"Trouble On The Road To Cerulean"

Bulbasaur and Eevee were walking by my side as I carried my tiny Pichu. I was still very impressed at how we had won our first gym battle back in Pewter City. As we kept walking I figured it would be nice to let all of my pokemon stretch their legs, yep this was a nice day to have a walk.

"Mankey, Kakuna, Pigeotto, come on out!" I yelled, tossing all three pokeballs into the air.

As I continued walking Pichu jumped out of my arms to socialize with the other pokemon and when I looked down at them I noticed that Kakuna wasn't with them. As I turned around I saw Kakuna sitting there were I left it and I asked it what was wrong.

"Kakuna, the cocoon pokemon, while it is in the second stage of evolution it is immobile until it evolves into a Beedrill three days after evolving into Kakuna." Beeped Dexter.

"Oh, well that explains a lot. Hey wait a minute today is Weedle's second day as Kakuna, that means it will probably evolve tomorrow. Kakuna, until then I'll just carry you in my arms." "Okay guys lets keep going." I said while picking up Kakuna.

Today would be a nice day for a picnic.

While we were walking I stumbled and twisted my ankle, it hurt so bad, and I was so scared because I was miles away from Cerulean and I knew my pokemon were to weak to carry me the whole distance. Just then Bulbasaur, Pigeotto, Mankey, Pichu and Eevee went running off into the woods when I needed them most to protect me. Well in the mean time I had my Kakuna to keep me company, but my ankle started hurting more and more.

About twenty minutes later all of my pokemon returned, but they were all carrying branches and vines. I had no idea what they were doing until they had finished. They had built what looked like a little hammock/stretcher without any wheels. I scooted my way over until I was sitting right on it and both Mankey and Eevee grabbed onto vines and started pulling me. Pigeotto grabbed a vine as well and started pulling while flapping its wings as hard as it could. My little Pichu even tried to help, but wasn't succeeding very much so I thanked him and returned him to his pokeball. My Kakuna only weighed five pounds, but I decided I should call it back into its pokeball to make it a little easier on the other pokemon.

We traveled along at a brisk paste for about an hour and a half, but my ankle just kept on getting worse, and my pokemon were exhausted. A few minutes later a boy with blue eyes and bleached blond hair rode up on an Arcanine, I figured he was probably about sixteen or seventeen.

"Hey, do you need any help?" He asked.

"Yes I do, I twisted my ankle and my pokemon have been pulling me for and hour and a half, and they are really tired." I replied.

"Don't worry I can help you." He said a smile as he hopped of the Arcanine.

He then threw a pokeball into the air and out came a Charizard. He told me to recall all of my pokemon and that the Charizard would carry me into Cerulean, were I could get some medical help. I recalled all of my pokemon and was a little worried because the Charizard looked pretty intimidating.

"Don't worry Charizard won't hurt you, he is going to take you to my house in Cerulean and my dad will take care of your ankle, he's a doctor. I need to go to Pewter city, but I will be back at my house really soon, and don't worry Charizard will get you to my house really quickly."

"Okay if you say so." I said as the boy helped me onto Charizard's back.

Then the Charizard spread his wings and started to fly, I screamed because we were so high that I could barely see the ground, and I had never flown on a pokemon's back before. That is when everything went black.

I woke up in a bed with the same Charizard lying next to me. And I wondered were I was, then someone walked into the room. I couldn't tell who it was because the only lighting in the room was coming from the flame on Charizard's tail. When the form came closer I recognized that it was the boy who rescued me from the woods and that he had a tray on which was a bowl of soup and some water.

"Here eat this, it will help you recover." He said.

"Thank you so much, but how did I get here?" I asked.

"My father's Charizard flew you here and carried you inside, that is when my mother brought you to this bed." He replied.

"Oh." Was all I said.

"Any way, what is your name and were do you come from?" He asked.

"My name is Megan, and I'm from Pallet Town. Who are you?" I asked.

"I am William, I live here in Cerulean with my parents when I'm not out training with my pokemon."

"It's nice to meet you William, oh by the way you said this Charizard was your fathers, what about the Arcanine that you were riding on?"

"The Arcanine is my fathers also, I just used it because I needed to pick up some medicine from Pewter city."

"Well I had better get going, I need to win a badge at the Cerulean gym, and then head to the next town." I said.

"Hey, you know what I'm heading to the next town to, why don't I join you. Besides if you get hurt again it would be good to have someone traveling with you." He said.

"Okay, besides I could use some company."
