He made it to Viridian City with no problem; however, finding the pokemon center was a totally different story.
He remembered that the red haired girl had said that the pokemon center had a red roof.
He found a building that had a red roof with ease.
He threw the door open, and a family room was what he saw. Man, these pokemon centers are more like a house then he realized.
"Hey, what are you doing in my house," shouted a voice of a man.
Ash turned to face where the voice had come from, "I'm looking for a pokemon center, can you help me," hoping that this stranger would help him in his time of need.
Instead, the stranger just looked angry, "you're probably with that Team Rocket group, here to steal my money, get him growlithe!"
With that, a red dog pokemon charged forward.
Ash turned, and ran back out the door, making sure to slam the door behind him, hearing growlithe hit the door.
Deciding that randomly running into houses was out, he decided to look for someone who could tell him where the pokemon center was.
After running around the town a couple of times, he was stopped by a woman on a motorcycle, "stop, I'm Officer Jenny, and I had a complaint from a citizen from this town that you are breaking into houses! You are coming with me!"
Before Ash could explain, he was pulled into the side car, and was in a jail cell.
However, it only took him 5 seconds to explain what was happening.
"You're trying to get to the pokemon center, why didn't you tell me," she asked angrily, even thought she hadn't given him a chance to say a thing before.
He got back in the side car, and they were speeding along.
As they drove along, Ash decided to ask about Team Rocket, he had never heard about them before.
Jenny turned to him in shock, "you never heard of Team Rocket before, they have been causing nothing but trouble for the past couple of weeks. The team steals other people's pokemon, and sells them for profit, and they do other nasty things, that people can only guess what it is. If there is a crime, it probably has team rockets finger prints all over it."
Thinking this over, Ash asked the question that was on his mind, "if they are so evil, why don't you just arrest them, and put them in jail?"
Officer Jenny let out a huge sight, "That's just the thing, team Rocket is all over the country. We don't even know who the leader is. All I know is that if we ever catch one of them, they are broken out all most immediately, whoever the leader is, he must have a ton of power. Oh look, we are there."
Right in front of them appeared a big building. It had a red roof and a giant red pokeball sign on it. It even had a sign on it that read, Pokemon Center.
Ash was prepared to get out of the side car, but Officer Jenny kept going, straight into the building, and parked in front on the desk!
The Nurse that was sitting behind the desk stared in them confusion. She knew that Officer Jenny liked to go to the extremes in some situations, but this was a first.
Officer Jenny turned to the Nurse, "we have a pokemon emergency, this trainer has pokemon that needs help!"
Seeing that this was a cue, Ash got out of the side car, and ran up to the desk, "please, help my pokemon," he took out Clefairys and Spearows pokeballs and handed them to the pokemon nurse.
"Don't worry, I'm Nurse Joy, and I will take good care of you pokemon, please wait in our waiting area, and get that motorcycle out of my lobby." With that said, Nurse Joy turned, and walked through a door that was behind her. The door closed behind her, the red needle sign that was above the door turned red.
Officer Jenny blushed when she heard this, man, she over did it again. With that, she took the motorcycle back out the front door, leaving Ash alone. He could take care of himself, she reasoned, and she still had to stop the duo that had been bothering the town.
When left alone, all Ash could do was stare at the light above the door. He should have taken better care of his pokemon.
Knowing that there was nothing he could do, Ash sat in one of the chairs, and waited.
As he sat, he saw a telephone, might as well call home, he reasoned.
Before long, he was looking at his moms face on the screen.
His mom looked really excited to see him, "Ash, how are you doing, where are you calling from?" Ash explained his location, "Oh Ash, you made it to your first town, I am so proud of you!"
Instead of feeling proud, Ash just felt down in the dumps, "it's not that big of a deal mom," he stated, feeling depressed.
Seeing that her son was down in the dumps, she tried to cheer him up, "you know, it took your dad four days to make it as far as you did today."
Instead of cheering Ash up, this made him feel worse, "mom, there is a path that leads straight to this town, how could he have gotten lost."
Ash's mom realized her mistake, while it was true that it took him four days to make it to that town, this was because he explored the area instead of going straight to the next town. Instead of correcting herself, she went from there, "you're just staring on your journey, and are bound to make mistakes, just take it one step at a time! And remember to change your you know what's every day." With that, his mom hung up.
Ash actually felt better. Sure he made a mistake, but he would make it up to his pokemon, and make sure this didn't happen again.
Before he could sit down, the phone started ringing. Thinking it was his mom, he answered the phone.
Imagine his surprise when he was facing Professor Oak. "Ah Ash, I see that your mother was correct, and that you made it to Viridian City pokemon center! I knew that you could do it, so, how's your pokemon, did you manage to catch any?" With that, Ash explained what has happened since he left the town. "I see, as long as you learned your lesson. And I am proud to hear that you have caught your first pokemon. The other trainers from Pallet Town should be in Viridian Forest. Each of them have caught two pokemon. Remember, each trainer follows a different path." With that Professor Oak hung up.
Sitting down, Ash thought this over. Gary and the two other people weren't too far ahead of him; he should be able to catch up. With that, he decided that as soon as he got Clefairy and Spearow back, he would also head to the forest, and catch another pokemon.
With his mind made up, Ash got ready to wait.
Out of nowhere, the front door was kicked in.
Standing in the door way was the red headed girl. "You, where's my bike," she screamed out.
Ash stood up quickly, realizing that he had left the bike back on the path. Without the Spearows chasing them anymore, there was no reason to take it with them. "It's you, from the before, Uhhh…didn't you pass it on the way here?"
