Pokemon: The Road to Victory
Chapter 3. The Girl He Met in Viridian
-------------------------------------------------
After traveling to Pallet town with Professor Oak, Hideo now must journey across the Kanto region and win a total of 8 badges to participate in the Pokemon League. But that in itself is not enough for our hero, Hideo. Unlike most starting trainers, he wishes to compete in a tournament known as the Pokemon World League where only the best trainers do battle. It's a competition that takes place every five years in different places around the world. Hideo has high hopes and wishes to see these dreams become reality and so now we join him again as he makes his way to his first city, Viridian.
"Okay, right over this hill." Hideo said while eyeing his Pokemon Navigator.
"Ughh... ughh ... ughh' Ketcha fell over, slipped off his back pack, and rolled onto his back.
"Hey what's wrong?"
"Can't....take....another....step" Ketcha said while taking deep breaths.
"You're going to have to learn to keep up the pace. We won't be able to stop all the time because your tired. It's just about to get dark." Hideo said while reaching back and taking out a water bottle. He went over to his bro and gave him some water.
"C'mon, we're about a mile away."
"A mile! Ughh!!" Ketcha fell back again.
"I'm going to look up ahead." Hideo said as he ran up the hill in front of them. He stood atop of the hilltop.
"We're there already. Down the hill is the city." Hideo yelled.
-----------------------------------
Carrying both his backpack and his little brother on his back Hideo made it to the Pokemon Center just in time before collapsing. Nurse Joy walked over to them.
"Usually, Pokemon come here to get fixed up but I think you need some fixing of your own." She said that as she watched Hideo sweat and breath hard.
"Where did you guys come from?"
"P-P-P ahhh" Hideo fell over onto a couch.
"We came from Pallet Town."
"Pallet Town huh? If you're going to walk all that way in one day you're going to have to learn to walk without tiring." She looked at Hideo as he looked at Ketcha because he had just told him the same thing just about 20 minutes ago.
"You guys look tired and hungry. I'll get you something to eat from the cafe."
"Food!" Ketcha was happy. Hideo was tired from carrying everything including his brother and couldn't say a word.
-----------------------------------------
Hideo scarfed down the food he was given and same did Ketcha. They both ate like pigs, like they had never eaten before.
"You guys sure were hungry."
"Yeah yeah!" Ketcha said with a mouthful. Hideo looked over as he saw a girl walk into the Pokemon Center. She had firey red hair that was tied into a ponytail in the back. She had wore glasses but had goggles (the kind that welders use) at her neck. She wore a long shirt but had no sleeves. Around her upper arms were bands with her pokeballs attached to them. Hideo watched her as she talked to Nurse Joy but couldn't hear what they were saying. He took a drink of his soda and placed his cup back onto the table. He looked back over at the girl who Nurse Joy had now handed a tray with a pokeball over to her. Hideo figured out that she must've been picking up a pokemon she had left there. She thanked Nurse Joy and then began to walk through the automatic sliding doors. Hideo threw his napkin onto the table and ran towards the doors.
"Hey! Hey! Girl!" He shouted. She turned around when she heard him.
"You talking to me?"
"Huff huff. Yeah." Hideo said.
"I know it's getting late but do you wanna battle?"
"It's not that late."
"Well, it's about to be nine o'clock.," Hideo said while looking at his watch, "That's pretty late to me."
"Really? I'm a night Noctowl so I don't get tired until it's very late. Are you from around here?"
"Actually no. My father and brother came to Pallet Town this morning from Littleroot town in the Hoenn Region."
"Hoenn Region!? Wow, that's pretty far away. Is it nice over there?"
"Well yeah I guess." Hideo said.
"That's cool. Well then bye." She began to walk off.
"Hey wait! What about our battle?" Hideo asked.
"Battle? Ohhh! The battle. Sorry. I tend to talk a lot and forget why people are even talking to me. I'm like Pyra just shut up already," she giggled to herself, "like I should right now." She began to walk away again.
"Pyra!" Hideo said out loud.
"Huh?" She turned around.
"That's your name right?"
"Yeah. What did you want again?"
"A....battle...." Hideo said.
"Oh yeah! Heh heh sorry. I'm so sorry." She walked over to him. "As you know I'm Pyra. Pyra Volcame . Fire pokemon are my game. What's your name?"
"Ooo nice job with rhyming heh heh. My name is Hideo and this is my actual first battle as an official pokemon trainer."
"This is your first battle? You must be what 16, 17?"
"Almost 16."
"Then how can this be your first battle?"
"It's a long story" Hideo said.
"Well, that can wait for later. I guess I'll just have to go easy on ya then huh?!" She threw off her shirt/jacket and revealed her red tank top. She took off her glasses and placed them in her pocket. She let down her hair which now went into two different directions. She took snatched a pokeball from her arm band.
"Are ya ready?" She smirked.
Hideo zipped up his vest. Put his hand through his hair and rolled up his sleeves. He grabbed a pokeball from his belt.
