Douglas's grand adventure chapter two
Douglas and Andrew stood on the hill over looking pallet town for a while. They gave a large 'Sigh' then joined hands and started walking along the path through the forest towards viridian city after everything that had happened the day before they were both excited about there journey they couldn't wait to find out what was out there and to have fun together and to just enjoy each others company. They walked around talking about anything that came to their mind they were closer than ever. As they walked along hand in hand with Andrews head on Douglas's shoulder they heard a rustling in the tall grass to the left of them when they stopped to see what it was a small bird came out from the grass Douglas took out his pokédex and pointed it at the small Pokémon and a voice came from the pokédex and said:
Pidgey
A common sight in forests and woods. It flaps its wings at ground level to kick up blinding sand.
A very docile Pokémon. If attacked, it will often kick up sand to protect itself rather than fight back.
It usually hides in tall grass. Because it dislikes fighting
"Hey cool it's a pidgy" Said Douglas
"Yeah I want to catch it that would be a cool Pokémon to have" Said Andrew
"Well go on then I already have articuno you should catch it" said Douglas
"ok thanks babe OK GO BULBASAUR" said Andrew throwing a poke ball forward and bulbasaur came out "Ok bulbasaur here we go our first battle lets start with a tackle attack" bulbasaur charged forward but the pidgy took to the air and dodged the attach flapping its wings hard it sent a gust of wind straight at bulbasaur and blasted him backwards into a tree "Bulbasaur try a vine whip" with that bulbasaur got up and two vines came from the side of the bulb on his back and went straight towards the pidgy in the air the pidgy tried to dodge but bulbasaur wrapped the vines around its legs and slammed it into the ground.
"Andrew now toss the poke ball" said Douglas
"Ok Go poke ball" shouted Andrew and threw a poke ball at the pidgy the ball hit pidgy and pidgy turned into red light and entered the poke ball the poke ball fell to the ground and wobbled once, twice ,three times and then made a popping sound and pidgy was caught.
"Cool I caught it" said Andrew jumping up and down he then grabbed Douglas into a tight hug and kissed him full on the lips.
"That's great I'm proud of you babe" Said Douglas
"Yeah I can't believe I caught my first Pokémon" replied Andrew
"Yeah I felt the same when I caught my first too" said Douglas
"Bulbasaur you did great too" Said Andrew
After that Andrew picked up the poke ball that contained pidgy and shrunk it and put it in his pocket.
"Dude I can't wait till we get to my house and I can get that belt that holds poke balls" said Andrew
"You mean like the one I'm wearing" said Douglas
"Yeah I bought it last week before that stuff happened with my dad I was planning on contacting professor oak then running away but then that stuff happened with my dad and I wound up going on a journey anyway" said Andrew
"Well we need to stop by and see officer jenny first and see what's happening with your dad and make sure its safe to go to your house and get your stuff" said Douglas
"Ok well let's get moving then" said Andrew
They walked for a while longer enjoying the time that they had to themselves taking in all the beauty of the nature that was around them there were pidgy flying over head and all the trees around them eventually they came to a river when they reached the river they decided to take break as they sat there listening to the river in silence they were both at peace when they heard a noise from further down the river they headed towards where the sound was coming from when they got there they found what looked like a turtle Douglas took out his pokédex and pointed it towards the Pokémon and the voice said: "Squirtle After birth, its back swells and hardens into a shell. The shell is soft when it is born. It soon becomes so resilient; probing fingers will bounce off it. Powerful sprays of foam from its mouth and Shoots water at prey while in the water. It also withdraws into its shell when in danger."
"Cool it's a squirtle" Said Andrew
"But look at it, it looks injured" said Douglas "we better get it to a Pokémon centre and fast"
"But how were still a day or two from viridian city" said Andrew
"Well we will just have to go faster and not stop till we get there" said Douglas with a look of determination on his face.
"Ok but lets go we don't know how seriously injured it is" replied Andrew
With that said Douglas picked up the squirtle they ran back to where they left there things picked up their bags and ran across the bridge over the water and ran as fast as they could towards viridian city they ran for most of the day only slowing down to catch their breath.
