Ash's Journeys: Part 3
"Where did you get Pikachu?" asked Julie.
"This morning, I went to Professor Oaks, and he was examining this Pikachu. It wouldn't obey his commands. It got very sick from not eating or sleeping and he wouldn't take the medicine Professor Oak had. As soon as it saw me, he jumped into my arms and I gave him the medicine as he fell asleep. Right before Ash came, he woke up and went inside my pokeball"
Ash became mad, as he wasn't paying attention to the story, he returned Squirtle back to the pokeball.
"That wasn't fair, you used two Pokemon." Ash complained.
"You never said you couldn't" Gary replied with a smirk.
"I didn't know you had two Pokemon" Ash replied sharply.
"Guys, calm down, its just a Pokemon battle." Julie said trying to calm the boys down.
When Ash thought about it, she was right. It was just a battle and he never said that we couldn't use two Pokemon. Next time I'll have to be more careful if I want to become a Pokemon Master.
"I guess your right" Ash said. "Next time, you better watch out, Gary." Ash said which proved he was feeling better.
"We'll see" Gary said.
"Come on, let's go" Julie said excitedly as she ran into Viridian City with the two boys following her. Gary and Ash lost Julie, as there were many people in the city.
"I didn't know it was usually this crowded," Ash said.
"Me neither." Gary said. Ash and Gary didn't take much notice to it as they went to the Pokemon Center to revive and heal their Pokemon.
"With all these people, we could probably have a lot of Pokemon battles," Ash said excitedly.
"I'll be right back, Ash" Gary said, " I'm going to the item shop to stack up on our supplies.
Before Ash could say anything else, Gary was already gone.
As Ash was walking, he saw a group of people surrounding something. Then I went to see what drew everyone's attention, he saw that Julie was battling another boy. The boy was around his age, maybe a couple of months older. He wore blue jeans and a Red Shirt and a black vest. He had spiky black hair and looked American.
He had a strange looking bird Pokemon. He took out his pokedex and it said
Spearow
Type-Normal
It may resemble the mild-manner Pidgey, but Spearow has a much more ferocious temperament. In a contest between the two, Spearow would likely have the upper hand. It Eats Bugs in grassy areas. It has to flap its short wings at high speed to stay airborne.
Bulbasaur might be in trouble, Ash thought.
"Bulbasaur, use your Tackle attack." Julie replied.
Spearow was barely off the ground so it was easy for Bulbasaur to tackle it. Spearow went back a couple of feet but quickly got back up.
"Spearow, Peck," the young trainer replied.
Spearow flew in the air with ease and dove down on Bulbasaur.
Bulbasaur felt the impact as he was tossed back feeling the hard landing when he reached the ground.
This Spearow is very well trained, Ash thought to himself as he watched the battle continue.
Bulbasaur barely got up as Julie could see her grass Pokemon was in critical condition.
"Just give up," the trainer called, "Your Bulbasaur is too injured too continue."
Though Julie knew he was right, she wasn't going to give up on her first battle.
"Come on Bulbasaur, you can still win," Julie said trying to encourage her Bulbasaur.
"If your not going to give a command then I will," said the trainer, "Spearow, Peck"
Spearow dove down with even more speed then the last time.
"Bulbasaur, Move and Tackle," Julie said a couple of seconds before Spearow came flying down.
The Spearow barely missed and Bulbasaur just landed a Tackle. The Spearow went to the ground hard and the trainer stood there in shock as it was a very lucky and unexpected move.
"If your not going to give a command, then I will," Julie said mocking the trainer, " Bulbasaur finish it off with Tackle."
As Spearow finally got back up, he went strait back down from the Bulbasaur's tackle, but this time the Spearow was knocked out.
Julie and Bulbasaur celebrated on their first win as the audience applauded the two trainers and their Pokemon.
As Ash was going to congratulate Julie, 4 people tapped him on his shoulder. The all had R's on their chests.
"Follow us," one of the two men said.
Ash was hesitant but he decided to follow. They brought him to a house all the way ate end of Viridian City.