"Yeah"
"Alright. Then let's GO!!" Pyra threw her pokeball into the air. The light from the pokeball lighted up the parking lot they were in. A Charmeleon popped up from the ball.
"A Charmeleon huh? I'd never see one those if I were still in Hoenn." Hideo pressed the button on his ball.
"Wingull, Go!" The light appeared again and a small Wingull flew into the air.
"So ya think ya have a type advantage don'cha? Don't count my pokemon out just yet! Charmeleon ember!" From its mouth came a roaring streak of flames.
"Wingull dodge it!" Wingull did a barrel roll in the air and dodged it.
"Wingull supersonic!"
"Charmeleon dig!!" She ordered. Charmeleon dug into the ground before the supersonic could do any effect.
"Dig? How could it use dig?" Hideo wondered, "Wingull watch out for it when it comes out!"
"Now!! Flamethrower!" A hole appeared under Wingull and a volcanic like fire came bellowing towards Wingull from below.
"Heh heh it's over for Wingull" Pyra giggled to herself.
"Wingull water gun!!" Hideo shouted. Wingull shot its water gun and overpowered the flamethrower. "Keep doing water gun!" Wingull came down closer to the hole and began spraying inside it, out of the other side of the hole Charmeleon came out with its eyes dazed and it knocked out.
"My Charmeleon!" Pyra called back her pokemon, "I thought you said this was your first battle?"
"I said it was my first 'Official' battle. I've battled many times before but not for victories. Only for training and practice."
"Huh! I see. Well, then why don't you practice on this!" Pyra took a pokeball from her other arm and threw it out.
"Come on out, Slugma!" Slugma began crawling aroung the asphalt and was already melting it.
"Another fire type. Alright then, Wingull Water gun!" Hideo pointed towards Slugma.
"Slugma, Rock Throw!" The asphalt surrounding Slugma uprooted and was started flying towards Wingull. The water gun hit the asphalt and had no affect on Slugma.
"Wingull fly away!" Wingull flapped its wings harder but the rocks came rushing towards it and it was hit and fell to the ground.
"Heh heh. Critical hit! Down and out!" Pyra smiled.
"Wingull return!" Wingull went back in its pokeball and he picked another pokeball from his belt. When he was about to throw it out he stopped.
"Wh-what's wrong?" Pyra asked.
"Nothing" Hideo smiled, put back his other pokeball, and reached for the special pokemon around his neck. He took off the pokeball and shouted.
"Pikachu, I choose you!" A yellow furry pokemon stood before them.
"Awww how cute! A Pikachu!" Pyra said.
"Well, Pikachu let's see if you still have that spunk from back when we first met." Hideo laughed.
"Well, regardless of how cute it is, a battles a battle. So with that being said, Slugma ember!"
"Pikachu dodge!" Pikachu ran across the parking lot.
"Slugma mudshot!" This time it didn't miss and hit Pikachu.
"Pika-" Pikachu yelled out in pain.
"Pikachu get up! C'mon!" Hideo coached.
"Pi-Pika!" Pikachu got on all fours.
"It's weakened finish it off!" Pyra ordered Slugma to charge toward Pikachu.
"Pikachu thundershock!!" Hideo threw his hand into the air and Pikachu's eyes changed from beaten to confident.
"Pika-chu!"
"That won't have any effect. Electric types cant affect my Slug-" Pyra was interrupted as her Slugma fainted.
"What the-? How did you?" Pyra was dumbfounded, "Slugma take a lap, I mean a nap."
Hideo ran up to Pikachu and picked him up cause he was so happy.
"AHHH!!!" Pikachu zapped him again.
"Looks like that Pikachu still needs some time to get used to you." Pyra mentioned.
"Pikachu return" Hideo was burnt to a crisp but still had the energy to make Pikachu return to its ball.
"Say where are ya staying tonite?" Pyra asked.
"At this Pokemon Center."
"Oh yeah? Me too. I'll be back later but before curfew. We can talk. Maybe you can tell me that long story about you and Pokemon training." Pyra smiled. She put on her shirt and walked away with her hands behind her back.
"She looked so girly, yet she seems all too deadly at the same time. Oh well." Hideo began to walk back inside the Pokemon Center when Ketcha ran outside.
"Wow, that was an awesome battle! How did you get that Pikachu to be so poweful?"
"Heh heh I don't know really," he placed his hand behind his head, "it was like we were one for a moment. I knew what it was thinking and it knew what I was thinking. Kinda weird. Well, anyway. I think it's about time youuuuu went to bed." Hideo picked up Ketcha and carried him inside.
"Are you going to bed yet?" Ketcha asked.
"Oh me? Not yet. I'm waiting for someone."
------------------------------------------
Well, another day another battle for our hero, Hideo. From my eyes view it seems like he likes Pyra but then again he's afraid of her cause she's so weird. She's really innocent when outside of a battle but inside one, she's deadly. Well, for this moment we will leave Hideo to his thoughts after his first battle as a trainer. To be Continued.....
