Ash's Journey's Part 5
As the three were traveling through Route 2 about to make their way into Viridian Forest.
"Do you think Pewter's City Gym Leader is going to be hard?" asked Julie.
"I heard he specializes in Rock type Pokemon," Gary said as the three traveled through Route 2
"That should be an easy match for my Squirtle." Ash said.
"Don't be too sure, it depends on level and the skill and experience of not only the Pokemon, but also the trainer." Julie said.
"She's right Ash, we also need more Pokemon." Gary said.
The three became startled as a little as a Nidoran female jumped out at them.
"I got this one Julie," Julie said happily as she saw the little grass Pokemon, "Go Bulbasaur."
She threw out her pokeball as a flash of white light appeared and Bulbasaur came out.
"Bulbasaur, use your Leach Seed attack."
Bulbasaur obeyed as little seeds came out of Bulbasaurs sprout and landed on the Nidoran.
Nidoran lunged at Bulbasaur and brung his arm out as its nails scratched Bulbasaur.
Bulbasaur regained some of its health thanks to Leach Seed and tackled the Nidoran as Julie commanded.
"Great Job Bulbasaur," Julie said as she threw her Pokeball out to catch the Nidoran.
The pokeball bounced, shook a little, but eventually stopped as Julie caught her first Pokeball.
"Yeahhhh, I caught a Nidoran," Julie cheered as her green hair was blowing through the wind.
Gary and Ash weren't paying attention as they had a battle with trainers.
Gary was facing a little boy who had a Pidgey. The boy had short brown hair with blue shorts and a Light Yellow shirt.
"Pidgey, use your Gust attack," the little boy said as a gust of wind went strait to Pikachu.
As the attack landed, Pikachu was sent in the air crashing on the ground by the powerful attack of the Pidgey.
Gary had little worries which soon went away as Pikachu came back on its feet.
"Thunder Attack," Gary shouted as electric sparks flew out at Pidgey who was sent back at the attack but wasn't finished yet.
Pigey used Sand-Attack as the youngster commanded as large amounts of sand went strait to Pikachu.
Pikachu couldn't see that well but was still able to finish off the Pidgey with another powerful electric shock.
The little boy ran to its Pidgey's aid as Gary stood their congratulating his Pikachu.
Meanwhile, Ash was facing a pretty girl with long blond hair with a white T-shirt and a blue skirt.
She had out an Ekans as Ash has his Rattata.
"Use your quick attack," Ash said as Rattata within seconds jumped forward and Ekans was hurt from the critical hit.
He slithered near the Rattata as he used wrap. He squeezed the Rattata with all its might as Ash could see his Pokemon in pain. It finally let go but the damage had been done as Rattata had little life left.
"Rattata, use your tackle attack," Ash said as the Rattata stared to run and leaped forward head first with its arms stretched as tackled the Ekans and slammed it on the ground. Ekans couldn't get back up and soon was knocked out from the pain as Ash and his Rattata won the battle.
"Great Job, Rattata," as the little Pokemon jumped in it's trainers arms. Ash took out his Pokeball and withdrew Rattata as he saw Julie and Gary.
"Hey Ash, I captured a Nidoran," Julie said happily
"Cool, We better start heading to Pewter City."
As the three continued there traveling, they made it to the entrance of Viridian Forest.
"Their probably going to be a lot of trainers and Pokemon in here, but our Pokemon are injured." Ash said.
"Don't worry about it, I stocked out item supply back in Viridian," Gary said as he handed Julie and Gary a potion each and he used one of his own on his Pikachu.
Now that the three were ready, they made their way into the forest. They were startled as they saw an Eevee run through the forest. As soon as Ash saw it, he quickly chased it with Gary and Julie right behind him. The Eevee came to a sudden stop once he found out that he was being followed. It quickly turned around in a fighting stance.
"I got it," Ash said as he threw his Pokeball out.
"Go Squirtle," Ash said as Squirtle stood a foot or two in front of him and got into his own fighting stance.
"Use your tackle attack, Squirtle." Ash said as Squirtle tackled the Eevee which did little damage.
"The Eevee used his own tackle attack which almost took away half of Squirtle's energy.
"Use your bubble attack, Squirtle," Ash said many bubbles came out of its mouth and went strait to Eevee which did good damage.
Eevee did a quick attack as he attacked Squirtle with its head in a second. Squirtle was knocked out due to the speed and the power of the attack.
