Chapter Two: Pokemon Emergency
In the town of Viridian City; all was quite. That is until a woman spoke through the P.A. system "Attention Citizens of Viridian City." The woman said with Auburn eyes and blue hair and who apparently was a police officer since she was wearing a dark blue uniform and cap "We have reports that Pokemon thieves are possibly in the area. So please, be on the lookout for suspicious looking people. I repeat, be on the lookout for suspicious..." She said when she was distracted by someone running
"Well, speak of the devil." She said as the person continued running which turned out to be Ash still carrying an injured Pikachu. But just as he passed the Police Station where the officer was currently at, she grabbed him by the collar "Hold it right there." She said as Ash struggled to get away "Just what do you think you are doing with that Pokemon young man?" She asked "It's my Pokemon and I'm taking it to the Pokemon Center." Ash said "Oh, I'm so sorry, I thought you were stealing it. Just show me your I.D. then you can go." The officer said "I.D.?" Ash questioned "I need to know if you're not a thief, since we have reports of Pokemon thieves in our area." She said
"I have to use extreme caution and not let just anybody walk in." The officer said as she showed him a Wanted Poster that was next to the station "Oh great, I don't have an I.D." He said "I just came here from Pallet Town and we..." Ash started to say when the officer interrupted him "You are the fourth person from Pallet Town I've seen today." The officer said "The fourth?" Ash questioned when it suddenly hit him "Oh just great, if I'm the fourth then that must mean Gary Oak is or has been here already." Ash said not happy one bit
"It's extremely unusual for a trainer to carry his pokemon in his arms instead of a pokeball. How am I to know you didn't steal it?" The officer questioned suspiciously "Please let me through and take Pikachu to the Pokemon Center, I would never steal a pokemon, even if my own mother told me to, so please and let me through Miss." Ash pleaded as the officer noticed his pokedex in his pocket "Hey what's that you got there in your pocket?" She asked "What?" Ash asked looking down at his pocket and saw the same thing she was looking at "Oh, you mean my Pokedex?" He asked holding his pokedex up which the officer snatched from his hand "Ah, yes; here we go." She said as Ash looked at her totally confused
"Ok, if you are the real deal then it should..." She said pushing some buttons then paused for a minute "I am Dexter, a Pokedex programmed by Professor Oak for Pokemon trainer Ashton, Ash, Ketchum of the town of Pallet. My function is to provide Ash with information and advice regarding Pokemon and their training. If lost or stolen, I cannot be replaced." The pokedex called Dexter said "Then it should do exactly just that." The officer said with a small chuckle "Oh, my pokedex, I didn't realize it was also my I.D." Ash said "Say, did your Pokedex say your last name was Ketchum?" The officer asked "Yeah." Ash said
"You wouldn't happen to be related to Artavius Ketchum, would you?" She asked "Uh, yeah, he's my Dad." Ash said "I thought so. you look exactly like him, it seems we have a celebrity on our hands." The officer said "Uh, no, not really. It is ok for me to take Pikachu to the Pokemon Center now?" Ash asked changing the subject not really in mood to talk about his Dad at that moment "I can get you there in no time flat." The officer said with a wink She brought him into the Station's garage where a motorcycle with a sidecar sat "Hop into the sidecar Ash." The officer said as he got in with Pikachu in his arms as the officer got on the bike.
She then opened the garage and started the motorcycle "Sit back, hold on tight, and try not to scream." She said taking off making Ash shouted "Whoa!" The engine revved leaving behind a huge cloud of car exhaust which blew right into a girl's face, the same girl Ash met on the river. She apparently found her charred bike because she was holding it at that precise moment as she coughed "Hey, what's the big idea!?" She shouted once the smoke was cleared, she then grunted in anger "Come back here!" She yelled again taking off after them.
Back at the station, the wanted poster was suddenly then taken by a floating hook, which turned out to be nothing more than someone dangling it from their hot air balloon and examined it "A wanted poster how delightful." A woman said who had blue eyes and Magenta hair, this woman's name was Jessie "Delightful? This picture makes me look hideous." A man said looking at the poster who had green eyes and ice violet hair, this man's name was James "Then you should be happy that the Photographer captured the real you." Jessie said
"Exactly." James said placing the poster down "But there's no need to be hasty. We'll show these peasants." Jessie said "The citizens of Viridian City will be sorry they ever saw my face." James said "We're all sorry to see your face, can you stay focus. We're here to capture rare and valuable Pokemon." A pokemon surprisingly said, it was a small feline pokemon that had cream colored fur, that was brown at the tips of its hind paws and tail. Its Ovid head featured two whiskers on each side of its face. It had wide eyes with slit pupils, two pointed teeth on the upper jaw, and a gold oval coin embedded in its forehead.
Its ears were black with brown interiors and was flanked with two additional whiskers. This pokemon's name was Meowth "Yes, yes. We know." Jessie said "Of course, how could I have forgotten that." James said "Just remember you two, I am the top cat." Meowth said "Whatever you say." James said as all three continued to travel above Viridian City in their Meowth balloon
Ash was still seated in the sidecar of the of the officer's motorcycle, She looked over at Ash "So." She said getting his attention "What's your father been doing these days? It's been years since I saw him in a battle." The officer said "Well, I'm not exactly sure but last I heard he was on another Pokemon journey." Ash told her "Huh? Why is he on another journey?" The officer asked "That's what I would like to know." He said the officer noticed Ash's behavior and became suspicious but was distracted by a building
"There, right there is the Pokemon Center." The officer said as they came closer to a building with a big red dome in top "That's the Pokemon Center? It's gigantic!" Ash exclaimed shocked just as they got near the entrance "This is gonna be a little tough, so hang on tight." She said and made a leap over the entrance steps, the bike skidded across the entryway, the automatic doors opened as the motorcycle continued to skid then stopped in front of the front desk. The nurse that was behind it at the time was not at all happy that the officer rode her motorbike into the Pokemon Center.
