Pokemon Ultimate Adventures: The Kanto Saga
VOLUME 1: KANTO
CHAPTER 3: MYSTERY IN THE VIRIDIAN FOREST!
Route 2
"Oh come on, not again!"
Red cried out in frustration, seeing as he couldn't catch the Caterpie again.
"Charmander, Ember this thing until it's weak!" Red exclaimed. Charmander spat out an Ember and knocked out the Caterpie in one hit. The lizard Pokemon uneasily looked at his trainer who threw his hat down and started stomping his feet.
"What the hell? I hit that Caterpie so many times and I still can't catch it! That's it, we're done here! Screw Bug types anyway!" Red exclaimed.
"Char..." Charmander muttered. Red had decided to let Charmander walk with him to Pewter City. He had tried with Pikachu, but the Electric Pokemon had just shocked him angrily, telling him to piss off. They trudged through the lush plain, and were careful to avoid the tall grass since they didn't want to encounter another Bug type.
"Hey look over there!" Red exclaimed. He pointed to a house nearby an entrance to a forest.
"That must be Viridian Forest. I wonder who the heck who live next to a forest", Red said.
"Char?" Charmander said shrugging. The two walked towards the house but someone jumped in their way.
"Waaaagh!" Red exclaimed falling back.
"Hiiyaah! I, Ninja Boy Kuo, challenge you to a duel!" the boy with the bandana in front of him exclaimed. He threw a Pokeball and out popped a stubby, blue and yellow Pokemon.
"Karrablast, the Clamping Pokemon. Moves are Peck, Fury Cutter, Horn Attack, Leer and Bug Bite. Geez, another Bug type. Let's do this Charmander!" Red said.
"Char!" Charmander exclaimed. Kuo threw his palm forward.
"Start off with Leer, then Horn Attack!"
"Charmander, Ember". Karrablast looked Charmander in the eye, then lunged at him with his horn. Charmander easily smacked Karrablast away with a fireball.
"Shoot! He's a smart one. Fine, let's do our powerful move. Fury Cutter!" Kuo exclaimed.
"Karraaa!" Karrablast shouted lunging at Charmander and swiping the lizard with his horn. Charmander cried out as he was smacked back and forth by the horn.
"Charmander, use Fury Swipes to knock it back and finish it off with Ember!" Red exclaimed. Charmander growled and rapidly slashed Karrablast back before blasting it with a fireball.
"Karraa..." Karrablast muttered before falling down unconscious. Kuo cried out in an exaggerated way before returning his Pokemon.
"You may have beaten Karrablast, but you won't beat my most powerful Pokemon. Go, Nincada!" Kuo exclaimed tossing a Pokemon and revealing a blue bug.
"More Bug types! Is this all people got to offer cause now I really feel bad for Leaf and Bulbasaur!" Red exclaimed.
"Who is this you speak of? No matter, Nincada, Poison Sting!" Kuo exclaimed. Nincada shot out a purple dart at Charmander.
"Ember", Red said. Charmander spat out his fireball, cancelling out Poison Sting.
"Ember again and this time, fire two more!" Red exclaimed.
"Block it with Detect!" Kuo exclaimed. Nincada blocked the Ember successfully, but failed to do the same as two more fireballs were hurled at his face and was knocked out.
"Nooo, Nincada!" Kuo exclaimed. Red and Charmander cheered.
"So much for most powerful Pokemon!" Red said. Kuo handed him the money and registered his number on the Pokegear.
"I'll call a rematch next time!" Kuo shouted leaping into the bushes. Red rolled his eyes and continued walking. Soon, he reached the house. He knocked on the door, and it opened.
"He-"
"Want to go to the Viridian Forest? Well sure, go right ahead!" the woman inside exclaimed pushing Red throught the door.
Why are people interupting me?! Red thought remembering the man in Viridian City. He sighed and walked through another door, this one leading straight into the forest.
"Whoa...", Red muttered as he stepped out of the door and into the lush green environment.
"Char..." Charmander muttered. Red felt something rattling inside and he took out Pikachu's Pokeball.