They knocked on the door, and a man and woman let them in. As Ash came in, they quickly locked the door behind them.
"Who are you," Ash asked with a little fear in his voice.
"We are Team Rocket!" the girl said.
Ash stood there. He knew about how bad Team Rocket really was. It was 6 against 1.
"Why do you want me here." Ash asked.
"First let us introduce are selves," the girl said, "I am Jessie."
"James," the man right behind her replied.
"Butch"
"Cassidy"
"Joseph"
"Maria"
"Now the reason we want you hear is quite simple." Joseph said.
"1 is to steal your Pokemon and anything else you might have." Maria exclaimed.
"Why did you pick me," Ash asked confused.
"In case you haven't noticed it is very crowded out their. This would be a perfect time to steal Pokemon since we sneak into the crown without no one noticing." Jessie said.
"And then we find stupid trainers who don't know who we are, and see if their stupid enough to follow 4 adults that they don't know. If they do know Team Rocket, we bring them by force without trying to make a crowd," said Maria.
"And your are first victim, so give us your Pokemon," James said fiercely.
"You'll have to beat me for them," Ash said, "Go Rattata and Squirtle"
The two Pokemon went out of their Pokeballs to their master's side.
Team Rocket began to get angry.
"We wasted are valuable time for these two jokes of Pokemon." Cassidy said.
This angered Rattata, Squirtle, and Ash.
"At least I capture my Pokemon like a real trainer." Ash said.
There was a knock on the door. The Team Rocket members became cautious.
"Who's there?" Butch said.
"Robert," the mysterious person said.
"Should we answer it," Jessie said.
"Who's Robert," Joseph said.
"Enough of this," Cassidy said, "One boy isn't going to scare Team Rocket."
She walked and opened the door. Quickly three trainers came in.
Ash became shocked as he saw it was Gary, Julie, and the boy with the Spearow. I guess his name was Robert.
"How did you find me," Ash said excitedly.
"Well, when I was done buying the items, I saw that you were following 4 people with R's on their chest. I knew that they were Team Rocket. Once people answered the door, I knew I couldn't take on 4 and more Rocket trainers by myself. So I ha to be quick and get help. I saw Julie standing they're talking to Robert and I told them the situation. Then we hurried here as fast as we can," Gary said.
"By the way, we called Officer Jenny and her squad to take care of you thieves," Julie said.
"WHAT!?" replied the Team Rocket members.
"We have to get out of here fast," Butch said.
"What about the Pokemon, items and the other valuables," Cassidy said.
Once they heard that statement, Joseph, James, and Butch all ran upstairs and came down quickly each carrying three large bags.
The 4 young trainer blocked the doorway.
"Heh, Sorry kids but you left us no choice," Butch said as he threw something that looks just like a marble.
As soon as it touched the ground, gas game out of it and the whole room was full of it within seconds.
The four trainers began to cough heavily as they exited the house. A minute later, the smoke cleared and Team Rocket was gone. Officer Jenny, some other officers and a pack of growlithes appeared right after the smoke was gone.
"They're gone," Julie said depressingly.
"We figured that," Officer Jenny said, "We have been trying to catch these criminals for years. There are so many Rocket members that it is almost impossible to catch them all. Thanks for your help though." Jenny said as the officers and herself began to check the house.
The four exited the scene and went to the entrance of Route 2.
"Where are you guys headed?" Robert asked.
"We're going to go through Viridian Forest to battle trainers and catch new Pokemon. Then we are going to Pewter City to defeat their Gym Leader," Gary said
"So where are you headed, Robert," Julie asked.
"I'm on my way to Celadon City," Robert said, "I'm going to visit my Sister their and then I'm going to continue my Pokemon adventures."
"The next time we will see you is at the Pokemon League." Ash said excitedly.
"Let's make sure we make it there" Julie said as they all agreed.
"By the way, who is Pewter City's Gym Leader? Ash asked curiously.
Robert said, "I think his name is Brock."
