Chapter 10: Another Friend, Another Rival
"When you smashed those two rockets like they were a rock
being kicked, wow, that was amazing from how far they went. It would take
months to find us again." I said to Nidoking. I was interesting in the pokemon,
along with every other pokemon that is out there, I know I am annoying, but you
just have to live with annoying people and someone has to take that spot, and I
am willing too, annoying Mike is my nickname, okay it isn't.
"Uh, thanks, next time I will wack you if you continue to
annoy me." It responded as he bared his teeth growling.
"Why do you talk English, that is just really weird." Kyle
said nervously looking at Alison who was walking beside him.
"As I said, I was just born with it." It responded.
"Fine I will get off the topic." I said even though I did
not want to get off the topic of how a pokemon knew engliush, well I did not
want to be the first flying-ten-year-old who went to the moon by a angered
Nidoking using Iron Tail on me.
"Maybe Nidoking and myself should go and find Eevee, like
split apart."
"How long?" Kyle asked Alison.
"How long it takes for me to find Eevee."
"Please do not leave!" Kyle asked.
"Kyle you can come with us."
"You are not leaving me alone!" Mike shouted. No one likes
the feeling of abandonment, I always was left behind in things, and I did not
want to be left in this.
"Yeah he will lead everyone to insanity." Oh thanks
Alison, thank you, this is not Big Brother where I am alone for who knows how
many days ina house with idiotic
people. I am now insane, yey, annoying and insane!
"Kid, the one with the weird brown hair want to battle?" A
kid asked. He had balck hair, he was wearing a red shirt with a ehite jacket
over it. It had a pokeball logo on the top pocket He wore tan khakis.
"I do not have weird hair and sure, I will battle, and my
name is Mike, yours?" I said.
"The name is Uri, I am one of the three loser trainers
from New Bark Town, the one Professor Elm starts off." Uri responded
sarcastically.
"Mike you are going slow, a town behind." Alison commented
and rolled her eyes.
"How about a um, lets see, a two on two? One on one, lets
make it your choice, Mikey."
"AH! Do not call me that!" I exclaimed, I just hated to be
called that, Mitchell use to call me that, my rival, the one who stole my
pokemon and stuff and tried to throw it down a cliff (See Chapter 2! You should
of known of what happened by now if you are reading this! Amph!) This is
someone I met, I guess it was okay, maybe it was okay, uh. No comment, "Two on
Two, I shall say."
"Right, one three we release our pokemon." Uri put his
hands on one of the pokeballs on his belt, I did with mine. "Three. Two. One!"
Uri shouted. We both threw our pokeballs.
"Go Charmander!" I shouted.
"Beedrill I choose you!" Uri, my opponent shouted. Yes I
got the type advantage, too bad Charmander does not obey me, that may be a
problem.
"Ember now!" Charmander growled as he ran at the Beedrill,
"NO!" I shouted.
"Twineedle now!" Beedrill shout out little needles from
his bottom stinger, its main and most powerful one. Charmander shot a ball of
embers at them, the needles being burnt and no longer existing.
"Now Ember!" Charmander took a deep breath as he released
a stream of fire at Beedrill, this game is over! Caterpie just popped out of
the pokeball as everyone paid attention to it. The pokemon glowed as it evolved
into Metapod, it then immediately returned into its pokeball. Everyone just
raised a brow, uh, now back to the battle!
"Beedrill return!" Uri shouted as he returned his bee
pokemon. Charmander began to glow, oh no not two evolutions in one day! Wait,
yahoo! Charmanders form began to change as it fully evolved into Charmeleon.
"You may have a Charmeleon now, but it is no match
for…Totodile!" Uri shouted releasing his beginning pokemon, "Rain dance now!"
Totodile began to dance around weirdly as the sun was blocked with clouds as
water began to pour down, Charmander let out a shrieking cry as it was starting
to use its HP.
"Flamethrower!" Charmander shot out a ball of fire from
its mouth, it immediately was destroyed by the eater from the rain dance.
"Water gun now!" Totodile released a stream of water, the
rain from the rain dance formed around it making the attack huge into a big
ball of water, it was then shot at Charmeleon, it was successful at
fainting my newly evolved pokemon.
"Poliwag I need you!" I shouted releasing my first
pokemon, Poliwag, the two water pokemon glared at each other when they saw each
other. The water covered them, but they did not mind.
"First pokemon against first pokemon, this will truly show
who was training more, well in the beginning." Alison said and nodded. She was
on the side of the field watching the battle.
"Bubble now!" Poliwag shot a stream of bubbles, dozens and
dozens, but they were kept on being popped by the pelts of rain being shot down
by the rain clouds Totodile called upon.
"Slash now!" Totodile jumped up, its claws extended as
they seemed to shine even more than they did before, the Pokemon slashed
Poliwag with one of its claws then it turned and slashed him with the other, it
landed a few feet to the Poliwags right as it faced it heads back at Poliwag.
My pokemon gave a shrieking cry as it fell on the ground, fainted.