"Hey why don't we call ahead using the pokétech that way we could let them know we are on our way" said Andrew
"Hey that's a good idea but I have a better idea let's call professor oak I don't have a number to call viridian city's Pokémon centre" said Douglas
"Ok that's a better idea I'll call him while we walk" said Andrew with that he pulled out his pokétech and dialled the professor's number Tracy answered after the third ring.
"Hello professor oaks lab how may I help you" said Tracy
"Tracy its Andrew we met yesterday" said Andrew
"Oh yeah how's it going" replied Tracy
"Not good we found an injured squirtle in the woods and we are currently hurrying to viridian city to get it some help" said Andrew
"Oh my that's not good" said Tracy "why did you call here"
"Well we thought we should call ahead to let them know we are on the way" said Andrew "but we don't have a number to call"
"Oh right I'll call them and let them know can you tell me how it is injured was it in a battle or was it something else" asked Tracy
"Well it doesn't look like it was in a battle it looks more like it was beaten up" Answered Andrew
"Ok I'll call officer jenny and tell her that you are on you way there how long will it take you to get there" said Tracy
"Ok well give her our pokétech numbers and tell her to call us and we will fill her in" said Andrew
"Ok good luck guys" said Tracy and then they hung up
They kept running for about another hour or so not knowing how long it would take to get there when Andrews pokétech started to ring.
"Hello" said Andrew as he answered the pokétech
"Hello this is officer jenny I was told that you found an injured Pokémon and are currently heading to viridian city to get it some help" said officer jenny
"Yes that's correct we don't know how close we are but we are going as fast as we can" said Andrew panting
"Ok I'm currently heading out to meet up with you I take it you are staying on the path" asked officer jenny
"Yes we are so I take it we will see you soon" answered Andrew
"Yes I'll be going as fast as I can" replied officer jenny
"Ok we will keep our eyes out for you approach" said Andrew
With that they hung up and continued forward they were going for about another half an hour when they saw a police car speeding towards them from the distance they stopped running when they saw it when it stopped they saw officer jenny motion them to get in and they jumped in the back and officer jenny turned the car around and sped down the road. They were going very fast down the road and they reached viridian city in no time at all once they entered the city the Pokémon centre was easily spotted when jenny pulled up outside the boys jumped out of the car and ran inside to nurse joy who was standing at the counter.
"Please you have to help this squirtle" said Douglas in a panic
"Its ok I've been expecting you" said nurse joy said taking squirtle from Douglas's arms
"Is he going to be ok" asked Andrew
"Yes I'm sure he will make a complete recovery" answered nurse joy
"Oh thank goodness when will he wake up" asked Douglas
"He should be awake sometime in the morning" replied nurse joy with a smile "If you would like you could stay here in the Pokémon centre tonight there are some rooms just down that hall"
"Yes thank you" said Douglas
"Officer Jenny would it be possible to talk to you tomorrow about everything" asked Andrew
"Yes that would be fine I'll stop by tomorrow morning to talk to you" said officer jenny
With that officer jenny left and the boys followed nurse joy down the hall to a room with two beds.
"You boys can sleep in here tonight I'll come get you if squirtle wakes up" said nurse joy turning and leaving the room the boys quickly and changed and climbed into one of the bed as soon as the cuddled up to each other they fell asleep. They woke up the next morning completely rested they quickly got up and changed and went to see nurse joy.
"Good morning boys" said nurse joy
"Good morning how is squirtle" asked Andrew
"He's doing fine he should wake up soon if you follow me I'll take you to him" answered nurse joy walking down a hall to a room where squirtle was lying on a bed looking a lot better than he did the night before the boy sat down next to the bed waiting for squirtle to wake up they sat there for about an hour when squirtle started to wake up Douglas walked over to the bed ask put his hand on squirtle's shell.
"Hey there buddy I hope you feeling better" said Douglas squirtle just turned his head slightly to look at him Douglas just stood there with a smile on his face hoping that squirtle would understand that he wasn't going to hurt him.
