Brock
By, Todd
`Well which way should I go?' Hawk thought to himself as he surveyed the many paths.
"I'll go......right." He stated aloud as he began to tromp to the right.
As he walked he saw many trees.
They all shone a deep green hue. Dew was still glistening from the grass as he walked.
He saw a few early bird trainers resting and searching for pokemon.
He then turned the corner and saw a lone Pidgey standing in his path.
"Pretty feisty are we?" he said as the pidgey did not move.
`Pidge' it cood
"Well alrighty then, go Rattata!"
The rattata appeared in a burst of red light ready for battle.
`Ratta'
"Quick attack now!"
The rattata obeyed and set to work.
It flashed back and forth very fast, and hit the pidgey from apparently no where.
`pidgeyyy' it screamed as it countered with a gust.
"Grr, do your' tail whip!" Hawk yelled as he realised he was losing.
The rattata obeyed expertly.
It jumped into the air and began to slap pidgey around with its' tail, inflicting minor damage.
The rattata fell back to the ground panting.
`Ratta' it said with relief at being able to rest momentarily.
"Good job rattata!" Hawk yelled.
He was about to throw a pokeball at the pidgey, when to everyones surprise it slowly rose to its' feet.
`Pid' it said weakly.
"What! Rattata finish it hyperfang!" Hawk yelled.
The rattata warily obeyed.
It leapt forward, fangs outstretched and bit into the pidgey.
The pidgey gave a minor yelp and fell forward.
"Pokeball go!" Hawk yelled as he threw the red and white `prison' at the pidgey.
There was a moments suspense while the ball gave a series of shakes and buzzes.
Sweat began to build up on Hawks forehead as he watched in anticipation.
`Ding'
Hawk jumped at the sudden sound and then a broad grin stretched across his face.
He returned rattaa after praising it and picked up the pokeball think "there are still 147 more"
The sun had just fully came over the tip of the mountains and the whole forest was thrust into a greater brightness.
Hawk could feel this was going to be a good day.
"Hey you!" a kid yelled from behind.
Hawk turned around.
It was a male, around 14 medium height. He had a net and a hat on.
Probably a bug catcher by his looks.
"I want a battle, you in!" the kid continued.
"Just a second, my pokemon are tired!" he yelled back as he pulled out that sample potion and sprayed his three pokemon.
"Is a two on two good with you?" Hawk asked as he walked toward the kid.
He nodded, "I'm Jim."
The two kids ran about twenty feet apart and selected their pokemon.
Hawk had chosen Caterpie and Pidgey to test his opponents strength.
"Alright I'll go first." The kid said as he picked out one of his two pokemon.
"Go Medapod!"
"Huh, a Metapod. Well I can match that! Go Caterpie!" Hawk yelled as he tossed a pokeball into the arena.
The caterpie appeared in a flash of red light ready for battle.
"Alright Metapod, harden!" the trainer yelled.
The Metapod glowed brightly momentarily before returning to its' original color.
"Caterpie tackle attack now!" Haxk yelled as he pointed to the stiffening metapod.
The caterpie nodded and with a loud scream charged his opponent.
Apon impact the metapod fell backwards, also sending the caterpie flying.
The caterpie slowly rolled back onto its' feet.
The metapod stayed as if unphased.
"Alright metapod, you can finish it with a tackle!" the bug catcher said mockingly as he watched his metapod defeat the weaker caterpie.
The caterpie once again flew to the ground, but this time did not get back up.
"Return." Hawk said sollemnly as his caterpie instantly dissapeared into the pokeball. "Now go Pidgey!"
He flung the pokeball to the ground where it reapeared, as defiant as ever.
"Pidgey gust!" Hawk yelled to his new pokemon.
The pidgey complied by sending a monsterous gust of wind at the metapod.
The metapod began to swirl in the gust to finally come flying to the ground with a loud thud.
The metapod this time looked more than phased as it shook once,twice and then fell totally.
"Dang it!" yelled the bug catcher as he pulled out a pokeball and returned it, "Go Weedle!"
`This will be more than easy!' Hawk thought as he watched the little weedle appear in front of him.
"Alright you ready Pidgey? Sand attack!" Hawk yelled as he pointed to the all-too-innocent looking weedle.
`Pidge' it cooed as it began to kick up sand at the weedle.
Clouds of brown dust engulfed the arena. Nobody could see except for the lone pidgey.
"Try to locate it and do a poison sting!" the bug trainer yelled with his hand over his eyes and face.
The attempts were in vain, neither the trainer nor pokemon could locate the evasive Pidgey, until finally the bug catcher called it quits and the dust died down.
"Return!" they both yelled in unison. As their pokemon dissapeared in a flash of red light, the two combatants walked over to each other and shook hands.
"Good fight." Hawk said as he shook the others hand.
"Yeah, whatever!" the other replied a bit more bitterly.
******
The rest of the day went by pretty boring aside from him managing to capture a Weedle and do a few battles.
"Ah here we are!" Hawk said as he read a sign that said:
NOW ENTERING PEWTER CITY
Immediately Hawk began to walk towards the pokecenter to get his tired pokemon a rest.
"Did ya here about Brock?" one man asked as Hawk walked by. "He left town with some other trainers after he was defeated!"
Hawk looked up, "Than who is controlling the gym?"
The man looked back to him, "his father,Flint." The man buisily went back to chatting with other people in the center.
After taking a break at the pokecenter Hawk began a short trek to the Pewter City gym, where he would attempt to gain his first badge.
He nudged the door open, and what he saw astounded him.
He saw many onix and graveler training, and he said under his beath "I need a bit more practice."
And with that he turned on his heels to go train some more.
