Hello again my loyal readers and welcome to the next episode of Kicking it in Kanto. Last time, the Pokémon professor of the kanto region, Sameul Oak and his assistant Tracey sketchit arrived at wayside school to introduce the students of Mrs. Jewels' class to the exciting and mysterious world of Pokémon. After a brief demonstration, Todd, Jenny, Maurecia, Dana and Myron were all chosen to travel to the kanto region in japan accompanied by their very first starter Pokémon. What adventures await these young children?
Episode 2:Battles in Pallet Town!
The screen zooms in on the kids from wayside school at the airport with their starter Pokémon outside of their poke balls to get some air. After biding their parents farewell, they head for the plane. However, they notice that someone was missing. Todd was nowhere to be seen.
"Has anyone seen todd? Asked a worried maurecia. Our flight is about to leave. I hope nothing bad has happened to him.
"Don't worry maurecia, I'm sure he's fine. Assured Dana. Maurecia continued to look about until they saw todd approaching their area. He was now dressed in a black shirt under a black jacket with two front pockets on each side and brown pants with red and white sneakers.
"Hey guys, I'm here!" Todd shouted as he ran to his friends. Sorry if I'm a little late. My mom wanted to pick out the perfect outfit for me before I left.
'Took ya long enough. Said Myron. We were just about to take off without ya."
"Hey Myron, why don't you take your Pokémon out? Todd asked as he noticed myron's Pokémon was the only not out.
"It just wants to stay inside and get some z's. Said Myron. I'm sure traveling all the way from japan makes it very tired." Suddenly, bubasaur had came out of its poke ball on its own.
"Bulba!" It shouted stretching out.
"Hey! You're not supposed to do that! Are you?" Myron asked confused.
"The truth is that bulbasaur hasn't been very obedient to Myron recently. Dana explained. Probably because it's been treating it more like a servant than a pet." She said as she shot a glare and Myron.
"Oh please, since when have I done that?" Asked Myron clueless of what she meant.
"Can I have flashback please?" Dana asked as the screen had changed back to Myron's house. All he did was sit around while he had his bulbasaur bring him snacks, drinks, etc.
"Hey! I thought I said grape! This is cherry!" Myron complained. Flashback over.
"Sorry, not ringing a bell." Myron said acting as if he didn't remember. Before Dana could say anything more, their plane was just called.
"Flight number 34 heading for kanto, japan, now boarding. I repeat, flight number 34 heading for kanto, japan now boarding. "
"That's our flight!" Said maurecia.
"Last one there is a rotten egg!" Shouted Myron as he dashed for the gate with his bulbasuar following close behind.
"Hey, no fair!" Said Jenny as she had ran after him with the other kids giving chase as well. After making it to the plane before the last call for boarding, the kids had strapped into their seats and had took off. Looking out the window, they could see their parents waving them good-bye wishing them well. Unfortunately, after seeing his parents leave his sight, he saw that maurecia was sitting right next to him.
"Hi todd." She said dreamily.
"Ah, you're sitting here?" Todd asked surprised.
"Well why not? Mrs. Jewels said that you'd have to travel all by yourself when we got to kanto, so I thought we should spend as much time together as we can. While she was staring dreamily at todd, a little porcupine had popped out of the top of her helmet. It's name was fuzzy. And it had a strong dislike for the love interest of his pet owner. Fuzzy had growled showing its teeth to him.
'I see you brought fluffy." Said a worried T odd as he had inched closer to the window.
"Well of course. I couldn't leave my cute little fluffy home all by himself while I went to japan. She said cuddling the porcupine. But don't worry, I promise I'll make sure that he doesn't bother you or your squirtle. He knows better know. Don't you? Don't you? She asked the porcupine in a baby like voice.
"Ugh, cut it with the baby talk before I hurl." Said todd's squirtle which was translated as a squritle, squirt
"I hear that, Personally, I think that dude's a bit selfish of his human. Said maurecia's charmander. He shoots his needles at anyone who comes close to her! You don't think that thing's a Pokémon do you?
"No clue." Replied squirtle. After several hours of flight, the plane finally reaches japan. Todd was releaved that it was nearly over because most of the flight there, he either had to deal with maurecia coming into close contact with him, or her porcupine trying to scratch, bite or stick him with one of its needles. After getting off the plane, they were greeted by a man in a suit who was holding up a sign that had their names written on it.
