Chapter 4
Sammy had left Veridian a couple hours ago and was now making his way through Veridian forest. "Allright Pidgey, use Gust" Sammy shouted. There was a small green caterpiller pokemon.
Pidgey was panting heavily and so was the caterpillar, Pidgey flapped its wings and sent a gust of wind that sent the caterpillar back into a rock unconcous, "Allright, go Pokeball" Sammy shouted.
He threw a pokeball at the caterpillar who was then pulled in. The ball shook a couple times then made that ding sound, "Allright, now lets check you out" he said pulling out his pokedex then sending the caterpiller out.
"Caterpie, the Worm Pokémon. Caterpie uses the suction cups on its feet to climb trees and feed on its favorite leaves. Moves known are String shot, Tackle, Bug bite. This Caterpie is a male" The PokeDex said.
"Allright, looks like we got a little toughie, ent that right Pidgey" Sammy said. Pidgey cooed and flew around Sammy's head. Sammy smiled then returned his pokemon.
xXx
He carried on walking and found himslef in an open field. He felt the wind blow against his skin, it was refreshing. He carried on walking and saw a grey rock, big enough to sit on in the center of the field so he went over and sat.
He pulled out a snack and then sent his pokemon out. First Squirtle then Pidgey and lastly Caterpie, "Hey guys, you hungry?" he asked his three pokemon. Squirtle and Pidgey cried happily but Caterpie just sat there looking sad.
He pulled out a tin of PokeChow and 3 bowls that he brought before he left Veridian. He poured the chow into the bowls and Squirtle and Pidgey dug in but Caterpie just looked away. Sammy knew somthing was wrong.
"Hey boy, whats the matter?" he asked. Caterpie just looked sad and Sammy saw a tear fall from its eye, "Aww, come on dont cry" Sammy said. Caterpie just let more tears fall, "Come on, tell us whats up" Sammy said.
"We are up" came a man's voice before a mechanic arm came down and grabbed Caterpie, "What the" Sammy said before looking up. He saw a man and a woman in a black air baloon with a red 'R' on the front.
The man was taller then Sammy and had long silver hair with a fringe that covered one of his crimson coloured eyes. He had a pale face and was wearing a black uniform with a red 'R' on the front just like the ballon.
The girl was about 12 and had light blue hair cut just below her ears. She had brown eyes and was slightly tanned. She wore the same uniform as the man but instead of trousers she was wearing a skirt that stopped halfway down her thigh.
"Hey who are you and give me my Caterpie back now" shouted Sammy, "My name is Alexander" said the man, "And i am Luna" said the woman. "We are team rocket and we are on the search for strong pokemon and we noticed your battle earlier, this Caterpie knows Bug bite, very rare for a Caterpie to know that move" Alexander said.
"Yeh, well that Caterpie is mine now give him back" Sammy shouted, "Pidgey go help your friend". Pidgey looked up from her food and noticed Caterpie. She took of into the air and headed for the balloon, "I dont think so, Zubat use Supersonic" said Luna sending out a small bat pokemon with no eyes.
Zubat sent out a screech sound and Pidgey fell to the floor writhing in pain, "Pidgey, no" Sammy shouted but he fell to the floor himself. Squirtle ran over to them and bvefore she could do anything she fell to the ground aswell.
"Well, we will be leaving now" said Alexander. The ballon started moving and Caterpie watched as his new trainer was in pain. He cried out for help but Sammy was unconcous.
xXx
Team Rocket landed the balloon on the other side of Veridian forest and got out, "We acctually got a Caterpie with Bug bite" said Alexander, "Yeh, well instead of giving it to the boss cant we keep it, it will make a good addition" Luna said, "Are you a fool, boss said take the Caterpie straight to head quarters as soon as we get it" Alexander replied.
"But you have two pokemon and i wa..." Luna could finnish that sentance as she was met with a death glare from Alexander, "Go set Caterpie up for transportation" he said, "Yes sir" Luna replied.
Luna looked upset. She walked over to Caterpie who was still being held by the mechanic arm, "Allright sweetie, im going to put you in this glass case and your going to meet the boss" she said while taking Caterpie in her arms.
She placed him into a glass container and closed the lid. Caterpie looked for an exit but couldnt see one. He was a gonner for sure.
xXx
Sammy was woken up by Squirtle's bubble attack. "Huh...arghhh, no Caterpie, we have to find him" Sammy shouted before jumping up. He looked down and saw Pidgey and Squirtle looking at him sympathetically, "Pidgey, i need you to fly of and see if you can find them, can you do that?" he asked.
Pidget nodde before taking of. Squirtle jumped on Sammy's shoulder and Sammy took of following Pidgey.
They made it out from the clearing and back into the woods and were folowing a dirt path. Sammy looked up and he sun was blazing down, 'Its about noon, if we dont find them soon, we might loose Caterpie' Sammy thought.
