Chapter Nine: Spinarak Kouda! To Cherrygrove We Go!
"Ne, ne...Does she intend to wake up any time soon?"
"I doubt it, dude."
"...Don't call me dude."
"Whatever, dude."
"..."
"She should leave soon. She need to get to Violet if she intends to carry out this plan of hers."
"Agreed. Shall I go get Squirt?"
"Of course."
The two Trainers started their long journey back to Cherrygrove. It was about six in the morning now, and all the Pokemon that resided in the dark were quickly crawling, flying, or running back to their shadowy dens to go back to sleep. All but a single Spinarak, one who was already asleep in a tree, his webbing being the only thing that was stopping him from crashing into the ground below.
The two newbie Trainers did not see the Spinarak, being half asleep themselves and mildly talking about future plans. Thus the current problem...
Haruka was running around in circles, a not sleeping yet not awake Spinarak on her head who was currently wondering what the hell was going on and why it was so breezy. The Spinarak was also getting a bit dizzy, but did not know why. Meanwhile, Tsukasa was mildly chuckling at the scene, not having much energy to laugh any louder at Haruka's expense.
Then he realized something. Tsukasa smirked, a plan starting to form in his mind. He reached for a Pokeball that was in his bag, and pressed the middle button, a red light coming out and hitting Haruka and Spinarak. The two became incased in the red energy, and Haruka stopped running, a content look on her face. Tsukasa sweatdropped, and walked over to the now wide awake Spinarak, who eagerly jumped off the still content teenager and onto the ground below.
Tsukasa pulled out Jet's Pokeball and the tiny crocodile Pokemon appeared, yawning. He looked at Tsukasa, a mild look of annoyance and drowziness on his face. Tsukasa pointed at the spider Pokemon, and Jet grinned before running towards the Spinarak and using Scratch. The spider Pokemon cried out in pain, before an angry looked appeared on its face and it sprayed white goop out of its mouth. Jet jumped up into the air, causing the String Shot to miss its target. Instead, it hit Haruka who was just coming out of her daze. Haruka cried out, and started trying to get the white goop out of her clothes, hair, and off her face.
Jet sent out a blast of water at the green spider, who dodged quickly. Jet then came at the Spinarak, claws glowing in order to use a stronger Scratch. Spinarak sent a String Shot out at the advancing crocodile, and Jet had to try to get all the goop off of him. Then the Spinarak started to gloat, and Tsukasa decided to use this as a chance to capture the spider Pokemon.
He threw the Pokeball at the Spinarak. The Spinarak had apparently predicted this, and used its String Shot to capture the ball and chuck it at a near by tree. Unfortunately for one other unlucky spider Pokemon, a Spinarak started to crawl down the tree to set out more webs and was hit by the Pokeball.
Red light poured out of the orb, and an airy feeling came over the unprepared spider Pokemon as it was transported into the Realm of the Pokeball. Tsukasa stood their dumbfounded, while the Spinarak sweatdropped before it started crawling away, attention obviously diverted away from it. The ball swayed back and forth, before finally letting out a familar 'ping' . Haruka, who had finally gotten all the webs off her, looked over at Tsukasa and noticed his expression. She raised an eyebrow, not knowing what exactly had happened while she was pulling off all the webs. Tsukasa finally came to his senses, and walked over to the still red and white orb. He picked it up, and Jet looked over eagerly while Haruka was stuck wondering what had happened. Tsukasa pressed the button in the middle, and sure as hell, the green spider Pokemon came out of the ball, just as confused as Haruka.
Speaking of Haruka, she walked over to the Spinarak and grabbed a near by stick before starting to poke the poor spider in the backside with a slightly irritated look on her face. Tsukasa opened his backpack and started rumaging through it, trying to find the translator. A few minutes of going through items, he finally found one. This one was a light shade of purple. Tsukasa walked over to Spinarak, pushing Haruka out of the way, who was still poking Spinarak with the stick, and placing the device around its neck. Jet ran over to the Spinarak, a large grin on his crocodile jaws.
"Hiya! Name's Jet! My Trainer is Tsukasa, and he's just a beginner! In fact, you're his--"Jet didn't get to finish his sentance because Tsukasa had firmly clamped his hand around the crocodile's mouth... Which was not that bright of an idea, seeing as after a glare from the crocodile, Tsukasa's hand was in a world of hurt due to Jet's very sharp fangs. Tsukasa cried out, while Jet had a smug little smirk on his face, and haruka was still very confused. The Spinarak raised an eyebrow before introducing himself.
"My name is Kouda. I suppose you are Tsukasa, red-haired Human?" The Spinarak, now known as Kouda, asked. Tsukasa nodded, and Kouda turned to Haruka."What is your name, blue-haired female Human? And why were you poking me with a stick earlier?"
"Uhm...Name's Haruka. Haruka Leaf. And as for why I was poking you with stick, well...I thought you were the Spinarak that had fallen on me and sprayed me with that nasty web stuff." Haruka explained, laughing nervously. Haruka turned to Tsukasa."When the heck did you get a Spinarak?" She asked, crossing her arms.
"A few minutes ago, while you were busy trying to take all that webbing off of you that the other Spinarak had sprayed on you."Tsukasa replied, sticking his hands into his pockets."I think we need to go to Cherrygrove sooner or later, because our Pokemon are bound to collapse sooner or later." Haruka nodded in agreement, and the two newbie Trainers, now with an extra Pokemon, set off for Cherrygrove to go to the Pokmon Center, and the PokeMart to restock.
A good fourty minutes or so later, the two Trainers reached Cherrygrove. Tsukasa and Haruka headed to the Pokemon Center to heal their Pokemon while they went off to restock on the supplies that they were begining to run out of. And to maybe get some breakfast, as well since the last thing they had had to eat were a few Oran Berries, and those were not very filling.
Thirty minutes later, the two newbie Trainers and their five Pokemon companions set off to Violet City, eating taquitos from a local Quik Trip...
:D Kouda's capture is epic. I can just imagine something like that happening to a Trainer and them going "what the fuck? ._.;" xD