Ash withdrew Squirtle and sent out his Rattata.
"Rattata, attack it with your quick attack." Ash said which was not as fast as Eevee but was an effective attack.
Eevee was weak now and missed Rattata horribly.
"Rattata due your tackle attack but try not to knock it out," Ash said hoping to catch the Eevee.
Rattata tackled Eevee with its arms stretched out which left Eevee in critical health.
"Great Job" Ash told Rattata as he threw his pokeball. It shook violently as the Eevee struggled to get out but wasn't strong enough to overcome the pokeball as Ash captured it.
"Yeahhhhhhh," Ash said as he captured the rare Pokemon.
"I can't believe you captured a Pokemon so rare so soon, you did great Ash." Julie said which made Ash blush a little.
"I wonder what it was doing here," Gary said, "There wouldn't be an Eevee in Viridian forest."
"Maybe someone in Pewter will know why," Ash replied.
The three rushed their and the only disturbance they had was when Gary and Julie got in Pokemon battles which they both won with Gary using Charmander and Julie using her Nidoran.
When the three young trainers reached Pewter City, they headed strait to the Pokemon Center with the Julie, Gary, and Ash healed their Pokemon. Ash went to the phone as he called Professor Oak. When he answered, they told him all about the trainer and Pokemon they faced and caught and the people the met including Team Rocket. Once he told him about the Eevee, he became confused just like his grandson.
"Something must be wrong here, a Eevee wouldn't be around in Viridian Forest. I'm going to look in on that, you might want to ask Nurse Joy, Officer Jenny, and other people in the City if they know anything about that. You three should be more careful, Team Rocket is very dangerous, and you should not mess around with them. And they are other groups around just as dangerous." Professor Oak informed them.
The trio became nervous once they heard their were more groups just as bad as Team Rocket.
"I have important news though. There is a new invention out called PokeGear. It allows you to call trainers or anyone else. It also hold a map and allows you to listen to a radio." Professor Oak said
"Where do we get it," Ash asked excitedly.
"Well, you can't get it yet. It is located in New Bark Town, Professor Elm has them."
"Where's the town located." Julie asked enthusiastically.
"I'm sorry to say it is in the Johto League." Professor Oak answered.
"Where's that at?" asked Gary.
"There are different kinds of leagues with different Gym Leaders. Right now, you are competing for the Pokemon League, there are the two other leagues; Orange and Johto. There is a strong chance that there will be more." Professor Oak said.
Ash and Julie became shocked, as they didn't know they're were more leagues. Gary knew this already since he knew a lot about Pokemon thanks to Professor Oak's.
"Also, new Pokemon have been discovered. There has been known to be 100 more Pokemon making the total 251. Oh, and Ash, your Eevee is very special, it can evolve into 5 different types. Oh, and you three might want to catch more Pokemon and train harder for Brock, he's very good. Sorry guys but I have to continue my research, I'll tell everybody you three are doing fine." Professor Oak said.
"Ok, thanks Grandpa," Gary said as they said their good byes and rushed over to Nurse Joy.
"Have you heard anything about an Eevee," Ash asked breathing a little more than normal.
"What?" Nurse Joy asked Confused.
"When we were walking in Viridian Forest, we saw an Eevee running, we chased it, then we battled it after we stopped, and I caught it." Ash said.
"I heard nothing about a Eevee, but it is strange that a Eevee was in the forest. If anyone says anything, I'll tell you," Nurse Joy responded.
"Thanks," Julie said as they left the Pokemon Center.
"Since there aren't any complaints yet, you should be glad that you actually have a Eevee." Gary said.
"Yeah, I guess so." Ash responded.
"Anyway, what about Brock?" Julie asked.
Ash was so taken up about the Eevee situation, he forgot about the Gym Leader.
"Let's Go," Ash said excitedly.
"Hold on," Gary said putting a arm in front of Ash, "Gym Leaders are very hard, their not like regular trainers. Our Pokemon aren't strong enough to defeat Brock. I say that we train and capture new Pokemon until night. Then in the morning, we can face Brock."
"I think that's a good idea, It's getting a little late anyway." Julie agreed.
"Ok, Let's go!" Ash said.
A/N- I hoped you liked this fic, It's a little longer than the other ones. I really would appreciate it if you review the story, and Chapter 6 is coming soon.
Diclaimer- I own nothing about Pokemon, but I do own the story, so if you want to put it somewhere, than just ask.