This only seemed to make her madder, "I'll have you know, my name is Misty, and I am a water pokemon master, you better remember that! And how could you leave my expensive bike out in the open like that!" With that, she ran off.
Sitting back down, Ash hoped that nothing bad had happened to that girl's bike, she might make him buy her a new one, and who knew how much a bike would cost him.
He must have fallen asleep or something, because the next thing he knew, the door was being kicked in again.
Misty stormed in, "I'll have you know, it's gone, no thanks to you!" Feeling guilty, Ash offered to pay for it. "How can you ever hope to repay for it, it's a Cerulean City racer bike, it costs one million bucks!"
"Ok, I'll p…wait, what, then how did you pay for it then," he asked her in shock.
"Well I'm t…that's not important, all I know is that you better pay me back," she answered angrily.
Ash sighed in defeat, it would take him forever to earn that amount of money, but it was his fault that her bike was stolen. Might as well, "ok, I'll pay you back, but for now I need to wait for my pokemon to finish being healed."
With this said, Misty seemed to remember the reason that Ash was going to the pokemon center, "so how is Clefairy," she asked, as she sat down next to Ash.
He turned to her, "I'm not sure."
Not too much longer, the light above the door turned off, and Nurse Joy came out.
Ash rushed to the desk, "how are they, how are my pokemon?"
Nurse Joy turned to him, looking grim, then she smiled, holding out the two pokeballs, "you pokemon are fine, just make sure that this doesn't happen again."
Smiling in relief, Ash took his pokemon.
Before he could do a thing else, there was an explosion, and a ton of smoke filled the room.
When the cloud smoke cleared, there were two people and three pokemon in front of them.
Apparently, they had blown the front door in. Behind them, there was a balloon that was shaped like the cat Pokémon's head.
Ash pulled out his pokedex, and found out that the pokemon were Meowth, ekans, and koffing.
Before anyone could say anything, the people started posing, and doing a song, if you would call it that.
The girl started it, "Prepare for trouble!"
Which was followed by the guy, who struck a pose "and make it double."
The girl chimed in again, "to protect the world from devastation."
"To unite all peoples within our nation," apparently, the two say this often.
"To protect the evils of truth and love," would this ever end, Ash wondered.
"To extend our reach to the stars above," apparently not.
"Jessie!"
"James!"
"Team Rocket blasts off at the speed of light!"
"Surrender now, or prepare to fight!"
"Meowth, that's right, and we're here to take all the rare pokemon from this building."
Ash just stood there, wait, did that Meowth talk! He didn't think any pokemon could talk. Then it occurred to him what the people were saying, Team Rocket were the evil people that Officer Jenny told him about. "You won't get these pokemon!"
Before they could say anything, Nurse Joy stepped forward, "I'm going to have to ask you to leave, right now. We are a pokemon hospital, and we have no pokemon here."
Hearing this, the crooks looked on in disbelief, no pokemon? Well there was that brat in front of them, he obviously has pokemon, judging from the two pokeballs that he was holding, and the chansey that stood next to Nurse Joy.
Meowth stepped forward, "while there aren't as many as we hoped for, we'll take the pokemon that you do have," he turned to his partners, "you guys know what to do!"
"Ekans, koffing, attack," they called out.
The two pokemon leapt at them.
Ash sent out Clefairy and Spearow and Misty sent out a fish pokemon, which flopped uselessly on the ground.
So the girl also has pokemon as well, thought Meowth, we could get more than we thought before.
Ash turned to Misty, "don't you have another better pokemon? Some water pokemon master you turned out to be!"
Hearing this, Misty got mad. "I'll show you!" With that, she returned golden, and sent out another pokemon, "ok, starmie, use water gun!"
Starmie shot out a jet of water, sending Team Rocket flying away.
Ash looked on in awe, "wow, I take that back, you beat those two without breaking a sweet!"
Misty turned to him, "opps, the bad guys got away." She turned to Nurse Joy, "you have a pokemon, why didn't you use her?"
Nurse Joe stepped forward, with chansey following close behind. "I've always been afraid to battle. But if you could do that, then I should battle as well, we shouldn't have a problem with Team Rocket ever again!"
Ash left the pokemon center.
Since Misty had taken out Team Rocket so quickly, there wasn't that much damage.
He was getting lonely, walking by himself, so he let Clefairy out of her pokeball, "come on Clefairy, we need to catch up to the other trainers from Pallet Town!"
They had no problem finding the exit to the town.
As they walked, Ash noticed that Clefairy would turn and look behind them every once and a while.
After a while, he called out, "I know you're back there, stop following me." When nothing happened, he just kept going.
After a while, he heard a scream.
Thinking that there might be trouble, Ash followed where he thought the noise came from.
He found Misty on the floor, thinking that she might have been attacked from some fierce pokemon; he turned to face her attacker.
There, on the ground in front of her was a small bug pokemon, which Ash found out was a caterpie.
All right, a pokemon, he thought, he got out an empty pokeball.
He threw it at the pokemon, hoping that he had better aim then before.
However, before the pokeball could catch the pokemon, another pokeball caught the pokemon, and the pokeball started to rock.
I wonder how many people are wondering who caught the caterpie? I know who it is, just wondering if any one guessed right?
On the TV show, I never really got why Misty didn't use on of her other pokemon And why didn't Nurse Joe just use Chansey to battle? And what was with all the pokemon in pokeballs any way?
There wasn't too many changes, some spelling changes. Now, it is time for the newest chapter!
