Chapter 11.
3rd POV
Red slept restlessly the night before, due to Ash's lessons. he kept saying stuff about how you should feel the pain of your partners and make sure you are in sync with them. Red understood and agreed wholeheartedly with Ash, but Red internally wished that Ash would tone down the training. Ash forced Red to train with them, for example, getting hit by attacks like Thundershocks and Embers, running with them to increase his and their stamina, and having the aspiring Champion and his pokemon meditate. It kept going on this way all night.
Red woke up that morning, soundlessly and dragged himself into the bathroom to have a shower. As the Pallet trainer was slipping on his red and white vest, Pikachu wobbled into the bathroom, tiredly and gave Red a questioning look and yawned out,
"What are you doing?"
"I'm getting changed." Answered the cap wearing trainer, like it was the most obvious thing in the world. Red walked out of the bathroom and grabbed his bag and packed all his belongings into it.
"Where are we going today?" The electric type asked.
"Mt. Moon. . ." His trainer said, without looking at Pikachu. He picked up his green back pack slinging it over his shoulder, while Pikachu perched on his shoulder. Red walked down the stairs, into the lobby of the pokemon centre, walking up to the front desk and handed his room key back to Nurse Joy.
"Thank you for the room, Nurse Joy." Red spoke.
Smiling cheerfully, she answered. "No problem, Red and here are you pokemon. Remember, if you have any problems, feel free to ask."
"Thanks Nurse Joy. Have a nice day."
After waving good-bye, the two travellers got to the edge of town, before getting stopped by a man, who looked like a scientist.
"Excuse me, but by chance is your name Red?"
The young trainer nodded sceptically.
"Well, I'm one of Professor Oak's AIDs."
Red relaxed when he heard who it was.
"This is from your mother." He said to the capped trainer, as he handed him a box about the size of shoe box. The AID pushed his glasses up, bidding farewell and left.
Red ripped open the box to find. . . a pair of sneakers and a note. He picked up the note and read it. 'Red, I found these sneakers for you while shopping in Viridian City. And they can help you travel faster, pretty nifty aren't they? Remember I'm rooting for you baby, Mom'. Red chuckled lightly at his mother's antics and inspected the sneakers. They were white all over with red laces and three stripes along the side. The aspiring Champion plopped himself on the ground and quickly exchanged his old sneakers for his new ones. Standing up, he found that they were more comfortable than his previous ones. He put his old ones in the box, then placed them in his back pack, so he could mail it back home to his mother. Sighing, both human and pokemon trudged on into Route 3. They ran into a couple of trainers, but they took them down quickly. The raven-haired trainer searched the area for different pokemon, but only finding Pidgeys, Spearows and Jigglypuffs. Until he spotted a small purple pokemon, with a small horn on it's head and green inside it's ears. Red pulled out his pokedex and scanned the new pokemon.
Nidoran (Male), the Poison Pin pokemon.
Stiffens it's ears to sense danger. The larger it's horn is, the more powerful it's secreted venom is.
Red and Pikachu perked up when the heard 'secreted venom'. The Pallet trainer grabbed a pokeball and threw it. "Go Scyther." The mantis pokemon emerged out of the familiar blue light, while clanging it's scythe-like arms together, growling. "Okay, use Vacuum Wave." Scyther began spinning, creating a tunnel of air, like a whirlwind and sucked Nidoran in, then threw the poison type out, into a rock, smashing it. "Use Fury Cutter." The bug-flying type's scythe-like arms began glowing green and he slashed the poison pin pokemon along the side of his body, while growling in pain. Scyther glowed purple for a split second and groaned in pain. "Scyther, what happened?" Before the mantis could try to answer he got a face of Poison Sting. The bug-flying type glowed purple again and groaned once more. That's when it hit Red like a Beedrill stabbing you with it's pin-like arms. 'Scyther's been poisoned! Of course!' He thought to himself as he ordered the bug type to avoid another round of Poison Sting. "Scyther, try to use Slash!" Scyther's arms glowed white and he slashed the small purple pokemon in the face, slamming Nidoran into the ground. Grabbing an empty pokeball, Red threw it at the unsuspecting poison type The poison pin pokemon got sucked in a red light and the pokeball fell to the ground, whilst still flashing red. After a few seconds of wobbling, the pokeball stopped shaking with a small ding, indicating the capture. Grinning in triumph, Red ran over to Scyther and his newly contained pokeball and slipped his bag off, grabbing a few potions and an antidote. He first treated Scyther as the bug type hissed and growled in pain as he sprayed the antidote and a couple of potions on the wounds, then Red returned him, complimenting Scyther for his good work. He then grabbed the pokeball, that contained his new Nidoran and released him. The aspiring Champion carefully picked up the poison type and placed him in his lap, all the while soothing the small pokemon. The purple pokemon nuzzled into the Pallet trainers chest, while he sprayed the potions on his wounds. After he finished, Red held up the small pokemon and rubbed his head as the trainer fed Nidoran a Oran berry. "Your going to be a great member to the team." Red quietly complimented as Nidoran growled in delight at his new trainer's touch. The poison pin pokemon finally looked up to see Pikachu and Red's face. Nidoran seemed to smile, as he growled kindly at Pikachu. The electric type seemed to go into deep thought for a second then replied with a series of 'Pikas'. Carefully with Nidoran in his arms, Red picked up the pokemon's pokeball and explained the concept of it to the poison pin pokemon. Nidoran agreed with Red and got returned back to his new pokeball. Red clipped it onto his belt and grabbed his bag, slinging it onto his back, Pikachu and Red trudged on to Mt. Moon.
