Notes: I decided to divide Celadon City into 2 parts otherwise it would of been a really long chapter. So here is the first half Enjoy!
Chapter 9: What happens when…
More blood. The blood ran down the edges of my fingers past the fingernail and dripped from the doorknob I had grasped onto the very floor itself missing my feet but splashing onto my legs. After turning the doorknob I tried to push the door open but it wouldn't budge. I kept pushing and pushing and pushing. No luck. I was exhausted and lied with my back pressed near the door when it suddenly cracked opened on its own. "Red! Come inside! Red! Come into your mothers room! Red!" The voices still gave me the shivers. The coldness of there mumbled words ran shivers down my spine. How did this voice even know my name? I stood in place shaking. I got back onto my feet and lightly pushed the door open. The room was dark as well and I couldn't see a thing. Just then lightning struck the ground and out of the flash of light I could see there was a figure in the very far corner of my mothers room but I couldn't make out what it was. I crept slowly towards it when I saw its eyes open. They were glowing bright dark red. The same color as the blood. Suddenly the floor started to shake and before I knew it I fell threw the very floor itself.
I woke up shaking in place.
"I guess that was another dream. These dreams are getting stranger every night."
I thought to myself. I turned and saw Green was no longer cuddled up next to me but rather had her arms and legs wrapped around her pikachu.
"Whew, at least I didn't wake her up."
I turned over with my back facing Green and fell back asleep in a matter of moments.
"Red do we have to go threw this everyday! Wake up you lazy idiot!"
Green was doing her usual routine of throwing things at me with Pikachu jumping on my stomach trying to wake me up.
"I wanna get to Celadon City as quickly as possible so I can do the most shopping I can!"
Green said shouting at me.
"I'm awake Green. Lets go."
We healed our pokemon since we were already inside the pokemon center then left headed for Route 8.
The sky by now had risen up high and was shining bright and the birds were chirping as normal routine.
"So no breakfast today? The people in the mall arent gonna think your fat if you eat a little you know."
Green elbowed me in the ribs hard knocking me back a bit. I felt like I was gonna cough up blood and she spoke up and said,
"Is all you think about your stomach? Don't you not care that I wanna get to Celadon City?"
I looked at Green and nodded. I was kind of hungry but seeing her about to cry made me lose my appetite.
"Green please don't cry I am sorry. We can eat when we get there."
Green smiled knowing she had won the slight argument. We continued walking and were stopped by two trainers who wanted to fight.
"We challenge thy to a clash of pokemon."
They spoke in tone. Green readied her poke ball and released her pokemon.
"Go Spearow."
Her bird type pokemon flew up into the air and soared down raring for a good battle.
"Go Pidgeotto."
I threw out my bird pokemon as well and it flew beside Spearow ready for battle. The trainers then threw out there pokemon.
"Go Growlithe."
"Go Beedrill."
The Growlithe and Bedrill readied for a fight as well.
"Spearow lets hurry this up. Use peck."
"Pidgeotto use your quick attack."
The trainers said there commands,
"Growlithe flamethrower."
"Beedrill use fury attack."
Spearow ran at Growlithe to peck him but the flamethrower scorched him backwards. Pidgeottos quick attack nailed Beedrill hard on the ground before it could even do the fury attack.
"Alright Growlithe use your bite attack."
"Beedrill use poison sting."
The trainers commanded and there pokemon ran to do what they had said.
"Spearow use wing attack to knock them back."
"Pidgeotto you use wing attack also."
Both bird pokemon flapped there wings and knocked the other two trainers pokemon back away from them.
"Now quick attack."
Green and I said in unison. Before the other trainers could even command there pokemon our birds struck both Growlithe and Beedrill knocking them out. Green and I headed further down route 8.
"Red at the rate were going we don't even be in Celadon by next week! Lets use our bikes."
Before I could even say a word to reply a tire ran over my foot followed by a second.
"Race ya!"
