Pokemon Universe
Episode 2 Rival Kaz, and the Thieving Hoothoot
Narrator: Our hero Trent begins his Pokemon journey by walking through the Cherryville Forest, in search of new pokemon but it appears he's lost!
Trent: Man, I'm lost! Everything in this freaking forest looks the same!
Pichu: (sigh) Piiii...Pi!
Trent: What's up Pichu? You hear something?
(Pichu then runs towards the source of the noise it heard, and Trent quickly follows after, They then see what appears to be a Pokemon Battle.)
Kaz: Ok Torchic, use Ember!
(Torchic fires small flames out of its mouth towards a Spearow in the air)
Trent: What's that Pokemon?
(Trent then points his Pokedex at Spearow)
Pokedex: Spearow: Very protective of its territory, it flaps its short wings busily to dart around at high speed.
Trent: Woah! and what's that Pokemon?
(Trent points the Pokedex at Torchic)
Pokedex: Torchic: A fire burns inside, so it feels very warm to hug. It launches fireballs of 1,800 degrees F.
Trent: Now that I think about it, I saw a Torchic at the old man's lab, I didn't know they could get this powerful!
(As the battle continues Spearow gets hit with Ember and falls down to the ground, Kaz then throws a Pokeball at the weakened pokemon and the ball opens to capture Spearow,
the ball then wiggles three times and clicks to show that Spearow has been captured.)
Trent: That guy caught the Spearow, cool!
(Opening Sequence)
Kaz: Is there someone behind that bush?
(Trent runs out of the bushes to praise Kaz on his capture)
Trent: Catching that Spearow was the coolest thing I've seen all day!
Kaz: Really? If you were that amazed by seeing that, you must be a beginner what's your name?
Trent: Trent, and your's ?
Kaz: I'm Kaz! and soon I'm gonna be the greatest Pokemon Trainer in the world, not that you would understand kid, when did you start your journey yesterday?
Trent: ...uhhhh yeah
Kaz: Hahahhahahaha! I knew it! You are a rookie!
(Kaz falls to the floor laughing)
Trent: Hey! well what about you? When did you start your journey?
Kaz: Three days ago
(Trent falls to the floor but not in laughter, but in shock of the irony)
Trent: So you're no better than me! You're a beginner too!
Kaz: And that's where you're wrong rookie, Torchic and I spent these three days doing nothing but hard training, we may have just started are journey but we are still years ahead in experience then you are!
Trent: Oh yeah! Well how about proven it! in a Pokemon Battle!
Kaz: I decline, Torchic won't get any experience battling a weakling like you, and is that your pokemon? Hahaha! That Pichu won't last two seconds in a battle with us!
Pichu: chu?
Trent: What's the matter scared?
Kaz: You know what? Fine I'll battle you, Torchic may be a bit weakened from it's fight with Spearow, but it should have more than enough power to defeat your little rat.
Pichu: (Gnarls) Piiiiiichu!
Torchic: (smirks) Torchic
Trent: Alright then let's go!
Trent VS. Kaz
Kaz: Torchic use Peck!
(Torchic charges with its beak towards Pichu)
Trent: Pichu use Headbutt
(Pichu counters the Peck attack with Headbutt but it appears that Torchic is stronger and only slides back, while Pichu has fallen backwards)
Kaz: Alright now Torchic uses Ember!
Trent: Pichu dodge it!
(Torchic fires Ember towards Pichu, Pichu manages to dodge it by running to the left)
Kaz: Just what I wanted, now Torchic combines Peck with Ember, charge!
(Torchic runs forward for a Peck attack, and then Torchic's beak starts to emit small flames around it, this combination attack hits Pichu immediately after it dodges the first ember attack.
The force of this attack sends Pichu flying and Pichu then faints)
Trent: Oh man...Pichu!
(Trent walks towards the fainted Pichu and then he looks down in shame)
Kaz: Torchic return
(Torchic is then returned to his pokeball and Kaz walks off)
Kaz: I told you I'd win...come talk to me again when you're a stronger rookie! By the way there's some Oran Berries in the trees a couple of blocks from here, you should give them to Pichu so it can regain health, see ya!