She had blue eyes and pink hair that was tied up into round rings. She wore a pink colored Mexican dress with a white nurse apron, white low-heel Mary Jane shoes, and a white nurse cap with a little red hospital cross on the front. "We have a driveway, you know." The nurse said "There was no time. It's a Pokemon Emergency." The officer said getting off her bike, Ash then stood up with Pikachu in his arms "Please help it." He pleaded "A pikachu, I see. We'll do whatever we can." The nurse said grabbing a P.A. system mic from the desk as Ash stepped out of the sidecar.
"I need a stretcher for a small electric rodent, stat!" The nurse said into the P.A. system mic and not a moment sooner two pink, Ovoid pokemon came out bringing the stretcher, they both had three hair like growths on the side of their heads that was tipped with a darker shade of pink. On the center of their bellies was a dark pink pouch that contained a single white egg. They had stubby arms, and small pink feet with short tails, they also had the same nurse's hat with the same red hospital cross on the front "Chansey." They both said
The nurse took Pikachu from Ash's arms and placed it on the stretcher "Now don't you worry about a thing. Pikachu will be just fine." She said to Ash "Rush this pokemon to the critical treatment room Chansey." The nurse whispered to the Chansey "Chansey." It said nodding and rolled Pikachu away, the nurse then pulled on rubber gloves as a Chansey waited next to her with a tray in its hands that held equipment "We'll begin the treatment right away." The nurse said "Um..." Ash said stepping forward a little
"Now, who might you be?" The nurse asked "His name is Ash, and he's Pikachu's trainer." The officer said "Please, is there anything that I can do?" Ash asked the nurse "You can start by being more responsible." The nurse said sternly "Excuse me Miss?" Ash questioned "If you want to be a Pokemon trainer, young man, you don't have your pokemon battle until it's in this condition." The nurse scolded "But we weren't even battling, you don't even know what happened." Ash said "What's done is done, now we have to treat your Pikachu." The nurse said still with a stern voice
"So, what can I do?" Ash questioned "You just leave everything to me." The nurse said more calmly this time "I leave the Pokemon in your hands." The officer said saluting to the nurse "Thankfully you got it here just in time." The nurse said "Just doing my job. Well, I have to go back to work and get my bike away from the desk and out of the Center." The officer said "Next time, use the driveway." The nurse said as the officer chuckled in embarrassment and left
"Ash please stay out here and wait." The nurse said as muffled engine sounds were heard "Can't I...?" Ash questioned as the nurse walked into the treatment room while the doors closed behind her it was then a little light turned on outside supposedly signaling that treatment was taking place at that moment "Pikachu." Ash said in his thoughts sounding very worried
Not far from the Pokemon Center, Anaya was walking in the lit-up streets with Chuot Dien up on her shoulders "What'd ya say Chuot Dien, you wanna stay at the Pokemon Center tonight?" She asked "Piiichu!" Chuot Dien squealed happily "Sounds like it's a deal. So now the question is: Which way is it to the Pokemon Center?" She questioned as she took a book out and examined it just as the officer was riding down the streets and saw Anaya standing with Chuot Dien and stopped near them "Excuse me young lady." The officer said
Anaya looked up and saw the officer "Oh, it's Officer Jenny." Anaya said "Huh? Do I know you?" Officer Jenny asked as Anaya walked up to her with the book put away "No, but I've been traveling a lot to know an Officer Jenny when I see one." Anaya said "Ahh, I see." She said as she placed her kickstand up and got off her bike "Are you from Pallet Town?" She asked "Uh, no; I'm from Minato City." Anaya said "Minato City? You mean you come from Northern Kanto?" Officer Jenny questioned
Anaya just giggled "Yep, been there my whole life." Anaya said when her smile faded "I think." Anaya mumbled quietly "Hmm? What was that you just said?" Officer Jenny asked not quite hearing what she said "Oh, um, nothing. Uh, so, do you need something Officer Jenny?" Anaya asked changing the subject quickly "Yes, I was wondering if that pokemon was your's." Officer Jenny said "Uh, yeah. Why do you ask?" Anaya questioned
"Well, for one thing, it's not very common to see a Pokemon hanging outside its Pokeball. But it's another thing to see a Pichu, a Pokemon that's not native around Kanto, especially one that's unique as yours." Officer Jenny said "Yep, my Pichu is one of a kind." Anaya said giving Chuot Dien attention "Even so, I would like to see some identification from you, please." Officer Jenny said "Huh?" Anaya said confused "There are recent reports that Pokemon thieves are in our area." Officer Jenny said
"Thieves?! That's terrible." Anaya said "Pichu." Chuot Dien said as well Officer Jenny nodded "I have to be careful and that means nobody can just walk in here without some sort of proof or I.D." She said "Oh, yes of course." Anaya said reaching into her pocket, pulling out her Pokedex and handing it to Officer Jenny "Here you go." She said "Thank you." Officer Jenny said taking Anaya's pokedex and opened it
"Now, let's see." Officer Jenny said as she pressed the buttons on Anaya's pokedex when suddenly "I am Dexter, a Pokedex programmed by Professor Chandal Lilithan for Pokemon Trainer Anaya of Minato City. My function is to provide Anaya with information regarding Pokemon and their training. If lost or stolen, I cannot be replaced." Anaya's pokedex said "Well, that's good enough for me. Sorry for the trouble." Officer Jenny said closing the pokedex and handing it back to Anaya
"Not a problem." Anaya said taking her pokedex back and placing it in her pocket "Well, I must be off, I still have important duties to attend to." Officer Jenny said and was about to leave when Anaya stopped "Oh, wait." She said grabbing her attention "Could you show me the way to the Pokemon Center?" Anaya asked "Sure; just keep going down this street and you'll see a building with a big red dome on top, you can't miss it." Officer Jenny said pointing in the direction the Pokemon Center was at
"But I will say that it will be quite some time before Nurse Joy can take care of your Pokemon." Officer Jenny now lowering her arm down "Huh? Why's that?" Anaya asked "Well, I just had to transport a critically injured Pokemon and Nurse Joy is treating it as we speak." Officer Jenny said "Oh, that's ok, we can wait. Right Chuot Dien?" Anaya said asked Chuot Dien "Pichu." Chuot Dien said making Officer Jenny giggle "You two sure are pretty close." She said
