Author Note: after a ten-day hiatus, I am back. I wrote this chapter
almost a week ago, but I was busy working on an original comedy piece
called Yellow vs. Green. So, without further adieu, the next chapter! Yeah!
What has gone before... Patrick is a fourteen year old boy who is about to set out on a Pokemon journey unique in its own right from his newly adopted home of Pallet.
*** Emily had made friends with several people here in town, but her closest friend was Delia Ketchum. She had a son, just a little older than Patrick, who was also on a Pokemon Journey. They were both in their early thirties, and they both had brown hair. Just about the only difference in the two girls was that Emily was a little taller and had green eyes, verses Delia's brown ones.
And Now...
Chapter 4: Viridian City
Patrick ran along the short road known as Route 1 towards Viridian city. He had to get to Viridian before dark so that he could get a place at the Pokemon center for a meal and lodgings.
"I don't want to have to camp the first night of my journey if I don't have to," Patrick thought. "But then again, if I eat a meal and sleep outside, I can get up earlier and catch some Pokemon."
A purple and white, rat-like Pokemon suddenly jumped out of the patch of tall grass that Patrick was walking along the edge of. "Rattata," yelled the Pokemon.
"What's up, Rattata?" Patrick asked innocently enough. Suddenly the Pokemon, mistaking Patrick for a threat, attacked him. He sped up to an extreme speed and Patrick felt a breeze blow by him. He looked down at his leg where a slash about six inches appeared. A thin line of blood rolled down his leg. He spun around as the Rattata began a second charge, with its mouth open.
"Bite attack." Patrick mumbled under his breath. "He must think I'm food!"
Patrick released his Pikachu from his Pokeball. His Pokemon materialized in a red light, saw his trainer, and yelled, "Pika Pika!"
"Pikachu, use thundershock on that Rattata!" Patrick shouted.
Rattata saw the new Pokemon and diverted his bite attack towards it instead of the tall, strange creature. He was just about to sink his teeth into the hide of the yellow creature when it glowed with a yellow energy that ran in an arc towards the poor Pokemon. "Rattata" it weakly called out before succumbing to the pain of the attack.
"Good, Pikachu. Return," Patrick called. Pikachu's genetic code condensed back into the Pokeball with another red light. Patrick reached into his bag, found one of his Pokeballs, and captured the more-or-less unconscious Pokemon. He called the Professor on his Phone to tell him of the capture and send it to him. "Hello, Professor. Is this a good time to send you a Pokemon I caught?"
"Sure, you can send him now. Are you familiar with how to send a Pokemon over your mobile phone?" asked Professor Oak.
"Yes, sir, I am."
"Then you may send him now."
Patrick sent the Pokeball containing Rattata to Professor Oak as he continued to walk along. The gash on his leg was really starting to hurt, and he decided that it might be a good idea to stay in the Pokemon center tonight.
