Pokémon: Champion journey
Ch:4 on routes 30 & 31
Nick, Kyle, and Caitlin were walking away from the Pokémon center in Cherrygrove city and went to route 30 towards Violet city. However Nick had other plans.
*Grumble* "aw man why didn't even get to eat today" Nick said sadly
"Yeah that Ryan guy didn't even let us eat in peace" Caitlin complained
"He just kept giving us dirty looks, so we couldn't really enjoy breakfast that much." Nick said getting more depressed
"I could cook us something guys" Kyle said
"Wait you can cook" Nick said excitedly
"Yeah, when it's you and just a Pichu you learn to cook" Kyle said
"Wait we don't have any supplies to cook" Caitlin said
"And all I have is Pokémon food" Nick added
"Don't worry guys I already have some food, I got it while you were battling Ryan" Kyle said
"Well what do we need to do?" Nick asked
"I need Cyndaquil to start a fire, while you and Caitlin go get some fire wood" Kyle said
"Okay," Nick said "Go Cyndaquil" Nick said as he threw his pokéball in the air
"Cyndaquil"
"Cyndaquil you need to stay here and help Kyle, me and Caitlin need to get some firewood" Nick explained to the fire mouse Pokémon
"Cynda" 'okay'
"Alright let's get some firewood" Caitlin said as they both went into the woods to get some wood
The forest on route 30 was full of all sorts of Pokémon and some were really friendly however one Pokémon was waiting in the deepest part of the forest until a trainer. Unfortunately for Nick and Caitlin they were heading in its direction
"So hamburgers or hotdogs?" Nick asked
"Burgers" Caitlin said
"Really, I totally pegged you as a hotdog person" Nick said
"Why do you say that?" Caitlin asked
"You look too slender, most burger fanatics have at least more of a stomach" Nick said "Its common science"
"On what grounds?" Caitlin asked confused
"Wikipedia" Nick said plainly
"Really that's-" Caitlin tried to say until they heard a Pokémon cry out for help
"What just happened" Caitlin asked
Nick and Caitlin ran towards the source of the noise until they found the source of the noise
A wild Poliwrath had fought all of the other water Pokémon that were at the nearby pond and it was closing on a Slowpoke that was trying to make a 'speedy' get away.
"Pidgey go use gust!" Nick shouted as Pidgey came out of its pokéball and started flapping its wings at Poliwrath. However Poliwrath just shook it off and used mega punch on Pidgey.
"Pidgey no!" Nick shouted as his Pidgey fell back on the ground
"Come on Pidgey I believe in you, I need you to get up" Nick cried as his Pidgey got up and started glowing
"No way" Nick said
"Your Pidgey's evolving" Caitlin said with disbelief
"pidge-toooo!" Pidgeotto exclaimed as he started to fly again
"Pidgeotto use wing attack!" Nick yelled as his newly evolved Pidgeotto attacked the wild Poliwrath as it stumbled backwards. Poliwrath soon got angry and went to attack the slowpoke that tried to escape.
"We got to get that slowpoke outta here" Nick said
"Way ahead of you" Caitlin said "pokéball go!" Caitlin said as she threw a pokéball at the slowpoke that was being attacked. It wiggled three times before it stopped.
"Yes!" Caitlin said as she picked up her pokéball now containing a slowpoke
"Now Pidgeotto use wing attack again!" Nick said as Pidgeotto attacked the wild Poliwrath thus knocking it out.
"Now go pokéball!" Nick said as he threw a pokéball at the wild Poliwrath.
The ball shook once
'Come on'
Twice
'Come on'
Three times
'COME ON!'
Then the pokéball stopped shaking and was still
"Yes I caught a Poliwrath!" Nick shouted as the other wild Pokémon started cheering. Now knowing that their tormentor is gone.
"Wait weren't we supposed to be doing something" Caitlin asked
"We forgot the firewood" Nick said as he and Caitlin scrambled to pick as many pieces of wood as they could then headed back to their campsite.
"Hey guys where you me and Cyndaquil were waiting forever were" Kyle said as his two friends returned
"There was a Poliwrath attacking wild Pokémon"
"So Nick and I went to help them out"
"When we got there it was attacking a wild slowpoke so me and Pidgey stepped in"
"But Pidgey was knocked back and hit the ground"
"Then Pidgey got up and evolved into Pidgeotto!"
"And before the wild Poliwrath could attack the slowpoke again so I caught it to keep it safe"
"Then Pidgeotto finished off Poliwrath with its wing attack and I caught the wild Poliwrath
"Hats why were late"
"Okay" Kyle said as he tried to process the entire story "show me the Poliwrath and slowpoke"
Both Nick and Caitlin threw out their Pokémon and Poliwrath and slowpoke came out. When Poliwrath came out he started going berserk until Nick noticed there was a splinter in its back
"Is that your problem" Nick asked Poliwrath
"Poli" Poliwrath said as Nick pulled out the splinter from Poliwrath's back. When Poliwrath calmed down he started talking to Cyndaquil for a while as well as Pidgeotto. Meanwhile Caitlin's Eevee was playing with slowpoke while Kyle's Pichu was napping on a nearby rock.
"Alright guys Time to eat" Kyle said as Nick and Caitlin went to the table
"Whoa look at this" Nick said
"Yup, for lunch I made hamburgers and hotdogs" Kyle said
"You just happen to have these in your bag?" Caitlin asked
"Well I was getting food for me and pichu earlier and figured I would splurge a bit" Kyle said "why, do you guys not like hamburgers and hotdogs?" Kyle asked
"No we like them but, we were talking about this earlier" Nick said
"Huh go figure" Caitlin said
"Also I made some special Pokémon food for everyone" Kyle said
When Kyle said this all of their Pokémon went to eat their food. However Cyndaquil started to complain about the food while making small whining sounds.
