Chapter 4: Greg
Aaron was at the entrance to Cherrygrove and was looking eastward.
"I wonder what all is out there."
"Well, well. If it isn't the loser. Did you finally get your Pokemon?" a boy said as he walked up to Aaron.
"Hello Greg. And yes I did."
"Why don't we battle to see who is better?"
"You're on."
"Totodile! Go!"
"Static! Let's do this!"
"Totodile! Scratch!"
"Thundershock!"
"PIIIIKKKAAAACHUUUU!"
"Totodile! Return! You win this round loser. But I'll return."
"I'll count on it."
"I just hope you can cope without having a mother to cheer you on."
This statement hit Aaron harder than having a Snorlax dropped on him. (A/N: Ouch)
"SHUT UP!"
"Hahahahaha"
Greg walked away laughing.
"Pikachu?" (Are you ok?)
"This is always how our fights go. They always end with Greg making some remark about Mom. YOU WATCH GREG! I WILL FIND MY MOTHER AND FIND OUT THE TRUTH!" Aaron tried to hold back the tears.
"PIKA!" (YEAH!)
"Thanks Static. Now let's go to Violet Town."

After meeting Guide Gent and acquiring a map of the Johto and Kanto region, Aaron set off towards Violet.
"Cyndaquil! Use Tackle!"
"Cynda!"
"Pokeball! Go!"
WIGGLE WIGGLE WIGGLE DING
"ALRIGHT! I CAUGHT A PIDGEY!"
"Pi Pikachu!" (We rule)
"Cyndaquil!" (Oh yeah)

"Welcome to Violet City. Can I help you?"
"Yes. I need my Pokemon rested for the gym battle."
"Very well."

Aaron went straight to the gym. He was hoping that Falkner wasn't in the middle of a battle.
Instead,
CLOSED: OUT TO LUNCH
"Oh come ON." Aaron complained
"Can I help you?" a man came from behind Aaron.
"Yes. Do you know when the gym leader will be back?"
"I better know. I'm Faulkner the Gym Leader."
"Really? I'm Aaron Ketchem from New Bark. I came to challenge you for a badge."
"Very well. I accept your challenge."
