Chapter 7: Electric Overload
Its really dark in here. The thunderstorm was raging outside causing loud boom noises on the roof. The power had been thrown and it was midnight. Pitch black midnight. Not even a single star was giving off light. The only light was from the thunder itself blasting down at the yard and windows and roof. It was scarier then staring into the depths of hell and I didn't want to stick around by myself. I decided to find my way to my mom to see if she was alright. I felt around on what felt like a doorknob and turned it. The door opened and I proceeded out of my room into the hallway that leads to my moms room. The hall felt like it never ended. With each inch I crept slowly it seemed like it grew a foot in length. I made it to my moms room and opened her door. There wasn't a sound. I couldn't tell if she was laying in bed asleep or what. Just then the thunder struck down once more and I jumped back. "Holy shit that was scary!" I said in my mind. Just then I felt a cold arm on my shoulder. I shriveled in shock and didn't turn around. Then I heard a shout cry. "Red! Come over here Red!" I turned around and saw a small light coming back from where my room was. I followed it back and lightly pushed open my door. The light vanished, and the door shut behind me. Lightning struck the ground again and I jumped back in horror. I stepped on something and felt of the ground. It was a liquid. The lightning struck the ground again and the light from it made me able to see that the liquid was dark red. It was blood.
"AAAHHHH!"
I woke up screaming and looked around the room. The clock said it was midnight. Green jumped up startled.
"Red what's wrong?"
She asked me rubbing her eyes.
"Sorry Green I was having a nightmare."
"From the sounds of it you pissed yourself."
She said laughing then went back to sleep. I closed my eyes and went back to sleep as well. I woke up around 8 am and saw Green was already up ready to get a move on.
"Did you clean up your river you made?"
She was giggling.
"There was no river I just had a nightmare last night."
"I know I'm just messing with you. What was the nightmare about?"
"There was a thunderstorm going on at my house and the power had been knocked out. I went to find my mom but no one was in her room. I heard a voice call my name and saw a light coming back from my room. I went back to my room and stepped on something and felt around on the ground. It was blood."
Green wasn't laughing anymore and placed a hand on my shoulder and said,
"Sorry for making fun. I didn't mean it."
"Its ok Green."
After getting dressed and making sure our pokemon were fully healed we left the Cerulean City Pokemon Center and headed to the local diner in that town to get some food before we proceeded to Vermilion City as Bill had suggested.
"Hmm what do I want?"
Green said scanning the menu with one finger from one hand and one finger from the other hand on the lips of her mouth in a manner most men would find appealing and it was pretty appealing.
"Oh I know! I will get water and toast!"
"Really again Green? At the rate your going your gonna die of hunger."
"Oh shut up Red. At the rate your going your gonna die of cholesterol and clogged arteries."
"Good point. I should change what I eat then."
I scanned the menu for a moment and said,
"I will get bacon and eggs this time around."
"I don't think you understand what I meant at all, jack ass."
"I do. I do. I will also get toast. Its bread and bread is healthy for you."
Green just shook her head. After eating our food and making sure our pokemon were full we left the diner and proceeded on the road to Vermilion City.
"According to the news I was watching last night they have most ways blocked off from travel so we will have to go south past Route 5 and into a underground path to get to Vermilion City."
Green stated. We left Cerulean and went on Route 5.
Route 5 was pretty short there was some patches of grass for training or catching wild pokemon but mostly it was just a walk way to the underground path. It only took a couple of minutes to get from Route 5 to the underground path.
"Ok Red. This must be the underground path. It should take us to Vermilion City."
I nodded and we headed down the ladder to the path. The path looked incredibly long like it was never gonna end.
"This is gonna take days."
I muttered. Green just ignored me and kept walking with pichu holding on to her shoulders.
"Geez, someone is sure moody today."
I said softly where I thought Green couldn't hear me. I was wrong. Green turned around and slapped me in the face.
"I don't feel so well!"
"Maybe its because you didn't eat anything for breakfast. Or maybe your on your period."
I said laughing. Her face lit up dark red and she madly turned and slapped me again even harder this time. My face felt like it was on fire and it looked like it had a big bruise on it.
"Someone sure is pressing there luck today."
Green said in a mad tone. I responded with,
"Lets stop fighting or we'll end up killing each other before we even make it to Vermilion City."
Green muttered something where I couldn't hear then nodded. After finally exiting the underground path we had arrived on Route 6.
