101. infinitesimal: exceedingly small; minute
Green woke up at 6:00 AM sharp, his eyes flickering open as he reached over to shut off his alarm just as the radio popped and the first indistinct buzzing began to sound. He felt a strange, even childish sense of elation, something inexplicable that seemed to flow from each and every single one of his millions of infinitesimal cells. He felt impossibly light and unreasonably bubbly as he walked to his bathroom to wash up, and even began humming along as the obsessive violinist next door began playing.
102. variegated: distinctly marked with different colors; diverse
The window in the kitchen let in variegated hues of light as early sunshine poured through the leaves and into the room. Outside, pidgeys were already awake and cooing, and Green was tempted to make bird noises out the window in response. Their songs filtered through the window, and as Green watched the pancake batter begin bubbling in the pan, he felt a warm sensation in his chest, not unlike the bubbles that appeared and popped cheerily as the pancakes solidified.
103. erratic: inconsistent, unpredictable
By 7:00 AM Leaf had still not woken, even with Green crashing around the kitchen and singing. When he walked out to the yard to release Red's pokemon and Eevee, they opened bleary eyes ad stared at him as he all but skipped as he dished out their breakfast. As Green picked up his backpack and made his bed, he briefly considered how in the world Leaf hadn't woken up yet. He knew that her sleeping pattern was erratic (probably because her Circadian rhythm was all messed up, maybe even permanently from jet lag), and decided to just go ahead and leave. He scribbled down a note and, laughing to himself, taped it to her forehead. He tiptoed away holding his breath, and when Leaf did not stir, he quietly unlocked the front door, shouldered his backpack, and left.
104. venial: easily excused or forgiven
Green considered asking Charizard for a lift to Pewter, but in recalling his soreness from the flight home from Mt. Silver, he decided against it. Though he understood charizards' traditions and had forgiven Charizard, his arms and shoulders had not deemed the flight venial. He released Eevee, who looked excited to be out on a walk (finally), and pulled out an empty pokeball. Now, if he could catch a polite Pidgeotto in Viridan Forest and ask for a ride...
105. zeal: intense passion or enthusiasm
After leaving the quiet outskirts of Viridian City and reaching the forest, Green was in such a euphoric mood that he didn't feel the slightest bit bothered when he saw a bug catcher poke his head out of the bushes and challenge him to a battle. The kid (What did he introduce himself as? Abner? Anner? Abber?) was a little put out when Charizard toasted his butterfree and beedrill; however, when he sent out a pikachu with the zeal of any trainer in a tough battle and down to his or her last pokemon, Green and Charizard froze, and then chortled with laughter. Nothing could compare with Red's monstrous electric mouse, and with a single dragon pulse, Charizard blew the pikachu away.
106. peer: a person or thing of the same rank
Abner recalled his pikachu dejectedly, but Green smiled and thumped the kid heartily on his back. Abner smiled in reluctant acceptance of defeat before handing over a couple bills and disappearing into the brush. Green continued marching on through the tall grass (he used to avoid it like the plague; wild pokemon were such a pain sometimes) in search of a pidgeotto. He encountered nothing more than a couple of Abner's peers, and easily toasted the others' beedrills and kakunas and weedles and butterfree and ariados and metapods (Ugh were metapods persistent).
107. olfactory: relating to the sense of smell
After only two hours of wild-pokemon-free walking, Green realized he'd almost walked through the whole forest and had yet to be confronted by a single wild pokemon. After spotting a pidgey, he jogged over to challenge the pokemon; the bird flew away, terrified, and Green glanced over at Eevee, who shrugged. Green called out Espeon, asking him to use his superior olfactory senses to find pokemon that were hiding in the trees (also because Charizard was terrorizing the pokemon).
108. divulge: to reveal or make known
After cornering a pidgeotto who cowered as Espeon threatened to zap it with a psychic attack if it tried to run, Green finally caught the bird pokemon he'd needed. However, his mooded soured a little at the unpleasant capture. Green let Pidgeotto out of her pokeball, and she immediately fluttered away from him. After alternate coaxing and wheedling (and bribing with pokefood), Pidgeotto divulged that she had recently hatched four pidgeys and really could not go on an adventure at the moment.
109. conducive: tending to bring about
Green really did not understand most of what Pidgeotto was trying to say, though her chattering, nervous bird-calls gave him the gist of I really can't do this. Green sighed, as he rarely encountered female pokemon, and his old captures generally were conducive to excitement and not apologies. Green released the bird and kept walking.
Just as he reached the final stretch of the forest, a large male pidgeotto swooped down and landed in front of him. Green pulled out Espeon's pokeball and prepared to throw, when he realized that the male bird wasn't challenging him to a fight. The bird squatted on the road, closed its eyes, and just sat there. Shrugging, Green tossed an empty pokeball at the bird, who let himself be captured without resistance. Green immediately let the bird out of his pokeball, and looked at him questioningly. The pidgeotto pointed at a tree behind him, where the female pidgeotto cooed back softly. Green eventually understood that the female pidgeotto's husband had offered to give Green a ride around the country and Green nodded appreciatively.
110. odyssey: a long, adventurous journey
Around noon, four hours into his odyssey, Green reached the smaller buildings surrounding Pewter. Though its population was about the same as that of Viridian, the people were distributed in houses scattered around the expansive area. Some houses were located conveniently by the main roads, while others looked down from their perches on large ledges of the surrounding mountains. After walking through the streets, observing the strangely familiar roads, Green went to the Pokecenter to rest up and eat. It was already time to battle Brock.
