I'm on Route 1 at the moment, travelling on ground again is nice change compared to being on the water.
"Wow... there is Rattata everywhere.." You know your a novice at catching Pokemon when Rattata are to fast to catch for you. Well I didn't really want one anyways...
"So this where those Pallet Town kids start their journey, there sure is a lot of Pokemon around here, no wonder they become great Trainers." Traft looked up at the sun and wiped the sweat from is forehead.
"It is just too hot today." As he finished wiping the sweat a male teenager roughly the same age as Traft showed up behind him out of nowhere. He was wearing a black trench coat and has black long hair.
"You got that right."
"What the hell!"
"What's wrong kid?" Wait, did this guy just call me a kid? He looks no older then me!
"Nothing... you just startled me." Whats with this guys outfit, whats with the black trench coat. No wonder he's so hot.
"Hey kid what's your name?" Who just asks for someones name like that?
"What? Why are you asking me that?" He just shrugged, and Traft sighed.
"My names Traft."
"Traft huh? What an odd name." Odd name!? Well... well you dress odd..
As Traft was imagining insulting him he put his hands in his pocket and began to walk down the dirt road.
"Wait." He stopped but didn't turn around. "Aren't you supposed to tell me yours if you ask for mine."
"Huh?"
"Your name."
"Ohhh right." He began to walk away again. Well... this is really frustrating.. well I do have an idea.
"I'd only really expect poor manners from a kid." He stopped and turned around. Wow didn't notice how pale he is.
"I'm no kid." He said really fast.
"Huh? What are you talking about?" Oh how I love giving people a taste of their own medicine. I should have barged into Dermin's house and bothered him while I was still in Lavender Town.
"What.. but I just said I'm no kid.. are you mentally unstable?" He said calmly. Well that back fired.
"What no! I was just doing what you did to me!"
"Huh?" Traft face palmed.
"Just go, I think trying to deal with you will give me an aneurysm." He began to walk away again until he stopped and turned around.
"Are you a trainer?"
"Yeah.." Traft said holding the bridge of his nose still a bit frustrated.
"We have to have a battle before I leave then."
"Why do you say that?"
"Because we are trainers? How do you think you get better." Wow thats the first thing he said that made sense.
"Alright then you're on but on one condition."
"Before that my names Nitro, now whats your condition." Damn, he probably knew that was my condition..
"Wait... Now you tell me your name?" And he called my name odd...
"Huh? What are you talking about?" Of course this again.. Nitro pulled out 2 Pokeballs. "How about a 2 on 2 match."
"Sounds good to me."
"Go Gengar."
"A Gangar huh?" Traft pulled out his Pokedex and scanned it, it said: Deep in the night, your shadow cast by a streetlight may suddenly overtake you. It is actually a GENGAR running past you, pretending to be your shadow.
"You have a Pokedex huh?"
"Go Tauros!"
"Interesting choice.."
"Ready to battle Tauros." Tauros rolled his eyes and shrugged as to say, I guess so.
"Hypnosis." Nirto said casually.
"Dodge and use Giga Impact." Tauros dodged and went in for a head on Giga Impact. Nitro just smirked. "Here we go!" Tauros went right through Gengar.
"That was a very bad mistake."
"Why? What happened we made a direct hit!"
"Ghost types are unaffected by normal moves and vise versa. And now your Tauros can't move due to Giga Impact."
"Damn..."
"Hypnosis." It hit and Tauros fell asleep.
"Wow this is the first time Tauros fell asleep to a move in battle, wait no time for jokes. Tauros wake up!"
"Dream Eater." After that Tauros fainted.
"What just happened..." Traft shook his head and returned Tauros. "Sorry Tauros I should have known better." Ok what to choose now... wait when I check the Pokedex it did say that Gengar was not only a Ghost type but he was also a Poison type.
"Choose your next Pokemon."
"Go! Sandshrew!" Traft said as he threw that ball into the battle field.
"Ah better choice than last time, but don't think I'll let you use a ground type on my Gengar."
"What do you mean?"
"Return." Right... he still has another Pokemon... "Carracosta lets go."
"Whats a Carracosta?" Traft pulled out his Pokedex to scan it but it couldn't read it. "What going on here." Then Traft remembered that Professor Oak gave him a new one and he pulled out that. He scanned it again and it said: It could knock out a foe with a slap from one of its developed front appendages and chew it up, shell or bones and all. Traft gulped.
"Carracosta use Rollout!"
"Counter it with a Rollout as well Sanshrew!" They both connected and were at even strength.
"Wait that doesn't make sense! Your small Sandshrew should not be strong enough, harder Carracosta!"
"You push harder as well Sandshrew!" They both pushed and pushed until Carracosta ended up coming on top with Sandshrew exhausted and was about to faint.
"Aqua tail."
"Hey wait a second, you already won."
"Your Sandshrew didn't faint yet what are you talking about." Carracosta was about to attack Sandshrew until one of Traft's Pokemon released itself on it's own will, it was Gyarados. Gyarados roared right at Nirto and Carracosta.
"Karp..." Nitro smiled and returned Carracosta.
"Didn't know you were holding back such a powerhouse, and such a loyal Pokemon." Nitro turned around and began to walk away. Traft looked right up at Gyarados and smiled as he brought Sandshrew and it back into their Pokeballs.
"Well that was a strange person, and what a name... Nitro." Traft sat down and brought out a snack he got from Professor Oak. "I have so much more to learn it seems... how do I expect to even make it to the Indigo League at this rate." Nirto was right when he said battles make you stronger.
