KKD: Man, we're really on a roll with these chapters for Pokemon, aren't we?
Pikatwig: Hai aibou! So today we venture into the Viridian Forest, the home of Yellow from the Pokemon Adventure mangas. So anything to say aibou?
KKD: I'm just surprised that girl actually lived in Viridian Forest.
Pikatwig: She actually lived in Viridian City, but anyway, you ready for yet another Neo Yellow chapter?
KKD: Now I am. Cue disclaimers.
DISCLAIMERS: KKD & Pika only own Takeshi, Hana, Daisuke, Ino, and a few select other things in this story. Everything else is owned by Nintendo, Game Freak, the Pokemon Company, and their respective owners.
Hana: Hey minna! Last time, I got my very first Ribbon using my Eevee Cinnamon! And after that, me, Daisuke and my baka brother Takeshi began our way to Pewter City, but we gotta get through the Viridian Forest first!
Chapter 4: Trek Through the Viridian Forest!
"Alright, once we step through here, we'll be on our way to the next city!" Daisuke said, as Takeshi and Hana both walked over to the door leading to the Route.
"Move it you baka!" Hana told Takeshi.
"Well quit pushing!" Takeshi retorted.
"You quit pushing!"
"Um, guys can we get going?" Daisuke asked them.
"Butt out Daisuke!" both Takeshi and Hana told him as the door opened and they both fell to the ground.
"Do you always do this?" Daisuke asked.
"Sometimes…" Hana told him, as Cinnamon and Shocker walked over to their trainers.
"Pikachu?" Shocker asked Takeshi.
"I'm good, Shocker," Takeshi assured. "Let's move."
"Oh and I'm fine too! Baka." Hana yelled at her brother, waiting for someone to help her up.
Thankfully, Daisuke gave her that hand she needed.
"Thanks Daisuke." she said, dusting herself off.
"No problem," Daisuke replied.
"Vee?" Cinnamon asked her partner to see if she was okay.
"WOW!" Takeshi yelled as he ran after a Pokemon.
"Now what?" Daisuke sighed.
"Baka's going after a Pokemon." Hana told him.
"Right," Daisuke nodded.
Said Pokemon Takeshi was after looked like a giant green mantis with wings and it's claws as sharp a scythes.
"I'm gonna catch that Pokemon, it looks amazing!" Takeshi yelled as he and Shocker ran behind it, "Alright, Shocker use Thunderbolt!"
"PIKA~CHUUUUUUUU!" Shocker shouted, zapping the Pokemon, and causing it to land on the ground.
"Scy… THER!" it yelled, turning around to face Takeshi and Pikachu, not really have a scratch!
"At least we got his attention Shocker," Takeshi noted. "Alright, now use Grass Knot!"
Shocker did the move, surprising the Pokemon, but it sliced through the grass around it.
"Scyther," it growled.
"Okay… that was not my best idea… what else can you use Shocker?" he asked pulling out his Pokedex.
The Pokedex showed Shocker still had full health, and it showed he knew Thunderbolt, Grass Knot, Quick Attack, and... Electro Ball?
"Hmm… okay, Shocker use Electro Ball!" Takeshi shouted, getting a nod from Shocker.
He then let a small amount of electricty discharge from his body, which then reformed into the move, forming a sphere electric power on his tail, he then spun forward once, and it made a direct hit on the enemy Pokemon!
But the wild Pokemon wasn't done yet! Flying forward, the blades on it's hands then glowed and he attacked Pikachu by crossing them like an x. This did major damage to Shocker, who walked over to Takeshi.
"Alright, Deku you're up!" Takeshi shouted summoning his Bulbasaur.
"BULBASAUR!" Deku shouted, landing in front of the large bug.
"Now what moves do you know?" Takeshi pondered as his Pokedex showed Deku knew Vine Whip, Solar Beam, Razor Leaf, and Sleep Powder. "I've got it! Alright Deku use Sleep Powder!"
With that, Deku emitted a purple dust from his bulb at the large bug, which suddenly made it fall asleep.
