The grunt lead the gang through Viridian Forest. "Hey Ash." Misty whispered.
"What?" Ash whispered back.
"Do you think this guy is trying to trap us?"
"Nah. I think the Doctor's got him in check."
The Doctor paid close attention to the grunt to make sure he didn't step out of line.
Eventually, they arrived in Viridian City. They walked towards the gym. "Well," said the grunt. "it's right under this gym." Then he quickly pulled out a gun, startling Ash, Misty, and Pikachu. "WHICH WILL BE THE LAS THING YOU'LL EVER SEE!"
The grunt pulled the trigger, but all that came out was a clicking noise. Ash, Pikachu, and Misty sighed with relief. "While those visions of me were flying through your head, I took your gun, and emptied the bullets.
"Oh." said the grunt. "Well, you're no match for my extremely strong pokémon!" he threw a pokeball, and with a flash of white light, a zubat came out.
"Yowzah!" said the Doctor. "That pokémon fit in that tiny ball! I wonder if it's bigger on the inside?"
Ash's pokedex spoke up. "A pokeball works through miniaturization, and used light energy as a miniaturization ray." It said.
"Now let's see what pokémon that is." Ash said. He pulled his pokedex out of his pocket, and opened it up.
"Zubat: The bat pokémon." the pokedex said. "A rather weak bat-like pokémon that can be found in most caves. Usually captured by beginner trainers."
"Pikachu, thundershock!" Ash said, closing the pokedex. Pikachu let out a powerful electric discharge at the zubat, who fell to the ground.
"It's super effective!" said the pokedex. "Zubat fainted!"
"WHAT?!" exclaimed the grunt.
"Just lead us to your headquarters." the Doctor said. "You know what I can do to you. This time no traps.
The grunt nodded in fear.
