Chapter 4 Pikachu

A cold wind blows through the stony streets of Pewter City, Red walks into the city centre next to a giant fountain shaped like and Onix as a group of people yong and old run past him with nets knocking him over.

'Hey watch where you're going' yells Red after them but they're too rapped up in their own business to care. A big gust of wind blows a sheet of paper into Red's face where it sticks till he pulls it off with a little effort, he gasps as he looks at the picture with a little yellow pokemon on it saying WANTED. 'They're all looking for this Pikachu with nets' reasons Red as he releases Poliwhirl and Bulbasaur. 'Lets see if we can catch this little guy' smiles Red as the three begin to head in the direction the crowd had went.

…

'There he is!' exclaims one boy as he spots the Pikachu hopping up onto a nearby fruit stall. One man crawls along the floor towards the Pikachu who is sitting down eating an apple.

'I've got you know' screamed the man who had big bushy eyebrows as he jumped in the air and slammed the net down on Pikachu capturing it. 'PIka…Chu!' says Pikachu as it smiles at the man and hits him with a Thundershock attack which causes him to reel back and release the Pikachu who smirked at him before running away quickly followed by the rest of the villagers.

Pikachu turns a corner and runs directly into Red and his pokemon, seeing the two pokemon Pikachu yells and charges his cheeks as he prepares to battle with Bulbasaur. He people of Pewter turn the corner and see the Pikachu getting ready to attack Bulbasaur and gasp.

'Poor little Bulbasaur…doesn't stand a chance' said one man 'but we can capture the Pikachu once he's attacked him, it'll be safer that way.' Pikachu unleashes it's attack that rocks through Bulbasaur's body as he growls trying not to focus on the pain. The ground around Bulbasaur explodes filling the air with dust. The dust clears and everyone but Red and this includes Pikachu is surprised to see Bulbasaur practically unharmed as it fires Sleep powder at Pikachu making the yellow pokemon drift into sleep. Red hurls a pokeball at Pikachu which locks it inside.

…

Later Red is sitting in a restraint in the town called La Lickitung Quiescence eating all the free food the towns people are giving him. 'That Pikachu you captured has been stealing goods and causing all sorts of trouble in this town not even Brock could capture it, it kept giving him the slip by swimming away' Explained the mayor. Red wondered who Brock was for a second but the thought passed quickly as he choked on a piece of meat.

A girl aound red's age patted him hard on the back causing him to swallow the food he was choking on, he flashed her a smile and then continued to eat 'so tell us about yourself' said the girl as she smiled back hiding a blush.

'I'm Red…I'm from Pallet town and I'm going to become the worlds greatest pokemon master' said red with his usual cocky smile.

'Pallet town…Hmmm do you know Professor Oak?' asked an old man as he leaned on his stick.

'Yeah I know the Prof…he gave me Bulbasaur and this' said Red as he pulled out his pokedex and began to cycle through it's features including measuring health of pokemon, pokemon team, pokemon seen and pokemon captured.

'A lot of years ago I taught him how to capture his very first pokemon…Do you know how to capture pokemon?' asked the man.

'Erm yeah' said red politely as he looked around at everyone hoping that at least some one had noticed he had captured a pokemon very recently. 'I'm sorry but I must be going…thank you very much for the meal' said Red as he got up to leave.

'No thank you for capturing Pikachu' said one of the men sitting nearby as he gave a smile and let Red leave.

'What will I do with you' thought Red as he looked at Pikachu's pokeball as he wondered how to make friends with the obviously hostile pokemon.

…

Later, out on a piece of grassland near Pewter City, Red is still trying every way he could to befriend Pikachu, playing catch, tickling, telling jokes but nothing seems to work in fact Pikachu barely pays him any attention but to shock the boy every now and then.

Red drags himself to his feet after recovering from the latest shock, he looks at Pikachu who is laughing and rolling around on the floor. A disdainful laugh comes from behind and Red turns to find Green with a look of mockery on his face, Pikachu stops laughing and looks at Green with a bemused look on his face.

'I feel ashamed to have you as a rival' laughs Green.

'I'm not your rival…am I?' asked Red who was a little confused.

'Everyone needs a rival and since there is no one else around your it…no matter how pathetic' sniggers Green as red begins to fume with anger as usual.

'Why don't I wipe that look off your face' said Red to the arrogant boy.

'I wouldn't waste my time…I'm going to battle The Gym Leader tomorrow at noon and I don't have time to battle you it might end up getting my pokemon injured…they might trip or something' said Green with another evil smirk.

'What's a gym leader?' asked Red confused by the boys words.

'You're kidding me right…surely you know what a gym is…oh my god you don't. The pokemon league competition takes place once every three years but you can't just have anyone turning up so there are eight Gym's around the region. If you can beat all eight Gym leaders and get the badge they hold, you are admitted to the Pokemon League competition. Brock is Pewter city's Gym Leader he holds the boulder badge which boosts pokemons attack power' explained Green as he turned his back to the boy and shook his head at his ignorance. 'tell you what why don't you challenge as well and whoever wins the Boulder badge will win the first round of our rivalry.

'Sounds good to me…I just caught a new pokemon and I woulod love to rub my victory in your face' laughs Red as he points to Pikachu.

'Oh that's funny…your pokemon doesn't even listen or like you, plus the little electric rat wont stand a chance against the rock type pokemon of Brock' said green unsure why he was helping Red with information.

Red checks his pokedex to see that both Poli and Saur are low on health 'I best go to the pokemon centre tomorrow morning' thought Red as he began to set up his tent for an evening under the stars.

…

Red arrived at the pokemon centre the next morning and pulled on the door but it didn't budge, he tried the other and still it didn't move. Red pressed his head to the door to look through the glass but unlike other pokemon centres this one didn't seem hectic and busy. Red took a step back to and caught sight of a notice on the door which he began to read.

'We would like to apologise for the inconvenience but the pokemon centre will be closed till a later date due to damage endured during an attack by unknown assailants last night. If anyone has any information could they please contact Officer Jenny of the Pewter City Police force. We once again apologise for the inconvenience.' Red gasps in shock that he will have o go into the gym battle with only one fully healed pokemon and not only that a fully healed pokemon that hates him.
