Dusk POV

I woke up in a white room, strange machinery around it. I looked down at myself; I was in a much larger version of Jon's sleeping bag. Covering all of my body except for my head and front paws was a white piece of material. I tried to move it but I felt an extreme pain spreading throughout my body. What on earth is going on? I then became aware of a piece of material, stuffed with what I presume feathers (it felt like feathers). It was incredibly soft. I looked out the window at the side of the room. I saw a long grass field, filled with flowers, trees, and all sorts of plants. On the border I saw multiple homes, all positioned neatly in a straight line.

But what on earth had happened to me. I tried to remember back to my most recent memories, but nothing.

I did remember, however, fighting an Onix for Jon so we could defeat Brock, the Gym Leader. I think I remember the Onix crushing me with his tail, but I couldn't be sure if that happened, or it was something I made up.

Although, I could have been knocked unconscious from the blow and have been taken here, but I'm not quite sure where 'here' is. I would imagine I was in the Pokemon Centre. But the last time I was here, I was just returned inside my Pokeball, and then healed automatically.

If I had been knocked unconscious, does that mean we lost? Brock was allowed to use two Pokemon, so I'm guessing Jon was too. But would he choose Ruby, or Gold? Gold has a type disadvantage, so he probably would have picked Ruby. But she is weaker then Gold, from what I've seen, so Jon might have picked him!

I yelled out for someone, but that just made my head thump. Maybe that wasn't such a good idea.

Although the shouting did give me a headache, it worked. Just moments later, a woman dressed in white came in, followed by Jon and Gold, who was sitting on his shoulder.

"Hey Dusk," Jon said calmly. "Are you okay?"

The nurse answered for me. "You're Eevee is still hurt, but he should be fine to leave with you, if you wish," she interrupted.

"I think I will take him with me now, if that's okay with him," he said looking at me.

"Yep," I said, nodding my head.

Gold jumped off Jon's shoulder, and onto my bed.

"How are you feeling," he asked me.

"Fine," I replied. "Although my head does hurt a bit," I added. "How did I end up here?"

"You were knocked unconscious by the Onix, so Jon took you to this Pokemon Centre after the battle."

That reminded me. "The battle, how did it go?"

"Great, Jon sent Ruby into the battle after you. She climbed up the back of the Onix, and used her Poison Sting right in its face," he said quickly.

"Wait, what? She climbed up the Onix?" I asked.'

"Yeah, it was incredible," he replied vaguely. "But after that, we won, and Jon now has the Boulder Badge," he said.

"Awesome," I said. "But where is Ruby now?" I asked.

"She resting in her Pokeball," Gold replied. "Do you want to see the Badge?" He asked. I nodded.

Gold jumped up onto Jon's shoulder, getting his attention. "Yeah Gold?" he asked. Gold pointed down at a seemingly random spot on his jacket, and then pointed at me. "Oh yeah, thanks for reminding me," he said to Gold. He then took something out of it, and showed it too me.

"This is the Boulder Badge," he said showing what looked like a grey octagon. Actually, it was a grey octagon! That's what I fought for?

"Cool," I said to him.

- - -

After a few moments, we left for the next part of the journey. I wish we could just have some time off, but it doesn't matter that much. I was still sore from the fight, and had trouble standing for a minute before gaining my balance.

Jon released Ruby from her Pokeball as soon as we left the Pokemon Centre. "Hey Dusk, how are you feeling?" she asked me.

"Fine," I replied. "You beat the Onix?"

"Yeah," she replied.

"Cool."

We started walking along a path at the edge of the city, Jon telling us about what was next.

"We are going to Mt. Moon next," he said, pointing at a large mountain in the distance. "Past that is Cerulean City, where we will find the next badge."

Cool, so just beyond that mountain is the badge, waiting for us to come and get it. This would be easier then getting the Boulder Badge, for that we had to travel past Pallet Town, Viridian City, Viridian Forest, and finally Pewter City, where we had to beat Brock for the badge. Actually, now that I think about it, there will most likely be a Gym Leader for Cerulean City too, and one for the rest of them.

Although, I don't know how big Mt. Moon is. It could take a long time to get through it. We might even have to stay there overnight.

I looked at the sun for the first time since I was knocked unconscious. The sun had moved a fair distance by now; it was about mid afternoon, maybe later. Before it wasn't even midday! I must have been out for about 3 hours! Although, that's not too long when you think about it.

"Hey you," a voice called to Jon.

"Yeah," Jon said, noticing a man to the side.

"Do you want a free Pokemon?" he asked. Wow, a free Pokemon, that's a great deal.

"Sure, what's the catch?" Jon responded.

"No catch," the man said seriously. "It's just not my type of Pokemon."

"Fine," Jon responded with hesitation. "I'll have him."

"Great," the man said, casually throwing a pokeball that was attached to his waist. Jon caught the ball and studied it thoughtfully.

"I'll be on my way then," he said to no one in particular.

"Thanks," Jon said gratefully.

"No problem. Oh yeah, he's a water type, so you might want to take him over to that pond there," he said before leaving.

I looked at Jon, he seemed happy that he had got another Pokemon, but he still looked a tad suspicious.

He walked over to the pond a few metres in the distance, and threw the Pokeball at it. "Go Pokemon," he shouted, before the ball exploded in white light.

A fish Pokemon appeared, red in colour.

"Hello," he said in a relatively deep voice. To be honest, it sounded comical, but I restrained myself from laughing. "Who are you?"

"I'm Dusk, this is Ruby, Gold, and Jon, our trainer," I said to him.

"Where is my trainer?" He asked.

"He, um, gave you to Jon," Gold said, probably hoping he wouldn't get too upset about it.

"Oh, okay," he said happily. Didn't he care that his trainer left him?

"Who are you," Ruby asked.

"I'm Magikarp," he said. "Who are you?" he asked.

""I'm Dusk, this is Ruby, Gold, and Jon, our trainer," I repeated. "You said that."

"Oh, did I? Silly me!" he responded, laughing.

"Okay," Jon said. "Let's see what you can do."

- - -

Jon decided to put Gold up against Magikarp. I don't think he would beat Gold, but I may be wrong.

"Go Magikarp, attack him," Jon shouted.

"Okay," Magikarp said, splashing around in the water.

"Attack him," Jon repeated after a moment of waiting.

"Hm, okay," Magikarp said happily, flopping around in the water some more.

I looked over at Gold, who had started laughing. Ruby was also trying to contain herself. What on earth was Magikarp thinking? Was he going to attack Gold while he wasn't concentrating? That would be pretty clever, actually, but I don't think he would do that.

"Um, Magikarp," Jon said to him.

"Yes?" Magikarp asked, smiling at Jon.

"Attack Gold, attack the Pikachu," he said, a trace of annoyance in his voice.

"Okay," Magikarp said happily. He was about to start splashing around, but he noticed me, and came over to where I was standing.

"Who are you?" he asked. Is he serious?

"Magikarp, return," Jon interrupted, returning him to his pokeball before I could respond to him.

By the time we had all stopped laughing, a girl came along, about the same age as Jon.

"Hey, would you like a free Pokemon?" Jon asked her.

"Yes please," she replied.

"Here," Jon said, passing Magikarp's pokeball to her.

"Gee, thank you very much!" she said, before skipping down the road.

"That was surprisingly easy," Jon said to us. "Come on guys, Mt. Moon is just ahead.

"That was awfully strange," Ruby said to Gold and I.

"I know," I responded. "Although you have to admit, that was pretty funny."

"You say that like the laughing didn't give it away," she replied.
