[Best Veteran March/May 2011] A new professor in town - Kanto Adventure PG13

"Don't you dare!!!" Sean screamed highly angry. Growlithe was snarling at them, with teeth bared ready to attack them if they did anything. The men moved closer and closer with a net. "Growlithe!! Quick! Use Roar to scare them off!" Sean had commanded before they got the chance to swipe Growlithe. Growlithe started to growl threateningly, with eyes glowing red and teeth foaming, to scare them. Then, Growlithe let out a huge bark that scared them, the Men dropping to the floor weak. Even Nidoking was frightened. The man who was the boss, however, wasn't.
"Nidoking! Grab it quick!" However, Nidoking refused to move as it was quite scared of Growlithe, which was still Growling, facing the Boss. Sean went over to Kairi. "Come on Kairi! Wake up! Me and Growlithe are going to handle these thugs, just hang in there!" Kairi was breathing, but still unconscious.
Just after that, the Boss had ran towards Growlithe with the net the men had carried. Before the Boss had carried Growlithe off, Growlithe had leaped onto the Boss' body, knocking him over and viciously bit his face. The Boss had shouted, "Ugggghh!".
"Growlithe, use Ember straight forward to knock them away!" Then Growlithe started to charge up a fireball in its mouth, still in the state of anger. When the fireball was charged up, Growlithe had sent the ball flying at great speed, sending them all back right into the sky.
"Great work Growlithe! I was so worried back then! Now, we have to save Kairi." they then turned to Kairi, still in the net with her arm dislocated.​
 
Kairi also had a bad bump on her head from hitting the tree. She wasn't waking up. Just then Pikachu woke up and ran over to Kairi,"Pika pi! Pikachu," he didn't want to shock her to wake her as she was already hurt enough. Pikachu was also breathing heavey from it's wounds. Kairi's other Pokemon were still out of it.
 
Sean noticed that Pikachu was up, but Kairi was not. In the Pokemon Handbook it said something about a berry that could heal Pokemon and Humans too. He would need as much help as possible though to get one. Then, he decided to bring out each one of his Pokemon, and he called Pikachu over. "Alright, we need your help to get Kairi better, so here's the plan." Sean got his handbook out of his backpack. "Alright, here it is." he turned to the page with a picture of the Sitrus Berry. "We need to find one of these, it will make her better. Let's split up. Nidoran, go up Route 2, Pikachu go down Route 3, Beedrill search the trees and me and Growlithe will look around the city." they all followed the orders, and they all went off to search.

Sean and Growlithe checked around Pewter City to look for the Sitrus Berry. There was not much luck, as a city like that would barely have any plant material at all.
About an hour later, they stopped searching and waited next to the net incase she woke up, she didn't. However, when they got back, each one of the Pokemon had came back to the City. Beedrill who was searching the trees, had found one. "Alright! Pass it here!" Beedrill had gave him the berry, and tried to put it in Kairi's mouth.​
 
It went in and Kairi woke up screaming,"Nidoking! Ahhhhh! Your not getting my Pikachu!"
 
OOC: damn, i leave this Rp for two day, then when I come back, there are two pages of posts between me and my last section XD

