Ashleigh Blueheart Book I: Kanto I CHOOSE YOU!!!

Chapter 03: Journey to Viridian!

*

Ashleigh had released Eevee and they were sitting under a tree for some rest. They had just had a big Pokemon battle! Ashleigh began petting Eevee.

"Eevee." The Pokemon cooed out. Ashleigh smiled as the dog Pokemon walked on her and sat down on her lap. Ashleigh could tell it was half asleep and half awake so she gently stroked its neck and spoke.

"You know what? I think I should give you a nickname." Eevee's head turned to look at her. "But I don't know what to name you!" She said.

"Eevee!" The Eevee said excitedly because it knew that it was getting a true name!

"Well, you are a boy… right?" She asked as she lifted his leg. "WHOA! Yep! Well!" She giggled a little and the Eevee licked her hand.

"Well, raise your paw when you want the name. Okay?" The Eevee nodded and stopped licking her hand.

"Don? James? David? Hmm… Dusty? Sandy?" Eevee had raised its paw. "So you want Sandy?" The Eevee shook its head.

"Dusty?" Eevee barked and jumped up, he began licking her face. "Okay!!! I'll name you Dusty! Well, Dusty! I think it's been a while so let's get going. I want to get to Viridian City before dark, and the sun is already setting!" 

She stood up and returned Dusty. She then began walking towards the Route. She looked out at it in awe! It was a twisty route with tons of places for Pokemon to be hiding. She looked at all the tall grass patches and there were some trees, but nothing really else. She entered the route, prepared for what will come next! She walked a little while in, and then became unsatisfied because no Pokemon had popped out.

Ashleigh continued walking, her eyes fixed on her shoes. She then tripped and fell flat on her face. She heard a really loud noise and then she lifted herself up and saw what was looking at her, it was a bird, a bird Pokemon. It cawed loudly, so loudly that Ashleigh had to cover her ears. She then took her Pokedex out and pointed it at the bird.

"Pidgey, a common in forests and woods. If flops its wings at ground level to kick up blinding sand. It is one foot tall and it weighs four pounds. It evolves into Pidgeotto after some training." Dexter said. Ashleigh smiled, her lips stretching from "ear to ear". She took out at Pokeball and threw it at the Pidgey. The Pidgey continued shrieking while it knocked the Pokeball about 5 yards away.

"Oh! Yeah! I forgot! You have to weaken them first!" Ashleigh said as she took Dusty's Pokeball out.

"GO DUSTY!" She cried out as she threw the Pokeball. The Pokeball hit the ground and then suddenly it burst open and Dusty stood there.

"EEVEE!" It cried out as.

"Okay, Dusty! I want you to attack it with a Tackle!" She said to her dog Pokemon.

"Eve!" It cried out. The Eevee charged at the Pidgey and then jumped threw the air, hitting the cawing bird Pokemon. The Pidgey fell to the ground and then got back up in a matter of seconds. It cried out angrily and then jumped up a little off the ground.

The Pidgey fluttered there and then started flapping its wings very fast! Soon sand got into Dusty's and Ashleigh's eyes. Even though she couldn't see and Ashleigh knew Eevee couldn't see she had to trust him.

"Dusty! I know you can't see! But I want you to Growl and then I want you to use Tail Whip!" Ashleigh yelled out as she wiped her eyes trying to get the sand out of them.

"Eevee!" Dusty cried out to tell her it understands. Dusty started barking and growling at the enraged bird Pokemon. Ashleigh could hear the Pidgey becoming frightened. Ashleigh then heard a whipping type noise and suddenly she was able to see again because she had wiped all the sand out. She turned around and saw Dusty trying to whip the Pidgey with its tail.

"Dusty! Jump up and then spin, and hit it with a Tail Whip!"

"EEVEE!" The Dog Pokemon called out as it jumped into the air, spinning around three times, all three times hitting the Pidgey in the stomach. Eevee then fell to the ground and the Pidgey flew into a tree. Ashleigh sprinted over to her Pokeball, picked it up, and threw it at the Pidgey. The Pidgey had been captured!

"YES! DUSTY!!! WE DID IT!!!" She cried out as she ran over to her Eevee. She began wiping the sand out of Eevee teary eyes. She then hugged it when Dusty could see again. Dusty began licking her cheek Ashleigh smiled. She then took Dusty and put him on her shoulder, she laughed as it tickled her ear with its tongue. Ashleigh still had the dog on her shoulder as she picked up the Pokeball again. She hugged it tightly and then shrunk it and put it on her belt, along with Dusty's Pokeball, and the 4 other ones. She then put Dusty on the ground and played with him. She ran around and climbed trees, every second the dog Pokemon chased after her, barking happily. She then breathed heavily and looked around.

"Oh no! It's dark already!" She returned Dusty into its Pokeball. She then began to run, she ran faster and faster as she heard scary noises. She then suddenly arrived at Viridian! She yelled out with joy. She then ran into the Pokemon Center, when she arrived she was out of breath.

A woman with pink hair and white clothes came up to her.

"Wow! You're out late! I'm Nurse Joy, my sisters and I run all the Pokemon Centers around Kanto." The girl said.

"Oh… huff-huff." She breathed out. "N-nice to meet you! Puff-huff. I'm A-Ashleigh Bluheart form Pallet Town!" She said quickly.

"Oh, you must be tired. Here you got sit in a chair and I'll bring you some hot soup and some hot chocolate."

"Th-thank you!" Ashleigh said as she gave Nurse Joy a smile. "How much money do you want?" Ashleigh asked her pulling out her wallet.

"Oh! None! Giving tired Pokemon Trainers some food and drink and letting them stay here is free. And so is healing Pokemon, oh! You have Pokeballs! Are any of your Pokemon hurt or fainted?" She asked as she gazed at Ashleigh's Pokeballs that are on her belt.

"Oh! Dusty, my Eevee battled a Pidgey and got sand in its eyes, but I got most of it out, he's probably tired though. And this Pidgey I caught is probably close to fainting." Ashleigh said as she put her wallet up.

"Okay, hand the Pokeballs to Chansey, my assistant, as I go and get your food and drink." She said as a pink Pokemon walked up to Ashleigh. Nurse Joy walked off and Ashleigh took out her Pokedex and pointed it at the Chansey.

"Chansey, a rare and elusive Pokemon that is said to bring happiness to those who manage to get it. They also help out Nurse Joy in the Pokemon Centers. So far, no evolutions have been found for Chansey. Chansey is three feet and seven inches tall, it weighs about seventy-six pounds." Dexter said.

Ashleigh smiled at the pink Pokemon with a little egg in its pouch that is on its stomach. She handed over her two Pokeballs, the one with Dusty and the other with Pidgey.

"Chansey!" It said in a high-pitched voice. The Chansey walked off and Ashleigh sat down in a chair. She looked around and saw other trainers, some asleep on the floor in sleeping bags, others drinking and eating, and others talking.

After about ten minutes, Nurse Joy came back.

"Here you are!" She said as she hand Ashleigh some soup and hot cocoa. Now, you eat up and then you can go to sleep. Here's a sleeping bag," She said as she laid down a blue sleeping bag right in front of Ashleigh.

"You can keep it, make sure that you get sleep! A Pokemon Journey is long and tiring!" She said. Ashleigh smiled at her and then thanked her.

About thirty minutes later, Ashleigh was asleep on the floor, full from food, and feeling warm from the hot cocoa. She slept peacefully…
