Huh when you walk through a forest in 100 degree weather its freaking hot and Horrible. Go Figure
I was walking through BlackBerry forest and I was sweating my ass off. After walking through a particularly rough patch of vines I heard a sound above me. I looked up and saw a bird Pokémon. I checked it on my Pokedex.
Pidgey is a Flying Pokémon. Among all theFlyingPokémon, it is the gentlest and easiest to capture. A perfect target for the beginningPokémon Trainerto test his Pokémon's skills. Pidgey'sGustpower creates tornadoes. It also has aSand-Attack.
"Huh it sounds like the perfect Pokémon."
I sent out Squrtile and told him to attack. Squrtile used a water gun and blasted the pidger or pidgey or whatever the hell it was out of the tree.
"Pidgey Pidgey"
"Squrtile use water gun again"
Once again my new found friend hit his water attack.
"Ok what the hell do I do now"?
"Squrtile" it said as it pointed to my belt.
"Oh yeah"
I pulled out the ball and threw it right at the Pidgey. It knocked it right on the head and transformed it into a beam of light and sucked it into the ball. It wiggled for a minute and then it stopped.
Wow that was anti climatic.I picked up the pokeball and checked its moves on my Pokedex. Gust, Sand Attack and tackle Ehh good enough for me.
I crawled through about three more miles of brush and finally found the Pokémon center. From here I only had to walk a couple more miles and I would get to the first city. As I walked through the double doors I noticed a girl in the corner talking to a Spoink. I gave my Pokémon to the Nurse and walked over to her. She was about 5'4 and wore a bandanna with a red collared shirt and pants. She looked about 14. She was Beautiful.
"Hello there" I said making conversation.
"Hi" she said as she glanced at me.
I looked at her spoink and checked it up on my Pokedex.
Spoink, the Bounce Pokémon. Spoink bounces about on its tail. The pearl upon its head helps to magnify its psychic powers. If a Spoink loses its pearl, it grows extremely tired.
"So are you a Pokémon trainer?" I asked
"No she said, I'm a Coordinator"
"What the hell is that?"
"Its like instead of focusing on power alone we have to focus on both power and beauty".
I bet there aren't many male coordinators
"That sounds cool sorry I didn't catch your name."
"It's April you"
"Tyler"
The TV that some guys in the corner were watching went to a surprise bulletin that said that Kevin, the league champion, was going to be back in the area after being in a whole other region for the past year.
April's eyes went wide when she heard that.
"Oh my god he is so cool. I heard he took down a dragonite with one move."
So she likes strong trainers.
I could see from her stuff she didn't look like she was going anywhere anytime soon. So with this knowledge in hand I left to catch a strong Pokémon. I walked outside and saw a gigantic thunderbolt a little left of me. I ran through the wood looking for whatever It was and what I saw took my breath away. It was a single Pikachu and it had just taken down a whole colony of beedril single handily. I checked it on my Pokedex
Pikachu, the Mouse Pokémon. It can generate electric attacks from the electric pouches located in both of its cheeks. If it looses crackling power from its cheeks it is being wary.
It sure as hell looked wary right now. I approached very cautiously I wanted to impress a girl not get killed. Once I was close enough to him that he could sense me he looked over already preparing his attack.
"Stooooop" I yelled diving to the ground.
He stooped but he didn't seem any more trusting.
"Hey Pikachu"
"Pika, pika"
I noticed something strange about him. He was wearing something around his neck. Before I could see what it was it warned me with another snarl. I was just about to ask me to battle when the beedril came back it jumped to get back into the fight and unleashed another powerful thunderbolt. It knocked out a pretty good portion of the beedril but there was too many and the thousands of poison stings were taking its tool.
"Dammit Squrtile and Pidgey help out Pikachu".
Water gun and gust drove away the remaining Beedril, as an after thought I threw a pokeball at the biggest beedril there and caught it. While this was happening I ran and picked up Pikachu. He tried to Shock me but he was too weak. I ran through the forest and made it back to the Pokémon center. As Nurse Joy took the Pikachu I sat down and found out I was really worried about the poor thing.
April came up to me and put an arm around me. Granted this made me a little happier but I was still worried. After what seemed like an eternity Nurse Joy came and told me he would be ok. I asked if I could see him. I was led into the room and saw him. He was already standing and seemed to be agitated.
"Buddy your going to have to rest."
His ears perked up and started chewing at his cords. He started running toward the front door. A Chansey tried to stop him but he charged up volt tackle and she seemed not to want to mess with him. I followed him outside and for the third time today they were back.
"Listen Pikachu if you want to end this you have to listen to me".
He ignored me.
