***Dusitn now has a Chikorita, just to remind you ;), well here is Ch16, remember I'm gonna take a SHORT break to write 2 new digimon chapters, but I will return shortly***

~What a Wooper!~

"I can't believe I caught a Chikorita," Dustin said, looking back on the previous pokemon catch, the gang still traveled down the dirt road on their way, hopefully to Azalea Town, "My team is filling up!"

"It sure is," Jen said, "Dustin you know that after you catch six pokemon, other pokemon you catch will be transported to Professor Elm."

"O yeah," Dustin remembered, "And I can get them by contacting him at a Pokemon Center right?"

"Yes," Shane answered, "Just where is Azalea Town?!" Shane was getting mad, "I don't see it anywhere on this map!" Shane scanned the map agian.

"Sh...." Jen said, everyone became silent, "I here something....a stream," Jen listened closely and heard a gentle spring flowing.

"I here it too," Dustin said, "Come on it's gotta be close," Dustin statred to run aftre the flowing water sound, Jen followed.

"But..." Shane didn't care, he started to follow too.

"Look!" Dustin said, the made it through the trees and came to a small, shallow, flowing stream, with rocks scattered in the stream, and on top of one of the rocks was a small blue pokemon.

"Wooper," Devon came on, "This pokemon likes to swim in shallow water, Wooper is often playful and cheerful, however it has been known to fight."

"A WOOPER!" Jen said, coming along the pokemon, Shane quickly trailed behind her.

"I'm gonna catch it," Dustin grabbed his pokeball containing Totodile, "GO TOTODILE!" Dustin commanded, throwing the pokeball and summoning Totodile.

"DILE!" Totodile hopped being freed from the pokeball.

"WATER GUN!" Dustin shouted, pointing at Wooper.

"DILE!" Totodile ran near the stream and sprayed a gush of water at Wooper.

"WOO!!!" Wooper screamed, falling off the rock and into the stream, "WOO!" it jumped back on the rock and blasted a blast of water at Totodile.

"JUMP UP!" Dustin commanded, Totodile quickly obeyed and jumped up, dodging the water attack from Wooper, "SCRATCH!"

"DILE!" Totodile jumped into the air and came near Wooper.

"WOO!" Wooper jumped to another rock when Totodile slashed the air, "WOO WOO WOO!" Wooper was laughing loud, "WOOPER!" it sprayed Totodile agian.

"Return," Dustin withdrew Totodile, "GO TEDDIURSA!" Dustin threw the pokeball sealing the bear.

"RU!" Teddiursa came out of the pokeball cheerfully.

"FURY SWIPES!" Dustin commanded, Teddiursa chanted and jumped into the air.

"WOOPER!" Wooper said, jumping to another rock.

"FAINT ATTACK!" Dustin smiled.

"TED!" Teddiursa fainted into the air and reappeared behind Wooper, "RU!" Teddiursa slashed Wooper hard.

"Woo..." Wooper sadly cried.

"Now's my chance," Dustin grabbed an empty pokeball.

"HOLD IT!" a boy around Dustin's age said, running out from the forest on the opposite side of thje stream Dustin was on, he had light blue hair, and very skinny, "DON'T TOUCH THE WOOPER!"

"Wha?" Dustin said, "I weakened it, it's a fair catch," Dustin argued with the boy.

"NO I WANT IT!" the boy said.

"NO!" Dustin said, looking to Wooper, it wasn't there anymore, "Huh?" Dustin said, "Where did Wooper go?" Dustin looked back at the boy, "YOU MADE ME LOSE IT!"

"DID NOT!" the boy said.

"Return," Dustin returned Teddiursa, "I'LL FIND YOU!" Dustin ran down the stream some.

"WAIT!" Jen said, running behind him. Shane rolled his eyes and followed Jen.

"I WANT IT!" the boy said, running parallel to Dustin.