"Ah, so you're the new trainers from the U.S." Said the man.
"Trainers? What are trainers?" Asked Myron.
"The professor will explain everything to you. The man replied. Please, follow me. He said as he had lead the kids outside to a black car that was waiting for them outside the airport. Standing outside the car was the professor and tracy.
"Hello kids. Glad you could make it." Said the professor with a smile.
"Hello professor oak, Hi tracy. Said Dana. Is this where we begin our journey?"
"Not quite yet. Said the professor. You still need your proper tools before setting out. Hop in and we'll go to my lab to get you prepared. He continued as he had opened the door.
"Where is your lab anyway professor?" Asked jenny.
"In Pallet town. He answered. Every trainer who starts their journey in this region come see me to get their starting Pokémon. As the car rode off for pallet town, the professor had began explaining more about the bonds people have made with the Pokémon.
"You see, there are multiple areas that involve Pokémon that people partake in. The professor began. I am a Pokémon professor. Which means I study and research Pokémon. There are other classes such as trainer, breeder, or coordinator.
A Pokémon trainer captures and trains Pokémon in pursuit of the gym badges of the region to compete in the yearly Pokémon league tournament. The Pokémon league is a competition where all the best trainers from around the globe to compete for the championship title. In order to compete in this competition, you must first battle the eight gym leaders across the region to obtain the gym badges. Only those with eight gym badges from this region can participate.
Pokémon breeders are primarily Pokémon trainers who raises and mates specific Pokémon to reproduce specific improvements in future generations of Pokémon such as moves, individual values or natures."
"Mate? What does that mean?" Asked Todd.
"Uh….that's not important right now. Said professor Oak nervously. Anyway, Pokémon coordinators are Pokémon trainers who trains their Pokémon to show off its own beauty and enter it in contest. The goal of every Pokémon coordinator is to win the ribbon cup at the yearly, Grand festival. To enter in the grand festival, a coordinator must compete in several Pokémon contests across the region. After winning a contest, the coordinator is awarded with a ribbon. Once a coordinator obtains five ribbons, they are allowed to compete in the grand festival competition for the title of Top coordinator. There are also Pokémon artist such as tracy here who sketch Pokémon in their natural habitat. There are many ways to learn about Pokémon. And I'm positive you'll learn all about them as you travel.
Soon, the car finally arrived in pallet town. Pallet town was a small peaceful place. It has been the starting point for many a trainer in the kanto region. Looking outside, the kids saw that they were approaching a large building with a wind turbine on top of a hill.
"Hey, is that your lab?" Asked Todd.
"Yes, it is. Oak answered. Impressive isn't it? Well there's more to this than just it's looks. There are plenty of Pokémon here that you'll see across the kanto region. As the car came to a slow stop, the black gates had opened wide allowing entrance. Upon entering, they saw that the inside of the lab had looked like something from the future. The lab is composed of two floors. Inside the entrance door is a hallway with several doors, and to the left is a chest of drawers and the stairway to the second floor.
The living room is the space where Professor Oak hosts, eats, relaxes, and presumably studies. On a pink carpet (sometimes shown as green) are two couches and a table. To the side are a computer and bookshelves. This is where many scenes in the lab take place. There are also two science rooms full of various machines. There was a poke ball storage room which housed all the Pokémon of the trainers that were born in pallet town. This treasure of hundreds of Pokémon has been the target of attempted robberies by Team Rocket. In addition, the lab has a library, composed of two rooms. One is a study room with a large bookshelf and a pair of windows. The other, in the back, is a storage room full of books.
"Wow. This is entire building Is yours?" Asked an impressed Myron.
'Well, when you've made the kind of discoveries I have as a professor, you'll find that it comes with some pretty great benefits." Said professor Oak. Hey wait a minute, weren't there five of you? He asked noticing that dana was nowhere to be seen.
"Look at all this reading material Dana called as she was skimming through the library on the second floor. Here's one on Pokémon physiology. And here's one on town history! It's like I'm a kid in a candy store!"
