Chapter Three

Kris and Chizo were walking through Cherrygrove City. They decided to go ahead and start on the road to Violet City.

They had been walking for a few hours, and it was starting to get dark. Kris saw a hoothoot staring down at them from a high branch. She considered catching it, but decided against it.

Chizo was practicing his new razor-leaf attack against a couple of rattatas. Suddenly, they heard a frightened, "Poli!" They both raced to where they had heard it.

There were a couple of spearows attacking a small poliwag. "Chizo!"

"Chiko!" Chizo rushed at one of the spearows, ramming into it. It responded by pecking at his head. The other one started battering Chizo with it's wings. "Chiko!"

"Poli?" The poliwag looked up, seeing Chizo being attacked by the spearows. It jumped up, squirting a small stream of bubbles at the spearows. It didn't do much damage, but it distracted the birds from Chizo long enough for him to tackle one again.

The spearows flew off angrily. Chizo walked over to the little poliwag, and started talking to it.

"Chiko? Chika chi rita chiko."

"Poli? Poliwag!"

"Chikari chiko ri chika."

"Poli..."

"Chikorita, chiko ri rita. Chiko ri chi."

"Poliwag!"

Kris was completely lost by this point. "Maybe I should learn their language..."

The poliwag walked, or rather, stumbled, toward her. "Poli!"

Kris looked down. "Hmmm?"

The poliwag leapt up, and smacked a pokeball loose from Kris's backpack. It then hit the button on the front, capturing itself.

Kris blinked. "...I just caught a pokemon. Yeah!"

Chizo watched her, a huge sweatdrop on his face.

************************************************************

After Kris had taken her new poliwag back out, she had decided to call the female pokemon Cleo.

They soon came upon a young boy. "Hey!" He said as soon as he saw them. "Wanna battle?"

Kris nodded. "Sure! Two pokemon each."

The boy nodded and threw out a pokemon. "Pidgey, go!" The small brown bird pokemon cooed, flapping it's wings.

Kris sent out her newest pokemon, Cleo. "Okay. Cleo, Go!" The little poliwag waddled out, trying to glare threateningly at the pidgey, and not succeding.

The pidgey flapped its wings, sending a strong burst of air at Cleo. "Poli!"

"Hmm, Cleo, try your bubble attack!" Kris yelled.

Cleo faced the pidgey, spitting a steady stream of bubbles out of her mouth. They exploded on the bird.

"Pidgey, use another gust attack!" Cleo was too slow to dodge it, and was bowled over. The pidgey started to bat her with it's wings.

Cleo stood up, and instead of bubbles, a stream of water came out. The pidgey was thoroughly soaked by the water gun attack. Cleo smacked it with her tail before the trainer recalled it.

The next was a rattata, which only took a good water gun or two to take down.

"Aww, alright then. You win." The trainer said, handing Kris some money.

They headed on to Violet City and the first gym.

*Sigh*I know, it's short...

Moonlit Shadow: IF, and I stress this, IF there will be romance, it will be Kris/Hiro.

Dawn the Espeon: Well, on my crystal game, Kris started with chikorita, and on my silver game, Hiro started with cyndaquil. If I ever bothered to play my gold game, Kamon would have totodile. Yes, I know The default name on silver is Kamon, not Hiro, but...*shrugs* Oh well. I bought silver first, and I like the name Hiro. ^_^ As to romance, well, I've never really tried to write it, but...look above. It probably should be action/adventure, I'm just feeling too lazy to change it right now. ^_^'

EvolutionEevee: Thank you. ^_^
