I bought another FireRed because my first one almost had a complete Pokedex, out of all the Kanto, Jhoto, and Hoenn Pokemon. And I got bored of just leaving it there and not starting all over. But I didn't want to delete the data because I was proud that I almost completed the Pokedex. So that's why I bought a new one. I also bought it to help me with this story. I named my character Zoey and my rival Gary. I started off with Charmander too and he has a Squirtle. Now only if there was a Jessica in the game...

Double Trouble

Zoey walked out of the city and headed to the route closest to the Kanto Pokemon League. She knew she couldn't get passed the gaurds who were gaurding the gates to Victory Road, so she just decided to check out the area and see if there were any Pokemon to be captured.

She and Charmander had been walking together. Zoey had returned Pidgeotto into her Pokeball because she wanted her Pokemon's foot to heal faster with some rest.

Charmander enjoyed walking with her master instead of being inside a Pokeball. Zoey liked it too, since she had company with her while traveling Kanto.

"Nido!"

A small blue rabbit-like Pokemon dashed passed the two in a hurry.

"What was that?" said Zoey to herself.

"Come back here!"

"We're not going to let you escape!"

The girl saw two young boys chase after the Pokemon.

"Come on Charmander," Zoey said. "I want to see what's going on."

"Char."

--

The little Pokemon kept running through the forest, her small feet carrying her as quickly as they could. But she tripped over a tree root and fell flat on her face. The two boys had caught up to her.

"There you are," said the first.

"You've been a bad Nidoran," the second said.

The Nidoran cowered in fright.

"Nido..."

Zoey had caught up to the two boys. They noticed her coming.

"What's going on here?" asked Zoey.

"None of your buisness!" said the first.

"Go away!" the second said.

Zoey saw the Nidoran shaking out of fright.

"What are your names?"

"I'm Timmy," said the first.

"And I'm Tommy," said the second. "We're twins."

"And just what are you trying to do to that Pokemon?"

"Catch it!" said Timmy.

"For somebody else!" said Tommy.

"Somebody else? Well then they should catch it themselves! And you boys don't know how to catch a Pokemon if it's running away and shaking like that!"

Zoey walked over to the Pokemon who was shaking and had her paws over her eyes. She kneeled down next to it.

"Hey there," said Zoey in a motherly tone. "Are you ok?"

The Pokemon looked up at her.

"I'm not going to hurt you."

The creature stood up on her two hind legs and slowly walked towards Zoey.

"Don't be afraid. I won't hurt you."

The Pokemon walked up to her and looked at her face.

"N..Nido..."

Zoey picked up the Pokemon and carried her in her arms. The Pokemon calmed down a little.

"There. It's ok. You're safe."

"Hey!" yelled Timmy. "That's our Nidoran! Give her back!"

"Nidoran?"

Zoey flipped open her Pokedex and it said "Nidoran, the Poison Pin Pokemon. While the female Nidoran does not like to fight, even one drop of the poison she secretes from barbs can be fatal."

"The female Nidoran? So there is a male and a female species?"

"That's right," said a familiar voice.

"Oh great..." said Zoey. "It could only be--"

"Jessica!" said Timmy. "This girl was trying to take away the Nidoran you wanted us to catch for you!"

"Yeah," said Tommy. "And she yelled at us!"

"Now Zoey," said Jessica. "Give these boys their Nidoran back, so I can capture it."

"Why do you want it so badly?" asked Zoey.

"Because Gary already caught the male Nidoran and I want to be the one to catch the female! If I catch the female, then that means that we're destined to go out together!"

"There's no such thing! And what is with you and your obsession over that guy?!"

"He's like the best male trainer!"

"How?!"

"He's knowledgeable about Pokemon, he's smart, handsome, and so many other wonderful things!"

She let out a dreamy sigh.

Zoey sweatdropped.

Personally, I don't think much of Gary...Just a friend gone wrong...

"So hand it over!" said Jessica.

"No!" said Zoey. "You have to catch this Nidoran fair in square!"

"Oh it won't be me who will battle it," Jessica said while giving off a sneaky smile. "It will be these two boys. Timmy, Tommy, do your stuff."

"Ok!" said Timmy. "Pidgey, go!"

A small bird came out of the boy's Pokeball.

Zoey set Nidoran down next to Charmander.

She took out her Pokedex and it said "Pidgey, the Tiny Bird Pokemon. It is docile and prefers to avoid conflict. However, if disturbed, it can ferociously strike back."

"So," said Zoey. "Pidgey is the previous form of Pidgeotto. Ok then."

Zoey took out a Pokeball from her belt and threw it up in the air.

"Pidgeotto, let's go!"

"Pidgeooo!"

The bird soared in the sky and spread her wings out.

"Pidgey, use Tackle!"

The tiny bird flapped his wings to catch up with Pidgeotto.

"Dodge it and use Quick Attack!"

Pidgeotto dodged it and slammed into Pidgey, who then became unconcious, due to his small body.

"Pidgey! No!"

The boy sadly recalled his Pokemon into the Pokeball.

"Don't worry bro," said Tommy. "I'll take it from here. Go, Weedle!"

His Pokeball opened when he threw it and out came a bug-like creature.

"Weedle!"

Zoey checked her Pokedex again.

"Weedle, the Hairy Bug Pokemon. It eats its weight of leaves every day. It fends off attackers with the needle on it's head."

"Ok, this one's a Bug type," said Zoey. "In that case, Pidgeotto, use Gust!"