"Ah, I seen she's found the library. Said professor oak. When you're done up there, join us down here if you may. He called. And now for your supplies. He said as he had lead them upstairs to the research floor which was the heart of the laboratory. The floor included several machines used for Pokémon testing and a table with various chemicals on it. Nearby is a blue chair. In front of it are the status screen, which shows the health and power of a Pokémon, and Professor Oak's computer, where he records his research. This computer doubles as a videophone, which he uses to communicate with other professors or Trainers. Beside the computer is the Poké Ball Transfer machine, for the transportation of Pokémon to their Trainers in a Pokémon Center. The room also includes a bookshelf, a desk with a lamp, a brown couch, and a drawing board. A few machines are connected to a glass container full of water, possibly to study aquatic Pokémon. Hanging from the ceiling is a large lamp. The professor had took out a case filled with poke balls from the cabinet and about other devices. They were small rectangle shaped devices with red coloring. On the inside of the tiny devices were a screen and a few buttons that looked similar to a handheld game system.
"Now, you won't be able to make it across the region with just one Pokémon by your side. You're going to need some type of assistance. These empty poke balls are used to capture and store Pokémon. You'll meet plenty of interesting and powerful Pokémon in the wild. And these little computers are called pokedex's These are used to record data on Pokémon as well as scale their power, health and attacks. For example….He said as he had held the pokedex in front of maurecia's charmander. Suddenly, the device spoke in a robot-like voice.
"Charmander, the lizard Pokémon. The flame that burns at the tip of its tail is an indication of its emotions. The flame wavers when CHARMANDER is enjoying itself. If the Pokémon becomes enraged, the flame burns fiercely. Charmander's current moves are scratch and tail whip.
"Cool! Said maurecia. But what does tail whip do?
"Tail whip is a stat reducing attack more than a directly damaging attack. If successful, the attack will lower the defensive stat of the opposing Pokémon. Tracey explained. Pokémon have special stats that affect how they perform in battle. Those stats are Attack, defense, special attack, special defense, speed and accuracy."
"How do these stats work exactly?" Asked dana.
"Allow me to explain. Said oak. These stats affect a Pokémon's performance in battle and how strong it's moves turn out to be. The basic attack stat is how strong a Pokémon's physical attack will be. For example, Todd jr.'s scratch attack is a physical type attack. Which means it will do physical damage. If it used tail whip first, then it would lower the targets' basic defense. Which would make it weaker to physical type attacks. But, rather than explain how battles work, I think we should cover this lesson in a real-time Pokémon battle.
'Alright! I call first! Said maurecia volunteering.
"Well, glad to see some enthusiasim. Said a smiling oak. Now, we just need to find your opponent."
"I'll go first professor." Dana volunteered. If I'm not going to be at wayside for a while. Then I might as well start learning everything I can while I'm here."
"Perfect! Follow me, I know just the place." Oak said as he had lead the kids out to a large open area behind the lab building. Alright. Since this is your first battle, I'll give you any help I can. When one Pokémon trainer challenges another trainer to a battle, it's called a trainer battle. The battlers usually determine how many Pokémon the each will use during the battle. However, since you kids are only just starting out, the rule will only be one-on-one style."
"Okay, So, I'm going to take a guess here and say that the first step is to call out our Pokémon?" Asked dana.
'Exactly. Looks like you're getting the hang of it already. Said Oak.
"Alright. Magnimite, come out please!" Dana said as she had released her steel/electric type from its poke ball.
"Magnimite." It said after forming into a physical being.
"Alright Todd jr., let's go!" Maurecia said as she had called her charmander to the field.
"CHAR!" It shouted as it faced down magnimite.
"So, what do we do first?" Asked maurecia.
"You call out an attack! Said Tracey. Remember, charmander knows scratch and tail whip."
"Oh right. All right Todd jr, use tail whip!" Maurecia said as she had called her first attack. " Todd jr did as he was commanded and had jumped into the air and began whacking its tail on magnimite's face.
"So that's what a tail whip is." Said Todd. However, it looked like magnimite wasn't harmed in the least.
"Hey maurecia, was that it? Asked a slightly disappointed dana.
"What gives?" Maurecia asked turning to professor oak and Tracey.
"Like I said, tail whip is only a stat decreasing move. Tracy said. It doesn't really do any direct damage on the target Pokémon. Only weakens their defenses. Try scratch now! Tracy called.
