Red's Pokemon Adventure:

Chapter 8

Charmander: Level 13

Pidgey: Level 10

Green's P.O.V

"Onix, use bind!" Brock yelled.

"Get him away from you with vine whip!" I exclaimed.

Brock's Onix charged at Bulbasaur, only to be knocked back by his vine whip.

"Follow up with a razor leaf!" I yelled.

Bulbasaur shot a stream of leaves at Brock's Onix, finishing him off.

Brock groaned. "That's the third loss in a row…"

I walked over to him and held out my hand expectantly.

Brock sighed. "Well, I guess you've earned it. Here, take the boulder badge."

He handed me the rock colored badge.

"Thank you," I said, placing the badge in my recently acquired badge case.

The maze was raised to the ceiling, giving me a passage to the exit. I exited the gym, and started off towards the pokemon center.

Red's P.O.V

"Damn it!" I exclaimed under my breath.

I had just arrived back at the pokemon center, only to have Nurse Joy deliver a letter to me.

"Oh, are you Red?" Nurse Joy asked.

"Yeah. Why do you ask?"

"Well, I was given a letter to give to you by a boy called Blue," she said.

She handed a piece of scrap paper to me.

It read:

You'll never catch up to me Red! I'm heading through Mt. Moon to Cerulean City to get my second gym badge. Smell ya later!

-Blue

There's no other word to describe it. I was seriously pissed.

"That's it; I'm going to leave for Cerulean early tomorrow morning…" I said under my breath.

Just then the doors to the center opened. I turned around only to see Green standing there.

"Hey Green," I said.

"Huh? Oh, hey Red," she said.

"Did you get the gym badge?" I asked.

"Yeah, I won one," she said.

"So what're you going to do now?" I asked.

"I'm going to head through Mt. Moon, and get to Cerulean to get my second badge. And you?" She said.

"Same," I said.

"Oh, if that's the case, why don't we go together," she said.

"Sure," I said.

"Great, then it's settled. See you tomorrow," she said. With that she walked over to the steps, and went up them.

I looked over at the clock, only to see that it was only 9:00 P.M. I still had some time to kill, so I went to the route south of Pewter to do some training.


The Next Day

I woke up hearing a knock at the door. I groaned and pushed myself out of the bed that I was in. I landed on the floor painfully, and hurriedly got to my feet and got dressed. I opened the door swiftly, only to see Green standing there.

"What's up?" I asked.

"'What's up?' That's it? I wanted to head off for Mt. Moon two hours ago!" She exclaimed.

"Huh? What time is it?" I asked.

"It's one o'clock in the afternoon!" She yelled.

"What?! I overslept!" I said in complete shock.

"Damn right you overslept!" She said coldly. "Now hurry up and get ready to go, or I'm going with out you!"

"I am ready," I said.

"You haven't brushed your teeth, or taken a shower yet," She said.

"Okay, okay, maybe I'm not ready yet. I'll be back in twenty minutes," I said.

"Whatever, I'll be in the lobby," she said. With that she stalked off.

"Jeez, what's got her so riled up," I said under my breath.

"I heard that!" She yelled.

"Heard what? I didn't say anything!" I said. With that I ran into my room, closing and locking the door on the way.

15 minutes later

"Well, I think I've got everything I need, let's go," I said.

"Finally," Green said.

We both left the pokemon center, and headed to the east of the city.

"So this is the exit to the city?" I asked.

"Yeah," Green said.

We both started walking towards it, only to see a group of kids running the opposite way, right towards us, screaming.

"Wow, wow, what's going on?" I asked.

"Mount… Moon…" One of the kids said between deep breaths.

"What happened at Mount moon?" Green asked.

"First, a bunch of guys in black clothes showed up, and started bashing at the cave walls with sledge hammers. Then the entire cave started to collapse, and we got separated from the rest of our friends!" The kid replied.

"That's horrible!" Green said. "Red, we have to help them!"

"Right," I said. "By the way kid, what did you say those guys were wearing?"

"All black clothing," the kid said. "Oh yeah! They had red R's on their shirts!"

"You sure?" I asked.

The kid nodded.

"Then I know who did this. It was team rocket," I said.

"Who's team rocket?" Green asked.

"Well, remember that guy from the Viridian forest?" I asked.

"Yeah," she said.

"Well, that's the name of the organization he's in," I said.

"Oh… Oh crud, that guy did have a red R on his shirt, this must be team rocket then. I mean, no normal person would have a red R on their shirt," Green stated.

"I have to agree with you on that one," I said.

"Well don't worry kids, we'll take care of this," Green said.

"Right," I said.

"You run along now," she said.

"Alright," the kids replied. With that they ran off.

"Well, let's go," I said.

"Right," Green replied.

2 Hours Later

In front of us stood a wooden sign, the bore the words "Mt. Moon."

"Finally, the end of that route!" I exclaimed. "Why does it seem that we battled every trainer on that damn route?"

"Because we did," Green said. "It would have helped if you hadn't challenged half of them!"

"Hey, don't blame me!" I exclaimed. "I needed to train my Pidgey! He was three levels behind my Charmander. It should be really helpful during the battle to have a level twelve Pidgey."

"Yeah, yeah, whatever," Green said.

"Anyway, I think we should get our pokemon healed at the pokemon center over there," I said.

"Okay then," Green said.

After all of our pokemon had been healed, we headed back to the entrance to Mt. Moon.

"Well, let's go," Green said.

We walked into Mt. Moon, only to be met with darkness.

"I'm pretty sure that there was supposed to be some lights in here," I said.

"Me too," Green said. "It must be a black out or something."

"Yeah… Hey, I got an idea," I said.

I took out my pokeball containing Charmander, and let him out. The fire on his tail instantly illuminated the area. Enough so that we could see that is.

"Good thinking," Green said.

"Thanks," I replied.

Now that the area was somewhat lit up, I could see that we were in a medium sized tunnel, that increased in width as the tunnel went on.

"Come on, let's go," Green said.

We started walking down the tunnel, carefully watching our step in the dim light. While we were walking, I noticed a hole in the ground, and a latter propped up against the side leading underground.

"Hey Green, wait here," I said. "I'm going to check out what that latter leads to."

"No, I think it might be a good idea if we don't split up," Green said.

"Green, just wait here. I'll only be a few minutes," I said.

"Fine then, just hurry up," Green said.

I carefully placed my right foot on the first rung of the latter, then my left on the second rung. Once I saw that the latter wasn't going to break while I was climbing down, I quickly went down the rest of the latter, which was longer then I thought.

When I reached the bottom I noticed that the lights here were working.

"Green, it isn't a power outage!" I yelled up the latter. "The lights down here work!"

"That's great, now hurry it up!" Green yelled back.

"Right," I said under my breath.

I looked at my surroundings, only to see that I was in what seemed to be a storage room. There were stray pokeballs and team rocket uniforms littering the floor. Closets also held these things, except they were a bit more orderly in them. In front of me was a small, badly made, wooden door. I walked over to it, and tried the knob. I was surprised to see it clicked, and the door swung open.

"They don't really have a gift for tight security," I said.

I walked through the door, only to be shoved against the wall on the other side when I did. I quickly knocked away the hand of whoever had pushed me against the wall, and punched said person in the face.

"Take that you- Blue?!" I exclaimed mid-sentence.

"Red?!" Blue replied.


Sorry it took so long to get this one out, it's been hard to work on these with all the school work I have to do. I hope you enjoyed the chapter. I'll try to get Ch. 9 up as soon as possible, but it might take awhile.
