Chapter Six
I woke up to Marcia and Yoshi talking.
"So has anyone died yet?" she asked.
"No, not yet," he answered. "I hope everything will turn out okay."
"Me too," I agreed, sitting up. The sunlight was streaming through the window. "I hope everyone lives, but I am not going to promise anything. But I will try to win every battle."
"Okay," Marcia sighed.
We got up and I got dressed. I walked out of the PokeCenter and out of Pewter City. I walked down Route 3, and kept fighting my way through.
"Let's go," I sighed. We were standing in front of the Route 4 PokeCenter.
I opened the door and was accosted by a shifty looking man. "Here, have a Magikarp. It's a strong Pokemon! Only 500 dollars."
"Okay," I sighed, knowing he wouldn't leave me alone until I bought it. I fished out 500 dollars and gave it to the man. He shouted his thanks and left. I sighed again, and walked to the PC in the corner of the PokeCenter. I deposited it and went to heal my Pokemon.
.oOo.
I walked out of the PokeCenter, and basked in the warm sun. "I can't wait to get through Mt. Moon. But what were they saying about Team Rocket?"
"I don't understand either. It was weird," Yoshi agreed.
"Well let's go," I sighed. We walked into Mt. Moon, and I saw it was dark but light was filtering through the walls.
"Natural light?" I wondered.
"Sure it is," Marcia told me. "Mt. Moon is said to be lit by the Moon Stones in the walls. Everyone knows that."
"Cool!" I exclaimed. I walked down the trodden path, and saw a bunch of Zubats.
"A Zubat in a cave. Oh how rare," I said sarcastically.
I caught the Zubat and kept it with me. I was going to put it in the box when I got to Cerulean City.
"Now what?" I wondered. I wandered through the mountain, and found a trainer.
"Hey, are you with those suspiscious men in the cave? I'm sure they're from Team Rocket."
"No, I'm just trying to get to Cerulean City," I answered.
"Oh, it's that way," he told me, pointing in the opposite direction. I thanked him and walked on.
.oOo.
A floor later, and I was stopped by a ridiculous looking man in black. "Hey hand over your Pokemon!"
"No way!" I shouted. I sent Anna up front and he sent out a Sandshrew.
"Anna use confusion!" I shouted.
"Sandshrew use scratch!" the man in black yelled.
Anna let off a strong psychic attack, and it hit the Sandshrew head on, knocking it out in one hit.
"Damn," the man said. He took out another Pokeball and sent out a Zubat.
"Anna again!" I shouted.
"Zubat use astonish!" he cried out.
Anna went first and knocked the Zubat out.
"Damn you! You're interfering with our plans! Team Rocket is going after something in Cerulean City!"
"Why are you telling me this?"
"Because you'll never get there in one piece. My colleges will get you!" He ran off, and I continued through the cave.
I climbed the ladder back up after finding an Ether, which would become useful and looked around. The light shone a path through the cave, and I followed it. Eventually I found another ladder with another Team Rocket member at the bottom.
"If you find fossils give them to me and scram!" he shouted after I defeated him.
"Sheesh," I sighed. "What is up with these people."
"I don't know," Anna replied. She was the only one out of her Pokeball and was flying softly next to me.
"It's weird though. What do they want with fossils?"
"Maybe to sell them?" she questioned.
"I guess," I answered.
We climbed the ladder again, and I walked through the cave until I came to another ladder in the ground. I climbed down it and found myself in a tunnel.
I walked through the small tunnel, until I found myself down a floor. Immediately I was accosted by another Team Rocket member,
"Give me all your money!" he cried out, sending out a Zubat.
"Go Hedwig!" I yelled. I threw the Pokeball and Hedwig popped out. I made Hedwig use quick attack and the Zubat used leech life. Hedwig made the Zubat faint, and the Team Rocket member ran away.
"Hmmm," Hedwig murmured. "I wonder what his problem was." She had just evolved. She was bigger, and her plume was more pronounced in a red color.
"We don't know," I sighed. We kept walking on and eventually ran into another Team Rocket member, who I beat.
"Team Rocket will blacklist you!" the woman yelled.
"Oh fuck off," I sighed.
We walked on and ran into a scientist.
"Hey, both these fossils are mine. You can't have them!"
"Go Marcia," I sighed. He sent out a Grimer.
"Marcia use scratch!"
"Grimer use pound!"
Marcia scratched the Grimer and made it faint.
"Go Voltorb!" he cried out.
"Marcia use double kick!"
"Voltorb use tackle!"
Marcia kicked the Voltorb right in the middle, and made it faint before it could tackle her.
"Damn it. Magnemite go!" the man cried out.
"Marcia again!" Marcia use double kick on the Magnemite and made it faint.
"Fine, we can each have a fossile. No being greedy though," the man said, returning his Pokemon.
I took the Helix fossile, and walked through the tunnel to the exit.
.oOo.
I walked down Route 4 and into the grass. Immediately I saw a Sandshrew and caught it. I walked through the rest of the route and got to Cerulean City.
"Finally I'm here," I sighed. I walked to the PokeCenter being lit up by the setting sun, and went inside.
"A room please, and can you heal my Pokemon?" I asked the nurse.
"Sure, this way please," she told me.
I went into the room, let out my Pokemon, and went to sleep.