"What's up little guy? You want me to let you out?" Red asked. Pikachu nodded. Red let his new Pokemon out and Pikachu happily took a deep breath of the forest.
"This is where you came from, right?" Red asked. Pikachu looked at him, but didn't answer. Red sighed. Pikachu wasn't going to be an easy one. He gave a pleading look to Charmander and the lizard immediatly began to strike a conversation with the mouse.
"Char! Char!" Charmander exclaimed pointing around the forest.
"Pikapi!" Pikachu happily exclaimed. He didn't like Red, but Charmander was alright.
"Wow, so Leaf and Charmander are on Pikachu's favorites", Red muttered grimly. He decided to do what Leaf had told him.
"Hey Pika, do you wanna walk outside your Pokeball until we get out of the forest?" Red asked. Pikachu was slightly surprised when Red asked this but nodded. Red smiled. He finally got something other than a shock or attack.
"Okay then. All of us will walk together", Red happily exclaimed taking the lead. Bonding with my Pokemon. That's more like it! Red thought. He silently looked around his surroundings and enjoyed the walk while Charmander and Pikachu chatted away.
"Man, this is very deep...", Red muttered. The forest was very large indeed, as the trainer house was far back by now.
"What the?!" Red exclaimed when he approached a split path. Left or right? Red thought. He took out his Town Map and tried to find the exit, but the Viridian Forest was just resembled as a little blue square.
"What the actual hell?! This map is so useless!" Red exclaimed shoving it back in his bag. He sighed and looked up at the massive trees.
"Man, I wish I caught a Flying type Pokemon", Red muttered. Charmander looked around trying to help while Pikachu just smirked and crossed his arms. Red decided to pick the left path.
"Let's go this way", Red said. Charmander shrugged and walked behind Red while Pikachu silently snickered.
The three walked through the grass and surveyed their surroundings. Red suddenly saw a patch of tall grass.
"Oh man, we have to cross that?!" Red exclaimed. The tall grass was very large and long.
"Uggh. Fine, let's go", Red said. He carefully stepped through the grass, not wanting to encounter any Pokemon.
"Naaa!" a wild Kakuna suddenly leapt at Red out of nowhere scaring the absolute crap out of him.
"AAAH!" Red screamed falling back. The Kakuna had also surprised Charmander and the lizard leapt back startled. The Kakuna flew forward with a Headbutt attack that would have definitly struck Red if Pikachu hadn't jumped in at the last moment and knocked the Kakuna out with a Quick Attack.
"Thanks Pika", Red said relieved. Pikachu just huffed and turned around. Red sighed and got up.
"Char...", Charmander said groggily getting on his feet. Red dusted his pants with his hands and looked around.
"Man, this is dangerous. We need to get out of here fast!", Red said. The three walked through the rest of the grass and continued onwards. They walked through a path until stopping in front of another split path, this one going in four directions.
Red stared with a mouth wide open. "Whaaat?!" Charmander stared with his mouth open also while Pikachu was trying hard not to laugh.
"Hey there!" a voice called. Everyone turned around to find a girl with long blonde hair that was wearing a brown ragged toga over purple pants and a long sleeved black shirt and purple boots approaching him. She was holding a straw hat in one hand and she smiled as she walked up to him.
"Hi, I'm Yellow!" the girl introduced.
"I'm Red! Nice to meet you!" Red politely introduced. Yellow looked about two years younger than Red.
"So, you're lost in the forest, huh?" Yellow asked surprising Red.
"How'd you know?" Yellow smirked.
"I'm from Viridian City. I used to play here as a child all the time so I know the way out. Come on, I'll show you the way out", Yellow said. Before they could move, Pikachu jumped in Yellow's arms.
"Whoa! What the heck?" Yellow exclaimed taken back. Red frowned.
"Pika, you know her?" Pikachu nodded and snuggled in Yellow's arms.
"Oh wait, you're that Pikachu who kept stealing the people's food and picking fights with the other Pikachu, right?" Yellow asked. Pikachu nodded.
"Whoa, how come he likes you?" Red asked. Yellow smiled.
