Pokemon Absol chapter 3
Still wished I owned it.
Even though I don't
"Never again." Lloyd said wiping his hands together. "I said I was sorry." Ash cried from the ground. "You are never. And I repeat never allowed to lead the way somewhere ever again." Lloyd pointed threateningly at Ash. "Yes, sir." Ash agreed. Pikachu looked on in amazement while Absol shook leaves from his fur. "Now get up." Lloyd said walking off. "Pewter City is just ahead of us." Ash hopped up and ran after Lloyd. Pikachu and Absol gave chase as well.
Dawn of the First day in Pewter City.
As our intrepid hero's arrive in the city at the crack of dawn they are greeted to the site of a large sprawling city with rocks of all shapes and sizes everywhere. "Pokemon Center?" Ash asked keeping a five foot distance. "Clothing store." Lloyd answered setting off for the nearest one he could find. Upon entering one. "Hello and welcome to, oh my god what happened?" The cashier panicked at the sight of Lloyd. His red and black ensemble had been turned into rags. While Ash's looked like they were riddled with bullet holes. The rest of their bodies were covered in dirt, mud, leaves and in one instance blood. "We need new clothes." Lloyd said. The cashier, a girl, helped them immediately.
Thirty minutes later.
They were seen leaving the store with bags in hand still in there rags heading for the pokemon center. "Oh my god what happened?" Nurse Joy exclaimed running around the desk to make sure our heroes were all right. "A story best told rested, fed, cleaned, and clothed to be properly told." Lloyd explained. "Are either of you injured?" Nurse Joy asked eyeing the blood. "No. But could we have two rooms? Please?" He asked. Nurse Joy handed over two keys relenting. "We'll explain in thirty minutes." Lloyd said. "But?" Ash tried to get some words in. "Thirty minutes. To shower, change and clean up our pokemon." Lloyd's voice left no room for argument.
Thirty minutes later. Again.
Returning to the center proper Lloyd handed over his pokemon to Nurse Joy after having given them a scrub down to get properly treated. Ash arrived moments later handing over Pikachu and the others. Apparently Ash had scrubbed Pikachu down because he looked cleaner. With a gesture to the cafeteria Ash fell in line while Nurse Joy grabbed a notepad wondering if she had to press charges, while Chansey took the pokemon to get looked at.
As Ash and Lloyd got food they sat down across from Joy. "So our story starts three weeks ago back in Viridian city the day after the attempted robbery." Lloyd started. "They escaped." Nurse joy interrupted. "Great. Any ways as we left Viridian city and went into Viridian forest Ash here got distracted." Sean paused to eat some of his food while Ash looked embarrassed but continued eating.
"By all the pokemon." Nurse Joy supplied. "Correct. Now Ash is a new trainer so its okay to get excited by every pokemon you see and that's where it got ridiculous. No, wait it got ridiculous at a different point." He corrected himself.
"So I helped a couple of pokemon." Ash spoke up. "A couple?" Nurse joy inquired. "A "couple" Ash is one or two. Not entire flocks of Pidgey in each direction. Not entire an entire swarm of Butterfree. How did you even build an abbey for the Rattata?" Lloyd questioned heatedly digging into his food more. "Well at least I didn't beat a guy's face in with a Magikarp!" Ash accused. Nurse Joy breathed deep at that. "He attacked me with a Katana. From behind!" Lloyd countered. "I have the right to defend myself."
"For all of two weeks?" Ash argued. "When you open your mouth and loudly proclaim that you're a pokemon trainer. In a forest famous for its bug types during Beedrill season. Then yes Ash. I will defend myself for two weeks with a Magikarp to the person who caused it." Lloyd defended himself. Nurse Joy thought for a moment before labeling it as self defense. She would have to ask more about the person in question later on.
"At least I caught some pokemon." Ash said smugly. "Ash, you caught a Caterpie which is now fully evolved because of our long time in Viridian forest. You also got a Pidgeotto. While an impressive specimen it is still remarkably common." Lloyd paused for a drink. "However, trying to convince your starter to leave you when he doesn't want too is stupid." Ash looked indignant at that. "Pikachu obviously didn't want to leave you yet you kept trying to convince it regardless." Lloyd finished returning to his food.
"So this person who attacked you, did you get his name?" Nurse Joy inquired. "His name is and I quote "Samurai"." Ash supplied. "He had apparently challenged the other trainers who had come from Pallet Town and wanted to battle me. Unfortunately, he confused me for Lloyd who at the time had been taking care of his Magikarp." Ash paused taking a sip of water.
"He had barged out of the forest swinging his katana at Lloyd who grabbed his Magikarp by the fins and swung it at the guy. His sword broke upon Magikarp's scales and then he got knocked around by Lloyd with the fish." Ash took a few bites as Nurse Joy took a few more notes. "And you said he traveled with you for two weeks?" "He followed us around for two weeks while we trained our Pokemon and helped the local wild life." Ash answered looking away. "What happened?" Nurse Joy pressed. Lloyd spoke up. "Each time he showed up he attacked me with another katana and I beat him up with my Magikarp. And I have no idea why he didn't use his pokemon."
Nurse Joy took a few more notes nodding her head. "A possible psychopath in Viridian Forest she wrote down." "Do you know where his home base is?" She asked them. They looked at each other. "No and that was due to all the Beedrill swarms we repeatedly had to run from during the last week. We barely got any sleep." Lloyd explained. "He ambushed us at the edge of the forest again. I knocked him out and tied him to a tree earlier this morning intending to file a report at the police station. "That explains your clothes." Nurse Joy stated. Noticing their current ensembles; Lloyd was in a grey button up shirt with black slacks and loafers while Ash was in a red shirt and blue slacks with sneakers.
"Is that all Nurse Joy?" Lloyd asked having finished his food. Ash had also. I will pass along the information to Officer Jenny and she will handle the situation. "So how did Nurse Joy get from Viridian City to here so quickly?" Ash wondered. "There is a main path through the forest that you constantly led us off us. And that's not the same Nurse Joy we met in Viridian City." Lloyd sighed. "It's the same for Officer Jenny." Lloyd answered before Ash could speak up. "You'll find some families in the world who look and act alike all over the world. And there last name is a clan name used by the entire family. So there are multiple Officer Jennies and Nurse Joy's all over the place. "
Ash looked confused. "How do you tell them all apart then?" Lloyd thought on that. "I have no idea. The only noticeable difference I really notice is hair styles and height. Otherwise don't worry about it." Lloyd stood up and checked his wallet. "I'm gonna go resupply and then sleep the rest of the day away. You?" "I want to challenge the gym leader, but my pokemon are resting and my gear needs replacing so that's what I'm going to do." Ash dug out the debit card from Delia.
The duo went shopping for the remainder of their supplies. Lloyd got a class three travel bag and a type two storage unit to hold his belongings. Ash got another class two travel bag while getting a type 1 storage unit do to the original one in ash's possession being damaged by the Beedrill. It was as they restocked pokemon food and medicine that Ash reached the agreed upon weekly spending. Lloyd also reached his due to buying more expensive medicine.
To hell with it! this chapter was supposed to be longer but it turned into a filler. Deal with it.
