CHAPTER 5: The evil growing from within
"I choose" said Dan taking out a Pokeball. "Golduck!" Dan threw the ball and a tall blue duck-like pokemon came out. "Golduck use Disable" commanded Dan. "Your Spearow's gust is now disabled Giovanni". "Now Confusion"! After a few short seconds Spearow started flying around and around in a circle confused. "Grr…Spearow return" said Giovanni returning his flying pokemon. "Go Nidorino!" he said throwing a pokeball. Giovanni had been working on Nidorino's speed a lot back in Mt. Moon, so he should be able to chase Golduck down. "Nidorino chase Golduck down and deliver the poison sting"! demanded Giovanni. Nidorino jumped from platform to platform to chase Golduck. "Golduck don't let that Nidorino chase you down, hydro pump"! shouted Dan. Golduck stoped on a platform faced Nidorino opened it's beak and a gigantic stream of water hit Nidorino and pushed him into the pool. Dan laughed.
All of a sudden something jumped out of the water right by Golduck's platform. It was Nidorino! It instantly stabbed Golduck in the stomach with it's big horn and delivered poison. "That's what I call a bad stomach ache" said Miyamoto. Golduck fell down on the platform rolling around in pain. "Now Nidorino finish it off with Horn Attack!"demanded Giovanni. "STOP!" yelled Dan rushing to the poisoned Golducks side. "Hey you can't…" started Giovanni. "I forfeit, you win" said Dan. "Just take the Cascade Badge and leave" he said throwing the badge to Giovanni. He caught it in midair. "Why are you so…" started Giovanni. "JUST LEAVE, BEFORE I CALL OFFICER JENNY OVER HERE!" yelled out Dan. "Fine" the trainer replied returning his Nidorino. He jumped into the water and swam back to the other side. Giovanni walked out of the gym with Miyamoto following him. "Leave…for I sense evil growing within you" mumbled Dan.
"Why does he hate me so much Miyamoto, why?" asked Giovanni after they were back outside. "I don't know" said Miyamoto. "Hey at least you got your Cascade badge" "Yeah" he said putting the badge in the same pocket in his backpack as the Boulder Badge was in. "Let's go to the Pokemon Center and let your Pokemon heal up, ok?" said Miyamoto happily, trying to cheer Giovanni up. "Ok" he replied.
A few days later they were back on the road, this time to Vermillion city when all of a sudden they spotted something. "Giovanni look, it's a Pokeball!" said Miyamoto pointing at the dirty red and white ball on the ground. Giovanni picked it up. "I wonder if there's a Pokemon in there, if there is it must already belong to somebody" said Miyamoto. He threw the ball and out came a Nidorina! "It's a Nidorina!" gasped Miyamoto, "that's the pokemon you've constantly been looking for, too bad it already belongs to someone". Ignoring what Miyamoto had said Giovanni returned the pokemon to it's pokeball and hooked it on his belt! "Giovanni what are you doing!" yelled Miyamoto "that's stealing!" "You don't see anybody around here claiming it do you?" he said. "What we should really do is turn it in to Officer Jenny" she suggested. "Why put Officer Jenny through so much trouble about it, she's got enough to deal with" said Giovanni starting to walk down the path. "Hmm…ok" said Miyamoto nervous.