Route 6 was long in length. It had trees everywhere and tall patches of grass pokemon would run wild in. It had trainers of all kinds along the route. It also had large patches of water ideal for fishing in. We proceeded down the route but was stopped rather soon by a young trainer who wanted to battle. I accepted his challenge and threw out my first pokemon.
"Go Pidgey."
Pidgey flapped its wings and readied for battle. The trainer threw out his first pokemon saying,
"Go Weedle."
"Weedle use poison sting."
"Pidgey use gust."
Gust hit the Weedle knocking it out in one hit.
"Ok, go Caterpie. Use tackle."
"Pidgey use wing attack."
The wing attack hit Caterpie knocking out before it could even use tackle. After the battle Pidgey started to glow and his appearance changed. He had evolved. I took out my pokedex and it said Pidgey had evolved into Pidgeotto.
"Awesome job Pidgey you evolved."
After defeating the trainer we headed further down the route and were stopped by another trainer. This time Green wanted to battle. The trainer saw Green was ready and held out his poke ball.
"Go Butterfree."
He said while throwing the ball. Green threw hers and said,
"Go Ivysaur."
Ivysaur appeared ready to battle.
"Ok Butterfree use Confusion."
"Ivysaur leech seed."
Butterfree was seeded but the confusion Ivysaur knocking him back.
"Now Butterfree use wing attack."
"Dodge it and use Razor Leaf."
Before Ivysaur could even move the wing attack had struck knocking him down hard. Ivysaur panting though used the Razor leaf knocking Butterfree back some. The leech seed sapped some of Butterfrees health and gave it to Ivysaur but it wasn't much.
"Ok Butterfree one more time use wing attack."
Green saw Ivysaur was close to fainting. One more wing attack would sure knock him out but she seemed focused on what was already happening.
"Ivysaur use Razor leaf again."
Leaves hit Butterfree stunning it for a moment then Butterfree flapped its wings and the force of the wing attack knocked Ivysaur out.
"Ivysaur return. Go Pichu."
Pichu hopped off of Greens shoulders where it was most comfortable at and approached the Butterfree.
"Use thundershock."
Before the trainer could even command Butterfree to attack the thundershock hit knocking Butterfree unconscious.
"Ugh, Ok Butterfree return. Go Pidgey."
The trainers Pidgey appeared and flew down onto the ground ready for a command.
"Use quick attack."
Pidgey started running at Pichu when Green said,
"Pichu use volt tackle."
Pichus body glowed bright yellow and he volted forward knocking the pidgey into a wall which knocked it out cold in one blow.
"Good work Pichu."
Green said smiling and Pichu hopped back up on her shoulders. We walked further along the route and this time there was two trainers who saw us both. One was a boy and one was a girl. The girl spoke up and said,
"I'm going to show my boyfriend that I don't need protection all the time. Lets battle."
The guy who I assumed was her boyfriend immediately spoke up and said,
"Lets make it a double battle. I want to show my girlfriend she needs protection from people."
We lined up across from the couple and the battle started. The girl said,
"Ok we'll show him go Meowth."
A cat pokemon with a golden plate over its forehead appeared.
"We'll show her. Go Bellsprout."
Green held out her first poke ball and said,
"Go Butterfree."
Her Butterfree glistened from its poke ball flapping its wings in a sparkle from the sunlight. Green smiled and I could tell she was feeling better now. I threw my Pokemon as well and said,
"Go Mankey."
The girl pointed at Mankey and said,
"Ok lets win this without him helping. Meowth use fury swipes."
Her boyfriend pointed at Butterfree and said,
"We'll help so you don't get hurt. Bellsprout use vine whip on Butterfree."
Green and I then commanded our pokemon.
"Butterfree use confusion."
"Mankey you use fury swipes also."
Meowth started swiping at Mankey and Mankey retaliated swiping at him back. They kept slashing and slashing into one another neither giving an inch. Bellsprout hit Butterfree with its vines but Butterfrees confusion knocked it back.
"Keep it up Meowth! Your stronger then Mankey!"
"Umm…. We must show her we can win. Bellsprout use wrap."
"Butterfree use wing attack."
"Mankey you keep using fury swipes also."
Butterfree flapped its wings ready to do the wing attack when the wrap constricted it in place preventing Butterfree from moving and squeezing the life out of it. Meowth kept swiping at Mankey and Mankey kept swiping back. They finally knocked each other backwards and got back up on there feet.