They ran into more trainer with bug or normal types, but Red took them down quick and swiftly, with Charmander, Spearow and his newly captured Nidoran. before they knew it, the two travellers were in front of a pokemon centre and a cave entrance. Sighing in relief, the two walked into the healing centre and handed his tired pokemon to Nurse Joy. As Red sat down in one of the lounge chairs, he was immediately bombarded by a man in fisherman's gear. The fisherman seemed to have an old twinkle of cheeriness in his eyes as he held up a pokeball.
"Why hello, young man." The fisherman started, "I have got a special offer for you. A Magikarp, for the low price of 500 dollars."
Red's eyes seemed to have popped out of his skull. "500 dollars for a pokemon? That's ridiculous!" He exclaimed.
The fisherman seemed unaffected. "Ahh, but this Magikarp is special, yes."
Red didn't seem to be impressed. "How so?" the raven-haired trainer asked.
"This magikarp has a move that other Magikarp can't learn."
Now Red seemed interested. "What move?"
The fisherman grinned happily. "Well, sonny. The move this Magikarp knows is Bounce."
"Bounce?" Red questioned.
"Bounce." the fisherman nodded.
"Are you serious?!"
"Absolutely."
Red grinned in excitement, "I'll take it!"
"That'll be 500 dollars please, sonny."
The capped trainer dug into his wallet and forked over the amount of money and the fisherman handed over the pokeball.
"It's been great, sonny. But a warning. it will take a lot of patience and training to evolve this pokemon and even more when it evolves."
The Pallet trainer waved him in thanks, "Thanks for the advice, but I like challenges." With that the pokemon trainer walked over to the front desk. "Nurse Joy, are my pokemon healed yet?"
The pokemon nurse and her pokemon appeared holding a tray, containing three pokeballs and Pikachu, who was grinning way too happily for Red's comfort. The nurse placed the tray on the desk and gave him her signature cheery smile. "Your pokemon are completely fighting fit. We hope to see you again."
"Eh, thanks, Nurse Joy." Red clipped his three pokeballs back onto his belt along side his new Magikarp's pokeball and Pikachu perched back on Red's shoulder. The Pallet trainer turned to the electric-mouse, "Okay, what happened? Why are you grinning?"
"Oh ahh . . . maybe Nurse Joy accidentally 'left' some ketchup in the cafeteria."
Sighing, the raven-haired trainer rolled his eyes and walked out of the pokemon centre and towards the cave entrance or better known as Mt. Moon. "So this is Mt. Moon" Red stated while adjusting his cap. Pikachu nodded in agreement, while his ears twitched as he heard sounds coming from the cave. Taking a deep breath, Red and Pikachu stepped inside the cave and immediately couldn't see a thing besides the cave's entrance. "Pikachu, can you use your electricity to light up the way, please?"
Pikachu huffed, but grudgingly lit sparks from his cheeks, and continuously they danced down his body. The electricity created about ten metres of light around them.
"Okay, tell me if you spot anything, Pika." The Champion in-training whispered.
Pikachu nodded and started inspecting the cave walls and ceiling. The electric type spotted some Zubats, Geodudes and Parases, but nothing out of the ordinary. The two kept wondering through the rocky cave, fighting only hikers, but Pika's Iron Tail took care of their rock types. They climbed down ladders, but nothing weird. Pokémon and trainer kept travelling along through the cave and climbing down ladders, towards the bottom. They found by a rock the TM46 for the dark type move, Thief. As Red was placing the technical machine in the TM case a bright light shone upon them, blinding the trainer and electric type.
"Hey, what are you doing her? This area is off limits."
Well that's Chapter 11. I Hope you guys liked it.