After grabbed my foot from the sudden attack on them I said,
"Ouch!"
and I screamed in pain. I grabbed my bike and got on to follow after Green. I didn't know she could ride so well cause she was pedaling at a great speed and managed to clearly beat me to the underground entrance. I had to stop a few times to catch my breath and eventually I just ended up walking. I wasn't used to riding bikes at all yet.
"Haha I won."
She said smirking.
"Well you did run over my foot. I am surprised I was able to get her on my own."
I said smirking at what she had said. Green just smiled ignoring what I said.
"Lets go Red. After we get threw this underground entrance we will be in Celadon City."
The underground entrance looked shorter then the last one but maybe that was because I wasn't carrying Green this time. I was wrong it was just as long as the last one. After walking for a bit I decided to talk some to pass by time and make getting to Celadon seem quicker.
"Green I didn't wake you this morning did I"
Green seemed puzzled and said,
"No what were you doing this morning? Were you touching me?!"
"No no. I woke up from another dream in the middle of the night."
"What happened this time."
She didn't seem that amused to hear but still sounded like she was somewhat interested so I told her.
"The doorknob was dripping with blood and I tried to push it open but it wouldn't budge. So I leaned against it for a few minutes and it suddenly cracked open on its on. I went inside and saw a figure in the far corner its eyes opened and then the floor cracked apart and I fell threw."
"Your dreams are getting strange. Mine are nothing like yours at all."
"Really what are yours about?"
"Well there about romantic things like sunsets and waterfalls and holding hands and kissing. I had the kissing dream last night."
I looked over at Green who was lightly blushing. Was the kissing dream because of what happened last night? Was the dream of me?
"Wa-"
I started to speak but was interrupted by Green.
"So Red are we going to the mall the moment we get to Celadon or do you wanna stuff that bottomless pit of yours?"
I looked around like I wasn't sure which was the answer but I clearly knew what I wanted to say even though I was acting like I didn't.
"Hmm, well its such a hard choice but I guess I'm gonna have to go with the stuffing my bottomless pit."
Green pushed me on the shoulder and said,
"I figured. Well alright but its to late for breakfast now. We will have to get lunch or something. But don't eat all day! I do have shopping to do you know!"
I nodded and we walked further along till finally we had reached the exit of the underground entrance.
That put us on route 7 but it was really short and it only took a few minutes to cross and we had finally arrived in Celadon. Celadon City was pretty huge in size. There was a pokemon center and a gambling casino, the diner for people to eat at, the huge shopping mall, a place where hotels could be rented for the night, and the gym leaders gym.
"Wow! Its even prettier then the pictures I saw as a kid!"
Green was shouting excitedly. I didn't know Green had saw pictures of this city as a kid but I didn't bother to ask. Green figured that I would bug her the whole time she was shopping if I didn't have anything to eat so we went to the diner first. Inside the diner were several man in fishing attires who were more concentrated on there meals then our existence. We sat down at a booth and soon a waiter came to our table.
"How may I help you?"
She asked. Green didn't even pick up a menu cause she was to excited to go shopping then eat so I spoke up,
"Bring us both some fried chicken."
The waiter heard my order and wrote it down then left. Green looked up at me with a mad look on her face and said,
"Why did you order for me? I don't want anything to eat!"
I spoke up and said,
"Because you need something to eat even if you don't want to. It'll give you the energy to do all your shopping you wanna do and challenge the gym leader here."
Green just sat in place with her hands crossed around her waist like she was mad at me. The waiter handed us our food and I started eating mine. After a few minutes Green finally decided she wanted some of it and ate hers as well. We payed the woman and left the diner.
"Alright so now that you stuffed your gut can we please go shopping?!"
Green was jumping up and down practically begging.
"Sure lets go."
"YAY!"
Green grabbed my hand and pulled me to the huge shopping mall.
There looked like there were a million floors it even had an elevator. The first floor was the entrance so there wasn't anyting to buy on it. Green still had a hold of my arm pulling me along. My arm felt like it was gonna fall off at any moment. The second floor had several things that caught Greens eye.
"Red look! Lip gloss! And fingernail polish! And eye liner! And all kinds of makeup!"