"Ok Meowth use fury swipes again."
"Mankey use karate chop."
Meowth started to swipe at Mankey again but Mankey jumped back and nailed Meowth with a hard chop knocking it out.
"Meowth!"
The girl shouted. Her boyfriend spoke up and said,
"See I knew I have to keep you protected. Bellsprout release your wrap on Butterfree and use vine whip on Mankey."
Bellsprout went to wrap Mankey in place like it had done Butterfree when Green said,
"Butterfree use sleep powder."
Bellsprout feel asleep almost immediately. Green and I looked at one another and smiled. Then we commanded them to attack in unison,
"Butterfree use confusion."
"Mankey use karate chop."
Butterfrees confusion hit the sleeping Bellsprout knocking it backwards into the air and Mankey hit his karate chop in the air knocking it back to the ground and out cold.
"So much for protection huh!"
The girl said shaking her fist at her boyfriend. Green giggled and we left headed further down to the end of Route 6.
We were nearly at Vermilion City and could see its Pokemon Center. Green said,
"Red what should we do first? Fight the Gym leader or go on the S.S. Anne?"
I looked over at her and said,
"One of us can fight the gym first then we'll go on the ship while the gym leader heals so we can fight again."
"Ok."
Green said and lightly punched me on the shoulder.
"Hey Red that couple fighting was kinda cute. We've been fighting all day long also. But were not a couple good thing. You would be worse then that guy!"
She said with a smirk on her face. I looked over at Green and this was the first time I had blushed in a long time. Her brown hair was blowing from the wind glaring by the sunlight. The sunlight made her eyes sparkle and shine bright blue. It lit her face up showing her complexion. She looked beautiful.
"Red are you blushing?"
I turned my head away and said,
"I'm sorry you just look pretty in the sunlight."
Green smiled and said,
"Aww thanks Red. Now lets get going before you pull out a ring."
I smiled and we continued walking finally arriving in Vermilion City.
Vermilion City had a few houses all with orange roofs but one house had a purple roof with bushels outside and a sign. The sign read,
"Pokemon Fan Club. All trainers welcome."
We walked inside and there were a few people sitting down with pokemon in there laps. Over at the table was a man who looked like the owner. We approached him and he spoke up and said,
"I am the chairman of the Fan Club. I've raised more then a hundred pokemon. Did you come here to hear about my pokemon?"
Green and I looked confused and I said,
"We were just stopping by but sure you can tell us about them."
The man nodded and said,
"My favorite is Rapidash. Its cute, lovely, smart, and amazing. Don't you think so?"
Before we could answer he spoke up again and said,
"Oops look at the time I got to get back to work. Here take these. There bike vouchers. The next time your in Cerulean City stop at the bike shop and get a free bike courtesy of me."
Green and I happily accepted the vouchers and left the Fan Club. We went to the pokemon center and healed our pokemon. After leaving the Pokemon Center we went to the gym to fight the leader.
"I'll fight him first Red."
Green said. I nodded and we headed inside.
The gym had electric circuits powering it from the inside and an electric barrier that was used as the battlefield. Green stepped onto the barrier and a man appeared and said,
"Hey kid! What do you think your doing here? You wont live long in combat! Not with your puny power! I tell you kid, electric pokemon saved me during the war! They zapped my enemies into paralysis! The same as I'll do to you!"
Green didn't seem intimidated and held her ground. She released her first pokemon.
"Go Spearow."
The man spoke up again with a grin and said,
"I hate hurting the cute girl trainers. My names Lt. Surge. Go Voltorb."
I gave Lt. Surge a cold stare and Green noticed I was looking angrily at Lt. Surge and she giggled and I blushed and turned my head again looking away.
"Voltorb use shock wave."
Voltorb zapped Spearow to a crisp it knocked it out cold.
"Spearow return. Go Psyduck."
Psyduck came out hopping up and down. I don't know if it was confused or what but it seemed ready to battle.
"Psyduck use confusion."
Psyduck hit Voltorb and Surge countered back by saying,
"Voltorb use sonic boom!"
Several sound waves jolted from the air and knocked Psyduck back.
"Psyduck use confusion again."
"Voltorb use shockwave."
Confusion hit Voltorb and it had confused him. Voltorbs shockwave missed and he ended up hitting himself.