"WOOPER!" Dustin said, running fast, he reached the end of the stream with parted into a waterfall, "AAAHHHHHHHH!" Dustin yelled, he had fell off the land and was falling down, the rocks at the bottom didn't look to gentle, "CHIKORITA VINE WHIP!" Dustin threw the pokeball on the land.

"CHIKA!" Chikorita smiled coming out, "RITA!" Chikorita sent two vines down, lashing on to Dustin and pulling him up.

"Thanks buddy," Dustin said, Jen and Shane made it up to Dustin, "Wooper is gone."

"Don't worry," Shane said, "We need to get to Azalea Town anyways."

"HAHA!" the boy said across the stream, "WOOPER WILL BE MINE!"

"HEY!" Dustin was mad, "THAT WOOPER WOULD HAVE BEEN MINE!"

"YEAH RIGHT," the boy smiled, "WOOPER WILL BE MINE, I'M THE BEST POKEMON TRAINER EVER!"

"WHATEVER!" Dustin shouted, "WHO ARE YOU?!"

"Willus," the boy responded, "WHO ARE YOU?!"

"DUSTIN!" he replied.

"What you say for a battle?" Willus asked, "On this stream..."

"Your on!" Dustin said, "How about one pokemon each?"

"FINE!" Willus said, throwing a pokeball into the water.

"Dustin seems mad," Jen said.

"Yep," Shane laughed, "That or he just likes to pokemon battle."

"WAG!" a small blue tadpole appeared on one of the rocks.

"A Poliwag, how cute!" Jen's eyes flashed, "I LOVE POLIWAG!"

"Chikorita GO!" Dustin commanded.

"CHIKA!" Chikorita jumped on one of the rocks.

Meanwhile, Ken and Kym were searching for a place to rest and get some water, "Hey Kym," Ken said, "Do you hear a stream?"

"Yeah," Kym replied, he heard the sound of flowing water, "LET'S GO!" she started to run, Ken followed her, they made it through some of the trees and saw Dustin, "Look it's the punk!"

"Yeah, and a Poliwag," Ken replied, "Let's steal it."

"Right," Kym laughed wickedly, "We'll get a Poliwag and that Chikorita, and the Larvitar!"

"EXCELLENT!" Ken grinned.

"VINE WHIP!" Dustin shouted, the battle had been slow, Chikorita dodge Poliwag's multiple water attacks.

"RITA!" two of Chikorita's seeds became vines and started to slash at Poliwag.

"UNDER WATER!" Willus said, Poliwag jumped into the shallow water, dogding the vines, "BODY SLAM!"

"WAG!" Poliwag jumped from out of the water at Chikorita.

"LEECH SEED!" Dustin roared, his voice echoed through the area.

"CHIKA!" Chikorita shot three seeds at Poliwag, landing on it's head and sprouting into vines, wrapping around Poliwag.

"WAG!" Poliwag chirped, the vines sucking the life right out of it.

"POLIWAG!" Willus said fearfully, "DEFENSE CURL!"

"WAG!" Poliwag tried to move but only got hurt more, it then fell down on one of the rocks, "Return," Willus said, the red beam sucking up Poliwag. "Good job...I guess....."

"Thanks," Dustin said, "Good job Chikorita," Dustin looked at Chikorita and smiled.

"Chika!" Chikorita cheered, then a net from the air picked up Chikorita, "CHIKA!" Chikorita was caught up in the net.

"WHA?!" Dustin looked up and saw Team Alpha's hot air baloon, "NOT THEM!"

"HAHA!" Kym laughed from the air, "WE GOT YOUR CHIKORITA!"

"CHIKORITA!" Dustin shouted, "GIVE IT BACK!"

"NEVER!" Ken laughed, "COME AND GET IT!" Ken looked at Kym, "Good thing the boss decided to forgive us."

"SPEAROW GO!" Shane summoned his bird pokemon, it chirped as it was summoned, "GO GET CHIKORITA!"

"ROW!" Spearow went to fly at Team Alpha's baloon when Ghastly appeared and blasted Spearow with a blast of purple.

