Episode 2

"Let's go Pikachu, we're on the road to Pewter City!" Jennifer called as she and her Pikachu left Viridian City and entered the forest. Suddenly they stopped. "Weedle." She thought for a moment then got out a Pokeball. "Go Caterpie! Tackle!" Caterpie came out and tackled Weedle against a tree. It got up and gave an angry leer. "Uh oh." It glowed and evolved into Kakuna. "It evolved, Caterpie attack!" Caterpie rammed again and again onto Kakuna but he had a hard shell. "Caterpie." Jen gulped as it was getting too tired. "Ret- hu?" She stopped her command when Caterpie glowed and became Metapod. "Alright! Tackle!" Metapod's hard shell gleamed in the light and hit the Kakuna hard against a tree. "We got it, now to catch it." Jen stopped and stood her ground.

"Pikapi?" Pikachu looked up to see her shaking and drop the Pokeball. "Pika!" He cried when he looked up to see that the shell had cracked and a Beedrill appeared.

"Return!" Jencalled and Metapod was safe, unlike her and Pikachu. "Should we run?" She gulped as the Beedrill hovered over his prey.

"Pika." Pikachu nodded and they ran through the forest.

"Use thunder shock!" Jen panted as they ran. Pikachu shocked the enraged Pokemon but it had little effect. Beedrill had a set course, to destroy the duo. "Tackle!" Pikachu hit Beedrill against a tree and it fell behind some bushes. "Now we can get it." She jumped over the bush and threw her Pokeball. "Pokeball, go!" But instead of hitting the Beedrill, it hit another Pokeball and they recoiled off each other and the Beedrill retreated. "What happened?" Jen gasped as she and Pikachu ran over. She picked up her Pokeball and looked up to see a Machoke. "Ah!" Then she saw it's trainer, it was Rene.

"Ah!" They both gasped when they saw each other. "Who are you, are you a trainer too? Hey, that was my Beedrill you let get away. Stop copying me!"

"Pika!" "Macho!" Both Pokemon yelled and slapped their trainers back to reality.

"Sorry." Rene shook his head.

"My fault, but I still wish one of us could have caught the Beedrill." Jen sighed.

"Who are you?" Rene asked. "I'm a starting trainer from Celadon. I'm Rene."

"I'm Jennifer from Pallet, call me Jen." Jen replied. "I'm a starting trainer too."

"Pikachu." He jumped onto her shoulder.

"Oh, and this is my buddy, Pikachu." Jen laughed at her Pokemon.

"This here is mine, Machoke." Rene patted him.

"Machoke." Machoke grinned.

"Are you headed to Pewter too?" Rene asked.

"Yea, it's just up that way through the forest." Jen nodded.

"Oh my gosh, I was going the wrong way. I thought this was the was to Pewter." Rene gasped. Jen laughed. "Good thing I bumped into you."

"Yea. Hey, come on. Pewter should only be an hour away." She said and began to walk off with Pikachu. Rene and Machoke followed. Soon they arrived. "We're here!"

"Let's go!" Rene grinned and they ran to the Pokemon Center to rest. "So, what Pokemon do you have? I have Machoke, Squirtle, Totodile and Onix."

"Well, I have Pikachu, Charmander, Totodile, Metapod and Pidgeotto." Jen said.

"Your Pokemon are healed." Joy called and they ran over. But there was a problem. Machoke was attracted to her since she healed him. "Go back to your trainer."

"Machoke get back here." Rene pulled him away. "Be nice." Machoke blushed.

"It's getting a little late, we should challenge Brock tomorrow." Jen said.

"Let's look around town until then." Rene suggested and they went outside. After a while, they found a tournament for beginning trainers. So, they entered. They fought trainer after trainer for about an hour until it was finally down to the main event. Rene and Jen were on one team and another boy and girl were on the other.

"Those Pokemon are truly valuable. Did you see the way they beat the enemy and won so easily?" The girl asked the boy. They were dressed in a costume.

"Yes Jessy, we should steal them and the boss will be proud of us and reward us well." The boy laughed.

"I agree James. As long as Meowth doesn't blow our cover we should win and steal easily." Jessy replied. They were using Ekans and Koffing against Pikachu and Machoke.

"Go." The referee called. Pikachu leaped onto Ekans and Machoke pounded Koffing into the dirt. Pikachu then did a tackle and sent Ekans flying onto Koffing and onto the sidelines. "The winners are Jen and Rene, they're the tag team champions of this years tournament!"

"Yea! Now I really do feel like a WWE wrestler!" Jen cheered but Rene just stared at her. "I call the position of Chris Jericho.wait, he's not a tag team champion anymore." She began to cry.

"Hey we won, don't cry about it." Rene said and took a step back just incase.

"Ok." Jen stopped crying as soon as he said to.

"That was fast." Rene laughed and they turned to their opponent.

"Good match." Jen stuck out her hand but as they did, Jessy and James tore off their costumes and recited their motto. (five minutes later.)

"What is Team Rocket?" Rene asked but Jen shrugged.

"We're an evil organization that steals rare and valuable Pokemon for our boss, and ourselves if we can, and get big money and higher raking for it." Jessy explained.

"So give us your Pikachu and Machoke!" James demanded.

"Yea." Meowth growled.

"Oh cool, a Meowth that can talk. I want it!" Jen grinned but shook her head and snapped out of it. "Forget it Team Rocket! Go Metapod!" Team Rocket just laughed. Metapod glowed with harden and then sped at Team Rocket to sent them flying and out of sight. "Whoa!" Jennifer stopped as Metapod's shell opened and out flew a Butterfree. "Oh wow. I got a Butterfree!" Jen cheered and picked up her Pokeball. "Butterfree return!" She grinned and put it back.

"Cool. Hey, we should stay at the center." Rene said, so they went back and healed their Pokemon. "You know, we have a lot in common."

"Yea I know, weird haw." Jen grinned.

"You just got yourself a new traveling buddy." Rene declared.

"Ok, if you want to hang out with me and Pikachu." Jen laughed.

"As long as you want to hang out with me and Machoke." Rene nodded.

"It's a deal." Jen smiled. And so the duo chose to travel together as a team to become Pokemon masters. But what about Team Rocket, are they really gone?