"Alright Psyduck now use head butt."
Voltorb was spinning around and wasn't able to focus on his trainers commands as Psyduck came in and rammed him in the head knocking him out.
"Voltorb return. Go Pikachu."
A yellow mouse pokemon with red cheeks similar to Pichu appeared. The pokedex said Pikachu was the evolve form of Pichu.
"Psyduck use water gun."
"Pikachu use thundershock."
Pikachus thundershock immediately hit Psyduck before the water even got close zapping it into a crisp knocking it out.
"Ok Psyduck return. Go Butterfree."
Butterfree came out and flapped its wings.
"Pikachu use quick attack."
Pikachu darted forward to hit Butterfree but Green had other ideas.
"Butterfree use sleep powder."
The sleep powder hit Pikachu while it was in the air putting it to sleep.
"Ok Butterfree use Confusion."
The Confusion sent Pikachu flying back waking it up in the process.
"Now Butterfree use wing attack."
"Pikachu use thundershock."
Wing attack knocked Pikachu back some but the thundershock zapped Butterfree unconscious.
"Butterfree return. Go Clefairy."
Clefairy appeared readily and determined.
"Ok Pikachu use quick attack."
"Clefairy use metronome."
Pikachu ran forward to ram into Clefairy when it was hit by what looked like a muddy water gun. It seemed to had taken a major toll on Pikachu cause it was panting about to fall over.
"Ok Clefairy one more time use metronome."
"Pikachu use quick attack one more time."
Clefairy wiggled its finger once more then its head glowed and it ran towards Pikachu. They collided and knocked each other out.
"Clefairy return. Go Pichu."
Green pointed to the battlefield and Pichu hopped down and sparked its cheeks.
"I'm on my last pokemon but its far from over. Go Raichu."
Raichu was a large brownish yellow pokemon. The pokedex said it was the evolve form of Pikachu by a thunderstone.
"Pichu use thundershock."
"Raichu use thundershock."
Both pokemon zapped one another but Raichus thundershock was far stronger.
"Now Raichu use quick attack."
"Pichu use volt tackle."
Raichu ran forward and rammed Pichu before it could hit the volt tackle knocking it out quickly.
"Pichu return. Go Ivysaur."
Green was down to her final pokemon also.
"Raichu use thundershock."
"Ivysaur use razor leaf."
Ivysaur was zapped but it did its razor leaf knocking Raichu back.
"Raichu use quick attack."
Green smiled and I wondered what she was thinking when she said,
"Ivysaur use stun spore."
I didn't know Ivysaur even knew that move but it proved me wrong when Ivysaur stunned Raichu in place paralyzing him.
"Now Ivysaur use vine whip."
Ivysaur grabbed Raichu with its vines and jumped into the air with it then threw it down knocking it out. Lt. Surge looked shocked to see Raichu faint so easily and said,
"Now that's a shocker! You're the real deal kid. Here is the Thunder Badge!"
Green happily accepted the badge and we told Lt. Surge we would be back so I could battle him for the badge as well he nodded and we left the gym.
"Congratulations on the victory Green."
"Thanks Red. Now lets go to the S.S. Anne."
We walked down the pier to the ship bay and showed the man our tickets. He nodded and we walked on board of the S.S. Anne. The ship was rather large. It had a bunch of rooms for passengers and stairs leading up to the deck and down to the captains quarters. The guide for the ship lead us to our room on board and we followed. Our room had two large beds. A pokemon station to heal our pokemon at and a Jacuzzi. Greens eyes sparkled at the Jacuzzi and she ran over to it.
"Red look a Jacuzzi! I'm gonna go change and get in. Don't faint now when I come back in a bikini."
Green said smiling. I just nodded and she walked into the bathroom to change. I went to the station and healed my pokemon. She finally stepped out of the bathroom and walked over towards me and the Jacuzzi. Her bikini was bright pink with yellow flowers on it. It was a two piece with a matching bottom. I blushed once more staring at her small pink bikini and how revealing it was and she threw a towel at me.
"Don't look you pervert!"
She said and hopped in the Jacuzzi to relax. I went into the bathroom and changed into my bathing suit. I had dark blue swimming shorts. Green noticed my shorts were shorter then normal cause they were an older pair I had grown out of and lightly blushed seeing as I was almost revealing something I shouldn't be. Then tried to hide her bright red face but was failing.
