Sorry for the delay! Hehe, got caught up in real life :O
To make it up to all of you, I will be doing THREE chapters. One after the other today! Lately, I've been playing Pokemon Pearl/Emerald and that really got some inspiration in me. Anyways, let the story begin!
Disclaimer: I do not own Pokemon.
Crys let out another scream, ducking as a searing Flamethrower missed her by an inch, burning down some bushes. Gerard retaliated with a barrage of bubbles, hitting the Charizard in the chest, though it wasn't even fazed. Kiyoshi reached to try and hit the Charizard, however the poor Bulbasaur didn't even come close to reaching. Now, the two frail Pokemon were panting heavily. Scalia didn't even break sweat and Julian smirked. Krystee nervously bit her fingernails, a nasty habit she picked up.
"Kiyoshi! Leech Seed!" Krystee ordered. The little seeds traveled up…only to be swatted back down by Scalia's huge wings. Crys whipped out her pokedex, checking the level of her Squirtle. He was now level 9, not yet level 10. She inwardly cursed. Just a little more….
"Krystee, hold off the Charizard. I have a plan." Crys whispered to Krystee. Her friend blinked before snapping back to reality.
"Okay, Kiyoshi Vine Whip to that tree!" Krystee called out. Long, thin green vines wrapped around a branch of a lucky tree, propelling itself up the sky. The Charizard let out a surprised roar as the petite Bulbasaur landed on its back. Julian frowned as he looked up from the book he had out.
"Leech Seed!" three seeds emerged from Kiyoshi's back, vines tangling itself around the scaly red body. Scalia let out a pained cry. Julian frowned.
"Fly, straight up!" Julian said calmly. The Charizard flew up with such speed, Kiyoshi fell off, grabbing something with her attack before reaching the ground. Krystee let out a sigh of relief.
"Now! Gerard, Withdraw! Then use Bubble!" Crys cried out. The Squirtle spun around, bubbles forming as it flew in the air. It smashed the Charizard's side. Although it didn't injure Scalia, it was enough to throw it off course and to the ground. Once it was in reach, the Bulbasaur wrapped its vines around the Charizard, incapacitating it.
"Return, Scalia." Julian said as he withdrew the Charizard. He smirked while Crys and Krystee cheered with their Pokemon.
"You guys, I can't believe you actually managed to do that. But if it was a real battle, I would have totally creamed you guys," Julian boasted. Before Krystee or Crys could retaliate, he continued, "Anyways, final lesson for today. How to catch a Pokemon."
"Catching Pokemon?" Crys wondered. She had never seen it actually happen, just heard of it. Krystee smacked her forehead at her friend's reaction. Sure Crys was book smart, she was never actually street smart.
"Yeah, you now, how Professor Oak catches them and practically every other person on this planet?" Krystee said sarcastically. Before the argument could go further, Julian interrupted.
"Yes, yes. Before you do though, heal your Pokemon with this." He threw them each a Potion. They tenderly sprayed its content on their Pokemons' injuries. Quickly, their health were restores and they were nearly as good as new.
"Okay, so do both of you have Pokeballs?" He asked them. Both girls checked their bag. Krystee reached in her checkered backpack and sure enough, there were five thanks to her mother. Crys reached into her handbag and pulled out one. The other four were quickly tucked in her pocket.
"Yep." They responded.
"Okay, well get ready." Julian reached in his own bag, pulling out a white flute. He played a little and Pokemon came out. There were Ratatas, Weedles, Caterpies…all kinds of Pokemon. A migrating Pokemon, however, courageously stepped up. It was an Elekid, pounding on its chest, challenging Julian.
"Warrior, Aura sphere!" Julian hurled a pokeball in the air, a Lucario bursting out, sending a barrage of blue energy at the Elekid. Some hit it, though the Elekid maneuvered out of most. It released a thunderbolt, hitting Warrior, yet the more experienced Pokemon merely flinched. The Elekid panted, kneeling.
