Heyya! It's been a while since Chapter 2; but I've been inspired and decided to finish chapter 3! And in its full, for you all to enjoy. Here it is!
Chapter 3
"..This isn't working," Luc said, before letting out a sigh. Attempting to use the Technical Machine given to him by Liam on Nidoran, attempting to cram it into the forehead of his lil' Poison Pin partner.
"Oh well.. I guess we can head on now," he said, picking Nidoran up and placing her on his head, heading out onto the grassy field where the Sceptile attacked him. A sign roughly scratched 'Route 3' rested/leaned against a wall.
"Ain't this fun.." Luc would sigh as he and Nidoran travelled across the Route, battling trainer after trainer. Amazingly different pokemon at each turn. Becoming more tedious than actually thrilling though... As they approached a pokecenter sitting on the outskirts of Mount Moon, Luc and Nidoran saw a man in a lab coat fiddling with a red - computerised device.
"You alright there man..? You seem kinda anxious," Luc would ask the man as he adjusted his glasses and ruffled white hair to respond.
"Err.. yes I'm fine.." He said in a semi-slimy tone "It's just that I need someone to Celadon city for me.. I have a parcel over there and I can't go get it myself."
"Oh well.. We could probably go get it..?" Luc would ask himself, looking towards his Nidoran.
"Oh really? That'd be great! Thank you! Here, here!" The man said, shoving the small red device into Lucs hands
"W-what is this? I-I'm not even a legal trainer..!" Luc sputtered
"It doesn't matter! You can get a trainer license in Cerulean city, on the other side of Mount Moon, here, take these as well!" Luc would have more objects pushed onto him, as two small cases were shoved into his arms, and the man started to return back in the direction of Pewter city.
"...What the hell..?" Luc would mutter, opening both cases and placing them on the ground to inspect.
One of the cases had 8 slots indented into it, the one in the top left being in the shape of the badge he'd received. Reluctantly, Luc placed the badge in the slot, fitting perfectly.
"Oh.. this must be a badge case," Luc would close it and put it into his small blue backpack, looking towards the second case: it had 6 slots in it, 5 of which contained more pokeballs, empty of course.
"Oh.. so I can catch more members of my team.. wow.. I wish I could thank that guy, eh, I'm going to get his parcel from Celadon anyway.. I guess this is the least he could do, or the like of it it least." Luc would turn to the cave leading into Mount Moon.
"Ready Nidoran..?"
"Ni-do Raaan!" The little blue poison pin would chime with glee in its tone.
"Alright then.. 'ere we go.." Luc muttered, as he picked up his little companion and headed into the depths of Mount Moon.
"This is... ominous..." Luc would say as he and Nidoran defeated a trainer and their Geodude.
"This place is really creepy... I couldn't be more uncomfortable..!" Luc sighed, continuing to travel into the dark mountain..
As Luc proceeded. He came across another boy; his clothes were white and blue, with a black tank top. He seemed slightly off..
When he turned around to notice Luc. Nidoran shuttered and took a step back.
"Everything O.K buddy?" Luc asked.
"N-Nido, Nidoran!" Nidoran would chant, anger in its eyes
"What the.. you!" The boy would impose, looking towards the little mouse. Nidoran jumping behind Luc in fright.
"Err.. Yo?" Luc would mutter, not fully understanding the situation
"What are you doing with that excuse for a Nidoran! That Sceptile was surely gonna kill it!" he'd say, beginning to mutter.
"Sceptile..? Wait.. you're this Nidoran's trainer.. You're the one that left it to die!" Luc would yell, anger showing in his eyes
"What the hell are you doing here? Mount moon isn't for sad excuse trainers. Only for powerful ones." The boy would mutter, changing topic.
"We've beaten Liam. I'm heading to Cerulean. Ain't that right Nidoran?" Luc would state, cockiness in his voice.
"Grr.. You think you're all hot? Well you're not! I could beat you in battle EASY."
"Nidoran. You up for this?" Luc would question, looking towards his new friend for confirmation, determination flashing in his eyes. Nidoran reluctantly then nods, jumping in front of Luc to his aid.
"F-fine!" The boy mutters, equipping a pokeball from his pocket, sending it into the air as it opened in a red flash; summoning a turtle, a blue turtle with tufts for ears and tail.
"Wartortle!" The blue, fanged pokemon yelled.
"Huh.. neat.." Luc would mutter, as Nidoran readied her stance
"Let's go! Poison sting attack!" Luc exclaimed, an attack Nidoran had learnt during battle with other trainers
"Ha! Rapid Spin!" The boy commanded, the turtle retreating to its shell, rushing towards Nidoran, deflecting not only the Poison sting, but also attacking and knocking Nidoran backwards.
"Tch.." Luc would grunt, attempting to think of a counter to the bounding turtle, repeatedly striking Nidoran with an incredible speed, bouncing off walls and rocks..
"Damnit all.. Nidoran! Double kick the ground and jump!"
Nidoran did such, back legs glowing, kicking the ground and launching Nidoran in the air above them all.
"Ha! Wartortle use Water Gun!" the boy would yell, the Wartortle firing a powerful jet of water at the Poison pin Pokemon which was currently above.
"S-****! Nidoran!" Luc would yell, Nidoran being blasted with water and being knocked into the ceiling above them all.
"You can't beat me! You're weak! I'm going to be the most powerful trainer this world has ever seen! Ha Ha Ha!"
"N-Nidoran.." The poison pin would mutter, standing up from the crushing fall from the large height.
"T-Tch.." Luc would mutter, worried, thinking of his next move... He didn't have much to do and he was running out of options
"I... I don't know what to do... I.. I don't wanna lose though.." Luc looked up from the floor towards his partner, who was looking back at him, eyes that showed that she believed in him. Luc would nod,
"Let's go! Nidoran! Scratch attack!"
As Nidoran ran towards the opponent, left paw glowing white.. The white glow began to spread to the rest of her body..? Nidoran began to grow: ears and back growing large spikes, a longer tail growing from the Pokemon's behind..
"W-what's going on..?" Luc would question, confused.
"E-evolution..." The boy opposing Luc would stutter as the glow faded back to both of the Pokemon's paws... The Pokemon would have grown and would be in front of the Wartortle by now, the Pokemon would stand on its hind legs…
"Nidorina!" It would yell in a deeper tone, beginning to slash with rapid fury at the Wartortle opposing it
"H-holy.." Luc would mutter to himself, clenching his fist and raising it in front of himself. "Yeah.. yeah! Go for it!"
The 'Nidorina' would run back to Luc's side, as the Wartortle fell backwards, incapacitated.
"W-what the hell.. T-this isn't over kid! I'll beat you yet!" The boy would quickly return his partner, running deeper into the cave
"What a creep.." Luc would mutter, as his 'Nidorina' jumped into his arms, a large grin on its face
"Nido!" the Nidorina would growl affectionately, closing her eyes to indicate her sheer pleasure at the fact Luc was its new partner.
"Huh.." Luc would chuckle "I guess you're the new Nidoran, eh?"
"Ni-Do-Ri-Na~!"
