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.
Traveling down route 3, I decided to train Kabuto up, being that she needed to be trained to catch up to Firaga. At this moment in time, we are currently in a battle with this female trainer. She was using her Jigglypuff against Kabuto and she was pissing us off.
"Keep putting it to sleep and then Double Slap it" the Lass ordered
One thing I've noticed about Kabuto is that she is normally sweet and somewhat shy, also a little gullible, but she has some sort of split personality, I mean she doesn't exactly have the whole two minds thing, but at times she becomes creepier and easily angered. By now she has woken up, for like the seventh or eighth time.
"Oh boy I think it's happened again" I thought
'Oh my, looks like I am going to have to punish you' Kabuto said
'Like you could, I'll just put you to sleep again' her opponent replied. She was just about to use Sing when Kabuto had appeared in front of her.
'Now now, I can't trust that mouth of yours to keep shut, I'll just make it shut' Kabuto had said before raising her claw and dropping it down onto Jigglypuff, who just stood there in fear before being knocked out.
"Wow you've got a scary pokemon there" the Lass commented
"Nah, she's usually very nice, just don't anger her" I replied while rubbing Kabuto's dome shell.
'Did I do something wrong? I wonder, I wonder?' Kabuto asked while looking at me, totally unaware of what she did. With that the Lass paid and left.
"You really remind me of someone" I said to Kabuto. Just then it hit me. "I got it, how about we call you Rena?" she nodded, so she seemed to like the name.
Asides from Rena's scary outburst, we just continued through route 3 and into route 4 while battling more trainers, until we decided to stop for lunch. While we were eating, we were attacked and our food got swiped.
"What was that?" I asked
'Char' Firaga pointed to an area, where I saw a Spearow eating our food.
"Hey" I called and it turned. "It's not nice to steal other people's food" I scolded it.
'I saw my prey and attacked" it said "I live to fight and hunt, well you look somewhat tough, my new prey' it dropped the food and took a fighter stance.
I didn't really notice it because I was looking at the food on the ground. "You bastard, I paid money for that and you dropped it on the ground. That's it your mine" I yelled "Rena your up"
Rena moved forward and took her fighter stance.
'That wasn't very nice, you could of just asked us and we would have shared' she said
'Whatever, DIE!' it screeched and flew towards Rena and hit her with a Fury Attack before we could even notice.
"Damn it's fast, use Scratch" with that Rena ran forward and hit him Spearow, who just used Leer.
"Damn it's lowering your defense, blind it with Mud Shot!" I commanded. Rena shot mud at the ground and it flew up and cut of Spearow's view. "Now Scratch again"
She ran forward, only to see that Spearow wasn't there.
'Where'd you go' she said worriedly
'Aerial assault' it screeched again before dive bombing from the sky and hitting Rena with more Fury Attack's.
'Prey always loses' It said as it continued the assault, until Rena pushed him away and used Absorb.
'What?' it questioned
'I think that's about enough' Rena said. Spearow looked at her only to freeze it place for a second, her look was piercing through him.
"Oh boy, she's in her mood" I noted
'Doesn't matter, you can't hit what you can't catch' It stated before flying up.
Before I could think of anything, she used Mud Shot right under her to send herself flying towards Spearow.
'The predator has become the prey' she coldly said before using Scratch and sending him back to earth.
"Use Mud Shot to send yourself at it and finish it" I ordered and with that she shot herself down towards Spearow at high speeds, crashed into him and created a cloud of dust. When it cleared up, I saw Spearow laying there unconscious and Rena standing there.
'I defeated him Eddy' she said
"Good job Rena" I complimented "Pokeball go"
I threw the pokeball and hit Spearow, who was sucked in and captured without a problem. With that I acquired my third party member.
I was outside the pokemon center beside Mount Moon after healing everyone and I let out Spearow.
'So you caught me'
"Hi there Spearow, I'm Eddy" I pointed to myself. "This is Firaga and Rena" He looked at both.
"I checked what the pokedex said about you, you're pretty strong for a pokemon in this area. You're as strong as Firaga and Rena" He smirked at that comment. "And after looking at your data I've decided to name you Predator, how do you like the sound of that?"
His eyes gleamed and he smiled 'It's perfect and with you I'll become stronger and find stronger prey'
"Alright then welcome to the team" Just then I heard an old man walking out of the center all happy and saying "I can't believe somebody bought it, yes"
"Wonder what that is about, oh well" With that we entered Mount Moon. After wandering around, I realized that I don't have a map of the cave.
"Oh crap, I'm gonna be lost and it's kinda dark"
"Suspicious men are in the cave, what about you?" a voice said behind me
"HOLY SHIT!" I turned around to see it was Jon. "What the hell man, you scared the crap outta me"
"I couldn't help it, hey want to battle, I just got two new pokemon" he happily said
"Sure why not, I got a new one too" I tossed out Predator.
'Alright let's fight'
"I can't believe this old man sold me something this rare, GO" he tossed out his pokemon and I was shock at what I saw. All I could do was drop to the floor and laugh like crazy.
