CHAPTER 2
Kai’s big day hadn’t gone as plan, firstly not getting a starter then getting paralyzed by his starter was not the best way to start but hopefully the next day would be better.
The sun streaked into Kai’s bedroom through the drapes. Today Kai was ready early. It was about six in the morning and he was deciding what outfit to use. Clothes were lying all over his room as he searched through his drawer. He found a pair of worn out black jeans, and since worn out was the latest fashion he put it on. He began searching for a T-shirt. He opened his closet and began flinging hangers looking for a shirt he liked. He pulled out a brand new shirt; it was a sort army pattern. As he looked out the window, he saw the trees rustling and thought it might be cold. He grabbed a denim jacket and stuffed it into his bag. Just as he was leaving the house, he put on a red cap. When looked into the mirror he realized that the cap was a bit too much.
When Kai left the house almost all of Pallet was there to send him off. Kai felt like a celebrity until he realized most of the people wanted to see the boy who paralyzed by his own pokemon. Kai walked to the edge of Pallet where professor Oak was waiting for him. "This is a pokedex, it records pokemon you’ve captured and seen, these are pokeballs you know what they’re for.
Kai felt that he had been walking for hours until he looked at his watch, he had been walking for only ten minutes. The sun was torture the day before was nice and cool. It must be like 100 degrees Kai thought to himself. He had just reached the one-hour mark and decided to rest. He found a nice spot under a tree. As he started drinking water, he fell asleep.
Kai awoke after about twenty minutes and began searching for his water bottle. He looked all around the tree. He looked at the grassy area next to the tree and saw a Pidgey playing with his water bottle. The lid was open and the water had run out. "Nice Pidgey, give me back my bottle," Kai said as he stepped closer to the pokemon.
He was few steps from the pokemon when big Pidgeot swooped down from the tree to protect the Pidgey. Kai started taking a few steps back. The Pidgeot started making some high-pitched noises. As it did this Pidgeotto from other tree came together like a flock. Kai had one chance he was standing in some soft soil; he reached down and picked up a hand full. Pidgeot spread its wings preparing to attack. "Not today!" cried out Kai as he flung the mud into Pidgeot’s face. Kai started running as fast as he could into the woods hoping for the trees to provide cover.
The bird pokemon were faster than Kai expected. Then it hit him he forgot his bag. He only had one chance to go back. In a feat of amazing agility he did a baseball slide so that the bird pokemon fly over him and he can run back to his bag. Kai ran back to the tree where his bag was. When he found his bag there was a problem. There was a Weedle on his bag. "Shoo, go away," Kai told the bug pokemon as he tried to get it of his bag. Realizing that the bird pokemon would soon catch up to him.
He picked up the bag with the Weedle on it. Kai stared run along the path, as the bird pokemon didn’t allow him to go into the forest. Kai knew he had no chance to out run the bird pokemon sent out his Gastly. "Stop them Gastly," he called out as unleashed his pokemon. Gastly came out of the ball with a big smile on his face. Kai had stopped running.
On seeing the bird pokemon, Gastly began to float away as fast as a bullet. "Hey wait up," Kai called out as he tried to catch Gastly. It was soon clear to Kai that he was running into a trap. Most of the Pidgeotto began to pull out and fly above. Kai took his eyes of the path and when he looked front, he saw a tree. Gastly and Kai tried to stop as the Weedle tried to jump. Kai collided into Gastly and the three of them phased through the tree as the bird pokemon rammed into the tree.
Kai, Gastly and Weedle stopped to catch their breath as they thought that they were in no danger. Before they had a chance to get up, Pidgeot and the rest of the Pidgeotto surrounded them. "I must be the most unlucky person in the world," Kai said to himself as Pidgeot prepared to attack. Suddenly Weedle began to speak. Then Kai looked up into the tree and saw it was full of Beedrill. The Beedrill swarmed out of the tree to protect Weedle. The bug pokemon out numbered the bird pokemon, realizing this Pidgeot flew and the other birds did so. "Maybe my lucks finally changed," he mumbled to himself and Gastly. Then it hit him, Pidgeotto no longer surrounded him, Beedrill surrounded him.
Just as the Beedrill were about to attack, Weedle began communicating to them. Weedle was doing different gestures as he explained. Kai and Gastly looked puzzled but relaxed. The Beedrill went back to sleep in the tree. Kai let out a sigh of relief as he picked his back up and continued on his way to viridian.
After walking for a while, he realized that Weedle was following him so walked over to Weedle. "Hey little fellow, forget something in my bag," he joked as Weedle climbed onto his shoulder. "Do you want to travel with me as one of my pokemon?" he asked Weedle. Kai took a pokeball out of his pocket and tapped it on Weedle’s head. In a red flash Weedle went into the pokeball. My first pokemon Kai screamed as he jumped up and down.
"We are not creatures of circumstance; we are creators of circumstance."
