Now, having said that (one more time) on with the story:



1 Pokémon: Oak Styled

2 Vision 02: The new face of darkness

Gary entered the Viridian City pokémon center in a flat run. Barely sliding to a stop in front of the counter, he gasped out "My pokémon need help!" to the nurse at the counter.

"Chansey emergency, bring a stretcher now!" the pink haired woman ordered. A medium sized pink egg shaped pokémon emerged from behind the counter, toke pikachu and placed it on a stretcher. Nurse Joy took Gary's other two poke balls and rushed them into the back as well.

Gary went over and sat down on a nearby bench. Pulling out his pokédex he searched through the files looking for the pokémon he had seen.

(I can't find it anywhere. I wonder what it was? And I wonder why I have the feeling that I shouldn't have seen it there?) He thought. The door opening allowing a very irate Misty entrance to the pokémon center and broke his train of thought.

"You! Look what you did to my bike!" The angry girl yelled dropping the charred remains in front of him.

"Well I'm sorry that I save my pokémon and my own life. Next time I'll kindly die and leave you your mode of transportation," Gary coolly replied.

Misty was driven to violence at this point and quickly pulled out her Wako and Smash's all-purpose anime girl mallet. She struck it down on the on his head, or at least tried to. Gary jumped back and then stepped on the head of the mallet preventing her from lifting it.

"Seriously if it meant that much to you, I'll replace it," Gary said. Misty looking at him, smiled, then quickly letting go of the mallet she grabbed the boy in a headlock and slammed him face first into the mallet.

"You better. Otherwise I'll keep following you till I get it back," she said to the downed boy. She grabbed the mallet and pulled it from under him and with a spin and placed it back from where ever it came from.

Gary groggily got up then, with a shake of his head to clear it, searched in his backpack for something. "Here," he said, "Here's a Bike Voucher. You can use it to get a custom bike from the Cerulean City bike shop."

"Harrumph! Lucky you. I hope I never see you again," she said stopping out of the pokémon center.

"Me too," Gary said. "What a rude girl."

The Nurse came back with Gary's two poke balls. After a short lecture on proper care of his pokémon, she told him that his pikachu would be ready to go in the morning. Gary nodded then opened them to see if they where ok. Eve was glad to see him, but Spearow was less then ecstatic to see him.

(Looks like another hard sell. Oh well let's see if I can at least make friends,) "Hi I'm Gary, Gary Oak. I want to be your trainer or if not that at least your friend," He said offering his hand in friendship to the bird. The small bird looked at him, and then perched on his forearm.

*Sure, why not. I could be stronger. But as for as being friends, well time will tell, * Spearow said.

"Ok, I'm not sure what you said, but I assume you agree to travel with me. Having asked that do you mind if I give you a nickname?" He asked the bird on his arm.

*I don't care, * It said nodding its head.

"Then I dub thee Storm Bringer. That's a good nickname," The boy said

*Storm Bringer. I like it! * Storm Bringer chipped excitedly.

{The next morning}

Gary, Storm Bringer, Eve, and Pikachu, who would be called Pika for short, were ready to leave the pokémon center. All the pokémon were healed, and Gary had rested and was ready to go. After calling his grandfather to tell him where he was, he was on his way through Viridian Forest.

Currently all of his pokémon were out. Pika was riding on his backpack, Eve was trotting next to him, and Storm Bringer was gliding overhead. Suddenly, Storm noticed something in the trees along the side of the path. In quick dive, Storm attacked. The dive knocked a small yellow pokémon on to the path. It looked like a caterpillar with a stinger on its head a tail. It also had a large red nose.

"A Weedle!" Gary exclaimed. "Alright Storm Bringer Peck it!" The bird complied and struck out with its sharp beak. The weedle countered by firing a load of string at its aggressor. But it missed, for the bird flew out of the way.

"Watch out for its Poison Sting as well! Try Leer!" Gary ordered. Storm's eyes started to glow an icy blue and the poison/bug type froze. Gary took the opening and threw a pokéball at he startled bug. The ball rocked back and forth for a few moments after pulling the bug in. Then, the red light on the center indicator went out, signaling a successful capture.

"Alright Storm, we got a weedle!" Gary shouted.

*That's nice, but I wish you'd let me eat him, * Storm replied to the boy's enthusiasm.

After that capture, Gary took the time heal and nickname his weedle Driller. Walking he stopped spotting pokémon. So he called back everyone but Pika, and left the path slightly. As he was searching they both started to hear voices. They quickly and followed the voices to the source.

"You can't get away, give it to us," said a scratchy male voice.

"We have you cornered, girl," said an arrogant female voice.

"You can't have it," said a younger female voice. I'll fight you before you can take it."

Gary and Pika peeked from around a tree and noticed tree figures in a clearing. One was a young man in long sleeved black shirt with a white shirt underneath, and black pants. He was wearing white gloves and white boots. He had teal colored hair and brown eyes. Another was a young woman in a black dress with red and white strips along the bottom, long white gloves on and long white boots on. She had blonde hair in twin ponytails, red triangle shaped earrings, and tan eyes. The both had large red R's on their chests.

