"Abra, GOOOO!" Ryan commanded, and instantly the Abra appeared in front of Ryan.

"Then for my pokémon, I choose you, Beedrill!" Karen threw a pokéball to the ground, and out popped the flying bee. "Use Twinneedle and faint that Abra!" Beedrill did as she said as he flew at top speed, placing the stingers in front and spinning to be even faster, at the little pokémon that looked like it was sleeping.

"Abra, use teleport now!!" Abra disappeared in a flash of light. It was too late for Beedrill to stop, but that didn't mean it was too late for a tree to stop Beedrill. The bee's stingers crashed right into the tree with Beedrill stiff as wood. It looked like Beedrill was an arrow that somebody had shot and gotten to target. It struggled, but could not escape.

"Abra use. Abra, where are you?" Ryan asked.

"I am right in front of you. I am invisible"

"Invisible? You can't there is no such thing, and you only know Teleport." Ryan said. To Karen, he looked like he was talking to himself."Strange kid" she thought.

"But you are forgetting something. I am a genetically altered Abra.The scientists in the lab gave me 2 new moves and the ability to learn attacks at a younger level."

"Where's your Abra? We have a battle to finish."By this time, the Beedrill had gotten loose from the tree.

"OK. Abra, use Hypnosis." And indeed waves of hypnosis rays were coming from out of nowhere. The Beedrill started to lower and waver a little.

"Hypnosis? Hahahahaha. Abras don't le" Karen said. Karen was cut short due to her pokémon's sudden nap. "Ohhhhhhh." She fumed."Beedrill, return! You're lucky I don't have an awakening with me. Gooooooo Caterpie!" She threw her pokéball out as a small, green caterpillar materialized out of no where. "Cat caterpie cater piiiiie," it said.

"My new pidgey should take out this worm," Ryan thought. "Abra return. Pidgey, lets gooooo! Use Gust!" During the pokéball's mid-flight, Pidgey zapped out of the pokéball and started to flap its wings rapidly, creating a small but wicked tornado. The Caterpie could not dodge the bird's attack and got tossed around harshly.

"Caterpie, use string shot!" Caterpie shot off the sticky substance at every direction confused, and some of the string shot got into Ryan's face.

"Eeeuphhgghyyeyllb!!!!" Ryan smothered. As soon as he got some of the stuff off his mouth, he said " Use Quick Attack". Pidgey started bashing and pecking fiercely at Caterpie.

"Nooooo. Caterpie Return." Caterpie was zapped into the pokéball. Karen paid Ryan ¥250 and said "You are gonna pay for damaging my pokémon."

"Oh, don't be such a sore loser" Ryan snorted. As they were about to go their separate ways, they heard a faint but shrill cry; it sounded like a pokémon. Ryan and Karen started to follow after the voice, which led them to a small meadow behind a bush. There were about 25 Fearows and Ratattas attacking a small, orange lizard-like creature. Ryan aimed his pokéwatch at the pokémon being attacked. A hologram of the creature appeared in mid-air.

"Charmander: A fire pokémon: It is said that if the flame on its tail ever goes out, it will die."

Ryan looked at the Charmander's tail. The flame on its tail was slowly dimming.

"I have to save him." He stated, starting to rise up, but Karen pulled him back down.

"If you go out there, those Fearow and Ratatta will start attacking you. You can get hurt really bad idiot."

"I don't care, I'm going to save it." Ryan pulled away from the girl's grip and ran into the clearing."Hey you Pokémon, leave that Charmander alone."

Only two Fearows actually heard him and started to fly toward Ryan. One Fearow used its beak to open up a long cut on Ryan's shoulder, starting a serious bleed. "Shoot!" he cursed.

The other Fearow started to try the same thing to his face, but Ryan jumped out of the way just in time. "Gooooo Pidgey. Use Sand attack and Gust now!" The bird did as was told and sprayed sand into the group of attacking pokémon, getting into their eyes. They could not see where they were going, and soon Fearows started to battle Fearows and Ratattas with Ratattas. Before the pokémon started to retreat back into the grass, he threw two pokéballs, one for a Fearow and one for a Ratatta. Soon they were caught.

"Is it safe to come out now?" Karen asked, coming out of the bushes.

"Yeah. Pidgey, Return!" Ryan started to advance toward the injured Charmander. The flame on its tail was barely lit, and had been nearly beaten unconscious. Ryan scooped it up in his arms, and started running through Route 1, the road toward Viridian City and hopefully the Viridian City Pokémon Center before it was too late. Karen followed behind." Keep its tail lit while I'm running or its tail will go out." The girl nodded and started tending to the weak flame. On the path, they came across a pokémon trainer who wanted a pokémon battle.

"Hey kid, I'll battle you." They asked, but the two kids and a Charmander ran right pass him. " OKI'll battle you laterthen."

Every minute was critical, but they were slowing down. Ryan was starting to feel shoulder pains from carrying the Charmander and felt like he was going to drop it. Karen was about to stumble to the ground from running all day. But after a few more minutes, they started to see a tall building rising from the trees. It was a part of Viridian City!

"Hang on Charmander, we're almost there." Ryan encouraged. But it seemed that the Charmander would not make it.

Soon, they departed the small field of Route 1 and entered the small courtyard of Viridian City.They looked for the Pokémon Center, but there was none in sight. So they stopped someone on the street to ask for directions.

"Excuse me sir, but do you know where the Pokémon Center is?"

"Go down that street two blocks." The man said.

"Thanks" the two kids said, and ran off. The street was crowded with people and shops. They pushed through the people on the street with growing fear of Charmander passing away if they weren't quick enough. "Out of the way people. Injured pokémon coming through."

After the two blocks, the turned left at a corner. Standing there, partially being rebuilt, was the huge Viridian City Pokémon Center.
