THE SILVER STAR


"Whoa, check it out! Zack has two pokeballs!"

"I know! How'd he get two pokeballs?"

All the trainers were talking about Zack having two Pokeballs.

"Way to go, Zack!" Keera said, running up to him. "You must have gotten really lucky."

"Heh, yup. I AM the man!" Zack said sarcastically.

"Zackey, honey," Zack's mom had appeared out of nowhere holding a Pokegear and a backpack.

"Awwww, Mom, don't call me that!" Zack said through gritted teeth.

"Why not, ZACKEY?" Keera said, putting her face right up to his.

"Now, you....Why must I suffer like this?" Zack said, exasperated.

"I'm sorry, honey," his mom sniffed, holding back tears. "But here's your stuff."

"Thanks, Mom," Zack said, taking the stuff. "Well, I guess I'll be going now. 'Bye, everyone!"

Zack put on his backpack and stuffed his pokegear into his pocket. Keera did the same when Jared, a friend of Keera's, walked up.

"Hey, Keera, I'm going to Kanto. Wanna come with me?" he asked.

"Uhhh," Keera said, looking at Zack disappearing into the forest and then at Jared's hopeful face back and forth a few time before saying, "I'm sorry, Jared, but no. I want to explore Johto first."

Jared just stood there for a minute before saying, "Okay, if Zack means more to you than I do, I'll just go away." With that toneless and expressionless statement, he walked away.

Keera watched him for a few seconds before turning and running in Zack's direction.

"What was that about?" Zack asked as Keera ran up.

"Oh, Jared wanted to say good luck."

"Cool," Zack replied.

For about two hours they walked, talking and enjoying the sights until a kid no older than Zack came out of the trees.

"Hey, I'm Roxie," she called. "Are either of you a trainer?"

"Yeah," Zack answered, "we both are."

"Right on!" she said. "Come out, Terry." A boy stepped out of the trees also. "Okay," Roxie said, "I'll go against one of you and Terry will battle the other."

"Okay! Now I'll get to test my Pokemon," Keera said excitedly.

"I'll take the boy," Roxie said, looking Zack up and down. Keera got a little angry at this but didn't show it.

"I'll take the girl, then," Terry said, facing Keera.

"I'm Zack, and this is Keera," Zack said, getting ready.

"Okay, Zack, how about two on two?" Roxie asked, holding up two Pokeballs.

"Fine with me," Zack replied.

"Keera, one on one?" Terry asked.

"Fine," she said.

Roxie selected one of the Pokeballs and threw it. "Go, Growlithe!" she yelled.

Zack did the same, yelling, "Go, Teeto!"

"Growllllll..." the Growlithe growled.

"Mon-top!" Teeto yelled.

"Growlithe, Ember!" Roxie shouted. Growlithe shot a small burst of flame at Teeto.

"Teeto," Zack called, "Counter!" Teeto's body started to glow and the flame turned back and hit Growlithe.

"Growlithe!" Roxie yelled, "use Take Down attack, now!"

Growlithe hurled itself toward Teeto at top speed, ready to make contact.

"Teeto! Use Rapid Spin!"

Teeto started spinning until he was a blur, and when Growlithe hit Teeto, it rocketed away. But Teeto still got hurt, and badly.

"No, Growlithe!" Roxie said, running to it. "You put up a good fight, now return," and she put Growlithe back in it's Pokeball.

"Good job, Teeto," Zack said, getting out his pokeball. "Return."