"Yep, we've been together for a while now, haven't we Awa-chan?" Anaya said petting Chuot Dien's cheek "Pichu, pichu." Chuot Dien said happily "Thanks for the directions Officer Jenny." Anaya said "My pleasure. Please, if you see anything suspicious, contact me immediately." Officer Jenny said saluting again "I'll definitely keep my eyes open. Thanks again!" Anaya shouted to Officer Jenny as she made her way towards the Pokemon Center "Have a nice evening." Officer Jenny said once Anaya vanished from view, Officer Jenny got back on her bike and rode off
A Pidgey cuckoo clock is what startled Ash up from his little nap, he sighed in relief and looked up at the sign which was still on. He then looked over at the clock that told him it was 8 o'clock at night on the dot. Pikachu had been in its procedure for nearly an hour now and that worried him. He then sighed again before looking down to his left at the row of video phones "I might as well call home while I'm waiting." He said getting up and walking over to one of the phones then dialed his home number
"Ring, ring, ring; ring, ring, ring. Phone call, Phone call." The video phone sounded throughout the Ketchum and Miyoshi home, Ms. Miyoshi had her robe on, a towel on her head, and her face was covered in a white facial mask. Luckily she was smart enough not to turn on the camcorder on the video phone "Hello, this is the Ketchum and Miyoshi Residence, this is Delia Miyoshi speaking." She said
"Hey Mom, it's me." Ash said threw the speaker "Ah!" Ms. Miyoshi squealed in delight and took of the towel and used it to wipe the mask off her face, she then grabbed the phone's receiver "Oh, hi there honey, how's everything going?" She asked as she turned on the camcorder "Where are you calling from, Ash?" She asked now that Ash could see her
"The Pokemon Center in Viridian City." Ash said with sorrow in his voice "Oh my goodness, you're already in Viridian City? It took me and your father about four days to get to Viridian City when we started our Pokemon Training. Oh he'll be so proud of you, he's always said you're his greatest treasure." Ms. Miyoshi said "Yeah a worthless one at that." Ash said demoralizing himself "Oh Ash, don't be so disheartened, you're doing great. You're growing up right before my eyes, spreading your wings and soaring like a Spearow." Ms. Miyoshi said
"I feel more like a fallen Pidgey." Ash said with guilt still in his voice "I will not have you talk about yourself like that. Just believe in yourself and you can do anything, understand?" Ms. Miyoshi questioned "Yes." Ash said in a low voice even though you could clearly hear it breaking "And you are changing your underwear everyday, aren't you?" Ms. Miyoshi asked "Yes." Ash said a little more loudly this time his voice still breaking "Alright, I'll let you go so you can get some sleep." Ms. Miyoshi said more calmly this time
"Ok, Mom." Ash said "Goodnight son, I love you." Ms. Miyoshi said "Yeah, right back at ya Mom." He said and hung up he sat there for a minute then sighed, but just as he was getting up he noticed four pictures of Pokemon, and one of them looked familiar to him "Hey, that looks like..." He said and ran up to the picture for a better look "It is, that's the flying Pokemon I saw." He said when the Pokemon Center's video phone started ringing, Ash went around the desk to answer it "Uh, this is Ash Ketchum speaking. Who is calling?" He asked
"Here, I'm over here Ash, it's Professor Oak. Don't you recognize me?" Professor Oak's voice said as the Pokemon picture below the one Ash was looking at glided down revealing a video behind it which showed the back of the Professor's head "Uh, no Professor, I didn't recognize the back of your head." Ash said "Huh?" Professor Oak questioned turning around "Oops, wrong camera." He said as the camera changed and was now showing the front of him
"There, that's better. I just spoke with your Mother and she told me you made it to Viridian City. Am I correct?" Professor Oak asked "I wouldn't be talking to you if I wasn't, would I?" Ash said "You wouldn't be talking to me if you...Oh, I see." Professor Oak said once he understood what Ash had meant "The other trainers made it there with no problem at all, and I was surprised you got there so soon." Professor Oak said "I'll admit, when you left, I had doubts that you could handle your Pikachu." Professor Oak said making Ash feel bad about himself
"Then, my grandson Gary said that you probably wouldn't have a single new Pokemon by the time you got to Viridian City, so I bet him a million dollars he'd be wrong." Professor Oak said surprising Ash "Well, now I know why he called me." Ash thought to himself "I hope that bet was figuratively than literally." Ash said out loud this time with guilt on his face "Oh, why do I even bother?" Professor Oak questioned to himself in shame
"But I did see a flying Pokemon like that one in the picture, hanging up there. It flew right over me and Pikachu's head and over a rainbow." Ash said pointing to the picture "Don't talk such nonsense. Trainers all over the world have search their whole lives and never seen it." Professor Oak said who apparently could see what Ash was talking about "It sure looked like it a whole lot." Ash said "You must've been mistaken for another Pokemon." Professor Oak said when his doorbell rang
"Ah, there's my pizza. Coming!" Professor Oak shouted getting up but then leaned back "It was very nice to talk to you Ash, and I wish you the best of luck." Professor Oak said and left "Mmm, anchovies, spinach, and pineapple pizza." Professor Oak said just before the call was hung up "Professor Oak sure does like strange things." Ash said just as Anaya walked in "Huh?" He said turning around when Anaya noticed him standing behind the desk
"Hey, you're that kid with the stubborn Pikachu." Anaya said "Oh great, it's you." Ash said bitterly "Hold on just a minute, did Officer Jenny bring you here?" She asked "Huh? Oh, you mean that female Officer, yeah how did you know that?" Ash asked Anaya as she groaned "Then Pikachu was the critically injured pokemon she told me about." She said taking a step towards Ash "Alright, how did Pikachu get hurt in the first place?" Anaya asked really close to Ash's face
"Well you see, a whole flock of Spearow started attacking us." Ash said "The whole flock? Alright, what did you do?" She asked "Huh?" Ash questioned confused "Pokemon only will attack humans or Pokemon if they do something to provoke them. Even though Spearow, are just like any other Pokemon, they are still very territorial, I know the Pokedex says that they attack humans and Pokemon for no reason but in reality they are just scaring humans and pokemon from their territory.
