Chapter 4: Living Destiny
"No! Where are you taking me! Stop this I say! Now! Do you know who I am?" Came the bellows and moans of a man being haplessly dragged through the dirt. Tears stung his face as they rolled down his cheeks. The bright lights slowly faded into darkness of a stone hallway. "Do you hear me? Un- hand me! I shouldn't have lost. He cheated!" He screamed as he was shoved in to the back of a security van. The van began to roll and he sat in the back and cried. The scene blacked out.
Thomas awoke in the bed of another young Pokémon trainer. A young boy named Ketchum's home. His mother had been more then hospitable to Thomas and for that he was grateful to whoever he was. Thomas stretched and put on his vest and walked down stairs where Ms. Ketchum was making toast.
"Good Morning," she said, "would you like some toast?" she asked.
"Good Morning to you too," he replied, "I would love some." So Thomas ate until he was full and then he walked out side with his Pokéball in hand. He stared at it a minuet and then threw it as hard as he could at the ground it front of him. "GO POKÉMON!" he shouted. The ball flew open and bright lights flew everywhere. The light blinded Thomas, and it took him a minuet to see again when the Pokémon finally came out. Standing before him was a pile of lime green vines with feet.
"Tangela!" it said aloud.
"What the?" said Thomas pulling out his Pokédex.
"Tangela, the weed Pokémon. Its black body is covered in thick purple vines." His Pokédex said.
"Purple? Hey! This one is green! That's cheap!" Thomas yelled. The Pokédex snapped back on.
"This Pokémon is called 'shiny', meaning strangely colored. This Pokémon's special color is lime green" it said in its rigid computer voice.
"Wow," said Thomas in astonishment, "my very own 'shiny'."
"Tangela!" it exclaimed. So Thomas began training. He fought wild Pidgey, and Rattata, Weedle, and Caterpie. He even fought some Senteret. He knew he still had three days to get to Azalea Town for the competition. He had to hurry, but he had to train too. He would leave that night for Cherry Grove City where he would stay until the next day when he would head out. So he trained for the rest of the day and headed out. It was dark on the path and he started to frighten himself. suddenly he heard voices, he immediately jumped behind a tree. Two figures dressed in black appeared. one had purple hair that was parted to one side and the other had long flowing red hair that ended in a curl. The one with purple hair was carrying a glass globe with a light bulb on top. There was a small yellow thing in the glass globe.
"I can't believe we finally snagged this Pikachu!" the one with the Purple hair said.
"Yeah, Yeah, let's just get it to the boss!" snapped the one with the red hair. A Meowth jumped up out of no where.
"Pay Day! Pay Day! Ha ha ha ha ha ha!" it chanted. Thomas was surprised the Meowth could talk.
"I have to stop them!" Thomas said. he jumped out into the road stopping the people dead in their tracks.
"What do you think you are doing?" the one with the purple hair said.
"Stopping you!" Thomas said.
"Well then..." said the one with the red hair, "Prepare for trouble!"
"Make it double!" said the one with the purple hair. they traded off from then on.
"To protect the world from devastation."
"To unite all people within our nation"
"To denounce the evils of truth and love"
"To extend our reach to the stars above"
"Jessie"
"James"
"Team Rocket blast off at the speed of light"
"surrender now or prepare to fight, fight, fight"
"Meowth, that's right!" said the Meowth. suddenly, a light flashed and a new Pokémon appeared.
"WOBUFETT!" said a large blue bulb-like Pokémon with a black tail.
"I don't care who you are, your thieves and that is all that matters. GO TANGELA!" Thomas yelled the last part while hurling the Pokéball into the ground. Bright lights flew everywhere. Tangela popped out just like always did.
"Tangela!" it cried before going into battle.
"Vine whip them, now" Thomas yelled, two vines shot from the back of Tangela and smacked the humans in the face. They fell onto the ground with a sickening SMACK! Meowth jumped up and grabbed the globe and Wobufett tried to eat him.
"get off me you buffoon!" yelled Meowth.
"SLEEP POWDER, NOW!" Thomas screamed and a blue powder flew from Tangela and got on the two other Pokémon. Thomas grabbed the globe and freed the Pikachu. It jumped down and used thunder on the Pokémon and humans.
"looks like Team Rocket is blasting off again!" they said as they flew away.
"I saw it over there." a girl's voice said. soon two boys and a girl appeared.
"Pikachu!" one of the boys said, "I thought I lost you." he was a little taller then Thomas and looked to be a year or two older. He had wild black hair that he covered with a red and white official Pokémon League hat. He had a black shirt and a blue and white jacket with a green backpack. He turned to Thomas and said. "Thank you so much for saving him from Team Rocket. My name is Ash Ketchum."
"Ketchum?!?" Thomas chocked looking surprised.
"Yes, why?" Ash asked.
"Well, I stayed at your house in New Bark Town!"
"I thought your mom lived in Pallet town." the girl said. She was taller then ash in a small yellow t-shirt and small shorts. She had flaming red hair pulled back into a sideways ponytail. she had a red bag slung over her shoulder. The other boy looked much older and had darker skin and jet black spiky hair. He wore brown pants with an orange shirt and a green vest. he had a backpack and it looked as if his eyes were closed.
"So did I, she must have moved, maybe we will go visit her. Let me introduce you to my friends. this is Misty," he said pointing to the girl.
"pleased to meet you" she said.
"And that is Brock" Ash continued.
"I noticed your Tangela in green and not purple. Very curious." Brock said.
"Well, lets just say he is special. I really must be going, I have quite a way to travel. It was nice meeting you all and perhaps we will meet again some day." Thomas said.
"Probably, then we can battle!" Ash said. So with there parting words off they went and Thomas walked on with reflecting thoughts in his mind. It was his first night spent out of Black thorn. He soon reached Cherry Grove City and he went straight to the Pokémon center and fell asleep in one of the rooms. Tomorrow was going to be a big day.
"No! Where are you taking me! Stop this I say! Now! Do you know who I am?" Came the bellows and moans of a man being haplessly dragged through the dirt. Tears stung his face as they rolled down his cheeks. The bright lights slowly faded into darkness of a stone hallway. "Do you hear me? Un- hand me! I shouldn't have lost. He cheated!"