"I'll go and get nurse joy and tell her that squirtle is awake" said Andrew
"Ok that's a good idea" replied Douglas
"Squirtle you really had us worried for a while there I don't like to see people or Pokémon hurt" said Douglas. Just then nurse joy walked in the room and came over to squirtle's bed and began to check him to see if he was ok.
"Well he seems to be much better than he was last night" said nurse joy
"That's good he had me worried for a while there" said Douglas "I wonder what happened to him though"
"Well these injuries were definitely not from a battle but I can't tell what did it but from what I can tell from my examination is that this squirtle is close to evolving I don't know why anyone would do this to a Pokémon"Said nurse joy
"I know Pokémon have feelings just like us but some people just use them as tools they should be treated as our friends not as tools" Douglas said passionately
What nurse joy and Douglas didn't know was that squirtle was listening to what was being said. Douglas and Andrew went out to the lobby to wait on officer jenny they were sitting there chatting away for about an hour when officer jenny walked in.
"Officer Jenny how are you today" asked Douglas
"I'm doing fine how are you two doing" said officer jenny
"Were good and so is squirtle" said Andrew
"That's good I really wish we could find out who did that" said officer jenny
"Yeah so do we but there is no way to find out" said Douglas
"Yeah that's true it's a pity we can't understand Pokémon" said Andrew
"Well there is no use worrying about things we can't change" said officer jenny
"Yeah your right so what is happening with my father" asked Andrew
"He has been arrested and we won't need to go to trial because when we went to arrest him he was drunk and made a complete confession even though he didn't mean to" said officer jenny laughing
"Yeah he gets that way when he's drunk" said Andrew laughing along with her and Douglas soon followed after they calmed down
"So it's safe to go to my house and get my things" asked Andrew
"Yes it should be he's still sitting in jail but he could post bail soon" said officer jenny
"Ok we'll do it now and we will be quick so that we can be out of there before he gets out" said Douglas
"Yeah that's a good idea I can give you a lift over if you want" said officer jenny
"No that's ok we'll walk it's not that far from here actually" said Andrew
"Yeah I'm going to leave my Pokémon here so that they can rest up" said Douglas
"That's a good idea I'll do the same" said Andrew
"Ok I'll see you boys later" Said officer jenny
With that officer jenny left and the boy left their Pokémon with nurse joy after they left the Pokémon with nurse joy and Douglas asking her not to mention articuno to anyone they left the Pokémon centre and headed to Andrews house to get his things little did they know that they were being followed by squirtle all the way there. Else where and the police station Andrews dad had just posted his bale and was on his way home trying to think of a way to get back at his son for putting him in jail he was out but it wasn't long until he had to appear in court so he didn't have much time to get his revenge. The boys arrived at Andrews's house and went inside to get Andrews things as they were looking around Andrew came to a door in the hall and was standing there looking at it when Douglas walked up and put his arms around his waist.
"What is it babe what's in there" asked Douglas
"I don't know dad always told me not to look in there" answered Andrew
"Well why don't you look now and he won't know" said Douglas
"I don't know something is stopping me from opening the door I think I'm still afraid of what my dad would do if he found out" said Andrew sadly
"Well I don't have that problem so ill take a look" said Douglas
"Ok but be careful I don't know what's in there honey" said Andrew
Douglas walked up to the door and opened it, it was just a closet with almost nothing init there was a small wooded box with a letter on top of it when he lifted it down he noticed that the letter was addressed to Andrew.
"Babe it's a letter and a box the letter is addressed to you" said Douglas handing the letter to Andrew who opened it and the letter read:
Dear Andrew
In this box is a special gift for you I hope that when you are ready to start
Your journey that you will be truly happy I'm sorry I couldn't be there for you
I really wish that I could be I wish I could be there to see you grow up but
It was not meant to be about a month after you were born I was told I had
An illness I'm not going to tell you what it was but you are safe from it I
Hope that you are happy in your life and know that I'm watching over you
You will always be my son.