Pidgeotto flapped her wings powerfully and sent a gust of wind at Weedle. The poor little creature was knocked unconcious before he had a chance to attack.

"Weedle! Oh no!" Tommy also returned his Pokemon to his Pokeball, a sad expression on his face.

"Oh you two are useless!" said Jessica. "Let me show you how a real Trainer does it! Rattata, I choose you!"

Jessica threw her Pokeball in the air and out came a mouse-like Pokemon.

"Rrrrratata!"

"Wow," said Zoey as she looked up the data for the Pokemon. "I've seen so many Pokemon in just one day!"

"Rattata, the Mouse Pokemon. Cautious in the extreme, its hardy vitallity lets it live in any kind of enviornment."

"It's kinda cute," said Zoey. "But that won't hold me back! Pidgeotto, use Sand Attack!"

Pidgeotto flapped her wings close to the ground and sand soared at Rattata.

He shook his small head to get the sand out of his eyes.

"Rattata, use Quick Attack!"

The little mouse ran swiftly at Pidgeotto, but missed her.

"Now Pidgeotto, use Whirlwind!"

"Pidgeoooo!"

The bird flapped her wings quickly, causing a powerful gust of wind, sending Rattata into the air.

"Now use Quick Attack!"

Pidgeotto accelerated into the sky and slammed into Rattata, knocking him back down towards the ground. He became unconcious.

"My Rattata!" cried Jessica. "Return!"

Jessica wanted to use her Bulbasaur or Butterfree, but Zoey's Pidgeotto was strong and Jessica had a disadvanage with the Pokemon she currently has.

However, she wasn't going to let Zoey win.

"Bulbasaur, I choose you!"

Out came the Pokemon from her Pokeball.

"Bulbasaur!"

Pidgeotto was still going to fight.

"Now, use Gust Pidgeotto!"

The bird flapped her wings again, creating wind everywhere.

"Now use Poison Powder Bulbasaur!"

"Bulba!"

Tiny sparkling spores emerged out of the plant bulb on her back. The spores went into the air, spreading the spores everywhere the wind was. They reached Pidgeotto and poisoned her, making her weaken the longer she stays in battle.

"No! Pidgeotto!"

"Now use Tackle Bulbasaur!"

The Pokemon charged and Pidgeotto, sending a powerful Tackle at her.

"Now use Vine Whip!"

Vines came out of Bulbasaur's bulb and slammed against Pidgeotto.

"Now grab her with the vines and throw her up in the air!"

"What?!"

Bulbasaur did as she was told. She grabbed Pidgeotto and threw her up in the air. Her strength was being drained due to the poison, so she couldn't fly.

"Return Pidgeotto!"

Zoey didn't know what to do. Sure she could use Charmander. She had a type advantage. But Jessica still had Butterfree and that Pokemon could learn Stun Spore.

What am I going to do? Pidgeotto is out, and I only have one Pokemon left, while Jessica still has two.

"Well," said Jessica. "It looks like you've given up. Hand over that Nidoran now!"

"No!"

"Then get Charmander to fight. Of course, if she wins, then I'll just use Butterfree. Your Charmander will be in bad shape again."

Zoey clenched her fists. She didn't know what to do.

Nidoran saw her rage in the expression of the human's face, but she also saw concern.

Nidoran walked up in front of Zoey.

"Nido!"

"What's this?" said Jessica. "You want to fight me?"

"Nido!" The Pokemon clenched her paw cutely and shook it at Jessica.

"Fine! Bulbasaur, use Tackle!"

Zoey was amazed. "Nidoran, you want to fight...with me?"

"Nido!"

"Ok then." She smiled. "Nidoran, dodge it!"

Nidoran sidestepped and dodged the attack.

"Now use Scratch!"

Nidoran racked her claws at Bulbasaur.

"Bulbasaur, use Poison Powder!"

The same spores came out of the plant bulb and touched Nidoran, but nothing happened.

"What?!" said Jessica. "That's supposed to work!"

"Oh I get it," said Zoey to herself. "Nidoran is a Poison type, so Poison type attacks won't poison her."

The girl smiled.

"Use Tail Whip Nidoran!"

Nidoran charged at her opponent and whipped her with her small tail.

"Now finish her off with Double Kick!"

"Nido!"

Nidoran slammed her first foot at Bulbasaur, and then the second foot, sending Bulbasaur skidding across the ground.

"Return Bulbasaur!"

Jessica scowled.

"Fine, you can keep that pathetic creature! But you'll never be able to beat me! Butterfree, show these losers your power!"

Jessica tossed her Pokeball up in the air, releasing Butterfree.

"Freeee!"

"Wow," said the twins. "These two girls have strong Pokemon!"

"Use Tackle at Nido--"

"Hold it right there."

All four Trainers turned around to find Gary walking towards them.

"Gary!" said Jessica. "I didn't know you'd be here!" She had sparkles in her eyes.

"Jessica," he said. "That's enough. Leave Zoey and her Pokemon alone."

"Why?"

Gary took a Pokeball out from his belt and threw it in the air.

"Squirtle, come on out!"

The Pokeball opened up and out came Squirtle.

"Squirtle!" said the little turtle.

"Because," said Gary. "I want to battle Zoey."

Zoey looked at him.

"You want to battle...me?"

"Yeah, your Charmander against my Squirtle."

And that's the end of the chapter. Oh and in case you were wondering, Jessica isn't evil. She's just snobbish and self-centered. She actually does care for her Pokemon, but doesn't show it much. She trains her Pokemon to be tough to impress Gary and out smart Zoey. Reviews are most welcomed. :)
