    Chapter 1
    The Beginning of the Adventure

    19 Year old Kevin had never had an interest in any kind of Pokemon until his best friend got one for his 20th birthday. He was ready to go to Professor Oak's lab in the morning, but it was already 3:48 AM and he wasn't tired. He then fell asleep at 4:07 AM and then woke up at 6:12 AM. "Kevin, why did you only sleep for two hours?" His mother said. He responded "I was excited.". She replied "Just drink a lot of coffee...." "Will do."


    Kevin was awake on his 6th cup in ten minutes and realized that he should go to sleep. He couldn't doze off so he found random things to do that interested him as a child, like the paddle ball he'd gotten for his 6th birthday. He then noticed that it was 7:14 and it didn't start until 8:45. He then walked over to the lab. Looking at his watch it said 7:32. He brought a lawn chair and a magazine.
    At 8:04 he noticed a few 10 year olds coming up. He felt sad for their parents that had to come and watch them depart. He then saw a few other children at 8:22 and they were there talking about what one he wanted. One child said he wanted a Charmander, the other a Squirtle, the other a Bulbasaur. Kevin wanted a Mew. Realizing that there was only 2 more minutes left to wait, he accidentally stepped on a few of the kids' feet.
    Then he saw him....


    He saw Jimmy, the guy he went to grade school with. He was always getting in trouble for bringing his "awesome" Bulbasaur in. Kevin then remembered when they were in high school and his Bulbasaur started crying because of a match loss. What a baby. People followed Jimmy around with his stupid Bulbasaur. He taught the Bulbasaur to write and read. That was just sad.. "So this is your first Pokemon?" Jimmy taunted? Kevin replied, "Well, I'm crushing little kid's feet and am outside so, unless your Bulbasaur is mentally challenged why not him answer it?"
    Professor Oak arrived outside his lab and was staring down at the other children and then saw Kevin at his height and his shoes.
    Jimmy pulled out his Bulbasaur and Pidgey to stare and taunt while the other kids watched. How obnoxious...


    Professor Oak had seen Kevin and brought him up. He was so excited, he even thought Professor Oak thought he was special. Professor Oak then asked Kevin what one he wanted and Kevin said Mew. Professor Oak then laughed really hard and gave him the choices. Kevin then chose a Charmander and was given 5 Pokeballs and a Pokedex and walked out really excited. His mom was waiting out there with the 10 year olds and other family members. She gave him a small pack that looked like a sling knapsack. She told him what was in it and walked up to route 1 and sat down to eat a snack a Pidgey then swooped down from a tree and stole his knapsack. What a jerk! He forgot he had Pokeballs and a Charmander, so he did what anybody would do. He took a big stick and whacked the Pidgey down and took his knapsack. The Pidgey was okay, it just was growling and glaring at Kevin and his Charmander.

    This is a bit short.
     
    Chapter 2
    On the Road Again

    Kevin was walking up the path up to Viridian City and didn't really see much. Charmander had seemed really bored and not as excited as Kevin was, but he still liked Charmander.
    Charmadner was growling at Kevin's knapsack and was playing with the tassels on the side of the knapsack which made Kevin laugh because they were attached to his sweatshirt with a little key holder. Kevin got more nervous when Charmander saw a person's Squirtle at the pond near Viridian. Charmander didn't look too amused by it. Kevin then noticed that Charmander was getting famished which made Kevin worry because the bag of popcorn wasn't popped and he didn't have any microwave ovens. Charmander burnt a fire and they roasted over a fire and ate as friends. Charmander was getting angry at all of the water Pokemon at the pond. Charmander's flame was getting smaller being near the pond and all, but he took Charmander to the Pokecenter and got him healed. They headed to a forest named the "Viridian Forest" and they made their way through. They saw a lot of bug Pokemon which scared Kevin. Charmander saw a Metapod hanging on a tree and used it's Ember on it. Kevin was scared at first, but he realized he was trying to protect him. Charmander and him were getting closer and Kevin could feel it. Out of nowhere a Pikachu came. Kevin knew it was a boy because it didn't have a notch. Charmander didn't listen to what Kevin was telling him to and ran up, flipped over it's head and went behind the Pikachu. Kevin saw this coming. Pikachu used Thundershock, but Charmander dodged it and kicked Pikachu in the face. While Pikachu was down, he used ember, burning the mouse pokemon. Kevin was getting nervous. Kevin used his Pokedex to find the labeled pokemon and it read "The mouse Pokemon" Kevin got impatient and began watching the creatures brawl.


    Charmander had knocked down Pikachu once again to take it's tail and swing the Pikachu into a tree. Kevin thought that was enough and took Charmander down and started tickling it. As cheesy as it shounds, it worked. Pikachu was still dazed on the ground. Charmander learned a new move, Tickle to death. Charmander started tickling the Pikachu that was on the ground and cheered it up. Kevin threw the Pokeball and the Pikachu went right in. "FINALLY, I PIKACHU!" Kevin screamed.
    They saw a guy in shadows and three Pokemon and another human. It was Jimmy and Marty, Jimmy was the guy from grade school and Marty would kick Kevin on the ground in Middle school. Jimmy caught two new Pokemon, a Pidgey and a Caterpie. The Pidgey at a gaping cut that was bleeding a bit on it's head, that was the one he hit with a stick. Marty had a strange alligator Pokemon. Kevin pulled out his Pokedex and saw it was a Totodile. That reminded Kevin that he had moved to Johto in High School.
    Marty wanted to battle a tournament, so why not?

    Kevin and Jimmy started off. "If I lose, you'll pay!" Jimmy exclaimed. Kevin ignored it and sent out Charmander. "A Charmander, Bulbasaur will own it!" Jimmy said happily. Kevin saw him throw out Caterpie to start off. Charmander jumped out almost full blast at Jimmy when Caterpie used String Shot. Charmander was wrapped up, his tail burning the webs, he got out and used Ember on the insect. The Caterpie was fearless when taking the flames, the Caterpie ran across to Charmander, but Charmander evaded it. Charmander took Caterpie down and used ember, knocking it out like that. "Eh, Caterpie was never that good. Go Pidgey!" Kevin thought it was time for Pikachu, knowing Electric always beats birds. Although weak from the other battle, Pikachu was out and fighting. He jumped up, kicked the Pidgey in the beak and knocked it down to his level. After that Pikachu used Thunderbolt and impaled the bird into the ground.

