Chapter Two: Attack of the Bug Catchers.
Jessica and Purge were standing before a shaky old man holding an oversized mug of coffee.
"Ah, I've had my coffee and now I feel great!" exclaimed the jittered old man, then he took a sip of his coffee, "COFFEE! COFFEE! COFFEE! COFFEE!"
The confused trainer and the terrified Pikachu bolted and ran as fast as they could toward the Viridian Forest.
"Wait! Don't you want me to show you how to catch Poke'mon!" asked the caffeine driven old man, then he took another sip of his coffee, "COFFEE!"
"Grandpa, I think you've had enough coffee." said a young woman as she began to advance upon the old man's mug.
"NEVER! MY COFFEE! COFFEE!" the old man screamed.
The old man ran behind a bush and protectively held his mug close to him as if it were a child.
Jessica and Purge were at the foot of the Viridian Forest and breathless from their frightening encounter with the coffee addicted old man.
"Did we... lose... him, Purge?" Jessica asked between breaths.
"Pikachu... Pi Pika... Pikachu." (I don't think... he was even... following us.)
"Hi," greeted a boy standing by a large tree, "I came here with some of my friends. They're itching for Poke'mon fights."
Suddenly, another boy was running frantically about, then he dove behind a tree stump and trembled like a frightened puppy. His clothes were tattered, his glasses were cracked, his hair was messy, and one of his shoes was gone.
"Hi!" Jessica greeted the whimpering boy happily, of course, completely unaware that the boy had just barely survived a horrific encounter deeper within the Viridian Forest.
The boy curled up into a ball and began to rock back and forth, repeating the same thing over and over again, "They're out to get us all... They're out to get us all... They're out to get us all..."
"Who?" asked Jessica, who was beginning to sense that something was amiss.
"The Bug Catchers!" cried the psychologically scarred boy, and he fell back to the ground and sobbed uncontrollably.
"Pi!" Purge gasped.
"What are Bug Catchers?" Jessica asked, totally clueless as usual.
Purge snatched the Poke'Dex from her trainer's pants pocket, opened it, and pressed a few buttons.
"Bug Catchers are psychotic Poke'mon trainers that train only bug Poke'mon. They are very dangerous and always carry with them a small box that holds either a mutant Caterpie or Weedle. If you anger a Bug Catcher, he will release his mutant bug from its tiny cage and sick it on you."
"Cool! The Poke'Dex looks almost like a Game Boy!" exclaimed Jessica, completely ignoring the information that was given.
"Pi!" Purge face faulted.
"Anyway, let's go, Purge!"
Jessica picked up her Pikachu, who was slightly trembling in fear, and headed deeper into the Viridian Forest. The boy standing next to the large tree just remembered that he forgot to sedate his Bug Catcher friends before he turned them loose into the forest. He quickly rummaged through his bag to take out the sedative. When he pulled his hands out, the needles of the shots had pierced his skin and he was being injected with the sedative.
"Uh, oh." the boy instantly collapsed.
Our two explorers were making their way through the Viridian Forest. Purge was trying to urge her trainer to move faster, hoping not to bump into any Bug Catchers. No trainer has ever went into the Viridian Forest without bumping into a Bug Catcher, and Jessica was no exception.
Suddenly, someone jumped out of a tree and landed on his feet almost on cue. He stood before Jessica and Purge and gave them a menacing glare that would even make the legendary pro wrestler Hulk Hogan ran away crying for his mommy. Purge ran behind her trainer to avoid any sudden attack. Jessica, however, felt no hostility from the creature. It was a Bug Catcher.
"Hi, I'm Jessica! What's your name?"
"You have Poke'mon? Let's fight!" the Bug Catcher cried. He took out a Poke'ball and released a Caterpie, "Go, Caterpie!"
"Yay! My first Poke'mon battle!" Jessica exclaimed happily as she jumped up and down, "Go, Purge!"
Although Purge didn't think it wasn't a good idea to fight the Bug Catcher, it was her duty to obey her trainer.
"Pika!" Purge darted from behind Jessica and got into a battling position.
"Purge, use Splash!"
"Pi?" (What?) Purge looked back at Jessica and cocked her head.
"What's wrong, Purge?"
"Pikachu doesn't know Splash, you dimwit." said the Poke'Dex that was lying on the ground.
"Oh, then use Thundershock, Purge!"
"PikaaaCHUUU!" Purge charged up the electricity inside her cheeks and fired her attack.
Purge's Thundershock attack zapped the Caterpie and he tipped over like an unbalanced object. Not only the Caterpie was hit, but do to lack of training, Jessica and the Bug Catcher were also victims of the electric attack.
The Bug Catcher's eye twitched and he recalled his Caterpie.
"You have sizzled my beautiful bug Poke'mon! I shall cast a plague onto your house!" the Bug Catcher yelled angrily.
Back at Pallet Town, it was raining frogs. Mom was outside watering her 'Unfortunate Pedestrian-Eating' plants.
"Froggies!" she cried and ran into the house, "Protect the wigs and manholes!"
One of the 'Unfortunate Pedestrian-Eating' plants caught a poor frog in its hungry jaws and belched loudly after swallowing it.