"Now who's the pervert?"
I said smirking and got in the Jacuzzi with her. After about an hour I decided to get out for a little and see what else was on the ship. I told Green I was gonna take a walk around the ship. She nodded and said she was gonna soak in the Jacuzzi some more. After changing back into my regular clothes I left the room and headed to see what else the ship had. It had a large diner full of all kinds of assorted sodas, chips, snacks, and other junk food. I grabbed as much as I could carry and after engulfing it all at once I had some left and decided to take it back to the room and laid it on the table for Green cause she was probably starving. She smiled and picked up a soda. Then I left before she could say anything and headed further down into the ship.
Just then I noticed a familiar face. It was Blue who said,
"Well look who decided to see the maiden voyage. Little Red Riding hood. I thought you was afraid of water."
"Nice to see you to Blue."
"Red I was about to leave the ship and head on towards the next city but since you're here how about a battle."
"Sure Blue."
Blue held out his first poke ball.
"Go Eevee."
Eevee popped out.
"Alright, Go Mankey."
Mankey fist pumped the air and then stared at its opponent.
"Eevee use tackle."
"Mankey use fury swipes."
Eevees tackle rammed Mankey down before he could connect the fury swipes.
"Now Eevee use bite."
"Mankey use karate chop."
Eevee went to bite down on Mankey but his karate chop nailed it in the head knocking it back.
"Eevee use quick attack."
Eevee darted forward attempting to ram Mankey but Mankey rolled out of the way.
"Mankey use seismic toss."
Mankey grabbed Eevee up and jumped into the air then threw it onto the ground knocking it out.
"Eevee return. Go Growlithe."
A orange and white dog like pokemon appeared. The pokedex said it was a fire type.
"Growlithe use ember."
Growlithe burned Mankey and Mankey held itself in pain.
"Now Growlithe use takedown."
Growlithe ran forward and rammed Mankey knocking him out cold.
"Mankey return, Go Pidgeotto."
"Growlithe use ember again."
"Pidgeotto use quick attack."
Pidgeotto ran forward in hopes of hitting Growlithe but the ember knocked it back and burned it just like it had done Mankey.
"Now use takedown."
Growlithe ran forward and hit Pidgeotto knocking him out like Mankey before him.
"Alright, Pidgeotto return. Go Poliwhirl."
Poliwhirl raised up its fist at Growlithe and was ready for a fight.
"Growlithe use ember."
"Poliwhirl use water gun."
Growlithe shot flames towards Poliwhirl but it was no match as the pressure of the water pushed Growlithe backwards knocking him out.
"Growlithe return. Go Weepinbell."
My pokedex said Weepinbell was the evolve form of Bellsprout.
"Ok, Poliwhirl use bubble beam."
"Weepinbell use vine whip."
Bubbles hit Weepinbell hard knocking it back some but the vine whip crashed down knocking Poliwhirl backwards.
"Ok Poliwhirl use body slam."
"Weepinbell use wrap."
Before Weepinbell could wrap its vines around Poliwhirl Poliwhirl had slammed hard into Weepinbell knocking him back.
"Weepinbell use vine whip again."
Before I could even command Poliwhirl the vines knocked him out.
"Poliwhirl return. Go Geodude."
Geodude was ready to fight.
"Geodude use rock tomb."
The rocks fell out from the sky but before they could hit Weepinbell it moved out of the way to avoid them.
"Weepinbell use vine whip again."
vines crashed down and knocked Geodude out cold in one hit.
"Ok, Geodude return. Go Charmander."
Charmander let off a small roar and readied to battle.
"Weepinbell use wrap."
"Charmander use ember."
Ember engulfed Weepinbell and knocked it out in one attack.
"Grr, return Weepinbell. Go Wartortle."
Wartortle looked like it could run right threw me.
"Charmander use metal claw."
"Wartortle use tackle."
Wartortle tackled Charmander down then Charmander hit the metal claw knocking him back a bit.
"Ok Charmander now use scratch."
Charmander scratched Wartortle on the head knocking it down for a moment then it got back up.
"Wartortle use water gun."
The water crashed down on Charmander knocking him down onto the floor. Charmander seemed like he was out when his appearance changed. He was now dark red. I checked my pokedex and it said Charmander had evolved into Charmeleon. And it had learned two new moves.
"Well what do you know? About time it evolved. I thought it had finally died or something. Oh well. Wartortle use water gun again."