"Hahahaha, a Magikarp, really that's your rare pokemon, you can find that thing anywhere"
"What no way, that old man lied to me" he looked at his pokedex and his face fell. "Crap, well anyways were still going to fight"
"Alright use Fury Attack" I ordered. Magikarp was hit a few times before it fainted.
Jon just looked forward. "Return, Go" he tossed out another pokemon and this time I was shock from a bad surprise. What I saw was a little orange chick.
"Where'd you get a Torchic?" I asked
"I traded a Clefairy to a girl for him and he is strong, use Ember" he was right it was fast and it hit hard.
"Dammit, use Pursuit" Predator shot forward surrounded by dark energy.
"Take the hit and finish him with Scratch" Torchic stood its ground and was only pushed back a bit, then retaliated with Scratch knocking out Predator.
"Damn, return, go Rena" I sent her out
"Return and go Bulbasaur" "Crap he's at an advantage" I thought
'I'll do my best' Rena use Mud Shot
'You're going to have to do better than that' Bulbasaur said as he dodged and used Vine Whip and sent Rena flying. She slowly got back up. 'Well, you're stronger then I thought no matter'
'That hurt' Rena said
"Keep your distance" I thought it would work.
"That's not going to work" Jon said "Vine Whip" Bulbasaur vine ended up reaching Rena from across the area and knocking her out.
"Wow that's long" I said
"That's what she said" Both of them replied before he returned Bulbasaur.
"Go" we both said sending out our fire types. "Use Scratch" and both pokemon ran forward and Scratch each other.
"Dodge and use Peck"
His Torchic ducked under Firaga's attack and hit him hard.
"Now Focus Energy and Peck again"
"Try and counter it" I asked, but to no avail.
Torchic struck first and good, Firaga was knocked out. I was shocked.
"How'd we lose" I wondered. I can't believe I had lost a battle.
"Doesn't matter, I won Ah ha ha Ah ha ha ha ha" he laughed
I paid him and we went back to the center to heal. My face was still in a state of disappointed shock. I thought to myself "I'm going to have to work harder; I'm not going to lose again"
"So what are you doing still in the area" I asked
"I ran into Salem (think the black cat from Sabrina The Teenage Witch, but not the same personality) and we decided to train before going through the mountain"
"Really he's here too, oh yeah, what was that about suspicious men earlier?" I asked
"There's some weird group of guys in the cave looking for something" he answered
"Huh, well we'll leave them be" Just then Salem came in. "Yo man, long time no see"
This is Salem; he is my age, shorter than me, but taller than Jon. He has black emo style hair, but isn't an emo. He had a white shirt with a light blue unbutton short slave collar shirt over that. Black pants with blue running shoes.
"Hey you're here too, cool. So did you get through Brock?" ha asked
I nodded and smiled. "What about you? How many pokemon do you have?" I asked
"Yup, but I had to do a lot of training, since I only have one, I couldn't find anything I wanted to catch, so I only used this guy" he said as he released his starter. What I saw looked like a bigger version of a Charmander.
"You have a Charmeleon, damn mine's still a Charmander" I commented
"Yeah, his name is Aphirex, wait, he had another Charmander?"
"Yeah, here he is" I released Firaga and he looked up to see Charmeleon.
"WHAT? He had a Shiny?" he asked. I just nodded and smirked.
'So he let you go' Aphirex said
'Of course, he wasn't going to keep me there forever, just wish I had a better trainer' Firaga replied 'And why are you a Charmeleon and I'm not?"
'Train more' he replied
"Well now that we're done with introduction, let's get going through the mountain" I announced
We traveled through Mount Moon for a good while, battling trainers and Zubats! Too many Zubats, I HATE Zubats. This continued until we ran into a Clefairy.
"Aww, it's so cute" I said. I got its data on my pokedex, but then, it just jump at me and grabbed my goggle's from around my neck and ran off.
"Oh no way you little Shit" I yelled chasing after it. I'm not going to go into full detail, but those goggles are important to me. I've had them since I was little and always wore them. Jon and Salem knew how important they were to me and chased after as well.
After chasing it through the cave it came to a stop. I was about to take them back, when I notice these guys in black uniforms with a big red R in the middle, digging around. Behind them was a cage filled with Clefairy's.
I looked down at the little Clefairy. "Oh you were leading us to your friends to help right" I stated.
'Yes' It nodded and handed me back my goggles.
I put them back on, turned to Jon and Salem and nodded.
"So were going to fight them and help the Clefairy's, alright no problem" Jon exclaimed
"Nice, means more training for us" Salem said
We stepped forward; I coughed and got their attention.
"Hey run along now, we're on official business, don't interfere" one of them said
"Does your business involve trapping pokemon" I asked
"Hey don't you know who we are, were Team Rocket" a rocket told me
Jon and Salem seemed to freeze into place.
"Who?" I really don't know.
"How do you not know" Salem asked. "Their a group that use pokemon for crimes and such"
"We should leave" Jon said. Wow Jon's scared, thought I'd never see the day.