"Plus, when Spearow are just trying to scare pokemon and humans away from their territory they will only send one of its flock to do the job. But since you had a whole flock chasing you and your Pikachu you must've done something to agitate them" Anaya said jabbing her index finger violently at Ash's chest "Uh, well, I did throw a rock at one of them." Ash said "What? You threw a rock at them?" Anaya exclaimed "I thought it was a Pidgey." Ash said trying to defend himself "You're lucky it wasn't a Pidgey or otherwise a Pidgeotto, a Pidgeot would've wiped both of your heads clean off." Anaya said
"Hey, Pikachu was the one who attacked it with a thundershock." Ash said "True, but it all comes back onto you, the person who threw a rock at it; I know wild Pokemon tend to be jealous of human trained Pokemon but it would've left you two alone if you hadn't thrown that rock at it." Anaya said as Ash stared at her as she rubbed her temples "You're more stupider than I thought." Anaya said "Pichu." Chuot Dien said shaking its head Ash just scowled at the two of them "Now I've got you." A girl's voice rang threw the halls of the Pokemon Center
Ash and Anaya turned towards where it was coming from. The red headed girl from the river had finally caught up to Ash with her barbecued bike still in her arms, she panted a couple of times "I knew I'd find you here." She said as Anaya and Chuot Dien looked at her completely confused on who she was "Hey, what happened to your bike?" Ash asked totally shocked as he pointed towards it "What happened to my bike? You happened to my bike you little loser. This is what's left after you stole it to save your pokemon." The girl said
"What? You stole somebody's bike!?" Anaya exclaimed "If I hadn't Pikachu would've made it in time." Ash said but Anaya just groaned and smacked her forehead "Piiichu." Chuot Dien said copying her "I can see why your Pokemon is in the.., Whoa!" The girl said falling backwards dropping her bike "Ouch." Anaya said as she and ash went to check on her "Are you alright? Let me help you up." Ash said reaching down to her but the girl just smacked it away
"I don't need your pity, you're totally gonna pay for what you did to my bike." The girl shouted very angry "Jeez, you need to calm down, I know he stole it from you but you need to turn the Drama dial down about four notches." Anaya said looking slightly irritated "Excuse me, this doesn't concern you. So, keep yourself out of other people's business." The girl said screaming at Anaya "All I'm telling you to do is calm down." Anaya argued back
"Listen, I'll make up for it, I promise. But I can't do anything about your bike until..." Ash started but couldn't go on the girl growled in frustration "I don't want an excuse, I just want a new bike now!" The girl shouted "You do know that bikes are expensive, right?" Anaya questioned "Pichu." Chuot Dien said the girl groaned in frustration and turned to face Anaya "Didn't I tell you to butt out? This is grown up business, ok?" The girl said
"Really? Because to me it looks like a little two year old throwing a temper tantrum because she isn't getting her way." Anaya said "What did you say to me?" The girl said more angry this time "You heard me." Anaya said as she and the girl glared at each other "It's my Pikachu. My Pikachu isn't doing too good." Ash said breaking the argument between the two girls "Huh?" They said in unison as they looked at Ash as he looked behind him at the treatment door that had the light still on at the top
"Is it very serious?" The girl asked "I think so." Ash said "How long has Pikachu been in there?" Anaya asked as well "For over an hour, and there's nothing I can do." Ash said gloomy "Oh." The girl said as she and Anaya looked saddened as well when the light went off and the doors opened revealing the nurse, that was called Nurse Joy by Officer Jenny, grabbing the attention to the three trainers Ash ran up to the stretcher with Pikachu still laying on top
"Pikachu, are you alright?" Ash asked when he noticed Pikachu was still unconscious "Your Pikachu is resting. It's a good thing you got it here so fast. The procedure went well and it will be just fine in no time." Nurse Joy said "And it's all thanks to the Pokemon Center." The girl said happily "Yes, thank you so much." Ash said "Now Pikachu needs a good rest in the Recovery Room, you should go in with it Ash." Nurse Joy said Ash nodded "Yeah. Again, thank you so much." Ash said when he then turned towards the girl
"Listen, I am really sorry about your bike, but it's gonna take me some time to straighten all of this out." Ash said "Forget it, I fell for that last time." The girl said her anger restored "What?" Ash said confused "Well, you should take care of Pikachu for now, but we will settle this later." The girl said "Uh." Ash said looking confused but then smiled and nodded "Sure; sounds like a good idea." Ash said "Excuse me, Nurse Joy." Anaya said as she was holding Pokeballs in her hands
"Yes, how may I help you?" Nurse Joy asked her "I was wondering if you could take a look at my Pokemon." Anaya said holding her Pokeballs up to Nurse Joy "Of course, I'd be happy to give your Pokemon a thorough exam." Nurse Joy said taking the Pokeballs from her "You can do that?" Ash asked "Of course you can, it's good for the Pokemon and the trainer to know if they're healthy or not." Anaya said "Uh, excuse me." Nurse Joy said getting Anaya's attention