I wonder what region that Carracosta comes from, he looked strong thats for sure. I have to become stronger so trainers like him wont get in my way, I have to make it to the Indigo League."
I've made to Viridian City... well thats what I would be saying if I didn't fall into this damned hole! Like who does this, there was just some leaves and twigs placed on top of it. I've tried to climb out but it's hopeless. Traft looked up at the sky.
"Man this is a waste of time." Traft sat down and thought for a minute. "Oh, I have an idea." Traft took out a Pokeball and threw outside of the hole.
"Alright Karp I need you to get me out of this." Gyarados went partially down in the hole so Traft could climb up the ridges on his back. "Thanks a lot, return." Traft began walking down Route one again.
That hole was defiantly man made, I wonder for. Anyways I'm real close to Viridian City now, I was told that the Gym there used to be a ground type Gym but has recently changed. Something about a new leader, I wonder how that works. If you think about it wouldn't the new leader still be using Ground types anyways why change up the Gym completely. Traft stopped as he saw a open space pass some trees.
"Oh wow, that area looks great for some training." Traft ran down there. "Alright lets go guys." Traft said as he threw his Pokeballs in the air. They all came out eager and ready, except for Tauros who found a nice shady spot to lay down.
"Come on Tauros don't you wanna train?" Tauros responded with a snore, he was already asleep. Traft sighed. "Alright you all ready for some training." They all nodded.
"Ok lets start with..." Traft stopped mid sentence as a wild Mankey appeared just walking by. "Oh who's that Pokemon." Traft pulled out his Pokedex and scanned it and it said: Light and agile on its feet, and ferocious in temperament. When angered, it flies into an uncontrollable frenzy.
"So it's a Mankey huh? I wouldn't mind catching one of those." Traft returned Gyarados and Sandshrew and let Tauros nap. "Alright Ekans we have been training for a bit lately why don't we test out what you've learned." Ekans nodded in excitement.
"Alright lets start off with your new move, Poison sting!" Ekans shot some at Mankey. "Right on good hit!" Mankey looked right at them and it's face got all red with anger and started to jump up and down.
"Use leer!" Mankey let it hit and kept going straight at Ekans with a low kick. "Slip out of the way!" Ekans used it's flexible body and went right around Mankey.
"Wow, you really have gotten better, and in such short time! Use wrap!" Ekans wrapped it's body around Mankey and held tight. With that Mankey became more angered and kept trying to get out.
"Alright you're doing good keep a hold on it!" Traft pulled out a Pokeball and threw it at Mankey. It hit Mankey but nothing happened.
"Wait what? Was the ball broken? No... you're an other trainers Pokemon!?" Right as Traft said that a trainer came running.
"Mankey! Where did you go this time!" It was a girl roughly the age of 10. She ran up and saw Traft battling Manky. "What are you doing to my Mankey!" Traft put his hands up in defence.
"Whoa, wait a sec, I thought it was wild!" Ekans let go of wrap, Mankey Scratched Traft on the face. "Ow what the hell!"
"You deserve it." Traft looked at her as he rubbed his face in pain.
"Well then didn't expect this happening today..."
"What's that?" The little girl asked.
"Nothing, sorry for what happened. See yeah." Traft walked away.
Damn... I was really set on catching that Mankey, but I can't do anything about it belonging to someone else. Traft heard a scream coming from behind him.
"What the!?" Traft turned around and ran to where it came from.
"Help! Help! I fell down this hole." Traft ran up to it to see that girl stuck down in the hole.
"You alright!"
"Yeah, I guess so."
"Need some help?"
"What do you think?"
"You know, you're quite rude for your age."
"I'm sorry please help me."
"No Problem." Traft sent out Gyarados, she screamed in fear.
"Ahhh!"
"Don't worry, Karp wont hurt a fly trust me." She gulped and nodded as Gyarados went down so she could climb on it's back. When she got out she smiled at Gyarados. "See what did I tell ya."
"You were right. I'm Kayla by the way."
"My names Traft." Out of nowhere a man came out of the bushes wearing a black outfit with a big red R in the front.
"Enough of this! You can't just go around savin people kid."
"Now I hope you realize that logic makes little to no sense." Theres a R on his shirt just like the one on those files...
"You're interfering with Team Rocket her Pokemon and yours are now ours."
"Your not all the smart are you?"
"Huh?"
"Who goes around digging holes everywhere if it's just going to come to this." Traft said as he pointed a Pokeball at him with Gyarados right behind him.
"Shut up kid!" He pulled two Pokeballs and let out a Raticate and a Fearow.
"Go Sandshrew lend us a hand!" The Rocket guy pointed at Traft and his Pokemon just started moving like they didn't need commands.
"Karp use Dragon rage and Sandshrew use Rollout!" The Fearow got hit but Raticate just kept dodging Sandshrews Rollout. Sandshrew got frustrated and started to dig under the ground.
"Whoa whoa, what going on? Did Sandshrew just learn dig!?" Sandshrew came up and hit Raticate, it fainted. With that the Rocket grunt quickly returned his Pokemon and ran off fast.
"Wow that was amazing!" Kayla said.
"No he just wasn't all that good." Kayla looked down.
"Your Pokemon seem to listen to you.. my Mankey doesn't listen to me.. Could you raise him for me?" Traft smiled and got to eye level and put his hand on her head.
"No."
"Huh?"
"You just started, don't give up on Mankey just yet, you'll both become good friends in time." She nodded as Traft got up and left waving.
"I wont give up." Traft just smiled as he left.