    "Not Pidgey, he was hurt, it's not his fault. Go Bulbasaur!" His final Pokemon. Pikachu was ready and didn't want to leave, so he stayed out. Bulbsaur jumped over to Pikachu and stepped on his tail. Pikachu wasn't having any of that, he hopped onto Bulbsaur's back and bit his ear really hard. Bulbsaur was offended and used Razor Leaf and sent Pikachu flying. Pikachu was knocked out. Charmander was the only one left, so he was sent out. Charmander used ember and automatically burnt Bulbsaur and left him crying. Charmander knew his weak spot, he jumped up and hit him as hard as he could on the back and used Ember. Knocking Bulbasaur out. "Next time I won't lose!" Kevin knew it was over. Next up... Marty.
     
    Chapter 3
    Pay Back Time

    Kevin stepped up near Marty. Visions of when he would bring his mother's Pokemon in to train them and them being beat up flashed in his mind, especially her Eevee, he'll never forget the Eevee. Marty stepped up and threw a Pokeball "Go Spearow!" Kevin was mad. He threw Pikachu out forgetting that he'd been wounded. Pikahcu was ready and energetic even after the loss. Pikachu knew what to do even without Kevin's help. He jumped up on it's feathers and used Thundershock and took Spearow down in no time at all. "God, taken down by Kevin!" Kevin was excited. Out came Totodile and Pikachu was up for the challenge, but Kevin wanted him to rest. Charmander was sent out and thrown to the ground. Charmander kicked Totodile in the face to get him off, then used Ember.


    Surprisingly, Totodile was burnt and on the ground. Totodile spat water up into the air and jumped up into it, healing the burn. Kevin wasn't happy. Charmander wasn't about to give up. Charmander jumped behind Totodile and confused it. He then stepped on it's tail to make sure it didn't go anywhere and started kicking it with the other foot. Marty was excited and knew he was going to win even if Totodile was on the ground. "Totodile, RUN!" The alligator pokemon was running as fast as it could, but he was bolted down by Charmander's foot.

    Charmander then used ember on it again and made sure it wasn't going to get up or use it's water to cool it off. It was sitting there burnt and wasn't able to move. Charmander then kicked it really hard into a tree. "I lost? To him?!" Marty was about to hurt Kevin until Charmander bit Marty on the arm. Marty and Jimmy both started complaining and trying to cheer up their upset pokemon that were crying after battle, "*Mr. Krab voice* what a baby." Kevin moved up a little bit more and saw a bunch of Beedrill.

    Not only was Kevin scared, he was also excited. He's never seen so many pokemon, especially bug pokemon in one place in his entire life! The shock in his Charmander's eyes was amazing. Charmander was so excited he jumped up and used ember on them. They were in one big bunch and they all got burnt. The Beedrill couldn't get up. Kevin thought about capturing one, but he disliked bugs. They were all burnt and had not expression on their faces. They saw a light at the end of a path. Charmander and Kevin ran up as fast as they could and when they got there they saw that it said "Welcome to Pewter City!" Kevin was so excited. "Next stop Pewter City. And it's Gym!"

    Really Short.
     
    Chapter 4
    Mysteries and Miseries

    Kevin approached a shady tree and sat down. The tree was huge, a birch to be specific. It made him think of his home. He passed by and went to the Pokemon Center where he healed Pikachu and Charmander. He walked out and felt a nice warm breeze, then a cold one, and a hot one. It was really strange, but nothing that couldn't be evaded. He walked back into the Pokemon Center and noticed a lot more pokemon. Pokemon he didn't notice. There was an orange one with a long thin tail, a round and fat one that was pink, oval and had an egg. Weird.. He walked back out to the feel of the strange winds. He then saw a Pokemon that didn't look like one. It looked sort of like one, but with a machine around it.


    Kevin let it go and walked over to the gym. He thought he was rushing it, but he was still going to try. He walked into the place and a tall teenager was there. Kevin walked up and got an introduction from Brock, the Gym Leader. "Are you ready to take on the challenge?" Brock asked? "Oh, you bet I am." He sent out a Geodude while Kevin sent out Charmander. Knowing this wasn't a good idea he used ember and wished for the best.
    Geodude was burnt and used Rock throw on Charmander. There was no way Charmander could evade this. Charmander dodged three rocks, but the last one smashed his face into the ground. Charmander, bleeding, was too weak to fight. Kevin sent out Pikachu and he knew what to do. Pikachu was excited and ready to go. They used rock throw and Pikachu evaded them all. Pikachu started running fast. He smacked Geodude into the ground and kicked it. He then used a new move. "Quick Attack!" Kevin said. Pikachu pounced from the ground and hit Geodude as hard as he could and knocked him out. Kevin was angelic. Pikachu was tired, but ready.

    Brock was neutral, not happy, not mad. "Go, Onix!" He shouted. A huge Pokemon arose and Kevin pulled out his Pokedex. "Onix, the Rock Snake Pokemon." All the information Kevin needed was right there. Pikachu was scared, but ready. Pikachu jumped on top of the long rock snake pokemon's long, rugged tail to the head where he used a strong thunderbolt. It had absolutely no effect on the Pokemon. Kevin was shocked and dumbstruck. Onix smashed into the ground, harming himself, but more importantly Pikachu!
    Onix was showing no mercy as he smashed and slid against the dirt ground and eventually got even harder. Pikachu was struggling, which made it harder for him to get out of the Pokemon's grip! Pikachu used thunderwave out of frustration and it actually paralyzed the Onix! Now was his chance! That was the chance where he could jump up as the Pokemon's grip loosened and use quick attack!

    Things got better and worse as the Pokemon fell to the ground. Pikachu jumped and used Quick attack on Onix, barely, but still hurting it. He continued the cycle until the Paralysis wore off. Onix smashed the ground where Pikachu once was, but he wasn't there. He was running once again, up the tail of the Pokemon. Onix took his tail and smashed it against the ground and it crushed Pikachu. That was when they left the Gym and went to the Pokemon Center again. More unfamiliar Pokemon were there as usual, but not as many as before. Kevin then went over to a bush and started to train his Charmander.

    Charmander had defeated at least 14 Pidgeys and he then learned Metal Claw. They went back to the gym and Kevin sent Pikachu out first. Geodude was ready this time for a quick attack. Luckily, Pikachu also learned agility and he used that against the Geodude. He first used Agility and the used Quick attack. He came back and did Quick attack again, but Geodude grabbed Pikachu by the tail and swung him around and threw him to the ground. Pikachu got back up and used Quick attack once more, knocking Geodude to the ground. He again repeated Quick attack two more times and finished Geodude right off.

