Pokémon: champion journey

Ch 3: a rival, and a friend

Nick had woken up at the Pokémon center the next morning with his Cyndaquil on his stomach asleep. He looked around to find the girl he was traveling with last night. A couple of moments later the girl had woken up from her sleep.

"Good morning kid" the girl said

"Hey my names not kid its nick and we're the same age"

"Sorry ki- I mean nick you just look to-"

"New yeah I just started my journey yesterday"

"I can tell your Cyndaquil looks tired what did you do fight every Rattata in the area?" the girl asked

"Eh...well he might have hit a few…" nick tried to say

"Unbelievable" the girl said

"Hey what did that guy want with you" nick asked

"I don't know" the girl said looking distant

Things were quiet until nurse joy walked into the room with a clipboard. "well it looks like she has amnesia, one Pokémon, an Eevee, and the only thing in her bag was a basic trainer ID with only her name and ID number on it nothing else." She said giving nick and the girl an explanation of who the girl was or is. The girl grabbed her ID and only saw her picture, ID number, gender, age, and her name but the last name was scratched. "Caitlin that's my name" she said trying to remember her past.

"Hey lets go get some Breakfast I'm starving" nick said

"Okay" Caitlin said

When they made it to the breakfast room the smell of waffles and bacon reached their noses. Nick and his Cyndaquil had run towards the counter to order breakfast while Caitlin went to find a table. "Cyndaquil grab the silverware I'll get the food." Nick said "quill" (okay) Cyndaquil said. Nick had grabbed all the major food groups. Waffles, eggs, bacon, sausage, and orange juice. When they were done getting the food for everyone nick and Cyndaquil had found where Caitlin went but she wasn't sitting. It looked like someone else was sitting there and wasn't getting up. "What do you mean reserved" Caitlin said. "I said the seat is reserved for me and a special lady" the guy said. He wore a white button up shirt with a blue tie and black vest. He was also wearing black jeans and black Nike's. He had blond hair that was combed back and he was wearing cologne. A little too much for anyone to endure.

"If you want to sit here just ditch the wimp and the fire rat." He said smugly

"Oh you did NOT just insult my Cyndaquil" nick shouted

"Cyndaquil cynda quill" (you did not just insult my trainer) Cyndaquil said furiously

"So what. If you're a trainer then battle me" the guy said

"FINE!" nick shouted with anger

Outside nick and the guy decided to battle. A few other trainers decided to watch.

"Oh man a newbie is going to battle Ryan" one said

"This going to be good" another said

"I hope he knows what he's doing" Caitlin said to herself

"Get ready to apologize punk" nick said

"In your dreams pipsqueak" Ryan said

"Cyndaquil go" nick said as Cyndaquil ran into the ring

"Go Squirtle" Ryan said as a Squirtle appeared out from a poke ball

"Cyndaquil use flamethrower" nick said as Cyndaquil shot a stream of fire at Squirtle scorching its shell.

"Squirtle water gun" Ryan said. However Squirtle purposely shot streams of water at both Cyndaquil and nick. Everyone in the area began to laugh at him but Caitlin was getting mad. He saw how Ryan was showing off but she couldn't do anything she doesn't even remember how to battle yet. Nick was getting angrier and so was cyndaquil. In fact cyndaquil's flame began to glow and there were also little orbs of light entering it.

"Cyndaquil move" nick said, but it was unresponsive as if it couldn't move.

"Squirtle finish this" Ryan said as Squirtle closed in to finish the battle when Cyndaquil let out a beam of light that hit Squirtle at close range making it faint.

"Squirtle lost" Ryan said in shock as he looked at nick

"YOU CHEATED" he said in anger and disbelief

"What no Cyndaquil obviously used solar beam" nick said

"YOU'RE WRONG FIRE TYPES CANT USE GRASS TYPE MOVES" Ryan said

"Well no you're wrong Ryan some fire types, like Cyndaquil, can learn solar beam" Caitlin said

Everyone in the surrounding area couldn't believe what they saw. Some of them even got a video of the match.

"Delete them" Ryan said "DELETE THEM NOW!" Ryan demanded everyone knowing they recorded the whole thing some of them still were. When everyone went home they would see Ryan flip out all over the web.

Some guy came up to him he looked a little sickly like he never went outside a day in his life. His glasses were big and he wore a white dress shirt and blue jeans, and his shoes were just regular tennis shoes.

"Do you know what you just did" he said

"No?" nick asked as if he were being interrogated

"You just KO'd Ryan's Squirtle" the random guy said as he looked at nick in an excited fashion.

"Do I know you?" nick asked

"No. my names Kyle who are you" Kyle said very excitedly

"I'm nick" nick said steadily "what's so special about his Squirtle anyway it looks pretty ordinary to me"

"Yeah but his dad is Gary oak and he's been training his whole life!" Kyle said

"Whoa" nick said "his dad is Gary oak"

"Yeah he even trained with his uncle blue for a couple weeks before leaving on his journey" Kyle said

"Wait how do you know this" nick asked

"I always get information on top trainers even new ones" Kyle said "are the new trainer from New Bark town?" Kyle asked

"Yeah how did you know?" nick asked

"My information system is second to none." Kyle said confidently

"Well are you a trainer?" nick asked

"Sadly yes, but all I have is a Pichu" Kyle said sadly

"Well come with us" nick said

"Us? Who else is traveling with you?" Kyle asked

"A girl with amnesia" nick said just then Caitlin had walked up to Nick and Kyle

"Good job" she said happily

"Thanks but I didn't teach Cyndaquil solar beam" nick said

"I know I did" Caitlin said

"How" Kyle asked amazed

"I found a TM on the floor while you and Cyndaquil were grabbing the food then I just taught to Cyndaquil when you weren't looking." Caitlin said

"Wow just wow" Nick said "oh by the way Kyle here says he wants to come with us"

"Really" Caitlin said "well okay. As long as he doesn't touch my stuff"

"What stuff I found you in the Forrest. You have nothing." Nick said

"Oh yeah" Caitlin said

"So Kyle what's your dream?" nick asked

"I want to be a Gym leader like my Brother Roark in Sinnoh" Kyle said

"Wait if you're from Sinnoh then why are you in Jhoto" Nick asked

"I wanted to enter the Silver Conference" Kyle said

"Me too lets go for it together" Nick said

"Okay" Kyle said

Nick, Kyle and Caitlin all went to eat breakfast, then pick up their Pokémon from Nurse joy and headed out towards route 30 Together.
