On The Road to Viridian City- Chapter I
"Ma says that in the old times, people were sent out of their town at the age of 18 to fight against Pokemon. Soon it became crusades just for food. After that all the young adults of a city or town were gone and never seen again, they sent kids, and started to go as low as the age of 11. Soon whenever a child reached that age, he was instantly assumed to go out and fight against and capture the Pokemon and become their master. Now that's all I know, but I believe different, I believe that the Pokemon are being captured and used to fight against other Pokemon. That they might become the newest pawns in our world-wide war of a chess game."
"Charlie! You're late! WAKE UP!!!" a voice screamed.
A young boy then fell to the side off his bed on his side. Groaning he lifted himself up and started to get out of his Pj's, but then again tripped and fell down. Rubbing his coal black hair and checking his tan, not that it mattered, due to his dark Hispanic skin though he stared at himself in the mirror, cold brown eyes concentrating on his imagine. Putting a blue shirt on and a cap with a Pokeball outline on it with a red, blue, and a green arrow sticking in the south, north-west, and north-east sides. Putting on a Red jacket with pockets and slipping on blue shorts and a belt with an attached hand bag. Not caring to tie his shoes he ran downstairs. "Hunny you're late! Hurry Hurry Hurry!"
"I'd Move faster if you stopped shouting!" the young man argued.
"Yes Professor sir. I choose the one you named Squirtle, please"
"CHARLIE WAIT, YOU NEED BREAKFAST!!!!" His mother screamed.
"Yo gramps, yeah I choose the Bulbasaur one"
Biting into his snack bar Charlie ran to the lab and was met by a door slamming into him knocking him backward. Charlie opened his eyes groaning to see a boy his age with spiky blond hair, green eyes with a pale skin composure and black buttoned shirt with brown slacks with a necklace with half red half white beads on it. He was around Char's size, 4'7" or so.
"Oops, sorry…NOT" the young man laughed, "Adios gramps! And see ya later nerd" he said chuckling.
"Oh dear are you okay…oh! It's you Charlie!" The professor said smiling.
"Please, only my mom calls me Charlie, call me Char, It's much cooler then my dorky 10 year old name."
The Professor smiled happily, "Yes I do believe that's a very 'cool' 11 year old name" chuckling to himself, "so what did you come for?"
"What else? Gimmi a Pokemon!" He said, clenching his fist acting like a strong Soldier.
"Oh…I'm sorry Char, but I have no Pokemon for you…"
"What?! But-but-but you promised!"
"I'm sorry, there isn't anything I can do…"
The young Boy ran past the professor checking drawers pulling out stuff and tossing it on the floor. "I gotta have something! I need to make my mom proud! Please professor, I need a Pokemon!" the young man cried.
The Professor took a long sigh, "I have one…but he needs a trainer with responsibility, he will be very hard to raise."
"I don't care, since I'll be the best trainer ever it won't matter. I want my mom to be proud of me Prof, I can't let her down, she loves Pokemon, ever sense she met you." Char said sighing.
The Professor walked up to a stand with a Pokeball on it and two empty slots that seemed to once hold one.
"He needs a patient and steady trainer, and I don't know if you're prepared for something like-" Before the Prof. Aspen could finish Char grabbed the ball from him.
"Now now! He doesn't have a name yet, Due to his shape and form I've been considering 'Salamander' what do you think of that?" Professor Aspen asked smiling.
"That's Stupid, it should be Char-salamander, since my monsters should be named like me." Char said grinning. The Professor groaned.
"Uh, maybe Charlamander?"
"No no no! How about, 'Charmander!' " Char shouted.
"Oh dear, that's a terrible name," the Professor sighed "but if you must."
"Whatever I'm going to go, thanks professor!"
"Wait a second! I want you to help me out." The Professor pleaded walking over to a cabinet and unlocking it.
"See when I was working on the Pokeball many years ago I also was creating something to help us understand more about Pokemon, so this multi-tasking machine will help me do that." The Professor said as he took out a mini sliver encyclopedia.
"Now listen, this device has the ability to when a Pokemon is captured, to analyze it. Everything! Texture of skin, eye color, weight, height, area where they are located, foot print, and categorizes them with a name…of more, accurate proportions." The Professor remarked, eyeing Char carefully.