I just sighed and watched as she picked up each one studying it and trying it on then went back to the first one she had saw to purchase followed by everything else she didn't need. She pulled on my arm and dragged me up another floor. This floor though was more reasonable. It had various evolution stones for evolving pokemon, poke balls, potions and stuff that would be useful.
"I am gonna buy this water stone Green."
I spoke to her. I had read one day in the pokemon center that water stones can evolve pokemon and it said Poliwhirl evolved from one.
"Okay cool, I will buy a thunderstone for my cutie pikachu."
Pikachu clapped happily seeing her trainers smile about her. The fourth floor was the clothing section where all kinds of clothing was.
"Red I'm gonna try on some dresses and stuff!"
Green took off looking at all the dresses and picking some of them up. I assume she was only after the ones that were cute cause the dresses she had in her hands were all girly colors. Green walked into a fitting room and came out wearing a light yellow dress.
"What'd do you think?"
She asked me. It didn't look bad on her but it didn't look that good either.
"It looks alright I guess."
She seemed like she was gonna kill me with that remark and went back into the room. She came back out wearing a bright red dress. It looked horrible. It didn't seem to fit very well and she didn't look like she was that comfortable in it.
"How about this one Red?"
She asked me. I looked down for a moment and said,
"Um… That one is worse."
Her face turned red from rage and she ran back in the room to try on another dress. She walked back out again and this time her dress was light pink. It came down and barely covered her bottom and looked like it was really comfortable on her. I blushed and Green smiled knowing I like it.
"Like this one huh? Is it cause it almost shows off my ass? Hehe."
She smirked and went back in the dressing room. She came back out with her regular clothes on.
"I think I'm gonna buy them all. I'm not getting the pink one cause you liked it!"
She said pointing a finger at me. She payed for her dresses and we went up to the next floor. This floor had soda machines on it. I purchased a lemonade for myself and bought Green a bottle of water.
"Cheapskate! Too cheap to buy me a soda!"
She said appearing mad then smiled.
"Uh sorry. You usually get water so I just assumed…"
"I know I'm just messin with you. Lets go to the next floor."
The next floor lead to the roof.
"Whew, man I'm beat. Lets go back down and leave if you want."
Green nodded at what I said and we walked down the stairs back onto the soda machine floor. We decided to use the elevators instead of walking down each floor. While we were sitting in the elevators waiting for them to go down I spoke up trying to start a conversation,
"So uh, did you get everything you wanted."
Green looked down at what she had and said,
"Well I couldn't find any cute little panties but yeah I think I got about everything."
I blushed hearing the word panties.
"Red stop blushing! Don't be thinking about me in panties you pervert!"
She said smacking me on the face. The elevator reached the bottom floor and the doors opened. Green seemed like she was disgusted and walked out of the elevator and I followed behind her. We left the mall and went to the pokemon center.
"Lets heal our pokemon so we can fight the gym leader Green."
"Ok sure. I am ready to win that badge!"
She said raising her arm in the air. I just shook my head and we handed the nurse our pokemon. While waiting for them to be healed Green turned to me and said, "Red I wonder what kinda pokemon the gym leader uses?"
"Hmm I don't know Green."
We both sit there thinking when the nurse walked up to us.
"Here y'all go. Fully healed."
Green and I accepted our pokemon back from the nurse. Before we left the pokemon center I pointed at the pc system reminding Green of her dare she had to do. She withdrew her Gastly and then left the pokemon center.
"Lets go fight the gym leader. Who's gonna fight first?"
I replied with,
"I will. You can observe her pokemon to help you battle better."
I said chuckling a little. Green put her hand into a fist and punched me in the stomach.
"I am a better battler then you! If you wanna go first fine! It wont matter to me! Besides I don't wanna have to use that ugly Gastly till I absolutely have to."
I gasped for air. Green was either getting stronger from all the abuse she did to me everyday or I was getting weaker.
We arrived and walked in the gym. The gym was full of flowers and all sorts of sparkly items to make it look colorful and pretty. There were bushes of leaves around the gym that connected into the form of a heart and in the center of the heart was a battlefield.
