A New Adventure
Chapter Two
Last Time On Chapter 1...
''Well, I hope you do well on your journey, but before you go, you have to sign in to compete in the Janto League!'' Professor Powers said, as he pulled out a book and a pen.
''Thanks,'' Ash said, as he took the pen and signed the book.
''No problem, here you go, here's five pokeballs and a Pokedex, if you complete this whole Pokedex, I'll give you something in return…,'' Professor Powers said.
''Alright, I'll try to,'' Ash said, with a smile.
''Well, you better go now, it's already 11:00 so go and start your new adventure!'' Professor Powers said.
''Ok bye Professor Powers!'' Ash said, as he left the Lab with Charid on his shoulder.
''You have a long journey my friend…,'' Professor Powers whispered and he went back to work.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ash and Charid were walking through the wildness, when suddenly Ash catched sight of a familiar person looking at through the grass. That person was…Megan!
''Hey Megan!'' Ash shouted out in the persons direction. She turned around to see that it wasn't Megan, but a girl his age with blonde hair and blue eyes with a normal shirt on with a Raichu on it and a white skirt on.
''I'm not Megan…,'' The girl said.
''Oh sorry I mistaken you by someone,'' Ash apologized.
''I'm always mistaken! Why do everyone think I'm my sister!'' The girl asked.
''Megan's your sister?'' Ash said, with surprise.
''Yeah,'' The girl said.
''Err…what's your name?'' Ash asked.
''Karen, Karen Roberts…,'' Karen said.
''Oh, I'm Ash Ketchum, nice to meet ya,'' Ash said, as he hold his hand out to let Karen shake it.
''Wait a second, I thought I saw you before, you're Ash Ketchum who won the Hoenn League this year!'' Karen said, as she took Ash's hand firmly and shook it.
''How does everyone here know me!'' Ash shouted out.
''Err…because everyone in Janto watched the final match in the Hoenn League,'' Karen said, with a smile.
''Oh yeah, everyone watches the final match,'' Ash said.
''Well, anyways you better get used to people knowing you since you will be getting a lot of it on your journey…,'' Karen said.
''How do you know I'm on a journey? Because you heard rumours I was coming here to compete here?'' Ash said sarcastically.
''No, because you have a Pokemon on your shoulder,'' Karen said, pointing at Charid.
''Oh yeah, it must be obvious,'' Ash said, as he rubbed the back of his neck.
''Yeah, it's really obvious,'' Karen said.
''So do you no where Megan has gone?'' Ash asked.
''Yeah she's at home getting ready for her journey around Janto,'' Karen said.
''Does she want to go around Janto alone?'' Ash asked.
''Yup, she said she wants to go around alone,'' Karen said.
''Ok, so what are you doing to do?'' Ash asked.
''I'll be travelling too, as you can see,'' Karen said, as she pointed at a blue backpack on the ground.
''Do you want to travel with me?'' Ash said.
''Me? Travel with you? Sure since it will be quite lonely travelling alone…'' Karen said.
''Great, do you have everything with you?'' Ash curiously asked.
''Yep, I have everything I need to explore the Janto…,'' Karen said.
''Ok, let's go then!'' Ash said, as he started walking off.
''Hey wait up!'' Karen said, as she grabbed her bag and ran off to catch up with Ash.
''Do you know which town we are heading to?'' Ash asked.
''Yeah it's Mapois Town,'' Karen said.
''Ok…,'' Ash said. On there way, they seemed to see three pathways to someplace.
''Err, which path?'' Ash asked.
''Umm….this one!'' Karen said, as she pointed at the left path.
''Ok, let's keep going then,'' Ash said, as he headed off in the left path direction. Karen followed. If only a tree wasn't blocking the sign to Mapois Town! They were heading off to the forest, which was highly dangerous. But our friends don't know that! Ash and Karen kept on going until they got to a forest.
''I think that Mapois Town is behind this forest!'' Ash exclaimed, as he entered the dark and gloomy looking forest. Karen stayed well behind Ash, since she didn't have any Pokemon on her and the forest spooked her. Ash kept going until he got to a dead end.
''What!… It's a dead end!'' Ash said.
''I think I chose the wrong path, sorry…,'' Becky said, as she looked at her feet.
''Never mind, let's just go back now…,'' Ash said, but when he turned around he realised that that there was 4 paths in front of him and he couldn't remember which path it was.
''Which path did we take to get here?'' Karen asked.
''I don't know…,'' Ash said, dumbfounded.
''Let's choose this one then!'' Karen said, as she grabbed Ash's hand and pulled him off onto the right path, but all that caused was getting them more lost!
''We are completely lost now…,'' Ash said.
''Char!'' Charid shouted, as he bounced off Ash's shoulder and onto the ground.
''What is it Charid?'' Ash asked.
''Charid!'' Charid shouted, pointing west.
''You think that's the way out of this forest?'' Ash asked.