    Next up was Onic and Pikachu had his own plan. He ran up the tail again and got to the head and jumped off instead of staying. Onix impaled himself into the ground, but Pikachu wasn't injured. Pikachu repeated, but this time he was too slow and was crushed by Onix's weight. Charmander was up and he was ready. Onix charged and Charmander evaded it. Onix ran towards him, but Charmander used Metal Claw on him and knocked him down once. The ground shook and Charmander was prepared to repeat that. Onix was getting back up when Charmander jumped up and used Metal Claw on him. Onix was down in two blows to the face by Metal Claw.

    Brock called Onix back and approached Kevin. "Kevin, you and your Pokemon fought bravely. I am proud to give you the Boulder Badge!" Kevin couldn't believe he'd gotten a badge. He could only mutter out a small and very light "Thank you." He walked off into Route 3 on his way to Cerulean City and the Cerulean City gym where he will get his second badge.
     
    Chapter 5
    "Lost?!"

    Kevin began walking up to the next exit while staring directly into the Boulder Badge. It was such a beautiful sight and feeling. Although one badge, that's nothing compared to what he would get. He was fortunate to have a brother who had already been a trainer. His brother, Dan, was now 27 and had a bunch of younger Pokemon that Kevin would play with after he got over his fear. He would play with Squirtle, Charmander, Pikachu and Growlith. They were fun to play with at the time, but now he has his own. He then saw Jimmy, Marty wasn't there anymore. As much as Kevin wanted to go up to him and smack him in the face with the badge case, he couldn't. Kevin was tired and didn't feel like battling. He hid in a bush until he left. He then got up. He saw a bunch of trainers and they asked him to battle. He refused until a small boy around the age of 9 walked up. He saw his pokeballs and grabbed them from Kevin's belt. Kevin chased him to a cave. The cave was dark and he couldn't see much. He saw a light and he ran over. It was Charmander! The boy didn't see Kevin, so Kevin ran up and grabbed the boy by the torso and threw him to the ground.

    The boy reacted strongly and called out a big Pokemon that growled. Kevin pulled out his Pokedex and saw that it was a Machoke. It was so big and Kevin was scared out of his mind. Kevin tried running, but the beast tracked him down. Machoke picked Kevin up, threw him to the ground, and started punching him. Kevin was bleeding from the face and his and was getting cut badly from trying to fight the beast off. Pikachu's Pokeball rolled out and he popped out faster than Michael Jackson's Speed Demon! Pikachu jumped onto the boy's shoulder and punched the boy with his left hand. The boy fell and that distracted Machoke. Charmander came and knocked down Machoke while Kevin took the boy and threw him down at Machoke and ran. They ran until they're legs gave out and they found a bunch of Team Rocket Members. He had heard of Team Rocket from his older brother who stole his Eevee. He continued. He later met up with a girl around the age of 5 who begged him to battle. She said that she had an Eevee and Growlithe. Kevin was familiar with both of them! She said "Let's make this interesting! If I win, I get your Pokemon, but if you win you keep them or get the choice of one of mine." Kevin nodded "If you say so." He said. They began and she called on her Eevee. Kevin called on Charmander and it was too easy, or so he thought. The Eevee tackled Charmander to the ground and bit him. Eevee was getting cocky, but Charmander used Ember and burnt Eevee.

    Eevee was stunned and wouldn't move. Of all of the times, the Eevee was stunned by the burn and wouldn't move at all. It eventually fainted from the long burn and was called back. The girl called out on the Growlithe, but it was knocked out. "Oh my Gosh, I just remembered I just got back from Pewter City Gym. I have to go, Bye!" She was gone in a flash. "That was weird." He thought. They walked and ran, but they couldn't find any exit. The later saw the exit. Charmander was excited. They ran over, but the exit was then blocked by a tall, husky, man. "Going somewhere?" the man asked. "I was kind of going to leave, but you are in the way. Excuse me." Kevin said. "I'll battle you. I have one Pokemon, but it is strong." The man claimed. Kevin excepted. The man pulled a Pokeball from a pack on his side and threw it. The Pokemon that waddled out was a Jigglypuff. Kevin's sister had one. Charmander wasn't even instructed on what to do, it just lunged at the pink ball. Unaware, the Jigglypuff admired Charmander. It seemed like it had a crush.

    Charmander kicked it and the battle was obviously over. The man seemed fine and walked up when Kevin looked down at Charmander, and then it happened. Kevin looked over and the man had punched him in the face, knocking Kevin out. He then woke up with his money gone, Pokemon gone, but Pokeballs around him. He called them out, luckily they were there, but he was now poor and couldn't find his Pokedex. He walked a few feet over and saw the man in a corner looking at a bunch of Pokemon on the Pokedex. Kevin tapped his shoulder and gave him a nice punch in the face too. Taking back the money he had taken while pulling the man's pants off. He then lost his dignity too! He walked off over out of the cave and saw a fossil. It was uncommon and an amazing discovery. He threw it into the knapsack and walked off. He then walked over a few miles and saw he was at Cerulean City.

    He then walked over to a Pokemon Center and healed his Pokemon. He walked outside and looked up. On top of a tree was that same Pokemon he saw at Pewter City with the strange machine around it. He pulled out his Pokedex, but there was not specific entry for it. He looked back and nothing was there. There was a really fast, burning wind, but no Pokemon. He then walked over to another tree and screamed "Look there it is!!!" People looked up and nothing was there. Feeling foolish and very humiliated, he put his jacket up and zipped it with his sunglasses on so nobody would recognize him. He saw it again, but remained silent, saving the humiliation. He saw a Squirtle and he was so jealous. He liked Squirtles and wanted to bond with one. His brother's Squirtle was very kind and easy to bond with. He walked over to the gym, but just looked inside. It was filled with swimmers. What? Kevin was confused. He knew he was going to have to train if he was going to defeat Misty. Some said she was tougher than Brock. When they said that, Kevin shook think of all of the training he went through with Brock. He looked back inside and said "I will defeat you." Silently to himself.
     
    WARNING: Squirtles don't really live in the wild (as far as I know)

    Chapter 6
    "Water you waiting for?"

    Kevin approached another tree. Glasses and all after the last "episode" with people staring. He saw it again. He was more paranoid than usual. He walked over to the gym. He was ready. He walked over and was caught by a swimmer. "Young Man, wanna battle?" the swimmer asked. "Ready when you are." Kevin approached the old man. He called on Pikachu. His strategy was to use Quick Attack and to finish off, a Thunderbolt. The old man called on a Squirtle. Kevin's stomach churned. He really wanted one. Pikachu ran up and used Quick Attack. The turtle fell and couldn't get up. Life Alert? Pikachu pounced onto the Squirtle and it spun. Just what he wanted. Pikachu popped out of the water and used Thunder Bolt. There was a recoil because of Pikachu being wet, but it was fine. The Squirtle was down. Kevin received prize money. 2000, just what he needed. He walked over to Misty. Owning time.

