Alright, so here's a new chapter. Kai has his first Gym Badge and is head to Cerulean. I am also introducing a new important character.
Enjoy the chapter!
Chapter 5
Kai stood right before the entrance of Mt. Moon. I am on my way to becoming a Pokemon Master. He paused right before going in.
He was later glad he did.
A girl with blond hair burst through the tunnel.
"Out of my way!" She shouted, shoving Kai to the side. She had a small green and brown tortoise-like Pokemon with her. A flock of Zubat and a single Golbat followed her out of the cave. "Turtwig, use Razor Leaf!"
Kai stared in amazement, this Turtwig Pokemon wasn't from Kanto, or Johto for that matter. Kai had studied both regions in a school he went to when he was younger.
"Now Tackle!" The girl's voice shook him back to reality. Turtwig hit the lead Golbat and knocked it to the ground.
The other Zubat hissed in alarm, they turned and flew right back into the mountain.
"Go Greatball!" The girl shouted. She threw a blue and white Pokeball with two red lines on the top.
The Greatball hit Golbat and sucked it in. The girl picked up the ball and put in the holster at her belt. Kai noticed that, with the addition of the Golbat, she had four Pokemon with her.
Finally, she turned and noticed Kai. "Oh, sorry about that. Those Zubat would not stop chasing me."
"It's fine," Kai said. "My name's Kai. What's your's?"
"Cassidy," she replied.
Kai studied this new Pokemon Trainer. She was wearing blue jeans and a light hoodie. She was pretty and seemed nice enough, but the look in her eyes told him that she was not a person he wanted to make angry.
"That Pokemon you have," Kai asked. "I've never seen it before, what is it?"
"Oh. That's Turtwig." Cassidy said. "You see, I'm from the Sinnoh region. I've decided to travel through Kanto and become stronger. Then I will challenge the gyms in Sinnoh."
"Whoa!" Kai exclaimed. "That so cool! I've never been to Sinnoh."
"Turtwig is my Starter Pokemon, it's a Grass Type."
Kai pulled out his Pokedex. "Don't think that I have Pokemon from the Sinnoh region in my Pokedex."
"That's okay," Cassidy said, taking the Pokedex, "I'll update it for you."
"Really!" Kai said. "You can do that? Thank you!"
"Of course," she said simply. Cassidy opened her Pokedex, tapped a few buttons on both Pokedexes, and held then next to each other. After a moment, Kai's Pokedex beeped. Cassidy pushed a few more buttons on it and handed it back to Kai. "Here you go. Your Pokedex should have new data."
"Thanks!" Kai said. He took his Pokedex and looked through the list of new Pokemon.
Turtwig, Chimchar, Piplup, Kai thought, reading the names of the Pokemon. He pointed his newly updated Pokedex at Turtwig.
"Turtwig, the Tiny Leaf Pokemon, Along with Chimchar and Piplup, Turtwig is one of three starter Pokémon of Sinnoh. Photosynthesis occurs across its body under the sun. The shell on its back is actually hardened soil. Additional information upon catching this Pokemon."
"You know what, Kai?" Cassidy asked. "We should have a battle. That way you can see some cool new Pokemon in action."
"Alright," Kai said. "Go Nidoran!"
Nidoran burst from its Pokeball, it let out a small cry and looked at Cassidy.
"You ready Turtwig?" Cassidy asked. Turtwig nodded and went forwards towards Nidoran. "Use Razor Leaf!"
Turtwig ran forwards and swung its head at Nidoran, a dozen sharp spinning leaf blades shot at Nidoran.
"Charge through with Horn Attack!" Kai said. Nidoran ran at Turtwig and the incoming attack. Nidoran swung its head to knock away the Razor Leaf. As the Grass-Type attack was about to hit Nidoran it was knocked away by Kai's Pokemon.
"Tackle!" Cassidy shouted.
Turtwig lunged and struck Nidoran. The Poison-Type Pokemon flew backward and hit the ground.
"Nidoran!" Kai shouted. Nidoran stood up, obviously hurt from the attack. "Nidoran, return."
After Nidoran was tucked away, Cassidy spoke, "What's wrong?" she taunted. "Delcatty got your-"
"Go Charmeleon!" Kai shouted. Charmeleon appeared and roared. Kai thought he saw fear flicker in Cassidy's eyes, but then she smiled.
"Turtwig, return." She said, then she smiled. "Go! Wailmer!"
A large sphere-like whale Pokemon came from Cassidy's Pokeball. It wobbled a little bit then cried out in excitement.
"Use Water Gun!"
A blast of water struck Charmeleon, the Fire Pokemon blew backward and lay on the ground, unmoving.
"No!" Kai said. "Charmeleon, return. Go Butterfree!"
Butterfree flew over to Wailmer and let out a cry.
"Wailmer," Cassidy commanded. "Tackle!"
"Dodge it!" Kai shouted, but it was too late. Wailmer moved surprisingly fast for its large body and struck Butterfree. Butterfree fell to the ground.
"Great job, Wailmer!" Cassidy said. "Now use Rollout!"
"Butterfree get up!" Kai cried. Butterfree struggled to get up but managed to dodge Wailmer's attack.
Alright, thought Kai. Wailmer's stuck in that Rollout attack for a few turns so I know just what to do.
