When we got to Route 1, we saw Juniper just in front of the grass.
"Hey there you three, I want to show you how to catch pokemon," Juniper said with a smile.
"Cool!" Bianca said happily.
"Ok, first you walk in the grass."
"Duh."
"Then a pokemon jumps out at you, so send yours out."
"Again, duh."
"Lower it's hp to just enough."
"Oh!"
"Then throw a pokeball!"
"I see."
"And that's all there is to it!"
"Thank you!"
"Here, these will help you all out, I'll be waiting for you all in Accumula Town, see ya!" Juniper said, waving as she left us.
"Fun," I muttered.
"I want to buy lots of pokeballs and potions and..." Bianca ranted.
"Let's just go to town," Cheren said, looking away and started off.
"Wait I have an idea!" Bianca stated looking happy about it.
"We've got no time, Prof. Juniper is waiting for us," Cheren explained.
"I don't care much anyway," I muttered, still walking away from them.
"Trust me it's fun! Let's see who can catch the most before we get to town!" Bianca replied, smiling.
"Actually, that's not bad," Cheren stated, thinking it over a bit.
"Meh," I said, leaving them behind.
"Are we going to do that mommy?" Oshy asked, looking up at me.
"You want a team mate don't you?" I asked Oshy. Oshy nodded happily. "Fine, for you."
I walked into the grass, looked around, and sighed. I walked some more in the grass, then I heard Oshy.
"Mommy I found one!" Oshy exclaimed, pointing at a Lillipup curled up and sleeping in the grass.
"Here, go get it," I said giving him a pokeball.
"Yeay!" Oshy squeed, rushed over and tapped the Lillipup with the pokeball.
"Did you get it?" I asked looking over at him.
"Yup!" Oshy said, rushing back over to me. He handed me the pokeball, "Are you going to give him a nickname too mommy?"
"Sure, why don't you name him," I said looking at Oshy.
"Ok..." Oshy said then started to think hard for a name for the little pup.
"Well?" I asked nicely.
"Radora!" Oshy said happily.
"Ok then," I smiled lightly and smirked at the strange name I was given.
"Yeays!" Oshy smiled, hugging the pokeball!
"Welcome to the team Radora," I said sending him out.
"Oi mates, vhat is up?" Radora said with a mixed accent. It sounded like German and Australian.
"Hi!" Oshy said, happily hugging Radora.
"So, we goin' to town or vhat?" Radora asked looking up at me.
"Sure, let's go," I said as we walked off.
"Don't we need to train though?" Oshy asked me, looking at Radora then back at me.
"Hmm, good point, fine, we train first," I said, then we wondered the grass to train a bit. After a bit of training we started to head to town.
"Hey! You there!" someone called.
"Hm?" I asked, pointing to myself.
"Yes you! You look like a pokemon trainer!" she called.
"Let's go," I muttered to my pokemon. They nodded.
"Wait! Don't you want the free potion?" she yelled, holding out the potion.
"Hm, Radora, fetch," I said, pointing to the potion.
"Ey mate, fine," Radora said, running over, grabbing the potion, then ran back.
"Thanks...here*sprits*" I said, spraying the potion on Radora. Then I threw the empty potion bottle behind me.
"OW!*T_T*" the mart girl said, rubbing the top of her head.
"Meh, to town," I said as we got close to town.
"Roshish! Want to compare how many pokemon we caught?" Bianca asked as I got closer to them.
"I have 2, now move I'm going to the pokemon center," I stated, walking passed her.
"We have 2 as well," Cheren said, following me closely.
"Great," I stated, noticing Juniper at the pokemon center entrance.
"Ah, I see you all are here, let me show you around," Juniper said, taking my and Bianca's arms and dragged us in the pokemon center.
"Yeay!" Bianca said as she got pulled up to the desk.
"This is the pokemon center, they heal your pokemon for free! Try it Roshish," Juniper said, watching me closely.
"Fine," I replied, handing my pokemon to the nurse, she took them and put them on the healing machine she had beside her. I waited, she handed them back fully healed. I looked over at Juniper and she smiled.
"Good. Now come this way, this is a PC. It's a pokemon storage system that will hold the rest of the pokemon you catch that don't go on your belt," Juniper explained, showing us how to use it.
"Why does it say 'Someone's PC'?" Bianca asked, looking at it closely.
