Chapter 5: Meeting Anne
Chris had finally arrived in Viridian City and he was amazed at everything he saw. Tall buildings and lots of small ones everywhere. He had never left Pallet Town before, either because he was too young or he wasn't allowed. Now he was free. That was the best word anyone could've come up with. Free, free, free, free... Chris kept telling himself the same word. Then he hurried to the Pokemon Center to heal his Pokemon. Inside the Pokemon Center, he saw a pretty nurse with pink hair and had two Chanseys following her. Chris quickly gave his Pokemon to her.
"I'll finish healing them in about 30 minutes." Said the nurse in a very sweet voice.
"Thanks." Chris was about to get a soda when he heard a scream outside. When he looked, about 4 guys were ganging up on this pretty girl. She had long black hair and there wasn't a single knot in her hair and he could see it shine in the sun. She was wearing black, short tight pants and she also wore a tight black shirt.
"Come on girl, wanna be my girlfriend?"
The girl started screaming and before anything happened, Chris knew something was gonna go wrong if somebody didn't stop them. Without thinking that there were 4 guys against him, he jumped at the smallest guys first. He had learned karate, Tae-Kwon Do, Judo, and street fighting. He was pretty good at fighting, and he was able to knock the smallest guy in 3 hits.
It took the others that long to notice what was going on. Then the girl, knowing that Chris had come to help started fighting herself. She was a pretty good fighter and she was holding out with the leader while Chris demolished the other two. Then Chris rounded up on the leader and the leader ran away leaving his friends behind. This was the first time in his life Chris privately thanked his dad, Richie for teaching him all those moves. Thanks to all that training, he was tall for his age, and had a little more muscle than a regular 12-year old. He was 5'11" and he saw the girl, who looked at him thankfully.
"Thanks for helping me." Said the girl who had a real sweet voice.
Chris privately thought that she looked a lot kinder than the pants and the shirt that she had chosen to wear.
"My name's Anne. Anne Waterflower. I'm the daughter of Daisy Waterflower, and niece of Misty Waterflower, the gym leader of the Cerulean Gym. I'm 12- years old and I have just become a trainer. I would've used my Pokemon, but they were healing in the Pokemon Center."
She took another breath and said, "Aunt Misty liked me the best of all her niece and she gave me three Pokemon to start with. I'm a fossil-Pokemon type trainer."
Chris was startled, knowing that the fossil Pokemon didn't exist anymore.
Beyond his curiosity, he had to ask, "Where did you get them?
"My aunt's ex-boyfriend gave it to her 5 years ago. He gave her an Omanyte, Kabuto, and an Aerodactyl."
"What was his name?"
"Ash. Ash Ketchum. The legendary Ash Ketchum."
Chris let out a gasp of excitement and shockness and it took awhile to wear it off and then he managed to say, "A-A-Ash?"
"Yeah. So she gave them to me and sent me off while we were going on a vacation in Cinnabar Island. Then I swam along with Omanyte, because my baby Aerodactyl isn't old enough to fly supporting my weight yet."
Chris just managed to nod.
"I wanna thank you again for saving my life again and if there's anything I can do for you, just say it."
Chris didn't know how the words came out, but he said, "Maybe you'd like to go on a Pokemon journey with me, like a partner or something?"
At first, Anne stared at him for asking such question, but Chris was relieved when she smiled again and said, "Sure. Then your name is..."
"Chris. Chris Sparks."
"Sparks? That must mean you're the son of Richie Sparks! Misty talked about him and Ash being the best of friends."
"Yeah. I knew about that, too."
"Well, that must be where you got your fighting skills. You were pretty good back there. I've heard that Richie was an excellent fist fighter."
Chris felt embarrassed and angry, because he never did like his father too much, but what he did for me was very helpful and even he had to admit that.
Trying to change the subject, Chris said, "Well, let's go pick up our Pokemon!"
They went back to the Pokemon Center and picked up their Pokeballs. His Pokemon was once again in the best state and Chris felt happy once again.
Then they went around Viridian City and Chris saw a few advertisements telling them to join Team Rocket, the organization that was trying to dominate the Pokemon World. Sometimes Chris wondered why the police never went to break up those terrible organizations. Then he looked the other way and saw a Pokemon gym! It looked dark inside and they saw some guards at the entrance. They wouldn't let them in unless they at least had 7 badges. Much to their disappointment, they headed on and they decided to go to Pewter City, to challenge Brock.
"Did you know that Brock was also a friend of Ash, your father, and my aunt?"
"I know Anne, I know."
"Well, I guess we don't have anything special to do here. We better come back when we're stronger." Chris looked longingly at the gym, but got over his temptation to challenge a gym leader.
"I don't really wanna get badges, but I wanna study about Pokemon and see as many different ones as I can and I guess the way to do that is to follow you!" She hugged his arm and they were walking into the Viridian Forest when they saw two figures and a Pokemon land right in front of them.
"Oh, no. It's Team Rocket. Come on let's get the battle started and let's get it over with." Chris said it dully, knowing how pathetic they were with Pokemon.
"This time, we can't let the kid off that easy." Jessie said with a grimace.
"We'll show them what we're made of!" James said furiously from losing pathetically last battle.
"I choose you, Arbok!" Jessie sent out the purple cobra Pokemon.
"I choose you, Weezing!" James sent out a Pokemon with a couple of heads and they floated in the air while they had the toxic sign on their face.
"I choose you, Persian!" Meowth said that as he sent himself out in the battle.
Chris decided to send out one of his Pokemon and Anne decided to send one, too.
"I choose you, Charmeleon!'
"I choose you, Kabuto!"
Charmeleon and a Fossil Pokemon Kabuto came out, ready for battle.
"Look, Jessie, that Kabuto! You can't find one of those anywhere. It's extinct now, currently. We can sell that for loads and loads of money!" James sounded excited as he could see himself swimming in a sea of dollar bills.
"Let's capture it!" Jessie could see herself spending her whole day in a spa and getting her hair done every single day.
"Arbok, use your Poison Sting Attack!"
"Weezing, use your Smokescreen attack!"
"Persian, use your Slash Attack!"
"Charmeleon, use your Rage Attack!"
"Kabuto, return! Go, Aerodactyl, blow away the Smokescreen!"
Aerodactyl blew the Smokescreen away making it able to see again.
The Poison Sting was fired at Charmeleon and the Slash landed on Charmeleon, but Charmeleon tail fire kept on getting bigger and he continued hitting Arbok and Meowth repeatedly and his attack was getting stronger by the second.
"Aerodactyl, finish it off with your Flying Tackle attack!"
Aerodactyl swooped down and sent Team Rocket flying.
"Looks like Team Rocket's blasting off again!"
They kept on flying till they were swallowed up by the sunset that was continually going down the mountains. Everything was silent and they had just entered the Viridian Forest when it suddenly became dark and the sun had gone.
"Let's camp out here. It's getting way to dark."
"Ok."
Chris wasn't scared of the dark or tired, but he figured that he had a lot of things to organize in his head and a lot of things to think about and he needed his strength to be able to go on his journey tomorrow.
It was already late in to the night, Chris continually thought about his future as a Pokemon trainer. Was he going to be able to make it? Was he going to succeed? Was he not going to fail? Was he. . .
