Hello again everyone. I hope you enjoy this chapter
I sighed. "I can't believe you guys managed to convice me to doing this."
Jayce smiled. "Of course. I'm gonna be a master of two things, Pokemon and convincing people to do what they don't want to do."
Oak laughed. "What a great dream!"
"T-thank you professor."
He ushered us into a room where three Poke balls rested.
"Well, here we are! These Pokemon were hand picked for trainers just like you." He smile. "Take your time, your first Pokemon is very important."
Jayce scanned over the Pokemon. "Which one is Squirtle?"
Oak shook his head. "This time we decided to switch up the Pokemon."
Jayce looked concerned. "What are they?"
"Correction, WHAT is it." Oak picked up a Poke ball and then threw it and shouted "Go Voltorb!" Out of nowhere a ball shaped creature appeared, with resemblance to a Poke ball.
"Voltorb, vol!"
Jayce looked at the Pokemon. "Hmm... a Voltorb. An Electric Type. Yes! This is a perfect choice!"
Oak nodded. "I'm glad you like it. Here is your Pokedex and 5 Poke balls."
"Thanks Proffessor. I promise to take good care of Voltorb."
Oak nodded again, "Good. Treat it well and it'll grow."
Jayce looked at me. "Well, I'd love to stay, but I need to start my Pokemon journey." He dashed out of the building at lightning speed.
"So what's mine?" I asked.
Oak frowned. "I'm sorry to say that your friend took the last Pokemon."
I sweat dropped then said "Why did you ask me to become a Pokemon trainer if you don't even have a Pokemon for me?"
"Relax. I still have one left"
"But you said..."
"I said I have no Pokemon left, however I have a Pokemon I just caught a while back. It's untrained and still too inexperienced for you to be able to command it well." He picked up a Poke ball and threw it. "Go Poke ball!" In a flash, a Pokemon appeared.
"Vulpix vul!"
I looked at it, totally entrance. It had sleek brown fur, slightly matching it's eyes. It wasn't very big, but one of it's most striking feature was it's tail. It was separated into six different sub tails, and each curled neatly at the tip.
"That is a Vulpix. It's a Fire Type revered for it's beautiful tail and strong destructive power." Oak handed me it's Poke ball and the other things. He stared out the window, gazing down at the town. "Giving you your Vulpix brings back good memories, A trainer who had just turned 10 really wanted a Pokemon, but was late and no Pokemon were left for him. I felt bad so I gave him a Pokemon I had just caught to him." He paused. "Of course, this Pokemon was untamed and proved to be a challenge. However, with time this Pokemon became friends with the trainer." He smiled. "That trainer is collecting badges for the Pokemon League in the Johto Region." His phone rang. He picked it up and on screen a boy with a cap and spiky jet black hair appeared on screen. "Hello Ash. What a surprise, we were just talking about you."
"Hello proffessor" Ash replied. "Who's we?"
He ushered me over to him. "This is Tempest, she's starting out as a Pokemon trainer. In fact, a few moments ago, I gave her a Pokemon."
"Cool. Nice to meet you Tempest."
"Oh. Nice to meet you too... uh... Ash?"
He grinned. "Yup, that's my name! So what Pokemon did you get fro-"
CRASH!
Me and Oak turn around to see what happened. Vulpix, whether by accident or not, knocked over a Poke ball, releasing a Pokemon.
"Pigeotto!" It cried out.
"Oh no!" Oak said. "That Pigeotto could wreck my lab!"
I acted fast, and pulled out the Pokedex (Oak gave me a quick lesson how to use it) and pointed it at Pigeotto.
PING
PIGEOTTO, THE BIRD POKEMON. THIS POKEMON IS KNOW FOR STRONGLY PROTECTING IT'S TERRITORY. IT WILL PECK ANY INTRUDERS.
Great, I thought. Just how are we supposed to get it back into it's Poke ball.
Oak answered saying "Tempest, use your Vulpix to fight it!"
"Are you crazy! I thought that Vulpix won't listen to anyone."
Oak nodded. "Yes, but in dire situations, even the most wild of Pokemon will listen."
"Uh, ok. I guess it's worth a try. Vulpix, please help us!"
Vulpix barely even noticed her. It yawned and fell to sleep
"Vulpix... come on! We need your help."
"Vul" It replied.
"What do you mean you don't want to?"
"Vulpix vul."
"Too tired? Come on, can you at least try to..."
I gasped. I noticed I could actually make out what it was saying.
Oak nodded. "I'm impressed you can understand what it's saying." He looked at the Pigeotto, perched on the window. It was pecking at the window, trying to break it. "Oh no! It's trying to escape!"
I looked at the window, nearly broken. Vulpix, annoyed by the sound unleashed a burst of flames at the Pigeotto. It hit square on, knocking it off balance. It fell from the window, and hit the floor hard.
Oak looked impressed. "That was Vulpix's Ember attack."
I too was impressed. I couldn't believe its attack packed that much power. The Pigeotto quickly recovered and now saw Vulpix as a threat. It began to beat it's wings quickly, causing the wind to pick up heavily.
Oak gasped. "Oh no, it's using Gust!
Vulpix stood it's ground, but the wind proved to be too much, sending it flying at the wall. "VULPIX!" I shouted. It got up, but it's whole body shook violently.
"Vul" it said weakly.
I turned to Oak. "W-what can we do?"
He sighed. "Not much. We can only hope Vulpix can defeat Pigeotto."
I gawked at him. "Are you crazy? Vulpix can barely stand, let alone battle."
Oak smiled. "Never underestimate a Pokemon."
Vulpix mustered it's power and used another Ember, but Pigeotto used Gust to blow the flames away.
I didn't know what to do. My very first Pokemon was being beat by another, and Oak simply stood there, watching the battle. Then I remembered what he said. In dire situations, a wild Pokemon will listen to a trainer.
I breathed, "Please work." I stood my ground then said "Vulpix, use Ember!
Vulpix looked at me, confused at what I was asking. However, I brought my game face and it knew I wasn't joking. It steadied itself then used Ember. Pigeotto used Gust again and the flames blew away. I let out a breath of relief. "It... listened to me?" I couldn't believe it, so to check I once again said "Vulpix, use Ember!" It again used Ember, but Pigeotto just blew it away with gust.
Oak shook his head. "You know Tempest, Vulpix has other attacks."
"Oh." I replied. "Like what?
"Well..." he thought. "Tail Whip and Quick Attack"
"Ok. Vulpix, use Quick Attack!"
"Vulpix!" it replied. It dashed forward at a fast pace, and slammed into Pigeotto, catching it off guard.
"Pigeotto!" It cried out in pain.
"Now use Tail Whip" Using it's tail, it slapped Pigeotto. I sweat dropped. "Um.. Professor Oak. Just what did Tail Whip accomplish?"
"It lowers the defence of the Pokemon it's used on. So using a Quick Attack will do much more damage now."
"Cool, guess I'll go with that." Pigeotto got back on it's legs, shaking as hard as Vulpix was.
"This will be close" Oak said.
I waited a moment, thinking of a strategy. Then it hit me. "Vulpix, use Ember!" It fired ember at Pigeotto, but the bird had just enough strength to pull of a Gust.
"Ah, so close!" said proffessor Oak.
I smiled. "It's not over. Now, while it's recovering! Vulpix, use Quick Attack!" It dashed as fast as it could at Pigeotto, and slammed into, causing the Pigeotto to fly towards the wall. It hit the wall and let out a painful yelp. It tried to get up again, but it's energy was spent, and it fainted
Well, that's it for chapter four. I hope you liked the battle, many more are to be followed