This ungrateful bastard is gonna get himself killed
He fought with agility and thunder but was unable to see the poison stings being fired at him from behind.
Dammit I'm going to regret this
I jumped in front of the poison stings and fell with a thud to the ground. Amazingly they had gotten stuck in my hoodie and hadn't gone in to my skin. I plucked them out and saw Pikachu looking at me.
"Will you let me help you?"
"Pika, pika" he said and nodded.
I sent out Pidgey and Squrtile and had a plan.
"Pidgey use gust to send away any further poison stings and Squrtile draw there attention use water gun over there heads".
The water guns soaked them and there poison wasn't working. They tried to just attack with there stingers and couldn't get past my Pidgey.
"Pikachu electrify them"
He did a massive thunderbolt and because of the water it spread all over them and the ones that didn't fall retreated badly injured.
"Oh my god are you alright" April said as she ran over. Pikachu was looking pretty proud of himself and I couldn't blame him.
"Yeah I'm fine what about you guys". I said looking at my Pokémon.
"Pika, pika" he nodded.
"Squrtile, Squrtile" Squrtile gave me the thumbs up.
"Pidgey, Pidgey" he hooted.
I walked over to Pikachu and hung out my hand.
"Hey you want to come with me dude."
He looked at me and pointed at my belt.
What does that mean?
"I think he wants to battle you" said Nurse Joy who had apparently come out during the battle.
"Fine"
Pikachu jumped back into battling position. I looked at my Pokémon, a water type and two flying types.
Shit I'm so screwed, Might as well just use my strongest.
"Squirtle get in there"
Squirtle jumped into the battle ready and didn't seem to be nervous. I checked all of Squirtle moves on my Pokedex.
Squirtle. This Tiny Turtle Pokémon draws its long neck into its shell to launch incredible water attacks with amazing range and accuracy. The blasts can be quite powerful.
"Water gun Bubble Beam and Withdraw and Tackle ok use Bubble Beam"
Squirtle used BubbleBeam and Pikachu dodged. Pikachu retorted with a powerful thunderbolt.
"ok Squirtle dodge it"
Squrtile wasn't fast enough to get out of the way and retreated into his shell as he did this my Pokedex vibrated.
Congratulations your Squirtle learned Iron Defense
The thunderbolt bounced off his shell and went upwards into the trees.
"Yeah now Squirtle use water gun"
He hit a direct shot and sent Pikachu flying. Pikachu got up and seemed to be even more focused and driven. In my peripheral vision I could see April sitting on her bike watching me. With a little more determination I told Squirtle to attack. Pikachu dodged and sent a tremendous thunderbolt toward Squirtle.
"Ok, Squirtle use Iron Defense"
Once again Squirtle dove into his shell and the thunderbolt bounced off his shell and went towards April.
"April look out"
She dove out of the way and the thunderbolt hit her bike and pretty much destroyed the poor thing.
Holy crap this is my chance
"Squirtle use water guns take him out"
Squirtle used the most powerful water gun I have ever seen and it hit Pikachu head on. Pikachu was to tired to fight more and he fell down.
I know what to do this time.
"Pokeball go"
It bounced off his head and converted him into energy and sucked him into the ball. It wriggled for a bit stopped and then wriggled more until finally it stopped for the last time.
"Hell yeah I captured Pikachu"
"Yeah and you destroyed my bike"
April looked fairly pissed.
"Uh about that I'm sorry and I owe you big tim……"
"You better believe you freaking owe me. You know how much that thing cost"
Tyler if you have learned anything from your mother just let her yell herself out and then apologize
"So if you think you can just walk away you are sorely mistaken".
"I'm really Sorry April"
"Sorry, Sorry is that it."
Why the hell did that not work?
I looked at the rode that led to Irene town and came up with a plan.
"Hey April what's wrong with your Spoink"
"What do you mean" she looked at her pokeballs and I blew past her and started running. Hey it's probably not the most mature thing I have ever done but hey a mad girl is a freaking scary girl.
She caught up to me grabbed me by my shirt and pulled me and i slipped and fell.
I figured If she wasn't above chasing me down like a dog then maybe I should just end this now.
"Listen we have to end this"
"I know and I know how we will".
I'm not gonna enjoy this
"OK what"
"I am going to follow "OK what"
"I am going to follow you around until you pay me back"
This sounded bad but hey she was pretty. But by that smirk i think that was the only thing i was gonna enjoy about this companionship
"Huh fine" I sighed
"Ok where to first" she said
"Irene town"
"Well let's go" she said walking ahead of me.
I saw the lights from the nearby city up ahead and sighed. My first gym battle was up ahead. So with three new Pokémon, a new companion, and my nerves I headed up ahead into the city.
