Episode 2: Enter N

Once I stepped onto Route 1 with Swordslash, Cheren and Bianca were following us. Professor Juniper was right in the tall grass.

"Professor, you don't have a Pokemon with you," yelled Bianca.

"No worries, Bianca," said Professor Juniper. "I'll show you how to catch a Pokemon."

"Well, I have caught Pokemon before," I said. "But I'll watch anyway for the heck of it."

"Wait… you caught Pokemon before?" asked Swordslash, who was very surprised.

"Of course," I replied

Afterwards, a wild battle started. A wild Patrat had appeared, and so Professor Juniper sent out her Miccino, and then weakened it a little using Tackle before throwing a Pokeball…

…

…

…

…

…and catching the Patrat on the spot.

"And so, this is how you catch Pokemon, said Professor Juniper. "But not all Pokeballs are successful. Sometimes, damaging the Pokemon will work. If all else fails, try using moves that induce status problems like Sleep, Burn, and Poison. Good luck with your journey." And with that, Professor Juniper was off.

"Let's see who can catch the most Pokemon," said Bianca cheerfully. Cheren agreed on that, and so did I.

"So, what do we do?" I asked.

"Whoever catches the most Pokemon wins," replied Bianca.

"Don't you think that's kinda risky?"

"Nope. Just for the fun of it."

And so, Cheren and Bianca decided to catch some Pokemon. I turned to Swordslash. "Let's say we go into the tall grass and search for some wild Pokemon," I said.

"Okay. We can throw Pokeballs to catch some wild Pokemon," Swordslash replied.

And so, we were off. Besides, we have got to catch the most Pokemon before Cheren and Bianca catch more wild Pokemon than we can catch. So, we went into this tall grass. Suddenly, we were startled by a female Patrat.

"Get off of my territory!" the Patrat yelled.

"No. We are going to catch you," I yelled back.

"Bring it on, then!" the Patrat said.

Swordslash started off with a Tackle attack, and Patrat tried going after Swordslash, only to be countered every time by Swordslash himself.

"Adam! Throw the Pokeball! Quickly!" yelled Swordslash. I obeyed, and, in an instant, Patrat was caught.

"Gotcha, Patrat," I said triumphly.

"Dang it! You caught me! Alright, I'll join you," said the Patrat.

And so, I nicknamed the Patrat Scout. We then encountered wild Pokemon while I chucked Pokeballs at wild Pokemon. When every Pokeball was used up, we proceeded to Accumula Town, where Cheren and Bianca were waiting.

Basically, I won the contest to see who could catch the most wild Pokemon. Just then, we encountered Professor Juniper.

"Hey there, Adam. Glad you made it this far. Now let's explore the Pokemon Center and show you the features," Professor Juniper said.

I went in the Pokemon Center, and Bianca was following. I sweat dropped as she followed me. We went up to the desk where a Nurse Joy was at.

"This is where you heal your Pokemon," said Professor Juniper. "Adam, you should heal your Pokemon." I did so, and then, we went to a PC who was nearby. "And this is where you store your Pokemon. You can also make your Pokemon hold items in the PC. When you have six Pokemon and if you catch another Pokemon, they go into the PC."

"But why does it say 'Someone's PC,'" Bianca asked.

"I don't know, but we'll get to that later. Now let's have a look at the shop," said Professor Juniper. We followed her to the PokeMart. "This store right here is where trainers can buy items," said Professor Juniper. "They have useful items like Pokeballs and Potions."

"Awesome," said Bianca cheerfully. "I'm going to buy some items. I wonder what I'll buy."

Swordslash and I both sweat dropped. "And there goes Bianca again," I sighed.

"Yeah, always in a cheerful mood as always," Swordslash agreed.

Just then, we heard some people talking about some speech going on.

"Hey, some speech is going on," said a guy.

"Yeah, let's go see what it is," said the other guy.

And with that, they walked away.

"Hey, where are you going," I called out to the guys, but they ignored me.

"I think it's best if we go see what's going on," said Swordslash.

Just then, Professor Juniper said, "Adam, it will be nice if you buy some items."

I looked at Swordslash. "Swordslash, I'm counting on you to once again find out what the heck is going on," I said.

"Hey, don't worry about it," Swordslash said. And then, he ran off.

"Now I'll have to buy some items," I said as I went in the Pokemon Center.

=Meanwhile…=

Swordslash's POV

I was puzzled as to where the heck am I supposed to go. Then, I saw these flags… and there were people gathering? What the heck was going on? I went into the crowd, and then, those grunts (or at least I thought they were grunts) were putting up some signs.

"Attention everyone," a voice boomed into the crowd. "I am Ghetsis, one of Team Plasma's Seven Sages."

Team Plasma? What the heck was this guy talking about? Then, I noticed one of the flags and went up to it. On it was a shield with a P in the middle of it. Then, I knew it. Team Plasma was holding this speech. But what kind of speech? Just then, some guy I did not know took a good look at me. Crap. I have been spotted! I rushed back to where I was, and so, Ghetsis continued on with his speech.

"As you know, Pokemon are not good. They are bad. Why? Because they are being enslaved," said Ghetsis.

"Pokemon are being enslaved?" asked some people in question. I could tell that Ghetsis is doing something that is not good.

"Yes, Pokemon are being enslaved. So, what I want you to do is to release your Pokemon so that they can be free again," Ghetsis continued.

"Release my Pokemon?" asked more people at the same time. I was right. Ghetsis was doing something evil.

"That way," said Ghetsis, "we will create a world where people and Pokemon are separated. And that is the end of my speech."