"One day, he was stealing food from this merchant. The guy flipped out and told his Pokemon to kick Pikachu away literally and took the food back. I saw the whole thing so I went and brought the same thing Pikachu was eating and gave it to him".
Red was shocked. Pikachu had a bond with Yellow? That was a surprise.
"Well, he doesn't like me. He's mad that I caught him", Red said. Yellow nodded.
"Well, I know the reason why. He's basically hurt. See, this Pikachu is different from the others. He has a huge pride and can't stand losing. Believe it or not, Pika, that's it name, right?" Yellow said. Red nodded.
"Well, Pika used to be weak and peaceful before. One day, mysterious people came and attacked the Pikachu Pack and this guy couldn't do anything but run. The lead Raichu and the others were mad that Pika had ditched them so they kicked him out of the tribe and they moved someplace else. Since that day, Pika has wanting to become stronger so he went and fought many Pokemon and grew stronger. Unfortunately, those events led him to not trusting humans that much and that's why he doesn't like you. But if you guys stick together long enough, he'll eventually grow attached to you", Yellow explained.
"Ah, okay", Red nodded in understanding. Pikachu leapt off Yellow's hands and stood next to Charmander.
"Well, I'll accompany you to the exit. Be careful though, there are trainers that will challenge you to a battle out of nowhere", Yellow said.
"Yeah, no kidding", Red muttered, remembering Ninja Boy Kuo. Yellow threw a Pokeball and revealed a two headed bird.
"A Doduo", Red muttered scanning the Pokemon with his Pokedex. Yellow took the lead and walked ahead. Red followed her behind, returning Charmander and letting Pikachu roam around freely, wanting to build a bond with the mouse as soon as possible.
They walked through the woods, pushing past branches and looking around. Viridian Forest was a maze basically. Yellow was going from right, left, up, down, to Red's dismay. But she looked like she knew where she was going, so Red chose not to argue.
"Hah! We spot a trainer!" two Twins exclaimed. Red and Yellow immediatly got ready to battle and got Charmander and Doduo ready, as Pikachu decided to not get involved. The Twins sent out a Rattata and Bidoof.
"Rattata, Quick Attack!" "Bidoof, Super Fang!" the Twins exclaimed and both their Pokemon dashed forward.
"Charmander, Ember!" "Doduo, Fury Attack!" both Pokemon retaliated with their attacks, knocking out the Rattata. Bidoof remained on its feet and its trainer commanded a Tackle, to which Charmander easily countered with a Scratch, knocking the beaver Pokemon out. Obtaining their prize money, Red and Yellow advanced through the forest.
"How long until we get out of here?!" Red whined. Yellow sighed.
"Red, we're almost there. This forest is very large and I know the way out".
"Are you sure?"
"I've been here my whole life! I'm positive!"
Red sighed. He just wanted to get out of the forest and get to Pewter City. A Gym Badge was something he really wanted so he could rub it in Blue's face.
"Ho! More trainers!" a Bug Catcher suddenly stepped in their way.
"Here we go again", Yellow said. Charmander and Doduo stepped up again, while Pikachu refused to battle. Bug Catcher James threw two Pokeballs forward and out came two green cone shaped Pokemon.
"Metapod. And he has two of them", Yellow said. Red sighed. He was getting tired of having Bug types as his opponents lately.
"Metapod, Harden! Then use Take Down!" James ordered.
"Charmander, Ember!" "Doduo, Peck it down!" the Pokemon commenced their orders and knocked the two Metapod back.
"Alright, you guys are tough. Well two can play that game!" James exclaimed.
"Yeaaah no. Ember!" Red quickly said. Charmander spat out two fireballs that immediatly knocked the Metapod out. James dropped to his knees and shouted something about "the end of humanity" before handing the prize money.
"That was wierd", Red said. Yellow sighed. "Yeah well some people take this way too seriously". The two trudged through the grass and slid down a small hill before turning left.
"Oh man, we gotta walk through those bushes?" Red exclaimed. Yellow shot him a look.
"They're just bushes! No wild Pokemon are going to appear". Red groaned and followed Yellow. Pikachu followed behind, still grumpy as ever. As the two walked along, Red caught sight of something.
