Before I start the story, a few things to say:
Luigi 777: Thanks for bearing with me! Great review!
ShiroDRUID: No dictatorship for you.
Mare: You suck. I don't give a beeping bisquik what you think! You are the biggest idiot ever. You don't even have an account, so I don't give a Bisquiking beep what you think! If you ever review me again, I will cut you up into pieces and sacrifice them to the Aztec god of utter evil. Once again, you suck! At least some flamers are brave enough to let me reply to them…
Chapter 4: The locked gym
Zack and Bulbasaur were walking through Viridian City. They had long ditched the bike, and were winging it through the city. "The Pokemon center should be around… here!" Zack said as he scanned the map once more.
"Bul-ba-saurrr." The injured Pokemon said wearly. Zack entered the Pokemon center and walked up to the counter. The nurse walked up to him, accompanied by a Pokemon carrying an egg.
"Chansey! Chansey!" The egg Pokemon said in a cheery voice.
"Nurse, can you please help my two Pokemon? One's hurt badly, and one is close to fainting." He threw the poke ball containing his new Ekans, and it appeared in a strange position. Zack had never seen a Pokemon in a position like this, and he started to worry.
"Code red!" The nurse told her Chansey. The egg Pokemon grabbed the Ekans and Bulbasaur, and put them on a hospital bed. Then it rushed out of the room. "And you!" The nurse yelled as she pointed at Zack. "You should take better care of your Pokemon! They aren't just tools for your amusement!"
"Okay! I'm sorry! I.." Zack said as he was interrupted by someone opening the door behind him in a hurry.
"Nurse! Can you save my Pokemon?" said a weak and familiar voice said as he hurried up to the counter.
"What have you kids been up to lately!" The nurse yelled in fury as she grabbed the trainer's Pokemon.
"Hey, Mark!" Zack yelled as he ran to greet his friend.
"Zack, are you okay?" Rebecca questioned as the friends all sat down on a bench.
"I am. How about you?" Zack questioned as he looked at the scars down Mark's right arm.
"Yeah, just from those Arbok." He replied as he sighed in great pain.
"Excuse me!" The nurse said as she exited the infirmary where she was treating the Pokemon. "Are you the new trainers from Pallet town?"
"Yes." The three trainers said in unison.
"Great! I need you to deliver this package to professor oak." She said as she extended her arm, revealing a tiny package wrapped in brown paper. "It's his order of Poke' Balls."
"Thanks!" Zack said as he received the package.
"Oh, and your Pokemon have made a full recovery!" She said as she brought out Zack's Bulbasaur and Ekans, Mark's Charmander, and Rebecca's Squirtle.
"All right! How ya feeling, huh?" Zack questioned to his Pokemon.
"E..kan…ss" said the snake Pokemon as Bulbasaur yawned.
"Great! Lets go!" Zack yelled as he ran out the door.
The group continued looking around Viridian City. Zack had misread the map, and they were in the middle of the shopping district, instead of at the gym. "Zack, you idiot!" Rebecca yelled at Zack.
"We're never gonna get to the gym…" Mark said as he pushed Zack.
"Come on! It's not that bad! At least we can get some good food!" Zack yelled as he pointed to a diner. The three entered and sat down at a booth. The waitress passed out cups, and filled them with coffee. Suddenly, two men wearing a black uniform with the letter "R" on it entered the diner and sat behind the three trainers.
"Anyway, you heard the plan?" said one of the men in a hushed tone.
"Yeah, I got it. We meet at the gym and grab the shipment. Then we meet at Mt. Moon." the second one said nervously. The three trainers paid for their food, and continued searching for the gym.
"Boy, that was weird." Mark said as he kicked a rock from under his shoe.
"Yeah." the other two replied as a large building reared its head with the words "gym" on it. Zack ran up to it, and tried to open the door.
"It's stuck!" Zack yelled as he pulled harder.
"Here, you need a little manpower." Mark jeered as he attempted to open the door.
"What you need is a woman's touch." Rebecca said as she grabbed the handle and tried to open the door.
"Why is a Pokemon gym locked now?" Zack questioned as he tried again at opening the door.
"Hey, you! What are you doin' here!" said a man in a black suit. It was the men from the diner!
"Get Outta here!" Said the other man as he threw out a poke' ball. "Go, Kadabra!" He said as a fox with golden fur and a star on it's head popped out of the poke' ball.
"You too, Beedrill!" the other man said as he threw his poke' ball. Out popped a bee with pointed needles instead of hands.
"Well, if it's a fight you want, you'll get one!" Mark yelled as he threw out his Charmander.
"Go, Squirtle!" Rebecca yelled as she threw out her Poke' ball, and out popped a tiny turtle.
"Let's go, Bulbasaur!" Zack yelled as the plant Pokemon jumped out of it's poke' ball.