"Hmm? Yes Nurse Joy?" Anaya asked "Well, about that Pokemon." Nurse Joy said looking at Chuot Dien "Pichu?" Chuot Dien said tilting its head in confusion "Oh, sorry, you'll have to forgive my Pichu Nurse Joy, it doesn't like being in its Pokeball." Anaya said as Ash walked past her and into the Recovery Room with Pikachu "There's no need to apologize for that." Nurse Joy said with a smile "I have been trained to handle all different types of Pokemon." Nurse Joy said
"I'm just surprised to see a Pichu that is distinctive as yours." Nurse Joy said as Anaya rubbed its head "Yep, my Pichu is pretty special." Anaya said "How is that Pichu different from other Pichu?" The girl asked as Anaya pulled her pokedex out "Here, take a look." Anaya said showing it to her "Pichu, the Tiny Mouse Pokemon, and the pre-evolved form of Pikachu. Pichu are known for their playful and mischievous demeanor and will be often found in groups. There are two different known types a Pichu, one that is normally common, and one that has three spikes on the left ear. Pichu are usually found in the Johto Region." The Pokedex said
"Oh, I see. They usually don't have spiky ears and they're not from this Region." The girl said "Right, I would like to know where you got this Pichu." Nurse Joy said "Actually as crazy as it sounds, this Pichu was my very first Pokemon." Anaya said rubbing Chuot Dien's head "What?" The girl exclaimed "Where exactly are you from?" Nurse Joy asked
"I'm from Minato City." Anaya said "Isn't that in Northern Kanto?" The girl asked "Yep, I got Chuot Dien from Professor Lilithan." Anaya said "Why not one of the other three starter Pokemon?" Nurse Joy asked "Well, I was given the choice to choose one of them, but when I saw Chuot Dien I knew that it was the one for me, right Awa-chan?" Anaya questioned "Pi- chu." Chuot Dien said nodding its head Nurse Joy and the girl just smiled "Well I'm happy to give it a full evaluation." Nurse Joy said picking up Chuot Dien
"Pichu, Pichu." Chuot Dien said waving goodbye to Anaya as he and the other Pokemon were taken to the treatment room "Hey." The girl said calmly to Anaya getting her to turn her head towards her "I wanna apologize for snapping at you." She said "That's alright, if somebody took my bike I'd be pretty ticked off too." Anaya said the girl just giggled "Hi, I'm Misty." The girl named Misty said introducing herself "My name is Anaya, and I'm traveling as a Pokemon Trainer." Anaya said
"So, the boy with the Pikachu. Nurse Joy said his name was Ash?" Misty said looking over at the Recovery Room Ash went to "Yeah; Ash Ketchum is what he told me the last I saw him." Anaya said "You met him before?" Misty asked "Just once, and he was clearly an unskilled trainer." Anaya said "Well, I will say that he's sure a strange trainer." Misty said "Yeah, he's something alright." Anaya said with her arms resting on the back of her head Misty sighed "I'm really worried about that Pikachu." She said "I think we can go see how it's doing." Anaya said
Misty cracked opened the door and peered inside, there on the bed was Pikachu lying down still asleep. Ash was at the sink, with his hat turned around, and a towel around his neck as he washed his face. Misty opened the door a little wider which got Ash's attention. Misty noticed this and gasped then fell "You ok?" Anaya asked "Can I help you two with something?" Ash asked "It's not really all that important, but we came to see how Pikachu was doing." Anaya said sounding a little bitter as she helped Misty get up
"Still sleeping. Nurse Joy said it needs lots of it now." Ash said Misty smiled "Well then, I thought I'd introduce myself, your name is Ash right? I'm Misty." Misty said introducing herself "Nice to meet you Misty. So where are you from?" Ash asked Misty was about to answer when an alarm went off through the P.A. system the three trainers ran out of the Recovery Room and went back out to the main entrance and stood in front of the Treatment Room doors as they opened revealing Nurse Joy that stood next to Anaya's pokemon which were all out of their pokeballs
"I'm happy to report that all of your Pokemon are healthy and fighting fit." Nurse Joy said as all of Anaya's Pokemon came running up to her, Anaya giggled as Chuot Dien hopped onto her shoulder "Hey there buddy." She said as her Seel and two other unknown Pokemon to Ash came up to her. The first one was a plant based Pokemon with a stem-like brown body. The steam was so long, thin and very flexible that the Pokemon was swerving very rapidly.
Its feet resembled roots and had one green leaf on each side of its body. It had a yellow head that was bell shaped with pink like lips at the end. The second Pokemon was a small quadruped like fox. It had a red-brown pelt; brown, pupiless eyes. Large, pointed ears with dark brown insides, and six orange tails that was curled at each and every tip. It also had curled orange locks of fur with bangs on top of its head. It had a cream underbelly and brown feet with lighter brown paw pads.
"Huh? Who are those Pokemon?" Ash questioned taking out his Pokedex and pointed to the plant Pokemon first "Bellsprout, the Flower Pokemon. Bellsprout's stem is so thin and flexible that it can dodge attacks with blinding speed. Its root like feet are capable of planting into the ground to replenish water. However, it is unable to move when its rooted." The Pokedex said as Anaya gave all of her Pokemon attention. Ash glided his Pokedex over to the second one and scanned it.