"Weedle, lets do this!" Warren shouted as he released his third and final Pokemon. The Hair Bug appeared, pumped up and ready for battle. Warren gasped - Weedle was practically glowing with excitement...wait, it actually was glowing! As both Gym Leader and Trainer looked on, Weedle fired a string shot around its entire body, wrapping it around itself tighter and tighter until it was completely encased. Then, the glow pulsed one more time and the String shot hardened and turned a dark yellow. A completely different Pokémon was now standing right where Weedle had been, moments before.
"Kaaaaaaaakuna!" it shouted, then promptly fell over. Warren sighed. Weedle may have evolved, but in doing so, it had lost the power of movement. Or had it? A sudden inspiration came to Warren.
"Kakuna, use string shot on the ceiling!" he shouted and the cocoon Pokémon attached itself to the ceiling, before reeling in the silk until it was at eye level with Onix.
"Try to swing forwards and use Poison Sting!" Warren shouted and Kakuna flew forwards on its silken rope before flying forwards, sliding out its large stinger as it did so. Onix and Brock gaped as the bug landed directly between Onix's eyes, jabbing it with the stinger. Kakuna then rolled head-over-heels down Onix's nose and, after firing a string shot onto its lower jaw, swung round and jabbed it in the neck. Onix flicked its head and Kakuna went flying, but it simply hardened and bounced harmlessly off the floor. Onix didn't seem too bothered by the wounds, but there was a purple liquid around the cut in its neck - poison. Warren grinned as he realised that he might just have a chance.
"Onix, Tackle that Bug!" Brock shouted and Warren simply ordered:
"Up, Kakuna!" Onix slid along the ground at a tremendous speed, but Kakuna simply fired its String Shot at the ceiling yet again and Onix ploughed straight underneath, right into a wall. It reared back a large chip in its horn. At least, Warren hoped it was a horn.
"String shot around Onix!" Warren shouted and Kakuna instantly obeyed, dropping from the ceiling before using its String shot to orbit around Onix like a tiny, poisonous satellite.
"Counter with Bind!" Onix flicked up its tail and wrapped it around Kakuna, starting to squeeze. That was its fatal mistake. Warren grinned.
"Harden, then String shot towards its head!" Kakuna toughened up, then with a tremendous effort, freed itself from Onix's bind. With a 'pop' sound, he shot out of the tightly wound tail and struck Onix in the side of the face. Driven mad by pain, poison and infuriation, Onix threw one last tackle at Kakuna. It glance off its shell, then smashed into the wall and lay there unconscious. Brock was speechless.
"How...how...a Kakuna..?" Warren, having just fought a hard battle, was not in the mood for stutterers. Grabbing Kakuna by the non-pointy end, he jabbed it in the direction of Brock's face and said
"Badge. Reward. Now." Brock gave a wry smile, then reluctantly handed over the boulder badge. Warren grinned as he took it, then clipped it onto the front of his belt where it caught the sun every time he turned.
"Okay, good job Kakuna!" he grinned as he walked out the door. "I'll take you lot back to Nurse Clone, then we'll set off for Mt. moon!"
 
Kairi has awoken from her unconsciousness. She was still scared that Nidoking was still there, so Sean had told her, "It's alright. Nidoking is gone, and so are the men in black.". Sean had just remembered about the battle he was going to have with Calvin. "Alright, now that you're ok I must go back to Route 3. See ya!" Sean had then went back down Route 3, towards the place where he saw Calvin. He wasn't standing there anymore, instead, he was searching the big grass. "I'm back." Sean had called him. Calvin then came out of the grass. "So, are you ready to battle now?"
"I think so." Sean hoped that this time there would be no disruptions.​
 
Kairi ran over to her fainted Pokemon She returned them. She then picked up Pikachu and ran back to Pewter City to heal her Pokemon. Nurse Joy saw her Pokemon. Her Pikachu was in the worse shape. Nurse Joy told Kairi that she didn't know if there was anything she could do for Pikachu.

An hour later though, Butterfree, Spearow, Nidoran♀ and Ratatta were healed thought. Pikachu was still in the emercy room. Kairi was worried about it. Pikachu was in intense care,'If I run into that guy again, he's going to pay for doing this to Pikachu.' Kairi thought.

Kairi saw Jill enter the room. This time she wasn't being mean like she normally does. In fact she told Kairi she was sorry for picking on her at the hotal, after Kairi had told her about Pikachu,"Is there any chance he'll get better?" Jill asked.

"I don't know, Jill. Nurse Joy said it looked pretty bad," Kairi answered, a few tears coming out of her eyes. Pikachu was Kairi's best friend now. She didn't want to lose it.

***

Kairi got a room that night at the Pewter City Pokemon Center, so she could be near Pikachu. That night Kairi laid on her bed crying. She was so worried about Pikachu,"If only I hadn't been so weak that wouldn't have happened," she thought as she sobbed. Kairi fell asleep crying.

Jill stayed in the lobby sleeping in there, so that she could go wake Kairi at the sightist change, that Pikachu took.
 