And so, the speech was over. I recalled the words. Releasing Pokemon. Creating a world where people and Pokemon were separated. I knew what I had to do. I have to warn Adam so that he will know what is going on.

=Back at the Pokemon Center=

Adam's POV

I finally finished my shopping. I bought a ton of Pokeballs and stuff. That was when Swordslash ran up to me looking worried.

"Adam, some guy named Ghetsis is trying to trick some trainers into releasing their Pokemon," Swordslash said.

"Which organization," I asked.

"Team Plasma."

"Team Plasma, huh? Well, we have got to stop them."

Then, someone stopped us. "Hold it," he yelled.

"Who are you?" asked Cheren.

"I am N," said the mysterious guy. "I am the king of Team Plasma. I wish to create a world where people and Pokemon are separated."

"Slow down, will you," asked Cheren, who only heard "blah blah blah blah." "I can't understand a single word you're saying."

"Silence!" yelled N. Then, he beat up Cheren and then sent out his Purrloin and N threatened Cheren with a Scratch to the face.

"What do you think you're doing? Stay away from Cheren," I yelled.

"And you be quiet too, whoever the heck you are," N replied.

"My name is Adam."

"Well, Adam, let me get this straight. You're no trainer. You don't deserve to be one."

"Well, I do!"

=The battle will be taken from Swordslash's POV=

Swordslash's POV

Okay, seriously? His name was N? And he is the king of Team Plasma? Anyway, the argument was getting intense.

"Besides, I am a Pokemon Champ," said Adam.

"Pokemon Champ? More like Pokemon Chump," replied N. Nobody makes fun of my master.

"Well, I raise my Pokemon with love and trust."

"No you don't!"

"Yes I do!"

"Don't you dare lie to me!"

Okay, now I'm mad! Did N just insult Adam? Well, I wasn't going to have it! The Pokemon do not deserve to be released just because some damn organization forced people to. Quickly, I charged into battle.

"Swordslash, what are you doing?" asked Adam.

"I'm going to battle N," I replied.

"Is that too dangerous?" Adam asked.

"This is for the Pokemon that are going to be released," I replied.

"Okay then, I guess it's worth a shot," said Adam.

And so, an epic battle began. N's Purrloin was going bonkers and sent its claws at me. I dodged and detached my scalchop, ready to fight. I focused on my opponent before lashing at Purrloin with my scalchop. It hit Purrloin directly, and Purrloin hit me back. Then, I swung at Purrloin with my scalchop again, and Purrloin lashed out at me with its claws, and both attacks collided at once. I then used Tackle, which hit Purrloin. Then, I dodged another Scratch attack and…

…

…

…

…

… used Tackle and landed a critical hit on Purrloin. N's Purrloin's eyes were swirly as it collapsed.

"NO! NO! NO! I LOST! DAMMIT!" yelled N.

"Heh. That was easy," I said.

As N recalled his Purrloin, he turned to Adam and said, "Don't get too excited just because you beat me. I will make people release their Pokemon, and I will create this new world!"

Then, N fled.

=Adam Time!=

Adam's POV

After N left, I walked over to Cheren. "Are you okay, Cheren," I asked.

"Yeah, thanks for asking, Adam," Cheren replied.

"But what the heck was Team Plasma doing trying to trick those people into releasing their Pokemon," I asked.

"I just don't know. There is only one way to find out."

And so, Bianca arrived, having missed the action. Well, it didn't matter anyway.

"You should have seen it, Bianca. Adam took out N like a boss," Cheren told Bianca.

"Well, I'm quite certain that Team Plasma is up to no good," Bianca replied.

"Well, let's get going," I said. And so, Cheren and Bianca went to Route 2, with me following. But as soon as I stepped into Route 2, my Xtranceiver rang. It was my mom.

"Hello, dear," said my mom. "I have something for you, but I'm on my way right now." And then the call ended, and my mom appeared on Route 2. "Hello, Adam," said my mom. "Here are some Running Shoes." And so, I was given some Running Shoes. My mom told me that by holding the B button, I can run instead of walk. And then, my mom left.

And so, I continued through Route 2. I did some trainer battles. Why? I got spotted by a Youngster named Jimmy.

"Hey," said Jimmy. "Fight my awesome Patrat!"

"Oh no you don't," I said. And with that, Swordslash battled Patrat. The resulting battle had Swordslash still standing while Patrat was on the ground, eyes swirled.

"Dang!" yelled Jimmy.

I continued onward, until I found Bianca.

"Hey, let's battle," said Bianca.

"I have no time for this, Bianca. I got to move," I replied and tried to continue on.

"Pleaaaaaaaaaaaaaase? I trained my Pokemon to become stronger."

"Alright, fine! I'll battle you, dammit!"

And so, the battle began. I used Swordslash, and Bianca sent out her new Lilipup. In an instant, Swordslash used Water Gun. Lilipup's eyes were swirly as it collapsed. Bianca sent out Tepig. And, within a few seconds, Swordslash somehow won the battle because in a few hits, Tepig's eyes were swirly like Lilipup's as it collapsed as well. That meant I won.

"I lost, but that was a good match, Adam. I'll get stronger and battle you again," said Bianca. With that, she was off.

"What do we do now?" asked Swordslash.

"We battle the Gym Leader of this town," I said.

And with that, the two of us headed to Striaton City for the first gym fight that is ahead of us. But those damn Team Plasma grunts are telling people to release their Pokemon, and if we don't do something about those liars, we're screwed. Can we do that? Only time will tell.
