Chapter 2 Goldeen
You left Goldeen back there! Hello, you left Goldeen! The Pokedex's attempt to tell Stephen were futile.
"YOU
MEAN TURN LEFT AT THAT THERE GOLDEEN STREET, POKEDEX?"
No.
"OKAY,
SO TURN LEFT GOLDEEN STREET I DO?"
Right.
"I IS
RIGHT?"
No! I mean turn right!
"BUT SAID YOU..."
Never
mind what I said, Goldeen is back in Carnage City!
"NO IT ARE
NOT! GOLDEEN STREET RIGHT HERE AT ROUTE 44! SMART ALECK POKEDEX!"
Stephen turned the Pokedex off. Later that night, they set up camp. While everyone else was sleeping, Squirtle and the Pokedex agreed that they had to stay together in order to keep Goldeen and Stephen out of trouble. So, Squirtle ran back to Carnage City and fetched Goldeen, who had been healed by Nurse Joy and was sleeping.
The next morning, we see our hero, (Squirtle, I mean Goldeen the Squirtle,) get up and yawn. He realizes he is not with his partners, and that he is in a cage with a primitive lock. He unlocks it and sees a Pidgey and a Rattata in a cage. He sees a Bulbasaur out the window, which jumps off of the helicopter. Helicopter! Squirtle realizes that he is in a helicopter being driven by Team Rocket. Out of curiosity, Squirtle decides to jump off. However, beforehand, he grabs Pidgey and Rattata's cage. He tumbles down to a trampoline. Quickly, he throws out three Dittos into the helicopter, and tells them to transform into Pidgey, Rattata, and a cage. Squirtle always had extra Dittos in his shell. He calculated the proper angles so that he would land on the trampoline shortly after Bulbasaur, who would be knocked out when he landed and would get a sore bulb.
From the documents of Squirtle:
I have collected for you an excerpt from the script of Bulbasaur's adventure. We hope that this first-person narrative will help cajole you into the feelings of annoyance held by my secretary Bulbasaur. The excerpt begins from his point of view after he wakes up from his unfortunate fall.
"RING RING RING! RING RING RING! PHONE CALL! PHONE CALL! RING RING RING! RING RING RIN.......BAM! Stupid phone...." I woke up and saw the perturbed face of Nurse Joy next to the phone, holding a large hammer.
"pant
pant Stupid... pant phone... Oh my! Bulbasaur is up!" She ran
over to my side, dropping the hammer on her toe. "OWWWWW! My, my
how clumsy am I! Heh hee! That rhymes!" I rolled my eyes. What
could make this Nurse Joy worse?
"It's a good thing I went to
jump on my trampoline after you landed! Huh, Bulbasaur!" I wondered
how many bones she had broken on the trampoline.
"Well anyway if you have am....amneee....amneshhh.... what's that thingy called when you don't remember? I forget." She scratched her head.
"Bulba!
Saur!" I answered, which meant, "Are you trying to be
ironic?"
"If you have what's it called, and don't
remember, you landed safely on my trampoline and only have a very
sore bulb."
"Saur! Bulb!" I answered.
"Ooooh! I didn't know that you could talk too!" That bad joke was enough. I chose this moment to use my vines to push her out the door, which I locked. I decided to go to Team Rocket's headquarters to find my friends, Pidgey and Rattata. I razor leafed a window open and fell four stories onto Nurse Joy's trampoline.
Squirtle hopped off of the trampoline, for he heard that he was in Clamsy city, commonly known as Clumsy city by those that visited it. He knew that the horrid Nurse Joy would soon be there, and he hastily made his escape. Later, Squirtle arrived back at camp where Stephen was still sleeping, thanks to the Pokedex. The Pokedex explained to Squirtle how Team Rocket had captured Squirtle in the middle of the night, and how the Pokedex had drugged Stephen, giving Squirtle time to escape. Squirtle then realized that Pidgey and Rattata had followed him out of Clamsy City, and even made there selves at home in Stephen's Pokeballs. He could tell this by the way that they shined. He informed the Pokedex of this phenomenon.
"I got that Pokeball shining trick from The Study of Pokeballs:
Throughout the History of Pokeballs. Ever read it?"
"Yes,
but it is nothing compared to How Pokeballs Move, and the Ethical
Epic of the Modern Constitutionalists of Japanese Economy'!"
"Hey, I've read that! It reminds me of Business Diagrams of the Political and Economical Review of the Cultivator Guild Including the all new Novel of Ethics and the Division of Alacrity'!"
The next morning, Squirtle woke up. He could see that everyone else was sleeping, including the Pokedex. He turned the Pokedex on. Squirtle held the Pokedex up to Pidgey and Rattata's Pokeballs. Squirtle was astonished at their STATUS:
OT Squirtle
ID 35478
Squirtle decided to keep Pidgey and Rattata a secret from Stephen, in order to prevent any misunderstandings. Squirtle told one of his Dittos to transform into a primitive Pokedex, and he kept this Pokedex with him in case he was separated from Stephen's. He heard Stephen groan and yawn, so he quickly pretended to be asleep. He heard the zipping of a tent flap, then footsteps.
"AH WHAT IS IT NICE MORNING WILLN'T AGREE GOLDEEN?"
"YEAH!" Bulbasaur the Goldeen answered.
"WASN'T TALKING TO YOU NOPE! TALKING TO GOLDEEN ME WAS NOT BULBASAUR!" This was Squirtle's cue. He pretended to wake up and he answered,
"I
certainly think that it is a nice morning."
"YOU SAY IT ARE
NOT NICE MORNING? AWW, THAT AM TOO BAD GOLDEEN! LET WE GO GYM NEXT!"
After many hours of walking, they arrived in Gory Cobalt city. They
went to the gym, and Stephen began to stare at it in awe. On a sign
hanging from it read:
Sir
Ooleon Gym
Built in honor of former Gym Leader Sir Ooleon.
Current
Gym Leader: Sir Ooleon's daughter, Aloof
The cold gym
leader
There was a huge water symbol under the words.
"THEY
IS MUST HAS BEEN BEING TRICK US BY HAVE THAT THERE WATER SYMBOL! THEY
MUST USING GROUND TYPE TO FOOL ELECTRIC USERS! WELL NOT WORK ME
SMART! GROUND TYPES AM WEAK TO LIGHTNING POKEMAN I KNOWS SO I GET AN
LIGHTNING POKEMAN!" Stephen ran off into the woods to catch
a
Pikachu. Squirtle knew that there were no Pikachus in the woods,
so to make Stephen happy he commanded one of his numerous Dittos to
transform into Pikachu and jump into one of Stephen's
Pokeballs.
"YAY I CAUGHT AN PIKACHU!" Stephen began to perform
the happy dance. "GO GYM ME NOW!" He tried to run off to the gym,
but just as he began to step forward, he fell into a hole. He looked
up and saw...