"Hey, look!" he said. Yellow turned around and saw what Red was pointing at. There, near a large tree, a few men in black uniforms stood discussing something. Red noticed they had Pokeballs on their belt and knew immediatly he had to face them.
"Come on. They're trainers too. Let's see what they're talking about!" Red exclaimed.
"Red, wait!" Yellow exclaimed but it was too late. Red was already sneaking through the bushes, closer to the group of men. Yellow sighed. She had a bad feeling about this. Pikachu followed Red, just out of curiousity of those men. He thought they were familiar somehow. Yellow followed Red and soon, they were right next to the group of men, hiding in the bushes and eavesdropping on their conversation.
"Keep looking! We have to find it!" the leader said. All of the men had red R symbols on their shirt. The leader had a scarf and two ninja gauntlets on both wrists. His hair was also spiked back and he was wearing a barret just like the others.
"Sir, I saw a bright light coming from the eastern side!" one of the men said pointing to a direction. The leader nodded.
"Let's go. We can't lose it. We have to find to Phantom Pokemon! Move out!" the leader ordered and the men ran towards the direction. Red snickered.
"Phantom Pokemon? Oh man, I gotta catch that! Let's follow them, Yellow!" Red exclaimed.
"Red, we can't go and steal like that! It's rude and besides, the exit is nearby!" Yellow exclaimed. Red stood up.
"This is a golden opportunity! The Phantom Pokemon? How cool is that?! I'm gonna go find it myself and capture it! You can come too!" And with that, Red ran off after the men. Yellow let out a frustrated cry.
"He's so stubborn! How do you stand him Pika?" When Yellow got no answer, she turned around only to be surprised when he wasn't there. Turning back, Yellow caught a glimpse of the mouse running after Red. Frowning, Yellow ushered Doduo to follow and took off.
Red pushed the leaves aside and ran threw the thick bushes, shielding him from outside view.
The Phantom Pokemon? That sounds really interesting! Red huffed as he pushed threw another bush and would have kept going if it weren't for one of those men hadn't come into view. Red gasped and ducked under the bushes. The man turned around, but shrugged when he saw nothing. He turned to his comrade who was scouting the area with a Pokeball in his hand.
"Do you see it?" the man asked. His partner shook his head.
"Nah mate. I could've sworn I saw it here".
"Well keep looking. The boss won't be happy if we fail to catch it this time!" Red frowned when he heard that. Choosing to ignore it, Red decided to continue onwards and dwelve deeper. He crept by the men and walked through the bushes.
"Another one", Red muttered when he saw the black uniformed man. This guy was walking around as if he was looking for something. Creeping by the man, Red walked slowly, not wanting to be seen. He gasped when he heard a twig snap behind him and turned around only to sigh in relief when he saw Pikachu.
"Oh it's only you Pika. You interested in the Phantom Pokemon too?" Red asked smiling. Pikachu ignored him and continued forward, upsetting Red slightly. He chose to ignore it and followed his Pokemon.
They walked for a minute, trying to find any sign of a wierd Pokemon. Both then ducked when they saw the leader with two men at his side. The leader held up his hand and his gauntlet shined bright from the sun.
"I think we're close. Keep looking, it could be anywhere here", the leader ordered.
"Yes Master K!" the men exclaimed. Red gulped. These guys didn't sound good. If anything, they looked like policemen acting like poachers.
"I have a really bad feeling about this", Red muttered. Pikachu didn't hear him. He was busy concentrating on those men, as if trying to figure something out. They looked strangely familiar to the mouse.
"Hey what's that?" Red suddenly said. Pikachu turned and followed his trainer's gaze. Far off in the trees, a bright pink light was flickering. It seemed to stay in one place. Red glanced back at the men and saw they didn't notice the light yet.
"Come on, that must be the Phantom Pokemon!" Red said walking away slowly. As soon as he was out of the men's hearing range, he dashed towards the light, Pikachu following him. The two got closer and closer until they burst through the bushes and into a clearing.
"Oh...my...", Red muttered.