"Alright then, todd jr. use your scratch attack!" Maurecia called. The attack had landed, however Todd jr had retreated as trying to cut at magnimite's steel had hurt it's claws.
"Ooooww! That's gonna hurt tomorrow!" Said Todd jr. rubbing it's claws.
"Oh no, todd jr! Are you hurt?" Asked maurecia concerned.
"It's fine maurecia. It's just suffering the after effect of a not-very effective move." Said professor oak.
"Not very effective? What's that supposed to mean? The bladder girl asked.
"There are three types of effective move status. Said tracy. There's not very effective, which will do little to no damage at all. There's normally effective damage. Which will be the result of a normal attack against a different Pokémon. And there's super effective damage. Which will cause great damage against another Pokémon. Steel types have a high resistance to normal type attacks. So you won't get anywhere with scratch. Normally, steel types would be weak against fire-types. If charmander knew ember yet, then maybe you could have caused some serious damage. But until then, I think dana's got you beat.
"Oh yeah? We'll see about that! Said maurecia as she prepared to call another attack."
"Hold on. I think it's my turn to attack this time!" Said dana. Magnimite, use sonicboom!
"Magna…mite!" The robotic Pokémon said as it had released a grey energy wave which had slammed into todd jr. knocking it a few paces toward it's trainer.
"Todd jr, don't gove up! We can beat that tin can! Shouted maurecai. Use tail whip!" Her Pokémon complied as it began to lower magnimite's defenses again.
"Magnimite, counter it with sonic boom! Dana commanded. Magnimite had knocked back the fire lizard with a grey energy wave like before knocking it on it's back. Don't give it the chance to recover! Follow it up with tackle attack! The robotic Pokémon had charged knocking todd jr all the way over to maurecia. Looking closer, maurecia saw that her okemon had black swirls in his eyes.
"What happened?" She asked as she tried to wake up her Pokémon. Is it dead?"
"No, of course not. It's simply knocked out. Said professor oak. It took too much damage from dana's attacks and now its unable to battle. Which reminds me…he began as he held out his right arm. Todd jr. is now unable to battle. The winner is dana and her magnimite!" The professor announced.
"Hahahaha! Our first win! Dana cheered joyously but immediately brought it to an abrupt end by saying "Enough with the fun!"
"It's okay Todd jr. well win the next one." Maurecia said to her Pokémon before returning it to its poke ball.
'Sorry 'bout that sister mo." Said jenny.
"Don't worry about it, you'll get her next time." Said Todd.
"Oh, todd….she giggled before slugging him in the arm making him wince in pain.
"Uh, todd? You think you'll be able to go next or do you need time for your arm to heal?" Asked Tracey.
"No…ow…" Said todd still holding his left arm his pain from the punch. I can go. Who am I battling against?"
"That would be me. Said Myron with a confident smile.
"You sure that's a good idea Myron?" Todd asked
"What's that supposed to mean?" Asked a suspicious Myron.
"Nothing…Except that it's just that after the way you've been treating your bulbasuar…" Todd began.
"Mryon Jr! Myron said cutting him off.
"Right, Myron jr. Do you really think it'll listen to any of your commands now?" Todd asked.
"Nah, myron jr. is as loyal as a dog. He'll do anything I tell it to." Said Myron. Now come on! Let's go! He said as he had raced on to his side of the battle field.
"Alright. But don't say I didn't warn you." Said Todd as he had took the opposite side of the field.
"You can win Todd! Maurecia had cheered from the sidelines.
"Good luck, Myron!" Shouted dana.
"The battle between Myron and Todd will now begin. This will be a one-on-one battle. The winner will be decided when either trainer's Pokémon is unable to battle. Begin! Said professor oak.
"Alright Myron jr, come out here!" Myron shouted as he had released his bulbasuar onto the battlefield.
"Bulbasuar!" It shouted after being released.
"Squirtle, come on out!" Said Todd as he had tossed out his starting Pokémon.
"Squirtle, squirt!" It said after being released.
"Grass types are super effective against water types. So in that area, Myron has the advantage. Said Tracey. Or at least it would if it knew any grass type moves yet. So this match could go either way. Said Tracey.
