I hesitated for a while, as I did I stared into his red eyes. Should I trust this guy? I stared at Red polishing his Pokeballs, and Charizard crawling around the area. Flashbacks were zooming back and forth in my head. He never told me he was a trainer, and even other than that...he never told me he was that good. First, before trusting him, I got to know more about him. Who knows? He might be lying about his life. He might be a lie? What if those aren't his Pokemon?! Nah, I'm getting way to paranoid. I think I'll start off with allowing him to teach me a few things. Maybe there will be a positive outcome from this. I got to do this for Squirtle, Pidgey, Beedrill, the rest of my team and my Pokemon. I have to be more skilled for my mother and Hilbert. I got to try and cooperate with Red.

"Fine, teach me." I sighed. A grin appeared on Red's face. "That's awesome. Let's go back to Cerulean though." Red got on his Charizard. "You coming?" He asked me. I nodded. Well, here we go again. "You better not go to fast." I mumbled. "No worries, White." He laughs remembering how terrified I got last time.

As we were flying the skies, I wondered who that man was. He randomly came up to me and attacked. In a non so appropriate way. I think Red knows. "Red, who was that guy who attacked me?" I asked concerned. Red didn't answer. He was either thinking about it or just wanted to ignore my question. I hope he didn't want to ignore me. I know he thinks I'm stupid, but he is too. Bad thoughts about Red. I rolled my eyes at myself.

"He looked familiar. I think I know what's going on. I don't know if it's for sure, so I won't tell you. I don't want to scare the shorts outta you." Red chuckled. "Shut up." I said.

We finally landed in Cerulean City. "Okay, ready to learn the greatest lesson of your life?" Red hopped off of Charizard. "Go for it." I blankly shuttered.

"Okay, call out Squirtle." Red snapped his fingers. "Why not." I stepped forward. I threw my Pokèball, but then Red dove in and caught it. "Hey, what was that for?" I snapped.

"Is that seriously how you throw your pokèball?" Red trashed the Poker Face at me. "Why does it matter?" I groaned. "Listen kid, do you want to get better?" Red persuaded me.

"Fine. Teach me your ways, master." I sarcastically bowed to him. "You're real cute." Red laughs. "Kay. First get into standing positon. Get your feet shoulder length." Red shook his head.

"Okay.." I watched my feet as I adjusted into position. "Now hold the ball as so. Four fingers on top of the ball, and your thumb wraps around the front. I've noticed you put your thumbs on your index and middle finger." Red points.

"Why on earth does that matter?" I rolled my eyes.

"Now lunge forward, pull back your arm, and throw the ball like a catapult." Red re did movements. I nodded and did the best I could. It just curved. "I've never thrown even worse..." I narrowed my eyebrows.

"Because you're doing it wrong." Red said. "How is this going to help?" I sighed. "If you want your Pokèmon to respect you, at least toss them out of their ball in a fashionably order." Red continues. "Here let me help." Red walked towards me. I was in the same position as he wanted me to be. "Go back," He put one arm around my waist. "Then pull your arm like this." He held on to my arm and helped me control the way I threw the ball. Perfect, it went in such a controlled order, Squirtle jumped out so elegantly.

"Wow, I didn't know the way one throws could be so effective..." I said under my breath. "Now, call out your Clefairy." Red commanded. I did the same thing he just taught me, and Clefairy couldn't look so happier. "At least your Clefairy looks like it's in good shape." Red kneeled down too it. "I can tell your Clefairy knows water gun, fire blast, and body slam." Red examined it. "Not bad." He smiled too me. He must know a lot. I'm slightly impressed, but not enough. Red reached through the depths of his pocket. "Here is TM024. Thunderbolt." He handed me the chip. "Teach it to Clefairy." Red cocks his head in Clefairy's direction. I nodded . "Clefairy, learn this." I said. "Clefairy!" Clefairy cheered. "Now, here are some glass empty milk jugs." Red set them onto 10 logs like I did earlier. "Do it Hilda." Red points.

"Okay, Clefairy. Thunderbolt em'!" I commanded. "Clefairy!" Knocked down only 7/10 in less than 20 seconds. "Hmmm..." Red scratched his chin. "What's wrong?" I asked.

"You're not doing it along with them." Red scolded. "Pretend this is Samurott in Unova. It's your best friend, not just a power cord." Red explained. How does Red even know all that about me already? Does he just know? Or is he just really good at stalking?

"Clefairy! Use Thunderbolt!" I point. As Clefairy was shooting down the glass, I lunged myself forward and pointing everywhere. "Go, Clefairy!" I cheered. I was sweating, I wasn't doing much. I don't know why I felt like I was in battle along with Clefairy. First of all, this isn't the battle, and Clefairy is just electricuting glass jars. For some reason, I felt like I was using such a great impact on this. I could see Red was smirking in pride.

After two hours, Red and I were practicing with all my pokemon, making sure none of them were left out on training.

"Now, I'll be Misty. Staryu, come out!" Red threw out his Pokèmon. So he has a Staryu too. After all, he has every Pokèmon around here. "Staryu, blizzard!" Red points.

"Clefairy, body slam!" It effected Starmy. "Recover!" Red commanded it. "Hya!" It's health went all the way up. Damn it. "Being, Misty eh?" I joked. Well, that's the only way I would actually get better. I got his tactic and I think it's a great way for me to get better. I turned to Clefairy.

"Clefairy! Thunderbolt!" I yelled. Wow, it just knocked Staryu right off the charts.

"Great job, White!" Red congratulated me. "Thanks!" I stared at Clefairy. "It was both of us." I smiled. "You remind me of someone." Red laughs. "Who?" I asked. "Now, Starmie." Red ignored my question.

"Bubblebeam!" He shouts. "Squirtle! Tackle attack!" I commanded. "Starmie, tackle back!" Red yelled. I switched out to Pidgey. "Gust!" I pointed. There ALMOST went down Starmie.

"Go for it, Clefairy! Thunderbolt!" I point. Starmie was down to nothing. "Wow, I- I mean, we beat him!" I jumped in excitement. Red smiled again at me. "Great job again, White!" He cheered.

"Thanks!" I laughed.

"Don't get too cocky though." Red trails off.

"Why is that?" I turned to him.

"That was me going Misty on ya. You haven't battled the real me yet. Later, White. See you after your gym battle." and he waves good bye.

"you haven't battled the real me yet" Soared throughout my mind.