''Char…,'' Charid said, nodding.
''Well this ways better than nothing…let's go!'' Ash said, as he picked up Charid and put him back on his shoulder. ''Come on!'' Ash said.
''Ok…,'' Karen said. They ran off west until they saw light coming to them. He then ran out of the forest and slowed down.
''Yes! We're out now!'' Ash said, as he stroked Charid's head, with her stroking back with her head.
''Hey look! There's a sign saying that Mapois Town is the path in the middle!'' Karen said, her eyes looking at the sign.
''Then let's go already!'' Ash said, running off onto the middle path.
''Not again!'' Karen protested, as she followed Ash. Soon enough, they got to Mapois Town, but when they were about two metres away from the gate into Mapois Town, a strange guy, around Ash's age appeared and stopped him from getting through.
''Can you move please?'' Ash said politely.
''No, not before you battle me,'' The Mystery Boy said.
''I don't want to battle you, I just want to go through to Mapois Town…,'' Ash said and walked to the gate, but the Mystery Boy pushed him back to where he was.
''You better battle me, or you won't get through,'' The Mystery Boy said.
''No, I don't want to battle you…,'' Ash said.
''…unless you trade me that pretty girl that is standing next to you…,'' The Mystery Boy said.
''I can't do that, she's my friend,'' Ash said. Karen was grateful that she wasn't going to be traded to a stranger.
''Fine, then battle me!'' The Mystery Boy said.
''Fine!'' Ash said and he turned his legendary Hoenn cap backwards.
''Let's go! Go, Bulburoar!'' The Mystery Boy shouted.
''Come on, we can do this Charid!'' Ash shouted out, as his Charid jumped off Ash's shoulder.
''Bulburoar, use tackle!'' The Mystery Boy said.
''Try and dodge it Charid! Then use scratch on it!'' Ash said to Charid. Charid nodded and dodged Bulburoar just on time, then Charid used scratch on Bulburoar. After Charid attacked Bulburoar, Bulburoar got back up with hardly any energy left.
''Go on, use tackle again!'' The Mystery Boy said. So Bulburoar, with all of its strength tried to tackle Charid, but on the last second Bulburoar dropped to the floor, fainted. With anger, The Mystery Boy got Bulburoar back into its Pokeball and ran off without a word to say to Ash. After The Mystery Boy disappeared through the gates, he went up to Charid and got him back onto his favourite spot, his shoulder. He praised Charid, then he went through the gates. Karen was in a trance with Ash. She was starting to like him a lot. So far, he had been nice to her. He was the first person that was better than all her other friends, even better than Buck, her old boyfriend. She still remembered Buck, she couldn't forget about him, he had caused her a lot of pain. She then slowly got into a flashback…
Flashback
Karen was playing with Megan, her twin sister. Suddenly, someone grabbed Megan by her hair. I looked up to find Buck. Megan by now was crying since Buck's grip on her hurt her hair.
''Let go of her Buck!'' Becky shouted out.
''Not until you promise to be my girlfriend!'' Buck said.
''I'll never be your girlfriend, even if you were the last person in the world!'' Karen replied back.
''Well you have to since I won't let go of your sister if you don't!'' Duck said. Karen was beaten, she didn't want her sister to be hurt.
''Ok…you win…just let go of Megan…,'' Karen said, with sadness in her throat.
''Hahahahaha! Your finally my girlfriend, lets start now!'' Buck said, letting go of Megan and took hold of Karen by the waist. He tried to put his lips on her own, but Karen kept struggling and Buck finally gave up. Instead, he slapped her right on the face and spat at her.
''Kiss me or else!'' Beck said, with anger in his eyes.
''Never!'' Karen said and she ran away, her a hurt cheek. She ran home so fast that it only took moments. She got home and ran straight into her room, locking it on the way in. She then leaned on her bed and cried to herself, that was until her Mom came up.
''Karen, sweetie, you alright?'' Mom said.
''Yes…I'm fine…,'' Karen said, taking in her sobs with one gulp.
''That's good, since your going on your Pokemon Journey tomorrow. Megan will come back from the Kanto League tomorrow to, so I want you say bye to her before you leave…,'' Said Mom, and she left Karen.
''Hopefully, I won't meet Buck on my journey…,'' Karen whispered and went into deep slumber.
Flashback ends…
''You alright Karen? You been standing on the same spot for ten minutes,'' Ash said.
''Huh? I have?'' Karen said, looking at Ash right in the eye.
''Yeah, come on, I'm starving!'' Ash said, with hunger. Ash's stomach started to moan for food and also Karen's.
''Yeah I'm hungry too,'' Karen said, with hunger in her voice this time.
''Then let's go!'' Ash said and he ran off into Mapois Town with speed.
''Not again…,'' Karen said, but she was willing to run to the Pokemon Center for some lunch, she was starving! So she ran off with two things in her mind, food and Ash…