The two of them were ready to start their battle. Calvin was young, but very brave and confident, he wasn't scared at all and looked fair. "C'mon out, Spearow!" Calvin threw the ball to the ground, opening the small, brown bird. "Alright. Come on Growlithe!" Growlithe had looked ready to fight. The two were staring at each other, looking ready. "Growlithe! Use Bite!" Sean had ordered. Growlithe had ran up to the Spearow with great speed, then before the Growlithe had attacked, Calvin quickly commanded to Spearow, "Use Growl!". The Spearow had started to make a rather cute squark which made Growlithe attack less harder, and caused the bite attack to stop. "You're really good for your age Calvin." Sean had admitted to him. "Thanks! But you are much older and know more. Now, let me show you how great my Spearow can do. Use Peck!" Spearow had then came running right up to Growlithe, with the beak flat out, ready to stab Growlithe. "Quick! Use Leer!" Sean had quicky commanded. Growlithe stared in the eyes of Spearow, which were then turning gold, intimidating Spearow. "Now! Use Ember!" Growlithe had then built up a flame in its mouth, which was then launched into the air. Spearow had then been startled with the ball hit it right in the wings. "Uh Oh. That looks like it must have hurt." Calvin had looked at the Spearow, which wings were covered in ash. "Now. Use Fury Attack!" Calvin had told the Spearow.
Spearow then started flapping its wings, and headed for Growlithe. "Oh No! Watch out Growlithe!" Then Spearow had came flying from the ground, pecking Growlithe sevreral times. Each jab it made had hurt, and had left a few broozes. "Hang in there Growlithe!" Then Sean had realizesd that he could heal Growlithe back up with the Potions in his bag, so he did. Once he reached for one at the section of his bag that he keeps all medicines, he sprayed it all over Growlithe's broozes, which had all shrunk away. "Aw! I should have got them!" Calvin had wished he could heal Spearow back up too. "Now, fire another Ember from your mouth Growlithe!" Sean had commanded to Growlithe.
Growlithe charged up another ball of fire in its throat, and launching it out, headed towards Spearow, and hitting it right in the face.
"Don't go down yet Spearow!" Calvin had told it, cheering it back up. But it was too late, Spearow had fell to the ground with swirls in its eyes, knocked out.

"Wow! You sure are a great battler!" Calvin was impressed, and wanted to be like him. "Nah, you are great for your age. Keep it up, and you'll be as great as me." Sean was ready to keep walking. "Well, I guess I'll see you some other time. I'll always be training here. Bye!" Calvin waved him off. Sean was walking closer towards the huge mountain, known as Mt. Moon. Eventually, he reached a Pokemon Center right next to it. There was not much point, as all his Pokemon were healthy. However, there was a rope next to the entrance to the cave, apparently it could be used to get people out if they were lost. "Hmm, this might come in handy." Sean shoved it in his bag, and decided that now was the time to go inside the mountain.​
 
After healing their Pokemon at the Pokemon centre, most trainers expect to be greeted by a joyful reunion. Poliwag was happy to oblige, but Rattata was giving Warren the silent treatment and Kakuna was nowhere to be seen. Warren, unlike most trainers, did not hug his pokemon and congratulate them on the win. Instead, he held Poliwag back until it got the message that he didn't want a hug, completely ignored Rattata and marched over to Nurse joy, or as he had taken to called her: 'Clone thing'.
"Hey, Nurse, where's my Kakuna?" he asked, rather rudely. Nurse Joy smiled and nodded,
"Well, I think its better if I show you, rather than trying to explain." Warren followed her through to a room in the back with a sense of mounting trepidation. When she opened the door, nothing seemed to be out of the ordinary. Kakuna was in the middle of the room, hanging from the ceiling by a silken thread. Suddenly, a furious buzzin sound erupted from it and a large crack appeared in the front of Kakuna's shell. Warren started as a large, silver stinger slowly forced itself out of the tiny hole,cracking off the rest of the shell in the process. What was left was a curled up ball of what appeared to be clingfilm. Warren frowned, but then, the ball unravelled, revealing another stinger, red eyes and a large, striped, black and yellow body. The new pokemon looked up at Warren. He grinned.
"Nice one...Beedrill!"

