Chapter 3: Pewter City Adventure
The next morning the group was on there way again. Cara was feeling pretty bad about the whole ordeal the previous night. "Relax," Bill said, "She's been out here 3 months and only has two badges. Your going to get your first badge on the second day." "Yea, I guess." answered Cara.
With that she let out her pokemon for some fresh air. "Go, Pikachu, Ponyta, Eevee, Marill, Meowth." They reached the top of a steep hill and climbed down into Pewter City.
It was a huge city bigger then Metronome and Pallet Town put together. It had to poke centers, a shopping mall, a movie theater, and it's own airport. However all the buildings seemed to be made out of granite marble or onyx. Bill led them through the city to a large theater.
They entered. Inside it looked elegant and Cara couldn't stop wondering what they were doing here. Bill approached the front desk where a stout round man sat reading a book. "Oh hello, Bill" he said looking up. The man then proceeded to hand bill 4 tickets. "Thank you" said Bill.
Cara raised an eyebrow, "What was all that about?" "Well, my aunt is an actress and she's staring in the play tonight so I get free tickets." replied Bill. Kate and Amanda whipped around "AND YOU EXPECT US TO GO?" "Yes and it will be dressy so if you didn't bring anything formal……" Bill said. Cara just rolled her eyes she didn't like having all these people around distracting her from her pokemon, but she decided to go along with it anyway. "I'm going to go check us into the Royal Pidgeot Hotel, and say hi to my aunt. I'll meet you three back here at exactly five o' clock." instructed Bill.
So Cara and the two girls left to go find the local Pokemart. As they pushed through the glass doors the first thing they noticed was a grumpy looking clerk sat behind the counter fiddling with the tie on his apron.
Cara boldly approached the counter. The clerk barely glanced up. Cara placed the ten meowth coins on the counter, "How much are these worth?" she asked. "About 5 pd each." "COOL FIFTY BUCKS" Cara leapt into the air."
She looked at the display behind the counter. There was a crystal sliph scope for a ridiculous amount of money, and a rough cut pokeflute for 50 pokedollars. "I'll take the Pokeflute." she said. The clerk rang her up and then removed the pokeflute from the case and handed it to Cara.
By now Kate was at the opposite end of the store reading something off the back of a box. Cara approached her to see what it was she was looking at. It was a small box about the size of a pack of cards. On the front there was a picture of a card with a charmander on one side and a charmeleon on the other.
"These are pokemon cards" explained Kate "There mostly used by teachers but there the only thing that I'll study so my dad buys them for me."
Next they went to a clothing store called, The Jiggy Jigglypuff. Cara bought a gray skirt, a black tank top, high heeled shoes, and a gold necklace with a bulbasaur locket on it. (Being especially fond of grass type pokemon, Bulbasaur was her favorite.)
Cara glanced at the outfit and realized it was probably the nicest thing she'd ever bought. Her typical pokemon trainers outfit was a white tank top, oversized cargo pants, a blue fishermans hat, and sneakers with her hair in disheveled pigtails. "Oh wow" shouted Amanda and Kate when they saw her "You ACTUALLY look decent." Cara glared at them. "Awww" Amanda mocked "Little Cara actually looks like a GIRL!"
Cara growled at her. "We're hungry" said Kate "We're going to go and get hamburgers at the Charizard Grill. So we'll see you after you DON'T get your badge."
Cara changed back into her 'normal' clothes but put a bandana on instead of her hat. She then left and headed to the gym.
The doors were tall made of solid stone and looked extremely threatening. Cara took a deep breath and pushed them open. It was a large room with a high ceiling and a cement arena for a floor. It was dark with the exception of a few torches on the walls that made the shadows dance. Up on a raised platform a young man sat with his back to her. "So this must be the famous Brock" she thought.
He turned around and started blushing immediately "Hi my name is Brock, what's your name?" "What a freak" thought Cara, "Um….my names Cara and I'm here for a battle." "Fine then" he shrugged, "I have to take on all challengers. We will each use two pokemon. Go Onyx!" Cara sent our Ponyta.
"Onyx dig" Brock shouted. "Ponyta stop that onyx use fire spin." Onyx couldn't move, the smoke from the firespin attack was blinding him and he couldn't see. He tried to dig under but he missed and dove into the fire. Brock knew that the only way to take out flareon would probably also harm onyx. "Oh well, ONYX USE YOUR EXPLOSION!" Rocks flew everywhere the whole room shock. "AHHHHHHHH" Cara was knocked to the ground as rocks tumbled down all around her. A few moments later the chaos subsided and as the dust cleared both trainers could see two fainted pokemon lying on the gym floor.
Both trainers recalled there pokemon. "Marill Go!" shouted Cara. "Geodude Go!" Brock threw out his a geodude. "Geodude use your rock throw" "Marill quick use your agility" Marill was faster than geodude and easily dodged the attack. "NOW, Marill use your hydro pump!" Geodude was hit by the blast and thrown to the ground. "It's wet. Now it will conduct electricity. Marill use your thunder shock." "GEODUUUUUUUUUUUUUUDE" Geodude cried, "That's enough!" shouted Brock "Come back Geodude!"
Cara leapt up into the air. "Yes Marill you're the best!" Brock tossed her a boulder badge. "Here you go. Good job. You really deserve that." Cara proudly pinned it onto her scroll and left with a beam on her face.