    He approached Misty and she looked upset. She claimed she was fine, but whatever. They began the battle she called on Staryu. His brother's favorite water pokemon. Pikachu knew what to do. His ordinary method. Quick Attack with a Thunder Bolt. This time, it was different. He used Thunder Shock and then Thunder Bolt. It worked, Staryu was weak. Pikachu then kicked Staryu into the water to finish it off. Starmie was up. Kevin's brother loved it just as much. It came out. Pikachu needed a rest. Charmander came out. He knew he wasn't going to win and that it was a major risk, but he was willing to take it. Charmander popped out and was ordered ASAP. He ran up as Kevin said and used ember. Luckily it was burnt. It used recover. Charmander was scared. Charmander used quick instincts and kicked it. It was on the ground.

    Quickly, Charmander popped up and kicked Starmie into the water to finish it. Starmie popped back up. Charmander quickly popped out so that it wouldn't have any time to heal. It worked he kicked it back onto the runway so they could battle without Charmander jumping. Starmie wasn't being too quick. Charmander ran up, kicked it and burnt it. Charmander let it be and it fainted. Kevin almost had a stroke. He was so excited. He beat the second Gym Leader! He then approached Misty. "You fought great. You deserve this!" She handed him the Cascade Badge. He thanked her and ran out in joy. He then saw the Pokemon again. It's face covered by the shield. It was so mysterious. It just nodded it's head and looked at him. Kevin wanted to throw a Pokeball at it and catch it. He then ran over to a water filled part of Cerulean City. He saw something bobbing. A body?

    He threw a rock at it and it popped back up. There it was. A wild Squirtle! He used Pikachu. Pikachu jumped into the water as it was still bobbing. Pikachu used it as a raft. He then jumped up and used Thunder Bolt. It was knocked out. SCORE! He threw a Pokeball and it popped back into his hand with the small turtle in his hand. He felt a vibration in his hand and it was great. They ran back into the Poke Center and healed it. He then saw the strange, machine covered, Pokemon on the tree nodding. Kevin looked up and thought that someday he will capture it and use it to dominate the Pokemon League. It was a tough goal, but he excepted it. He ran over to the tree and climbed it. He got to the top and he greeted the Pokemon. Surprisingly it was still there. The Pokemon replied. Not with a grunt or a squeal, but with a "Hello, Kevin..." Kevin backed up and almost fell. He was holding onto a branch next to the Pokemon.

    The Pokemon stared. Honestly, Kevin couldn't tell because of the screen, but he knew. "Why do you keep following me?" Kevin asked. "We have no purpose... We all have the same destiny." The Pokemon explained. "We are here for a reason. You don't see it though." Kevin told him. "Foolish human, you are just as worthless as everybody else." The Pokemon exclaimed. "What?!" The Pokemon had thrown Kevin off of the tree branch and people pointed and stared in shock. Kevin hung there in midair. The highest tree wasn't as high as Kevin was in the air. Kevin was scared of heights and he was about to try and jump out of the air himself. The Pokemon screamed "You will pay for what you've done!" Nobody else heard him. The Pokemon dropped Kevin from the air. There was nothing stopping him.

    He thought that maybe a Fearow would fly down and save him. Nice try, but no. He fell and was going at least 800 miles per hour he was that light. He fell and smashed the ground. He looked and saw blood everywhere. More was coming. There was more puddles than Hurricane Katrina left. He sat there, bleeding. He could breathe. He then just let go and fell asleep. He woke up to the sight of cameras being flashed and people surrounding him. He knew he would die. He felt the blood rush down his leg. He wish he had a mirror. There was so much blood. He started fading. He then looked and he saw the tree. There he was. The thing that had tried to kill him. He was mad. Very mad. Kevin started making obscene hand gestures out of anger and eventually passed out. He felt the blood in his sleep. He started praying as much as he could. He then heard a deep voice. "Kevin...." He heard it.. There it was..
     
    Chapter 7
    "Help, Helicopters and Hate."

    Kevin was laying there, bleeding more. After he heard someone, probably God, say Kevin. It scared him half way to death. He was dying. No way around it, he wasn't going to survive. He looked back "Ah, this hurts!" He looked back. Nobody was there. "Where are the medics?!" He thought. Where were they, he couldn't believe how terrible it was. Bleeding, so much. "Oh my God, who's that?" Misty ran out with swimmers and other trainers. "Who cares, what are they going to do? Nobody's going to do anything." He thought. He dozed off. He then woke up and there it was. A helicopter, Finally! It wasn't over him, it was flying over. Unfortunately, it passed by and he had no chance of surviving. It then came back and went over him. Finally! The men came down and put him on a stretcher and flew him out. He was still conscience, thank God. There the Pokemon was, following right behind the helicopter. Kevin was so mad. He was about to get off of the stretcher and throw it off of the chopper. The Pokemon followed behind. "Get...... It...... *Large inhalation*" "Get what?" The pilot asked. Kevin wasn't concerned. "What's the worse that would happen?" He asked himself.

    He then thought. He grabbed a piece of paper and pen from his blood filled pocket. The paper was covered in blood and he wrote "Where are my Pokemon?" He gave it to one of the doctors that were checking his blood pressure. "They were on your belt last. He felt his blood covered belt. He couldn't tell, there was too much blood. He looked out the window on the helicopter. The doctor told him "Don't go to sleep." he started to doze off no matter what they said. He fell asleep and they were hurrying screaming "He's losing more blood! We're nowhere close to the hospital!" He was worried, there was more blood rushing through his head. He heard the pilot "This is the medical chopper. We have a patient in critical condition. The only way he'll live is from God's miracle!" Kevin put his head down. He fell asleep once more. He then woke up at the hospital. They were doing serious treatments. They didn't even stitch him. He fell asleep again... He woke up and it was 2:01 PM, but when he woke up it was 2:29 PM.