"Charmeleon dodge it and use metal claw."
Charmeleon did as I asked and dodged the water then followed up with a metal claw.
"Grrrrrr!, Wartortle use tackle."
Wartortle ran forward to ram Charmeleon when I said,
"Charmeleon use ember."
The flames were much larger now that he had evolved and it caused Wartortle to be knocked down onto the ground.
"Now Charmeleon use slash."
Charmeleons nails glowed bright white and he slashed Wartortle in the face knocking it out.
"Well I guess you snooze you loose! Smell ya later Red."
Blue said then stormed off.
I went back into mine and Greens room and Green had already gotten out of the Jacuzzi and was already dressed. She spoke and said, "Finish exploring?"
"Yep, I ran into Blue and we battled. I won and Charmander evolved into Charmeleon."
"That's great Red! Oh, and you seemed to like my bikini a lot you almost fell into the Jacuzzi earlier when you saw it."
She said giggling. My face turned solid red and I said,
"Yeah it looked very pretty on you."
Green blushed slightly and smiled then said,
"Aw, thanks Red. Ready to go fight for your Gym Badge?"
"Yep lets go."
After exiting the ship we noticed it left. The man we had showed our tickets to told us that the ship wouldn't be returning for a year. Green seemed sad by that and after heading to the pokemon center and healing our pokemon we went back into the gym for me to challenge Lt. Surge.
Lt. Surge was already at the battlefield waiting and said,
"Ah, I have been waiting for your return. You wish to challenge me for the Thunder Badge as well."
I nodded and we lined up on the battlefield. Lt. Surge held out his first pokemon and same as before he had started off with Voltorb.
"Go Voltorb!"
He said while laughing hysterically. Since I didn't use Butterfree against Blue I decided to use him for this fight.
"Go Butterfree."
"Go Red!"
I heard Green shout from afar watching the battle. I smiled and said thanks.
"Ok we'll start. Voltorb use sonic boom."
The sonic boom hit Butterfree hard but he got back up.
"Ok Butterfree use confusion."
Butterfrees confusion hit Voltorb knocking it down some but it got back up also.
"Voltorb use screech."
"Butterfree use sleep powder."
Voltorb screeched hard knocking down Butterfrees defense some but then it fell asleep from the powder.
"Ok Butterfree use absorb."
Butterfree absorbed some health from Voltorb and gave it back to himself. Voltorb woke up and Lt. Surge said,
"Voltorb use shock wave!"
The shock wave came from the sky and it jolted Butterfree knocking him out.
"Butterfree return. Go Charmeleon."
Charmeleon let out a flaming roar then stared at Voltorb.
"Ok, Voltorb use shock wave again."
"Charmeleon use fire blast."
Charmeleons mouth turned into one giant fire attack and it released it in an x shape igniting Voltorb on fire knocking him out.
"Ugh, Voltorb return. Go Pikachu."
I decided to save Charmeleon for later and returned him.
"Go Poliwhirl."
Poliwhirl readied to fight.
"Poliwhirl use slam."
"Pikachu use quick attack."
Pikachus quick attack hit first but Poliwhirl was stronger and knocked it back.
"Pikachu use double team."
"Poliwhirl use bubble beam."
Pikachus double team had made copies of itself and Poliwhirl didn't know who was the real one so its bubble beam missed completely.
"Ok Pikachu now use thundershock."
Pikachus body sparked and released a powerful electric attack knocking Poliwhirl out.
"Poliwhirl return. Go Geodude."
Geodude was ready to fight.
"Pikachu use thundershock."
The move had no effect on Geodude.
"Geodude use rock tomb."
Large rocks fell from the sky and crushed Pikachu knocking him out.
"Urggh. Pikachu return. This battle is far from over Red. Go Raichu!"
Raichu sparked its cheeks and was ready for a good fight.
"Ok Raichu use double team."
Raichu made copies of itself.
"Geodude use rock tomb again."
The rock tomb missed Raichu and hit one of the copies.
"Now Raichu use slam."
Raichu slammed into Geodude and knocked him out. Normally a normal type move wouldn't do much at all to Geodude but Surge's Raichu was no ordinary Raichu. "Geodude return. Go Mankey."
"Raichu use thundershock."
"Mankey use karate chop."
Mankeys karate chop hit Raichu but it didn't seem like it did much and Raichu retaliated with the thundershock knocking Mankey back.