Pisgey snapped him out of his thoughts by sqawking, Sammy looked up and could see Pidgey circleing an area, "Its has to be them" he said before running on.
xXx
He made it to the area and could see team rocket talking and Caterpie was in a glass container. Caterpie looked really upset and looked like he was just giving up. Sammy hated seeing his own pokemon this way so he started thinking of a stratergy.
He though of one but it was going to be risky, "Allright Pidgey i want you to distract team rocket" Sammy whispered. Pidgey nodded in agreement, "Me and Squirtle will get the container and rescue Caterpie, once you see us gone come follow us okay" said Sammy. Pidgey cooed silently in agreement.
Pidgey took of above the bush they were hiding in and flew down to team rocket. Pidgey used Gust to blow all the papers everywhere and the used Quick attack to spiral around team rocket making them dizzy.
Sammy and Squirtle were creeping up to Caterppie but was suddenly stopped by a scary ghost pokemon. It looked like a ball of gas, "Good work Ghastly" said Alexander.
Ghastly chukeled, "Now, what to do with you...erm...right, Luna tie this little brat up" Alexander said, "Yes sir" Luna said before running over and tieing Sammy up.
They placed Squirtle and Pidgey in glass containers aswell and left them over near Caterpie. Sammy looked at his pokemon faces and they all looked so sad. This made Sammy really mad, but what could he do.
xXx
It was getting dark and they had put them all in a tent. Sammy was getting tired, he could see that Squirtle and Pidgey had fallen asleep but not Caterpie. He heared footsteps so he pretended to be asleep.
He heared the person speak, "Damn Alexander, he is allways bossing me around, thats not even his real name" the voice was female and Sammy knew it was Luna.
Sammy opened one eye and she was kneeling in front of Caterpie, "Poor little thing, i dont like doing this to pokemon, its just mean, but i have no choice" Luna said.
Sammy felt sorry for the girl. 'If she didnt like doing this then why did she' he thought to himself. Luna looked very sad and Sammy saw a tear fall from her eye, "Thats it, im standing up for myself, allright come here" she said before opening the container.
Caterpie was releaved to come out and saw who set him free. He nuzzled her leg but she pointed towards Sammy. Caterpie knew what he had to do so he crawled over to Sammy and started biting the ropes.
And after aminute or so Sammy was free. He jumped up and stretched, "Im so sorry for what we did, please, im giving you a chance to go, so go" Luna said.
Sammy looked at her but didnt say anything. He ran over to Squirtle and Pidgey and got them out, "Ive missed you guys so much" he said hugging his pokemon who returned the hug.
He looked back at Luna once more before turning to leave. HE got outside the tent but was met with Alexander and Ghastly, "Where do you think your going?" he chuckled, "Ghastly get em" he said.
Ghastly shot two drak beams out of its eyes. Sammy managed to jup out the way with his pokemon but just my an inch, "That must be Night shade, allright im using you boy, use String shot to tie Ghastly up" Sammy ordered.
Caterpie nodded before shooting string out of its mouth that tied up Ghastly. All Ghastly looked liek now was a ball of cotton with eye, "Now that its covoured normal attacks will work, so use Tackle" Sammy shouted.
Caterpie ran then jumped at Ghastly. He hit it hard and sent the Ghost-type flying into a tree knocking it out, "Allright, now who thought a Normal-type move could take down a ghost" Sammy chuckled.
"Right Ghastly return and go Growlithe" Alexander shouted. He returned Ghastly and out came a small red fire dog, "Allright Caterpie, Sting shot" shouted Sammy, "I dont think so, Growlithe use ember" Alexander ordered. Caterpie shot the web out its mouth but before it reached Growlithe, Growlithe sent embers down the web and then hit Caterpie.
Caterpie went up in flames and started to run around in circles trying to put out the fire, "Oh no, Caterpie return" Sammy shouted, Caterpie heared this and jumped out the way spinning through the air making the flames go out, "So you still wana battle?" Sammy asked, Caterpie nodded, "Allright then, use bug bite".
Caterpie opened its mouth and its teeth glowed white. He then jumped at Growlithe and put onto its head, nibbling on its fur. Growlithe wasnt getting hurt but was very annoyed.
It started runninga round in circles trying to shake the Caterpie of but while running it hit into a rock and fell to the floor. Caterpie jumped of and back to Sammy, "Allright boy, we did it" Sammy said picking Caterpie up and hugging him.
"What, but how..." Alexander said, "Come on, lets get out of here" came Luna's voice. While they were battleing she had set the air ballon up and packed everything away.
Alexander nodded before returning his Growlithe and then jumped into the ballon's basket, "I will not forget this" shouted Alexander while they took of.
Sammy didnt care that they got away, as long as he had his pokemon back he was just great.