Less than an hour later, Warren was wandering down Route 3, the path towards Mt. Moon, with Beedrill testing out its new wings above him, Poliwag marching happily beside and Rattata loitering behind with a look on her face that scared even Warren. Suffice to say, Pokemon do not like being kicked at high speed into wooden beams.
"Hey, help me!" Warren heard the voice from up ahead, unmistakeably female and unmistakably familiar. Warren rouded the next corner and gasped on surprise. Liv was huddled against a cliff face, her butterfree lying unconscious beside her. Slowly advancing on them was a Mankey, and it looked mad about something. Warren sighed. He knew what he had to do - it was becoming a regular occurence.

"Warren, use Mega Kick!"

Note - the title specifying the rarity of a pokémon refers to how hard a pokémon is to catch. i.e. a much better post is required to catch an uncommon pokémon than to catch a common pokémon.
How I level the pokémon you're catching will depend on how good your post is. When you're trying to catch a pokémon, you cannot decide if you catch it. When trying to catch a pokémon you have to finish your post off when you throw the pokéball and wait for my response telling you if the capture was successful or not. You cannot continue until you know that it was caught. In battles, I will level up your pokémon depending on the quality of your battle post.

The next day, Kairi heard a,"Pika!" Coming from the other room. Just then Jill ran into the room,"Kairi! Pikachu is up."

Kairi jumped up right away and ran downstairs. Nurse Joy came out and handed her, her Pikachu,"It's all better. It's a miracule," Nurse Joy told her,"But you should still have it take it easy for awhile. No more battles for awhile."

"Ok, sure Nurse Joy," Kairi told her. She picked up Pikachu, said goodbye to Jill and walked out of the Pokemon Center. She went down to the Mart. She brought 5 more Pokeballs, a Pokeblock Case and a Poffin Case. She then headed out to Route 3. When she got there she found a lot of people sleeping.

Kairi walked over to one person and shoke him awake,"What happened?" She asked him.

"Beware," the man said,"There is a Jigglypuff who has been putting everyone to sleep with it's Summer Song. If you run into it, beware. It will put you to sleep." He warned Kairi.

But Kairi thought,'Cool! A Jigglypuff. Now that's a Pokemon that really would help me win Contests.' Kairi started walking down the road searching for any signs of a Jigglypuff,"Jigglypuff! Where are you Jigglpuff!? Jigglypuff!" Kairi called for it,"Why don't you help me look for it Pikachu?"

Pikachu got down on all fours, and started smelling around trying to smell out Jigglypuff. Pretty soon, Kairi heard some singing off in the distense. She and Pikachu ran ahead, just in time to see a Jigglypuff drawing with a marker on a man's face who had fallen asleep, while it was singing.

"Hey! Jigglypuff how about a battle? If you win, I'll listen to your song," Kairi told it. Jigglypuff turned around and said,"Jiggly!" Accepting Kairi's challenge.

"Alright. Go Spearow!" Kairi sent out her Spearow,"Peck attack!" Spearow flew at Jigglypuff who dodged the attack. It then used Pound attack on Spearow. "Spearow! Leer attack!" Kairi called.

Spearow used Leer on Jigglypuff, lowering it's rate of hits. Jigglypuff got mad and used it's sing attack putting Spearow to sleeping,"Come on Spearow! Get up please?" Kairi begged. It was no use, Spearow was fast asleep,"Oh what's the use," Kairi recalled Spearow. The Jigglypuff was laughing. She thought this was very funny,"You think that's funny well check this out. Go Nidoran!" Nidoran♀ popped out of her ball. "Growl attack!" She told it.

Nidoran♀ growled at Jigglypuff lowing it's defense. Jigglypuf got mad, and rappily, pounded Nidoran♀ into the ground. Her Nidoran♀ fainted,"No! Nidoran!" Kairi screamed. She returned it. Kairi then sent out Ratatta,"Go! Ratatta! Use Tail Whip!" Ratatta used Tail Whip on Jigglypuff lowing it's attack,"Now Tackle!" Ratatta tackled Jigglypuff and just bumbed off of it, like a ping pong ball. Jigglypuff ran at Ratatta,"Ratatta quick! Move!" Ratatta jumped out of the way in time.

Jigglypuff then used it's sing again and put Ratatta to sleep. Kairi was down to her last Pokemon, cause Nurse Joy had told her to keep Pikachu out of battles for awhile,"Ok, I'm counting on you Butterfree," Kairi said as she returned Ratatta and sent out Butterfree. Jigglypuff tackled against Butterfree sending it flying. But it didn't do much damage as Butterfree was already flying in the air.

