Memories of a Trainer
... Chapter Four: Good luck, Pikachu! ...


Finally, that day came. I'd challenge Brock in a few hours. In the first moments, I was scared, because I wouldn't like to see what I saw with Saur... I took breakfast, and I trained a bit. After two hours of training, we decided to go to the gym, finally.
"I wish you good luck" Blue told me
"Oh, thank you. I swear that I'll do my best" I replied

"SO, ARE YOU HERE FOR NEW BATTLE?" Brock said
"Yeah"
"WELL, LET'S BATTLE!" "I CHOOSE YOU, GEODUDE!" He shouted, throwing the Pokéball at the center of the battlefield.
"(Pikachu, please do your best)" I said to myself, in a low tone "I choose you, come on!" I shouted, throwing the Pokéball
"Would you like to let me take your turn?" He said "Geodude, Rock Throw!"
"Pikachu, Agility!" I shouted, while I was watching how Pikachu was avoiding the rocks that were falling
"Um... easy stuff, I'd say" Brock said, with a smirk in his face "Geodude, don't give up, use Trackle!"
"Pikachu, use Thunder Wave!"
Pikachu made Geodude stay paralized. I used that for a big attack...
"Pikachu, now, Agility, and then, Trackle!"
Pikachu started running very fast, and then, fell on Geodude. Yes, it was fainted.
"GEODUDE!" He shouted, making it coming back to the Pokéball
"I wasn't ready, so, I will give you the Boulder Badge. It will boost the attack of your team"
"THANK YOUUU!"
"No problem, and I apologize for damaging your Bulbasaur"
"Don't worry, it's fine"

We left the gym, waving at him. We went to the Pokémon Center, for a rest, because tomorrow, we'd leave the city to go to the Mt. Moon.

When we entered the PokéCenter, all the lights were out, and there wasn't anybody.
"What could happen?" Blue asked
When I was to reply her, a weird couple, formed of a man and a woman in black, took us.
"Hey! ~ What happened? We bondaged all Pokémon and everything here!" Said the mysteryous woman
"S-shut up, Allison!"
"So... her name's Allison?"
"I don't understand anything"
"Let us present, at least, no, Allison?" The man yelled at her
"Well... my name is Kurt, and she's Allison"
"We're Team Rocket grunts"
"What the...?"
