It's been a week since I beat Mike and got the Boulder Badge, but nothing important has happened. It's just been me walking to Cerulean City, and it was a bit of a walk. And to top it all off, I haven't been able to catch any pokemon, they all run, so I still have Squirtle, Staryu, and Bud. So I was walking down a gassy path, but then I heard some rustling in a nearby bush. I got Squirtle's pokeball from my back pocket. I then let him out. But when he came out I grabbed him and held him close. He looked confused. I put my finger over my mouth and pointed at the bush. Then it moved again. Squirtle nodded. "Tackle." I said quietly. Squirtle then jumped into the bush. I heard a struggle. I then grabbed an empty pokeball out of my bag. Then I threw it. There was a silence. Then Squirtle came out of the bushes with a pokeball in his hand. "Good job Squirtle!" I told him petting the top of his head. He then handed me the pokeball. "Squirtle!" Squirtle said exited. "Let's see who he is." I said. I then opened the pokeball. It wasn't very tall, about as tall as Squirtle. It was yellow and had a tan colored beak, and looked slightly confused. "PSY!" It said confused while holding his head. I then pulled out the pokedex and scanned it. The robotic voice then started talking. "Psyduck, the psychic type pokemon, Psyduck is a powerful pokemon but gets confused very often and can mess up."The voice finished. "PSY!" It said again, emphasizing what it just heard. "Oh great, it gets confused easily." I said. "Squirtle?" Squirtle said. "Both of you, come back." I said as I put them both back in there pokeballs. I then thought a little bit. I only have four pokemon, and I'm supposed to be meeting with Armin and Mikasa in a week. I thought to myself. I then looked around and saw a hill, I figured I could just walk up there and rest, it's been a long day. So I climb up the hill and once I got to the top of it, I realized I could see Cerulean City. It was a pretty place, looked nice enough. I pulled out the pokedex and realized that it was 6:00, I should get a place to stay. So I started walking down there.
I entered through the front gates as I looked at the beautiful city, it looked awesome. There were a lot of houses and the pokemon center was near the entrance of town. But in the middle was the prized jewel of the city, the Cerulean gym, it looked like a giant aquarium. "First thing tomorrow." I told myself. So went towards the pokemon center. I stepped in and it looked just like the one in Pewter City, even the nurse. "Nurse Joy?" I asked walking up to her. "Oh hello, do I know you from somewhere?" She asked with a smile. "Yeah, from Pewter City." I told her. "Oh, you must mean my cousin, I have many twin cousins and sisters, we're all nurses and we're all called Nurse Joy, most people know, but anyways, what do you need?" She asked me. Dear lord...I had so many questions, but it was just one more thing to keep me up at night, so I ignored it. "Yeah, could you heal these guys and could I get a room." I told her. She smiled. "Why of course!" he said happily. I handed her my four pokeballs. Then I went to a couch and just collapsed, I was beat. But I heard something that caught my attention. "Please take her, limited time offer." I heard someone outside. I then stood up. "Umm, I'll be right back, okay?" I asked Nurse Joy. She nodded happily. I stepped outside and saw an old man in front of a store. He looked really old, had a long beard and long hair, both were white. And there was an old woman in a rocking chair behind him. But he he saw me and looked excited. "Excuse me young sir, would you be interested in owning an Eevee?" He asked me. I knew exactly what it was, when I was little a stray Eevee wandered into our yard, so I know a bit about them. "Sure, how much?"I asked him. "Completely free, she just needs a home." He told me. "Awesome, where is she?" I asked him. He then motioned me to follow him. He then stepped into the store and I followed. It looked like an old roadside store, but it smelled like apple pie, had some good vibes to it. "So was she the only one, or were there more?" I asked him. He chuckled a bit. "She had a brother and a sister, but two kids came by a few days ago, this one is, well, she's not to fond of new people, but I have a feeling she'll like you." He told me. I didn't know what that was supposed to mean, but I'll just go with it. He then led me to a small room in the back, and in the middle of the room was a small Eevee, or smaller than most. "Let her sniff you, then try to pet her." He told me, then I stepped into the room, and when I did that the Eevee looked scared, it slowly backed up. "Hey,it's okay, I'm your friend." I said holding out my hand. Eevee stopped backing up, and walked towards my hand. She sniffed my hand, and just stood there for a moment. "Weev." She said suddenly. It then scratched me, but it cut deep. I immediately backed up and grabbed my hand and covered it with my other hand. My eyes were wide open, I was trying to ignore the pain and trying not to freak out. I then slowly uncovered it to look at the cut. There were three bloody lines and blood was rushing out of my wrist, but it missed the vein thank god. I then saw the look on Eevee's face, unsatisfied, I knew what I needed to do. "Oh my god son, are you okay?!" I heard the old man say while stepping towards me. I then held up my hand to stop him, I wasn't done with Eevee. I put my hand towards Eevee again. "I don't care how much you cut me, I am a friend." I said sternly. Eevee looked surprised. She then licked my hand, and walked up to my side. I then picked her up. "Weev!" She said happily. "Awesome!" I said as I hugged her. "I'm going to call you Rainer, and we'll be the best team ever." I told Rainer. "Weev!" She said happily. "That's sweet, but you look like your losing a lot of blood, let my wife wrap that up for you, please for the love of god don't die!." The old man said worried. I looked down to see a pile of blood on the wooden floor, I then looked at my wrist and noticed that she did cut to a vein. "Yeah, I would like that." I told him.
