Pokemon: The Dark Saga

by Kenjo the Lord of Lightning

This is the tale of a young man on a journey to become the greatest Pokemon Trainer in the world. The thing is, he's a power-hungry, bloodthirsty, perverted seventeen-year-old that has a questionable past. Rated T for moderately dark humor and blood. R&R! Current region: Hoenn

4. Oldale Town and a New Pokemon

Pokemon: The Dark Saga: Chapter 4: Oldale Town and a New Pokemon

(I've got nothing important to say, so let's get on with the chapter!)

The walk through Route 101 was pretty dull. Although I admit having Torchic kill all of those Wurmple and Zigzagoon was pretty entertaining, especially since Torchic was reluctant to do it at first.

I entered Oldale Town, my blood-covered Torchic walking by my side.

"You know, it's probably not the best idea to show you to the public like this…"

I returned Torchic to its Pokeball, making a stop at the Pokemon Center.

I bumped my way to the front of the line and said, "I need to have this thing healed."

Nurse Joy looked up.

"Wait, you're- My cousins told me all about you! Are you going to ruin this region too?"

"Oh, come on. I didn't ruin Johto. I just went a little overboard."

"I'll heal your fucking Pokemon."

She swiped the Pokeball out of my hand and put it in the Healing Machine. In a couple seconds she thrust it back into my hands.

"Good day, sir."

I walked out, muttering, "Bitch."

As I was about to go to Route 102, I was cut off by someone in a Poke-mart uniform.

"Would you care for a free potion?"

He held a potion out.

"Sure."

I took the potion and walked away.

"Wait, sir! I'm supposed to tell you where our store is!"

"And why should I give a damn?"

"Because it's a store specifically for Trainers such as yourself!"

"Whatever. I guess I can stay in this town for a little bit longer."

"Thank you, sir! You know, if I had given that potion to you without showing you where the store was, I probably would have gotten fired! And that would be terrible because I can't work anywhere else, and I have a family to look out for! I'm the only one who makes money for my family, and if I lose my job, we'll be forced to become hobos!"

"You don't say?"

I noticed a Route heading north of the town.

"What kinds of Pokemon can I find there?"

"Well, every type you can find on Route 101, but I hear that sometimes you can find Wingull if you look hard enough…"

"Interesting."

I pushed him over and bolted towards the northern route.

"What are you doing?!"

"Have fun being fired while I go look for a new Pokemon. Just follow me if you can. Oh wait, you don't have any Pokemon, do you?"

After spending a good amount of time looking, I found a Wingull.

"About damn time."

Without even bothering to send Torchic to fight it, I threw a Pokeball at the Wingull.

The Pokeball hit the Wingull, rocking back and forth a couple times before ceasing its movement.

"That ought to hold it."

I picked up the Pokeball and walked back into town, seeing the same guy from before in street clothes. He looked pretty sad.

I shrugged and walked into Route 102.

(I wonder how much more cruel I can make Bill without turning him into a full-on villain? Or have I crossed that line already? Whatever. I'll let you guys decide if I have.)