"Alright, go PokeBall!" Takeshi shouted, throwing the sphere at his target.
The Pokemon went inside of it, and then it was caught!
"YOSHA!" Takeshi cheered. "Now to check the dex."
-Scyther, the Mantis Pokemon, Leaps out of tall grass and slices prey with its scythes. The movement looks like that of a ninja.-
"Cool," Takeshi smirked as Daisuke, Hana, and Cinnamon caught up with him.
"So, the Pokedex can show a Pokemon's current condition and moves?" Hana asked.
"Yea," Takeshi nodded showing his a Pokedex had the stats on his entire team.
"Cool, so can I do that too?" Hana asked Daisuke.
"If it works on one dex, it works for them all," Daisuke answered.
Hana then pulled out her Pokedex to see Cinnamon's moves, but it only listed Quick Attack, Sand Attack, Double Team and Assist.
"I thought Cinnamon knew more moves." Hana replied.
"There's a scroll option, Baka," Takeshi replied.
"You're the baka for not telling me sooner," Hana scolded as she scrolled through her list, showing Bite and Take Down.
"So what was the Pokemon you just caught?" Daisuke asked.
"I just caught myself a Scyther," Takeshi answered showing his ball to his friends.
"I guess there was another swarm, 'cause from my findings back in Viridian, the only Pokemon here are Caterpie, Metapod, Pidgies, Mankies, and the occasional Pidgeotto," Daisuke noted.
"I'll call him… Gaim!" Takeshi announced.
"Gaim?" both Daisuke and Hana asked.
"Just came to me," he admitted.
"Oh yea, like Shocker and Driller just came to you," Hana scoffed. "Shut up!" Takeshi replied.
"Like Cinnamon's even a good name!" he said, striking Hana's final nerve!
"THAT'S IT!" Hana roared, pouncing onto Takeshi and getting them into a wrestling match that Daisuke, Shocker, and Cinnamon could only watch.
"Take that back!" Hana yelled.
"Not a chance!" Takeshi responded, earning himself a punch in the face, and an armlock!
"Take it back!" Hana insisted.
"As soon as you stop calling me Baka!" Takeshi answered.
"NO!" Hana replied.
Then, Takeshi somehow got out of the armlock before using a leglock on Hana.
"PIKA PIKA!" Shocker shouted, trying to get Takeshi to stop.
"Vee, Ee!" Cinnamon added, doing the same.
Daisuke then picked the two up and stopped them from continuing.
"What's the idea?!" Takeshi responded.
"I almost had him!" Hana snapped.
"Will you both knock it off! Look, we're not gonna get anywhere by arguing! Now just stop and let's get going to Pewter City already!" Daisuke scolded.
"NO!" Hana yelled.
"Wait what?"
"I refuse to take another step with him! Daisuke if you wanna go with him, then by all means! Not going with you bakas anymore! Come on Cinnamon, we're leaving!" Hana announced as she and Cinnamon walked off in a hurry.
"Aren't you gonna go after her?" Daisuke asked Takeshi.
"No way. She's such a jerk," Takeshi muttered before something shiny and blue seemed to appear at the corner of his eye. "Eh? What was that?"
"What was what?" Daisuke asked him.
"Didn't you see that blue shiny thing?" Takeshi asked.
"No… anyway, we should go and get Hana before she gets lost!" Daisuke insisted.
"...Why? She's been nothing but a jerk to me my entire life," Takeshi replied.
(Cue Flashback)
Takeshi was just having a peaceful time outside when he was five when… he was shoved into the mud.
"Baka Baka Baka~!" five-year-old Hana's voice taunted as he looked to see her teasing him.
(End Flahback)
"Is that it?" Daisuke asked.
"Nope!" Takeshi replied.
(Cue Flashback)
"I want that cake!" an eight year old Takeshi said, "No I get the first bite!"
"You'll never give me one!"
"Yes I will, so move it!" Hana said, shoving him away, and she took big piece, and did leave Takeshi some…
"Baka like always!" she told him, with little of the cake left.
"Mou~!" Takeshi groaned.
