Finally, after a day of walking, and one weird trainer battle, my Pokemon and I arrived in Viridian city. Mew was sitting on my right shoulder, as we looked through out the entire city. It was the first time I've ever been to such a large city, as we were looking I spotted the city's gym. " Alright we found the gym!"

I exclaimed. Mew then spun around in excitement, as I continued, " Let's hurry!"

We both ran down the street to the gym's door; however as I rushed to push it open I sadly hit face first into it. I fell over on the ground, covering my now red face, as Mew pointed out a sign next to the door that read, " Gym well be closed for the next three months, for renovations…"

" Greeaat…"

I sighed, as I got up and dizzily walked over to the Pokemon center next door. A Pokemon center is a place that offers free health care for Pokemon and rooms and meals for young trainers like me. Once I walked inside a woman with bright pink hair and a nurse's outfit greeted me with a smile and said, " Hi there, welcome to the Viridian city's Pokemon center, my name is Nurse Joy, may I heal your Pokemon for you?"

" Yes please, and can I also use the video phone?"

I replied, as I recalled Mew and handed her my three Pokeball's, she smiled and said, " Of course you can, the phone is right over there by the restrooms, and you Pokemon will be fully healed in just a few minutes."

" Thank you."

I nodded, as went over and sat down at the phone, I then dialed Oak's number and waited. The phone rang for a few seconds until Pro. Oak picked up on the other end, " Hi there Pro. Oak."

I started, " Ohh hello Jake, I was meaning to check on your progress, so how are things going?"

Oak asked, " Great, I captured an Eevee, but the Viridian city gym is closed for the next three months."

" Hmm… that's too bad about the gym, but superb job on catching Eevee, it's a perfect Pokemon for any trainer to have, just call me once you evolve it."

" But what about my gym battle?"

I asked, " As for that matter, I suggest you go further north through Viridian forest to Pewter city."

" Viridian forest."

I said, " Yes, it's filled with bug Pokemon and thick trees, but it's the only way to get to Pewter city from where you're at."

As Oak finished I smirked and exclaimed, " That's fine by me, a forest is a great place to catch Pokemon!"

" That's the sprit Jake, well I have to go now, my tea is getting cold."

Oak finished. Once I hung up the phone nurse Joy handed back my Pokeballs and said, " Thank you for waiting, your Pokemon are at full health, please come back any time."

" Well do nurse Joy."

I added as I left the Pokemon center, while I was walking to the entrance to Viridian forest I noticed that the city seemed deserted. " Hummm…"

I said to myself, but just then I bumped into a man in a black uniform with a big red R in the center of it. " Hey kid, if you want to go to Viridian forest you'll need to pay the toll."

The R man demanded, " Toll? How much?"

I asked, " All of your Pokemon!"

The R man demanded again, " No way, you'll never get any of my Pokemon!"

I bellowed, " Well then… Face the power of Team ROCKET!"

" Team… who now?"

I replied. The Rocket member shook in anger and yelled, " TEAM ROCKET! You little punk!"

I looked up for a second and shrugged, " Never heard of ya…"

The rocket member cringed his fist and screamed, " That's it I'm taking your Pokemon by force, Rhyhorn!"

Just then a small rock rhino like Pokemon flew out of his Pokeball and landed with a large thud in front of me. " Woah that's a tough looking Pokemon."

I thought to myself, but then I remembered Eevee's earthquake attack, anxious to use him for the first time I throw my Pokeball and commanded, " Eevee, let's battle!"

Eevee zoomed out and stretched its body and then, looked fiercely at Rhyhorn and was ready to battle. " Ha that fur ball is no match for Rhyhorn, now use take down!"

The rocket member laughed, " Eevee, use earthquake!"

I commanded, as Eevee immediately jumped over Rhyhorn, and came down with so much force that it sent Rhyhorn flying through a nearby tree. " Ha… Now Koffing hit it with a poison gas attack."

The rocket member sneered, then I looked up and out of nowhere a floating purple ball that spewed toxic gas swooped down and was going to attack Eevee, " Eevee look out!"

I screamed, but just then, I heard a strong but feminine voice say, " Growlithe, use flamethrower!"

A stream of flames came from a small red and black-stripped dog with a white tail, which instantly knocked out Koffing. Then a female officer stepped in front of me, she was surprisingly pretty with light blue hair, she then shouted, " In the name of the Viridian city police, you are under arrest, for being apart of the criminal syndicate Team Rocket!"

" Gawh, I got to get out of here!"

The rocket member sweated, as he started to run away I bellowed, " Ohh no you don't, Eevee tackle him!"

Eevee ran up and face planted the rocket member to the ground. Eevee jumped off of the rocket member as two more officers came and took him and his Pokemon to the police car, " You don't mess with the law, take him away boys!"

the female office commanded, I then recalled Eevee and turned to the female officer and said, " Thanks officer… umm what was your name?"

" Jenny."

She replied, " Jenny thanks for helping me out."

I said, " It was no problem, and be sure to call us again if you see any more Team Rocket members."

" You got officer Jenny."

I saluted, Jenny then saluted back and wished me luck as I entered Viridian forest.

( What while Jake find in viridian forest, it's not what you would think, review and make suggestions )