"Pikaaa...", Pikachu awed. In the middle of the clearing surrounded by pink aura, a pink cat like Pokemon floated, eyes closed as if it were concentrating on something. Quietly as possible, Red took out his Pokedex and aimed it at the Pokemon.
"Unable to identify Pokemon", the entry read.
"What the hell?" Red quietly exclaimed before putting the gadget away.
That must be the Phantom Pokemon. Better catch it before I miss my chance. Red took out a Pokeball and prepared to throw it, but was suddenly interupted by loud shouting in the bushes. Soon, the black uniformed men burst through the bushes, Pokeballs in hand. There were a large number of them and they quickly surrounded the pink Pokemon.
"What the?!" Red exclaimed as he was pushed back. The men formed a circle around the Pokemon, who was now awake due to the commotion. The leader emerged through the bushes and stood in front of the Pokemon. He grinned and held a ninja star in his hand. An Ultra Ball was attached to it.
"Hehehe, we found you. This time you aren't getting away, Mew!" the leader said. Turning to his men, he nodded.
"Commence the capture!" the leader ordered.
"Yes sir!" the men exclaimed tossing their Pokeballs forward and revealing their Metapod and Kakuna. Red gasped as the Pokemon attacked Mew, not holding back at all. Mew squirmed in pain and tried to get away by flying up. However, the leader threw his ninja star Pokeball forward and out popped a bat like Pokemon. Red took out his Pokedex immediatly.
"Golbat, the Bat Pokemon. Moves are Toxic, Bite, Air Cutter, Glare and Leech Life", Red said.
"Golbat, Leech Life!" the leader ordered. Golbat spat out a white dart at Mew, striking it and suddenly Mew was surrounded in orange-green energy. Orange orbs flew from Mew to Golbat, making the bat more energetic. Red, angered at how the men were hurting Mew, got up.
"hey, leave it alone!" Red exclaimed. The leader turned around and glared at Red, making him tremble.
"We have no beef with you kid. Get lost before you get seriously hurt!", the leader barked.
"No. I'm not letting you hurt Mew!" Red exclaimed. The leader smirked.
"What are you gonna do, fight us? You don't stand a chance!" the leader exclaimed.
"Red!" Yellow exclaimed bursting through the trees.
"About time you showed up. Let's show these assholes not to mess with Pokemon!" Red exclaimed. Yellow looked at Red in confusion. The leader snorted.
"If you're so eager for an ass kicking, then so be it! Get him boys, I'll handle Mew!" With that said, the men darted towards Red and Yellow and got their Pokemon ready to attack. The leader went back to keeping Mew down.
"Red, what's going on?" Yellow asked.
"No time, just get your Pokemon ready!" Red replied. He was about to send out Charmander, but Pikachu jumped in front, and growled at the enemy.
"Pika, what's wrong? You want to fight?" Red asked. Pikachu nodded, first time giving Red an actual honest answer.
"Alright then, go for it!" Red exclaimed. Yellow got Doduo ready.
"You're gonna regret doing this kids!" one of the men exclaimed. There were five of them, not counting the leader.
We can do this. Just stay calm and fight Red. They're all Bug type Pokemon! Red thought.
Oh man, what is going on? Yellow nervously thought.
"Metapod, Take Down!" "Kakuna, Harden!" The Metapod lunged at Pikachu and Doduo while the Kakuna sharpened their armor.
"Doduo, Fury Attack!" Doduo charged at the Metapod and furiously started pecking at all of them.
"Pikachu, Thun-", Red started, but he couldn't finish as Pikachu had lunged at a Metapod with Quick Attack and knocked it back. Two other Metapod saw this and lunged straight at Pikachu, but the mouse hopped away and bashed into them with great speed.
"Pikaaachu!" Pikachu shouted unleashing a bolt of electricity that fried the Metapod. They weren't down yet and got back up.
"Metapod, Headbutt!" the men ordered. The Metapod quickly rushed forward and slammed into Pikachu hard, knocking the mouse back.
"Pikachu!" Red shouted. "Doduo, help him out!" Yellow exclaimed.
