The nugget bridge and the mysterious Pichu /
We were finally in cerulean not to far away from celedon, and let me tell you it was a beautiful city their was a big river, and a few ponds, but what was really interesting was when we went inside the Pokemon center.
"Nurse Joy can you heal all of our Pokemon?" I asked for everyone.
"Sure,Come on Starstrukk take these Pokemon to healing room number 8." Nurse Joy said happily
"I didnt think you would give nicknames to your Pokemon here." I said, confused
"Its not mine some boy left it here and said he would be back by nightfall he also left a few others." Nurse Joy said, poiting at a few rare Pokemon.
We then all sat down in the lobby wathcing tv as our Pokemon who didnt need healing hungout in the play area.
"Psst,psst hey Austin I need to talk with you." Nage said
I aggreed, and we went into the corner of the Pokemon center were no one could hear us.
"I need to leave." Nage said frowning
"Why?" I asked, slighltly sadden
"Well my mom is really sick so I need to go to Hoenn to look after her and I need to got to vermillion to get on the boat leaving for their." He said frowning yet again
"Well its okay you can come with us until we get their." I said happily
"Well I cant I have to leave by tomorrow morning on a bus leaving to vermillion." He said, slowly
"Well if you have to." I said, scratching my head.
"Thanks for understanding." He said
"Its okay you can still explore nugget bridge with me." I said happily
"No I cant it is already 4 a clock I need to pack and get ready." he said sadly
"Well okay." I said, with a frown as he walked to his room slowly
I then looked over to the play area all of our Pokemon were now healed and were playing with the trainers rare Pokemon he had chimchar, a totodile, and a Jumpluff, which were usally rare here in Kanto.
Pokemon POV
"Hello you are very cute." The Jumpluff said, to Roary who was chewing a bone
"Whatever." Roary said, countinuing to naw on the bone.
"Well okay I guess I could try your Squirtel friend." She said, jumping over to Shellshocker who was playing on a slide.
"Hello your very handsome." she said cutely
"I'm not interested." Shellshocker said
"You what!,that's it come to mama." she said, kissing Shellshocker alot until he couldn't breathe.
"Now what did you say?" she asked innocently
"Oh your very cute, but I already have a girl friend." Shellshocker said, trying to catch his breathe
"That what I thought you said." She said, hopping over to Gaia
"Hello that twig on your head suits you." The Jumpluff said
"Well thanks." Gaia said, countinuing to suck up sunlight from the window
"Its so nice that I think I have to kiss you." The Jumpluff said, going for the kill
"What di-" Gaia was to slow to react and got the same kissing frenzy as Shellshocker
"Bye boys." she said, walking over to a comfy spot to take a nap.
Austin POV
I told my friends everything about Nage leaving everyone was a little disappointed, but what could we do.
"Hey why don't me and Austin go fight on nugget bridge and you guys can go train for your gym badge." Merced said
"Thats not a bad idea." Sky said
"Great lets go." Merced said, as he dragged me along, sometimes I think he doesn't know his own strength
We battled all the trainers on nugget bridge until we got to the end their was this strange man he looked creepy.
"Very good here have this gold nugget." he said, handing me the gem
"What is this for?" I asked confused, Roary was slightly out of breath from the battles, but knew something was up.
"Well you beat them all now lets see how good you are for team rocket." He said, taking off his disguise revealing a team rocket uniform.
"Your team rocket." I yelled, trying to punch him.
"Very good observation." He said with an evil smile
"Austin look." Merced said as he pointed to a Pichu who was in a pod like thing that was absorbing his energy
"I will make a deal if you can beat me in a two on two battle I will release the Pichu if I win I get to keep Growlitheif you lose." He said, pointing to Roary who was yapping up a storm
"Deal." I quickly said
"Are you sure you could lose Roary." Merced said concerned
"Well I will get him back dont worry." I whispered
"Ekans go." The rocket guy yelled
"Shellshocker your up." I yelled, releasing Shellshocker into battle
"Ekans use poison sting." The Rocket yelled Ekans compiled, I wasn't worried because it didn't do much "Shellshocker use water gun." I shouted Shellshocker complied the Ekans was trying to avoid it, but failed to. "Ekans use bite." The rocket yelled "Try to dodge." I shouted,but it was no use Shellshocker got hit with a powerful bite."Shellshocker use bite to." I shouted the rocket knew Ekans was to slow to escape so he let Shellshocker hit...