Your mother
Sandra
"M…m…my mother left this for me" said Andrew with tears in his eyes Douglas put the box to the side and pulled Andrew in to a tight embrace and held him whilst he cried after a few minutes he began to calm down but Douglas still held him giving him comfort.
"Are you going to be ok babe" asked Douglas
"Yeah I never knew my mom my dad never wanted to tell me about her I don't know why I guess it hurt him to much to think about her but I cant believe he never told me about this he should have told me she left this for me I guess that's why he told me not to look in there" said Andrew his anger growing
"Babe don't let this eat you up inside he was the one with the problem not you to be honest I'm surprised that you are the kind hearted person you are being raised by him" said Douglas
"I know but it still makes me angry that he didn't tell me" said Andrew
Just then the front door banged open and Andrews's dad stood their just glaring at them Andrew cowered and Douglas stood in front of him to protect him.
"What are you doing in my house you get me thrown in jail and think you can just waltz in here" said his father
"What do you mean it's his house too or at least it is for now" said Douglas scowling and Andrews's dad
"Yeah right the only reason he was still here was because I would be in trouble if I threw him out" said Andrews's dad
"Well there's nothing you can do now and I won't let you lay a finger on him" said Douglas angrily
"Yeah and what are you going to so about it kid there's nothing you can do to stop me" laughed Andrew's dad
"Oh yeah" said Douglas reaching for his belt "Oh no I left my Pokémon with nurse joy"
Andrews dad laughed and started walking towards them but Douglas refused to move no matter what Andrew kept trying to get him to run but he wouldn't he just stared angrily at Andrews dad willing to do anything to protect the one he loved Andrew's dad was almost at them when a jet of water came from behind them and hit Andrews dad in the chest the boys looked behind them to find squirtle standing there Andrews dad bellowed and ran forward squirtle took a deep breath but in stead of breathing out a powerful jet of water erupted from his mouth and shot straight towards Andrew's dad and again hit him right in the chest and sent him flying backwards into the wall and he slumped to the floor knocked out to say that the boys were speechless was an understatement it took them a few seconds to regain there voices and realize what just happened.
"Dude that was amazing" said Andrew
"Yeah but maybe we should tie him up and contact officer jenny" said Douglas
"Ok ill do that you see to squirtle" said Andrew getting up and going to the back door
"Hey squirtle thanks for the help" said Douglas "So I guess that means you want to come with us then doesn't it"
Squirtle didn't say anything he just ran to Douglas and threw him self into his arms hugging him with everything that he had. While squirtle was hugging Douglas Andrew had tied up his dad and called officer jenny. While they were waiting for officer jenny they continued packing Andrews things with the help of squirtle Andrews dad had woken up and was currently yelling at them from the other room but Andrew paid him no attention and just went on with his packing once they were done they had a seat in the sitting room while they waited on officer jenny they were only sitting for about half an hour when the door went Andrew answered it, it was officer jenny.
"So what happened here" asked officer jenny looking around the room and both the boys went on to explain what happened with Andrews dad and how squirtle came to the rescue it was at that time that Andrew remembered the box that his mother had left him he ran to where it was left and brought it back into the living room when he opened it there was a poke ball but it was blue with an M on it.
"Oh my god that's a master ball" Exclaimed officer jenny
"I wonder where my mom got it" said Andrew
"I don't know but it's a great gift I found one in the woods when I caught articuno" said Douglas before he realized that he had said too much
"You caught and articuno" asked officer jenny Douglas went on to explain how he caught articuno and what had a happened since. After we were done explaining everything that had happened officer jenny handcuffed Andrew's dad and left we followed soon after with Andrews's things each of us carrying one bag and even squirtle was carrying one when we got back to the Pokémon centre nurse joy noticed us with squirtle
"Ahhhh so that's where he went when I went to check on him he was gone" said nurse joy
"Yeah and I'm glad he followed us it seems that he's decided that he is coming with us" Said Douglas
"Well that's good he could use a good trainer" said nurse joy
"Yeah well were just going to spend one more night here then were going to head out" said Douglas
"Ok well here are your Pokémon back then and I was surprised that you caught an articuno I can see that you are going to be a great trainer" said nurse joy handing us back our Pokémon
"Thank you nurse joy" said Andrew
"So squirtle you want to come with us then" said Douglas squirtle didn't say anything well that they could understand anyway but nodded "Ok then well I guess that's settled here is a poke ball"
Squirtle touched the poke ball and turned into red light and went inside it.
