Chapter VIII- Route #6 and the Fishing Guru
We Roller Bladed all the way on route #5 and through the underground tunnel
which was connected to route #6. When we got on to route #6 Erika, me, Pikachu and
Charmeleon stopped for a rest by a pond. We took off our Roller Blades and socks, and
soaked our feet in the water.
"I got an idea!" I said.
"What?" Erika said looking at me.
"How about we fish for a while? I bet there are all sorts of water pokemon in this pond!"
"That's great! But where are we going to find a fishing rod?"
"Did I hear some one say, fishing?" An old man oproched us and sat down between us,
ignoring Pikachu and Charmeleon, who were growling at him.
"Pikachu! Charmeleon! Knock it off." I said, and moved over so he could sit down.
"Who are you?" Erika asked.
"You can call me the fishing guru! I travel all over the world selling my fishing supplies.
When I was on my way to Vermillion City, and I heard you two girls I had to stop." He
said and put the box he was carrying on his lap.
"It would be nice if we could fish, but we don't have any place to put fishing rods." I said
and watched him open the box.
"No problem, no problem! I come across tons of trainers who have the same problem you
do. That's why I have invented the Super rod! You can fold it up into a 4 by 4 box and
store it where ever!" He pulled out two of the boxes, one red, and one green; one for
Erika and one for me.
"That's terrific! How does it work?" Erika asked and watched as he opened the red box.
"All you have to do, is unfold it like this, and attach the line and lure! It's all set!" He said
and did exactly what he told us to do. "Here, you try it!" He handed me the green box. I
opened it and unfolded the black rod, then attached the line that came in it, and he gave
me two lures, a hook and fish-like squishy thing. I attached on the hook and asked,
"Now what do I do?"
"You're all set kid! Now all you need is a pond!" He said and chuckled. He handed the
other rod and box to Erika, and we both threw the line in.
"I'll tell you girls what; If you can catch something in five minutes, I'll let ya pay half
price, if ya don't, you'll still get coupons for 20% off! How's that sound?" He said and
closed his large box.
"That sounds like a deal!" I said and sat waiting. A few seconds later, Erika got a bite.
"Hey Marcy, I got something!" Erika said and pulled on the line. She gave it one good
pull, and out flew a Shellder!
"All right a Sellder! Pikachu go!" Erika yelled and threw out his pokeball.
"PIKA!" *Yes!* he yelled and sprang at the Shellder.
"Pikachu! Use your Mega Kick!" Pikachu swung it's foot around and knocked the
shellder, cracking part of it's shell off.
"SHELLDER!" *OUCHHHH!* It turned around and clamped on to Pikachu's tail, which
caused him to run around in circles of pain.
"Pikachu, use your Thunderbolt!" Erika yelled, adn Pikachu stopped running, then blast a
bolt of lightning, frying the Shellder attached to his tail. "All right! Pokeball, go!" She
yelled and captured the Shellder with ease.
"That was great! You still got 2 more minutes!" He said in excitment. Just then, I felt a
tug on my line.
"I know what this is!" I pulled it out of the water, it was exactly what I had hoped for.
"No way!!!" Erika yelled, and watched as I pulled an imense Gyrados out of the water.
"Oh my Gosh!" The man yelled and slowly crawled away from the pond.
"Pikachu! Use your agility, then a Thunder Wave!" I yelled and dropped the rod.
"PIKA!!" He ran around the Gyrados, and as she tried to watch, she became confused.
"Now Pikachu, Thunder Wave!" I yelled and watched as Pikachu jumped into the air, and
launched a massive wave of thunder, that instantly K.O. the Gyrados.
"Great Job Pikachu! Pokeball go!" I threw the pokeball at it and captured it easily.
"That was fantastic girls! I'm impressed by your skills. Keep the rods for free! Just
promise you'll put them to good use!" The Guru said getting up.
"We promise!" We both said and waved good-bye as he walked off to Vermillion City.
"Hey, look!" I said as the pokeballs disappeared.
"They were probobly transfered to Blaine." Erika said as she dried off her feet and put her
roller blades back on.
"Well, that's good to know. Maybe we should call him when we get to Vermillion to
make sure he recived them." I said as I put my blades back on.
"All right!" Erika said and stood up with the help of Charmeleon.
We skated past some other trainers having battles and even one person who had a
Pidgeot. It was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen. It had lond beautiful hair that was
from the top of it's eyes, to more than half-way down it's back. It was red adn yellow
streeked. It's wings were imense, adn looked as if they were as long as my bedroom.
When it flew up to do a Whirlwind, it's wings beet togther gracefully, and made huge
gusts of wind, that blew away his opponents Nidorino. It was an amazing Bird.