"Not so fast! Kakuna, Slam!" the men ordered and the yellow Pokemon slammed into Doduo, knocking the bird down.
"Pikachu, Thundershock them away!" Red shouted. Pikachu didn't listen and tried to fend the Metapod off by smacking them with his tail and using his Quick Attack.
"Pika, please!" Red begged.
"Doduo, Fury Attack!" Yellow exclaimed. Doduo furiously pecked the Kakuna away, but thanks to Harden, their defense was buffed up so it didn't hurt.
"Take Down!" The Kakuna flew forward and delievered a painful blow on Doduo, knocking it out.
"Oh no! Doduo return and Rattata take his place!" Yellow exclaimed. She returned Doduo back and sent out Rattata, who growled.
"Quick Attack the Kakuna off!" Yellow exclaimed as the Kakuna lunged at her Pokemon. Rattata was able to smack into the multiple Kakuna, knocking them back. He continued to slam into the Kakuna many times, eventually knocking one out.
"Pika, just use Thundershock!" Red pleaded. Pikachu couldn't since the Metapod had tackled him to the ground and had him pinned.
"Oh no, Charmander help him out!" Red exclaimed tossing his Charmander out.
"Char!" Charmander exclaimed dashing towards the Metapod and lashing out with his Fury Swipes.
"Ember them away!" Red ordered. Charmander spat out multiple fireballs at every Metapod, severely injuring them.
"Rattaa!" Rattata shouted as he was knocked back by the Kakuna and flew over the Metapod.
"Char!" Charmander screamed as the Kakuna lunged at him.
"PIKAAAA!" Pikachu shouted unleashing a powerful Thundershock, which devoured the Metapod and the Kakuna, knocking them all out. Red and Yellow stared in shock as Pikachu shot a menacing glare at the men, making them back off. The leader turned around and was surprised to see his men beaten.
"S-sir, they've taken out our Pokemon! What do we do?" The leader responded by calling his Golbat back and shooting out a thick string from his gauntlet at Mew. The string quickly morphed into a thick net and trapped the rare Pokemon inside of it.
"You guys get Mew. I'll handle these runts!" the leader said.
"Yeah right! We're taking you down along with your men!" Yellow exclaimed. The leader snorted.
"Hmph! We'll see about that. Go Skorupi and Croagunk!" the leader shouted tossing two more ninja stars and revealing a poisonous scorpion and a blue frog. He grinned.
"They don't call me the Poisonous Master for nothing! You'll pay for interfering with Team Rocket's plans! Toxic!" the leader shouted. Golbat, Skorupi and Croagunk glowed purple and unleashing large purple bubbles at Pikachu, Charmander and Rattata, sending purple energy on their body.
"Pikaa...", Pikachu said in pain. Charmander and Rattata cried out in pain also as the poison flowed through their body.
"Guys, what's wrong?" Red asked.
"They're Poisoned Red. This guy definitly isn't like his men!" Yellow said.
"We'll see about that! Charmander, Ember! Pikachu, Thundershock!" Red shouted. Charmander and Pikachu fired their attacks, Pikachu doing it out of revenge.
"Seriously? That's it? Golbat, blow that Ember out with Air Cutter and Skorupi, Acupressure!" the leader ordered. Golbat fired a gust of wind that had crescent shapes and immediatly put out the Ember while Skorupi raised his claws and took the Thundershock dead on.
"What, why didn't that Thundershock hurt him?" Red exclaimed.
"Skorupi used Acupressure, a move that raises a random stat. In my case, Skorupi's Special Defense was highly raised, so the Thundershock barely did anything to it!" the leader explained. Red grit his teeth.
Damn, these Team Rocket guys are really tough. What do I do now? Red thought, frantically trying to come up with an idea.
"Rattata, Super Fang the Croagunk!" Yellow excaimed. Rattata charged at Croagunk, fangs ready to chomp on the frog.
"Fool! Croagunk, knock that Rattata away with Brick Break!" the leader ordered. Croagunk's fist glowed white and he slammed it into Rattata, knocking the purple mouse, sending it flying back into a tree.
