Vs Fearow

The house sits with it's little red roof where it has sat for many generations, it has been updated and extended over the years but still the original little house with the little red roof sits by the river on the outskirts of Cerulean city. Bill tinkers under a huge machine in his front room, the sofa and chairs are moved against the walls and have been that way since he started to build the machine he is just finishing.

"Ah my labour of love" he says to his Rattata as he looks at the machine "Bills World Renowned transfer system or at least it will be, imagine it Ratty instead of carrying around hundreds of pokeballs you carry six and anymore pokemon you catch are instantly and most importantly safely transferred down any phone line to anywhere you like" Bill smiled as he finished his sentence and stepped into one of the bullet shaped pods to make the final calibrations. Rattata smiles and follows him into the chamber but accidentally knocked the bar which was keeping the heavy door open, the door closes over slowly and seals silently behind the two leaving them trapped inside the chamber.

"This Hi-tech stuff always takes so much management that's the only problem Ratty but I can fix that one day, it will maintain itself but until then could you pass me those pliers?" asked Bill with a smile as Rattata handed him his tools. "Oops" said Bil as he snags a loose wire which has the effect of hotwiring the machine as a computerised voice begins to speak.

"Testing Pokemon transfer system, test transfer to commence in ten seconds…9…8" said the computerised voice. Bill grabbed his Rattata and headed for the thick door of the cell but it doesn't budge, Bill hurled his shouled into the machine and stumbled back in pain "Ratty I think were in trouble" said Bill as the computer stopped counting down and a beam of light spread throughout the machine.

…

Red grumbles as he bends down to pick up the pokeball from the floor but he ends up dropping another two "Grrr, I am so sick of all these pokeballs" grumbled Red to himself as he fumbled with the many pokeballs in his possession. Since leaving Misty's mansion Red had encountered all kinds of wild pokemon, Ekans, Pidgey, Sandshrew, Oddish and now he has over a dozen pokeballs with many not even fitting onto his belt anymore.

The last pokeball he has to secure escaped from his grip and rolled slowly over to the base of a tree, Red hurried over and picked the ball up and shoved it roughly into his full backpack. Red looked up and scanned the area with his eyes, he was sure he heard a noise, he captures sight of what the noise was. A small Rattata pulled a log away from Red the log was behind it and was tied on with vines all tied together.

Red slowly creeps up on the pokemon thinking that why it is distracted it will be an easy capture he wouldn't even need to use his pokemon, Red brought his arm back and prepared to hurl the ball when the Rattata began to speak.

"Stupid paws, what I wouldn't give for opposable thumbs" growled Rattata as it tried to get the log over a large rock, red who was only standing a step behind the pokemon went wide eyed and screamed before falling over and staring at the bemused looking pokemon.

"Would you calm down" said Rattata "I'm a person, I just had an unfortunate mishap that's all, young people always flying off the handle for the slightest thing."

"A person? Who are you" asked red as he leaned forwards and prodded Rattata.

Rattata leapt forward a little and dug it's fangs into Red "Sorry about that I don't like being prodded and I have pokemon instinct, my instinct told me to bite" laughed Rattata "I'm Bill the pokemon genius, I had a little accident with my invention and ended up in the body of my Rattata, you think this is bad you should see my Rattata he's gnawing everything in my house…I don't think my teeth will ever be the same again."

Bill screamed rather abruptly and ran to hide in the roots of a tree "are you okay?" asked Red as he looked into the darkness of the routes, red quickly gets knocked from his feet by something.

Red rolls over to see Fearow stabbing it's beak into the roots of the tree trying to get at the Rattata. "Would you stop just watching and help me!" yelled Bill with terror in his squeaky Rattata voice.

Red shrugged as he released his three most trusted pokemon Poli, Saur and Pika "Saur Razor leaf" ordered Red, the little bulb pokemon began to fire its sharp leaves at the Fearow who effortlessly flew higher into the air avoiding the spinning leaves.

"Don't you know anything…Grass is weak against flying types, use a paralysing or freezing attack to ground that Fearow" yelled Bill.

"Pika…thundershock and Poli use Ice Beam" ordered Red, he two pokemon fired their attack at Fearow who was making another dive at Rattata. Fearow avoided the attacks which soared through the air and connected with Bill who was poking his head through a hole in the roots to shout at Red, Fearow grabbed Bill in its claws as he reeled from the attack and took of into the air.

Fearow flew into the air laughing its squawking laugh at the trainer, Red follows it with his eyes as the pokemon passes a group of black clouds in the sky "Poli throw Pika into the air and then Pika use thunderbolt on the clouds." Poli hurled Pika who began to unleash it electricity on the clouds, Pika dropped back into Red's arms as the clouds began to rumble.

A bolt of lightning shoots from the cloud and strikes the Fearow who squawks loudly and begins to tumble to the ground as it releases Bill who flies onto the edge of the nearby cliff.

Red approaches the smoking bird on the floor and prods it, the bird immediately shoots into the air with a screech, the bird dives down the cliff where Bill was standing and begins to circle faster and faster above the forest below, Fearow also gains altitude till it is higher then Red and the pokemon.

"Oh no Drill Peck" said Bill as he shuddered. Fearow quickly began to twirl itself in the air but suddenly stops and it's beak began to spin rapidly in the other direction as it dived towards the pokemon.

"Get out of the way" screamed Bill as Fearow came hurtling down but Red stood his ground refusing to move, Bill covered his eyes as Fearow's beak drilled itself into the swirl of Poli, Bill opened his eyes a few seconds later to find a block of ice containing Fearow.

"I had Poli use double team and then ice beam" said Red with a huge smile at the Rattata like man.

…

Red pushes the handle gently of the pod which crackles to life and a few seconds later a fully reformed Bill steps out of the pod "Thank you, I couldn't reach that lever as a Rattata that's why I was getting logs and stones to stand on" laughed Bill.

"What is this thing?" asked Red as he examined the slot for pokeballs.

"It's a pokemon transfer system it will transfer pokemon and items home or anywhere you like actually" said Bill as he rubbed his machine and petted his newly formed Rattata again.

"I'm from Pallet so could you transfer my pokemon to Professor Oak's ranch?" asked Red as he fumbled with his pokeballs again.

"Yes" said Bill wondering if the boy was actually listening to what he had said seconds earlier. "look let me lighten your load" said Bill with a smile as he grabbed some of Reds pokeballs and hurled them into the collection tube and enters the correct co-ordinates.

"Oh and what about this one" said Red as he hurled Bill another pokeball which the man fumbled and dropped on the floor releasing the pokemon inside. Fearow screeched at Bill and Bill screamed as well as falling over on the floor.

Red strokes his Fearow as the three began to laugh even though Bill still looked terrified.