After thirty minutes of the old women cleaning the cut, she wrapped it and handed me a pile of fresh bandages. "Make sure to change them every morning and night for the next few months, now you have a good day." She told. "Yes ma'am, and thank you." I told her as I walked out, Rainer was right by my side. When we stepped out, I grabbed an empty pokeball. "Get ready Rainer." i told her. She nodded. I then threw the pokeball at her and she was sucked inside. Then I caught her. I then stepped over to the pokemon center. I stepped and Nurse Joy looked relieved to see me. "Hey, I was starting to wonder where you went." She told me with a tray of three pokeballs. "Yeah sorry, the old couple across the street gave me a new pokemon and it scratched me." I said holding up my bandaged hand. "Oh my, well here are your pokemon and your room is just down the hall." She told me smiling. I grabbed my pokemon and went to my room. I did what I did last time, took everything off and took a shower. After that I filled up he tub with warm water, then I grabbed the pokeballs. "Okay Bud, time for sleep." I said as I put Bud in the tub. KARP!" He replied. I chuckled as I stepped into the main room. I then got out my four remaining pokemon. I first let out Squirtle. "Squirtle." He said happily. "Hey pal, it's just time for bed." I told him. He then walked over and sat on a pillow. Next was Staryu. I then opened his pokeball. "Hya!" He said loudly. "Hey Staryu, just time for bed, the couch I guess." I ask him. He just turned and walked over to the couch. I then picked up Psyduck's pokeball. I sighed loudly. I then opened it. "PSY PSY." It said confused. "Look dude, it's just bedtime, where do you want to sleep?" I asked him. He then put his hands on his head. He walked over to the couch, next to a confused Staryu, and then he just fell over, and stopped moving. I just stared at him. "Squirtle?" Squirtle said confused. "I don't even know Squirtle." I told him. But at least Staryu didn't seem to mind. And last but not least, we had Rainer. I opened her pokeball and she came out. "Weev!" She said happily. "Hey girl, you ready for bed?" I asked her. "Weev weev!" She said happily. Then she walked over and curled up against a pillow. Then I put all there pokeballs on my bedside table. I then looked around. Bud was in the bathtub, Staryu and Psyduck was one the couch, and Squirtle and Rainer were on the bed. 'What a crew." I said silently as I got under the covers. Then closed my eyes, and drifted to sleep.
"PSY PSY!" That was my alarm clock. I slowly opened my eyes. The ceiling was what I saw. But then I sat up. Rainer was curled up against my leg, but other that that everything was the same, except for Psyduck. He was next to me on the floor. "What do you want?" I asked him. "PSY." he replied. I picked up his pokeball from my bedside table and put him in it. "Alright everyone, time to get up." I said out loud. "Hya." Staryu said quietly. Squirtle." Squirtle said getting up. But Rainer was fast asleep.
I grabbed the pokeballs and put all of them inside them. Then I put on all of my clothes and headed out. When i stepped into the main lobby Nurse Joy smiled. "Bye bye now, have a great day and we hope to see you again!" She said happily. "Yes ma'am, you have a good one to." I told her as I stepped out. I then I looked at the gym, it was a magnificent sight, one I won't forget anytime soon, but now wasn't the time to marvel at the sight of it, I needed to beat the gym leader. So I walked over to the gym.