"I want you to find Kain and give it to him."
"Kain…" Char murmured. Memories of his childhood rival coming back.
"Yes and you'll need one too. You two are going on a historic quest for something very important to Pokemon history! Remember to serve your correct duties. Your Mission to go on a pilgrimage for 8 badges of Gym trainers, proving yourself to the town that you all are Pokemon masters! And here," the Professor said slipping Charlie 5 Pokeballs, "anymore Pokemon past this get sent to computer databases and may be picked up in Pokemon Centers. Farewell Charl-I mean Char!"
Char walked out feeling like a new man, walking toward his adventure afoot when he knocked into a little girl.
"Oh sorrysorrysorry!" the little girl said apologizing.
"Oh Daisy, it's you! I was just off to find your brother." Char proudly announced helping her up.
"Oh wow, when Kain left, I gave him a map…would you like one Charlie?" she said staring at him intently.
"Oh sure, that'd be helpful." Char eagerly accepted from her, "and by the way, names 'Char' now. It's tougher."
"Oooh, I see." Daisy remarked, then scooted off giggling.
Watching her away Charlie opened his map and looked at all the places he had to go to finish his Pilgrimage.
"Hope, I don't miss mom…" he frowned walking soon into thick grass. It was dangerous here, in the old days tall grass was everywhere until people ran Pokemon out of their home areas so their children could grow up safe. Seldom you would see people traveling through tall grass, or Pokemon out of it.
Char heard a low growl, he turned his head and saw a small purple rat. It had a terrible growl then sent shivers throughout Char's spine.
"Puh-puh-Pocket dictionary thing…activate already…" Charlie said searching through his Pockets and pulled it out. A Scanner beam shot out of it and the flap to it opened up.
PokeDex#:0002 Name: Dexter, now functional. Rattata: the rat Pokemon. Commonly found in open grass fields throughout Kanto, Minimal alarm
"So it's not a strong Pokemon? Aww, it's kind of cute actually." Char said getting down on his knees sticking a finger forward to pet it, "That's a nice, Rata..tata..whatever." As he wagged his finger in front of it, it bit down hard.
Hyper Fang, there is Minimum alarm
"AAAAGH!! MINIMUM SOMETHING ELSE!" Char screamed as he ran with Rattata still dug into his finger. Soon Char tripped, Rattata flying off his finger and running away. "Dexter, remind me to never catch a Rattata." Char moaned in pain.
Getting up he found himself lost, scanning around for something, Char could find no way out.
"God, two Minutes as a Pokemon Trainer and I'm already lost. Oh wait a second, the map! Thanks Daisy!" He said pulling it out and looking carefully.
"Okay so I'm um…somewhere, and Viridian is here." Char pointed. "So I'm still lost." He grumbled as he put the map away, "Thanks Daisy…"
Looking around lost Char was feeling hopeless, he was bound to never make it out of here. Guiding though a few trees, he saw a building.
"Finally!" He shouted as he ran forward and banged on the door. Char got no answer then he slumped against it.
"So close to civilization and I get a run down shack." He sighed.
"Naw, this here used to be a gym, but I guess it's shut down now." A voice from somewhere said.
"Huh?" Char jumped up confused. Siting on a big rock next to the building was Kain.
"Oh man am I glad to see you! I got something to give ya, and have you found Viridian City yet?"
"Sure, and yes" he said hopping off the rock, "what you got for me?"
Char handed Kain the PokeDex.
"Huh, so this is that thing I forgot to get from Gramps, thanks nerd." He said smirking.
"Yeah and can you help me get to Viridian?" Char asked politely.
"No."
"No?!"
"Yes, no." Kain frowned, "Maybe if you beat me in a Pokemon Battle, I got some cool Pokemon I'm itching to try."
"Ba-Battle?!" Char squeaked, nervous, "but we shouldn't battle against each other, we don't want to just hurt our Pokemon for no reason."
"Bla bla, you want to go to Viridian?"
"Well yeah-"
"Then you got to beat me in a Pokemon Match."
Pokemon Battle engage, each trainer will use their Pokemon until they faint and run out of them. The winner will claim his prize of half the other trainers Money
Kain grabbed a Pokeball from his waist and enlarged it, "C'mon, let's play." Smirking at Char.