    The doctor came in. "Well Mr. Branch, do you think you've learned your lesson?" Kevin wrote down "What lesson?" The doctor replied "You jumped off of a tree and you slept for two days. We'd thought you were gone, but your heart was still beating." Kevin was confused. He wrote "Two days? I never jumped, it pushed me." The doctor looked amused. "Just don't climb trees. You'll be out in two days. If you need anything, just call. There is a power chair over there if you want to go and take it for a spin to get something." Kevin had a look of question. What was he, 12? He just laid there. He noticed a small table. His three Pokeballs were lying there. He pressed the button and a young nurse, around 21 years old came. He asked her to call them out for him. He thanked her and she left. Pikachu was interested. He took the Power Chair and rode it down steps. There's a lawsuit. Squirtle walked over to a tiled floor and used water gun so he could slide. Charmander was amazed by the light switch. His Pokemon weren't exactly the most greatest, but they were good.

    He fell asleep. He woke up to the nurse there playing with his Pokemon. She was petting Squirtle, stroking Charmander's head and gave Pikachu a strange magazine that he was reading upside down. Kevin could now speak and said hello to her. She smiled and left. He wanted her company, but it was fine. He walked over to the window. There the Pokemon was. He was mad. Kevin was tired and went to bed. Tomorrow if he was ready, time to go. He felt a lot better. The next day, the nurse had walked over to him and said "You had quite a fall. That was probably the worst 15 minutes of your life. Is your back okay?" Kevin was shocked "15 minutes?... My back?.." He thought it was his head and 3 hours. "Thank you so much for staying, I adored your Pokemon and your company." the nurse said. She gave him a big hug, his clothes, which were cleaned for some reason, and his pokeballs with his Pokemon in them that smelled good. That's the power of Pine sol baby. He left and couldn't recognize where he was. He ran into the hospital and asked where he was and the reply was "You are in the Canalave City Hospital." "Sinnoh?" Kevin asked. "That's it." The counter woman replied. He asked if he could have a ride home in the helicopter. "Only up to Cerulean City." "Perfect.." He thought.

    He hopped onto the helicopter and they started it. He was ready. They took off. They were flying over all of Sinnoh. He looked down and saw a few strange Pokemon. They continued flying. They had flew over all of them but Kanto. Once they had they flew over Cerulean City, they lowered it so that he could hop off. It was cloudy. He then heard a shock of thunder strike the helicopter. It set the helicopter on fire and Kevin hadn't even left it. He was trapped under a propeller and was bleeding a bit. Yay, more blood and hospital visits. His Squirtle's Pokeball rolled over and it popped out. He used water gun to put out the fire and lifted up the debris so that they could get out. Right after that, the rain disappeared and it was beautiful and sunny out. Kevin and the passengers looked up and saw the beautiful sunshine and a rainbow. A bird Pokemon flew by. It was probably a Fearow, it looked glorious in that light. Kevin looked up, there was the speaking Pokemon. Kevin was going to catch it eventually.
     
    Chapter 8
    Death, Destruction and Dugtrio.

    Kevin and the other passengers of the helicopter, including Squirtle, had to get back to hospital. The Pokemon followed the helicopter, throwing ball of dark energy at it. The passenger pulled out an assault rifle. Why a surgeon had a machine gun in the helicopter, Kevin had no idea. He was just happy they had it. They gave the machine gun to Kevin since he had experience. He had experience from a shooting range for Paintball guns. It wasn't a real gun, but what is the difference? Kevin tried shooting at the machine on the back. He shot the faceplate of the machine and sparks flew. He aimed at the back part to finish it off. He then just three bullets at the back and the Pokemon went down. Kevin was ecstatic about what he just done. He looked down. He saw some familiar Pokemon his brother had. They were in Johto. Out of nowhere, they saw a black energy ball flying towards the helicopter once again.

    The ball of black energy was going slow. Which gave them enough time to speed up. The ball of black energy also sped up along with the helicopter which was very unfortunate. The ball finally got up to the side of the helicopter and was just hovering along. Squirtle threw himself at the ball, but Kevin returned him with the Pokeball. A bigger, camouflage helicopter sped up. With a solider standing there. Kevin thought it was a big extreme, but whatever would get them out of there alive. "Get out before me guys, I can't have anybody dead!" Kevin exclaimed. They ran onto the other helicopter, but they had to jump. The ball of energy was gone, but the Pokemon came back up. The helicopter Kevin was on had been set onto autopilot so that he could still be on it. The Pokemon grabbed the metal blades on the bottom of the helicopter and pulled it down and shook it. Kevin had to focus to get onto the other helicopter just right, or at all. He took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and jumped. He made it right onto the metal blades on the bottom of the helicopter. A pokemon flew by that he couldn't name. He wanted to grab onto it, but couldn't.

    Kevin could here the solider screaming "We got the boy, now get us the **** out of here!" The helicopter was flying at full speed. Kevin was feeling sick to the stomach and his hands were beginning to sweat a lot more out of fear. He then saw the Pokemon with a recovered machine over it. It was going faster than the helicopter and it smashed into it. Kevin was luckily still holding on. His hands were bleeding. He thought about letting go and seeing if he'd survive. He didn't let go and he wouldn't. The blood was rushing down his arm. The pokemon took a smash to the helicopter once more and Kevin had to let go or attempt to get back to the top of the helicopter on the inside. Kevin attempted to and he slipped. He began falling off of the helicopter, but the solider grabbed his arm. His gloves were slipper from the oil that was on the machine on the Pokemon that he had grabbed. The Pokemon took one more smash to the side of the helicopter and Kevin lost his footing on the bar and fell. He began falling down into Johto. He saw Mt. Silver. His brother told him about climbing it. He then closed his eyes and he fell and his rocks. All was silent until a Totodile came up and nudged him and went back. He was dead.

    He then saw his aunt who had died before he was born. He saw Jesus and the Saints. He was happy. He knew he'd just fell hundreds of feet from a helicopter and hit rocks and stones, but he was happy for some reason. He began talking to Jesus about his life and what he'd done. "Jesus, I'm sorry I've committed so many sins. I wish that I could see my mom and my family again." Jesus replied "Kevin, you've done nothing wrong. And you will see your family. Good bye for now, Kevin Branch." Kevin woke up to the site of the solider picking Kevin up and screaming "****, the boys down. No pulse!" Kevin woke up and the solider said to Kevin "About time. We tranquilized the Pokemon that attacked you. We got him being tested. It turns out he was a clone." Kevin was shocked, but more tired than anything. Kevin then was sent up into the helicopter. They surprisingly healed him in the sky. He had minor injuries. "God wanted to talk to me. That's why I died." Kevin thought to himself.