(End Flashback)
"See my point?!" Takeshi asked Daisuke.
"Yea... but weren't there any points in your life that she did something good or nice to you?" Daisuke asked.
"Well they're point enough for me Daisuke, so if she gets lost, I don't care! Come on, I've got a gym to challenge, and you've got a Pokedex to complete!" Takeshi responded, running off in a direction opposite of Hana, with Shocker right behind him.
"That guy sometimes…" Daisuke sighed following them.
Meanwhile over with Hana, she was simply relaxing in the shade of a tree, Cinnamon by her side. However, Cinnamon felt sad about her Trainer not getting along with her brother.
"Finally ditched that dumb baka. Feels like the weight of the world's off my shoulders…" Hana told Cinnamon.
"Vee?" Cinnamon, not sure if Hana meant that.
"He really crossed the line making fun of your nickname Cinnamon!" Hana told her Pokemon.
Cinnamon just sighed in response.
"Something wrong Cinnamon?" she asked.
However, Cinnamon just turned her tail to Hana in response.
"Cinnamon… are you mad about us arguing?" Hana asked.
"EEVEE!" Cinnamon answered as if saying "OBVIOUSLY!"
This stunned Hana, and then she felt... regret for her arguing with her brother.
"... I'm sorry Cinnamon, he always bugs me, and teasing you made me snap!" Hana replied.
"Eevee ve?" Cinnamon asked as if curious if Takeshi tried to do something nice for her.
(Cue Flashback)
A six year old Hana was crying her eyes out, when Takeshi walked over to her.
"What's wrong?" he asked.
"Some boy pushed me in the mud and called Contests stupid!" Hana told her brother.
"Hey, c'mon sis. He just doesn't know about them well. Now me, I'll support you all the way," Takeshi told her.
(End flashback)
"Yeah… he did do nice things for me. Right now, I just want a little time away from him, okay Cinnamon. I'll go back to him and Daisuke later." She told Cinnamon.
"Vee," the Eevee smiled.
"But right now, let's relax a little and enjoy this bright day while it lasts." Hana told Cinnamon.
Cinnamon just nodded in response. Then her ears picked up on something, she then heard something approaching. "Vee!"
"Cinnamon, what's up?" she asked.
Then, almost as if on cue, a little girl came running by, with Beedrills chasing her!
"NANI?!" Hana gasped.
Suddenly, Cinnamon dashed after the Beedrill as if to stop them herself. But when the Beedrills were about to attack, Hana jumped right in the way, taking the attack herself, much to Cinnamon's shock!
"EEVEE!" Cinnamon gasped in shock.
Meanwhile with Takeshi, he found some kid smiling and laughing, talking to a small Eevee.
"I played the best trick on that jerk on that stupid girl from home! I told her to go over right where the Beedrills nest, and now she's probably being stung right now!" the boy said. "That's some dumb girl there, best trick I've ever played before they move over to the west again, and then we're back over to Pewter City."
"Are you crazy?!" Takeshi asked the boy. "That girl could be killed!"
"Duh, that girl's been nothing but a big ol' baka the entire time I've known her. Stupid kid from the stupid west!" he scoffed, making Takeshi realize how he acted towards his own sister.
"Sound familiar?" Daisuke asked Takeshi.
In response, Takeshi's fist was clenched tighter than ever before...
"She's no Baka... YOU ARE!" Takeshi roared punching the boy across the face, knocking him to the ground.
Back over with Hana and the girl, both Cinnamon and Spiral were fighting hard to keep the Beedrill away!
"Keep it up you two!" Hana said, still on her knees due to the attack from the Beedrill, soon they bees flew away after their leader was knocked out.
"You okay kid?" she asked, seeing the girl in some unusal clothing.
The girl looked like she wore biker shorts, black shoes, a red shirt, yellow vest, and had back hair.
"I... I think so," the girl panted.
"What'd you do to make those Beedrill mad?" Hana asked as the girl looked at some of the marks from the Beedrill, none of them serious, and would be fine soon.
