Ken looked at the flock of spearow wondering what to do. There is a side path to the left of him that he could take that safely goes around the spearow. But should he? He still can't see past them, so he doesn't know whats being attacked. The trade-offs are going back and forth through his mind like 2 guns being fired simultaneously. Suddenly he noticed one of the spearow facing him. Apparently he had been sitting there on his bike just a bit too long. Now he had no choice, he would be attacked by them either way. So he did the only thing sensible.

He kicked up his brakes and turned toward the direction of the beat down. He's never felt the peck of a spearow. A pidgey, but not a spearow. He wondered if it would hurt. But he shook those thoughts out of his mind and focused. He started pedaling slowly toward them. He then rapidly pedaled faster. Soon he was at his top speed. At this time more and more of the spearow turned away from the pecking and looked at him. He got closer and closer until...

FLAPFLAPFLAPFLAPFAP!

The sound of birds flapping and the cries of spearow heavily surrounded Ken. The spearow floated a couple feet higher until they were out of the bike's way. Ken extended his hand out, still at top speed. His eyes were closed at this point. Soon, he felt something touch his hand. It wasn't sharp and point, so it couldn't have been a spearow. It was more like fur, skinny, and it was now grabbing on to his hand. It wasn't too heavy, and he finally opened his eyes to get a look at it.

A small mankey was grabbing on to his hand for dear life. Its eyes was closed as if it was scared. From what he knew about mankey, he knows their not usually scared. He turned his head around to see where they were going and...

CRASH!

Like a car against a brick wall, Ken crashed his bike in the big oak tree that he apparently didn't notice he was heading towards to. Soon everything around him was black

10 minutes later

Ken felt something jumping on his face, abruptly waking him up. He pulled his hands towards his face and grabbed it. The mankey he saved was in his grasp, struggling to get out. He looked at the mankey with a weird face until he felt pain in his wrist. He immediately dropped the mankey and grabbed his wrist. A not so deep scratch was pulsating. He sat up and looked at the mankey and it's eyes were engulfed in flames.

Dumbfounded, thats all that could describe Ken right now. He just saved this small defenseless (at least to bird pokemon) pokemon from being pecked to death, and it was angry at him? I mean, yeah, he crashed them both into a big, painful, tree but thats better than being pecked by spearow isn't it? Apparently not to this this mankey.

It looked like it was preparing another attack upon Ken, but then it's face turned from anger to anguish, as it knelt down like a stone in the air. Ken observed it, and noticed it's legs were badly hurt. The spearow had managed to get a few clean shots in before he intervened. His own anger from before disappear, and was replaced with sympathy. He reached over to try to touch the wound, and the mankey was in no status to object. Not knowing much about pokemon wounds, he decided to take it to the Viridian City pokemon center. It shouldn't be too far, he thought to himself.

His bike, was in worse condition than both of them unfortunately. The back wheel was where the front wheel is supposed to be, and who knows where the front wheel is. The chain has been spread out erratically in a short branch above. His father's lunch was covered all over the trunk in the area where he crashed.

"Ramen, such a waste." He sighed.

He would have to run to Viridian now. He grabbed his nearby beanie and his backpack and picked up the mankey in his arms. It was fainted, but still alive. He started jogging towards Viridian at a fast pace.

He thought to himself...he could be in bed asleep right now.

---------------------

Waiting outside the operation room in the Viridian City pokemon center, Ken looked at the door restlessly. The Nurse Joy immediately started working on the mankey. This particular Nurse Joy was close friends with Ken's mom, so Ken has met her on occasion. He then heard a swooshing sound of the door coming from the entrance. He turned his head, and his father Zeke walked in.

Zeke looked around, until he noticed Ken sitting down near the ER door.

"Ken? That you?" He said worriedly.

"What are you doing here dad?"

"I should be asking you that question. You didn't get your starter beaten badly that quick did you?" With a small grin on his face.

"Very funny, but I haven't gotten my starter yet, I was on my way bringing your lunch remember?" He said annoyed.

"Oh right...where is my lunch by the way?" He said impatiently.

"On a tree trunk a mile or 2 away from here."

"What?" He started to cry."But oh whatever will I do for lunch? Your mother made me ramen too" He said sobbing. Ken then stood up and angrily said. "Hey dad, I've got more important issues than your no lunch problem."

"Oh? Is that why your here?" All signs of sadness were gone.

"You would of had your ramen, but I ran into some spearow on the way here. They were attacking a mankey, and by the time I HAD decided to go the other way, they were already coming my way, so I rescued the little thing and came here. Destroying my bike in the process." He said looking down disappointed.

DING-DONG

The ER room sign de-glowed and through the door came Nurse Joy with a happy look on her face. Chansey followed right behind her with a similar look.

"Your mankey is doing just fine. He suffered some bad scratches in his feet, but nothing that won't take a good sleep to fix." She turned to Zeke. "Oh, Zeke, I didn't think you'd be here for a couple of more hours, anything wrong?"

"Oh no, nothing wrong, I just came to get a rhydon from Professor Oak's lab. And-"

Ken interrupted with an annoyed tone.

"My mankey? Oh, no way, no no no no no no no no. After risking my life to save that thing, it still was pissed. And at ME. If it can't appreciate my help, then I'm not doing anything else related to that mankey."

His father looked at him with a grin.

"Oh? You looked pretty worried about it when I came in."

A sweat drop appeared on Ken's face, and he started shaking his hands and his head.

"Oh nononono, I-I was just worried about...um...um...if...if I would ever get a new bike after this! Yeah...Thats it."

Zeke started laughing.

"Ahaha, you like that mankey don't you? You were worried about weren't you? Oh, I knew you always had a soft spot for pokemon, even if you didn't show it." He appeared over Nurse Joy's shoulder like a ghost. "It runs in the family I tells ya."

Ken looked angry and shouted. "Oh shut up dad! Don't you have to be doing something right now? Like jump off a cliff?"

"Oh, I guess so. You win this round I guess." He started to walk away. "I'll just tell Professor Oak you've already got a starting pokemon. Now you don't have to deal with the trouble of picking those 3 you don't like."

A surprised look on his face, Ken started to studder.

" H-Hey! I-I n-n-never said I w-wanted this t-thing as my starter!"

Laughing, his father vanished out of the pokemon center.
