This is a fanfic I started back in 1999. I've since stopped writing it, so
it's unfinished. Some day I may get around to finishing it, but I can't
promise anything. Even so, it's an interesting read, and I'd love you to
read it. ^_^ Any comments (good, bad, somewhere in between?) are welcomed!
Chapter 1 - Caught by a trainer
I was walking through the forest. My parents had finally let me go out by myself and it was a lot of fun to explore the areas around my home. I had been walking for a long time when I suddenly realised I was lost. I looked around, scared. I'd never been lost before, because I'd always been everywhere with my parents. Now, not only was I lost, but I couldn't see anyone who I could ask for help. And it was starting to get dark. Suddenly I felt a drop of water on my nose. I looked up, and realised it was starting to rain. Not knowing what to do, I hid behind a tree and sat down. Shivering from the cold, I forced myself to lie down and try to go to sleep.

'Pokeball! Go!'
The loud voice woke me up. I looked up and saw a pokeball coming right at me. I jumped up and ran.
'Wait! Come back!' called a voice.
'Well, don't just stand there,' said another voice. 'Come on!'
I heard footsteps running behind me. I tried to run faster but it was no good. The two people were catching up.
'Pidgeotto! I choose you!' said the second voice. 'Go, Pidgeotto! Gust attack!'
I felt a gust of wind approaching me. It hit me hard. I yelped, and turned around. I saw a pidgeotto in front of me.
'Pidgeooo!' it said. 'Pidg! Pidgeotto! Pidgeow!'
I understood this. To me, the pidgeotto was saying "My masters are going to catch you!". I didn't understand what it meant. I had never heard of "masters", and I was confused.
'What do you mean?' I asked. The pidgeotto didn't respond.
'Pidgeotto! Wing attack!'
'Pidgeooooo!' shouted Pidgeotto, hitting me with its wings.
'Stop it!' I growled. 'What are you doing?'
'Pidgeotto! Peck!'
Pidgeotto rushed at me and pecked me right in the face. I squealed, then fell to the ground weakly.
'Pidgeotto return! Pokeball! Go!'
I looked up just as the pokeball reached me. It hit me on the head, and suddenly I found myself in a small, warm place. I was scared and wanted to get out, so I shoock the walls around me. But it was no use. I was trapped.
'Yes!' said a voice from outside my enclosed space. I felt myself being picked up. 'I got it! Come on, let's go!'

I was suddenly aware of being thrown to the ground. I looked around me. I was outside again. I looked behind me and saw the pokeball which I had been trapped inside.
'So what moves does it know?' said a voice. I looked up and saw three people looking down at me. One of them, a teenage boy, pulled out something from his pocket. It was a red, oddly-shaped thing. he pointed it at me.
'Pikachu's moves,' it said. 'Pikachu has no moves.'
'What!?' the teenage boy exclaimed. 'How can it have no moves?'
An old man put his hand on the boy's shoulder.
'It is only young,' he said. 'It hasn't learnt any yet.'
'So how is it going to learn any moves?' the boy asked.
'Before I give it to its trainer, I'm going to teach it some,' said the old man.
'Like what!?' the boy exclaimed. 'You never taught my pikachu any moves.'
'Your pikachu already knew some,' said the old man. 'This pikachu doesn't know any moves. So I'm going to have to teach it some.'
'Oh alright,' said the boy. 'I'll leave you to it, then.'
'Bye Ash,' said the old man. 'And thanks for catching it for me.' The boy and his companion, a teenage girl, left.
'So, little Pikachu,' said the old man. 'Are you ready to learn some moves?'
'Pi?' I said.
("Huh?")
'You're obviously confused,' said the old man. 'My name is Proffessor Oak, and I study pokemon such as yourself. Now, I'm going to teach you a move called thundershock.'
Proffessor Oak took out a small device and put it on my head. I tried to pull it off.
'Don't fidget,' said Proffessor Oak. 'This is a TM, a technical machine. It teaches you moves.'
He pressed a button on the device. I started hearing strange noises and seeing strange visions. But I wasn't scared, I was fascinated. I watched and listened for a few moments, and then it all disappeared, and I was back with Proffessor Oak.
'Now,' he said. 'Pikachu, use thundershock!'
I didn't know how or why, but somehow I knew what I was doing.
'Pikachu!' I said, and I let out electricity. Proffessor Oak yelled as he was electricuted. When I stopped, he fell over.
'Ow,' he said, then he got up. 'It worked, Pikachu! The thundershock TM worked!'
'Pika!' I said.
("Yeah!")
'Good work Pikachu,' saaid Proffessor Oak. 'I think you're ready to go to your trainer!'
