Better and Tougher, the Real Adventures
Chapter 3: I Like Girls That Have Big Bugs
We find our main man, Carl Spacro, age 15, walking along from Viridian City. Carl began his journey only 1 day ago, and he already has 3 pokemon, Charmander, Ekans, and Bellsprout. Now he's on his way through the Viridian Forest to reach Pewter City, where he had found out from Professor Oak, would be a nice place to start on his road to becoming a Pokemon Master
'Ah, the forest is so nice and peaceful,' thought Carl as he walked along a forest pathway. WHOOSH! "Who's there?!" shouted Carl nervously as he heard the noises creeping up on him. His worry had stopped when he realized what it was. It looked like a horned worm. "What is that?" he asked, pulling out his Pokedex
'Weedle,' went the Pokedex, 'the hairy worm pokemon! They may look harmless, but the stinger on its head is highly poisonous.
"Really?" asked Carl his Pokedex, which really didn't get any answer. "Ok, Ekans, go!" Yelled Carl as he unleashed his Purple snake as it towered the yellow insect. "Bite it Ekans!" 'Ekans!' hissed Ekans, as he went to bite into Weedle with its poisonous fangs. This victory would be short lived though, for out of a nearby tree, a sticky webbing fell and covered both Ekans and Weedle, 'Weedle!!' yelped the little bug in pain.
Carl began to worry, "Ekans, return!" he said as he managed to pull his pokemon out of the web, but the weedle wasn't so fortunate. It had been pulled up by what appeared to be a spidery creature. Carl referred to Pokedex once more.
'Spinarak,' Pokedex said, 'The Web-weave pokemon. These bugs often trap small insects and other creatures in their webbing before bringing them to their tree homes to be eaten while the prey can only struggle!' "Oh no, I have to help that poor Weedle!" But it was too late! CRUNCH! Carl's jaw dropped, as he shuddered to even look up the tree, but the spider was still there and weedle was completely gone, save for its head stinger, which was just a hollow shell at this point. It had fallen harmlessly to the forest floor.
"Hey, could you help me?" came a voice from behind Carl. The voice was kind and sweet. It was a young lady who looked like she was 14. She had a bright-purple hair, and rather pale skin. Carl thought she was very pretty. It looked as though she was worried about something.
Carl blushed, but responded, "Sure, I'll help you." He said with a slight smile, "What's the matter?"
"I can't find my pokemon." Continued the girl "I lost my Weedle. He was here just a minute ago." She said as she began to worry.
"Oh no!" said Carl as he looked down at the remnants of the Spinarak meal. "I think that this is, or should I say, 'was' your Weedle." Said Carl as he looked at the little stinger. Carl sighed as he told the girl all that happened. "I failed to save him. I'm sorry. I'll understand if you're angry with me."
The girl however, though sad, was not mad at Carl, as she went up to him and touched his shoulder "At least you told the truth." She said, "But thank you."
"Carl. It's nice to meet you."
"Kim." She said, "I was here looking for Pokemon. I guess it's too dangerous alone in these forests."
"Well, how about you come with me. I may not have very much, but I'd be more than happy to see you through safely, even if I don't know the way." Said Carl reassuringly, yet still nervous.
"Thank you. You're very kind!" said Kim.
***
The 2 teens walked through the forest. It was filled with wild birds and bugs of all shapes and sizes. Yet most of them got away before Carl could initiate some form of combat. Then again, you just need to keep at it until you succeed as they always say. Facing backwards was a wild little sphere. Looked like a red beetle with 5 black spots on its back.
'Ledyba,' went Pokedex, 'The 5 spot pokemon. These flying insects are said to use the dots on their back to navigate with the stars at night. Their shells are sturdy and protect their wings during flight.'
"Well, this sounds like a good catch!" said Carl, "Go Bellsprout," called Carl as his plant pokemon popped out. "Give it a vine whip." Which the small flytrap obeyed, but the attack seemed rather ineffective, for Ledyba just flew above the vines ready to dive attack at Bellsprout. "Give it some stun spore!" commanded Carl. The bug tried to escape, but it was already affected by the spore, and fell to the ground immobilized. "Poke- ball."