"The reason for that is...And this way is the pokemart! They sell pokeballs and potions," Juniper continued, ignoring Bianca's question.
"I like shopping!" Bianca said happily, looking at all the things she could buy.
"I'm going to go back to Nuvema now, you all should go to Striaton City. I have a friend from college there, her name is Fennel. BYE!" Juniper called, leaving.
"BYE! What should I buy?" Bianca asked, looking at the potions and pokeballs.
"Ugh," I mumbled, leaving the pokemon center.
"There's a commotion over there, let's check it out," a middle aged man said and the two men walked over to the noise.
"Want to go too mommy?" Oshy asked me, lightly pulling on my pants leg.
"Sure," I replied, heading over to the commotion.
"My name is Ghetsis. I am here representing Team Plasma. Today, ladies and gentlemen, I would like to talk to you about Pokemon Liberation." Ghetsis started.
"Huh?"
"What?"
"Cheren? What the hell?" I asked, pointing to the green haired fool.
"I don't know, let's just listen," Cheren told me.
"I'm sure most of you believe that we humans and pokemon are partners that have come to live together because we want and need each other. However... is that really the truth? Have you ever considered that perhaps we humans... only assume that this is the truth?"
"Oh, really now? Douche," I muttered, hating this guy even more.
"Pokemon are subject to the selfish commands of trainers... they get pushed around when they are 'partners' at work... can anyone say with confidence that there is no truth in what I'm saying?" Ghetsis continued.
"No way."
"Yikes!"
"I don't know..."
"Psssht, I could so take him," I mumbled to Oshy.
"*giggles* Of course mommy," Oshy smiled, trying to hold back his giggles.
"Now, ladies and gentlemen, pokemon are different from humans. They are living beings that contain unknown potential. They are living beings from whom we humans have much to learn. Tell me, what is our responsibility toward these wonderful beings called pokemon?" Ghetsis continued to rant.
"What could it be?"
"Liberation?"
"Treat with love and care, as well as to punch as many stupid trainers as you can in the face," I whispered, getting a snicker from Oshy, Radora and Cheren.
"That's right! We must liberate the pokemon! Then, and only then, will humans and pokemon truly be equals. Everyone, I end my words here today by imploring you to consider the relationship between people and pokemon... and the correct way to proceed. We sincerely appreciate your attention." Ghetsis finished, then he and his lackey's left town.
"About that speech, what do you think we should do?" an older man asked a group of people.
"Liberate pokemon? That's not even possible!" a younger man exclaimed, not liking that speech. The group of people left.
"Your pokemon...just now it was saying..*Epic Punch!* OW!" the green haired young man started.
"I don't like nor care about you," I stated looking off in the distance.
"I demand a battle with you!" the green haired young man yelled, holding his nose as it bled.
"*Sigh* Really?" I asked, not caring.
"I think he has a right to. Actually, I think anyone you punch has a right to get a pokemon battle from you," Cheren stated, thinking this through.
"Fine," I sighed, looking down at Radora, "You go first."
"Ey!" Radora said, getting ready for the battle.
"Go Purrloin!" the guy said, sending out his pokemon.
"Dog, verses cat, I'll vin," Radora said darkly, growling.
"Meow?" Purrloin whimpered.
"Bite the bitch," I stated.
"No problem," Radora said, and tore the purrloin to shreds.
"My...my friend," the guy said, looking down at his purrloin sadly.
"I'm done," I said, starting to walk away.
"My name is N, and I'm going to stop the world from trainers like yourself!" He yelled at me, giving me $700 and leaving in a hurry.
"Meh," I muttered, walking back to the pokemon center.
"You dominated him," Cheren said as he followed me.
"I didn't, Radora did the work," I said pointing down to my Lillipup.
"Ey, I did mate," Radora replied, with a big smile.
"Well, I'm going to go to Striaton City to fight the gym leader, see ya," Cheren told me as he left.
"Fun. Well at least I can rest, it's gettin' dark," I stated, looking out at the sunset.
"It's pretty," Oshy said lightly, looking out at it as well.
"Tomorrow morning we'll go on," I stated, laying across a couch in the pokemon center tilting my hat lower.
"We'll rest too," Oshy said, getting up on the couch and laid on my legs.
"Indeed," Radora said laying on the floor curled up.
"Night guys," I said lightly, falling asleep.
