Chapter 29: Bug Catching Contest!
"Let's see where is the gym man how do I get lost twice in a day!" I shouted out as I stopped passing the same building, Alison and Kyle saisd they were going to go to the salon to groom their Pokemon first while I get my badge, but that does not seem like that is going to happen anytime soon.
Just then with all my luck a flying hit me in the head, I screamed out in aggravation as I grabbed it out of my face, "Bug Catching Contest, at the National Goldenrod Park, On Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays, who ever can catch the best Bug Pokemon wins! Prize for 1st place is a Sunstone, 2nd a Everstone, and 3rd is any kind of stone of your choice, Water, Fire, Thunder, and Grass." I hesitated for a second.
"It's Saturday and I'm interested, now where is this park?" I wondered to myself as I just continued to continue up nonrth maybe getting the courage to ask someone for the directions to this park, well it does not seem its in the city and I know it is not south of the city so it must be north of the city! Get deducting skills, Mike!
"Goldenrod Train Station…" I mumbled passing it trying to find this park until I did! I found a park! The building outside of it was huge, three stories tall and very wide this myust be the place where I neeed to go to sign up for this tournament.
I entered the place seeing trainers all over the place just talking around petting one of their Pokemon or just in the line. I entered the line and waited until it was finally my turn.
"Hello! I want to sign up for the Bug Catching Tournemnt! I will be really happy if I can participate! I was just in a tournament and I am a strong trainer! Please…?" I said oh my god how perky do I need to sound sometimes.
"Sure, what's your name?" The person said at the desk we was wearing all green with a green hat I guess he wants to look all grassy.
"Mike."
He started to type on the computer until he stopped and that is when my name appeared on the televeison above him with all the data about me being a trainer. Looking up I saw all the other people whoi were in it, but it did not say their Pokemon…
"And which Pokemon can you use. You may only use one Pokemon."
"Sentret." I said giving him my five other Pokeballs and I got some gray Pokeballs.
"These are park balls, special balls designed to catch bug Pokemon."
"It is actually starting now!" The innkeeper said blowing a whistle it was 1:00 in the afternoon I do not have the energy to do this when I saw all the poeople run iut of the door with their Pokemon behind them thinking about it I should of used Sneasel or Charmeleon! But… gotta run!
Now I was walking in this huge park more like a forest. My Sentret was behinds me as you were equired to keep it out of the Pokeball just incase a bug attacked, "I wonder if Butterfree will be offended if I catch another one." I mumbled to myself as I saw a butterfree sitting on a tree.
"Sentret go! Thudnershock!"
Sentret jumped up and charged electricirty on its body, it let out a cry as electricity was shot in a form of a borm towards the Bug Pokemon who just flew up in response dodging the attack and the branch now destroyed.
"Try another, but thunderbolt this time!"
Sentret let out another boplt of Electricy, which the Butterfree just dodged and this time took a hint and ran away darn it!
"Nice try Sentret, at least you did not get hurt in the process." I mumbled to myself s the two of us continued walking in the forest for any sign of a bug Pokemon, I thens ttoped as I heard of buzzing noise seems like the only pokemon that buzzes, Beedrill!
"Beedrill!" I heard as a bee Pokemon came out ina swarm apparently they did nmot seem so happy with me being here!
"Sentret give them a thunderbolt and let's run!" I shouted.
Sentret charged up more electricity and started to released its electric attack everywhere mostly missing as this did not seem good as it was going to get tired soon! "Sentret come back!" I shouted as the little pokemon returned to me now to run!
I ran as fast as my legs could carry me, just dodging all the twin needs that the Beedrill were sending at me or a poison sting whatever all I know is that it will poison me!
I was at the end of the line now there was a lciff right in front of me ouch this terrain is hard to get around and especially run from beedrill. Only thing I can do, I grabbed most of my my Parkballs and, "Sentret do your biggest attack!"
Sentret charged up its biggest electric attack and shot it, mopst of the Beedrills found a way to dodge it, but I still need to weaken this swarm I grabbed some park balls and just threw thema the Beedrill, "Park balls go!" Two or three hit one of two out of the dozen or so Beedrill and seemed caught! I made a swift run under the ones remaining to grab those park balls.
And by accident I ran off the cliff, "Why does this always happen to me!" I continued to fall as Sentret still was on the cliff and did not seem to jump, but now it did since the Beedrill are continung to chase us.
"Look Sentret it's a Scyther! Thunderbolt!" Sentret let out a thunder bolt now being rtieed from heck as he was using all of his energy for these attacks. Scyther was hit and had no idea it was coming as the mantis pokemon was underd us, at least it can fly!
"Park ball, go!" I shouted throwing the Park ball up, as now I am below the mantis the Park Ball connected with the Mantis and I caught it! Yes!
Zthis is the time when I fall in the river and I did so swimming back to shore. I extended my arm grabbing the gray park ball with Scyther in it, "I caught four Pokemon in this tournament." I mumbled to myself as I heard a whistle I think that means its over, yahoo!
"Congratulations for all the trainers who succeeded at catching a Pokemon." The person at the register said as some trainers just smiled around six or seven, which provably means they got a new Bug Pokemon. Icaught four I cannot believe I caught four!
"Please give me the Park Ball with the Pokemon you want us to examine to see if you won the prize you only get to keep that one Pokemon." Why did I catch four then…no!!
The six or seven trainers gave them the gray park balla dn I gave them Scyther in its park ball, "Whoever caught more go outside and release the Pokemon."
I followed the instructions and went outside with the tree other park balls opening them seeing the Beedrill come out, "Go now! And never try to kill me again!"
"We examined all the Pokemon and in first place is Mike Barling from Cherrgryove." Ah that's me! I never should of told them my dunmb last name. But I won! I won! Yey I won! "He caught a rare and magnificent Scyther, which seems to be must strongsr than it should be on the level it is, it is also a bit bigger and heavier so condratulations Mike here if your sunstone and your great new Scyther." He told the audience as they clapped as I got up and got my Scyther in a Pokeball, not thst weird Park Ball. I also got my six other Pokemon back, I took my seven Pokemon, but Butterfrees seemed to disappear when I got it then I realized it was transported. It was transported since I collected that Pokeball last and put it on my belt.
"Second is Dan Springs from Violet City who caught a Butterfree!" The person continued as the kid named Dan got up and collected his everstone and his Butterfree."
"Third is Matt Groaning who caught a Beedrill from Cherrygrove!" There was another person who left from Cherrygrove except for me, Alison and Rodger? He must not know Professor Elm or something, but I should abttle him sometime…