The entrance was two big glass doors, so I just pushed them open. The place was huge, right in front of me was an entrance to the stadium, and to the right and left were stairs that led to the seats, I guess to watch pokemon battles. But in front of the entrance to the stadium stood a girl. She was short, I'd say 5'2 and had light red hair, but her outfit was questionable. She had on a one piece bathing suit with a white long coat over it. "Umm, excuse me?" I asked out loud. She was facing the wall to my left, so she turned and looked at me. "Can I help you?" She asked me. "Yeah, I'm looking for the gym leader, where is he?" I asked her. She chuckled a bit. "Look kid, you mean where is she, and you're looking at her, so what do you want?" She asked me. I then got my game face on. "Well in that case, I CHALLENGE YOU TO A POKEMON BATTLE!" I said loudly. She then put her hands on her hips and looked at me. "You want to battle me?" she asked me. She was looking up and down at me. "Yes I do, and I won't take no for an answer!" I told her. "Fine, there's already some people here, and I need to beat someone because two kids came in ad beat me a few days ago." She said. Then she walked up the stairs to the stadium. "Follow me." She said. I listened and followed. But before we reached the stadium, she turned to me. "By the way, what's your name?" She asked me. "Eren Yeager." I said sternly. She nodded and walked up the stairs. But when we entered the stadium I was shocked. It was a giant sand stadium surrounded by water except for a small bridge that connected where I was standing to the stadium, but the stands were full of people. Then she grabbed a microphone off the ground and ran to the middle of the stadium. "Ladies and gentlemen!" She screamed. The crowd went nuts, and I was getting weak knees. I didn't think there would be this much people. But I put on my serious face, this wasn't the time to wimp out. 'Now today i have a challenger, and his name is Eren Yeager!" She said exaggerating the words. Then the crown booed me. But I walked forwards over the small bridge and I stood tall, I wasn't leaving. I raised my hand in the air, which just used me more hate. But then the bridge behind me retracted into the floor, leaving just a big moat. I gulped, no turning back now. "Now without no further due, let's begin, go Staryu!" She yelled as she threw a pokeball in the air. Then out popped a pokemon that looked just like my Staryu. "Hya!" it yelled. After he did that the crowd went nuts. "Okay then, squirtle, I choose you!" I yelled out loud and threw Squirtle's pokeball in the air. "Squirtle!" He said proudly. Petra smiled a bit. "Alright then, Staryu, use "STARYU, USE SWIFT!" She screamed suddenly. Staryu then jumped in the air and a ray of stars came out of the gem in his chest and went bolting towards Squirtle. It hit Squirtle many times, he looked cu and bruised, it really did a number on him. But the crowd went nuts, but that didn't bother me, then they started chanting two terrifying words. "BOO SQUIRTLE!" They all said. "Squirtle, get up and tackle, quickly!" I yelled at him. And just like that he jolted up and used his back legs to rush against Staryu. Staryu was knocked back and nearly hit Petra. "GYRO BALL!" Petra screamed at the top of her lungs. Then Staryu jumped in the air and started to spin at an incredible speed. "Ugh oh." I muttered to myself. Then it came crashing down on top of Squirtle. And when Staryu jumped off of Squirtle, Squirtle wasn't moving. "Squirtle, come back." is aid as I put him back in his pokeball. I then grabbed Rainer's popkeball off of my belt. Let's see what you can do. I thought to myself. "Go, Rainer!" I yelled as I threw her pokeball. Then she popped out. "Weev." She said in a fighting position. "How cute, the old couples Eevee, well, use water gun!" Petra screamed. Then Staryu tried to bash Rainer with a gush of water. But Rainer was quick. She swiftly moved out of the way. "Okay, use tail whip and finish it off with bite!" I yelled at Rainer. 'Weev!" She said strongly. She then ran full speed at Staryu and with a loud smack, she smacked it with her tail. "Ohh!" the crowd all went. "Water gun, quickly!" petra screamed nervously. Staryu tried to hit Rainer with a blast o water but Rainer ducked under it and went to his core and bit into it, then picked him up and threw him over towards Petra. "Yeah, lets go Rainer!" I yelled out loud. "Weev weev!" rainer replied happily. "Staryu, return!" She screamed. I then stepped forward, I was a little confident, I got this. "Bring it." I said. Petra looked mad. "GO, TENTACRUEL!" She screamed. Then she threw a pokeball. While she threw it, the crowd went nuts. But then it appeared. It looked 12 feet tall, and just looked menacing with all it's tentles. "REEK!" It yelled loudly. Rainer backed up slowly. 'HYDRO PUMP!" Petra yelled. Then it shot a gush of water at rainer, but it was bigger than water gun, it looked 5 feet across. But it hit Rainer hard, but after it hit her it didn't stop. It pushed Rainer into me, so I got hit with the Hydro pump. So when Rainer hit me I held onto her tightly and was shot back into the water behind me, then everything went black.