"Butterfree use Poison Powder when Wailmer passes by!" Kai shouted to his Pokemon. Butterfree twirled in acknowledgment.
When Wailmer rolled at Butterfree, the Butterfly Pokemon flipped out of the way and let out a stream of purple powder. The powder landed on Wailmer and the Water-Type squealed in surprise.
"Wailmer!" Cassidy shouted. "Use Water Gun!"
Wailmer shot a pulse of water at Butterfree. It hit Kai's Pokemon and knocked it to the ground where it lay unmoving.
"Butterfree!" Kai shouted, running to his injured Pokemon. He knelt down next to it. He had lost his first battle. "You were great Buterfree. Take a rest." Kai stood up and returned Butterfree to it's Pokeball. Then he turned to Cassidy. "Well, you beat me."
Cassidy shrugged and walked over to Kai. "It was a tough battle."
"I don't know," he replied. "You had me beat in every way."
Cassidy looked at Kai sternly. "There's this saying that I heard once, Most trainers practice until they get it right, but a master practices until they never get it wrong."
Kai nodded. He understood. Cassidy's right, he thought, I need to train harder.
Cassidy suddenly spoke up. "Where are you headed? Cerulean City?"
"As a matter of fact, yes," Kai replied. "Are you going as well?"
"Sort of," she explained. "I'm supposed to be staying with my aunt and uncle in Fushia for a little while. I seemed to have gotten lost.
"Oh, it's easy to get there," Kai said. "Though it is a bit of a walk from here," then he winced. "It's kind of on the other side of the region."
"What! How did I get here!" Cassidy sighed. " I knew I should have gotten that map."
Kai shrugged. "I can take you there if you want. I'll be heading there eventually to take on the gym there."
Cassidy smiled. "Why not?"
The first thing Kai noticed when he stepped into Mt. Moon was how dark it was.
"Charmeleon," Kai said. "Could we get some light?"
Kai had kept his Charmeleon out of its Pokeball in case they need a quick defense. Cassidy had also let one of her Pokemon from the Sinnoh region, Shinx. The tiny feline-like Pokemon was a cute Electric-Type. Kai had never seen it before. Charmeleon cried out in acknowledgment and swung his flaming tail in front of the duo.
Kai and Cassidy continued to walk through the large tunnel pathways. After about twenty minutes of wandering, Kai realized that they were most likely lost.
Cassidy must have come to the same conclusion because she spoke up. "Um… Kai? Do you know where to go?"
"Uh," Kai responded. "Yes? Hold on." He pulled out his Pokedex and opened a map of Kanto. He zoomed in on the Mt. Moon icon and found a map of the cave.
"Okay," Kai said. "We need to go this way." He pointed to the tunnel that went to the left.
Just then a huge rumble took the cavern. An Onix had burrowed its way to the path that the two trainers had been walking through.
"Hurry!" Shouted Cassidy.
Kai took off in the direction that he had said to go, Cassidy following close behind. The Onix, however, hadn't seen them. It followed close behind, clearly trying to get somewhere. Kai looked back and saw that the hulking rock snake Pokemon was gaining ground. He looked ahead and spotted a cut-out in the rock wall. Quickly he grabbed Cassidy's arm and shoved into the cut-out. He jumped in just as Onix roared past. The two rested for a moment, panting, and trying to catch their breath.
"Okay," Kai said. "Let's get out of here."
After about another 15 minutes of walking, Cassidy finally spotted light coming from an entrance way.
"Alright," Kai said. "We're out at last."
They stepped into the light of the outside and could see that the city of Cerulean wasn't that far off. Rows of houses and buildings lined the streets. Several shops and markets were open and people were walking around, going about their daily business.
The two newcomers walked the streets of Cerulean City looked at the busy walkways and shopping centers. Kai glanced down, Chameleon was walking next to him with a happy expression on its face. He looked up just in time to see a young boy, maybe ten or eleven years old, chasing a Vaporeonand nearly run into Charmeleon. The child would have it Kai's Pokemon if his trainers reflexes had not kick in. Kai caught the boy just before he ran into Charmeleon's flaming tail.
"Whoa there," Kai said. "Better watch where you're going."
The boy didn't seem to hear, instead it was staring at the Fire-Type Pokemon. "Charmeleon," the boy whispered. "Cool." He then turned to Kai. "Is this your Pokemon?"
"It is," Kai answered. "I'm Kai and this is my friend Cassidy. What's your name?"
"I'm Elio," the boy responded. "But some people call me 'Sun'."
The Vaporeon that Elio had been playing with came back around. It sniffed Kai then looked at Elio.
Now it was Cassidy's turn to speak. "Is this Vaporeon your partner?"
"No," Elio said with a sigh. "It was my dad's, but then he released him."
Kai could tell that it made Elio sad to think about it, so he decided to change the subject. "So, Elio," he began. "I'm looking for the Pokemon Center, could you point me in the right direction?"
Elio gasped. He looked at Kai and Charmeleon, then at Cassidy and her Shinx. "You guys are Pokemon Trainers," he said at last. "Are you gonna challenge Misty?"
Kai smiled and nodded slowly. "Yes," he said. "Yes, I am."
Alright, so that concludes this chapter of Pokemon: A Kanto Adventure. I've introduced Cassidy from Sinnoh and had a small cameo of a certain to-be-trainer. If you guys know who I am referring to, than let me know in the reviews!
