Episode 1: Part 2
"I'm here Prof. Vine!" A boy called as he walked into the Celadon City Pokemon Center. He was going to start his Pokemon training. His name was Rene.
"You made it. Now, as the town Professor, I can give you either a set of water, grass or fire." Prof. Vine replied. She was the distant cousin of Prof. Ivy.
"Water I guess." Rene replied after pondering the decision.
"You get Squirtle and Totodile then." Prof. Vine handed him the two Pokeballs and gave him four others and a Pokedex. "Good luck with your training, be a master."
"Thanks." He said and left to begin his quest to be the champion trainer. He went outside the center and ran into the town gym leader. Not all towns had gym leaders, only 8 special ones, and Celadon was one of them. "Hi Erika!"
"My gosh, I can't believe you're finally starting your journey." Erika said. "Well, are you heading anywhere special?"
"Well, I hear the best gym leader is Clair in Blackthorn, so that's where." Rene replied only to be surprised at Erika to laugh. "What's so funny?"
"That's the last gym, that's why she's the best. Besides, she's way in Johto. The first gym leader is in Pewter City. You can take the bus to Vermilion and go through the rock tunnel." Erik explained. The bus pulled up to the stop.
"Thanks for your help." Rene said, kind of embarrassed. He got on the bus and waved good by to Erika. He would see her again when he would battle for a badge. About half an hour later, he was in Vermilion City and was starting to go to the Diglett Cave. Not only Diglett lived there now, but many rock Pokemon and even a training center for fighting Pokemon.
"Welcome." A girl said. "I'm Karatae."
"Hi, I'm heading to Pewter City." Rene said. "Oh, and I'm Rene."
"Would you like to see all the Pokemon?" Karatae asked.
"Would I!" Rene ran into the entrance near the cave's entrance. There were many kinds of fighting Pokemon, two of each for all but one. "Why's there three Machoke?"
"That one was taken a while ago but it's trainer got sick of it not obeying his command to always win, so he brought it back. The poor thing." Karatae sighed.
"That's so mean, if I ever meet him," Rene started.
"He was just here an hour ago, wait, there his is going into the tunnel." Karatae pointed out and Rene ran over.
"You sicko!" He growled and punched him.
"What's with you?" The boy growled, he was about a year or so older.
"You abused your Machoke for no reason. No Pokemon is perfect and to even come close you need to be kind to it and train it." Rene growled.
"Oh yea, and how long have you been training?" The older boy grinned.
"About a day." Rene gulped.
"You see, you have no idea what this is about, rookie." The boy laughed. He went into the training center and up to his Machoke. "Pokemon are for fighting and if they can't, why have them. Right?" Machoke growled at his trainer but was shoved back hard.
"Stop that!" Rene yelled.
"Make me." The boy turned.
"I will!" Rene rammed him to make him fall against a weight rack in the corner. It fell and all the Pokemon ran out but Machoke got caught under it. "No!" He ran over to help, but most of the weight was too heavy. "See what you did?"
"That's my cue to exit." The boy began to limp away. Rene ran towards him and kicked him in the stomach. The boy ran off crying in pain. Rene and the Pokemon struggled to get the weights off him when Karatae returned and got Nurse Joy to help. They freed Machoke and took him to the Vermilion center.
"Will he be ok?" Rene asked after Nurse Joy came out of a room.
"He will be, you were very lucky to get him here when you did." She replied.
"We should thank the Pokemon." Karatae said. "If it weren't for them, who knows what would've happened."
"I don't even want to think about it." Rene shuddered.
"I'd better get back before my dad, Bruno, comes back and sees the mess." Karatae said. "You stay here with Machoke and I'll help the Pokemon." She ran off. The next day, Rene came over to see the place was back rolling. "How are you guys today?"
"Fine." Rene grinned as Machoke came beside him. "So is he."
"It looks like you have a new Pokemon." Karatae grinned.
"Yea." Rene patted Machoke. "And we're gonna be best friends."
"You'll be very happy." Karatae nodded.
"We'd better go." Rene said. "Welcome Machoke." Machoke grinned and went into his new masters Pokeball. "Alright, I got a Machoke!" He said good by to Karatae and the Pokemon and started in Diglett Cave. He walked for about an hour or so and he was close to the end when he saw an Onix. "Now I can make my first capture. Go Squirtle, Totodile!" Both came out and were nearly crushed by the Onix tail. "Max water gun, double time!" Both Pokemon used water gun and fainted Onix. "Now that was easy, go Pokeball." He threw the Pokeball but Onix was somehow able to get out. "Return you two, go Machoke." Machoke came out and beat up Onix with a series of chops. "Now that's power." Rene threw the Pokeball and it worked this time. "Onix is ours!"
"Machoke!" Machoke cheered and stopped when he saw a light ahead.
"The exit. Pewter gym, here we come!" Rene and Machoke ran over and stood in the afternoon sun. "We made it buddy." They walked threw the trees of the Viridian Forest. "I think we go this way." Rene pointed south, unaware that that was the way to Viridian City. They began to walk, going the wrong way. What will happen now that they're heading backwards? Will they find out or will they too late?
