Carlos leaves the Cerulean city Pokemon after healing his Pokemon and heads to Cerulean City Pokemon Stadium. Carlos went to the front Desk to get himself registered. The secretary looks at him.
"Hello there. Do you want to register for the tournament? If you are then Please give me your trainer card so I can register you in the tournament" The secretary said as Carlos did as told.
"And there You're now registered into the tournament Mr. Ketchum." The secretary said giving Carlos his trainer card back. Carlos nodded his head as he was giving him a map. Carlos starts to roam the stadium, seeing multiple trainers and pokemon on some of the areas. Upon reaching the training are he saw Locke and John training their pokemon. Carlos sees that Spuds evolved into a Ivysaur,sees a Butterfree and a sees that John's Squirtle evolved into Wartortle, his Mankey is still the same ,his Spearow is still the same .Carlos noticed that he has a male nidoran to his went up to them to greet his childhood friends.
"Hey Guys It's been a while since we last saw each other. How have you guys been?" Carlos says to the Oak siblings.
"Well Johnny boy here already has three badges and caught a few pokemon. While I still have two badges and caught some pokemon as well. How many pokemon have you caught and how many badges do you have?" Locke said to Carlos.
"Well I have two badges and I caught a Nidoran , a Rattata, a Pikachu ,a Clefairy ,a Zubat and a Bulbasaur."Carlos explains to her as he sends out all of the pokemon that's on his team. Upon finishing his explanation he hears the P.A
"Attention all trainers report to the lobby to see who will be your opponent" the secretary said from the P.A. Carlos and the other trainers went to the lobby, upon arriving at the lobby a screen appears which shows the pictures if every trainer that are registered. Each of the pictures are in front of one another. Carlos heads to the battling arena as did the other trainers Carlos knows that he has to give it everything he has to win .Carlos looks at the screen and sees his picture and that of another boy his age. He seems to have black skin a white cap and yellow eyes. Carlos looks at the others who have already seen their opponents. Carlos went over to the Oak siblings.
"So do you two know who your opponents are going to be?" Carlos asked them. Locke points to his brother, Who is giving her the 'I'm going to beat you' look on his face.C arlos nodded as he hears the P.A voice
"ALL TRAINERS REPORT TO THEIR DESIGNATED BATTLE KETCHUM AND RICHARD GARYSON REPORT TO BATTLE ARENA 00001,OAK SIBLINGS REPORT TO BATTLE ARENA 02"the PA voice said as it went on and on. Carlos turns to the Oak siblings
"Well wish me luck guys" Carlos said to them as they nodded their heads "Good luck ketchup boy and don't you dare lose to your opponent" John said to Carlos who nods "Good luck and do your best" Locke said to Carlos "Well same to you" Carlos said as he goes to the battle arena. Upon entering the Battle arena he sees the audience from the bleachers watching him, a giant screen and the standard battle tournament things any trainer expects to see. He sees his opponent,his opponent has black hair ,and silver clothing.
"The battle between Carlos Ketchum from Pallet town and Richard Grayson from Pewter city will now begin. Each trainer will only use one Pokemon each. Once a pokemon faints the battle will be over. Battle Begin!"The referee said as the two trainers reach for their pokeballs.
"Alright let's do this Omanyte!" Richard said as he sends out his Omanyte into battle while Carlos sends out Nidoran into battle.
"An old Fossil this will be an easy battle" Nidoran said as she attacks with double kick,hitting the rock water type as a hole appeared below Nidoran and tectonic energy came right out of it,doing super effective damage to Nidoran. Nidoran uses Double kick multiple times. Omanyte fires water from it's mouth hitting Nidoran as she fires a venomous dart at her opponent ,hitting and poisoning it. Omanyte counters with another water gun and barrages of Earth power, doing constant damage to Nidoran. Nidoran landed on the ground with a thud, struggling to get up as Omanyte was about to use another water gun. Suddenly she starts to glow, Growing bigger, developing a horn. She evolved into A Nidorina!.Nidorina uses bite,fainting the fossil Pokemon. The referee rose a flag.
"Omanyte is unable to battle Nidorina wins and so Carlos Ketchum is the winner and moves on the the next round!" The referee said as Carlos hugs Nidorina who nuzzles her trainer with her newly developed horn and almost hits him with it
"Congrats girl You evolved For a second there I thought we were gonna lose" Carlos says.
"Do not doubt me Carlos. Or you'll be getting a poison sting" Nidorina said as Carlos recalls Nidorina as did Richard to his Omanyte. Richard went over to Carlos and held out his hand for a handshake.
"Good battle Ketchum. Good luck in the next few battles" Richard said To Carlos who nods as he and Richard leave the arena. Upon leaving the arena and arriving at the lobby, he sees Johnathan. Carlos waves at him as his rival waves back.
"So did you win?" Carlos asked John who chuckles "Of course I did did you really think that I would be beaten in the first round?" He said arrogantly. Carlos chuckles at this as he turns his attention to the screen and sees a trainer defeated by a Pikachu, behind the Pikachu and it's trainer is...Paul .Carlos watched as Paul recalls his Pikachu and left without a word.
"You know him?"John asked Carlos as he nodded his head. "Let me guess That's the trainer that comes from Sinnoh?"John asked as he receives another nod from Carlos.
"He got lucky in beating that trainer when I battle him I'll beat him!" John boasted as Carlos's stomach starts to growl causing Carlos to chuckle sheepishly.
"Uh do you know where the cafeteria is?" Carlos asked sheepishly as John sighed and lead him there. Upon arriving at the cafeteria the two trainers saw a buffet and tables full of trainers and Pokemon. Carlos and John let out their Pokemon as they serve some food and eat, "Man I'm stuffed. I can't wait for the next battle when is are they going to be?" Carlos asked Johnathan
"Next year" Johnathan said as Carlos froze when he said that and looked like he was going to faint. John laughs at this "HAHAHA I'm kidding They're going to be tomorrow". Johnathan said. 'This is a good time to train my team and find out about what pokemon my opponents are going to use' Carlos thoughts as he and his team leave the cafeteria 'Or sleep' He added in his thoughts as he heads to the Pokemon center to rest.
A/N: before you ask we don't know what pokemon Paul caught in Kanto during the Anime and ther reason why I gave him a Pikachu is because: Raichu. Anyway another two chapters merged into one.
