Viridian city here we are
As me, and Roary finnaly made our way to Viridian. No Pokemon came out to my surprise, but I was also sort of happy that I didn't have to deal with them, but still it would have been nice to train Roary who was still as hyper as ever. As we finally made it to the beginning of Viridian city we were approached by a young boy who seemed to be around twelve, and was a rookie trainer.
"Your a trainer right?" the boy asked me
"Sort of why do you ask?" I asked, sort of puzzled
"Well I would like to challenge you, and your growlithe." he said, as he held up a poke ball
"Sure I need some training anyways." I said, confidently
"Bulbasaur go." he shouted, as he released the grass Pokemon
I knew what it was because it was one of the Kanto starters, and my least favorite out of the three, but then I got a little nervous as I thought about how it was my first battle, and if I lose how would I take it.
"Are you just gonna daydream or what." the boy yelled
"Roary go into battle." I commanded, and he walked from behind me so he would face Bulbasaur.
"Bulbasaur tackle." the boy shouted to his Bulbasaur, it began charging towards Roary
"Um, Roary use ember." I commanded Roary, and he did just that it hit the Bulbasaur powerfully, but Roary also got hit to, but to my relief it didn't do much
"Your pretty strong but not that strong, Bulbasaur use vine whip." the Bulbasaur hit Roary with its vines, but since it was a grass move it didn't go well
Soon a small crowd of trainers gathered around us cheering us on I didn't feel comfortable with the Crowd but what choice did I have, we kept attacking each other, and I would have been able to finish the battle with another ember but I was so nervous I forgot.
"Roary go use bite." I shouted, and Roary finshed the battle with a powerful bite knocking it out.
The crowd cleared when it was finished, and I was so physced that I had won my first the boy came up to me and handed me money I was confused, and so I asked.
"Whats this for?" I asked, extremely confused
"Well if a trainer wins a battle the loser gives them half their money." He said, as I quickly took the money
"Thanks catch you later." I yelled, as I ran towards Viridian city with Roary by my side
I explored the city a little bit, but it didn't have many sites, soon I found a nice comfy bench, and I picked up a trainer guide book as Roary ran on the Grass, and chased his tail. I tell you if I hadn't read the book I would have been lost it told me about type advantages, and what was a dysfunctional team, and what was a functional one I also learned about TMs ...
When I looked down I saw Roary chasing a poor rattata I decided not to catch it because they weren't very strong but instead I at least helped it by carrying it back to its nest, and then continued to read, but Roarys silly antics didn't stop their he started Roaring at any person who dared to go by...
Unfortunately when I tried to return him he would just bite me until I stopped I guess I could understand why he didn't want to go back in. If I was in their for days with out attention I probably wouldn't want to ever go back, so I let him be I then continued to read, and it said that if I wanted a place to stay for a few days free I could got to the Pokemon centre. I already knew they healed your Pokemon, but a free room was even better.
"Come on Roary it already six we should heal you up." I said as me and him made our way to the Pokemon centre
When we got inside I nearly fainted at everything they had. They had shower rooms, a place to eat, and in the lobby was a nice comfy couch with a huge TV, and to top it all off they even had an area were your Pokemon could was just like my house only better.
"Hello nurse Joy please heal my Growlithe, and can I please get a room to stay the night." I said as I handed her Growlithe
"Sure here's the key, and room number, and please sit down on the couch while I heal your Growlithe." Nurse Joy said happily
I took a seat on the couch, but then I looked at the back of the room their were telephones I thought about if I should call someone but then thought maybe later.
"Trainer with Growlithe." Nurse Joy called, and I went to go pick him up.
Roary looked alot better he didn't have any injury's anymore, and he was back to full health.
"Come on Roary, lets get something to eat." I said as me, and him walked towards the eating area.
I sat at large table with a bunch of trainers I ate some chicken, and drank lemonade while Roary had already eaten two helpings of Pokemon food. Then the boy from earlier came into the Pokemon centre all scared up I guess from training, and he did the weirdest thing well I guess not the weirdest but he sat next to me with his Bulbasaur out of its Poke ball.
I was quick to ask "Arent you that trainer I batteled earlier?"
He stoped eating his cheese burger, and stared at me "Yes I'm him." he said as he resumed eating his cheese burger.
"Arent you going to say anything else?" I asked quite puzzled
"No why do you ask?" he asked now quite puzzled as well.
"Well I thought it was kind of weird that your sitting next to me." I said
"Is that all, oh by the way my names Nage whats yours?"Nage asked I was quite shocked, but I didn't want to be rude.
"Its Austin, and as you already know this is my Growlithe Roary." I said as I pointed to Roary
After the brief conversation we started talking again about Pokemon, and a bunch of other things we had a great time talking, and whats better is that Roary, and Bulbasaur were playing together but after we finished dinner we went our separate ways he went to one room, and I went to mine...
I opened the door with the key to the room I was staying at. The room was plain it had a bed, and a desk also an alarm clock, and mine had a door leading to the training area so that was good. Roary was quick to take a place in the bed, and if I tried to take him off I would be met with a bite attack, so I let him be. He also did this cute thing were he would run around in a circle, and then lay down in the middle of it. I then glanced at the clock.
"Its ten, wow I better get to bed so I can make my way towards viridian forest." I said as I got into bed
It was hard for me to sleep I kept thinking about mom, and those scum team rocket I finally went to bed but with an uneasy next morning I woke up, and checked out of the Pokemon centre.I decided before heading into the forest I would go train a little so me, and Roary found a nice spot to trained for a few days always battling a few trainers here, and their we had one every we wanted to toughen up we stayed in a tent to make sure we could endure anything.I knew I had three months so I wasn't all that worried about it came time for the day that we would leave to viridian forest we went to the Pokemon centre to heal.
"How long will it take to heal him?" I asked
"About half an hour sorry were backed up." nurse joy said with a frown
I decided since I had to wait that long I would get some break fest as it was only eight I sat down at a small table in front of a man reading the news paper.I ate quickly just in case nurse joy finished healing early sadly she didn't so I sat on a comfy couch and turned on the tv to the news.
"Hey did you hear about viridian forest." said a boy dressed with a head band and weird red clothing I instaly became interested, and walked closer pretending that I was trying to use my pokedex.
"No what is their something wrong?" a girl asked she was dressed in a pink dress, and had a parasol
"Well I heard there is this Pokemon going rouge, and scaring wild Pokemon, and trainers." the boy said I was startled when I heard, but that wasn't going to stop me from going through Viridian forest.
"Trainer with Growlithe." nurse joy called, and I went to go pick him up
"Thanks nurse Joy, and by the way is their a rouge Pokemon in the forest?" I asked hoping to get info
"I'm afraid so that's the reason were so backed up it keeps hurting trainers Pokemon unless they do as it says." she said with a concerned voice
With that I left the Pokemon centre, and went towards the forest with Roary by my side just in case I knew one way or another I was going to stop it no matter what.
