Hello, Peeps.

I'm back with another update. School came back on last Tuesday.

Quick warning: Part of this chapter is in 3rd POV. So it's pretty crap when I read it. Also swearing will be said in this chapter too, I'll be adding a notice at the start of each chapter stating if there is swearing in it.

Remember to VOTE ON MY POLL. Check my profile for the choices.

Any who I got nothing else to say so on with the chapter!

I do not own Pokémon. Gamefreak and Nintendo do.

Chapter 10.

3rd POV

Everything was quiet as Forrest called the results of the battle. Red couldn't believe what had just happened. He beat the Pewter City Gym Leader. Red grinned and sprinted onto the battlefield, picking up Pikachu and hugged while crying tears of joy. It seemed unbelievable. Across he field, Brock sighed in defeat and returned his fallen pokemon. The young Gym Leader made his way over to his victorious challenger. The young trainer stopped hugging his electric pokemon and wiped his tears away as he looked up at the older trainer. Brock called over his brother to give Red his prize. Forrest held out a small box that contained a small badge that was a grey-silver colour and resembled a boulder or a rock. It also held a small thin disk that said TM39 on the top of it, where the label part of it was. Brock picked up the two items and handed them to the aspiring Champion.

"For defeating me in battle, I give to you the Boulder Badge." Brock proudly said.

Red smiled in thanks and pinned the Boulder Badge on the inside of his red and white vest.

"And this is a gift from me. Its TM39 Rock Tomb."

The cap wearing trainer looked at the disk, confused. "How does a TM work?" Red questioned.

"Ah. I'll show you."

Brock unclipped a pokeball from his belt and held it up showing him the back of the pokeball, showing him the back of the pokeball. "You place the TM into this slot here and the pokemon will learn the TM. But only if the pokemon can learn the move."

Red nodded in understanding and sighed in happiness.

"I must say, Red. That was one of the best battles I have ever had." The rock type trainer complimented and held his hand out.

The Pallet trainer closed his eyes as if concentrating or meditating. He then re-opened them and shook the Gym Leader's hand. "No problem." He responded.

The three young men and pokemon stood there in the middle of the field awkwardly, before Brock spoke up,

"Do you want some lunch."

Red held a hand to his stomach as it growled when Brock said 'lunch'. Both Pikachu and he sweat dropped. "Yeah, that would be great." Red responded enthusiastically on behalf of himself and his companion.

Brock and Forrest chuckled and led the young Pallet trainer into the house part of the Gym, meanwhile young trainer and pokemon looked upon the house/Gym in awe.

"You guys have got a nice place..." Red complimented with Pikachu nodding in agreement.

The two brothers grinned back at the trainer. After passing many hallways, they finally arrived in the combined kitchen and dining room. Brock walked into the kitchen, Pikachu following him as Forrest led them to the dining rom table.

"Make yourself comfortable." He said.

The two young men sat at the table, making small talk as Brock cooked up some lunch with Pikachu's help. Just as Red and Forrest finished a heated discussion on how a coin always lands on heads(A/N: I swear it always does...), Brock handed the boys their plates and gave Pikachu his special bowl of pokemon nutrition. The Gym Leader placed his plate on the table and yelled into the hallway, a bunch of names.

Red's POV.

Just as I picked up my fork, I heard trampling and shouts from what sounded like little kids, coming from down the hallway. I turned to Pikachu as the shouts got louder and saw him shrug his shoulders and continue slurping away at his ketchup. Finally about seven children emerged from the hallway, the youngest looking to be about three years old and the eldest probably ten, my age, screaming at each other.

"Suzie, stop pushing me!"

"Yeah well, stop calling me slow!"

"That food smells great..."

"I totally beat you in survival mode!"

"Pfft! You wish!"

"Hey its my favourite lunch!"

"Stop crying because the Electabuzz's lost!"

"They should have won!"

"Mmm, it tastes delicious!"

Eventually Brock stood up and bellowed, "Stop arguing! And Salvadore, stop eating the food since your not eating at the table!"

The seven kids quietened down and looked at their shoes, ashamed, "Sorry Brock." They said simultaneously.

Brock turned to me with an apologetic glance, "Red, meet Yolander, Salvadore, Suzie, Timmy, Billy, Tilly, Cindy and Tommy." He introduced while gesturing to each one of his siblings. "Brothers. Sisters. Meet Red, a challenger of mine."

Each sibling smiled shyly and waved. I turned to Brock with a questioning look, "Hey Brock, uhh, where are your parents?"

The young Gym Leader seemed to have gotten a dark look over his face as he answered, "My mother is on a cruise around the world and my father left us to accomplish his 'dream'." He said 'dream' with air quotes and a disgusting tone.

"So I'm guessing you don't like your father?"

