Just a bit of an explanation for this chapter onwards: when the pokemon
talk, they're talking in their pokemon language, but since Pikachu can
understand it, it's written in English. The humans are just hearing it as
"pika pika" or "suirtle squirt" or whatever. There are some words, like
"Pi" and "Chu" which don't really mean anything, so they're just written in
the pokemon language.
Chapter 2 - The journey begins
The next day Proffessor Oak took me to a room where I saw a Charmander, a Squirtle and a Bulbasuar. They were sitting on a table and they all had pokeballs next to them. Proffessor Oak put me down next to them and placed a pokeball next to me.
'Your new trainers will be here soon,' he said. We waited, and soon three 10-year old boys came through the door.
'We're here, Proffessor Oak!' said one of them.
'There's only three of you,' said Proffessor Oak. 'Where's Kash Ketchum?'
'I don't know,' said one of the boys.
'Well, we can't wait too long for him,' said Proffessor Oak. 'You can each choose your pokemon and Kash can have what's left over. Go on.'
The first boy took Squirtle.
'Where are you taking me?' asked Squirtle.
The second boy took Charmander.
'Finally, I'm going!' said Charmander.
The third boy walked up to me and Bulbasaur.
'I'll take this one,' he said. He picked up... Bulbasaur.
'Chu,' I sighed.
'Goodbye, Pikachu!' said Bulbasaur.
'Alright boys,' said Proffessor Oak. He took out three objects which I recognised as the object Ash had used to find out what moves I had. 'Here are your pokedexes. Good luck!'
The three boys called the pokemon into their pokeballs and then left. Ages later, another boy came running through the door.
'Sorry I'm late Proffessor Oak, but I - ohhhh!' the boy said as he realised the others were gone already.
'Looks like you've got Pikachu,' said Proffessor Oak.
'Oh no,' said the boy. 'I wanted to be different to my brother! Aren't there any others?'
'I'm sorry Kash, but you were late,' said Proffessor Oak. 'I'm afraid you're stuck with Pikachu. But don't worry, you know Ash did very well with his Pikachu.'
'But I wanted to be different,' sighed Kash.
'Now now,' said Proffessor Oak. 'Stop complaining. The other boys have already left, you don't want to get behind already.'
'I know,' said Kash. 'Then I'd be even more like my brother. Ohhhh...'
Proffessor Oak handed Kash a pokedex. Kash put it in his pocket, then picked up the pokeball that was next to me.
'Pikachu,' he said. 'Return to your pokeball!'
'No!' I cried. I jumped out of the way, not wanting to be stuck inside that ball again.
'What's wrong?' Kash asked. 'Come one, get inside. Please?'
'No!' I said firmly.
'Looks like your pikachu doesn't like to get inside its pokeball,' smiled Proffessor Oak.
'Just like my brother's,' Kash sighed. 'Alright, come on Pikachu.'
He held out his hands. I backed away. I didn't want to leave Proffessor Oak.
'Go on Pikachu,' said Proffessor Oak. 'You have to go with Kash. I want you to.'
I sighed. I jumped off the table and walked over to Kash.
'Go on then, Kash,' said Proffessor Oak. 'You need to try and get to Viridian City tonight. And, try and catch some pokemon on the way.'
'I will,' said Kash. 'Come on Pikachu!'
I slowly followed Kash out of the house. We walked up the road that lead through the town.
'Hey Kash!' said a voice. Kash and I turned around. It was Kash's older brother, Ash.
'What?' said Kash. 'Can you make it quick, I've got to beat the others to Viridian City!'
'You got a Pikachu too,' smiled Ash. 'That's great!'
'No it's not,' said Kash. 'I don't want to be like you, you know.'
'You don't want to be a pokemon master?' Ash teased.
'Stop fighting you too,' said a woman, walking up to Ash and Kash.
'But we're brothers,' said Kash. 'We have to fight.'
'And you're my sons, I don't like to see you fight,' said the woman. She turned to Kash. 'Good luck Kash. I know you can do it. Your father did it, and your brother did it.'
'Yeah yeah,' said Kash. 'Look, I really have to go alright. I'll ring you at Viridian City.'
Mrs Ketchum hugged Kash and then Kash started walking again. I followed him, and we started the long walk to Viridian City.
