Chapter 3
Gary's POV
Oh man, what in the world happened! I remember everything that happened in that cave, but I just really don't know what happened. I open my eyes, thinking that I'm going to find myself in that cave along with all of my friends, but what I see are trees. Lots of trees.
"Hey, are you okay?" A voice asks.
"Pika?" A smaller voice says.
I turn my head to the side and see another boy, he's about my age. He has short jet-black hair tucked underneath a red and white hat, a blue and white jacket with a black shirt, a pair of faded blue jeans with one leg cut short, and a pair of sneakers. On his shoulder, he has a very strange looking creature; something with yellow fur, brown stripes going across his back, and red circles on his cheeks. (I know Ash's jeans don't have a leg cut short in the television show, but I just modified his original outfit a little tiny bit for this story.)
I look into his eyes and blush a little; already, I have to admit, he's cute.
"Yeah, I'm fine." I say.
I sit up and look around, this is getting me confused. Awhile ago, I was in a dark cave; now, I'm sitting somewhere in a sunny forest.
The boy helps me up to my feet and helps brush the dirt from my body.
"Man, I thought that you were in a coma." The boy says. "I saw you fall from that tree."
"I fell?" Gary asks.
"Yeah, don't you remember?" The boy asks.
"Uh no…" Gary lies. 'I'm going to keep this to myself for awhile, until I know what in the world is going on.' He thinks.
"I never introduced myself, haven't I?" The boy asks.
I shake my head no; I'm looking forward to knowing the name of this boy.
"My name is Ashton Ketchem." The boy says. "But everyone calls me Ash."
He holds out his hand and I shake it.
"My name is Gary Oak." I say.
"Pika!" The little creature on his shoulder says.
"Oh, and this is Pikachu!" Ash says, this he laughs when Pikachu rubs its cheek to his cheek.
I try to pet Pikachu on his head, but I quickly whip my hand back when his cheeks start crackling with electricity.
"Pikachu!" Ash yells out. "That's bad! Tell him sorry!"
Pikachu stops the electricity and glares at me.
"Pika…" It says.
"Sorry about that…" Ash says. "Pikachu doesn't take well to many people, but only people he's not familiar with; if you stay around for awhile, then he'll probably let you pet him."
"Oh really?" I ask.
I look around at the forest wondering where I am.
"Where are we exactly?" I ask Ash.
"We're in Pallet Town." Ash says. "This is where I live."
I nod to him in understanding.
"We should be heading back now, in about an hour the Fearow will be swarming this part of the forest and we wouldn't want to be here in the middle of it." Ash says.
I look at him weirdly.
"Fearow, what in the world is that?" I ask Ash.
Ash looks at me strangely.
"You must be a beginner Pokemon trainer." Ash says.
Ash is getting me even more confused by the second; a Fearow is a Pokemon, we never came across one of those yet, what ever they are.
"What do you know about Pokemon?" I ask Ash.
"A whole lot; I'm a Pokemon trainer." Ash says.
"Pokemon trainer?" I ask.
Now, Ash looks at me strangely, again.
"What planet do you come from?" Ash asks me. "You don't know what a Pokemon trainer is?"
I shake my head no.
"Either you come from another planet, or you really fell hard on your head." Ash says. "C'mon, lets get to town so we can check you out; my mother used to me a nurse." With that Ash grabs my hand and drags me towards town.
James' POV
I wake up, only to find myself on something soft. I look around and notice that I'm in a room.
"So, you finally wake up." A voice says.
I turn my head to where the voice came from and my eyes meet narrow black eyes. This boy I see has sort of spiky black hair; his clothing is a vest over a t-shirt, beige pants, and a pair of sneakers. Beside him I see something that looks like a little puppy in flames; my eyes widen at that.
"Where am I?" I ask as I try to sit up, but when I do try to sit up, I let out a hiss because my back bones are stinging me.
"Hey, lie back down!" The boy says as he rushes to my side; gently he places his hands on my shoulders and slowly pushes me back down onto bed.
I look down on the floor to that puppy; the boy follows my gaze.
"Oh, don't worry about her, that's Vulpix." The boy says.
"Vulpix?" I ask in confusion.
"It's a Pokemon." The boy says.
This is when I freak out.
"It's a what!" I yell jumping out of the bed; a fall out of bed with a loud hard thud.
"Hey, at you okay!" The boy asks as he rushes to my side again.
I rub my head and look at him.
"Yeah, I'm fine…" I say.
He helps me up and settles me back into the bed.
"My name is Brock…" The boy says.
I look at him for a moment before telling my name.
"I'm James…" I say.
Just then, Vulpix jumps up onto bed stating its name.
"Vulpix!" It says.
"Hello Vulpix…" I say, gently I pet it on its head; it enjoys me petting it so it starts nudging my hand for more.
"You've been out for awhile." Brock says. "My brothers and sisters were playing in the forest and they found you there knocked out cold. They came for me and my father and we came and picked you up."
I look at Brock in confusion again.
'What in the world was I doing in the forest?' I ask myself in the back of my mind. 'I and the others were in a cave in the forest, but still…'
"I'm going to have to go back there." I tell Brock. "I have to find my other friends."
"There are more of you out there?" Brock asks. "We'll help you out to find your friends. But you're going to need to spend another day here, just to be safe."
"But-" Before I can really say anything, Brock continues.
"If it makes you feel better, me and my dad will go out tonight and search for your friends." Brock says.
That makes me feel a little better, but I'm still worried about the others; where in the world are they, and where am I?
Todd's POV
"Sparky don't do it!" I hear a voice yell.
I open my eyes to see what the commotion is about, only to be zapped with a huge jolt of electricity. I yell and scream as I feel the jolts fry my body; everything lasts for a moment before the shock stops. My eyes are open wide and I'm looking around wildly for the source of that shock; I turn my head to the side, only to find a mouse looking creature and a boy running up to his side.
"Hey, are you okay!" The boy asks me frantically. "I'm so sorry! I don't know what came over Sparky!"
The boy I'm looking at has short blond (does Richie have brown hair?) hair tucked underneath a cap; he has on a jacket with a black shirt on, his jeans are faded blue with the right leg cut short (A/N: Ash has the left leg cut short on his jeans), and a pair of sneakers. And of course, at his side is a huge over grown mouse with big ears, yellow fur with brown strips, and red cheeks.
"I'm fine…" I say as I sit up; then I point at the mouse. "What is that thing!"
The boy looks at me, then the strange creature.
"This is Sparky or a Pikachu if you please." The boy says.
"A what?" I ask.
"A Pokemon." The boy says.
I look at Sparky as he calls it; then start thinking: 'This little thing can't be a Pokemon, they are extinct.'
The boy stretches his hand out to me and I accept it; I'm helped up to my feet and the first thing I check before me is my camera.
"Are you okay?" The boy asks again.
I nod as I check over my camera.
"My name is Richie…" The boy says.
I look up from my camera and introduce myself.
"I'm Todd…" I say as I hold out my hand. "Nice to meet you." We shake hands, then something weird happens from a far off distance.
A loud boom is heard and quickly we both look out in the distance; Richie's eyes widen when he sees smoke flying into the air.
"Oh no!" He yells. "Giovanni is back!" With that, he starts running towards the explosion scene.
Quickly, I follow him; wondering who Giovanni is.
To be continued…
Why did Giovanni do that?
Why is Richie so alarmed?
