Chapter 11: Onward Towards Vermillion City
"Your pokemon are fully healed" Nurse Joy said as she handed them each of their pokeballs back.
The group headed out the Pokemon Center towards the next city, "Vermillion City is our next goal" Daisuke said.
"So, exactly who is the next gym leader?" Kite asked.
"Um… Let me see, according to the handbook, it is Lt. Surge" Daisuke said.
"Lt. Surge? Sounds like he will be trouble" Green said
"Just depends, he specializes in electric types" Daisuke said looking into his hand book.
"Well whatever type he specializes in I am going to beat him" Kite said determined.
"So is this the way to Vermillion City" Kite asked as they reached a sign that read "Route 5."
"Yep this is the way we go, then we through Saffron City and then on Route 6 and Vermillion City" Daisuke said.
"Sounds like a lot of traveling" Green said excited.
"It's cool, we can capture new pokemon and stuff" Kite said excited
"Alright let's go" Daisuke said as they headed down Route 5.
"I need to catch some pokemon" Kite said determined.
The group kept walking until they got to a building that said Checkpoint on top, a guard was standing in front of the building.
"Are you boys planning on going to Saffron City?" The guard asked.
"Yes we are, we need to get to Route 6 in order to get to Vermillion City" Daisuke explained.
"Well Saffron City is closed off to travelers for now" The guard said.
"What? Why?" Daisuke asked.
"Team Rocket invaded Silph Co., therefore we can't allow anyone to enter Saffron City until we defeat them" The guard explained.
"We will defeat them!" Kite and Daisuke said determined.
"Really? How many badges do you each have?" The guard asked.
"We each have 2 each" Kite said with pride.
"That is all? I'm sorry but you will be no match for Team Rocket" The guard said.
"Sure we can! We can beat anybody if we put our minds to it! Kite almost beat Blue when we first started" Daisuke shouted.
"I can't, I am sorry" the guard said.
"But I will make you guys a deal since y'all seem determined, once you require the rainbow badge from Celadon City, come back and one of you will battle me in a pokemon battle, if just one of you wins against me, then I will let you in to Saffron City" The guard told them.
"Sounds great!" Kite shouted determined.
"But how are we supposed to get to Route 6 if we can't go through Saffron City?" Daisuke asked confused.
"There is an underground passage to the right of me, you can get to Route 6 from there" The guard said.
"Thanks" The group said in unison.
"Don't mention it, but when you come back be prepared" The guard shouted.
The boys entered the underground tunnel and headed towards Route 6.
"Those boys have the potential to be great, if anyone can defeat Team Rocket, it will be them." The guard thought to himself.
"Well that changed our plans" Daisuke said.
"I'm so pumped up now, we have to hurry and get to Celadon City!" Kite shouted with excitement.
"But first we have to defeat Lt. Surge" Daisuke said determined.
"Not a problem" Kite said determined.
They continued their way down the Underground Passage, until a swarm of Zubat started flying around.
"There Zubats" Green said, "Who can try to catch one of those" Green advised.
"I'm okay, I never really liked Zubats" Kite said as the group kept walking.
The group made it to the end of the tunnel and exited, "Well we are on Route 6 now" Daisuke said.
"How can you tell?" Green asked.
"The sign" Daisuke said pointing to the sign that said Route 6.
"We should go over to that pond" Kite suggested.
"Why?" Daisuke asked.
"I don't know, just feel like checking it out" Kite said.
The group walked over to the pond and Kite sat towards the edge staring into the water.
"The reason is, Gyarados" Kite said.
"Gyarados?" Green said confused. Daisuke sat as well because he knew exactly what Kite was talking about since they have been friends their whole lives.
"When I was little, my father always told me stories of a legendary Red Gyarados" Kite said.
"My father had a Gyarados, he told me that his Gyarados would be the strongest in the world" Kite continued.
"So my father ventured out in search of the Red Gyarados in order to defeat it with his Gyarados" Kite continued.
"What happen?" Green asked.
"I don't know, I haven't seen my father since. But it has been my dream to own a Gyarados and defeat the Red Gyarados" Kite said determined.
The group sat in silence for a second and then Kite stood up pulling out a poke ball.
"But first I need to catch one, Wartortle, let's go" Kite said calling out Wartortle.
Wartortle dove in the water and came up about thirty seconds later, "Anything?" Kite asked, Wartortle just shaked his head.
"Darn" Kite said disappointed.
"Why not just catch a Magikarp?" Green asked.
"You know how hard it is to train a Magikarp? Also my dad told me a natural evolving Magikarp is much stronger than a trained one" Kite explained.
Just then a pokemon jumped up from the water and shot a large burst of water at Wartortle.
"What the heck?" Kite jumped. "Poliwag, the Tadpole Pokemon. It has no arms, but its tail makes it a good swimmer." The pokedex said.
"It was also using Hydro Pump" Daisuke said amazed.
"I am going to catch it" Kite said determined, "Wartortle use Rapid Spin" Kite shouted.
Wartorle retreated to his shell and spun rapidly towards the Poliwag and striking him in the chest.
"Now use Aqua Tail" Kite commanded Wartortle's tail was covered in water spirals; Wartortle jumped towards Poliwag swing his tail.
