Begin Chapter 3: Nathan is Saved! Can he Talk to Pokemon?
Disclaimer: Blah blah blah look on Chapter 1 if you want this.
Nathan groaned as he woke up. As he opened his eyes, he noticed a Pidgey looking at him from above. Nathan scampered away and hid behind a bush. However, the Pidgey flew in front of him. Nathan ran back, but all he succeeded in was running into a tree.
Taking this chance, the Pidgey flew up to him.
"(What are you running away for?)" Nathan screamed.
"(No, no! Calm down!)"
"Who...who said that?" queried Nathan.
"(I did.)"
"Oh, that REALLY helps, Mr. Anonymous!"
"(Mrs.)"
"Mr., Mrs., I don't care! Who are you?" "(Why, I'm the Pidgey.)"
Nathan shook himself to make sure he was awake. "Oh, you're the PIDGEY! Why didn't you say so? So, Mr.-"
"(Mrs.)"
"Ah. Mrs. Talking Pidgey, who's your trainer?"
"(I don't have a trainer.)"
"Oh. Good for you. You may come out now, George."
"(Who's George?)"
"You are. I'm not falling for the Talking Pidgey thing, George."
"(Who is George?)"
"Very funny, George. You know you're too young to get a pokemon."
"(WHO IS GEORGE?)"
"That's enough, George. I'm not fooled."
"(I am not George.)"
"(Who is this "George" person?)"
"Ah, changing your voice. Good joke, George. Now stop."
"(I am not George.)"
"(Who is George?)"
"(Are you guys having a problem with him?)"
"(Yes. He thinks I am some 'George' person.)"
"(I would still like to know who George is.)"
"Okay, George. That's enough. You know you're my little brother. Now stop it."
"(But wouldn't a little brother not be allowed to come onto Route 29?)"
This caused Nathan to stop and think about it. He realized the voice was right.
"Well...if you're not George, who are you?"
"(I am Mrs. Falcon. My first name is Wilma.)"
"(Mr. Falcon, first name Fred.)"
"(You named me, Nathan.)"
"What? I didn't name...unless...you mean..."
A green head with a spike on top of it appeared on top of what looked to be a nest.
"Brian?"
"(Yes.)"
"Okay. You expect me to believe I can understand your Pokemon speech?"
"(Yes.)"
Nathan pinched himself. It hurt. "Well, can you prove it?"
"(Look around.)"
Nathan spent about ten minutes searching around the tree.
"(Well? Is that enough proof?)"
"Yeah, um, sure. So, how can I tell who's saying what?
"(It should be obvious, once you know our personalities.)"
"And how will I learn your personalities?"
"(That's YOUR problem.)"
"(Oh, come on, Fred. Be nice to the boy.)"
"(Like I should be nice to the Spearow?)"
"(Well...)"
"(Come off it, woman. How many times have I told you? It's a bird-eat- bird place, and I, for one, intend to be the bird eating.)"
"(Fred...)"
"I don't mean to break up this, well, interesting and thought-provoking 'discussion,' but how am I supposed to get to Cherrygrove City?"
"(The Spearow know the way.)"
"(Yeah. Your dead corpse will be very happy in Cherrygrove City.)"
"(Fred!)"
"Okay, okay. Does anyone else know how to get to Cherrygrove City?"
"(Well...we think Mikey might.)"
"Who is Mikey?"
"(You see, a while ago, my husband and I found a baby Doduo being attacked by a Spearow. Well, we saved the Doduo, and decided to raise him as our own. We named him Mikey.)"
"Ah. Wait a minute, what happened after I fainted?"
"(Well, you see Nathan, these Pidgey just happened to be flying by after you fainted. They flew you here.)"
"Okay. May I see Mikey?"
"(Sure. Watch out though: he doesn't take well to strangers. He won't let Brian near him.)"
Nathan climbed the tree up to the nest and saw a Doduo. Nathan put his hand out to pet the Doduo, but the Doduo nipped Nathan. Nathan jerked his hand back and looked at the wound. A drop of blood went down his arm.
"I guess he doesn't take well to strangers. Oh, well. If Mikey won't let me pet him, I guess I'll have to find a Spearow. Who's with me?"
"(I'll come.)"
"(No.)"
"(I'm not sure. Do I recall being called a 'waste of good rocks?')"
"(He called you that?)"
"(Among other things.)"
"(Like what?)"
"Let's not go there, shall we? Does it really matter? I have to get to Cherrygrove City! So, Brian, are you coming?"
"(As long as you don't send me back to Professor Elm's after you catch a Pokemon.)"
"Um...sure."
"(Do I have your word on that?)"
"Yeah, of course!"
"(Well...okay.)"
"Fred? You coming?"
"(I quote, "I intend to be the bird eating.")"
"(That's not a quote, Fred. You didn't say "I" before it.)"
"(Not the point, Wilma. I do NOT want to be Spearow food. So, I'll stay here and guard Mikey.)"
"Well, come on, Wilma and Brian!"
"(Yeah. So, what do you want on your tombstone? Thought of any catchy mottos?)"
As Nathan, Brian, and Wilma walked away, Wilma whispered to Nathan, "(That is why we don't have any real children.)"