"Use String Shot, to keep it from being able to move," Kairi told her Butterfree. "Free!" Butterfree said releasing strings from it's mounth. Jigglypuff dodged it. "Try again!" Kairi told it. This time it worked. Jigglypuff couldn't move. It got ready to sing again.

"Oh no! Quick Butterfree use Confusion, before it puts you to sleep," Kairi quickly called. Butterfree's eyes started glowing, and then Jigglypuff got confused. It used Sing anyway, and just ended up puting itself to sleep,"Now! Butterfree Tackle it!" Kairi called. Butterfree tackled Jigglypuff knocking it out. Kairi pulled out a Pokeball and threw it. Jigglypuff went into the ball. The Pokeball started shaking. Butterfree flew back over to Kairi and just floatted there. Her, Pikachu and Butterfree watched the ball shake. Kairi got Butterfree ready to use another Confusion attack in case Jigglypuff popped back out. She watched and waited.
 
@Konekodemon - 'Kairi looked anxiously at the Pokéball, hoping her capture would be succesful. It tilted once and then with a flash of bright light, Jigglypuff re-emerged breathing heavily. The pokémon just stared at kairi for a while, then looked like she was going to sing again. No voice came, and all of a sudden the Jigglypuff's eyes went really wide and she keeled over backwards. Taking her chance, Kairi threw another Pokéball at the Jigglypuff. The Pokéball tilted from left to right before drawing itself into the centre and locking the Jigglypuff inside.'

Congratulations Kairi caught a Level 5 Jigglypuff

Kairi cheered, and hugged Butterfree. She then returned it to it's Pokeball, and then she picked up the ball with Jigglypuff in it. She then got lunch ready for her Pokemon, and herself. She let them all out, even her new Jigglypuff. Jigglypuff was going to sing, but then it saw all the nice Pokemon food out and decided to eat first.

Her Pikachu, Spearow, Ratatta, Nidoran♀, Butterfree and Jigglypuff sit down to eat. Kairi then cooked her food and ate it. Her Pokemon were pretty tried, so she decided to stay here for awhile and relax, letting her Pokemon have some fun and relax outside there balls.

But it wasn't to last as soon as it was done eating Jigglypuff started singing, putting everyone to sleep. She got mad and wrote on everyone's faces and returned herself to her Pokeball.
 
Sean creeped into the small hole of Mt. Moon. The place was huge, with a whole lot of exits and ways to get through. There was not many trainers, just a lot of noises of Pokemon which would normally be found in caves. Sean walked around the place, wondering which exit to the other side, little did he know that there was also more ways to get thorugh once he went down a ladder. Sean checked out the place, walking past a lot of rocks and boulders, seeing if there was another exit; his theory was that if there was an exit at the far side of the cave, it must be the way out. Once he walked past a few large boulders there was a large man next to the ladder. "Hey." The man had turned to him. "If you're going down here, then I gotta warn you, there are a lot of Team Rocket guys down there."
"Hmm, Team Rocket..." Sean had thought to himself, and back to the time where he saw the men in black with a red "R" on their shirts, this must be them. "No worries. I've handled them before." The man had let him down the ladder, which had led Sean down to another path. He could hear men talking, "Let's see if this place has some great Pokemon to snag.". Sean didn't like the sound of that. Once he walked around the corner to see the Team Rocket members, he could hear a noise, which sounded like flapping wings, which got louder and louder, closer and closer. Eventually, there was a small, blue Pokemon with purple wings and sharp teeth. Sean grabbed hold of his Pokedex.
"Zubat.The Bat Pokemon. It has no eyes. Instead, it relies on its ultrasonic cries for echo location to flit about in darkness."
The Zubat had made loud flapping vibrations with its wings, as if it was ready for battle.