"I won't die here!" I screamed under water. Then my vision came back. I was swimming in a 10 feet deep small moat with Rainer in my arms. I then swam up and saw everyone's eyes on me. I then jumped back onto the stadium. But as I did that i felt a sharp pain in my chest, think i cracked a rib, but it didn't matter. Then I grabbed Rainer pokeball and put her back. "You did well." I said silently. "Do you quit?" I heard petra's voice ring through the stadium. The crowd didn't say anything though, they just watched me carefully. I then stood up fully while grabbing my side. "You think I'm done, I'm just waiting for you to bring a challenge!" I yelled at her. I then coughed up a little blood. "Are you sure, you look injured?" Ptra asked, she sounded scared. But I didn't care. "BRING IT!" I screamed. "Very well, choose your next pokemon wisley." She told me. I had three left, but if there was one pokemon I know I can't use, it's unfortunately bud, so i needed him next. "Go, Bud!" I yelled. I then threw his pokeball. Then he landed on the ground, flopping around. "KARP KARP!" He yelled as he jumped in the water. The crowd then busted out in laughter, even Petra looked amused. "Is that a magikarp, fine then, just use poison jab." Petra said laughing a bit. Tentacruel then threw one of its tentacles at bud. But bud then went underwater. The tentacle went into the water, but Bud rose next to it. "It missed, try again, with multiple ones!" Petra yelled. "REEK!" It screamed. Then one by one, it threw it's tentacles at Bud, the first three missed, but when the forth one was coming down Bud jumped out of the water. I got scared, I didn't know what he was doing. Then one came down and hit Bud, but Bud was over one of the other tentacles, so it went through Bud and hit himself! "Karp…" Bud said silently. But Tentacruel looked hurt. It backed up and Bud slid off his arm. "Way to go Bud!" I yelled. Petra looked confused. "You used your weak pokemon to make my pokemon attack itself, interesting." She said. "Bud, return." I said as I lifted my arm and put him back inside, but once he was inside the all I fell on my knees. My chest hurt really bad, I shouldn't have lifted my arm so quickly. Petra was about to say something, but I raised my hand, then I slowly got up. I then grabbed Pysduck's pokeball. "I'm fine, but go, Psyduck!' I yelled as I weakly threw Psyduck's pokeball. Then he landed on the ground. 'PSY PSY!" He yelled. I then pulled out the pokedex to see what moves he knew. My eyes went wide. "WONDER ROOM!" I yelled. Then Psyduck looked more serious. Then some kind of wall started forming around him, and got bigger and bigger until him and Tentacruel was inside of the room he made. The crowd was silent, I couldn't see what was going on. But then all the sudden the walls were gone, and Tentacruel was on the ground, not moving. "What just happened?' Petra asked. I couldn't say anything, I was shocked. Psyduck just stood there, looking fierce. Then petra got a serious look on her face. "Return, go, Starmie!" She yelled as she quickly switched pokemon. Then there stood starmie, I assumed it was the evolved form of Staryu, it looked just like him, well kinda. This was bigger and had ten arms instead of five, and was purple. "Hya!" It said boldly. "Use surf!" Petra screamed. A wave a water then started to appear underneath Starmie. The he crashed that water down on Psyduck. When the water was gone, Psyduck fainted. "Hya!"
Starmie yelled triumply. "Return Psyduck!" I said as I put him back in. I then held staryu's pokeball in my hand. I'm counting on you. "Go, Staryu!" I yelled. Then Staryu landed in front of Starmie. "Hya!" He said. "Hya!" Starmie replied. Staryu then stepped back a bit. "You're good staryu, but use tackle!" I yelled. "Hya!" He said. Then he ran up to Starmie. "Counter." Petra said camly just before Staryu hit him. Starmie then rushed forwards and rammed into staryu who went flying back. Then he stopped moving. "No." I said quietly. Petra smiled and the crowd went nuts. I then fell onto my knees. I then looked up at Petra. She was going to say something, but something stopped her. Staryu started to get up, but then he started to glow brightly. His whole body was white, but I could see part of him moving and changing. Then the glowing stopped, and before me stood a Starmie! "You evolved." I said with my mouth open. Then the crowd went even crazier. "No time to waste, use your new move, hydro pump, and then finish him with a tackle!" I yelled. Starmie then quickly blasted it with hydro pump, it had no time to react and just got hit, then my Starmie ran up and tackled it. It went back and landed right in front of Petra. "You...you...just beat me." She said silently. "WE DID IT!" I said loudly. I was then going to run up to Starmie, but then I felt something in my ribs. Then i fell to the ground, losing consciousness.