"Someone told me to check something by their nest, when suddenly, something hit the nest and they were after me," she answered.
"Looks like someone played a mean trick on you." Hana figured.
"I'm only seven and I'm kinda gullible…" she told Hana. "But you saved me, you have some really cool Pokemon."
"I'm just trying to help," Hana assured, recalling her brother helped save her in a similar fashion from some bullies last year. "...My Nii-San would've done the same."
"What's your brother like?" the girl asked.
"...He's a Baka at times... but he's a nice guy at heart," Hana answered.
Cinnamon then gave her a small smile.
"But anyway, what's your name?"
"...Xion." the girl replied.
"That's a nice name," Hana smiled. "My name's Hana."
Xion simply smiled and looked at her two Pokemon.
"They're so kawaii!"
"Thanks. I'm hoping to become the best Coordinator in Kanto," Hana smiled.
"That's a cool dream. I'll watch you on TV and be sure to root for you!" Xion told Hana.
"Thanks," Hana replied, and then she looked at the girl. "Hey, do you know the way to Pewter City? I have to meet up with my brother there."
"Yep," Xion said. "but, I wanna take a breather, running from those Beedrill wasn't fun." Xion told Hana, sitting down.
"Hai," Hana nodded as they all sat down to relax.
Back over with Takeshi and Daisuke they saw the kid run away and back home.
"Give it up, this kid isn't worth the energy," Daisuke told Takeshi, as they both saw a butterfly Pokemon fly by.
"...You're right," Takeshi nodded. "You want to catch that Pokemon? I'll go off and find Hana."
"Hold up, you need to stay with me, I don't need you getting lost as well!" Daisuke said, dragging both Takeshi and Shocker away.
Back over with Hana and Xion, the younger girl was looking at Spiral's spiral shape in curiosity.
"It's so amazing…" Xion said looking at it in intrigue, but she looked a little too deep into it…
"Careful," Hana responded, snapping Xion out of her staring. "What happened?" she asked.
"Sraring into Spiral's spiral too long will make you lose focus. Poliwag are all born knowing Hypnosis," Hana answered.
"Oh…" Xion replied. "But anyway, both your Pokemon are amazing! You'll be a Top Coordinator in no time at all!"
"Thanks… again. You sure know how to flatter a girl," Hana smiled. Xion simply giggled, as Cinnamon walked over to Hana's legs.
"What up with your Eevee there?" Xion asked.
"Oh, she's unusual like this," Hana replied removing her shoes.
"But in a good way." also removing her socks.
"Wow! That polish is kawaii!"
"Got it this way back in Viridian City," Hana gleamed proudly.
Xion then gave a confused look as to why Hana went barefoot.
"Cinnamon likes getting petted with my barefeet," Hana explained the unanswered question, petting Cinnamon like she said.
Cinnamon had a gleaming smile as Hana did this.
"Um… can I try?" Xion asked.
"Sure," Hana answered as Xion was already removing her shoes and socks.
Cinnamon then walked over to Xion's feet and sniffed them a little, giving a warm smile to Xion. Xion smiled in response before trying to pet her with her feet, and Cinnamon helped her out, rubbing her body against Xion's feet.
"How can you make it look easy?" Xion asked.
"It just came to me," Hana answered. "But it does feel good, doesn't it?"
Xion then looked at the smile Cinnamon had, and enjoyed it.
"Yeah, it's nice, so does your Poliwag like this too?" Xion inquired.
"Not that I know of," Hana answered, as Xion put her footwear back on.
"I felt good, so, can I watch you do it to Cinnamon?" Xion asked.
"Sure," Hana nodded doing so.
"Wow, Cinnamon really looks like she enjoys this," Xion said.
"Yea, she sure does," Hana nodded, continuing, with Cinnamon looking at her feet like it was candy, wanting more of it. "Don't worry, I won't stop."
Xion then stood up and looked at Hana.
"How about we get going to Pewter City now? My mom's probably worried," Xion suggested as Hana stopped and put her footwear back on.
"That sounds like a good idea," Hana nodded when…
"Hana!" they heard two male voices responded.