Brock and his siblings snorted, "He pretty much abandoned us." He retorted.

I looked down at my lap, thinking of the memories of my dad leaving me and my mother. "Yeah, I know that feeling..." I mumbled to myself.

The rest of lunch was relatively quiet, though I mainly talked to Brock and Forrest about ways to train and treat your pokemon.

"You have to make sure that they get the right nutrition."

"Yes and love too."

Pikachu, from next to me, squeaked in agreement and continued slurping away at his ketchup again. I stood up from the table and turned to Brock. "Thanks for your hospitality Brock, but I have to go to the Pokemon Centre to heal my pokemon."

He smiled and stood up, along side me, "No Problem, I have to go to the Pokemon Centre and meet my beautiful, dear Nurse Joy." He said with a dreaming look on his face.

His siblings sweat dropped and groaned while Yolander cracked one across his face, snapping him from 'happy land'. The older brother yelped and held his cheek while cursing at his younger sister. "What in the name of Mew, Yolander!"

Said sister face - palmed "You were in dream land again."

I nudged Forrest in question, "Does this happen often?"

He grinned, "All the time and it never gets any less entertaining."

After watching them bicker back and forth for a few minutes, Forrest thought it was enough. "Okay you two. Stop with the bickering, we have guests." He said pointing to Pikachu and myself.

The eldest sibling dusted off his cargo pants and announced that we were going to the Pokemon Centre. As we were walking out the door I heard Yolander calling out to us, "Make sure you keep Brock sane around Nurse Joy!" I gave her wink, making her blush.

Brock, Pikachu and I walked into the Pokecentre's front desk, as the pink haired nurse was about to ask us something, the young Gym Leader was on one knee holding her hands, "Oh Nurse Joy, how your smile lights up the world, how your beauty reflects off the moonlight." I sweat dropped along with my electric companion and gave him the go. He leaped into the air and released a Thundershock upon the poor Gym Leader, knocking him out.

I turned to Nurse Joy with an apologetic smile, "Sorry about that, Nurse Joy."

She waved me off, "It's okay, Red. Would you like to heal your pokemon?"

I unclipped Spearow's pokeball and Brock's pokeballs and handed them to the pink haired nurse as Pikachu leaped onto her shoulder, "That would be fantastic." She flashed me a smile and took them to the healing room tailed by her Chancy. I looked down at the shocked and charred Gym Leader in sympathy, he seemed to be regaining his senses. I put a hand on my hips and sighed loudly, "Can we talk about that fossil now?" He seemed to have lighten when I said fossil and at the speed of light, he grabbed my arm and dragged me out of the Pokecentre and towards the Pewter City Museum. He continued dragging me inside and into a seat at the back of the museum and he sat down in the chair across from me.

He pulled the fossil out of what seemed to be out of nowhere and handed it to me. "This fossil is called a Helix Fossil. It is said to of been a prehistoric pokemon called Omanyte."

I glanced down at the fossil in my hands in astonishment, "Are you sying that this fossil is thousands of years old?" I questioned.

The rock type trainer nodded, confirming my question. "Indeed it is. I heard there was a recently opened fossil revival centre on Cinnabar Island."

I nodded in understanding, "So if I go to Cinnabar Island and get this fossil revived, I could use this pokemon?"

"Exactly."

I held the fossil back out to him. "This is your fossil, here."

He furrowed his eye brows, "You don't want it?"

My eyes widened, "...Are you saying you want me have it?"

"Well if you want it, it's yours."

I looked at the fossil and smiled, "Yeah, I wold like that."

Brock grinned, "Well It's yours then."

I smiled down at my new fossil and hopefully a future team member, then I turned my gaze out the window and saw a mountain - cave in the distance, that I assumed was Mt. Moon. In the meanwhile, thinking what else will happen on my journey.

3rd POV

A sound of heels clacking could be heard in the warehouse as a lady walked to her boss' office. She knocked on the door and heard a muffled 'come in'. She opened her boss' door into his office to see him sitting in his leather chair at his desk, stroking a pokemon that seemed to resemble a cat. "Sir, the Scientists need fossils if they are to further their research."

The boss slowly stood up and faced his double agent. "Domino, send some of the grunts to Mt. Moon tho get some."

The now revealed Domino saluted her boss, "At once, Sir." With that the lady walked out of the office, to order the grunts their next mission.

The boss straightened his jacked which had a red 'R' over the pocket and walked over to his window, looking out to the glittering sea. "Persian." The man addressed his pokemon as he ran a hand through his short combed back brown hair. "Kanto won't know what hit them. When Team Rocket emerge and rule, I shall be Kanto's leader. Yes, I shall. I, the Boss of Team Rocket and the strongest trainer, and whoever gets in my way shall feel a world of fucking pain."