    There was a TV on the helicopter. Kevin was standing up and watching the news. "How in the name of God do you get a reception from up here?" Kevin asked. The pilot answered "We know people." The news reporter was now scared. "We have breaking news. There is now a rogue pokemon that escaped a testing facility in Kanto and is now flying over Hoenn." Kevin looked and laughed. "It'd be funny if it was the same one that attacked us." He said. All of the sudden they looked down at Mauville City and saw the same Pokemon destroying buildings, Pokemon Centers, and the gym. Kevin looked down and saw a lot of Pokemon coming out of the ground. "Oh my God, are those Dugtrio?" The pilot responded "Looks like it." They're all trying trying to signal a pokemon to take it down. Sad, isn't it?" Kevin looked down. "Yeah, it is." A paramedic looked out the window. "Look out for a flying Pokemon that can take it down." Kevin started looking around. "All fine it looks. Just clouds." He said. Out of nowhere three huge bird Pokemon swoop by and almost knock over the helicopter. "Holy ****, what was that?!" The solider screamed.
     
    Home, Holidays and Healing
    Chapter 9

    Kevin was still on the helicopter looking down at the havoc. He looked up after the solider screamed "What are you screaming about?" Kevin asked "Look down." The solider replied. Kevin couldn't believe what he saw. He saw Articuno, Moltres, and Zapdos. "That's the bird trio. My brother came in contact with a Moltres once." Kevin said proudly. "Yeah right, it was probably a wild Fearow." The solider said obnoxiously. "No, it was. He had a picture of it using Flamethrower on his Blastoise!" Kevin exclaimed. "Well until I see that picture of that Moltres myself, I won't believe you." the solider said rudely while looking down at the destruction being caused between the four pokemon. Kevin let it roll down his back like he did with Marty and Jimmy all of those years in school..

    The solider looked back at Kevin "How old was your brother when he saw this so called Moltres?" Kevin replied "He was probably around 14 or 15. He was amazed." The solider looked back down at all of the buildings on fire and blood of the dead citizens. "Yeah right. Like a teenager could actually get thirty feet close to the legendary Moltres and live. We're a hundred feet in the air and I can still feel the heat burn my face." Kevin just stopped listening. "If you want to see it that bad fly us back to Pallet Town, I'm going to show you guys the picture!" He screamed so loud that the Pokemon from before heard him. He used a strong psychic move that sent them in a circle and sent them flying.

    They found themselves in Pallet town, two miles from his house. They walked over to his house and knocked on the door and his mother answered it. "Kevin, Happy Thanksgiving! Come in!" Kevin walked over to his mother "Is Dan here?" his mother looked over "Dan.... Oh, yeah he's here." He's out back with Growlithe. He missed you." Kevin ran out to see Dan. He was sitting on a lawn chair facing the screen door. Kevin walked over and flipped the yard chair over onto the top of his brother's head. "KYLE! Oh, it's Kevin, hey. How's um.. Training? Kevin replied "It's great, in fact I fell off of a helicopter yesterday." Dan looked over. "That's nice." His mom stepped outside with her Umbreon and Eevee. "Time for dinner." Kevin looked at the delicious turkey and saw Charmander, Pikachu and Squirtle looking at the turkey themselves. The family said grace and began eating. Pikachu was eating the mashed potatoes like it was his job. His dad looked over at Pikachu "Quite an appetite, eh Pikachu?" Pikachu looked back and nodded his head, for his mouth was full.

    His mom looked over and asked why he was here and there was a destroyed helicopter. Kevin told her what happened that he was here for the picture and that he forgot about Thanksgiving for the most part. "Oh my God, we have to call a doctor!" his mom screamed. "It's fine, I've gotten better and I'm worried about the Pokemon." Squirtle saw the turkey and was worried it was a fellow Pokemon. He looked over at Dan and started talking "Squirt, Squirtle Squirt squirt." Dan looked back. "It's an animal, not a Pokemon. I have no idea what you're saying so I will continue eating without your disruption. Is that okay with you?" Squirtle looked back in annoyance and continued eating the turkey. Kevin's mom looked back at him "Here is a copy of the Moltres. Show it to your friends." Kevin looked back. "They're not my friends. They're weird people that saved my life." His mom looked back. "That's nice."

    Kevin's brother Kyle stood up and didn't even finish his meal yet. "Hey Kevin, now that you're a Pokemon Trainer, do you want to have a battle with Dan and I?" Dan stood up and said "Kevin, you don't have to if you don't want to, mainly because I don't want to, but if you want to have a battle with Kyle and I, knock yourself out." Kevin looked down and then at his Pokemon. "Hm.... Okay.. Sure, why not?" He looked at his mom who was smiling at him. He then looked over at his dad who was staring at his Pokemon who were eating like they've never had a bite of food in their life. His dad then busted into hysterics and looked at Kevin. "Dear God! Kevin, you actually think your Pokemon have a chance?" Kevin looked over. "No, but I bet they'll do their best." His dad looked back over. "Kevin, that's all that matters." Kevin looked out the window at Danny's Blastoise and Mr.Mime. Kevin thought to himself. "Dear God, what have I gotten myself into?!"


    No Violence and a lot of Speech.
     
    Chapter 10
    "Can you Feel It?"

    Kevin approached the solider and paramedics. "I told you guys that my brother faced Moltres." Kevin said to the heroes. "How are we supposed to know he didn't make that?" the Solider taunted. "He didn't!" Kevin yelled. The solider looked happy. "Hey, I just called in my recruit they should be in soon. You know, in the 'big helicopter'." The solider was getting on Kevin's nerves. Kevin thought "Hey, maybe when we get onto the helicopter, I could push this moron off, but no... There are others. They could take me down faster than I could jump off of the helicopter." The helicopter arrived and they began climbing into it. When they finally got in the solider started bragging about how he saved Kevin. "I pulled out a Bazooka and finished the ****** off." Kevin walked over and approached them. "You did nothing. If anyone did anything, I at least used and Assault Rifle on the Pokemon." The Heroes laughed hard.

    "Kid you did absolutely nothing at all. You jumped off and nearly killed yourself." The heroes laughed. Kevin ignored them. The newscaster was on the television "We now have the Pokemon over the Kanto region around Vermilion City." The heroes drove faster and got there. The Pokemon was about to use the energy move once again. "Hey, do you think you could jump onto the Pokemon's back?" They asked Kevin. Kevin thought "I should, but I could miss and fall." Kevin walked back up to them. "Why don't you guys do it if you want to destroy the thing so bad?" The solider had discussed it with the other war heroes. "We are too heavy. You're light. We'll give you a parachute and you can use it if you begin to slip or fall." Kevin looked "Fine." They handed him a parachute "Now only use it if you know you're going to miss. Not get scared." Kevin was scared, but ready to do whatever he had to do to get this thing out of his life."