Back in the Viridian Forest, Jessica and Purge were face-to-face with a mad Bug Catcher. The Bug Catcher eyed his prey and brandished his case that contained his prized beast. Frightened, Purge backed into a tree.
"Uh-oh." said Jessica and she also backed up.
Purge looked up to her trainer and thought that Jessica had finally realized that they're in trouble. The Bug Catcher came closer laughing madly.
"No! I'm not interested in anything you're selling!"
"Pi!" Purge face faulted. She should've known Jessica wouldn't be smart enough to realize the danger in their current situation.
The Bug Catcher grinned evilly and opened the case and a mutant Weedle jumped out. It's color was a much darker yellow and it had long hairs coming out of his body like whiskers. The mutant Weedle pulled a top hat and a cane out of the plot hole, he put on the hat, and began tap dancing.
"What's it doing?"
"The Bug Catcher's mutant bug's ritual tap dance before attacking its prey." explained the Poke'Dex that magically appeared in Jessica's hand.
The mutant Weedle stopped dancing and he ripped apart his hat and snapped his cane in half. Jessica and Purge blinked in confusion as the mutant Weedle destroyed his own props. Then the mutant Weedle turned to his victims and pulled out the deadly weapon that is feared by all Bug Catcher victims... Magical Fruit Gushers.
"The Magical Fruit Gushers wielded by the mutant bug Poke'mon are feared by all Bug Catcher victims. The mutant bug will shove the Magical Fruit Gushers in the victims' mouth and their heads will turn into a fruit."
"Noooo! I don't wanna be a fruithead!"
"Pika!" (Me neither!)
The mutant Weedle ripped open the package and chuckled like Snoopy.
"Purge! Thundershock!"
"PikaaaCHU!"
The mutant Weedle shrieked as he was being shocked. After the attack, the mutant Weedle dropped his Magical Fruit Gushers and crawled back into his cage, yelping like a wounded dog.
The Bug Catcher hissed and blew a whistle. In exactly 59.42 seconds, more Bug Catchers arrived. The released their Poke'mon and ordered them to avenge their friend's defeat.
"Alright, Purge, let's take em down!"
"Pi!" (Yeah!)
A bunch of Caterpie used String Shot at the same time, but Purge leaped out of the way before she could become entangled within the ball of string. When the Caterpie cease-fired, Purge jumped onto the ball of string they made and ran backwards to move it forward. When the ball of string hit the crowd of Caterpie, the sound effect of a bowling ball striking pins was heard.
"Pika!" (Strike!) exclaimed Purge, then a giant 'X' appeared.
Then Metapod and Kakuna were catapulted toward Purge. Purge grabbed the giant 'X' and used it as a shield. When the Metapod and Kakuna hit the 'X', they bounced off and flew into trees. After many impacts, the 'X' crumbled.
Weedle stiffened their bodies and were hurled like darts at Purge, but she dodged every flying Weedle. Every Weedle went headfirst into a tree and their stingers stuck in the bark. The Bug Catchers' Poke'mon were defeated.
"Good job, Purge!"
"Pikachu!" ('V' for victory!) Purge held her paw in the air and did the victory pose.
Bug Catchers recalled their Poke'mon and turned toward their enemies. Jessica ran in front of her Pikachu to protect her. Purge looked up to her trainer and felt the seed of affection beginning to sprout. The Bug Catchers were slowly making their was toward Jessica and Purge, walking like zombies. Jessica sat on the ground, still protecting her Poke'mon. She tried to think of what to do next, but resulted in a headache. There was nothing she could do and the Bug Catchers were getting closer.
This was it. The Bug Catchers were in range. One Bug Catcher, the one defeated earlier, stepped forward to make the first attack. Purge was shaking like a soaked cat having a seizure, but Jessica was oblivious to any fear do to stupidity. The Bug Catcher pounced and Jessica flailed her arms wildly, hoping to slap him aside. Suddenly, the Bug Catcher crashed to the ground into a deep sleep. Jessica, Purge, and the other Bug Catchers examined the sleeping one and found a tranquilizer dart in his neck. When a single Bug Catcher was about to remove the tranquilizer dart, he too, was hit.
"Nighty night, little fishy." the Bug Catcher mumbled before falling to sleep.
The confused individuals looked into the direction the darts were being fired and there was the boy Jessica and Purge met earlier.
"Are you two alright?" he asked Jessica and Purge.
"Yeah, we're fine!" Jessica chirped happily.
The boy cocked his tranquilizer gun and pointed it at the Bug Catchers, who were scrambling to get away. Jessica and Purge stood clear as the boy fired away. Eventually, every Bug Catcher was hit, then sent to dreamland and snoring loudly.
"Thanks for saving us! You're welcome to come with us if you want, Josh." Jessica offered.
"Thanks, but no thanks," the boy, Josh, replied firmly, "My rightful place is here. I must..."
Just then, a Bug Catcher was sitting and attempting to escape, but Josh instantly shot him with another dose of sedative and was asleep again.
"I must stay to keep my friends under control and to make sure this never happens again."
"What happened?"
"Ah!" Josh face faulted and so did Purge.
Jessica and Purge said their goodbyes to Josh. After a couple of hours of walking, a clearing became visible. They ran after the light and were out of the Viridian Forest. It shouldn't be too long before our heroes enter Pewter City.
To be continued...