"Rattata!" Yellow shouted as Rattata slid down unconscious.
"Face it kiddies! You're no match for me!", the leader exclaimed.
"Charmander, Ember at Skorupi! Pika, Quick Attack on Golbat!" Red suddenly shouted. Charmander immediatly went in action while Pikachu ruthlessly charged at Golbat with great speed.
"Skorupi, Acupressure again and Croagunk, knock the Pikachu away with Poison Sting!" the leader ordered. Skorupi raised its arms up high, ready to block the Ember while Croagunk jumped up and prepared to fire his poison darts.
"Now, switch it over!", Red shouted. Surprised, but listening, Charmander and Pikachu darted past each other and rushed at their switched opponents who were now confused.
"What th-", the leader didn't even have time to shout out as Pikachu bashed into Skorupi's face with Quick Attack, knocking it back while Charmander engulfed the Poison Sting with Ember that struck Croagunk on the gut.
"Skor!" "Croa!" both Pokemon shouted as they fell down hurt.
"Now Pika! Thundershock!" Red shouted.
"Pikaapii!" Pikachu shouted unleashing his volt of electricity with great power, shocking Croagunk and Skorupi. Both Poison types slumped down unconscious. The leader grit his teeth.
Impossible! How could a bunch of measly kids and their weak Pokemon defeat me? the leader thought. Red smirked at the leader.
"You lost! Now surrender yourself to the authorities!"
"Whoa, good job Red!" Yellow exclaimed. The leader laughed.
"You think I'll give up so easily? Never! Guys, we're taking Mew!" the leader exclaimed.
"You got it sir!" the Team Rocket grunts exclaimed.
"I don't think so! Charmander, get them!" Red exclaimed.
"Char!" Charmander jumped in front of the grunts, blocking their path. The grunts uneasily looked at Charmander and stepped back.
"Don't let that small Pokemon stop you!" the leader ordered.
"He's right! We can take this little punk!" one of the grunts, the talkative one, exclaimed. He shouted a battle cry and dashed forward but Charmander fired his Ember straight at the guy's gut.
"Ow! I'm on fire, get it off!" the grunt screamed. He slapped himself repeatedly until the fire was blown out. The leader growled.
"Fine. You can have Mew for now. But this isn't the end!" the leader exclaimed. He turned to his men who dropped the net and untied it. Mew was now free and it floated up freely.
"Golbat!" the leader exclaimed motioning for his Pokemon. Pikachu saw the smirk on Golbat's face as he looked at him and grew angry. With a cry of rage, Pikachu unleashed a Thundershock right at Golbat, electrocuting him severely and knocking him out.
"Huh?!" the leader exclaimed. He turned around to see the pissed off Pikachu and the trainers looking at him, as if waiting for him to make a move. He growled and shook a fist.
"Kid, you just started the deadliest war with the worst people on Earth! Next time, you won't be lucky!" the leader exclaimed. He turned to his men.
"Move it!" and with that, the leader threw a smoke bomb on the ground, unable to let Red and Yellow see. They heard the pounding of footsteps disperse into the trees and the smoke cleareed after that. Coughing, Red and Yellow looked around, but caught no sight of Team Rocket.
"Man, they booked it", Yellow commented. Red looked at Pikachu who seemed to be relaxed. He didn't know what had gotten him to be so mad like that and assault the Golbat.
"Yeah, we sure showed them!", Red exclaimed. He then turned to Mew, who was happy to be free. Mew nodded at Red and Yellow before taking off in the sky.
"Wow, so that was the Phantom Pokemon?" Yellow asked. Red sighed.
"Yeah, and I didn't get to catch it. But oh well, at least I saved it from those guys".
Yellow turned around and gasped.
"What? What happened?" Red asked concerned.
"Char!" "Pi!" Charmander and Pikachu added.
"We're so far away from the exit now! Come on, I'll take you to Pewter City!" Yellow exclaimed. She turned around and started walking and Red trailed after her with his Pokemon following.
Team Rocket, huh? I got a bad feeling about those guys Red grimly thought as he followed Yellow through the thick dense forest.
And I know they'll be back for revenge...