"GOOD JOB GHASTLY!" Kym laughed as Ghastly dissapeared and reappeared behind her.

Willus grabbed a pokeball from behind his back, Willus was dresses in a pair of khaki shorts and a light blue shirt, "ZUBAT GO!"

"WOW A ZUBAT!" Shane said, returning Spearow, "ZUBAT ROCKS!"

"SUPER SONIC!" Willus commanded, Zubat screeched some and sent waves of echos and screeches.

"Ghas...." Ghastly faintly cried.

"STEEL WING!" Willus shouted from the ground. Zubat schreeched some and cut the net containing Chikorita with it's wings.

"CHIKORITA!" Dustin ran and caught the falling Chikorita before it hit the ground, "You ok Chikorita?"

"Rita," Chikorita chirped, glad to be back in Dustin's care.

"GO MAREEP!" Jen called out her Mareep, it baahed like a sheep when it came out of the pokeball, "THUNDER SHOCK THE BLIMP!"

"MAAAAAAAAAREEEEEEEEEPPPPPP!!!!!!" Mareep's body light up with sparks as it send a heavy blast of lightning at Team Alpha's air baloon.

"AAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!" Kym and Ken screamed together, Mareep's attack blew up the baloon and sent Team Alpha way into the air.

Willus skipped across the rocks and made it to the side Dustin was on, "Thanks Willus," Dustin said, "For getting back my Chikorita."

"No problem," Willus said, "I'm sorry about earlier, I was only thinking about me."

"It's ok," Dustin said, then Wooper appeared back on one of the rocks, "LOOK WOOPER!" Dustin pointed at the same Wooper.

"Well Dustin," Shane said, "Are you gonna catch it?"

"No," Dustin smiled, "I'm fine, Willus you can get it."

"You sure?" Willus asked, Dustin nodded, "OK!" Willus smiled, "ZUBAT USE SCREECH NOW!" Zubat flew in near Wooper and screeched a wicked sound.

"WOO!" Wooper was now in pain, it tried to use a water attack but couldnt even open it's mouth.

"ZUBAT WE GOT IT," Willus grabed a pokeball, "MEGA DRAIN!" Willus shouted, Zubat landed on the injured Wooper and stuck it's fangs in Wooper's skin.

"WOO!" Wooper cried in pain as Zubat continued to suck the life out of it.

"POKEBALL GO!" Willus threw a pokeball at Wooper, it sucked it in, it wiggled once. "Come on," Willus grinded his teeth, it wiggled twice, and then a third time, the light and sound proved of the catch, "YES I GOT WOOPER!" Willus jumped up and down.

"Good job," Jen and Dustin said together, walking up to him.

"Thanks Dustin," Willus said, holding his pokeball containing his newly caught Wooper.

"No thank you," Dustin said, "If it wasn't for you Team Alpha would still have my Chikorita." The gang and Willus had to go there seperate ways.

"Where are you headed?" Willus asked.

"Azalea Town," Dustin responded, "You?"

"I'm gonna search this area some more," Willus replied with a smile, "Maybe one day we'll meet agian, at the Pokemon Leauge."

"SURE!" Dustin said with excitment, thinking of the Pokemon Leauge.

"I'll beat you then," Willus smiled playfully.

"Whatever," Dustin replied.

"Here we go..." Shane sighed. "We better get going if we plan on making it to Azalea Town soon, bye Willus," Shane said, walking off.

"Gotta go," Jen waved good bye, "Good luck!"

"Later dude," Dustin smiled, "Can't wait til our next battle."

"For sure," Willus started walking back into the woods, waving good bye to Dustin, Jen, and Shane.

"You met a new rival," Jen said smiling, "And a tough one," she gigled some.

"And a new friend," Dustin smiled back as they continued their way on to Azalea Town.

***Well that was it, be back SOON with some new chapters(including the SECOND GYM BATTLE!) please review :)***
