Here is chapter four, and if you can I always welcome criticism and comments, so you don't by any means have ot, but it would be very much appriacated !
Ginan grinned in victory over Zak. "If you can't even beat a trainer in her first battle with a years
worth of experince, I suggest you leave." she said coldly.
"Fine.", Zach grunted. "But be warned, Team Rocket will be victorous in the end!" With that statement, he turned on the spot and ran Northward, dissapearing.
Ginan smirked, "If all Team Rocket members are as pathetic as him, then I'm not wooried about the beating us!" Although she did have a feeling there were Team Rocket members who could do a lot more damage to them than Zach.
"Yeah.", Angelica sighed, "Just forget about him though, he's an absoloute pushover."
Ginan and Angelica went back to the pokemon center, called it a day, and went to bed. The next morning, having no further reason to stay in Cherrygrove, decided to head to Violet city, the location of the first gym for Ginan, and the first contest for Angelica.
Time skip during which nothing worth noting happens, I mean come on, that route is incredibly boring !
"Wow, this area is more interesting than Cherrygrove!", Ginan exclaimed. The two girls were at the edge of Violet city. The city had an old, yet classical look to it. Many historic buildings stood alongside modern ones, even the pokemon center and pokemart. A slight russle in a patch of tall grass caught Ginan's eye. She bent down closer, seeing a sheep pokemon with white wool and blue skin standing in the grass. At once, Ginan knew this was the perfect first capture for her. Quietly releasing Aipom, she consulted her Pokedex to find the identity of the pokemon. "Mareep is it's name, and its electric type, which is perfect for the first gym!", she whispered exitedly.
Angelica smiled encouragingly. "I say go for it. I heard Mareeps make exellent first captures and great pokemon to own." Her baby Eevee, which Ginan remembered Angelica had received from her mother before heading to Johto, smiled in agreement as it nestled in his master's arms.
"Alright Aipom, when i say go, you're gonna go in and pull out the quickest fury swipe attack you can on the Mareep, do you understand?" Aipom nodded at Ginan's instructions. "Alright then, now...go!" Aipom's fury swipe was so ferocious it shred apart most of the grass Mareep was hiding in. The Mareep bleated in fright, and sent a thundershock attack straight at Aipom. Luckily, the small monkey managed to use its agile skills to jump out of the way. "Wait, Mareep's ability is static, so i should try to avoid direct contact...Aipom, use swift!"
Aipom shot a barrage of yellow stars at Mareep. The sheep used thundershock to block some stars, but most of them hit the electric type. It winced, and unleashed a bunch of cotton balls from it's puffy fur.
"Watch out!" Angelica called. "If that cotton spore attack hits Aipom, he will be slowed down big time!"
Ginan nodded, and Aipom used swift to cancel out the spores. Seeing an opening, Ginan chucked a pokeball at the distracted Mareep. After a few moments of shaking, the pokeball clicked and stood still. "Yes!" Ginan cried, jumping up and down in glee. "My first capture!" She went over the the pokeball and picked the sphere up. She showed it to Aipom. "Without you, capturing this Mareep would't have been possible, you did a great job!" she cooed to Aipom, scratching his ears. The monkey chattered happily, pleased with himself.
"Good work, both of you!" Angelica said, walking over to Ginan and Aipom. "I suppose that new Mareep will help you in the first gym, huh?"
Ginan nodded. "Yep, and speaking of which, apparently we need to go to the Sprout tower before I can challenge the gym." Ginan responded, remebering what she had read in the trainers handbook she got from the pokemon center in Cherrygrove city. The two trainers then headed to the pokemon center, reserved a room, healed their pokemon, and began heading for the Sprout tower, ready for a new challenge to come.