"Alright Myron jr., let's start off with a tackle attack! Myron commanded. But instead, it lead off with a growl. The growl was so loud that it had intimidated todd's squirtle causing it to shiver a bit."
"Hey! I said to use tackle! Not growl!" Complained Myron. Bulbasuar only scoffed.
"Don't let it scare you, squirtle! Use tackle attack! Todd commanded. His squirtle had shook it's fear and had charged at myron's bulbasuar.
"Myron jr, counter it with tackle too! Myron commanded. Bulbasuar complied, but only because it wanted too. The two Pokémon had collided heads using the same move. They had jumped back to get distance between themselves. For some reason, squirtle seemed to be in more pain than bulbasuar.
"Growl lowers the target Pokémon's attack power. Said Tracey. So it's attack didn't work as effectively as it was supposed to. "
"Well, if an offensive approach won't work, then let's try defensive! Squirtle, use withdraw! Todd commanded. Hearing the order, squirtle had retracted its head, hands, feet and tail back into its shell. Seconds later, a blue light had surrounded the shell.
"What? Are you running away?" Asked a surprise Myron.
'Not exactly Myron. Said todd. You see…"
"BLAH, BLAH, BLAH! I'm tired of hearing the basics. Bulbasuar, tackle attack!" Myron shouted getting impatient.
"Finally, something we agree on." Said Myron Jr. as it attacked squirtle. Seconds before the impact, squirtle had popped out of it's shell. Bulbasuar's tackle sent squirtle flying, but it had landed on its feet right in front of it's trainer looking ready to go on.
"Hey, no fair! Shouted Myron. That attack had hit! Why isn't your Pokémon knocked out yet?"
"That's what I was about to tell you Myron. Said todd. Withdraw increases the user's defense. Which means it was able to better withstand your constant tackle attacks. But enough about that. Squirtle, use water gun! Todd shouted. On command, squirtle had spat a geyser of water from its mouth at the seed Pokémon. Being a non-effective move, Myron jr. was still able to stand.
"Spitting water? Is that what you've resorted to todd?" Asked Myron. Myron Jr, finish it with one last tackle attack! Bulbasuar had raced towards todd's squirtle raring to finish the battle. But todd had other plans.
"Squirtle, intercept with water gun! Todd shouted. Squritle had fired another geyser of water forcing back myron's Pokémon. After falling face first into the ground, Myron jr had black swirls in its eyes indicating that it was now unable to battle.
"Myron Jr is unable to battle. Said professor oak. The winner of this battle is todd and his squirtle.
"Haha! We did it!" Said todd as his squirtle cheered as well.
"Congratulations todd. Said the professor. I'm sure this victory is one of many. But do not get complacent. Eventually, the time will come when you come across trainers who are far stronger than you."
"And one of those trainers is going to be me. Said Myron. You only won because we're still starting. He said to todd.
'Sure myron. Whatever you say." Said Todd.
'Alright jenny, you're up last. Oak began. But wait, you don't seem to have an opponent. This might be a problem.'
"If it's okay, I'll be her opponent. Volunteered Tracey.
"Well that's mighty kind of ya Tracey," Said jenny. The two had took the opposite sides of the battlefield.
"Alright you two, the rules are the same as before. Said professor oak. This will be a one-on-one Pokémon battle. The winner will be decided when wither trainer's Pokémon are unable to battle. Ready? BEGIN!
"OK ziggy, let em ride! Jenney yelled as she tossed out her zigzagoon.
"ZIGZIG!" ziggy said happily as it jumped up a few times ready for a fight.
"Ok, it's been a while since I've had a Pokémon battle, but I'll do my best!" said tracy as he took out a pokeball from his pants pocket. "Ok Schyther! Let's do it! Said tracy as he tossed his pokeball up into the air. Out of it came an insect type Pokémon. It had green skin with a body like a praying mantis with it's claws sharp and hard as iron with a set of insect wings on it's back.
"Great sassafras, what kind of Pokémon are you?" asked jenny as she took out a pokedex.
"Scyther, The mantis Pokémon. Scyther is a bug type Pokémon with great agility and iron like blades for claws. Scyther uses it's claws to cut down any foe that may cross it's path.
