Ethan Schneider is an 11 year old boy from the region of Johto, which holds Pokémon not found in Kanto. After he is given an errand to do, he finds himself on a journey of his own. His goal? Challenge the Gyms, beat his rival and maybe even become as good as Red. However, Team Rocket have returned. Can Ethan pull through?

18. Chapter 18: Radio fainted the Pokemon

Chapter 18: Radio fainted the Pokemon Trainer

Goldenrod City. The capital of the Johto Region. They have EVERYTHING here. Shops, a Game Corner, a Gym and a Radio Studio.

I know all this because I got lost right after coming out of the Pokémon Centre. There were dead ends, branching paths, the whole nine yards. Well, more yards I guess because one wrong turn took me at least 200 yards another direction to where I thought I was going.

I was about to give up when I saw a familiar face.

"Ethan! Long time no see!"

It was Professor Oak! He could help me.

"I see you are a little on the lost side. Don't worry. Everyone does on their first visit to Goldenrod. Come with me, I'd like to show you something."

He swerved in and out of buildings and then came to the Goldenrod Radio Tower. "We are about to start recording our show. How would you like to be our guest for today?"

At that point, out came DJ Mary and her Pokémon, Chikorita.

Chikorita

Grass Type

Leaf Pokémon

2'11" (0.9 m)

14.1 lbs (6.4 kg)

A sweet aroma gently wafts from the leaf of its head. It is docile and loves to soak up the sun's rays.

DJ Mary and Oak host the Radio Show Professor Oak's Pokémon Talk, which gives information on all different kinds of Pokémon and their moves.

Before I knew it, I found myself in the Radio Tower. At the desk was a quiz host. "Howdy partner!" he shouted. "Do you want to win a Radio Card?!" Of course I did! This meant I could listen to the Radio on my Pokegear. These were the questions.

Can the town map be displayed on the Pokegear? Yes

Can Nidorina be female only? Yes (This was a guess).

Does Kirt the Pokeball Craftsman use Aprikorn? No

Magikarp won't learn any TM move? Yes

Prof Oak's Pokémon Talk is a very popular program. Is Marie the co-host of the show? No.

With that, I had won a Radio Card!

"WAAAAHHH! I DON'T KNOW THE ANSWERS!"

I looked over and saw a pink haired teenage girl crying. I asked her what was wrong. "I don't know the answers!" she wailed. I told her the answers and she won a Radio Card to.

"THANK YOU!" she shouted, giving me a big hug. "As a thank you, challenge my Gym! I'm Whitney, and I will be your opponent at some point!"

I caught up with Oak and Mary after that and we walked passed the different studios. We came to a door with a glowing red sign that said "On Air" above it. "We will be in in 5 minutes" said Professor Oak.

I looked through the window of the studio to see a Jigglypuff singing into the microphone.

Jigglypuff

044

Normal Type

Balloon Pokémon

1'08" (0.5 m)

12.1 lbs (5.5 kg)

If it inflates to sing a lullaby, it can perform longer and cause sure drowsiness in its audience.

Evolved from the Baby Pokémon Igglypuff after levelling up at high happiness.

After about a minute, a man went into the studio with ear plugs to make sure he doesn't fall asleep.

"OK everyone that is it for the Lullaby Hour. Now in a few minutes we will start Professor Oak's Pokémon Talk with special guest Ethan Schneider, but first we will play the song Eye of the Persian by Surviving with 1 HP."

After that, the glowing sign dimmed down and the man and Jigglypuff left the room. "She's all yours after this song Professor" he said. "Wonderful!" Professor Oak exclaimed and we went in the studio.

After the song finished, the theme song started.

"Hello everyone. My name is Professor Samuel Oak". "My name is DJ Mary and this is…"

I nervously said my name into the microphone.

"We know he is very excited to be here. Today we are talking about the Pokémon Hoothoot. As we all know, Hoothoot is a Normal and Flying Type found primarily in the Johto region, so you Kanto folk will have to take a ride over here to nab one for yourself. Ethan has a Hoothoot of his own, would you like to tell us a little bit about it?"

I couldn't say anything. I just sat there, thinking that hundreds, perhaps thousands of people were listening to me. No, Red wouldn't do this.

I went on to talk about my own Hoothoot. The fact that it is Lv 19, Female and that is knows the moves Tackle, Foresight, Peck and Hypnosis.

"Sounds like a very strong Hoothoot!" said DJ Mary. "Anything else you want to add?"

I went on talk to talk about type advantages and disadvantages. That was nerve racking as if I got some information wrong, some impressionable children might use Hoothoot against the wrong Pokémon. But I did it. Hoothoot is weak to Electric and Rock Types, resists Grass and Bug Types and is immune to Ground and Ghost Types.

"That is correct!" shouted Professor Oak. "Well, that is all we have time for! Join us next week for Professor Oak's Pokémon Talk! Next week, we will be talking about the Pokémon Dewgong!"

After that, I almost fainted. "That was amazing!" said DJ Mary. "Next week you should come back on! Make sure you catch a Dewgong first though!"

I told them to make that a one hit wonder for me.

That did me in for the day. Tomorrow I would take on the Gym.
