it. He was wearing a shirt that was black and red in the fashion of a cherish pokeball. . He had black hair. His eyes were dark red, he had a goatee, and he was scowling. Behind him was a red eyes lion pokemon that was mostly black. It had black front legs with blue legs and sharp fangs. It's tail had a yellow star almost like a shuriken at the end.
"Hey I wonder what that pokemon is." asked Gold. Musha looked at Gold. "That pokemon's called Luxray. It is the final evolution of Shinx. It's suppose to be really strong. Also by the look of that one, it's been very well trained." Gold took out his Ryushodex and had scanned the pokemon.

It has eyes which can see through anything. It spots and captures prey hiding behind objects.

"Jeff, please your organization couldn't have asked you to follow me everywhere. I mean I truly do trust Riccardo and Max's opinions, but you and Luxray must be very tired."
The man rolled his eyes in almost the same fashion as Gold, "Ma'am, please just let me do my job. I am here to make sure that you are safe from the those bad people."
"Hey the woman said that she doesn't want your help, so get to steppin you muscle headed doofus!" said Gold. He took his arm and slammed it into Gold's head. "Respect your elders kid." Gold got up, but had a bloody nose. He made a fist at Jeff, but Jeff merely held the boys hand grasping it, without any difficulty. "Your outmatched kid, so why not give up!" He threw Gold aside who was in an immense amount of pain. The woman pulled on Jeff's ear. "Listen here, I won't have you throwing around customers. My company welcomes the youth!"
Musha walked over to the Gold and helped him up. He then turned to the woman, "Are you Ms. Annette Fennete, the president of the Ryusho Pokegear company?" The woman smiled at Musha. "Yes, I am. Who might you be?" President Fennete asked Musha.
"I'm Musha Gerard, this is my friend Gold Elm, and that's Daryl..." Daryl chimed in. "Daryl Azumamiyah." Musha smiled. "Daryl Azumamiyah. The three of us are traveling together and we came here to get the two new applications for our pokegears." President Fennete looked at the boys and smiled. "Alright kids, here are the applications." She handed Musha three blue cards that said Online +Gym locator. "Scan these with your Pokegear signals and they will be updated." Musha smiled. "Thanks a lot man and--"
Suddenly fifty men crashed through the windows of the buildings. "Don't anybody move! We are the D.o.C! We are here for your data on the gym locator!" The men were wearing strange purple jumpsuits and ski hats. They had the initials D.o.C. On their jump suit fronts and backs. "You heard us hand over your pokemon!" Jeff rolled his eyes and gritted his teeth. "You just said you wanted the application. Now you want our pokemon! Make up your damn minds you trashy team rocket wannabees!" The men from the D.o.C all got enraged. "That's it, go Poochyena!" All fifty men took out purple pokeballs with several strange archaic markings on them. Out of the pokeballs appeared small, black, canine pokemon. They each had one fang on each side of their mouths as well as yellow eyes with dark red pupils. Their fur was a bit scruffy and they had small tails.
"Wow Poochyena!" said Daryl sarcastically. "What, you robbed a pound or something? No wonder you want to steal our pokemon, they are so very common." Gold however was a bit puzzled.
"What, are they suppose to be common or something? Bare in mind I moved here from Johto, so most things from Houen or Sinnoh are bit unfamiliar." Daryl nodded. "Check your Ryushodex, it has all the information on it. It's such a common pokemon that they are in just about every region. They are kind of like the dog version of rattatta." Gold nodded and scanned the scruffy dog pokemon.

It savagely threatens foes with bared fangs. It chases after fleeing targets tenaciously. It turns tail and runs, however, if the foe strikes back.

"Wow that is a very common pokemon." Gold came to realization however that they had not pokemon since they were all left in the center. "Guys what are we going to do?" Suddenly Jeff took out a black and red ball. It was in the same color scheme as his outfit. "From this Cherish ball! I summon thee! Hariyama!" Jeff threw the ball at full strength almost like a pitcher pitching a baseball at ninety miles per hour. The ball hit one of the Poochyena in the fact knocking it out then flew into the air releasing energy. Form the energy appeared a very rotund human-like pokemon. It had two giant hands and with three fingers on each. It had a brown color with an orange "outfit" on the back of his head was a black line that looked like hair that continued to it's eyebrows. It had two normal eyes but was the only thing normal about it.
"What with the weird pokemon?" asked Musha to President Fennete. The president grinned. "Just watch Musha, Jeff will show you just how powerful he is." Jeff merely snapped his fingers. Hariyama jumped up and down causing a major earthquake causing all the Poochyena in the room to ram into each other. "Now, Focus Punch!" Hariyama's giant left hand glowed a bright white and it punched into one of the Poochyena sending it flying into the others and then knocked into their trainers and out the window. "And like that the fools are gone." Jeff turned to the president, "Alright now that's over with, my job is completed. President Fennete there is a 100% chance of your safety, but just incase I'll assign some regular agents from my organization to guard you." Jeff turned away and left through the door. Gold, who was still in a bit of pain, tried to follow him, but he was gone without a trace. "Just who was he...?"
The next day a heavily bandaged Gold and his friends had left town with their pokemon. "What was with that Nurse Joy saying Please come again? Does she want us to make sure our pokemon get hurt again? What a total bitch." said Gold angrily. Musha nervously replied, "I think she just thinks it was a pleasure serving us. Though, you maybe right. If pokemon stopped getting hurt, then she would be out of a job." Daryl rolled his eyes in the same fashion as Gold. "I think you two are reading to much into this. In any case where is the next stop on the map?" Gold looked at his Pokegear. "Well it seems to be some place called circle forest. It is inhabited with ground types and grass types that are feuding so it says that we should proceed with a lot of caution." Gold thought for a moment. "Ground types are also suppose to be strong against fire types. I think we should make a quick stop!"
Gold started running and his friends soon followed, however what they didn't know is that they were being closely followed from behind by someone. "Hmm, I suppose I left a bit to quickly." said a clearly male voice with a Luxray next to him...