"Mankey use seismic toss."
Mankey tossed Raichu into the air then slammed him but it still didn't do much to the Raichu.
"Raichu use shock wave."
Raichu let out thunder from the sky and it struck Mankey zapping him onto the ground and knocking him out unconscious.
"Mankey return. Go Pidgeotto."
Lt. Surge laughed at the bird pokemon knowing electric types were super effective to them. I commanded Pidgeotto to attack.
"Pidgeotto use quick attack."
Pidgeotto swiftly flew forward and knocked Raichu back. Surge stopped laughing and commanded Raichu to attack again,
"Raichu use thundershock."
"Pidgeotto use wing attack."
Pidgeotto flapped its wings and hit the wing attack but it didn't do much damage as the thundershock struck down on him knocking him out.
"Pidgeotto return. Alright lets win this, Go Charmeleon."
Charmeleon had a determined look in his eye just like I did and faced the Raichu.
"Charmeleon use metal claw."
"Raichu use quick attack."
Charmeleons nails glowed silver and he struck Raichu knocking him back then Raichu hit the quick attack knocking Charmeleon backwards but he landed on his feet. "Ok Raichu and again, use quick attack."
Raichu ran forward and was about to attack Charmeleon again when I said,
"Charmeleon use fire blast."
Charmeleons mouth let out a powerful fire attack again and it knocked Raichu down onto its back.
"Ok Charmeleon now use metal claw again."
Charmeleon ran forward to strike Raichu when Surge said,
"Two can play your game. Raichu use shockwave."
Lightning fell from the sky and struck Charmeleon knocking him down.
"Now Raichu use double team."
Raichu made copies of itself once more. Charmeleon got back on his feet and I said,
"Charmeleon spin in a circle using ember."
Charmeleon did as I said and the ember hit Raichu releasing the copies back into just the Raichu.
"Grr, Raichu use quick attack."
Before I could command Charmeleon to attack Raichu knocked him back down again with the quick attack. Charmeleon got back up on his feet again.
"Why wont it stay down? Ok Raichu don't hold back! Use your thundershock at full power!"
"Charmeleon use Fire blast. Full power."
Raichus body glowed bright yellow and it let out a devastating thundershock Charmeleons directions and at the same time Charmeleons mouth was filled with a large fireball and it let out a massive fire blast at Raichu. Both pokemon flew backwards and rammed into the opposing walls. Smoke covered the battlefield and after it died down we could see both pokemon were still at the walls. After a few moments they both tried getting to there feet. Raichu could not and collapsed over but Charmeleon had gotten back onto its feet and was panting. He had won the fight. Lt. Surge smiled and walked over to Red.
"Impressive Red. Never in all my years as a Gym Leader has anyone knocked Raichu out the way you just did. You have truly earned this. Here is your Thunder Badge."
I happily accepted the badge and Green and I left the gym.
"Impressive battling Red. I thought you was gonna lose but you did it."
"Thanks Green."
It was nighttime now and the sky was starting to darken. We headed into the Pokemon Center to rest from our travels today. We healed our pokemon and went back into the room to spend the night.
After we sat our stuff down Green looked at me and said,
"Red where should we head to next?"
"Lets head back to Cerulean to get us those bicycles."
"Alright. Then where?"
The news came on the TV at that time and it said,
"Lavender town is home to the Pokemon Tower where dead pokemon are put to be remembered."
"I guess that answers your question. And Lavender Town may have a gym."
Green yawned and said,
"I don't like dead things though Red."
Then she laid down on the bed to rest. I was tired also so I laid down on the other bed. Green turned to face my direction lightly speaking and said,
"Red do you really think I am pretty? No one's ever said I was before"
I turned her direction and said,
"Yes Green. You are very pretty."
She smiled and said,
"Goodnight Red."
"Goodnight Green."
"Try to wake up early tomorrow so we can get some food."
I was shocked to hear Green say that and said,
"I'll try but no promises. If I wake up late I might have to get water and toast."
She smiled then threw a pillow at me and then snuggled up to Pichu and went to sleep. I turned to my poke balls and picked them up and spoke softly where Green couldn't hear.
"Thanks guys. We went threw a lot today but in the end we beat Blue and won the Thunder Badge. I couldn't of done it without you guys."
I sat them back down and placed my head my pillow. Before I knew it I was sound asleep.
