Chapter 12
Journey to Mt. Moon
If anybody as a problem with the story the PM or review and I'll see what I can do.
Me and Ash were gathering firewood while our Pikachu were playing in the trees.
"I can't believe how big the group is."
"What do you mean Link?"
"I mean how often do you see a group of 2 trainers?"
"Not to often."
"Three?"
"Haven't even heard of one yet."
"Exactly. I mean I don't mind at all. We have one gym leader, another trainer, and then if we're near water Misty's water pokemon. That helps us with Team Rocket. But think of the pokemon league. We don't have to worry about Brock, or Misty for that matter, but there will be us and Shad to compete against each other. I just wish I knew what would happen. Will Shad leave when he gets more pokemon and realizes this."
"He won't. I least I don't think so. I think this is enough for one night let's go back."
"Anyway where are we going next?" We heard Shad ask Brock.
"Um, let's see. I don't know. It would have to be a vote between you, Link, and Ash. It is your journey."
"Guys we got the firewood for tonight," I called over to them.
"Great, let's get going."
"What? Misty wants to walk?" Ash said to tease the girl.
"I was used to riding my bike but now I don't care."
"Cool."
"Alright let's go."
We walked along the path for an hour before we came to a cross roads. One way went to Cerulean City, but before I could read it Ash yelled out.
"WHAT!"
"What's wro-" I started to say when I saw writing.
On my way to Cerulean City losers. You'll never beat me Link and Ash, you were ALWAYS weaker. -Gary
"We're going to Cerulean!" Ash and I yelled as we dashed down the path to the right.
"Wait don't I- get a vote," Shad said, getting quieter when it was obvious that we weren't coming back.
"Um, there is three of you so your out matched anyway," Brock said.
"Mmmmmm- YOU TWO GET BACK HERE! WE ARE GOING THE OTHER WAY!"
"What's her deal, and honestly, I don't care where we go as long as the end result is participation in the pokemon league."
"I guess that it doesn't actually matter."
"Yeah, let's go."
"There is no way we are letting Gary insult us like that."
"Link, talk some sense into your brother."
"He already has it, plus this city is closer than. . . whatever other city that was."
"Ugh, this is hopeless."
"Guys wait up."
Me, Ash, and Misty stopped as Shad and Brock caught up. When they did we started walking again and a couple minutes later we fell.
"AAAAAHHHHHHHHH!"
"AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"
"To protect the world from devastation."
''To unite all people within our nation."
"To denouce the evils of truth and love."
"To extend our reach to the stars above."
"Jesse."
"James."
"Team Rocket blasting off at the speed of light."
"Surrender now or prepare to fight."
"Meowth, that's right!"
"And those Pikachu are ours," Ryan said as two rubber gloves came down and swiped them."
"Uhh-what!"
"Bye bye."
Before they could get anywhere I burst out of the hole and took out a pokeball.
"WHAT!?"
"What's wrong, surprised that I can jump out of a little hole?"
"Link, it's not so little."
"Whatever, WARTORTLE, GO!"
"GO, ARCANINE!"
"WHAT!?"
"Oh, surprised? Well it was your fault. You want to know how?"
CRASH
"Uh."
"Every time," Ryan grumbled.
"MY CHARM! WHERE'S MY CHARM!"
"STILL ON YOUR HEAD NITWIT!" Ryan yelled slapping Meowth.
"Excuse me sirs, but would you like to buy something.
"Depends. What do you have?"
"I have these," the merchant said pulling out three stones. There was a water stone, a blue stone that looked like there was water in it, a fire stone, a red stone that had what looked like a frozen flame in the center, and a thunder stone, which had a lightning bolt pattern inside.
"What are they?"
"They are special stone that can make certain pokemon evolve. They are especially known for eeveeloutions. The fire stone can evolve pokemon like eevee, growlithe, and vu-"
"I'll buy the fire stone."
"OK"
"So then I used the fire stone and here we are."
"We didn't actually care since we knew about those stones," I said.
"Fine, let's just battle."
"GO, PIKACHU!" me and Ash said.
"What? I thought that he would at least use Wartortle."
Pikachu used a thunder attack but missed the Arcanine. Arcanine used an ember attack and brought my Pikachu down.
"WHAT?! GO, FEAROW!" I said as I went for Pikachu. Before I could, Koffing came crashing into my side. "AHH"
"I don't think so."
"I'll take this," Meowth said pick up Pikachu.
"NO YOU DON"T!" I yelled as I tackled the pokemon.
"How'd he get up so fast?" the other three wondered.
"Have a taste of FURY SWIPES!" Meowth yelled. I dodged and grabbed Pikachu, turning around and kick the cat across the jaw.
"I said no, so I meant no."
"I'll try to remember that next time," Meowth said weakly.
"Ekans, poison sting."
"Whoah," I said trying to dodge, but one hit my shoulder. "AAHHAH!"
"AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"
"FEAROW!"
"Another pokemon down. This is to easy," Ryan said. "Arcanine, sick him."
"ARCANIN-" Arcanine was cut short by a spout of water hitting it to the side.
"Nice job Squirtle, NOW USE SKULL BASH!"
"SQUIRTLE!"
Squirtle hit all three pokemon able to battle, so Ekans, Koffing, and Arcanine, and launched them into their balloon. Arcanine instinctively used ember and made the balloon explode.
"WE'RE BLASTING OFF AGAIN!"
"Urgh. LINK!" Ash yelled as he finally got out of the pitfall trap. My arm swelled a bit but was over all fine.
"Don't worry, that wasn't a poison sting that would poison you enough to go to the hospital, but I'd make sure that you keep that rested for the swelling to go down."
"Thanks, but who are you?"
"My name is Shingo, I came from Vermilion City and was on my way back after beating the gym leader Flint."
"You beat my da- actually I not to suprised," Brock said coming out of the pitfall."
"Would you mind if I join you. I want a couple days to relax and try to beat the gym leader there before setting off again, which is why I'm going back to Vermilian."
"Why not," I said holding my arm."
"Alright, now we have six members of our group," Misty said.
"Why are you keeping tabs on that?" Ash asked.
"I don't know, cause I fell like it."
"Whatever, so let's go."
After a while we came to a cross roads again. Both ways lead to Cerulean, so Misty said to take the fastest way.
"What makes you excited to go there now?"
"Nothing."
"SHINGO!" somebody from the left path called. "I finally, caught up with you. I guess you win though, here." he said hand Shingo 20 dollars.
"Thanks, well I'm headed back to Cerulean. Already beat the gym leader of Pewter City."
"Alright, see you at home."
After he left Shingo explained that they had a fight on which path to take to get there faster, Shingo said to go through Mt. Moon and he said the other way. They made a bet and went separate ways.
"Then let's go though Mt. Moon!" me and Ash cried, running ahead.
