Chapter 6 Vs Gyarados

The wind blew hard whipping the wind and the grass it carried in its power around the girl who could barely stand, every inch of her body hurt as she slowly climbed to her knees and came face to face with her attacker who stood tall in the air, mouth gaping, roaring. "Hydropump" yelled the girl as her Staryu span in circles soaking the Gyarados but it seemed to have no effect and the Gyarados retaliated with an identical sending the Staryu flying and it passes out. "Oh no Staryu" said the girl as she tried to stand.

"You need help?" asked Red as he sprinted towards the red haired girl, he had seen her battling the Gyarados from a distance and decided she would need help. The girl went to speak but was interrupted by Red "Go Saur, Go Poli…I'm Red by the way" said Red with a smile as he interrupted.

"I'm Misty" stammered the girl as she looked at the battle unsure what to do.

Gyarados fired a hydropump attack at Saur "Oh no that's a water pokemons strongest attack your poor Bulbasaur" said the girl with a gasp.

"Don't worry water doesn't effect grass much…I actually think he's enjoying it" said Red with a smile as he looked at the laughing Saur. "Leech seed" ordered Red and instantly the water dragon pokemon was covered in tight thick vines meaning it couldn't move.

"Wow he's good" said Misty to herself with a slight blush. "Staryu recover" ordered Misty suddenly remembering what she was doing. Red stared in awe as the star shaped pokemon's injuries healed instantly. Gyarados shakes free of the vines and roars angrily at the two trainers, Misty and Red both nod at each other and order a Vinewhip and Bubblebeam from their respective pokemon.

The double attack connects with Gyarados and knocks the already weakened pokemon into being unconscious. Red hurls a pokeball and captures the pokemon without a struggle. Misty stares in disbelief at the boys skills for a second before she begins to speak "Thanks…I think".

"Did you wonder why a wild water pokemon was in the middle of a field" asked Misty with a little tone of annoyance in her voice.

"uh…no" said Red a little confused by what she meant.

"It wasn't a wild pokemon it's my pokemon" yelled Misty "and you just caught it."

"Sorry" said Red as he handed Misty the pokeball containing a Gyarados.

"No I'm sorry I got a little angry, Gyarados was stolen a couple of days ago…when I found him he was wild and vicious so I was trying to tame him again." Said Misty as she handed Red a spare empty pokeball in exchange for the one he had just given her. "Thank you again" said Misty with a smile.

"You know what I'm going to help you catch the thief" said Red with an impressive tone in his voice.

"I wasn't really going to follow the matter anymore, I have Gyarados back and that's what counts…and how would you do that when I don't even know who it was?" asked Misty showing she was smarted and had more commonsense then Red.

Red pauses to think for a while and scratches his head beforehe sits on the floor and thinks even harder "I got it" screamed Red as he leapt to his feet "I'll ask Professor Oak".

…

"Hello Red" said Oak cheerfully as he looked at the boy who was sitting with Misty in the Pewter City Pokemon centre. "I haven't heard from you in a while…how's it going Green tells me that you've won the Boulder Badge…but you only have three pokemon."

"Yes and Yes is there a problem with that?" asked Red bemused.

"no…nothing at all. Oh Hello" said Oak to Misty who was sitting next to Red.

"Hello Professor Oak" said Misty with a smile and a wave.

"Oh yeah Professor I was wondering if you could help, Misty's pokemon was stolen the other day and I was wondering if you knew anyting?"

"Funny you should mention that, Some of the officer Jennys have just been talking to me and apparently there has been a lot of thefts recently and they belive something called Team Rocket is responsible. Team Rocket are a criminal organisation who have taken to performing genetic experiments on pokemon" said Oak with an angry look on his face. "I don't advise you too because I think it's too dangerous but I think it's best to give you a warning before you walk in blindly like you most probably will, Team Rocket have been reported in the vicinity if Mount Moon, I think they're looking for the rare moonstones."

"Thanks professor" said Red as he quikly darts away from the screen and drags Misty with him.

"I just said not to go…" yelled Oak through the video screen before he realised that Red wasn't listening.

…

"I know you didn't want to follow the criminals so I'll just go alone from here, bye." Said red as he held out his hand for Misty.

"I never said that…I'm coming, anyway I have to go through Mount Moon to get home to Cerulean City and I want to stop Team Rocket just as much as you do" said Misty again with annoyance in her voice which Red really didn't understand.

"It'll be dangerous and you're a girl I wouldn't want you getting hurt" said Red with a macho tone in his voice.

"What is that supposed to mean" fumed Misty as she released her pokemon, red gasped when he saw other then Gyarados and Staryu she had a Starmie, Goldeen, Seaking and a Poliwag. "I specialise in water pokemon and trust me you'll need them to get through the rock pokemon filled Mount Moon" said Misty as she stuck out her tongue and recalled her pokemon. Misty stormed away from Red towards the large cave which was the beginning of the tunnel through Mount Moon.

"Hey wait for me" said red as he dashed after her into the darkness of Mount Moon.

To Be Continued…

Next Time…Misty and Red enter Mount Moon but will them make it out of the Team rocket infested tunnels.