She saw it was Daisuke and Takeshi, she gave a small look at her brother.
"I know we need to get going but can you at least apologize to Cinnamon first Baka-Takeshi?" Hana asked.
"Of course. Sorry about insulting your name like that, Cinnamon," Takeshi apologized to his sister's Eevee.
"Vee," Cinnamon smiled accepting the apology.
"But more importantly… I'm sorry about always being such a baka and acting rude with you, Nee-chan," Takeshi added, directing it at his sister.
"Well, you may be a baka, but you're my twin brother baka!" Hana said in a nice tone.
"And I'm glad to be the baka brother to such a baka sister," Takeshi added, but instead of snapping, the two laughed knowing they admitted they were bakas in their own rights.
"So who's the girl?" Daisuke asked.
"Oh. Intros, right. Daisuke, Takeshi-nii, meet Xion. Xion, meet my Nii-san Takeshi and our friend Daisuke," Hana replied.
"Hi. I live in Pewter City, so I can take you the fastest way there." Xion said.
"That's great. Arigatou," Takeshi replied with a bow.
"No problem," Xion replied before leading the group down a path to the City in question.
They soon arrived, with Takeshi and Daisuke bolting for the Pokemon Center, followed closely by Shocker.
"Thanks for the help Xion," Hana smiled.
"Um, before you go, I have a gift for you." Xion said, taking out a small stone.
This stone was a bright orange-red and almost had the image of a flame inside it.
"What's this?" Hana asked, picking up the stone.
"You know how Eevee has more than one evolution, right?" Xion asked.
"Yea, the Eeveelutions," Hana nodded.
"It has eight. Use a Water Stone, it becomes Vaporeon. Use a Thunder Stone, you'll get a Jolteon. Train it in the daylight, you'll get an Espeon. Train it in the night, you'll get an Umbreon. Get it in a forest, it'll be Leafeon. Get it in a snowy area, it'll be Glaceon. Have it know a Fairy move, it'll be Slyveon. And then the Fire Stone I gave you, will make it become Flareon," Xion told Hana.
"Wow. That's amazing," Hana gawked as Cinnamon looked at the stone in Hana's hand.
"So Cinnamon, you wanna evolve?" she asked, but Cinnamon nodded no.
"I'll hang onto the stone, you can tell me when you wanna evolve, okay?" Hana asked, Cinnamon nodded and Hana then was about to give it a pet, but Cinnamon jumped to her hand. "You wanna normal one? Okay."
She then petted Cinnamon normally.
"Guess it wants to be petted normally. It just prefers the feet." Xion said.
"Seems like it," Hana giggled.
Cinnamon then walked over to Xion as she was about to leave.
"I'll see you again one day Hana. I promise that," Xion told her, and then she left.
Hana smiled and looked at the girl, as they walked to the Pokemon Center to meet up with Takeshi and Daisuke.
Hana: Next time, my brother will take on the very first gym! This'll be one cool match, but who will win?! Find out next time!
Takeshi: Deku, go for it!
Deku: Bulbasaur!
Hana: Jikai, Pokemon Neo Yellow Version: Punch! The Rock type Gym!
Pikatwig: That was amazing right aibou?
KKD: Sure was. I'm glad the twins finally got to get along together.
Pikatwig: Anyway, Cinnamon's little petting ways won't be in every chapter, hopefully, so you readers know.
KKD: Makes sense. So what did you like about this chapter?
Pikatwig: When we met Xion. What do you think of her?
KKD: She's very nice, and very helpful. Interesting that she actually gave Hana the Fire Stone.
Pikatwig: There's something big about her, that won't be revealed for a long while… we're not gonna tell you!
KKD: Sorry, no spoilers. But on a side note, my favorite parts are when Takeshi caught Gaim the Scyther and saw that shiny blue Pokemon. Also, to let the readers know, Gaim is actually the name of the newest Kamen Rider, so it makes sense for us to name one of the Pokemon after him.
Pikatwig: Came from my mind readers. So, Jaa ne!