"Go!" called an evil feminine voice as another poke-ball hit the Ledyba and took it inside. The bug was in no shape to fight back, so it was as good as claimed. "Thanks for helping us there kiddo." Called a voice. Then Carl gasped at the sight.
"You again! Don't you guys learn?" asked Carl angrily.
"Of course we did." Said the girl. It was Team Rocket. Bonnie held the ball in her hand. "More importantly though, it seems to have paid off. Thanks for the bug, twerp." "No time for mottos or games, lets get out of here! Paras, spore attack!"
"Spore?" asked Carl, as he looked at Pokedex, 'Spore: Paras' and it's evolved form Parasect's most valuable move. This attack puts enemies to sleep, and has extreme accuracy.'
"Oh no!" said Kim, as they drifted off to a deep sleep.
"Let's get out of here before they wake up!" said William as the 2 of them ran off with their new Ledyba.
***
"This forest is huge!" said William as he and Bonnie kept searching for a way out. "It's like we're going in circles!" he nearly screamed.
"Don't worry about it so much." Said Bonnie as they kept walking. Then came the sounds. BZZZZZ!
"Don't do that!" shouted William.
"That wasn't me you dolt!" said Bonnie with fear in her voice. It was then that the Buzzing got even louder and louder until.
"AHH! Beedrills!" they both shouted as the giant bees surrounded them. They began to attack! "Ouch! Ooh! Ah!" they yelped in pain as they tried to run, then said in unison, "Looks like Team Rocket's Buzzing off!"
***
Carl and Kim were sleeping on the forest floor. Luckily they hadn't been found by anything feral during the sleep, such as hungry spiders or angry bugs. A few hours had passed before either of them woke up. Kim managed to wake up first. She looked down at Carl. He was a nice guy, or so she thought, and he seemed very brave. She merely smiled, as she sat near him, waiting for him to wake up. "Funny how things work out sometimes."
It was only about 3 minutes later that Carl would awaken. And when he did, "Ugh! Those horrible rockets!" he growled angrily. He was upset, and Kim could tell. He had to make sure his other Pokemon were still there.
"Are you ok Carl?" asked a concerned Kim.
Carl didn't answer, but just threw his 3 poke-balls. 'Charmander!' 'Bellsprout!' 'Ekans!' replied his 3 pokemon, "I suggest you make sure you weren't robbed either!" he states flatly to Kim.
"Good idea!" says Kim as she threw 3 poke-balls. The first pokemon is a small green bird. The next is a blue squid with what looks like red dots on its head. The last looks like a Chikorita.
"What are those?" asks Carl, referring to Pokedex for help. 'Natu, the totem bird.' Pokedex stated, 'They have very short wings that are not yet ready for great flight, but grow in due time like its naturally sharp mind.' It paused and showed the squid, 'Tentacool! These squid pokemon use their tentacles to wrap their prey, and then inject them with venom for an easy kill!' "Interesting."
"Maybe we should get moving before it gets late." Suggested Kim as the time turned to dusk.
"Good idea." Replied Carl, as they began to walk and look for a way out. It wasn't long until they saw what looked like a forest clearing.
"This looks like the way to Pewter to me," said Kim looking at the surroundings near her. It wouldn't be happy searching for long though, as another Ledyba came flying by.
"This time I'm not going to let it escape my grasp!" said Carl as he released Charmander to battle the Weedle! "Charmander, Flame Wheel!" he commanded as his pokemon complied and trapped the Ledyba in a ring of heated flames. The bug was not used to such temperatures, and fell to the ground as it attempted to avoid burning itself. "Poke-ball go!" went Carl as he threw his poke-ball at the fallen insect. The ball shook on the floor a few times, but then sealed shut.
"Nice catch!" commented Kim.
"Thanks. Good work Charmander!" he said to his fiery lizard.
***
"This is Pewter City, huh?" asked Carl as he stared at the rocky nature of the town and the heavy gray. "What a sudden contrast to the Forest." He said looking behind him, but merely shrugged it off.
"Indeed. I have to agree. It's nice here though." Replied Kim in a rather blank tone as they walked together into the city.
It looks like Carl is on his way. With 4 pokemon, and the determination to be a master, he might have what it takes to win. Who knows what will happen? Well, only I know, but you can find out next time. Stay tuned, and don't forget to review.
