alright?
Chapter
1: The Last Badge
"Typhlosion,
Earthquake!" I yelled.
With
a roar, Typhlosion stomped on the ground hard.
"Arcanine!"
yelled his opponent as the Earthquake hit him. It was too much for the
Fire-type to handle and it fell to the ground.
"Yes!"
I yelled.
Disgruntled,
Blue called back his fainted Arcanine. He placed the Poke Ball back on his
belt. "Man, I guess you're better than I thought. Alright, you earned this." He
reached inside his cloak, pulled something out, and tossed it across the arena
to me.
I
grabbed the Earth Badge with a grin on my face. That was it. I had earned my 16th,
and final, badge.
Blue
smiled. "Your Pokemon are very impressive, Hiro. I wouldn't be surprised if you
became the Pokemon Master. Speaking of which…I believe you can go for that
title now."
My
eyes widened. "Really?"
Blue
nodded. "Yep. You know about the Master, Red, right?"
How
could I not? Red's adventures three years ago were world famous. From what I
heard, he had not lost a single bout ever since he started with his Pikachu.
"Of
course I do," I said in reply to Blue.
"Red
now resides in a mountain by the name of Mt. Silver," said Blue. "Go to
Professor Oak and he'll tell you how to get there."
I
smiled. "All right, then. Let's go for the title, Typhlosion."
"Typhlosion!"
he said with a smile on his face. I raised my arm, clutching a red-and-white
ball. "Typhlosion, return!" I said, and Typhlosion was withdrawn into the Poke
Ball.
I
placed the Poke Ball back on my belt. "By the way-nice match, Blue." I turned
on my heel and walked out of the Viridian Gym.
Once
outside, I pulled out my collapsible bike and set it up. I climbed on and
pedaled south to Pallet Town, my mind set on one goal-getting to Red.
After
a few minutes, I reached Pallet Town. I pedaled past Red's house, and Blue's
house, and finally braked in front of Professor Oak's lab. I got off my bike
and went inside.
Once
Oak had learned that I was now qualified to challenge the Master, he smiled and
nodded. "I knew you had it in you, Hiro. All right, just a minute." He went
over to a phone, picked it up, and dialed a number. After speaking a bit, he
hung up.
"Okay,
the guards at the Reception Gate near Viridian City have left their post. You're
free to head for Mt. Silver."
I
smiled. "Thanks, Professor." I turned on my heel and exited the lab. I got back
on my bike and pedaled north to Viridian City.
Once
at Viridian City, I turned west and headed for the Reception Gate. The guard
standing at the entrance to Mt. Silver blocked me and asked me to show him my
badges. I flashed all sixteen of them at him, and he nodded and said, "You may
pass."
He
stepped aside, and I walked through the door. I headed for Mt. Silver-and the
final battle.