"Aww how cute. Red go easy on this gym leader."
Green said nudging at me. I walked up and approached the battlefield. A woman appeared from behind the bushes and stood before me and said,
"Hello, Lovely weather isn't it? Its so pleasant….. Oh, dear…. I must have dozed off. My name is Erika. I am the leader of the Celadon Gym. I am a student of the art and love flower arranging. My pokemon are solely of the grass type. Oh, I'm sorry I had no idea you wished to challenge me. Very well but I will not lose."
Green looked over at me and shook her hand saying,
"Never mind Red. Don't hold back."
"Why the sudden change in opinion."
I asked her. She replied with,
"Well I didn't know it was gonna be a woman Gym leader!"
Erika held out her first pokemon and in a flash released it,
"Go Victreebell."
I held out my pokedex and it said Victreebell was a grass type just like she had said.
"Alright go Mankey."
Mankey appeared ready for battle.
"Mankey use karate chop."
Mankey charged forward ready to chop Victreebell into pieces.
"Victreebell use stun spore."
The stun spore hit Mankey which caused him to stop in his tracks completely.
"Stun spore paralyzed your pokemon it may not attack now. Now Victreebell use giga drain."
"Mankey dodge it and use seismic toss."
Mankeys body was paralyzed but he managed to move towards Victreebell. Victreebell absorbed some of Mankeys health but then he launched it into the air and then crashed it back down onto the ground.
"Now Mankey use arm thrust."
Mankey charged forward to hit it but its paralyzed state it was in prevented its movement.
"Still too weak is it? Too bad. Victreebell use acid."
Victreebell shot out poisonous acid at Mankey knocking him down. Mankey appeared unconscious when his body started glowing. After a flash of light he had evolved. My pokedex said he was now Primeape.
"Awesome Mankey you evolved. Alright Primeape use seismic toss once more."
Primeape was much stronger then Mankey and was able to overcome some of the paralyze throwing Victreebell into the air then onto the ground knocking it out. "Fine. Victreebell return. Go Tangela."
Tangela looked like a bush but it was blue and its face was covered from pitch black darkness.
"Use giga drain."
The move zapped health from Primeape knocking it unconscious.
"Primeape return. Go Geodude."
"Tangela use giga drain again."
Before Geodude could even react it had its health zapped from it and since it was a grass type move it knocked Geodude out in one attack.
"Geodude return go Poliwhirl. Use body slam."
Poliwhirl appeared and charged at Tangela knocking it back.
"Tangela use ingrain."
Tangela shot a vine into the ground and that appeared to be it when it suddenly healed itself with the root.
"Poliwhirl use water gun."
Poliwhirl shot water at Tangela knocking it back a little.
"Tangela use giga drain."
Tangela zapped health from Poliwhirl and like before the move knocked it out.
"Poliwhirl return. Go Butterfree."
Butterfree appeared ready for battle.
"Butterfree use sleep powder."
Before Tangela could do anything Butterfree had put it to sleep with its powder.
"Now use gust."
Butterfree flapped its wings and launched a powerful gust attack at the pokemon knocking it out.
"Tangela return. Go Vileplume."
Vileplume was ready for battle.
"Ok Butterfree use gust again."
"Vileplume use sleep powder."
While Butterfree was flapping its wings for the gust Vileplumes sleep powder put it to sleep.
"Now Vileplume use acid."
Poisonous acid balls launched at Butterfree and before I knew it Butterfree had been knocked out unconscious.
"Butterfree return. Go Pidgeotto."
Pidgeotto flew into the air ready for battle.
"Vileplume use giga drain."
"Pidgeotto use wing attack."
Vileplume zapped health from Pidgeotto but then was struck by the wing attack knocking it back hard.
"Use acid, Vileplume."
Vileplume struck the balls of acid at Pidgeotto poisoning him.
"Pidgeotto use quick attack."
Pidgeotto flew towards Vileplume at a fast speed but Erika had other ideas.
"Vileplume use sleep powder."
Vileplume put Pidgeotto to sleep right before it hit her.
"Now use acid again."
