Alex knows he has to reach the Pewter gym before the others do but he was way

behind them. As he ran in to forest he saw a boy. He walked over to Alex and

challenge for a battle. The boy said he was a bug catcher named John. Alex

sent out Charmander as John sent out a flying, purple colored bug. As Alex

points his pokedex at it as it beeps. Butterfree a flying bug type Pokemon,

in battle, it flaps its wings at high speed to release highly toxic dust into

the air. Then John said, "this Butterfree is level 20 and we may each use two

Pokemon." As Charmander use its ember attacks, Butterfree uses it sleep

powder. But the fire burns the powder and Butterfree was injured. Then

Butterfree uses its stun spore attack, but Charmander burned them to nothing.

So Butterfree hit it with a confusion attack and nearly knocking Charmander

out. But Charmander responds quickly and uses ember until finally Butterfree

fainted. Charmander have now been level 10 because of the hard battle. John

was not happy about it. So he sends out a Beedrill, "this Beedrill is level

13 but it can beat your weak Charmander." Charmander then uses his ember

attack all of a sudden and burn the Beedrill. Alex and John were speechless.

John was disappointed and gave Alex 70p. After the match they went the same

way, toward the exit. But as they were walking they heard someone laughing

evilly. John doesn't look very happy, but Alex was curious at who it was. "

Allow us to introduce ourselves"

" To protect the world from devastation"" To denounce the evils of truth and

love"" To extend our reach to the stars above" Then a boy and girl appeared."

Jessie"" James" " Team Rocket blast off in the speed of light"" Surrender now

or prepare to fight!"" Meowth, that's right."" I won't give my Pokemon to

you," said John. " Then take this." " Go PokeBall" they both said together.

Then two Pokemon appeared. "Nidoran" they said together, before Alex could

use his PokeDex. They attack them. So Alex sent out Sandshrew while John

sends out a wormlike bug. "Caterpie a bug Pokemon. Its short feet are tipped

with suction pads that enable it to tirelessly climb slopes and walls," said the PokeDex "You think that thing can finish us," Jessie said. Nidoran female quickly did a

scratch on Caterpie while Nidoran male did a horn attack on Sandshrew. Then

suddenly Caterpie evolved into a green moon shaped Pokemon. Metapod a bug

Pokemon, this Pokemon is vulnerable to attack while its shell is soft,

exposing its weak and tender body. "Metapod use your harden attack now" John

yelled. Metapod's body seems to glow a bit then stop. Then Nidoran female's

scratch almost broke its own claws. Nidoran female yelps in pain as Jessie

returned her. Nidoran male look angry and tackle Metapod but again it got

hurt and yelp in pain. He was also return. They both left a rose as they

escape in their Meowth shaped air-balloon. Then as Alex return Sandshrew and

turn around to see John have disappeared. So Alex walks away but he couldn't

find his way until he saw a sign. As he got closer to it a pack of Pidgeys,

Alex then throws out his Squirtle. "Squirtle use your tackle now." Squirtle

then sink his head, arms, and legs into its shell and start spinning toward

the Pidgeys. But he only hit one of them, the Pidgey looked hurt so Alex

throws a pokeball at it. It shook for a long time but it stopped. As Alex pick

it up another bird fly above him. It looks meaner so Alex threw Charmander

into the air. It landed on the bird and start breathing fire at it. As it

came closer to Alex he pointed the PokeDex at it. Spearow a bird pokemon this

pokemon eats bugs in grassy areas. Spearow has to flap its short wings at

high speed to stay airborne. It looks like it was about to scream but Alex

throws a pokeball at it. This time it stop when it fell on the floor.

Charmander also fall but Alex catches it first. As Alex continues walking he

hears a sound. As he walks closer to the sound a Caterpie was battling a

Weedle. While a Beedrill was battling a Butterfree. After some time all four

pokemon was tired. So to catch them by surprise Alex threw two pokeballs.

Both hit the Weedle and the Caterpie. Then the ball containing Weedle

disappeared. Alex was about to leave when he notices dozens of Caterpies,

Weedles, Butterfrees, and Beedrills. They all looked mad. Alex threw out the

pokeball that have Rattata. Rattata jumped out and uses a quick attack. It

made several of the bugs faint. Then Rattata did a tackle on some and they

also fainted. But a Beedrill hit Rattata with fury attack. Rattata dropped

and fainted. Alex returned it and ran. The bugs were behind him, Alex ran and

ran until he dropped. He was trip by a box. It was labeled TM #28. He points

his PokeDex at it and it starts telling him about the box. TM#28 a technical

machine this can teach a ground type Pokemon the attack dig. Alex thought a

bit and teaches it to Sandshrew. Then he told it to dig underground.

Sandshrew obeyed and dug a hole. Alex crawled in with Sandshrew. Alex looks

up to see the bugs went by and then climbs back up. Alex ran and making sure

no bugs was still behind him. Then he saw the exit. He went outside and ran

toward Pewter City.