"Come out, Nidoran!" Sean tossed the PokeBall on the ground, popping out the Nidoran, which was still young but strong. "Use Peck!" Sean ordered. Nidoran had charged right up towards Zubat ferociously. Zubat was rather intimidating, yet that did not stop Nidoran from attacking. Nidoran had charged right into the Zubat, with the horn jabbing it sharply. However, that did not totally weaken Zubat.
Zubat flew down towards Nidoran, with the teeth pointing out, and the jaw wide open. The Zubat had collaided with Nidoran, the teeth sucking out health right out of the body, this move was known as Leech Life. "Don't worry Nidoran! You can do it! Use Peck!" Yet again, Nidoran had pointed out the forehead, and charged straight into the small body of Zubat. "Alright!" Sean had cheered Nidoran on. After that, Zubat started to charge right down to Nidoran, yet again. "Use Leer!" Sean quickly told Nidoran, which had started to stare at Zubat. Even without the eyes, Zubat was intimidated by the look of golden eyes, which caused Zubat to crash to the ground, rather weak now. "Alright! Now's the time! PokeBall go!" Sean threw a PokeBall, while the chance was available. Once Zubat was in the PokeBall, like usual, the ball rumbled and jiggled.​

Decisions

It had gotten dark long before Rini arrived at the enterence to Veridian Forest, so she spread out her sleeping bag, and released Pidgey and Oddish.

As she fixed herself a cup of tea, she mulled over the delema of what she would do next, as she watched her pokemon play.

"I mostly want to sightsee, but I also want to be with pokemon." she took a sip. Then she suddenly smiled as an idea came to mind. "I'll try my hand at being a breeder. Might be fun." she giggled.

The next morning she packed up her things. Oddish had slept beside her, curled under one arm, and Pidgey in a nearby tree. She quickly returned Oddish and called up to Pidgey.

"Veridian Forest is full of bugs, I've heard. I'm countiong on you Pidgey."

Pidgey chirped and flew down to land on her shoulder. "When we arrive at Pewter I'll see what I can learn about breeding. What do you think Pidgey?"

Pidgey only chirped a response, and Rini smiled.

"Though I may take the gym challange as well. We'll see." She reached her hand back and scratched the top of Pidgey's head.

Together they entered the forest.
 
Location: Vermilion City

"So this is Vermilion City. It's.... quaint," Laura sighed as she entered the city. In her arms, Vulpix raised her head a little and gave her a curious look. "Oh, that's right. You don't even know where I'm from, do you, Vulpix? Well, let's just say that it's nothing like this." Sighing again, she fell into a sullen silence. 'The real difference is that these people have a lot more freedom than my parents give me....'

Remembering her pokemon's tough battles, she searched for the Pokemon center, which she found quite easily due to its tell-tale red roof. When she saw a pink-haired lady wearing nurse's clothes behind the counter, she asked shyly, "E-excuse me, ma'am. Can you take care of my Vulpix? She's been in some rough battles...." She gently handed Vulpix over to her, along with the pokeball.

"Of course!" the nurse answered sweetly. "You know, you should really buy some potions so that you can heal your Pokemon yourself anytime you're not near a Pokemon center. By the way, I'm Nurse Joy. What's your name?" She handed Vulpix off to a Chansey who took her into a back room.

"I'm Laura....," Laura managed to stop herself just in time from saying her real last name, "... Roycroft. Thank you for the advice, Nurse Joy. Umm... Can you tell me where the gym is? That is where trainers battle for badges, right?" She sighed in relief when Nurse Joy seemed to accept her name without question.

"Well, Laura, you do earn badges at gyms, but I'm afraid that our Gym Leader isn't there. You'll have to come back another time if you want the badge." When she saw Laura's face fall, she added, "But you could go to the Trainer School while Vulpix is being healed. You're just in time for the afternoon class, and you could learn all sorts of useful things about Pokemon there. If you have time, you could even have a battle at the Trainer House tomorrow just before you head toward Pallet Town."

Brightening, Laura exclaimed, "That sounds great! Thank you very much, Nurse Joy. I'll go right now!" After receiving directions from Nurse Joy, Laura ran to the Trainers School and arrived just as some other trainers were going in. She sat down in a desk at the back of the room and set her backpack down on the floor beside her.

Walking to the front of the room, the teacher greeted the class, "Good afternoon, young Pokemon Trainers and Coordinators. I hope you brought plenty of paper to take notes on because today we're going over Pokemon types and their advantages and disadvantages."

"Paper? I didn't know we needed any paper," Laura whined and obviously much too loudly because most of the people around her either hushed or laughed at her, and the teacher gave her a stern look. Sinking down in her seat, she hid her face in her hands, totally embarrassed.

