"Uh-Uh..I'm sorry." All was released from my mouth along with me breath. I don't exactly know why, but I was amused. His face purveyed everything of hardworking, and his red eyes had mystery and ambition in him. Was he a vampire? No, I'm just being silly...but he looked ultimate. Like a boss? That's probably it. I scanned him up and down, thinking if he were real or not. He stared at me. He chuckled softly.
"Well, I guess I can accept the apology from a cutie." He smirks.
"Excuse me?" I narrow my eyebrows suspiciously.
"Kid, I gave you a comment...take it or leave it." He said. I roll my eyes. I already don't like this guy.
"Here, let me help you up." He reached to help me. I smacked his arm.
"I'm fine by myself." I snapped.
"Woah there, I was just trying to help." He sighs.
"I don't need help." I quickly walked away. He grunted and caught up to me.
"Did you wake up on the wrong side of the bed?" He ran along with me.
"No, can you go away?" I was creeped out by him already. Why does he think it's okay to just follow me?
"Well, I know you've been in Viridian for a while...sad how you still didn't get your first gym badge, you didn't even get to Pewter City." He teased me.
"Pewter City...?" I stopped running and wanted more information. But he was gone.
Well, that was probably the weirdest and unexpected five minutes of my life. Who does he think he is anyways? This Pewter City though, I think this is the first stop...I gotta get out of here and get this gym battle over with. It's more needed to get my first gym badge anyways. I rolled my eyes, and kept moving to look for more Pokemon.
As the day past I already had caught 2 other Pokemon. New Pokedex data so that's looking good. I caught a pidgey and finally that rattata! I think that's enough to for today in terms of catching Pokemon. I want to improve my team, so I battled most of the trainers here and there.
"Rattata! Use tail whip!"
"Caterpie string shot"
My days work was announcing throughout my mind. I'm making progress. So now, it's time to finish my training here in Viridian City...I wanted to know more about the gym leaders. The only person on the path however was a young boy. I'm not sure if he was knowledgable enough but it wouldn't hurt to ask..
"Hey, you!" I called him.
"What? I'm only 7..I-I- I don't have a pokemon battle.." He stammered. "Don't worry, I don't want to battle." I ruffled his hair. I mean, I didn't want to scare the kid or anything. "Yes?" He asked me. "Who are the gym leaders here?" I asked politely.
"I don't know much about them...I only know two of them, the first two since I've met them before." He sighed.
"It's okay, at least tell me about them." I replied.
"First there's Brock. Pewter City gym leader. Great guy, he is a full on rock type and he gives you the boulder badge. Then there's Misty. Misty LOVES water types. She's the Cerulean city gym leader and she gives you the cascade badge." The boy answered completely.
"Thank you so much!" I ran away to go on to the next stop. Hmmm Misty and Brock, water and rock. Sort of like Clay and Cress...except, Clay was ground type. So, I have my Squirtle...that will immediately take Brock down. I think I'll be able to do this. I gotta be quick though. I really want my first gym badge...the what was it again? Right, Boulder badge. It will be mine.
Another two days past and I caught up to 20 other Pokemon.
I've been catching them really fast, so that's the positive outlook. I just need to complete it all. I then stumbled upon a rock and fell. Ow! I then rubbed my head looking up to the view. It was a beautiful city. I saw a sign and touched it and trailed my finger to find writing. It read: Welcome to Pewter City!
Awesome! I made it there, I ran down the hill to get to the bottom. I can't wait to find the gym but I got to know where it is first. As I walked around, I felt like it be a perfect time to heal my team. Squirtle, Kakuna, Rattata, Pidgey, Poliwag, and Caterpie. The Poliwag I managed to catch with Squirtle, underwater. I need a fishing rod though, because I was only able to catch a magickarp.
I ran to the Pokemon center to get on with it and immediately heal my Pokèmon. "Hello? Nurse Joy?" I walked in slowly. "Hi there!" Nurse greeted me. "Hey!" I walked over to her handing my Pokemon. She took my Pokèballs out of my hand. As she went to fix them up, I sat down thinking about Mom and Hilbert, who I miss so much. I think they are probably proud of me. I had left them a message telling me my journey so far, and that I miss them. I wish I had Hilbert come with me, his rotten teases would at least accompany me and then I would insult him back hiding all these feelings we have. Middle school love, right?
"You're Pokemon are fighting fit! We hope to see you again!" Nurse Joy handed my Pokemon. I got excited and I went to the Mart to buy more Pokeballs. Just so I can catch the ones in this here city. I know I seem excited to fill up a Pokedex who has been filled up by someone before, but remember...challenge is also the key. Professor Oak is a great man, he knows so much about Pokemon but I remember in the car he told me he didn't fill the Pokedex. I wonder who did. That person is a true trainer, knows so much about Pokemon. The person is a master, I'm pretty sure since he/she was the first ever person to complete the first Pokedex project, he'd be famous. As I was in Unova, owning the place beating gym leaders, catching Pokemon, in the league it never took thought of me at all. Who did it. Who started it. Who is it.
Then, I found myself out of the Pokemon Center eagerly heading towards the gym. I was already exited, I couldn't feel myself. Behold, first Kanto gym badge (If I win) I can't believe it, different region and that's an accomplishment in my opinion.
I closed my eyes full on confidence and entered the place.