(Later that afternoon Pichu gets healed and slowly wakes up, the first thing Pichu sees is a very disappointed Trent)
Trent: Oh, glad to see you're awake...I can't sleep though, not after the loss we took, how am I supposed to be a great trainer if I can't battle as well as Kaz did? He beat us like we were nothing.
Pichu: (Frown) Pichu pi
Trent: We gotta get stronger so I can beat him next time!
(Just then Trent and Pichu's stomach begin to growl)
Pichu: Pichuuuu
Trent: I'm surprised you're hungry, you had the Oran Berries, but that was a while ago, I'm hungry too. Don't worry Pichu, My mom packed Pokemon food in my bag.
(Trent checks his bag and finds the Pokemon food can, but unfortunately it is empty)
Trent: Oh yeah I forgot...I used it all up tryna to get the Beedrill away from you
Pichu: (Sob) Piiiiiiiiichuuuuu
(Trent checks his bag further and only manages to find a small sandwich)
Trent: Oh man! that's it? Well I can't just let Pichu starve, I'll split this. Well Pichu, it's not much but it's all we have for now so let's dig in!
Pichu: (Happy) Chu!
(Trent eats his half of the sandwich but just before Pichu eats his half a small owl like bird swoops down, and snatches the sandwich out of Pichu's hand, Pichu ends up biting his hand)
Pichu: Piiiiiiiiiii!
Trent; What was that? what happened?
(The bird is in front of Trent and Pichu eating Pichu's Sandwich and turns to look at them and turns back as it pays them no more attention)
Pichu: (Sob) Chu chu Pi!
Trent: So that must be the pokemon that took Pichu's food, what is it?
(Trent points the Pokedex at it)
Pokedex: Hoothoot: It has a perfect sense of time. Whatever happens, it keeps rhythm by precisely tilting its head in time.
Trent: A Hoothoot huh? Wait a minute! This is our chance to get stronger. Pichu! you want your food back right?
(Pichu nods his head up and down)
Pichu: Pichu!
Trent: Well, we're gonna earn your food back by battling this Hoothoot! so Let's Go!
Pichu: Pi!
Trent: Alright Pichu, use Thundershock!
(Pichu unleashes small bolts of electricity towards Hoothoot, Hoothoot then sees them and smoothly moves out of the way.
The resulting Thundershock has a bit of recoil on it sense Pichu can't control its own electricity yet and it ends up shocking itself)
Hoothoot: (Laughing) Hoo hoo hoo!
Trent: Come on Pichu! you can get back up! and use Headbutt!
(Pichu shakes off the damage and charges Hoothoot with head but, again Hoothoot dodges Pichu's attack smoothly and hits Pichu in the head with several Peck attacks.)
Trent: (Darn it! everytime we attack, Hoothoot seems to dodge at just the right time...what can I do?...that's it! Ok Pichu use Tail Whip!
(Pichu then wags its tail back and forth and Hoothoot shows to be confused then angered and begins to attack Pichu with Peck)
Trent: (Wait for it...Wait for it...) Now! Pichu, use Thundershock!
(Hoothoot moves close enough to almost hit Pichu with Peak but then Pichu turns around and unleashes Thundershock on Hoothoot, Hoothoot takes some heavy damage and falls right out of the sky, Pichu takes some small recoil damage as well but is still ok.)
Trent: Nows my chance! Pokeball Go!
(Trent throws the Pokeball at Hoothoot and it opens to capture it, the ball then closes and wiggles once, twice, and a third time, and clicks Hoothoot has successfully been captured!
Trent picks up the Pokeball, while a weakened but happy Pichu picks up the small half of the sandwich)
Trent: I did it! I caught my very first Pokemon!
Pichu: Piiiiiichu Piiii!
Trent: Good job Pichu! Return
(Trent walks down the Cherryville forest road leading to the exit, while walking he shows to be holding Hoothoot's Pokeball and Pichu's all while wearing a proud face of accomplishment)
Trent: Look out Kaz! I will get stronger and beat you, just you wait.
Narrator: And so Trent may have lost to his new rival Kaz, but Trent has learned a lot. and has gotten stronger by catching Hoothoot, what new rivals and pokemon will Trent meet? Find out next time
