I do not own pokemon or any reference I may make, they belong to their respective owners.
Characters are based of me and my friends with a few twists.
"Finish it with Ember!" I ordered. Firaga had just knocked out the trainer's Butterfree.
"Return" he said while calling it back. Then he pulled out another pokeball. "Go Beedrill! Use Poison Sting"
It shot forward with stingers ready to strike. "Dodge and use Scratch", I ordered.
Firaga jumped over the Beedrill and raked his claws across its face. "Finish with Ember" and once again Firaga came out on top. The trainer paid his fee.
"By the way, why were panicking so much to avoid being poisoned?" he asked
"Just didn't feel like dealing with poison" I replied.
"Oh, ok then bye" with that he left.
'Didn't want to deal with the poison, idiot' Firaga said angrily.
I had a feeling that he was calling me an idiot, although I can't blame him.
Flashback
We were half way through Viridian forest and we had a Pikachu on the ropes.
"Alright time to catch a new teammate". I enthusiastically said. "so I just throw the pokeba—what the?" I looked heavily through my bag. "Oh Shit I forgot to buy pokeballs!"
'What!' Firaga turned. While this was going on the Pikachu had gotten up and left.
"Crap it got away. Hh well we'll find another." It really didn't matter to me. I looked through my bag again. My eyes opened up wide "Oh Shit! I forgot to buy antidotes and potions!"
That was the last straw, Firaga bite my hand again, but not only that, he burnt me a bit.
'What the hell is wrong with you, what kind of idiot do you have to be to forget something as important as those?" he questioned only to answer himself. 'Oh wait' he stared at me.
"Ah, sorry"
After a few hours of walking and battling, we finally reached the city, Pewter City.
"Finally out of that forest. Alright time to heal and get our first badge" I cried happily. "But first supplies!" I looked at Firaga.
'I'm surprised you remembered to buy food, at least we didn't starve' he commented 'But how the hell did we get out of there so fast, how the hell did you not get lost?' he said 'You know what? I'm not going to question it, allot better that way' He is right; do not ever question my dumb luck.
After healing at the center, we decided to look around town, when an odd domelike thingy crawled in front.
"What's this dome thingy?" I questioned "It looks like it has eyes on the dome"
I pulled out my pokedex and it gave me the information on it.
"So you're a Kabuto, cool" I said.
'Is he not going to question the fact that my species are suppose to be extinct?' it asked.
'Your species is gone?' Firaga asked back.
'Never mind, I would like to spend some time with you two, may I?' it asked.
Firaga started saying the usual 'Mander Char Charmander?', but I somehow knew what he was saying. "Alright it can chill with us for a while, do you have an owner?" I asked. It nodded. "Well when we find him, then explain, but for now let's have some fun"
For the day we went and ate out, I won allot of money back in the forest, so me and Firaga were stuffing ourselves at this joint, Kabuto was holding back, but I told it "All you can eat" and then it joined us. Later we went to train, against wild and trainers, and Kabuto did some training itself, as I watched, I was pretty impressed, not as strong as Firaga, but still not bad. I also learned that it was a dual typing, Rock and Water. "Pretty cool, doesn't seem to have many weaknesses, wish I could get one, better ask it's trainer when we meet". After all that we stopped by the museum. We stared in awe, Firaga by my side and Kabuto on my head, we looked at all the fossil and were amazed by the theories the scientist had told us. Just then a guy about my age, probably a year or 2 older with squinty eyes and spiky brown hair came up.
"Kabuto there you are, I've been looking all for you" he said.
"Oh it belongs to you, sorry it came up to us and wanted to spend the day with us" I explained. I also noticed that Kabuto climbed down to my shoulder hiding a little.
"That's okay, she tends to run off from me, I don't think she likes me much, can't really blame her, she was just resurrected few months ago into this new age, but I'm surprised that she has taken a liking to someone", he explained.
"Wait, it's a she, wait, resurrected?" Firaga and I questioned.
"Ya, Kabuto species have been extinct for many centuries, there are no more"
"Really?"
Brock just stared at me. "You're not serious are you?" he asked. "I've never heard about them, so it can't be helped" I explained and he just kept staring.
"Anyways I gotta go and challenge the gym, gonna win me a badge" I ran out enthusiastically, while Brock and Kabuto just stared in the direction I ran.
The sun was setting by the time we reached the gym. When we entered we heard a voice.
"Welcome challenger" The voice said.
"Wait I know that voice, Brock is that you" I asked.
"Yes I am the Pewter City Gym Leader, the user of Rock pokemon" He answered. "So what took you so long to get here, I saw you like an hour ago?"