"First, start battling the Pokemon. Lower the Hit points and….throw a Pokeball to try and catch it!" Julian threw the device. The Pokemon sucked in. Although it tried to get out, it didn't have enough energy to fight. The Pokeball eventually lay still, a small clink signifying it capture.
"Okay, so that's all we have to do?" Crys asked. Julian frowned.
"It's harder than it looks." Julian pointed out.
"Whatever you say…" Krystee rolled her eyes. She moved forward, some Pokemon immediately scurrying. A Pikachu was left, staring at her curiously. She was about to take another step when the Pikachu let out a little shock, nearly hitting Krystee's foot. Kiyoshi let out a quiet growl, lurching forward in front of Krystee.
"Alright Kiyoshi, start with a Growl." Kiyoshi nodded her head, raising her head to emit a loud growl. The Pikachu mewled, turning around to wave its tail. Both Pokemon glared at each other.
"Well, that didn't work much….Anyways, go for a Tackle!" Krystee ordered. The Bulbasaur rushed forward, aiming a tackle at the Pikachu. The mouse-like Pokemon jumped over Kiyoshi, grinning mischievously. Krystee smirked.
"Leech Seed!" Krystee commanded. Tiny seeds suddenly sprouted, clutching onto the Pikachu and sucking its health out. It writhed in the ground, twitching as it tried to get up only to fail. Kiyoshi let out a victorious cry and Krystee grabbed a Pokeball.
"Here we go…" Krystee quietly muttered, gripping the Pokeball before throwing it at the Pikachu. It sailed towards the wide-eyed Pokemon and hit it in its stomach. It let out a pained cry before being sucked in. The red and white capture device shook side to side before laying still. Krystee gingerly picked it up.
"I'll name you Aki." Krystee whispered, pocketing the Pokeball before giving Crys a high-five.
"That was…average." Julian criticized while Krystee resisted the urge to smack him.
"Alright! My turn!" Crys cried out excitedly. Gerard leapt forward, staring down a puny Caterpie. It was the tiniest around, the others easily towering over it. It tried to desperately move around, yet the other Caterpies had already left in hoards, leaving it behind.
"Awww….don't be afraid. I won't hurt you." Crys urged on, extending her hand to the Caterpie. The Caterpie slowly crawled its way up her arm…and bit down hard. Crys screamed, flinging her arms back and forth. The Caterpie clung on and eventually jumped off, trying to crawl as fast as it can.
"WHY YOU! THAT'S IT! GERARD, BUBBLE!" Crys screamed in fury. Gerard roared(though it sounded more like a squeak) and let out a stream of bubbles. They hit the Caterpie, greatly damaging it but it continued its escape. Crys growled, throwing a Pokeball…only to miss. Krystee face-palmed and Julian let out a low chuckle. Crys glared at him and he immediately shut up but Julian had a huge smirk. Crys grabbed the Pokeball from the ground and threw it again. It hit a tree, bouncing on the ground and rolled over to the Caterpie, trapping it inside. It struggled, but it was unavoidable.
"Woohoo!" Crys cheered, pumping her fist in the air. Krystee did another face-palm, a red mark on her forehead now. Julian's face was blank. Had he ever seen such an odd capture before? Probably not.
"That was…interesting." Julian tried to carefully pick out the right word. Crys beamed and Gerard jumped up and down.
"My head hurts…" Krystee sat down next to a tree, nursing a throbbing forehead. Crys continued to grin, holding the Pokeball next to her face.
"Collete, you name is Collete." Crys chanted softly. The ball shook a little, a response from the new name. Crys grinned some more, pocketing the pokeball.
"And that ends today's lesson. I'll be going now." Julian said, grabbing his bag and walking away. Krystee blinked but shrugged. Crys was still beaming from her first capture while Krystee headed deeper into the forest. Crys raised her eyebrows, but Krystee was the adventurous type. There was no stopping her. Instead, Crys ran back to the Pokemon Center, seeing if she could make new friends.
Wow, I'm losing my touch D:
Sorry guys, my internet went haywire and I had some writer's block….
Anyways, R&R