"A bug type huh? Mom did always tell me not to play with bugs, but I guess I can make an exception this once." Said jenny
"Confident aren't we? Please take the first move." Said tracy.
"Mighty neighborly of ya. Ok ziggy, Use tackle attack on that critter!" jenny commanded as zigzagoon had rushed forward in a zig zag motion making it hard for scyther to tell from which point the Pokémon was going to attack from.
"Scyther, use double team!" said Tracey ashis scyther suddenly made about 10 clones of it self surrounding the zigzagoon.
"What in tarnation?" asked jenny as she and her Pokémon were confused by the sudden increase of scyther. "Professer oak, what's going on? Asked todd.
"This is the move double team. Only a large yet certain group of Pokémon can use this move, but it allows the user to make clones of the Pokémon to confuse the enemy. That way while the enemy is attacking a clone, the real thing has the advantage and can attack.
"So how is jenny suppose to tell which one is the real thing?" asked todd.. "That's just it, this move is to make sure the enemy can't tell a fake from the original. She'll just have to hope she get's lucky and find's the real one. "If you don't attack, my scyther will, scyther, use cut! Tracey commanded. Zigzagoon looked left to right to see which one was about to attack. But while it was focused on the front, scyther had attacked jenny's Pokémon from behind. "ZigZig!" ziggy shouted as it took a lot of damage from just one attack. "Ouch, that's gonna hurt in the morning." Said dana. "Ok, let's try something different. ziggy! Switch things up and use tail whip. Ziggy had noded and had used tail whip on the scyther left from the last one. Apparently the Pokémon was lucky as it had hit the real scyhter.
And as the Pokémon before it, scyther's defense had fell down. "No, double team wasn't enough?" asked tracy "Now, let's try this again with tackle attack.! Commanded jenny as zigzagoon had charged at it again. "Scyther! Doge it! Tracy commanded as scyther had jumped high into the air avoiding zigzagoon once again. Uh oh! Not good! Said jenny.
"Now bring it on home with X-scissor and finish it off!" commanded tracy. Scythre had crossed his scythes as they glew purple then had slammed it's scythes into jenny's zigzaggon in an x formation. The attack was too much for a young Pokémon like zigzagoon to bear and so had fainted afterwards.
"Oh no ziggy!" said jenny. Zigzagoon had swils in it's eyes showing that it was knocked out.
"Zigzagoon is unable to battle." The victory goes to scyther and tracy!" said professer oak.
"Aw shoot, that bug varmit is a tricky one. Take a good rest ziggy." Jenny said as she returned her Pokémon to her pokeball.
"Don't feel too bad about it, you did really well up until scyther's x scissor. I'd say you'll make a fine trainer." Said tracy.
"I appreciate the kind words mr. tracy, but I'm going to be wanting a rematch when I become stronger. You wouldn't want to disappoint a lady now would ya?" asked jenny.
"Most certainly not. I'll be waiting for a rematch." Said tracy.
"Now that everyone's had a battle, you should all have a good idea of how fierce trainers can be. Train your Pokémon and become stronger as a team. And now, I believe it's time that you all part ways. Tracy, if you would?" Asked the professor turning to his assistant.
"Oh! Right. Said tracy as he had went back inside only to come back with a map and another poke ball. Tracy had unfolded the map showing all the major locations in the kanto region.
"All right everyone. Since you're teacher wants you to explore the region by yourselves, I'm going to let you choose where you would like to go to start your adventure. Said the professor. Don't worry about how you're going to get there. I'll explain that part later."
"So, what you're saying is that we can choose to go anywhere on this map to start?" Asked jenny.
"That's correct. So, where would you like to go?" He asked. Jenny had looked all over the map trying to decide. What looks good to you sister mo'? She asked maurecia. Maurecia had took a while to decide until she had finally found somewhere that looked good. How about here?" She asked pointing to a spot on the map. The location she had pointed to was cerulean city.
"Ah, cerulean city. Nice choice." Said the professor. One of kanto's eight gyms is located there. Said the professor. Okay Tracey, bring it out." Tracey had nodded and had tossed the poke ball into the air revealing a new Pokémon. The Pokémon had loosely resembled that of a fox. It had two short pointed fox-like ears and in the middle of its face, it has two eyes that seemed to be shut. It had a slightly lighter color around it's mouth. It looks like it's wearing armor as it had two pauldron-shaped pieces on it's shoulders and a faud-like piece around it's chest. It had three fingers on its stubby arms and three toes.