"Well now that that has been settled lets get to be its late and it's been a long day" said Andrew
With that they headed down the hall to where they were sleeping last night got changed into their pajamas and snuggled up to each other in the bed and fell asleep during the night Douglas had a strange dream it was all dark but there was a strange pink light in the distance and a voice that said "We will meet soon and I will give you a great gift but there is something missing and you will find it soon never lose the kindness in your heart and you will be great" and then he woke up with a strange feeling that everything would be good. The next morning after waking up both boys started to pack up their gear and head out but they decided after they were packed to stock up on necessary items like potions and other healing items so they stopped off at the local poké-mart to get what they needed then headed out into viridian forest upon entering the woods Douglas got the feeling that something wasn't right he didn't know what it was but he hoped that what ever it was that they could handle it the worry must have shown on his face because Andrew noticed.
"What's wrong babe you look worried" asked Andrew
"Well I don't know something just doesn't feel right" said Douglas
"Yeah I know what you mean I feel it to and I don't know what it is" said Andrew with a worried look on his face
"Well the only thing we can do is press on and handle what ever comes our was and what ever it is we'll face it together as long as I have you I can handle everything" said Douglas with a big smile
Andrew grabbed Douglas into a hug.
"I love you Douglas I don't know when it happened but I do" said Andrew
"I love you too Andrew" said Douglas returning the hug "I hope we will always be together right now I cant bare the thought of losing you I don't know what I would do if something ever happened to you I promise you right now that I will protect you no matter what"
"Thank you I will protect you as well" said Andrew as he lifted his head and kissed Douglas on the cheek
"Well lets get going" said Douglas taking Andrews hand and walking down the path through the woods they were walking for half the day when they heard a noise it sounded like a hi-pitched screech but it sounded like it came from the distance they both stopped.
"What was that sound" asked Andrew
"I don't know but it sounded familiar" said Douglas "It came from that direction"
"Do you think we should take a look" asked Andrew
"Well I don't know why but I feel like we should go and take a look" said Douglas
"Well ok lets go then" said Andrew walking it to the woods with Douglas they were walking for about five minutes before they heard the noise again they kept heading towards where the sound was coming from they looked forwards and could see a clearing ahead as they were heading into the clearing they had to hit the ground because a burst of fire came at them.
"Damn what was that" said Andrew
"I don't know lets look" said Douglas standing up again when they got into the clearing the saw a bird its wings were on fire and it was a beautiful sight Andrew took out his pokédex and pointed it at the bird and the voice said: "Moltres Known as the legendary bird of fire. Every flap of its wings creates a dazzling flash of flames. As it flaps its flaming wings, even the night sky will turn red. This legendary POKEMON scatters embers with every flap of its wings. It is a thrilling sight to behold. Is said to bring early spring to the wintry lands it visits. Both of them just stood there with shocked looks on their face thinking that most people are luck if they ever see one legendary Pokémon but here it was they had seen two and they had only just started their journey when they looked closer they realized that the moltres was really hurt and they didn't know why they tried to approach it but it just shot a flamethrower at them.
"Well it looks like it won't let us get any closer" said Douglas
"What are we going to do we have to help it" said Andrew
"There is only one way we have to catch it" said Douglas
"But how regular poké balls don't work well on legendary Pokémon" said Andrew
"Wait a minute you have that master ball that will work that's how I caught articuno" said Douglas
"You're right here you catch it" said Andrew holding the ball out to Douglas
"No it was a gift from your mom you should do it that way we both have a legendary bird Pokémon" said Douglas
"Ok here it goes" said Andrew turning to face the moltres "MASTER BALL GO" Andrew threw the ball at the moltres it hit and the moltres turned into red light and went inside the ball Andrew just stared at it with a shocked look on his face.