"Pssst...," Looking up she saw a boy with brown, slightly spiked hair and a kind smile, holding out a notebook and pen. She stared at him for a few seconds before realizing that he meant for her to have them and beaming him a smile, mouthed him a grateful thank you. On the chalk board, she saw a list of common status ailments and their effects, which she managed to copy just before the teacher erased it to start the new lesson.

Some time later, a slightly tired and, hopefully, a more Pokemon educated Laura exited the Trainer School. Remembering Nurse Joy's earlier advice, she stopped at the pokemart and bought two potions, two antidotes, one paralyze heal, and a map of Kanto.

When she arrived back at the pokecenter, she got Vulpix back from Nurse Joy and headed to her room, number 114. Turning on the TV, she was shocked to see a picture of herself with large black letters saying "MISSING" over it. In fact, it was from the very picture of the one of herself and her parents that she always carried around in her locket. Turning up the volume, she listened in stunned silence at the anchorwomen began to speak.

"We interrupt this program for an emergency broadcast. Laura Kaelin, daughter of well-known tycoon Jack Kaelin, has been missing from her home on the outskirts of Kanto since early this morning and so far police have no leads. At this point, kidnapping is considered a high possibility, so if anyone has any information, they should inform their nearest police deparment. Mr. Kaelin has promised a generous reward for any information leading to the safe return of his daughter."

Unable to bear anymore, Laura turned off the TV, got ready for bed, and climbed into it, followed by Vulpix. Sighing, she opened her locket and stared intently at the picture inside until Vulpix curiously looked at it as well.

"Vul!?" Vulpix couldn't believe what she was seeing.

"That's right, Vulpix. I'm the missing girl who you saw on the television. I ran away, but.... I didn't think it would go this far.... and so soon." Rubbing against Laura's leg, the Pokemon tried to comfort her. "I don't want them to be worried, but if I go back now, my journey will be over and.... we might never see each other again..... I wouldn't be able to bear that, Vulpix, " she choked, tears forming in her eyes. Vulpix jumped into her arms, and she hugged her tightly. "Well, I guess that settles it," she continued, trying to sound a little cheerful. "We're going to keep going, and who knows? Maybe it'll all work out somehow." She sounded much more hopeful than she really felt.

A little while later, they fell asleep.

Leveling up

A short distance into the forest and Rini already found herself lost.

"Umm, maybe this way." she murmured and turned down a right path, only to find herself back where she started from. "Crud, Pidgey you have any ideas?"

Pidgey chirped and flew above the trees to take a look around.

While Pidgey was away, Rini leaned against a nearby tree, and was suddenly startled when a wild Kakuna fell from it's branches to land before her.

"Ahhh!"

Kakuna glared.

"Oh, I'm sorry. I ment..... Go Oddish!"

Oddish appeared, and did a little happy dance.

"Oddish absorb!"

Oddish absorbed some of Kakuna's strength.

It was to say the least, not very effective.

Kakuna then hardened it's shell. This had the effect of making Oddish's attacks do even less.

"Man..." Rini mumbled. "I wish Oddish knew more attacks. Try Sweet Scent!"

Oddish wafted a sweet necture-like scent in Kakuna's direction.

Kakuna's eyes glazed slightly as it took a deep breath, inhailing deeply. "Kakuna."

"Quck, while it's relaxed. Use absorb, triple time!" Rini crossed her fingers as she said this.

Kakuna's strength was zapped further, but it was far from out. It glared at Rini again, but was unable to do much more than that.

Well.... it did one thing.

Kakuna continued to harden it's shell.

About ten minutes, and eight absorb's later.

Pidgey had long since returned, and was watching the battle from a nearby tree. He seemed to find some pleasure in Rini's annoyance.

"Why can't you just faint already?!" Rini yelled, a vein twitching above one eye.

"Oddish oddish...." her pokemon sat down, and took a deep breath.

"Hold in there Oddish we have to almost have it now." she wasn't sure if she was assuring her pokemon or herself. "Use absorb again please."

Oddish pulled herself to her feet, and used a weak absorb.

Kakuna keeled over, and Rini's jaw dropped.

Pidgey fell out of the tree with loud squaks of laughter.

"That was so wrong..."
