Begin Chapter 2: Nathan's Anger! Larvitar Deserted?
Disclaimer: Do I have to do this again? Just look to Chapter One for the disclaimer; nothing new has happened.
Nathan took a long, hard look at the pokeball in his hand.
"Well," Professor Elm began, "why don't you send him out?"
"I'll do it later," Nathan replied. He pocketed the pokeball and left.
When Nathan was outside Prof. Elm's laboratory, he sent out Larvitar.
Larvitar was a green pokemon, with a horn on its head and flat spike- like things coming out of its behind. It had some red spots, the most notable one on its stomach. Its red eyes looked at Nathan wonderingly.
"Okay, Larvitar," Nathan began, when suddenly Larvitar looked sadder.
"What, you want a nickname?" Nathan queried. Larvitar nodded.
"Okay. I'll call you; let's see...Brian. Okay?" Brian nodded again.
"Well, Brian," Nathan began again, "listen up: I did not want you as a starting pokemon. When I catch another pokemon, you're going back to Professor Elm's lab. So, don't get your hopes up. Let's just go to Cherrygrove City, buy some pokeballs, and catch a Pidgey or something. Let's go."
Nathan tried to return Brian to its pokeball, but it jumped away from the red beam.
"Huh? Oh well, makes no difference to me. Come on."
Brian refused to move.
"COME ON, you lump of coal! Let's MOVE."
Brian, once again, refused to follow Nathan.
"What is wrong with you, you damn rock? Pokemon are meant for battling, and if you don't follow me, you won't get to battle!"
Brian turned its back on Nathan.
"You worthless pile of gravel! Okay, you know what? I don't have to take this."
Nathan tried to kick Brian, but all he got was a stubbed toe.
As Nathan tried to overcome the pain, he told Brian, "Look, you waste of good rocks! Let's make a deal. If you come with me and help me catch a pokemon, I'll...let's see...give you food. How about it?"
Brian proceeded to use Sand Attack on Nathan.
"All right, fine. Who needs you? I'll just throw pebbles at a pokemon. Will do more good than you ever could."
Nathan left Brian behind and headed onto Route 29.
Nathan walked through Route 29, watching other trainers battle with their pokemon. He saw matches such as Cyndaquil vs. Drowzee, Bulbasaur vs. Gligar, and Poliwag vs. Rattata. He tried to ignore them as he continued to walk through the Route. He eventually got to an area where there were no other trainers, and he sat down, as he was tired. He took out a sandwich and started to eat it, when he heard some feet running. He looked around, but saw no pokemon. He continued to eat his sandwich when he heard the feet again, except louder. He tried to eat the sandwich, but he kept looking around. Suddenly, he saw ten (!) Rattata jump out of a bush and run toward him! Thinking quickly, Nathan threw the sandwich to the Rattata, but it hardly satisfied them. He threw pebbles at them, but didn't manage to knock out any of them. He started running, but the Rattata were faster.
He thought he was going to die when he heard a screech of pain. Turning around, he saw one of the Rattata knocked out, and the other nine were looking at...Brian! Brian proceeded to use Rock Slide, sending a large number of rocks rolling at the remaining Rattata! The Rattata tried to escape, but none of them could withstand the onslaught, and all of them fainted.
During this, all Nathan could do was stand there with a shocked look on his face. He had called Brian worthless, a lump of coal, and even a waste of good rocks, yet Brian still came and saved his life! Nathan tried to comprehend this, but his head started hurting. Wait...that wasn't from the comprehending. One of the Rattata had managed to move out of the way and was tackling Nathan's head! Nathan tried to grab the Rattata so he could throw it, but the Rattata just jumped out of the way. Brian ran up to save Nathan, but by the time Brian used Tackle to knock out the remaining Rattata, Nathan had already succumbed to the pain and he himself fainted.