Poliwag jumped towards Wartortle and swung his tail, the two pokemon tails clashed and both pokemon flew back. Poliwag then used Hydro Pump, the large burst of water struck Wartortle in the chest causing him to fall back into the water.
"Wartortle use Water Gun and Rapid Spin" Kite commanded, Wartortle shot out of the water spinning rapidly while water was spinning around his shell. Wartortle struck Poliwag in the chest and slammed him into the ground.
"Go Pokeball" Kite shouted throwing a pokeball, the pokeball collided with the fainted Poliwag and stopped blinking.
"Sweet, got me a Poliwag" Kite said with pride.
"Awesome, but I thought you said you wanted a Gyarados" Green said jokingly.
"Just watch, I will get one" Kite laughed.
"Well we better get moving, Vermillion City is just up the path" Daisuke said.
"Sounds good" Kite said.
The group noticed a man with hiking clothes on walking up to them, "The name is Jo, I just caught a pretty strong Geodude, want to have a battle?" Jo said.
"Alright, how about a 2 on 2?" Kite asked.
"Sounds good to me" Jo replied.
"Go Poliwag" Kite shouted.
"A Poliwag, not a bad choice" Jo chuckled, "But my Geodude is much stronger, go Geodude" Jo shouted as Geodude appeared.
"I will go first! Rock throw Geodude" Jo commanded, Geodude started to throw many rocks at Poliwag.
"Let's see what moves you got" Kite said quickly looking at his pokedex.
"Poliwag use double slap" Kite shouted, Poliwag jumped in the air and started to smack the rocks away with its tail.
"Geodude use rollout" Jo commanded, Geodude curled up into a ball and quickly rolled towards Poliwag.
"No problem, Poliwag use Hydro Pump" Kite commanded, Poliwag shot a very large burst of water that collided with the Geodude causing him to faint.
"Geodue!" Jo shouted, "No matter, I was saving the best for last, Bulbasaur" Jo shouted as Bulbasaur appeared.
"A Bulbasaur? How did you get one of those?" Daisuke asked.
"I caught it, just because it is a starter pokemon doesn't mean it's not in the wild" Jo explained.
"Well fine, I will use Wartortle" Kite commanded as he recalled Poliwag complimenting it and then calling out Wartortle.
"Bulbasaur use Vine Whip" Jo commanded, Bulbasaur shot its vines out and wrapped around Kite's Wartortle flinging him into the air and then slammed him into the ground.
"Wartortle!" Kite shouted, but Wartortle got back up appearing unaffected.
"Wow Wartortle you have gotten strong" Kite complimented, "Let's give it everything we got!" Kite said determined.
"Wartortle use rapid spin and water gun" Kite commanded.
"Not so fast, Bulbasaur razor leaf" Jo commanded, Bulbasaur started shooting leafs but Squirtle was dodging them and then hit Bulbasaur.
"Bulbasaur!" Jo shouted, Bulbasaur managed to barely stand back up glowing in the process, "It's evolving" Jo said in amazement.
"Ivysaur, the Seed Pokemon, The bulb on its back absorbs nourishment and blooms into a large flower" the pokedex stated.
"And you learned a new move, Take Down" Jo said proudly, "Now Ivysaur use Take Down" Jacob commanded.
"No matter, my Wartortle is strong, use Aqua Tail" Kite shouted, the two pokemon charged at each other, their attacks clashed both showing no signs of weakness.
Ivysaur finally managed to overpower Wartortle, "Now use Vine Whip" Jo shouted. Ivysaur wrapped its vines around Wartortle's leg and started spinning him around at a fast rate and then slammed Wartortle into the ground.
"Wartortel! Kite shouted, Wartortle however managed to get back up as if he was unharmed.
"Alright Wartortle, use Rapid spin" Kite shouted, Wartortle went into its shell and started to spin rapidly towards Ivysaur.
"Ivysaur use take down" Jo commanded, Ivysaur charged towards the spinning Wartortle.
"Wartortle use Aqua Tail!" Kite quickly shouted, right before the two clashed Wartortle flew over Ivysaur's head then used the momentum of the rapid spin to slam its aqua tail into Ivysaurs head causing it to faint.
"Ivysaur" Jo said shocked, "Darn I lost, oh well at least my Bulbasaur evolved" Jo said happily.
"It was a close battle, I got worried for a second there" Kite said.
"Yea, well we will battle again" Jo shouted as he ran off towards Vermillion City.
"We better head that way to" Daisuke said.
"Finally" Green said, "Got to go catch up to my brother" Green said.
The group started walking towards Vermillion City, "Can't wait to get my hands on my third badge" Kite said excited.
"Stop right there" A boy stood in front of the group who was wearing a red jacket with jeans and a red hat.
"Who are you?" Kite asked.
"I heard you challenged Blue" the boy said.
"Yea, I almost won, but who are you?" Kite continued.
"The name is Red" Red said lifting his head up revealing his eyes and the rest of his face.
"Red?" Green said as her eyes widened.
"So you're Red" Kite said a little angrily.
"Yes, the one who will become the next Kanto Champion" Red said with determination in his eyes.