"I…I…I did it" said Andrew in a shocked voice"I can't believe I caught moltres" he grabbed Douglas and gave him a passionate kiss then pulled him into a tight hug he then ran and picked up the ball and put it on his belt.
"Andrew I think we should call the professor and let him know" said Douglas
"Ok you call him I think I would get over excited" said Andrew with a grin plastered to his face Douglas laughed slightly the took out his pokétech and dialed the professors number he answered it on the third ring
"Hello professor oaks lab oak speaking how may I help you" said the professor
"Hello professor its Douglas something just happened and I though we should tell you" said Douglas he then went on to explain what had happened and to ask what they should do.
"Well I must admit this is a first you two have not only seen a legendary Pokémon but two and captured them I have never heard of this before but I suggest that you use some potions on moltres and get him to a Pokémon centre as soon as possible and it should be fine but what concerns me is that two legendary Pokémon were found injured I wonder who or what could have done it" said the professor thoughtfully
"Yeah that's weird I never thought about it before" said Douglas "Well if we find anything out we will let you know goodbye professor we'll talk to you later"
"Goodbye Douglas remember be careful out there" said the professor and with that they hung up the pokétech.
After they finished treating moltres with the potions it seemed happier and looking a lot better than when they first saw it then they set up camp for the night then they were just sitting around talking then they went into the tent and snuggled up together and Douglas had another weird dream it was that pink light again this time it said "We will meet soon you have all you need I will come to you soon" and then he woke up with a peaceful feeling. He just lay there with Andrew using is chest for a pillow he just smiled down at him thinking about how much he loved him and that he would never let him go he was thinking about the future how when he was old enough he wanted to buy a house with Andrew and possibly adopt some kids he knew he definitely wanted to marry him he was so deep in thought that he didn't notice that Andrew was propped up on one arm watching him he snapped out of his thoughts when Andrew kissed him passionately.
"So what were you thinking about" asked Andrew
"Us and what we could have in the future" answered Douglas
"Really and what do you want the future to hold for us" asked Andrew intrigued
"Well I see you and me married with our own house and maybe adopting some kids one day and us growing old together" answered Douglas with a big smile
"That's what I see as well when ever I think about us and what we could have as a future" said Andrew raising his head and kissed Douglas on the cheek.
"Come on let's pack up camp and head out and on to pewter city" said Douglas
"Ok let's go" replied Andrew they then got up and dressed and started packing up the tent and making sure the fire was out and that all the trash was picked up.
They made it back to the main road and it took them about an hour of walking before they reached pewter city once they reached the city they headed for the Pokémon centre to get moltres and there other Pokémon healed to say that nurse joy was surprised to hear that they had not one but two legendary Pokémon was an understatement but still took all there Pokémon with a smile while they were sitting on one of the couches in the lobby area they talked about what they were going to do while in pewter.
"Well were going to challenge the gym leader Brock for a badge then I guess we rest up before heading out to cerulean city" said Douglas
"Yea that sounds like a plan I hope we win at the gym" said Andrew
"Don't worry we will be both have Pokémon that will be strong against his rock type" said Douglas
"Oh yeah I forgot about that plus we have the legendaries as well that will give up the shock value as well" said Andrew thoughtfully
"Yeah I didn't think of that I still wish I knew who or what injured them like that" said Douglas anger growing
"Well let's hope we can find out and stop them before they hurt any more Pokémon" said Andrew putting his hand on Douglas's leg to calm him down just then nurse joy walked over and gave them there Pokémon.
"All of your Pokémon are doing fine good luck and come again" said nurse joy heading back to the counter
"Ok let's head to the gym who should go first me or you" asked Douglas
"You have more experience that me you go first and ill watch" answered Andrew
"Ok let's go" said Douglas standing up and heading out the doors of the centre fortunately the gym wasn't far from the centre. As they walked up to the gym they noticed that it was a rough stone building almost screaming that it was a rock type gym. They walked up to the doors and opened them and walked inside as they looked around the room they noticed that the battle field was covered with rocks which would give the advantage to the gym leader.