"That was not as fantastic as I thought." Kyle commented.
"I been training shorter than you and I beat you easily."
Uri said and smirked as he began to walk away into the distance.
"You were lucky" I shouted as he walked off into the
distance, he returned Totodile, he rian immediately stopped.
I stood there, being soaked in rain. I returned my fainted
Poliwag as I watdched ihm walking off, I then returned over to my friends who
were ot really in shock, "You are the weakest link…Goodbye!" Alison said and
giggled once she said it.
"That was so not funny." I commented rolling my eyes.
"It fit the part though." She commented as he splaced her
hands on her hips.
"Uri wait up!" I shouted as I ran trying to catch up to
him, I wanted to ask him something. He stopped as he turned over to me, he
placed his hands in his pockets as he made a grin on his face.
"What is it?" He responded.
"Do you want to join us on your journey, well um, maybe
jus tto Azeyla Town, we are kinda of, uh, how can I say this --- lost!"
"I may be your friend, but I am your rival, I am going to
decline." He said as he turned his head baxck towards the road and walked off.
"So you won't mind if I just follow you, I mean you are
going the right way right?"
"Actually, I am also lost, the lost only finds more people
whom are lost."
"That is not true." Alison interrupted, "The rescue teams
find the lost."
"She tries to be a know it all, don't mind her." I said
looking over at her.
"Well we are going to be lost together if you like it or
not, buddy 'ol pal." I said as I placed my hand on his shoulder. He picked up
my hand and threw it off of him.
"I travel solo! S-O-L-O I do not want to be pestered."
"Well you know where you are going, ahuh, I know you do,
so I am going to follow you because I am going where you are going."
"You are so annoying! A-N-N-O-Y-I-N-G-!"
"Did he win a spelling contest or something?" Kyle
whispered into Alisons ear, they both made a little laugh.
"I cannot wait until I capture my fifth pokemon, it is
going to be great, I want a grass type because Kyle took my miracle seed.
(Chapter 8 :D) and I wanted something, but I never see a grass pokemon,
sure I walk in grass, it does not mean I WILL find a grass POKEMON, I think
they like to hide or something, maybe they got something against me because one
time, I was just playing with the grass while my coach at soccor camp, do not
ask why I was there and I yanked out a Oddish from the ground, it was really
weird, it kicked me in the nose, as it broke, so I threw it into a tree, where
it got pissed off, I think it absorbed me or something because when I woke up
it past three days and I had a broke nose, and I was in a hospital bed, it was
really weird and the oddish was not even the same color it was. Well I just
need a grass pokemon, not badly, but it will be nice when I find a pokemon
which is weak against grass." I babbled to Uri, I was trying to get to know
him.
"My Family gave me a Bulbasaur for my birthday after I got
Totodile, end of story." He sighed.
"Wow you parents are nice, my mom did try to get me a Pinsir
or a Dratinin once when we went to Celadon for vacation, but she got into a
gambling problem at the Casino, apparently she had a enough to get it and one
of those cool 'Tm' but she then wasted it all in some games, that is when she
got a gambling problem, it really sucked because I actually pre-ordered by
Dratini when I stole my moms credit card, it was like a lot of money and when
she found out she was really pissed. She usually is, I think she had moodswings
or is just really pissed off because our coffee machine keeps on braking
somehow when this guy fixes it and coffee gets all overf her, and then she has
to buy a knew dress, and wait for a sale, she is the weirdest mother."
"My mom or dad does not have gambling problems, they got
it at a breeding center when they found it there, left by some trainer who had
to leave to become something, which pokemon could not be."
"When I went o Goldenrod, I told you I went there right,
well we went to the breeding center, and I did get a Goldeen that was just there
and had no one to give it too, so I kept it as a goldfish, I actually forgot to
feed it for a month until I relized I kept it in my suitcase, it is a boxy
suitcase which had my bowlof water, I have no idea how it fitted, all I know it
was dead from lack of air and from starvation."
"You're dumb."
"You're tired."
"Leave me alone."
"Go to sleep."
"I will."
"When?"
"When you leave me alone."
"When is that?"
"Soon, when you will hit a tree."
"I don't see a tree."
"Just leave me alone." He said and sighed. I just raised a
brow in response. It was already getting dark.
h
"Wow, I did not know that we became such great friends in
course of this beautiful day. Well we should go and get some sleep, it will be
nice and hopefully you will not go through a mood swing tomorrow or some sort
of problems you are having with relationships and family."
"I am not having a mood swing! And I am not having
problems with my friends and familys, I just cannot believe I am being followed
by a complete idiot!"
"Whos that? Do you have a pet goldfish like me?"
"YOU!"
"I am not a goldfish."
"Just. Shut. Up!" Uri stopped as he threw his bag onto the
ground. I stopped, alonf with Kyle and Alison. We took out our sleeping bags as
we unravled them. We unzipped them and went into them to go to sleep. The End
of the day and todays adventure.
