Pokeball
By: Todd
It was a bright sunny morning in Viridian as Hawk walked back towards Pallet after getting the families groceries.
Hawk was a 16 year old. He was tall with midnight blue hair and green eyes.
Surprisingly enough he wasn't a pokemon trainer. He never really cared for pokemon that much.
Well anyways, he was walking through the tall grass when he noticed something on the ground, it was a pokeball.
"Hey I wonder if anything is in here?" he said.
He pushed the button but nothing came out.
"Figures" he said as he shoved it into his pocket.
As he walked down the small path that led through the tall grass he felt like something was following him.
The bushes behind him shook.
"Hey who's there?!" Hawk said suddenly turning around.
'Pie' something squeaked.
"Is that a caterpie?" he thought to himself.
'Cater!' it said as if answering his question.
"What the heck." He said as he pulled out the empty pokeball. "Maybe it'll get away and I'll be rid of this extra pokeball." He continued.
"Pokeball go." He said unenergetically as he tossed the ball.
The ball hit the weak pokemon and began to shake, it shook once twice and then stopped. It gave out a loud 'ting'.
"Well how about that, I actually caught it!" he cried as he retrieved the pokeball with his new Caterpie in it.
"I bet my sis will be so jealous!" he said as he excitedly walked home.
********
"No fair how did you catch it without a pokemon or pokeball!?" his little sister Liz cried.
Liz was 12 and was getting her license in one month. She had long red hair and green eyes, and she was constantly thinking of pokemon.
"I told you I found a pokeball and a caterpie and tossed the damn ball!" I said starting to get frustrated as I repeated it for the millionth time.
"So are ya going to go out on a journey?" she said to me.
I had never really thought about it, I mean now that I have it………why not?
I slowly walked up to my parents.
"Yes dear?" she asked sincerely.
"I was wondering since I have already got one pokemon if I could begin my journey, with my allowance?" I asked in a pleading tone.
Now that I think of it I like pokemon a lot.
"Well, dear if you think you can handle it I'll let you start out tomorrow, but you'll need to see Professor Oak." She replied.
"Alright, I'll be back in a bit." I said as I ran over to the lab several blocks down.
"Hey Professor." I said as I walked in.
The professor and I had known each other for a very long time, he would let me come in and feed the pokemon.
"Yeah what do you need Hawk?" he asked me. "A cup of sugar?"
"No Professor, not this time." I said with a laugh. "You see I found a pokeball in the woods, it was empty but on my way home I spotted a Caterpie and caught it. Now I'm here to see if I can buy one of your older Pokedexes."
The Professor nodded "I see" he then walked off and began scurrying around. "Ah here it is." He said with pride as he held up a new pokedex. "Here you can have this as long as you document me whatever you see, alright?"
I nodded in excitement as he proceeded to hand me 5 pokeballs.
"Thank you Professor" I said appreciatively as I turned and ran home to get ready.
*****
As I got home I pulled out the shiny Pokedex.
"Mom look what the professor gave me!" I said as I held out the precious little tool.
"Pretty cool huh Liz?" I said trying to rub it in.
"Yeah it's great!" she said in awe.
"Well you can leave first thing in the morning honey, I'll pack your stuff now so you can get some extra rest."
"Gee thanks mom!" I said as I ran up to my room.
At first I had a hard time falling asleep.
It troubled me that I had to begin with a weak Caterpie.
I had many questions like: How will it stand up against others. But I eventually slid into sleep.
*****
I felt my whole body shaking and I opened my eyes.
"Time to get up." My mom said as she held out some clothes and my backpack.
"Alright I'm up" I replied groggily as I slid into my clothes.
I sat down for a quick breakfast of eggs pancakes and orange juice as I told where I am heading first.
"Oh and every night I want you to give me a ring if possible o.k. honey?"
I nodded and walked out the door into the bright sunny morning.
"Wow it's nice out today" I said as I put a hat on to shield the sun.
"Well here we go." I said as I passed the sign that read: LEAVING PALLET:
I walked along about an hour before I came to a pokemon, it was just a rattata.
"A pokemon is a pokemon I guess" I said as I unclipped Caterpie. "Go!" I hurled the ball to the ground where Caterpie emerged.
'Cat' it yelled happily
"Well let's begin, Tackle now!!"
The little caterpie lunged at the Rattata sending it sprawling to the ground.
"Wow, you're pretty tough Caterpie! Do your' string shot to tie it up!" Hawk yelled.
'Caterpie!' it nodded and began to shoot foam out of its' mouth.
The rattata soon looked like a mummy-rat.
"I think it's down Caterpie. Go Pokeball!" Hawk yelled as he hurled the red and white ball at the rattata.
The rattata entered the pokeball and began to shake, but no amount of shaking was letting this one go.
Hawk had caught a rattata.
"Yeah! I caught it!" I yelled as I picked up the pokeball.
"Caterpie return" I yelled as the pokemon disappeared in a flash of red light.
As soon as I clipped my pokemon back up I continued on my way.
It was mostly a boring walk with a few rattata scattered around, but nothing to good.
It took me about half an hour to reach Viridian city.
"Finally I'm here!" I said excitedly as I walked up to the Pokecenter.
I pushed open the double doors that led into the center.
Immediately as I walked in I felt the cool air condition run down my hot sweaty back.
I walked up to the counter where Nurse Joy stood with a smile on here face.
"How may I help you?" she said in her higher voice.
"Hum, Can you heal my pokemon?" I asked.
"Yes sir," she said "Chansey to the front desk" she said into the microphone.
Seconds after saying that a big pink Chansey waddled up to the counter.
'Chansey, Chans?' it squeaked as if asking what to do.
"Chansey please take these two pokemon into the healing room." Nurse Joy told the Chansey as she loaded them into a small tray.
"That will be about 10 minutes." She said turning back to me.
"Thank you, I'll wait here until they are ready." I said as I turned and sat down on a nearby bench and began to read a magazine.
*ten minutes later*
"Hawk to the front desk" Nurse Joy said over the microphone.
"Coming." I said as I got up and walked over.
"Here you go, your' pokemon are fighting fit!" she said as she handed me the two pokeballs.
I walked out of the nice air conditioned building almost regretfully as the heat once more overtook the air.
It took me around five minutes to get to the exit, but I did finally get there.
There was a sign there that said: This way to Pewter City :
"Then that's the way I want to go." I said as I turned and left town.
Right before the forest path that lead to Pewter there was a large building you had to walk through.
It was full of trainers resting from their long walk back from Pewter.
I walked up to one of the trainers and asked "Did you battle Brock?"
The kid got up and said "Yeah, but I was smeared! That guy is good, and oh yeah beware of the onix!"
"Thanks for the tip." I said more nervouse than when I walked through the door.
I headed for the door.
"Hey wait, here!" that one kid said as he tossed me a potion, "You'll need it."
I thanked him once again as I closed the door behind me.
I saw before me a vast forest with paths going every direction.
"This is going to be a long day"
