My Pokémon Story

Kanto story Pewter gym battle

I continued on into the Viridian Forest Spearow was really tough against all the bug types like Caterpie and Weedle's there were other trainers in the forest but my Pokémon were stronger although I didn't see Alex here I could only imagine he was at the Gym already, then out of nowhere a Weedle used string shot on Bulbasaur trapping him in its webbing, clearly this Weedle had spunk I battled the Weedle with Spearow, Weedle used string shot to lower Spearow's speed but Spearow fought back with peck, Weedle was hurt but got back up and used poison sting, not only did this attack hurt Spearow it was also poisoned that moment I realised I needed to end this battle soon and get to the Pokémon centre but the Weedle would not let me go so I threw a Pokeball and caught the Weedle.

I checked on Spearow he wasn't too bad but need to heal up soon, but we were really close to the exit of the forest.

So instead of going back the way we came I returned Spearow back to its Pokeball I then freed Bulbasaur from the web and ran for the exit avoiding all battles as possible but then just before we left the forest we heard rustling in the bushes, something fast was coming and it wasn't a bug type it was the small electric type Pokémon Pikachu.

This Pikachu wouldn't let us go without a battle, so we had no choice but to battle, Bulbasaur stared the with tackle that damaged Pikachu then Pikachu used thunder shock on Bulbasaur, it wasn't very effective, Bulbasaur continued by using leech seed on Pikachu, Pikachu then used growl on Bulbasaur lowering its attack, Bulbasaur went for one more tackle but it wasn't as strong as before, finally it was time to use my Pokeball, I threw my Pokeball at Pikachu, Pikachu went inside and the Pokeball wobbled twice but Pikachu broke free, Pikachu used thunder shock on Bulbasaur also not very effective but Pikachu's health was zapped by leech seed so I tried again to capture Pikachu and this time it worked, I caught Pikachu.

Finally, the five of us left the viridian forest we first went to the Pokemon centre and that's when we say Alex.

"Hey there um, Ian that's it, check this out I won my first gym badge" said Alex showing me his boulder badge.

I congratulated him then he showed me his 4 Pokémon he had Charmander, Nidorino, Rattata and a Metapod.

"It was a tough Gym but thanks to my Pokémon especially Nidorino here those Rock types didn't stand a chance against its double kick's, so what about you?" asked Alex.

I told him I was going to battle the Gym leader as soon as I healed my Pokémon, after they were healed, I showed them to him, Bulbasaur, Spearow, Weedle and Pikachu.

Alex was impressed with what I had but was disappointed I had no evolved Pokémon.

"Your Pokémon are good but if you're gonna win battles and become a Pokémon Master you need to evolve your Pokémon, it'll make your team stronger, anyway I'm going to Cerulean City but after we both have 2 badges we'll have your first battle, well I'll see you there and then good luck" said Alex as he left for Cerulean City.

I left the Pokémon centre and went to the Pewter City Gym, I went inside and was welcomed by the Gym leader Brock.

"Hello, their Challenger, tell me how many badges do you have?" asked Brock.

I told him I didn't have any badges, so he pulled out two Pokeballs and said "this would be a two vs two battle" he then brought out his rock type Pokémon Geodude and I called out Bulbasaur.

I started the battle by having Bulbasaur use vine whip, it was super effective Geodude could still battle and used tackle on Bulbasaur and damaged Bulbasaur.

Bulbasaur then used vine whip one more time one Geodude and Geodude fainted and was unable to battle.

Brock called back Geodude and brought out his Onix, I ordered Bulbasaur to use vine whip but before the attack hit Onix used bide, while using bide onix couldn't attack until it had been attacked two times but when it does all the damage it took gets double and thrown right back at me.

While it looked like Onix would be defeated after one more vine whip Brock was confident Onix wouldn't fall so instead of a standard attack I had Bulbasaur use leech seed to drain some energy from Onix to Bulbasaur and Bulbasaur's health was fully restored so when Onix unleashed it's energy on Bulbasaur, Bulbasaur was still standing, both Pokemon were almost out of HP, one more attack would end the battle but Bulbasaur was able to out speed Onix and used vine whip on Onix knocking it out making me and Bulbasaur the winners.

Brock was Impressed with my battling style and said, "not a lot of trainers win here first time especially with only one Pokémon".

Brock handed me my first Gym badge the Boulder badge and wished me luck on my journey.

I left the Gym and went to the Pokémon centre to heal Bulbasaur back to full health and continued on to route 3 battling other trainers and Pokémon along the way until it started to get dark we later found another Pokémon Centre close to the entrance to MT Moon, we stopped there over night until morning while there I was told the Cerulean Gym leader uses water type Pokémon, Bulbasaur being a grass type would be perfect for this but my other Pokémon could do with some levelling up especially Pikachu.
