To my dearest Agatha,

I caught my first Pokemon today!

After stocking up on supplies at the Viridian City Pokemart, I decided to venture back the way I had come to see if I could capture some of the Pokemon I had already seen. I released my Kangashakan to walk beside me just as a Pidgey swooped down on us. Before I could even command my Pokemon, she surprised me with her quick reflexes by weakening it with her Comet Punch.

I threw one of my pokeballs at the Pidgey, watching the ball twitch furiously as it fought the capture. It finally stopped moving. I don't know who was happier, my Kangashakan and I. I released the small bird so we could become acquinted.

Somehow the small bird didn't feel like I was a threat as I petted it. It chirped happily and climbed up on my shoulder. I jumped as it began to cry loudly, seeing a Rattata nearby. Here was my chance to capture another Pokemon.

"Pidgey, use Tackle!" I say.

It slammed into the small Pokemon, allowing me time to throw yet another pokeball and capture this one as well.

Now i have three, my Kangashakan, a Pidgey and a Rattata. I wish you could have been here to see their capture. They are incredibly sweet Pokemon and they adore the treats we made together before we parted.

I miss you. See you soon.

Samuel



Delaih was glad that Giovanni was in a better mood. She knew that one of his pet peeves was any kind of setbacks in his plans. He was very centered and goal oriented, and always eliminated any distractions.

"I would never see you as a distraction, Deliah. I love you." he told her.

She was happy. They had been training all day, and had captured two more Pokemon, a Nidoran male and a Nidoran female. All of his Pokemon were already at level nine, and they had already made it to the middle of Viridian Forest.

"Looks like our next stop is Pewter City. I wonder who the gym leader is?" Deliah wonders.

"I was told that he trains rock type Pokemon. I guess I should try to catch a water type Pokemon." Giovanni says.

Deliah smiled. "Water Pokemon are so cute and mysterious. Which one are you planning to capture?" she asks.

He turned on her quickly. "Pokemon may be mysterious, but they are definitely not cute. All Pokemon are objects in which to achieve our goals as trainers. Only someone who is simple minded would take time out of their busy lives to consider any other idea." Giovanni told her.

She knew better than to contradict him as they made their way out of the forest and towards Pewter City. Delaih spied a nearby vegatable garden a young man was tending.

"Why don't we release your Pokemon and ask this young man if he'll let us buy some goods from him? I'm hungry and I'll bet your Pokemon are too." Delaih says.

Not in the mood to argue, Giovanni went over to the young man while Delaih released his Pokemon. She petted his Machop and cuddled both Nidorans close to her. They nibbled affectionately on her arm, waving their paws at each other.

"Hello, my name is Flynt Harrison and this is my rock garden. Would you like to buy some rocks?" he asks.

"Actually, we were hoping to buy some vegatables for our group." Giovanni says.

"Are you a Pokemon trainer? Wow!! I just got my trainer's license, but my dad needs me at his gym. He's the Pewter City gym leader." Flynt says.



It's going to take forever to get to Pewter City, Samuel thought, as he walked through Viridian Forest. I have found lots of useful items I can use in battle. I was hoping to find a couple TMs, but no such luck. We've battled quite a few bug Pokemon out here and now all my Pokemon are at level nine.

My Pidgey knows three attacks-tackle, sand attack and gust. My Rattata also knows three attacks-tackle, tail whip and quick attack.

We sat down for lunch and I could have sworn I had seen a flash of yellow nearby. I sent my Pidgey to find it to no avail. She had been in too many battles and was exhausted. I guess our next stop will be the Pewter City Pokemon Center.

"Excuse me, I think you may need these." a young woman says.

I turned to face the stranger that was offering me a set of earplugs.

"What are these for?" I ask, looking at them.

She smiled at me. "Trust me. You'll thank me later." she says.

He accepted her gift graciously amking his way towards Pewter City. He was immediately greeted by a young man holding a basket of vegatables.

"You're the second trainer I've seen today. Would you like to buy a basket of vegatables? If you do, I'll give you something extra too." Flynt says.

Samuel agreed, needing some items for his Pokemon anyway. Flynt smiled.

"Thank you. My name is Flynt. How many Pokemon do you have?" he asks.

"I'm Samuel Oak. I have three Pokemon, a Pidgey, a Rattata and a Kangashakan." he says.

"Well, I doubt you'll be able to beat the Pewter City gym leader with those Pokemon. He trains rock types. If you like, I can help you get to where you need to go to capture a strong enough Pokemon to use against him." he says.

"How?" Samuel asks.

Flynt points a bush nearby.

"You see that bush? If you have a Pokemon that knows Cut, you can cut it down to go through Diglett's Cave to get to Vermillion City." he says.

"That sounds great, but I need to get to the Pokemon center first." Samuel says.

"I'll go with you." Flynt offered.

Samuel agreed. "You said you had met another trainer today?" Samuel asks.

"Yeah. A guy that was a little younger than you and his girlfriend. They were going to the Pokemon center too. I hope they're okay." Flynt says.

"What do you mean? Why wouldn't they be?" Samuel asks.

He walks inside the Pokemon center and realizes that his companion had stayed behind. After a few minutes, he realizes why.

"Deliah!" Samuel shouts.

He catches her just as she falls to the floor unconscious. He looked around quickly and saw everyone else in the building was asleep too.

"What is going on here?" he mutters.

He feels himself about to fall asleep too as he finds out what had caused all the commotion.

In the corner of the room stood a small pink Pokemon with big wide eyes singing a sweet lullaby, assumingly using some kind of attack to lull everyone into slumber.

"What kind of pokemon is that?" he whispers, before everything goes black.
