Chapter 2

Kai stepped into the road. He had stopped by his house one last time to say goodbye to his mom and get some supplies. He had a backpack which contained food for him and his Pokemon, a map of Kanto and Johto, and some potions to heal his Pokemon on the road.

He scanned his surroundings, Route 1 was short. He could see the top of a house that most-likely was in Viridian City. He looked up and saw a flock of Spearow flying overhead. Kai walking into the grass to look for wild Pokemon.

He was not disappointed. A Pidgey and a purple Nidoran were facing off in the middle of the patch. Whoa! I didn't know Nidoran were here!

He pulled out his Pokedex and held it up to Nidoran. A voice said, "Nidoran. The Poison Pin Pokemon. Its large ears are always kept upright. If it senses danger, it will attack with a poisonous sting."

"I'm going to catch you. Go! Charmander!" Shouted Kai. The Flame Pokemon appeared in a flash of white energy. "Use Ember on the Nidoran!"

Charmander spun in the air and fire shot from its tail... The fire struck Nidoran in the side, knocking it over.

"Now Scratch the Pidgey!" Kai shouted. Charmander leaped into the air claws ready to strike.

The Pidgey was faster.

The bird Pokemon dove towards Charmander and slammed its beak into its chest. Charmander flew backward and fell to the ground.

"Charmander!" shouted Kai, rushing over to this fall Pokemon. "Are you okay?"

"Charmander. Char!" cried Kai's Pokemon. He wanted to finish the battle.

The Pidgey had flown away, but the Nidoran was still there, and angry.

Charmander got up and growled at the Poison Pin Pokemon.

The Nidoran looked weary, it took a step forward to fight, then collapsed.

"Go Pokeball!" Kai shouted throwing the red and white ball. It collided with Nidoran's back and was sucked into the ball. The ball jiggle once. Twice. It rolled a third time and Nidoran was caught.

"Alright!" Kai said enthusiastically. "I caught Nidoran!"

Kai ran over and scooped up the Pokeball. My first catch! I need to get Charmander and Nidoran to a Pokemon Center fast.

Kai ran through the rest of the route, holding his two Pokeballs. He saw the red top of the Viridian Pokemon Center and pushed open the door. He walked to the front counter where a lady in pink was rifling through some drawers.

"Nurse Joy?" Kai asked.

"Oh, yes, how may I help you?" said the nurse turning to face him.

"My Pokemon are injured, can you help them?"

"Of course I can. Let me see them," Nurse joy took the Pokeballs and said. "Wait here, they will be just fine soon." She turned and walked into a back room.