    Kevin was about to jump "Good luck, boy." the solider said. "Can you feel it? You're sacrificing my life so you can stay up here and spectate. Have fun." Kevin dove off and was scared because he was farther ahead than the Pokemon. He finally reached up and caught a piece of the machine. "Gotcha." Kevin put all of his weight down and the Pokemon felt it. "What?!" The Pokemon flung it's leg back and forth. The Pokemon made Kevin lose his grip and he fell. He grabbed hold on the Pokemon's leg. The flew at high speed, but Kevin was still holding on. "Let's make this easy. Knock it off." Kevin said. The Pokemon replied " Kevin Branch, you have been an annoyance to me and if I don't kill you, I will find you and destroy you." Kevin was scared, but he reached up and grabbed another part of the machine and he grabbed the Pokemon's face and began punching the Pokemon and pulling angrily. The Pokemon whispered "I'll kill both of us." The Pokemon flew up higher. Kevin knew what was going to happen.

    The Pokemon then flew down at high speed. It scared Kevin until he was worried about this, but he knew what to do. "It's your choice. You can kill both of us, or you can die yourself." The Pokemon didn't respond. Kevin punched and beat the Pokemon until his fists hurt. Even then he never gave up. He punched as hard as he could until he thought the Pokemon was dead for sure. They flew down until he could see a lake. The Pokemon curved either out of being dead and not having control or because that's where it was aiming, but it was going directly towards the lake. "My favorite spot." Kevin thought. The Pokemon got faster. He was still far though. He wasn't able to stop even if he wanted to. Kevin then ejected the parachute and he flew up. "Suck on that, moron." The Pokemon flew down into the lake and there was an explosion. Kevin then knew there wasn't a way that it could have survived such an explosion especially because there was sparks everywhere.

    Kevin then thought that it was a trick, but the Pokemon never came out of the water. The Helicopter flew back down. "Nice job, kid. I wish I saw it more clearly. How much blood was there?" Kevin looked at him "There was none. Just sparks." The solider looked back at him "That's not that fun." Kevin then looked down. No body or any sign that he was still there. Mysterious, but there was a good feeling he was dead. They grabbed Kevin by the arm. "Just hold on. My back is killing me. So is my chest." The Solider dropped onto the ground and let go of Kevin. They were both falling. Kevin luckily was still using the parachute and was trying to get a hold on the solider. The paramedics looked down and screamed to him. "Kevin grab him!" Kevin finally reached him and grabbed him. They were falling slowly, which gave Kevin the chance to find a spot to land. Kevin tried to find a heartbeat in the solider, but there was nothing. Kevin then reached the ground and fell to the ground and cried until he found himself talking to himself.

    Stupid speech lines..
     
    Chapter 11
    Music, Mishaps, and Maniacs

    Kevin sat and cried as the solider slowly left Earth. "Help!" Kevin screamed to the helicopter. The doctors replied by throwing things back down "What are you doing?!" Kevin called to the doctors. "You may not know this, but we went to school with this man. He tortured us for years. We will not help him if hes dying." The doctors responded. The head surgeon pushed the other doctors down to the ground. The propellers sucked the doctors in, giving them an unfortunate death. The head surgeon then sent a Fearow down to Kevin to finish them both off. Kevin then sent out Pikachu. "Pikachu use Thunderbolt on the Fearow!" The Fearow had already gained to much speed to stop, giving Pikachu the perfect time to shock the large bird. The bird was then paralyzed. Pikachu ran up and kicked it straight across the face, knocking the pokemon out. Pikachu then began dancing in a familiar way, doing a very familiar dance move by a very famous person. Kevin then knew he was finished when the surgeon sent out a fierce Bird Pokemon with flames scorching out. Could it be?!

    It was! It was Moltres. "I caught this when that bastard had a heart attack right then and there." Kevin looked up at the bird. It flew down and clenched Kevin in it's tight grip and shook ferociously. Kevin was able to reach down to grab Squirtle's Pokeball. "Squirtle! Help!" Squirtle was then on one of the wings of the beast. "Squirtle, use water gun!" The Pokemon squirt out a long stream of water, flowing down the wings. Kevin, high in the air, was able to see everything. The bird had finally had enough when it dropped Kevin down to a long dirt road. Kevin had saw it all happen again. The blood, the pain, the Tylonel. Kevin just prayed for the best, when suddenly it happened... The Pokemon that had attempted to kill him several times, had just saved his life. "Wha... What are you doing?!" The Pokemon replied in a low, but sturdy voice "Saving your life." Kevin looked at him for a while and felt comfortable. Moltres was then falling, with Squirtle on it's back.

    Kevin then called Squirtle back and remained in the arms of the purple Pokemon's grip. The machines still over it's face. The faceplate then came up, revealing a face resembling Mew. He closed the faceplate and said "On three, I'll drop you. One.... Two.... Three!" The Pokemon dropped Kevin, but he was in a blue bubble, floating to the ground safely. Kevin ran off and was now in Vermilion City. He ran into the gym and met with a tan, sturdy looking dude, that could probably be named Surfer Guy. Kevin approaches him with his black fedora and black and white clothing while the man is wearing military clothing, reminding him of the solider. The solider was supposedly named Brian Regholian. "Little man!" The tan guy said. The man was around 5 foot 9. Kevin, was 6 foot 4. "Hey, can I battle you?" The man responded with a bad attitude. "Do you have a Pikachu? Pikachus should just be evolved when you get it, that way you don't have to stay with the squeaky voiced rat."

    Kevin was dumbstruck. "I do." The man then introduced himself "My name is Lt.Surge. I train Electric Pokemon." Kevin then remembered something that Brian told him... Just off of the story... "I trained Lt.Surge. You might meet him someday." Kevin just had to ask. "Did you ever work with a General Brian Regholian?" The gym leader replied. "Yeah, haven't seen him in a while... I really miss him." Kevin didn't want to hurt him, but it was for the best... "I'm sorry, but he died earlier today." Lt.Surge looked over without a sad face on. "He had it coming." Kevin didn't want to dig back up sad memories so he just asked if he could battle now. "Should we start now?" Kevin asked politely Lt.Surge replied "Ready whenever you are." Lt.Surge sent out a Voltorb. Kevin's mother had one as a child. Kevin knew it was a risk, but he sent out Charmander. "Charmander, use Ember!" Charmander ran up and burnt the Pokeball shaped Pokemon.