"Vulpix, the Firefox Pokemon. Vulpix has a flame inside it's body that never goes out. It is capable of manipulating fire to such a precision that it can create floating wisps of flame." The Pokedex said "So a Bellsprout and a Vulpix." Ash said "She also has a Seel and a Sandshrew." Misty said as Ash placed his Pokedex in his pocket "But..." Misty started when she and Ash noticed Sandshrew standing away from everybody, Ash chuckled "Looks like Sandshrew doesn't like you very much." He said with a smug look on his face
Anaya turned around and gave him an irritated look "That's not why it's staying away from everybody, it's scared of me." Anaya said "Huh?" Ash said confused "Scared of you?" Misty questioned "Sometimes, wild Pokemon who have been recently caught by Trainers can be a little shy at first." Nurse Joy said as Anaya got up "But if you welcome them with kindness and opened arms they'll start to loosen up really quick." Anaya said as she walked up to Sandshrew who looked scared and started to backed up from Anaya a little
"You sure do know a lot." Nurse Joy said making Anaya blush and giggle as she scratch the back of her head "I do read a lot" Anaya said "Figures." Ash said looking not surprised Anaya grunted in irritation "Who asked you?" She said then looked back at her pokemon in a more calmer way "Everyone, I want you to welcome Sandshrew to the group." She said, all of her Pokemon responded and walked up to Sandshrew
"Pichu." Chuot Dien said introducing itself first "Vulpix." Anaya's Vulpix said "Bell-sprout." Anaya's Bellsprout said next "Seel." Anaya's Seel said last when they all then greeted Sandshrew happily as it looked at them "That's right. You don't have to be afraid, we're a team now and we all have to work together. That means nobody gets left behind or forgotten." Anaya said as her Pokemon agreed with her Sandshrew looked at everybody again
"Sand?" It questioned "Shrew!" It now exclaimed happily jumping up and down with glee "That's right, we're all good friends now." She said smiling at Sandshrew "Sandshrew." It said with a smile "Now this is a treat for the eyes. People and Pokemon getting along in harmony, just like it should be." Nurse Joy said as Misty looked at them with a smile as Ash looked at them completely stunned when suddenly an alarm started to go off "Your attention, please." Officer Jenny said over the P.A. system
"Our Viridian City radars have detected an aircraft belonging to a gang of Pokemon thieves. If you have a Pokemon in your possession, please use extreme caution." She said "Oh no, Pikachu!" Ash shouted running back towards the Recovery Room "Wha-Ash!" Misty shouted following Ash with Nurse Joy right behind her. Anaya grabbed all of her Pokemon Pokeballs and pointed at them "Everybody, return!" She shouted as all of her Pokemon were safe in their pokeballs
"Chuot Dien, come here." She said holding out her arms for it "Pichu." Chuot Dien said hopping into Anaya's arms, she then ran towards the Recovery Room and found Nurse Joy, Ash, and Misty surrounding Pikachu's bed "How's Pikachu?" She asked "It's fine, still sleeping." Misty said "We've got to get Pikachu to a safer place." Nurse Joy said "Right." Ash said as Misty and Anaya nodded as Nurse Joy took Pikachu from the bed and placed it on top of a stretcher.
Just above the Pokemon Center, the Meowth balloon floated. Jessie, who heard Officer Jenny's warning announcement along with James and Meowth, chuckled "Guess we woke up this sleepy dump, didn't we?" She said "And how dare they treat us like criminals; they should welcome Team Rocket with welcome arms." James said "Don't worry, we'll teach them to respect us." Jessie said "And, when we snatch all of their Pokemon those scared little mice will know I'm the top cat." Meowth said "We know Meowth, we know." Jessie and James both said together
"Ekans." Jessie said throwing a Pokeball "Koffing." James said throwing a Pokeball as well "Attack." Jessie and James said as the two Pokeballs fell through a skylight in the Pokemon Center breaking it just as Ash and the other were passing by. The Pokeballs opened on contact when it hit the ground, Koffing was the first to come out followed by Ekans.
Koffing then started to release some sort of gas from its body blinding the group "What is...What's happening?" Ash said "Don't be afraid little boy." Jessie's voice rang out through the smoke "Allow us to introduce ourselves." James's voice rang out from the smoke as well
"To protect the world from devastation...
To unite peoples within our Nation...
To denounce the evils of truth and love...
To extend our reach to the stars above...
Jessie.
James.
Team Rocket blasts off at the speed of light...
Surrender now or prepare to fight...
Meowth, that's right." Jessie, James, and Meowth said
"What are you talking about?" Ash said totally confused "He just doesn't get it, does he?" Jessie said "How can I, you don't make any sense." Ash said "We're here for the Pokemon." James said "Well, you're not getting Pikachu." Ash said guarding it "Or my Pichu." Anaya said holding Chuot Dien closer to her "Pikachu?" Jessie questioned "Pichu?" James questioned after her "We're not interested in your electric rats." Jessie said "We only seek rare and valuable Pokemon." James said
"That means they're interested in Chuot Dien." Anaya said to herself "You're just wasting your time. This is a Medical Center for weak and injured Pokemon." Nurse Joy said "That may be, but I wouldn't be surprised one bit if we find a few Pokemon gems among the junk." Jessie said "You two are starting to bug me." Ash said "Aww, how adorable." Jessie said "The boy's bugged." James said "Then let's squash him." Meowth said "Koffing, attack!" James shouted "Ekans, go!" Jessie shouted as well
Koffing and Ekans charged at Ash but he rolled the stretcher out of the way just in time as before they could strike, Koffing and Ekans then ripped the power cables as Nurse Joy, Anaya, Misty, and Ash who was rolling the stretcher with Pikachu still on top into the Pokeball vault as Ekans and Koffing passed by when the light finally gave out "Oh no, the lights." Misty said "They must've cut the power when they raided the front desk. But, luckily we've got our own Pika-power generator." Nurse Joy said
A group of Pikachu, that was on a power generator treadmill, then began using their electricity to power the Pokemon Center and in no time the lights turned back on "Wow, look at all of the Pikachus." Anaya said "Cuties." Misty said "Code Black alert. Initiating emergency Pokeball transport sequence." A computer said "We have to protect those Pokeballs." Nurse Joy said as she sat down in front of the computer then began to type as a grappling hook began grabbing the Pokeballs and placed them into a transport machine.