"Hello" shouted Douglas "Were here for a gym battle"
"Fine I am Brock leader of this gym who shall be my fist challenger" Brock shouted back
"I will my name is Douglas" said Douglas
"Ok this will be a two on two battle no time limit choose your fist Pokémon" said Brock taking his position at one end of the battle field
"Squirtle I choose you" said Douglas throwing a poke ball forward and squirtle came out and landed a few feet in front of Douglas "Ok squirtle its time for our first battle lets do our best"
"A water type good choice but I hope you know how to use it go geodude" said Brock throwing a poke ball forward the Pokémon that came out looked like a boulder with arms "Battle start"
"Ok squirtle water gun" said Douglas as squirtle let out a powerful jet of water that struck geodude on the face and it roared in pain
"Geodude tackle" Brock called and geodude charges straight at squirtle
"Squirtle dodge and use bubble beam" called Douglas and squirtle jumped out of the way and fired a long stream of bubbles that caused geodude to fall to the ground unconscious
"Geodude is unable to battle the winner is squirtle" said the referee
"Good job geodude return" said Brock and returned him to his poke ball "Go zubat" when the Pokémon was released it looked like a bat with no eyes and two long thin legs.
"Wow I thought you only used rock Pokémon" said Douglas
"I used to but zubat is good so I use him as well" said Brock
"Ok squirtle use water gun" said Douglas
"Zubat dodge and use quick attack" said Brock and zubat dodged the water gun and sped to wards squirtle who didn't make it out of the way in time and was hit hard he struggled to his feet when suddenly he started glowing bright white it grew in size it grew a tail and pointed ears when the light cleared it was definitely still a turtle but it was different Douglas took out his pokédex and pointed it at the Pokémon the pokédex said: Wartortle Often hides in water to stalk unwary prey. It cleverly controls its furry ears and tail to maintain its balance while swimming. When tapped, this Pokémon will pull in its head, but its tail will still stick out a little bit it is recognized as a symbol of longevity. If its shell has algae on it, that WARTORTLE is very old.
"Cool congratulations on evolving wartortle" said Douglas
"Congratulations now lets continue the battle zubat leech life" said Brock zubat flew forwards and bit wartortle still being weak from the quick attack it fell to the ground unconscious.
"Good job wartortle take a rest return" said Douglas calling wartortle back into its poke ball "Ok time to use a special Pokémon I choose you" throwing the master ball forward articuno flew out shining in all its glory.
"Well this is unexpected I never thought I would get to battle a legendary Pokémon especially an articuno" said Brock "well lets continue shall we zubat quick attack"
"Articuno dodge and use ice beam" called Douglas and articuno dodged the quick attack and fired a blue beam straight at zubat and froze it in a block of ice.
"Zubat is unable to battle the winner is articuno and the battle goes to Douglas from pallet town" said the referee as Brock called zubat back to its poke ball and Douglas called articuno back.
"Good battle here is the boulder badge you earned it" said Brock holding out a silver badge Douglas took it and clipped it to the inside of his jacket.
"Thank you Andrew would like to challenge you as well shall we wait or come back later" said Douglas as Andrew walked up to stand beside him.
"If you could come back in a few hours that would be great my Pokémon should be healed by then" said Brock
"Ok see you in a few hours then bye" said Douglas as they both left to go back to the Pokémon centre to get Douglas's Pokémon healed once they were they wandered about the city for a while then headed back to the gym for Andrews gym battle. The battle was good bulbasaur defeated brocks geodude and onix and Andrew got the gym badge they both went back to the Pokémon centre and Andrew got his Pokémon healed and they checked into one of the rooms. After getting some dinner they went back to their rooms to get some sleep during the night Douglas had another dream: "It is almost time for us to meet you will have what you are missing soon and we will then meet and I will give you two gifts that no one else will have".
Douglas woke up with the familiar feeling of peace and he gazed down at his love and that feeling increased even more.