"Well it's my first time in this city, so I got lost finding the gym" I answered proudly.
"Have you no shame?" He thought "Anyways this will be a 2 on 2 pokemon battle" He explained.
"Wait, I only have one" "Well then your going to have to come back", but just as he said that Kabuto came out of her ball and came to my side. "Kabuto what are you doing?" I asked.
"Wow, I've never seen Kabuto taking a liking to someone so much, not even me, seems like she wants to fight with you" He explained.
"Really?" I looked down at the dome pokemon and it nodded. "Alright let's battle".
"Go Geodude!" "Go Firaga!"
What Brock sent out was a rock with two arms, eyes and a mouth. "You're going to fight a rock type with a fire type?" He questioned. "Types don't matter to us, so let's fight".
"Firaga, Ember!" He shot an Ember at Geodude, but it didn't do much damage.
"Use Tackle" It shot forward and hit Firaga, who tumbled back.
"Run up and hit with another Ember" "Use Rock Tomb" With that Geodude sent rocks flying at Firaga, who was hit.
"Damn, don't worry too much, do it again" "Rock Tomb again" I noticed that Firaga had slowed down a bit "Must be an effect of that attack, got to be careful".
"Firaga, remember the training we did?"
Flashback
"This training is to teach you two things" I explained. He stared at me ready. "One that surprise attacks can come from anywhere and two…" He waited for me to finish.
"DODGE!" I yelled as I threw rocks and sticks at him, too which surprised him and made him unable to dodge.
"And that is why were having this training" I said. Firaga just stared at me, mad once again, while Kabuto just sat on the side lines.
"DODGE!" I yelled. Firaga jumped over the rocks and Geodude and shot him in the back with Ember, but it seemed to do more damage then before. "His weak spot" I figured.
"Damn use Tackle" Brack said as Geodude shot forward. Firaga once again dodged, but this time he ran towards Geodude, with his claws ready.
"What's he doing…?" Just then my pokedex beeped, I looked at and smirked. "Now Metal Claw!"
His claws glowed white. 'You're finished' he said before swiping at Geodude and knocking him out. 'Heh, whose next' he asked.
"Return. Impressive, but can you handle my next pokemon, he is strong. Go Onix" he shouted as he threw the ball forward. What it released almost made me wet myself or maybe it did "I'll check that out later" I thought. Firaga just stood there, mouth a gapped.
'Oh Shit'
"Onix, Rock Throw!" Brock Ordered. Firaga quickly dodged under the rocks and ran towards Onix. "Metal Claw", he struck, but Onix batted him away and hit him with another Rock Throw, which knocked him out.
"No way, Firaga knocked out" I was shocked "Return, you ready" Kabuto just nodded and walk forward. I looked at her moves. "Oh no"
"That's right, although she is strong, she doesn't have many attacks. Now Onix Dig" Onix went underground and I was stuck waiting. Just then, before I noticed Onix came out and hit Kabuto.
"Dammit, use Scratch" Kabuto ran up and Scrathced it, but it didn't do much. "Use Dig again" Once again Onix dug underground.
Just then my pokedex beeped again and when I looked. "Kekekekeke" Just before Onix appeared again.
'DODGE' Kabuto shouted as she jumped up from where Onix came up. "I guess she was doing more then watching". Kabuto landed on top of Onix's head. "Now use Absorb" Kabuto clenched hard onto Onix and then a green light emitted from Onix and went into Kabuto.
'Ahh, much better' she taunted.
"Finish it with one more" I pointed.
'You're finished' Kabuto said as she sucked the last bit of energy from Onix and then he collapsed.
"No way, I lost three times in a row now" Brock said sadly.
"Three?" I asked.
"Yeah, some other trainers have beaten me in the past two days, but that doesn't matter I present to you the Boulder Badge" He proudly proclaimed.
"Yes"
"Wait, take this as well" He handed me a pokeball. "It's Kabuto's, she's yours to keep, make me proud".
"Awesome" I then realized something. I looked down to confirm it. "Oh dammit, I did wet myself"
'Ew' Kabuto said
It's been about a week since I left home, I'm in Pewter City, I have two great pokemon, and I've just got a badge. I stayed the night in Pewter before left.
Walking down the route east from Pewter, were enjoying a nice, peaceful walk, with Firaga on my side and Kabuto on my head, but then I remembered something.
"Oh Crap I forgot to buy supplies!" I screamed before booking it back to Pewter.
Good, we got a new pokemon and we got a badge. Only seven more to go…great.