"This is the Pokemon Center in Viridian City. We have issued a code Black Emergency. Transporting Pokeballs." Nurse Joy said as she continued to type on the computer "This is the Pewter City Pokemon Center. Transportation activated. Prepared to receive Pokeballs." The computer said as the Pokeballs were transported one by one when gas started to seep in thru the door crack and Koffing and Ekans burst through the door all the while breaking and crashed into the shelf knocking the Pokeballs off "Oh, no!" Ash shouted
"Quick, grab those Pokeballs!" Nurse Joy shouted "Uh, right." Ash said as he picked up a pokeball "Don't just stand there and hold them, this is war; throw them!" Misty exclaimed "Oh, uh, ok. Go Pokeball!" Ash shouted throwing the Pokeball as Jessie, James, and Meowth came in. The Pokeball opened when it hit the ground releasing a Pidgey "Ekans!" Ekans shouted scaring the Pidgey
"That runt can't beat us." Jessie said as Ash called the Pidgey back "No? Then let's try this." Ash said throwing another Pokeball which turned out to be empty "What?" Ash questioned "We're never gonna beat them that way." Misty said "Some of the Pokeballs are empty." Nurse Joy said "Now she tells me." Ash said picking up another Pokeball "This one feels like a real winner." He said throwing a Pokeball which turned out to be a Rattata James just chuckled
"Pipsqueak." He said as Meowth laughed while Ekans scared the Rattata as well, Ash groaned as he called the Rattata back "I guess I'm gonna have to do this by myself." Misty said holding up a Pokeball "While I'm distracting them, you get Pikachu outta here. These three clowns are no match for me." Misty said "You talk pretty big for such a little lady." Jessie said "I'll take the pretty part as a compliment, thanks." Misty said "She thinks she's pretty." James said
"Yes, I have to agree with her. She is pretty, pretty pathetic." Jessie said insulting Misty who just chuckled at the comment as the insult rolled off her shoulders like butter "Says the woman who's stealing Pokemon from a Pokemon Center. Go, Pokeball!" Misty shouted throwing a pokeball that kept a white fish-like pokemon with orange markings on its tail, back, and fins that were thin, dorsal, and long pectoral. It had circular blue eyes and pink lip; on its forehead was a large horn.
Jessie and James looked dumbfounded "Goldeen, return!" Misty shouted as she called her Pokemon back to its Pokeball "Is that all she's got?" Jessie questioned "Well, she certainly lost that fight badly." James said "I'm not stupid, I know water type Pokemon can't battle on land." Misty said "Really? Cause it looked like you didn't know that." Anaya said "Will you be quiet, I'm trying to distract them." Misty said through her teeth "You're not gonna win with a water type against Ekans and Koffing." Anaya said whispering back to Misty
"Well if you have a better idea then please let me hear it." Misty said a little louder this time "Use a Ground type." Anaya said "Ground type?" Misty and Ash both said Anaya nodded "Ekans and Koffing are both Poison types. Poison type moves are not very effective against Ground types and Ground type moves are super effective against Poison types." Anaya said "Say, the blonde is pretty smart." James said "Luckily for us, you don't have a Ground type." Jessie said as Anaya took out a Pokeball "Think again." She said "Huh?" Jessie and James both said confused
"Sandshrew, let's go!" She shouted throwing the Pokeball releasing Sandshrew "Sandshrew!" It shouted "Sandshrew, roll on the ground and knock out Ekans and Koffing!" Anaya commanded Sandshrew curled into a ball and rolled on the ground knocking Ekans into Koffing, Jessie and James both shouted as they watched their Pokemon fly past them "Whoa, if this was bowling then that would be considered a strike." Ash said "Don't just stand there, get Pikachu out of here." Misty said
"Oh, right." Ash said taking the stretcher and rolling it past Team Rocket "Anaya, go with him." Misty said "Are you sure? I'm the only one that has a Ground type." Anaya said "That's why you need to go with him. Don't worry about me I'll be fine." Misty said Anaya nodded "Let's go Sandshrew." Anaya said "Sandshrew." Sandshrew said nodding its head and took off with Anaya as they attempted to catch up with Ash, Jessie grunted "After them." She commanded as Ekans and Koffing ran after Ash and Anaya who ran threw the entrance, Ekans and Koffing both followed them.
Ash then crashed into Misty's burnt bike and collapsed onto the floor "Are you alright Ash?" Anaya asked "Yeah, I'm fine." Ash said Anaya turned to face Ekans and Koffing as Jessie and James made their way towards the two trainers "Sandshrew, get ready to battle." Anaya said "Sand." It said nodding its head then took a stand ready for battle "Ekans, use wrap." Jessie said as Ekans then wrapped itself around Sandshrew Anaya gasped "Oh no, Sandshrew!" She shouted
But Ekans was wrapped around it so tight that Sandshrew was now unconscious thanks to the lack of oxygen. Anaya grunted then took out its pokeball "Sandshrew, return." She said retrieving it before anymore damage was done "You were great Sandshrew, now take a good rest." She said Jessie and James both giggled "You got another idea?" Ash asked "Yeah, I do have one." Anaya said looking a little hesitant "Well, now would be a perfect time for you to use it." Ash said "I know, but it's too risky for me to use." Anaya said
"Anaya, forget about that and just do it!" Ash shouted "But..." Anaya started to say "Anaya, if you don't do what ever you have planned then they will take all of the Pokemon that are here at the Center! So think, keeping whatever it is a secret or saving the Pokemon" Ash shouted again Anaya looked at Ash hesitating for a bit. She then grunted "Chuot Dien, it's time for you to step in." Anaya said as Jessie, James, and Ash all looked at her shocked "Pichu?" Chuot Dien said looking a little worried
"Don't worry; the Pokemon here are more important than keeping your powers a secret. Now get out there and kick some butt." Anaya said "Pichu." Chuot Dien said nodding its head then hopped down from Anaya's arms and took a stand that showed it was ready for a fight Jessie and James both laughed "What's that little baby gonna do to us?" Jessie questioned "It be better off sucking on a pacifier." James said "I really do hate to agree with them but their right; Chuot Dien can't control its electricity." Ash said
But Anaya and Chuot Dien just smiled "Just watch and you'll see." Anaya said looking smudged as Team Rocket and Ash looked confused "Chuot Dien, use Thundershock!" Anaya shouted "Piiiii-chu!" Chuot Dien shouted electrocuting Jessie and James "Pichu!" Chuot Dien shouted when it stopped its attack buffing out its chest looking proud Ash just stood there shocked "I...I can't believe it. Chuot Dien, Chuot Dien can control its electricity!" Ash shouted as Pikachu finally woke up