"Tackle." The rocket yelled Ekans did so . "Now hit it with your tail so it hits the tree." The rocket yelled he was using the area around him to his advantage."Withdraw." I said at the right time, because Shellshocker was almost hit by the tree it bounced off the tree and hit Ekans knocking it out.
'Its not over kid I have one more." The rocket yelled, releasing a geodude. I knew Shellshocker would probably be my best bet, but Shellshocker was to worn out so instead I let Roary have his turn. "Not very smart, but oh well you get the first attack." The rocket yelled "Roary use flame wheel." Roary compiled and hit Geodude square in the face. "Geodude rock tomb." The Rocket hurt Roary with immense power almost knocking him out.
"Roary use flame wheel." I yelled Roary got up and got ready to roll and hit geodude on his arm."Geodude use roll out." The rocket yelled I thought about it and decided flame wheel. the pokemon rolled into eachother causing a slight explosion.
"Who won?"Merced asked, as the smoke cleared.
I just stood their smiling because what I saw after the smoke cleared was an unconscious Geodude.
"Damn it,fine kid take the pichu." The rocket yelled, throwing the pod at us as he ran for dear life
A few minutes later I opened up the pod and out fell the pichu, but this one was different it had one tiny difference it was orange not yellow.
"Wow this is so cool!"Merced shouted
"How is this cool?"I asked a bit confused
"I have a friend who just caught a shiny Pokemon."Merced shouted
I just stood their with a blank face "You are going to catch it right?"Merced asked
"Whats a shiny Pokemon?"I asked as Merced fell onto the ground
"Their Pokemon with a different color and sparkle in the moonlight they are extremely rare."Merced said
"He looks cute." I said, as the Pichu hugged my leg
"Yeah he is friendly." Merced said
"Well lets go Merced."I said happily as I picked up the Pichu and put him into my backpack.
"Don't you have poke balls?" Merced asked a little confused
"Yeah, but first I need to bring him to nurse Joy to make sure everything checks out."I said as me and Merced ran to the Pokemon center.
Back at the Pokemon center everything was all right and Sky, and Elena had finished their training sice it was late we decided it would be best to go to the gym early tomorrow morning.
"Pichu,pi."The little Pichu said
"Do you want to come with me to save my mom?"I asked, the little Pichu nodded, so I took out a poke ball and tapped it on his head which was a sure catch.
I will admit that at first I was a little sceptical about it because Pichu is a baby Pokemon, but then I remembered that once it evolved it was one of the best electric types.
"Austie lets get down to business." Elena said with an evil smile
"What is it?" I asked
"I want to use Pichu for the gym badge." Elena shouted
"No way you cant have him." I said, clutching on to him
"I only have ice and normal types please."Elena begged
"Fine, but only to battle the gym leader."I sighed.
"Hey what are you going to nickname him?"Merced asked
I thought about it for a while I didn't want to name something that was common like Sparky "I'm going to name him Thunder." I said.
"That's a great name."Merced said, petting the little Pichu.
I glanced at my watch"Only six." I grumbled
"So what dose that have to do with anything?" Sky asked
"I need to go see an old friend." I said as I let my Pokemon go to the play area once again
"Well can we come?"Merced asked
"No you cant I need to do this alone."I sighed, as I left the Pokemon center.
"What a jerk."Elena mumbled.
Pokemon POV
"Give it back Shellshocker." Roary shouted as Shellshocker held on harder to the stuffed Skitty
"No way dude."Shellshocker said as Roary pulled harder.
Eventually it flew out of their hands or paws and landed next to some cushions.
"Look what you caused." Shellshocker mumbled
"Its no big deal lets just go get it." Roary said, running to the cushions.
But when they got their they saw little Thunder holding on to the Skitty doll sleeping peacefully.
"Lets lt him keep it." Shellshocker said as Roary nodded.
Austin POV
Finally I was in front of the house I was looking for and slowly opened the door, little did I know I was about to see something crazy.
Authors Note: Overall in general im happy with this chapter I origanally wasnt going to make Pichu shiny but instead I was going to make a certain hoenn grass type shiny but then I rembered the event for Pichu on the ds and it changed my mind and dont worry Nage will be back in ten chapters or so anyways next chapter will be called:Double gym battles and help from a new friend.