"What kind of Pokémon is that?" Asked dana as she had took out her pokedex.
'Abra, the psi Pokémon. Abra must remain sleeping or else it will lose its psychic powers. When abra senses danger, it instantly teleports to another location.
Teleport? This Pokémon can use teleportation?" Asked Todd.
"That's right. Said professor oak. Abra is a psychic type Pokémon. Psychic types are Pokémon who are very difficult to hit with physical attacks. They've also been known to be high in the stats of speed and special attack. It 'll be quite rare to come across a psychic type. Now, when you two reach cerulean, look for the Pokémon center and register for the Pokémon league. After that, you'll be able to challenge the gyms. Make sure to contact me once you're there.
'All right abra, use teleport and send these two to cerulean city," Tracy commanded. Abra simply nodded it's head as it had raised his hands and began glowing an eirre purple. Soon, jenny and maurecia were surrounded by an orb of psychic energy. As the seconds pass, they could see their bodies disintegrate into thin air.
"Wha-? What's happening to them?" Asked dana.
"Don't worry. This is how abra's teleporting is done." Said professor oak. They'll arrive in cerulean city safe and sound.
"Good-bye todd! Shouted maurecia as she had begun to disappear. Soon, the two were completely gone frpm sight.
"Whoa! That was awesome! Me next! Me next!" Said an overly excited Myron.
"Hold it there, Myron! You've got to choose where you teleport first." Said tracy. Myron had looked at the map for a few seconds before he had quickly decided where he wanted to go.
"There! Teleport me there!" Myron said as he had pointed to a location that was marked HopHopHop town.
"HopHopHop town, huh? Interesting choice." Said professor oak. Are you sure you want to go there?
"I'm sure I'm sure! Let's go already!" Said Myron growing impatient.
"Dana, what do you think? You have a say in this too." Said Tracey.
"Well, myron's my best friend. I trust his decision. Wherever he goes, I go." Said dana.
"Well, alright then. Abra, teleport Myron and dana to hophop town." Said Tracey. Abra nodded and had begun using teleport on the two kids.
"See ya later todd! Said dana as she had waved good-bye.
"I'm not losing to you next tiiiiime!" Said Myron as his voice echoed out as he and dana had vanished.
"Guess I'm on my own now, huh?" Todd asked slightly disheartened.
"Do not fret, young man. I'm sure you'll meet your friends again soon enough. Besides, if not on the road, then you'll have to cross paths if you plan on challenging the gyms.
"So, todd, is there anywhere you'd like abra to send you?" Tracey asked.
"Actually, I think I might skip the teleportation and just start my journey here." Todd answered.
"Are you sure? Starting straight from pallet town?" The Pokémon artist asked.
"Yeah. Besides, I'm not sure if teleportation is my thing. I'm fine just getting to where I'm going on my own two feet."
"That's a good answer. Part of the enjoyment of the journey is how you get there. The city closest to this one is viridian city. Contact me when you make it there safely. Said the professor.
"I will. And thanks." Todd said as he began to take his leave.
"Oh todd, before you leave I think I should mention this. Said the professor.
"What is it professor?" Todd asked.
"About a week before I came to recruit you kids, I had sent another large group of kids out to begin their journey into kanto. And they all seem like potentially strong trainers. If you come across any of them, please let me know."
"Sure. But what do these other kids look like?" Asked todd.
"Well now, you can't expect me to remember all of the trainers that come by here do you?" The professor asked with a smile. Of course, what I do remember Is that three of those kids had the same name and they always travel together. Think of it as a side quest to accomplish.
"I'll be sure to be on the lookout for them. And thanks again." Said todd as he had begun to leave the lab and made his way out of town.
"You think they'll be fine out there?" Asked Tracey.
"I wouldn't worry about them. Oak replied. Besides, I have a feeling they'll have plenty of help in their journey before long.
With everyone setting off on their respective journeys, what adventure and mystery does the world of Pokémon entail for the young trainers? The answers to these questions and more. Next time, Episode 3:On the road to viridian city!