The last person was a young girl in a purple ninja outfit. A purple hair band held her black hair back.

"Just who are you?" the girl asked angrily.

"Allow us to introduce ourselves," said the young man.

"To infect the world with devastation," the young woman said.

"To blight all peoples in every nation," the young man continued.

"To denounce the goodness of truth and love," his partner stated.

"To extend our wrath to the stars above," he said.

"Cassidy," the young woman said introduced herself.

"Butch," the young man said introducing himself.

"We're Team Rocket, circling Earth all day and night," Butch said.

"Surrender to us now, or you will surely lose the fight," Cassidy said.

"We'll see, because I'm not giving up. Call out your first pokémon!" The girl said. Throwing up and poke ball. In a flash of light a small bat like pokémon appeared. It had no eyes but it didn't need them. "Night Flyer get them!" she said.

*Right Janine! * The zubat said. *I can take anything that they throw at us! *

"Do you want to fight little girl? Well, get ready for a dozy of one. Rattata go!" Cassidy said with a smirk.

"Attack Mankey," Butch cried out.

(Hey this isn't fair two against one!) Gary thought. "Hey, Pika let's say we help out?" he whispered to the pikachu.

*Sure, * Pika said. Just as the two rocket pokémon charged forward to attack the zubat but the rattata was stopped midway by a Thunder Shock attack. The battle halted by the entry of the newcomers.

"Who are you?" Cassidy asked in shock. Gary was standing in the clearing with his pikachu in front of him. Both were ready to battle.

"I'm just a trainer who was looking for more pokémon and who needs more experience," Gary said smirking. "I noticed you two losers and decided you'd be easy experience."

"You little brat! Cassidy you take care of the ninja girl and I'll take care of this twit," Butch snarled to his partner.

"All right, Rattata Tackle the bat!" The blonde haired rocket cried out. The small purple rat-like pokémon charge forward to the hovering bat, but Janine wasn't going to let her friend get hurt so easily.

"Night Flyer, dodge up than Supersonic!" the poison trainer ordered. Her pokémon complied and flew over the charging rat. It then emitted a super sonic pulse that scrambled the rattata's thought patterns confusing it. Meanwhile Mankey was trying to hit Pika with Scratch but just barely missed hitting the more agile pikachu.

"Pika, Tail Whip, than Thunder Bolt!" Gary ordered noticing that the pikachu couldn't get enough space to charge and electric attack. The electric mouse complied and smacked the pig monkey pokémon in the face with its lighting bolt-shaped tail. Then Pika fired off a devastating bolt of electricity, illuminating the fighting pokémon's skeleton. It collapsed thoroughly charred.

"Ugh, Mankey return!" Butch said annoyed at his pokémon poor showing. It was pulled in its poke ball in a flash of red light. His partner's battle was going just as poorly. Janine's zubat was just to fast for Rattata. It dodged all of its physical blows, confusing the poor pokémon until it ran into a tree.

Smiling Janine ordered the finishing blow "Night Flyer, Bite than Leech Life!" Night Flyer zoomed to the stunned rat, bit in to it, and drained the life out of it. By the time Zubat was done, Rattata was out of the match.

"Don't think you've got us!" Cassidy yelled calling back her fallen pokémon. She quickly pulled out a small gray orb and slammed it into the ground. The orb burst into a cloud of smoke obscuring the duo's get away. When the smoke cleared they were long gone.

"No need to thank me, I'm just awesome all around," Gary said. "It's no wonder that they ran away from my power."

"Your right. I don't need to thank you," Janine said as her zubat landed on her shoulder. She knelt and said to Pika, "I should be thanking you. You're pretty strong. Stronger than you're level would show."

*Hey what about me? * Night Flyer asked indignantly. *I helped too! *

"Of course I didn't forget you. You did a great job, like always," she said in response. "I never forget when someone does a good deed for me." Night Flyer nodded in acceptance of the praise.

"And what am I? Just someone taking up space?" Gary asked getting annoyed.

"Nope, your just the silly trainer who I'm going to ask to escort me to Fuchsia City," the ninja girl said. "After all, those two aren't the first to come after me and I know someone with some skill when I see them."

"And what make you think I'm going to Fuchsia?" Gary asked.

"Simple, you're a new trainer starting out, so you would have to get the badge there to compete in the pokémon league. And I could help you because I have been to all the cities that you will have to go to. So let's work together?" She proposed.

Gary paused for a minute to think. Then he said smirking "Off course we will grace you with our presence. But I go my own pace, so don't complain."

"Fine by me, my name is Janine," she said.

"And I am Gary Oak," he said as they shook hands. As they did someone watched them from a tree.

(He didn't need help to deal with those two this time. But his attitude will have to change. He has to follow his heart if things will turn out for the best. And I am going to teach him to do just that,) the person thought. "Just that," the person whispered.

Next Vision:

Gary challenges his first gym leader after training for a while. He has done his homework and believes his plan can beat this leader. But a changed gym and two mysterious girls will make his life a whole lot harder.

And the vision fades to a new concept.
