White Pony: Hi, everybody!
Disclaimer Dude: Hi, White Pony.
White Pony: Heh, a little Simpson's joke. You're on, Disclaimer Dude!
Disclaimer Dude: White Pony does not own Poke'mon. She does own the characters she made up, but not their appearance.
Chapter Four: Rock On
"Hello!" Jessica shouted from inside the Gym which echoed several times, "Cool!"
"You're strange." said Rita.
"Pika." (Yep.) Purge agreed.
"Thanks!" Jessica began bouncing around. Purge and Rita sweatdropped as they watched Jessica bounce around in excitement.
"How did I get im my Gym? Where's Ash, Pikachu, May, and Max?" a dark-skinned teenager with slits for eyes cried in astonishment.
"HI!" Jessica popped up in front of him suddenly, making him cry out in surprise, "Hey, Mr. Gym Leader, sir, will you battle with me now?"
"My name isn't Mr. Gym Leader, it's Brock. I don't know what's going on, but I'll go with it anyway."
"Goodie!"
"Go, Mudkip!" Brock cried, but as soon as Mudkip came out, it turned into Geodude.
"Geodude, Geo!" (I'm back, baby!) Geodude cried happily.
"Okay... Go, Geodude!" Brock corrected.
"Go, Purge!"
"Pika!"
"Thundershock!"
Rita slapped her forehead and Purge charged up her attack and fired full power at Geodude.
"You dolt! Electric attacks don't effect rock Poke'mon!" Rita bellowed.
"Rock Poke'mon?" Jessica blinked in confusion.
"Nevermind!" Rita growled and she sat heavily on a bench that just happened to be there.
"Oh, now I get it!"
"Pika Pika." (It's about time.) Purge mumbled.
"Purge, use Water Gun!"
Purge sighed and managed to pull out a squirt gun full of water out of the plothole. She pulled the trigger and squirted a surprised Geodude.
"Geodude, return!" Brock recalled his fainted Poke'mon then released a different one, "Go, Lombre!"
Brock's Lombre turned into Onix.
"Ooooaaarrrrr!" (Mwahahahahaha!) Onix roared.
"Onix, Tackle!"
Onix lunged forward and crushed Purge.
"Meep!" Jessica squeaked.
"Ouch," said Rita, "That's gotta hurt."
When Onix rose, everyone saw that Purge was flatter than a pancake. Jessica gripped onto Purge's ears and ripped her off the floor. Since she was still flat, Jessica rolled her up like a piece of paper. Jessica took out Nidoran's Poke'ball and released her Poke'mon, but what came out was the fifty pound bag of sugar. It had several holes in it and sugar was pouring out.
"You're Poke'mon is a bag of sugar!"
"No."
Then Nidoran's head popped out of the bag, hyper and cheerful.
"NI!" (HI!) She greeted.
"Go, Nidoran!"
Nidoran grabbed pawfuls of sugar and threw them into Onix's eyes.
"Oaarr!" (My eyes!) Onix cried.
Then Nidoran scattered sugar all over Onix's body. The sugar made its way inside the cracks of the boulders that made Onix's body, making him itchy.
"What's your Nidoran doing to Onix?"
"Sharing her sugar!"
Onix rolled over and squirmed about to get rid of his itching.
"Nooo!" Brock cried in despair, "Onix, return!"
When Brock gave Jessica the Boulderbadge, he was teleported back to his friends. Jessica recalled Nidoran and carried her rolled up Pikachu; Rita tagged along and they went to the Poke'mon Center.
After Jessica's Poke'mon were fully restored, she and Purge and Rita stopped at the Museum. Jessica eyed a shiny chunk of golden amber.
"Fo shizzle my nizzle, home doggie dog!" a random scientist shouted at Jessica, who recoiled in surprise. The random scientist rapped, "Yo, G, do meh a favah an take dis Old Amba ta Cinnabah Island!"
"Okay!" Jessica happily took the Old Amber and put it in her backpack.
"Yo, home skillet.." Before the random scientist could say anything else, one of his colleagues slapped him.
"You're not a gangsta!" the colleague yelled.
Jessica, Purge, and Rita backed away slowly toward the door then sprinted out of Pewter City. They were on their way to Mt. Moon.
"Are we there yet?" asked Jessica.
"No." Rita answered calmly.
"Chu." (No.) Purge also answered calmly.
"Are we there yet?"
"No."
"Chu." (No.)
"Are we there yet?"
"No." Rita was becoming agitated.
"Chu." (No.) Purge was also becoming agitated.
"Are we there yet?"
"No!"
"Chu!" (No!)
"Are we there yet?"
"No!"
"Chu!" (No!)
"Are we there yet?"
"No!"
"Chu!" (No!)
"Are we there yet?"
"NO!" Rita yelled angrily.
"CHU!" (NO!) Purge also yelled angrily.
"Are we there yet?"
"NO!"
"CHU!" (NO!)
"Are we..." Jessica was interrupted with Purge's Thundershock.
"CHUUUU!"
"Finally!"
Jessica twitched slightly and Rita dragged her along. Then someone jumped out of a bush that magically appeared by the road. It was a Bug Catcher. The same Bug Catcher that lead the angry mob of Bug Catchers back in the Viridian Forest. This Bug Catcher didn't seem insane, he was as normal as most trainers. He pointed at the twitching Jessica.
"Hey, I met you in Viridian Forest!"
"Pika! Pika Chu Pikachu!" (Oh no! It's the Bug Catcher!) Purge cried in fear.
Jessica snapped back to reality and looked at the Bug Catcher, "Who are you?"
"Hey says you've met in the Viridian Forest." Rita explained.
"Oh, sorry, but I have a memory span of only five hours."
"Pikachu." (I knew it.)
"That's alright, let's battle!"
"Sure! Go, Nidoran!" Jessica tossed Nidoran's Poke'ball and she popped out holding her bag of sugar.
"Go, Weedle!" The Bug Catcher released a normal Weedle from its Poke'ball, "Weedle, String Shot!"
"Nidoran, Point and Shoot!"
"What?" said Rita, "There's no attack called Point and Shoot! Your Nidoran knows: Tackle, Scratch, Double Kick, and Poison Sting."
"Thanks, Rita!" Jessica happily thanked Rita, who along with Purge was groaning in frustration.
Nidoran had leaped to dodged Weedle's String Shot with ease.
"Nidoran, Tackle!"
Nidoran immediately chugged the rest of her sugar and tackled Weedle with supersonic speed. Weedle was recalled and a Caterpie took its place. Nidoran was recalled into her Poke'ball.
"Go, Purge! Thundershock!"
"PikaaaCHUU!" Purge knocked out Caterpie with one hit of her Thundershock.
"Did we win?" Jessica asked Rita.
"Yes, Jessica, you won."
"Hooray! Victory is mine!"
"Pika?" (Already?)
"Yep, let's go, Purge."
While our three friends were walking along, Rita pressed an interesting question.
"You can understand what your Poke'mon says?"
"Sure I can!" Jessica replied happily.
"Pikachu Pikachu Pika." (I don't know how she does it.)
Jessica locked arms with Rita and dragged her along as she skipped merrily. Purge had to move fast in order to keep up with her skipping trainer and screaming friend.
Minutes later, they all stopped at the foot of Mt. Moon. Rita brushed the dirt off her clothes and glared at Jessica.
"What is your problem?" Rita bellowed in Jessica's face.
"What?" Jessica blinked and tilted her head slightly in confusion.
"Grrrr... Nothing..." Rita growled through clenched teeth.
"Okay, let's go!"
Jessica, Purge, and Rita entered the mouth of Mt. Moon.