"What's wrong with Cyndaquil I don't see any of the other Pokémon complaining" Kyle stated
"I forgot Cyndaquil likes his food spicy, Hold on" Nick said as he pulled out a small can of hot pepper flakes and began to sprinkle some on Cyndaquil's food
"Cyndaquil" 'thank you' Cyndaquil cheered as he began to eat the Pokémon food like there was no tomorrow
"Cyndaquil slow down you're going to choke" Nick said as Cyndaquil began to slow down
"Okay guys a little longer and then we go to Violet city" Nick said
"Yeah but that's a long way away from here Nick we have to pace ourselves" Caitlin said as she and Kyle watched as Nick was jumping up and down like a kid in a candy store.
"Sorry guys I guess I got a little excited, this is going to be my first gym badge ever so guess I may have gotten a little carried away" Nick said sheepishly
"Just sit down and eat your burger" Kyle said as they all finished their lunch and set out towards route 31
"Hey guys it's getting late we should probably set up camp" Kyle said
"Alright so who brought a tent" Caitlin said
*silence*
"I might have one but…" Nick began
"But what?" Caitlin asked
"I only have a single person tent, I didn't think I would have anyone else traveling with me" Nick said defensively
"Well I guess I'll take it" Caitlin said
"Why do you get it" Kyle said "I worked hard to make you guys lunch I should get the tent" Kyle said
"Hey it's my tent I feel like I should get it" Nick said
"Do you guys even Know how to treat a lady" Caitlin said "I should get the tent" she finished
"Well there's only one way to decide this" Nick said
"What?" Kyle and Caitlin said at the same time
"A three way Pokémon battle winner gets the tent" Nick said
"Alright sounds interesting" Kyle said
"Cyndaquil Go!" Nick said throwing Cyndaquil's pokéball in the air releasing the tiny fire mouse Pokémon
"Pichu I choose you" Kyle said releasing his Pichu from its Pokéball
"Go Slowpoke" Caitlin said as she sent out her newly acquired Pokémon
Everyone and their Pokémon stood still like it was and old time western showdown waiting for someone to make the first move
"Pichu use discharge on Slowpoke" Kyle said as Pichu let loose a few yellow sparks of electricity on Caitlin's Slowpoke but it shook it off
"Slowpoke use Psychic on Pichu" Caitlin said as Slowpoke began to lift Pichu in the air with its psychic powers
"Cyndaquil use sunny day" Nick said as Cyndaquil let out a burst of energy lighting up the Night sky
"Now use solar beam on Slowpoke" Nick said as Cyndaquil fired a solar beam at Slowpoke
"Pichu use thunder shock on Slowpoke" Kyle said as Pichu fired a small stream of electricity at Slowpoke
When all was said and done Pichu passed out and Cyndaquil was tired from the solar beam attack
"Pichu no!" Kyle said as he went to get Pichu up "you did your best buddy now take a good rest" Kyle said as he returned Pichu to its pokéball
"Cyndaquil can you keep going" Nick asked
"Quiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiil!" Cyndaquil roared as its flame got bigger
"Okay then, use Quick attack" Nick said as Cyndaquil got faster and Charged at Slowpoke with everything it had
"Now slowpoke use Hydro pump" Caitlin said
"How do you even know that slowpoke can even use Hydro-" Nick was cut off by slowpoke shooting off a powerful stream of water at Cyndaquil causing him to faint
"How did you know?" Nick asked returning Cyndaquil to his pokéball
"I guessed" Caitlin said as she returned Slowpoke to its ball "that'll be one tent please" Caitlin asked sweetly as Nick pulled out the tent from his bag and handed over his tent in defeat
That Night Caitlin had a Nightmare of her past. She was at home with her parents but it was too fuzzy to see what they looked like and their voices were too muffled to understand. She soon got up and headed outside. For a while she walked by a couple of places until she realized this must have been a journey. She saw many people and a lot of builds move and change at a fast pace.
When she was able to see clearly she was at prof. Elm's lab and her Eevee was there. Did she go all that way just for her Eevee? She looked around a bit until she saw her bag. When she woke yesterday at the Pokémon center it was empty but something was in it at the lab.
Later on in the dream she saw a few members of team rocket throw a container of gas at her. she saw her emery version of herself pass out then she saw them take the contents of her bag and leave. The next thing she knew she saw Nick and Cyndaquil walking down the road. Well Nick was walking Cyndaquil was attacking a heard of Rattata. That's when Cyndaquil had noticed her in the grass asleep. 'This must be when Nick found me on route 29' Caitlin thought as she heard Nick call her Beautiful 'oh my' Caitlin thought. She saw Nick and Cyndaquil Fighting The team rocket grunt but she saw someone call out a Bulbasaur from far away. Wait I think I know this person it's….
Caitlin woke up with a start as she was pulled out of her dream by Nick and Kyle.
"Caitlin wake up Breakfast is ready" Kyle said
"If you don't get up ill feed your portion to Poliwrath, don't think I won't do it either he looks hungry" Nick warned
Caitlin go dressed and at her portion of breakfast, Bacon and eggs, yay. When she finished Kyle washed and put away the dishes
"Alright guys let's get ready to go to Violet City!" Nick Said Heading down the path
"Nick wait!" Kyle said running after him
Meanwhile Caitlin was falling behind thinking about who that boy with the Bulbasaur was.
