"Morning" Vanessa yawned. "Ready to go Brooke?"
"Yah, just let me go wake up the guys." Brooke said drowsily, "Wish me luck."
Brooke walked down the quiet hall to Kris and Josiah's room. She walked in, and the guys were asleep like a log. Out like a light. Sawing logs. Need I go on? No? Ok, good.
"Guys, get up"
no response
"Come on, wake up"
still nothing
"Fine, you want to stay in bed, fine. Come on out Fiamma"
Brooke tossed her Pokeball, and her Torchic eagerly came out
" Ok Fiamma, do you know what to do?"
Torchic let out a chirp to let Brooke know yes, and hopped up onto Josiah's bed. Torchic let out a few small, mild embers onto Josiah's feet, Josiah quickly sprung up out of bed yelling some things that I really should not be repeating.
When Torchic tried to wake Kris up, some different things happen, Torchic shot out the flames, but no response from Kris
"Yummmm, I smell bacon" Kris snored," Where's that coming from? Is Brooke making breakfast?"
Luckily, Kris woke up enough to see his foot starting to catch on fire. He started screaming something about bacon and fire and more things I shouldn't repeat.
After some arguing, Kris was awake and everyone was ready to go. They left the Pokemon Center and were on their way to the outskirts of the Viridian City, also known as the Viridian Forest.
"Wow, that's a lot of trees" Josiah said.
"No, really?" Vanessa snapped back
"God Vanessa, what's with you?" Josiah said defensivly
"Sorry, but I just had a bad experience with the Viridian Forest"
Flashback
Screen cuts to an 5 year old Vanessa running through the Viridian forest terrified. You can see that she is running away from an assortment of Weedle, Caterpie, and Spinarak . Vanessa trips and hits the ground, and the Pokemon surround her. Vanessa gets up, but panicked when she saw all of the Pokemon around her. Screaming, she runs right through the group of Pokemon, knocking them over.
End Flashback
"I see" Brooke said
"You can't see flashbacks! Only the studio audience can!" Vanessa yelled. "Well anyway, I'm over it now, so there's no problem"
Of course, Vanessa was liying. She was still drop-dead terrified of all kinds of bug Pokemon, but she didn't want the others to know, so she pretended like it didn't bother her, but she wasn't convincing anyone when she cringed everytime something rustled in the bushes.
"Vanessa, are you okay?" Kris asked. "You're acting all twitchy and stuff."
"Yeah, why wouldn't I be okay?" Vanessa shuddered
"Umm, because we all saw that flashback of you running from Bug Pokemon screaming." Josiah answered
"I told you before, that whole event is behind me. There's nothing to worry about, I'm absolutely fine" Vanessa replied
"Ok, whatever" Josiah replied
So the group kept on walking through the forest, with Vanessa leading the pack. Suddenly, a spider-like Pokemon came down on a web coming out of it's rear end... place right in front of Vanessa's face
"AIEEEEEEEE!" Vanessa yelled
"Vanessa! Calm down!" Brooke yelled
"I can't! I lied! I'm not over my fear! I hate Bug Pokemon!" Vanessa replied while running away.
"Ok, she's not coming back, is she?" Kris asked
"Nope" Brooke replied
"okay, well I'm not letting that Pokemon get away!" Kris said. "Come on out Pyro!"
Cindaquil came out ready to battle. Flames were shooting out of it's back fiercely. When the Spider Pokemon came back down. Pyro launched a full-force headbutt attack. Kris pulled out his Pokedex to get some info on the Pokemon.
Spinarak: The Stringspit Pokemon- The web spun by Spinarak can be considered its second nervous system. It is said that this Pokemon can determine what kind of prey is touching its web just by the tiny vibrations it feels through the web's strands.
Right before Pyro's attack connected. The Spinarak climbed back up it's web and evaded the attack. Pyro however, could not aviod an ugly collision with a tree. Ouch, That has to hurt. Pyro shook off the blow to the noggin and tried to tackle again. No luck, another miss.
"This is going from bad to worse." Kris said
"Kris, I think you need a new plan." Brooke told him
"But what else can I do?" Kris asked
"I don't know, but you'd better think of something fast." Brooke answered
So Kris thought and thought and thought and thought about how to catch that god dang Spinarak. Eventually, he got an idea.
"Pyro!" Kris yelled, " Use Flame Thrower to burn the webs!"
Cindaquil did as it was commanded and shot out a burst of flames out of its mouth and burn all of Spinarak's webs.
"Now Pyro, use quick attack while it's off balance!" Kris cheered.
Pyro willingly obeyed and darted straight for Spinarak and connecting strongly making it faint.
"Pokeball Go!" Kris shouted tossing a Pokeball
The Spinarak dissapeared in a flash of red light, the Pokeball wiggled once, twice, three times, we have a winner, collect your prizes at the front desk.
"Sweet! I caught a Spinnarak" Kris proclaimed.
