Chapter 3: On the Road to Viridian City
Chris was walking down the old path heading towards Viridian City.
"I can't believe I'm hungry already." Chris didn't want to waste time eating, but his stomach was doing all the talking for Chris. He finally sat down and ate the sandwiches mom packed him when a rat-like Pokemon went up and stole his cookies.
Caught under guard, Chris just managed to say, "Go, Charmander!" just in time before the Rattata got away.
An orange lizard Pokemon with a ball of fire on its tail came out of the Pokeball.
Chris, looking at his Pokedex said, "So, a Rattata, huh? Well, I'm gonna catch you! Charmander, use your Scratch attack!"
The fire lizard Pokemon landed a Scratch right on Rattata's face.
"That's the way to go! Now, give it your Tackle Attack!" Chris shouted gleefully at his success.
The Rattata continued getting hit by Charmander.
"Charmander, finish it off with an Ember attack!"
As Charmander took in the fire for an Ember, Rattata started glowing and evolved into a Raticate.
Surprised, Chris said, "Charmander, give it your full fire power!"
Raticate started using its Bite attack, which hit Charmander.
"This one's a toughie! Let's catch it! Use your Tail Whip attack!"
Charmander uses its Tail Whip to weaken Raticate's defense and then dodged in time to escape Raticate's Quick Attack.
"Charmander, use your Headbutt!"
While Charmander was using Headbutt, Raticate used Quick Attack, and they ended colliding into each other. Charmander fainted due to Raticate's power, but Raticate was left weak.
"Pokeball, go!" shouted Chris and he never blinked as the Pokeball hit Raticate. Raticate struggled in the Pokeball and it kept shaking and shaking and Chris never blinked until it stopped moving. Then he blinked a few times to make sure it was really there and then he did his victory dance.
"All right!" yelled Chris. "I finally caught my own Pokemon!"
Then he saw his weak Raticate and his Charmander who had fainted. Then he decided to avoid battles until they arrived at the Viridian Pokemon Center. He returned his Charmander and continued along the road. He didn't mind that he was hungry anymore now that he had a high-leveled Raticate and his Charmander's level must've gone up some, too.
Chris started humming down the road when he saw a Pidgey standing and staring right at him.
"I know I don't have a lot of Pokemon to battle, but this is a great opportunity! I can use my Raticate! I can turn that Pidgey into a Pidgeotto and a Pidgeot!"
"Raticate, go! Use your Quick Attack and finish it off with Bite!"
Raticate hit accurately and Pidgey was already weakened as Chris yelled again,
"Pokeball, Go!"
Chris caught Pidgey easily, because Pidgey couldn't put up much of a fight.
"Yes, my second Pokemon!"
Chris, feeling happier than before continued down the road. Then two people with a Persian were following Chris.
"He's not half bad, Jessie. He may be lacking a few Pokemon, but his talent is easy to see." said a man who had long blue hair and was wearing casual jeans with a white shirt and a leather vest.
Then a woman wearing black pants and a tank top said, "You're right, James. Right now, that's kid might have crappy Pokemon, but his handling with Pokemon will let him get rare and unusual Pokemon someday. We should keep an eye on him."
Team Rocket had been stealing Pokemon for numerous years and this was their 9th year attempting and they had never caught anything worthwhile.
"But first, let's get something to eat! I'm starving!" said a small Persian.
"Meowth, I just ask a small favor, but shut up." said Jessie.
"That's not a small favor." Meowth retorted angrily.
"You're right. It's a mighty big favor with a mouth of yours that size." joked James.
"How dare you insult my excellent personality you little stupid idiot that walks on two legs-!"
"Pipe down, ya ball of fuzz. Your mouth is bigger than your brain, so try to think before you talk." Jessie said in a hopeless way.
Then the three started arguing through the night.
"What do you know? It's dark already." Started James who had been scratched by Meowth and had a bloody nose from Jessie. Meowth had two black eyes and Jessie had been scratched just about everywhere.
Meanwhile, Chris was camping out on his sleeping bag and he was talking to his Charmander, Pidgey, and Raticate to become friendly.
"You know what? I'll tell ya guys a big secret. I want to be a Pokemon Master when I grow up. I wanna beat Elite 4 Lance and Master Gary. That's my dream and I'll go farther if I have to, but I need your help to make that dream come true. Understand?"
His Pokemon nodded as if they understood what he had meant. Then without thinking of anything else, Chris fell asleep on the Road to Viridian City.
Now it's getting a little bit longer! Please R&R!