I looked at the Clefairy beside me and then at the ones in the cages, they were frightened. "I know this is going to cause trouble, but who cares" I thought. I stepped forward.
"Let them go" I declared
"So you're going to fight us" a rocket said. "Boo" one of them yelled at the Clefairy's. They became more frightened.
"That's it" Anger filled my voice as I pulled my goggles and put them on to cover my eyes. Jon and Salem knew this meant I was serious.
"Damn you really are stupid, oh well can't leave you to do this yourself" Salem said
"Look what we got, two idiots and a midget" a rocket said
Yeah, one thing, don't make fun of Jon's height. (He's actually like this in real life, just not as bad)
Jon turned completely red at this comment "WHAT DID YOU SAY ABOUT MY HEIGHT, THAT'S IT I'M IN" he shouted
"Good then let's get started" I said before releasing Firaga, Rena, and Predator. Salem released Aphirex and Jon released his Bulbasaur, Torchic, and Magikarp.
"Ha you're going to fight with a Magikarp, what a loser" a rocket taunted. They released Rattata's, Sandshrew's, two Koffing's, and Zubat's.
My eyes narrowed towards the Zubat's. "Those go first" With that Firaga, Torchic, and Aphirex released a barrage of Ember's at the Zubat's. The ones that got out of the way were attack by Predator who released a fury of Pecks, Fury Attacks, and Pursuits. In no time all Zubat's were gone.
"That's better" I let out a deep breath
The Sandshrew's were easily taken care of by Bulbasaur's Vine Whip's, Razor Leaf's and Rena's Absorb. The real problems were the Koffing's and Rattata's. That's right, Rattata's were a problem. They were fast little bugger's.
"Ok guys, Predator, Torchic, Rena, and Bulbasaur are going to deal with the Rattata's, the rest deal with the two Koffing's" when we looked at the Koffing's we saw that one of them had just sent Magikarp flying.
"You sent him out why?" I asked
"I thought he could use some experience" Jon replied
"Whatever, focus their pushing us back" They were, damn Rattata's and their Quick Attack's. Giving out orders for Ember's, Metal Claw's, and such I noticed Torchic seemed to be getting a bit angry. "Nah, my imagination"
'THAT'S IT" It screamed. "Ok maybe not" I gulped.
"Torchic use Scratch" Jon ordered. Torchic started just destroying them and then it was enveloped by a white light. It grew larger and when then it faded, he looked completely different. He was standing on two strong looking legs, he had grown arms, and some of his feathers changed from orange to yellow.
"Wow a Combusken, awesome" he said looking at his pokedex. "Alright use Double Kick"
'Much better' Combusken said before kicking the crap out of all the Rattata's. Just then we heard the sound of a cage breaking. "Yup don't get it angry" I made a note.
"What was that" a grunt asked. Next thing they saw was the Rattata's and a Koffing being tackled by the herd of Clefairy's.
"What broke them out?" we looked and saw Magikarp there exhausted and he did not look happy.
He turned his attention towards the Koffing that knock him away. 'You hit me before right? Here's payback' Koffing just floated there, terrified. Magikarp jumped. 'FLAIL' it screamed before rapidly moving and hitting Koffing hard, knocking it out.
The Rockets just stared, before returning their pokemon. "Let's get out of here" they screamed before running off.
"Wow, ah, I'm not underestimating that thing again" I said
"And you said I was stupid for buying it from the old man" Jon said
"You could've caught one anywhere" Salem yelled back
"Whatever, we won" I said. I walked up to the Clefairy's. "You guys ok" I asked
'Yes we are thank you' it said nodding. I just knew what it was saying.
"Any idea why they were digging here" I asked. They pointed in the direction of this pile. In that pile there were stones and a weird rock.
"What are these?"
"Their moon stones and that's a fossil" Salem answered.
"Can we take some?" I asked the Clefairy's. They nodded.
'Of course'
Jon and I each took a Moon Stone, while Salem took the fossil.
"Now there's one problem" Salem said
"What?"
"We're lost; we ran so far in, I don't know where we are" I said. A Clefairy tugged on my pants, I looked down and it was pointing.
"I think they know how to get out"
After like an hour or something we were lead out of the cave.
"Thanks see you guys around" I called to the Clefairy's.
'No thank you' they waved back at us.
"Alright time to head to Cerulean City" Salem said
"Nah, I'm going to stay and train. I'll just camp out here tonight" I said
"Alright then see you around" with that Jon and Salem left.
I let everyone out. "Alright guys were going to train and camp out here tonight" I told them.
'Alright, more training, sounds good' Predator said
'Yay, we get to see the stars' Rena said excitedly
Just then Firaga jumped up and smacked me on the head.
"OW, what the hell"
'You mean rather then spend our night in a place that will heal use after a that long trip and battle, you want to spend time outside, were we could be attacked. You Idiot' he hit me again.
"That's it come here" I said before we started to fight a little. That wasn't my smartest idea.
Well we got a new teammate and we ran into a friend. Also saved some pokemon and met up with Team Rocket, not a bad a chapter.
