Chapter 4 - Into the forest
Kash ran through the grass, ignoring the rattatas and pidgeys that kept appearing. I felt myself getting weaker and weaker as we went along. But soon I could see some huge buildings in the distance.
'That must be Viridian City!' said Kash. He ran harder. Soon he reached a huge building, and he ran inside. A girl with pink hair was standing there.
'Oh, look at that poor pikachu,' she said, lifting me out of Kash's arms. 'I'll try and make it better for you.'
'Wait! Kash!' I called. I didn't want this strange girl taking me away.
'Come on Pikachu, it'll be alright,' said the girl, holding me tighter to stop me moving.
'Please make it better,' said Kash. The girl ran off with me in her arms, into a room with a stretcher in it. She put me down on the stretcher and gave me a needle. It hurt at first, but then I started feeling sleepy...

'Your pikachu is just fine,' said the girl, wheeling the stretcher out of the room. I looked around, and saw Kash.
'Kash!' I smiled.
'Pikachu!' said Kash, running over to me. He picked me up. 'Pikachu, I'm so glad you're alright!'
'You should be careful with your pikachu,' said the girl. 'It's only at a very low level, so it shouldn't do too much battling.'
'I have to make Pikachu battle, or else I'll never become a pokemon master!' said Kash.
'You're trying to become a pokemon master too?' the girl asked. 'Three other boys came through here today, all from Pallet Town. They all wanted to be pokemon masters, too.'
'Dary beat me here?' Kash sighed. He looked around. 'It's getting dark, can I stay somewhere in town tonight?'
'You can stay right here,' smiled the girl. 'All pokemon and their trainers are welcome to stay at PokeCentres!'

The next morning, Kash and I left the PokeCentre. Kash took me to a nearby building, called a PokeMart. Inside, he bought some pokeballs. I didn't know why he liked to carry around those horrible things, but I didn't complain. At least he didn't put me inside one!
We walked through the city and soon came to a forest. The forest reminded me of my home. I sighed, remembering what it was like before Ash had caught me.
'What's wrong, Pikachu?' Kash asked.
'I miss being wild,' I said. Although I was beginning to like Kash, I still wished for my old life. Still, that was behind me now. Now I had to help Kash by fighting other pokemon.
We hadn't walked far when we saw a pokemon appeared. I recognised it as a Weedle.
'Hello,' I smiled.
'Who's that?' the weedle asked, looking at Kash.
'That's my master,' I said.
'Pikachu!' called Kash. 'Look out, I'm going to catch it! Pokeball, go!'
I watched as Kash threw a pokeball at the weedle. It hit it on the head, and the weedle was instantly pulled inside it. I watched the pokeball shake, and then stop moving. The light on it went out.
'I caught it!' shouted Kash. 'I caught my first pokemon!'
I looked at the pokeball, and remembered the time that I was caught inside one. I didn't think the weedle would like it very much in there, so I walked over to the pokeball and shook it.
'Pikachu, what are you doing?' Kash asked.
'I'm getting the weedle out,' I said. 'It doesn't like it in there!'
'Stop it, Pikachu,' said Kash, and picked up the pokeball. 'Let's have a look at this weedle!'
Kash threw his pokeball on the ground. It opened, and Weedle came out.
'Are you alright?' I asked.
'Yes, why not?' Weedle replied.
'Didn't that pokeball scare you?' I asked.
'No,' said Weedle.
'Oh,' I said.
'I caught another pokemon!' said Kash. 'Yeah!'
I looked at Kash. I still didn't quite understand why he wanted to catch more pokemon, but he seemed happy, so I smiled. Suddenly we heard a voice.
'Hey you!'