Vileplume shot out more acid at Pidgeotto and combined with the poisoning it was enough to knock it out.
"Alright, Pidgeotto return. Its all up to you. Go Charmeleon."
Charmeleon let out a flame attack in the air and was ready to battle.
"This will be interesting. Were both on our last pokemon. Vileplume use giga drain."
"Charmeleon fire blast."
The giga drain zapped health from Charmeleon but the fire blast scorched Vileplume and sent it flying backwards. It had been knocked out. I had won.
"Oh! I concede defeat. You are remarkably strong. I must confer on you the Rainbow Badge."
I happily accepted the badge and Green walked up to challenge her as well.
"I'll show ya how its done Red."
She said winking at me.
"I'm sorry miss but I need to heal my pokemon after that fight. Come back in a hour or so and we will have a battle."
Green seemed disappointed she couldn't challenge the gym leader right then but she nodded and then we left the gym.
"She was probably afraid to face me."
She said sarcastically. We went back to the pokemon center and I healed my pokemon there then we left.
"So Green what do you wanna do while we wait."
Green looked around for a moment then said,
"Well um, how about we go to the casino to waste some time."
"Well alright. Lets go gamble!"
I shouted with my arm in the air. Green giggled slightly and we walked to the Gambling Casino.
There were several slot machines inside the casino and each one looked like it had the same games on it.
"I'm gonna play some!"
Green said and walked up to a machine. After a few hundred dollars and about 10 minutes of time she finally walked back with a smile on her face.
"Did you win anything?"
I asked her. She looked at me and said,
"Yep."
She was holding a poke ball.
"Wow you won a pokemon what is it?"
Green threw the ball and in a flash of light a light blue pokemon appeared with a snake like body. I took out my pokedex and it said it was called a dratini.
"Its so cute Red. It only costed me 500 dollars. Hehe."
I started to ask if that was a bit to much to pay but was stopped when I noticed something in the far corner. There was a man standing there with a black outfit on with a red 'R' symbol in the center of the vest. A team rocket member.
"Green look that guy is in team rocket."
I said pointing his direction. Green looked and noticed the guy as well. We walked up to the guy and he jumped back seeing us saying,
"What are you brats doing here? You'd better not touch that poster. There is nothing behind it."
He then held out a poke ball but before he could release it to attack pikachu zapped him down on to the floor.
"Curse you. You'll ruin everything. I must tell the boss."
The man pressed a button from behind the poster and a set of stairs appeared and he ran down them.
"Uh what just happened?"
Green asked me. I replied with,
"I have no idea but lets go see what Team Rocket is up to."
We walked down the stairs exiting the Casino.
There was an entire base underground and several rocket members were around the floors. Green and I defeated one after another and proceeded further along in the underground base when suddenly we ran into someone.
"Hey watch where your walking you lousy idiots!"
It was Blue. Apparently he was also curious as to why the rockets had an underground casino base.
"I am down here to get back the money they stole from me running this gambling place!"
Blue shouted.
"Blue calm down. We are here to see what Team Rocket is doing with a base here anyhow. We'll help you."
I said to Blue. Green was shocked I would say such a thing to the guy I considered my rival but just nodded in agreement.
"So the girls still following you around huh? I figured she would of dumped you by now. I guess she's just trash."
Blue said laughing. I put my hand into a fist ready to punch him hard in the face when I looked over at Green. Greens face turned bright red because she was angry at what Blue said about her.
"Red and I are traveling together! He is a great guy unlike you! You ugly jerk! And I am not trash!"
She remarked back at Blue. Blue just started laughing again and said,
"Lets see how 'great' he is. Lets have a battle Red. 3 on 3."
"Alright Blue I accept."
I said.
"Kick his ass Red! Win for what he said about me!"
Green said shouting towards my direction. Blue spoke up and said,
"So your little girlfriend is cheering you on huh? Oh well you still wont win. Go Growlithe."
"I'm not his girlfriend!"
Green shouted back at him lightly blushing. Blue just ignored her reply.
"Go Butterfree."
I said in response. Butterfree and Growlithe readied for battle.