"Pika, pika!" It shouted when suddenly a huge group of Pikachu came running in and piled on top of Pikachu then used thundershock to power it up but ended up shocking Jessie and James along with Koffing and Ekans Pikachu then gets up and walks on top of the Pikachu piled "Pika, pi!" It shouted "Pikachu!" Ash shouted happily "It's ok." Anaya said happy as well "Pichu." Chuot Dien said as Meowth walk in front of Jessie and James were standing there burnt
"Do I have to do everything?" Meowth questioned very angry "Those mice are gonna be cat food. Just you wait Pikachu and Pichu, you're mine." Meowth said walking up to them Ash grunted as he took a step backwards "Pika, pika, pika, pika." Pikachu said to Ash "Pika, pika?" He questioned not really knowing what Pikachu was saying "Pika." It said nodding "Pika, pika power?" Ash questioned again "Pika!" Pikachu said a little more loudly this time as it nodded its head once more "So you want...You want more power." Ash said getting on Misty's charred bike and started petaling
"What are you doing?" Meowth asked watching as continue to pedal the bike "Well, let's just say, Pikachu and I are gonna create a little excitement for you Meowth." Ash said as the light from the bike turned on "Huh?" Jessie questioned looking a little freaked out "What's gonna happen?" James asked "Uh oh." Meowth said as Pikachu got on the bike as well "Pika, pika, Pikachu!" Pikachu shouted as it shocked Team Rocket as soon as it gained enough energy to use its Thundershock attack
Anaya chuckled and then turned her attention to the electrifying Team Rocket "Chuot Dien, let's give them a hand. Use Thundershock!" Anaya shouted as its electricity combined with Pikachu's creating a friction cause a massive explosion that destroyed the Pokemon Center and sent Team Rocket flying just as Officer Jenny was just arriving "Looks like they started the fireworks without me." She said getting off her bike and ran towards the Pokemon Center to see if everybody was ok
Team Rocket was holding onto a rope that was dangling from their Meowth balloon "Unbelievable, a cat losing to two rats." Jessie said not at all happy one bit "Well, that Pikachu wasn't an ordinary Pikachu, it's certainly very rare." James said "It's a perfect prize." Jessie said "And that Pichu is too." Meowth said "You must be kidding." Jessie said as she and James looked up at Meowth with a disbelief expression "Why would we want a baby Pokemon like that no doubt?" James asked
"Because, that Pichu isn't an ordinary Pichu either." Meowth said "It is true that Pichu are from a different region." James said "That's not what I'm talking about." Meowth said "If you're talking about its looks then I have to agree with you. But just because it's from a different region and looks different doesn't make it special." Jessie said "You Guys Don't Get It Do You!" Meowth shouted confusing Jessie and James "Listen to this, Pichu is the pre-evolved form of Pikachu.
"Though they can shock a human adult, it's still inexperienced at storing and controlling its electricity. So no matter what happens, if they are surprised, frightened, or if they are commanded to use their electric powers, they will shock themselves. But that Pichu with the spiky ears, that Pichu can control and store its electricity and not shock itself." Meowth explained
Which turned the frowns on Jessie and James's faces upside down "A Pichu that can control its electricity is pretty valuable." James said "Then let's catch both of them." Jessie said "Perhaps we will." Meowth said when the balloon suddenly was ripped opened sending Team Rocket flying into the night
The next day Nurse Joy went to Officer Jenny's office to call the Pokemon Center in Pewter City "Your Viridian City Pokemon were all transported here safely." A woman said who looked exactly like Nurse Joy "Thanks for the update sis." Nurse Joy said "Ash, Misty, Pikachu, Anaya, and Anaya's Pichu she calls Chuot Dien are heading to Pewter City as we speak. That is if they can get through the Viridian Forest." Nurse Joy said looking a little worried "Don't worry, from what those five have shown us, they can take pretty good care of themselves." Officer Jenny said with a smile "Well I hope you're right." Nurse Joy said looking at Officer Jenny
Ash, Misty, and Anaya walked over a large log as Chuot Dien was perched on her shoulder. Pikachu was in front of Ash who made it over the log without trouble. Once they cleared the obstacle, they continued walking as Ash looked over at Chuot Dien "Hey, Anaya." Ash said getting her attention "Huh?" She questioned "How long has Chuot Dien been able to use its electricity without shocking itself?" Ash asked
"What? It can do that?" Misty exclaimed "I'm not sure, Chuot Dien was able to use its electricity even before I got it." Anaya said "It's still hard to believe that it can use its electricity without shocking itself." Ash said Anaya chuckled "Yep, like I've always said, Chuot Dien is one of a kind." Anaya said winking to it "Pichu, pichu." Chuot Dien said as Anaya's smile vanished "Still, now that Chuot Dien has shown its powers, I'm sure that Team Rocket group is gonna want to catch Chuot Dien for themselves." Anaya said stopping while looking up towards the sky
"Do you really think that they would follow us all the way to Pewter City?" Ash questioned Misty groaned "Even I wouldn't even do that." She said "I'm not sure, but I do know that no matter what happens, I'll fight them till the very end." Anaya said "Pichu!" Chuot Dien shouted agreeing with Anaya when Misty suddenly screamed and hid behind Ash "What, what's the matter?" He asked
"Over there, look." Misty said pointing towards something that was next to them. It was a serpentine-like Pokemon with a green body and yellow ring-shaped marking down the side its body. It also had large yellow eyes with large black pupils and on its head was a bright red antenna "Oh give me a break, it's just a harmless little Caterpie." Anaya said looking irritated at Misty "Awesome. A caterpie is one of the bug Pokemon, right?" Ash asked Anaya who nodded
"I don't care what it is, just do something." Misty said "Alright then, stand back." Ash said as he grabbed an empty pokeball from his belt, Misty and Anaya stepped back "This is gonna be a piece of cake." Ash said turning his hat around "Alright, go Pokeball!" He shouted throwing the Pokeball at the Caterpie. Will Ash be able to capture it? What is Team Rocket planning? Why is Chuot Dien able to control its electric attacks? Will Misty ever get a new bike? Well, the last two won't be answered for a while, but you can be sure that the other two will be answered on the next Pokemon
