Chapter 10

Brad's revelation in Cerulean City

Brad looked at his I.D. wondering who he really was as he headed north out of Cerulean city. He stopped when he reached the infamous nugget bridge. A bridge that was once run by team rocket. Trainers still take the challenge, but it is no longer mandatory. Brad decided that Butterfree could use some training so he decided to take on the challenge. Brad had Butterfree out and ready to go when he reached the first trainer.

Battle Scene

"Go Ratata" said the Youngster. "Butterfree start off strong with a Tackle attack." Brad commanded. It was a one hit knockout. Trainer # 2 "Go Nidorina" said a young female trainer. "Use Take Down!" She said. "Butterfree dodge and use confusion!" Brad said quickly in retaliation. "Nidorina return! I choose you Nidoqueen! Use Hyper Beam!" she said. "Butterfree dodge! Now use gust!" Nidoqueen quickly fell of the bridge and thus out of the battle. Trainer #3 "Go Machop! Use seismic toss!" the boy said. Butterfree up in the air then use Gust!" Brad commanded. Just like before Butterfree dodged with ease and hit with her attack straight on.

The last two trainers were fairly easy and taken out very quickly with Butterfree alone. "Really this is a challenge for a nugget. Well who am I to complain easy 5000 poke. On top of that I have never seen Butterfree this happy." Brad said to himself as he approached the end of the bridge. What he saw at the end of the bridge though was not all that welcoming.

"You? What are you doing here!" shouted Brad. The man turned, 'Oh crap it's that kid from the Viridian Forest what is he doing here? No matter I'm prepared this time.' "Arcanine, Butterfree it's time for a battle." The man said. Butterfree lets show him how much stronger you've gotten and now go Mankey!" Brad then realized he fell for the same trick twice but now both Pokeballs were missing behind him were the man's two Beedrills, holding Mankey and Bulbasaur's Pokeballs.

A little while earlier at sea cottage. "What in tarnation is taking that boy so long? I hope he's all right." Bill said as he paced around his room. Suddenly a Fearow with a worried expression on its face came in through the window. Bill quickly grabbed the pokeball on his desk and started to follow Fearow.

"Butterfree may have gotten stronger but it can't last forever against my Arcanine!" the man said. "Maybe not alone, at least!" Said two voices. Brad turned around to see Christian and Kyle standing there. "Charmeleon come on out!" Christian said. "Wartortle I choose you!" Kyle said. "I may be wrong but it looks like you fellers are still short one Pokémon." A third voice said. "Go Staryu!" everyone turned to see Bill. "Brad! Let's all attack at once!" Christian said. "Charmeleon use Flame Thrower! Wartortle Ice Beam! Staryu Psychic! Butterfree let's try Silver Wind!" The four trainers shouted. The man quickly ran for the hills realizing he could not win against that power. "Bulbasaur, Mankey, no they're gone." Brad said defeated as he fell to the ground realizing he just lost two strong and reliable Pokémon.

"I reckon I have got some explaining to do. Let's head back to my house first and then we will talk." Bill said. Later at the Seaside cottage. "Eight years ago an old friend of mine was returning home to his wife. He had been on an archeological dig for the past 5 months and stopped by to say hello. A week later I got a call from him saying that he had almost died in the viridian forest. Now I was pretty curious at that story counting on the most dangerous thing in there is a Pikachu. With that man's Golem it would have been no problem. It turns out that the forest had caught on fire. A tree had almost crushed him." Bill said.

"It would have crushed him if it weren't for a cloaked man and his Venasaur. As he left he asked for the man's name so he could properly thank him the man said he has many names but to call him Bradley." Bill said. "So what does this have to do with our friend? Christian asked while looking at the still shocked Brad. "Well after he got out of the area engulfed in flames, the man saw a baby boy playing with a Caterpie. With no one else around the man took the boy in and named him after his rescuer. That boy sits with us today. Brad you're that baby boy. The police have no birth records of you cut well no one knows where you were born. The one who might be able to answer that is your pop. And he left after your baby sister was born four years ago." Bill said

"I mean I get a postcard from him every now and then, but never from the same place. You're pops is onto something big and he thinks it might be able to tell exactly who you are." Bill said. "So now what, we wait for his dad to return?" Christian said. "NO! You keep training don't wait for his dad to come to you. You go and try and find him! Now Brad I want you to take this here Staryu. I will try and track you're missing Pokémon. For the time being you probably need this little fella more than I do though." Bill said with a caring voice.