    "Voltorb, use your Charge!" The Pokemon discharged a bit of electricity to Charmander. "Charmander, kick it!" The Charmander ran up and kicked it, making it roll over to Lt.Surge's feet. The Voltorb was unable to fight, outraging Lt.Surge. "Go Pokeball!" Kevin then screamed "Aah! Oh, its just a Raichu." "Raichu, use your thunderbolt!" Kevin was then thrown against a window, shattering it and giving him cuts. The thunderbolt was so powerful it did that to him. Charmander was nowhere to be seen. Charmander was then found under the ground, paralyzed. Charmander was beginning to move again after some powerful hits to the head. "Charmander! Use ember!" Charmander then blew out fire, but instead of ember, it was stronger. It angered the Raichu. It lunged on top of Charmander and punched it to the ground. Raichu had no marks on him at all. Kevin then thought. "Charmander... Do what you were made to do." Charmander knew what he was talking about and began tickling Raichu. Raichu was on the ground when Charmander started punching him. All was fine until Raichu was ordered to do one more Thunderbolt. Charmander was then knocked out.

    Pikachu was then sent out. "Pikachu, use thunderbolt!" Pikachu then sent out long streaks of lightning from his cheeks. "Raichu, use thunderbolt also!" The two shocks met each other and caused a minor explosion. Raichu was late in his bolts so it was more on his side. Raichu was then on the ground knocked out. Kevin then ran up to receive his third badge. "Thank you very much Surge." Kevin then ran out and his Charmander was healed and he was in Cerulean, watching a fight in the air between the Pokemon, Moltres, and the surgeon. A strange music was playing right above him. A Pokeball lay on the ground. Kevin then threw it and saw that there was a Pidgeotto in it. "A Pidgeotto? I need a flying type." Kevin then hopped onto it's back and flew up. The Pidgeotto obeyed Kevin when he ordered him to fly above Moltres so he could jump on. He hopped onto the Moltres' back and began kicking and punching, to finish it off when Kevin then skydives off, expecting Pidgeotto to catch him.

    He began falling until Pidgeotto came to his rescue. The Pokemon that had helped him before, then flew up to the helicopter and used a strong shadowball. The surgeon had a gun and shot the faceplate of the machine before falling to his demise. The Pokemon fell. Pidgeotto flew down for Kevin to get to the Pokemon to try and heal it or take the faceplate off of it. Pidgeotto then flew down to the ground and let Kevin get off. He got to the Pokemon and began taking the machine off, but it was to hard, he couldn't take it all off. He then just tried sliding the faceplate up so he could see the pokemon. It was a very difficult challenge and he still couldn't make it budge. A random man then ran up and took all of his pokeballs except Pidgeotto. "Wait, stop!"
     
    Chapter 12
    Bad Guys, Bulbasaur and Big Red.

    (I'm now switching this to first person, the third person was a bit annoying.)

    I began chasing the man "Give me them back!". The man then tripped over a large stone, making him fall into the dirt, he then fell into a nearby river. "Wait, when did that river get there?" I asked my self. I began praying that Charmander decided not to pop out of the pokeball, he would be done for if he comes in that river. I had nothing else to do, but hop in there with the man, and show him who's boss, underwater. So, I jumped in there and gave a few swift punches, missing, and then saw the man hop out. I looked at the tall, skinny, Mexican man. He had dark black hair, an orange shirt, tight blue jeans, and a thick accent. "Where are my Pokemon at?!" I shouted. "Ah, I has no more of your Pokemans. Please, don't hurt me." He began pulling out everything from his pockets and handing it to me. I saw a pokeball. "Hey, whats that?" I asked. "My first Pokeman." It is a Growlithe, I swear! Mama gave it to me when I was 14." He called out the small orange dog. "How cute." I said, petting it. I knew about Growlithe and Arcanine. "Hey, why hasn't it evolved yet?" I asked. "I got an everstone, I can't have it evolve. To cute." He said. "Everstone?" I said, sounding like an idiot. "Ah, you give it to a Pokeman, and it will never evolve. Ever. See, I made a little necklace out of it." He explained. "Uh, I see." I said. I felt bad about wanting to kill the guy. I mean, he seemed pretty nice. Right? I then noticed an imprint of something in his pocket. "Hey whats that?!" I said.

    He noticed what I was talking about. "Uh..." Then pulled it out. "Whoa!" It was a knife, he took it out and threw it right at my chest. I began choking. The doctors showed up. This time I was in an out. I don't remember the doctors, the nurse, the pokemon, anything. Not even checking out. I woke up laying where I was before, except I had no knife in my chest. Weird. Then it came to me. My Pokemon! Pidgeotto was still circling the sky. This time with a piece of clothe in his mouth. I ignored that. I hoped over the fence that was blocking my way. I hoped into the river looking for my pokeballs. "No luck!" I tried as hard as I could, but had nothing in my hands except a few McDonalds wrappers and a Budweiser bottle. Neither were helpful in this situation. The river was deeper. Now that I say that, it was probably a lake. Yeah, we'll call it a lake. I went deeper. Finding nothing. My head started aching. It would be a good idea to go back up. I began losing my breath. "*gasps* I can't do it anymore. But I need to continue." I went back under. I found a couple of weird things like rings, milk bottles, and something that sort of resembled a dead body. But, absolutely no Pokeballs whatsoever!

    I then went back under and found all of them, which was sort of weird, because I couldn't find them before. I came back up. "Would you like to join me, Pidgeotto?" I guess he said yes because he gladly went into the pokeball I set on the ground for him. He went in and we found a Pokemart. Cool, I guess. I went in... And there it was.... My favorite kind of gum... Big Red! So I went over "How much is this, sir?" I asked the clerk. "Free, nobody likes them at all." he responded. You may find this strange, but I learned something. When life gives you free gum, you don't turn that offer down. So I took the gum and left, feeling pretty good about my new accomplishment, if that's what you'd like to call it. We continued walking, and then we came across a young boy. Maybe 12. Maybe. "I just got a new pokemon, wanna battle?" The boy asked. "Sure, I would love to." He sent out a pidgey. I sent out Pikachu. The boy, for some reason, didn't want to tell his Pidgy to do anything, so I told Pikachu to use thunderbolt. It was a one hit knock out. "Grr. Go, Spearow!" the small bird thing popped out. It flew towards Pikachu, knocking him to the dirt.

    Pikachu popped right back up. I didn't have to tell him to get out of the way when the bird hurled toward him at 30 miles per hour. I told Pikachu to take the chance to hit him as hard as he could with his tail while he was low. Obviously, he did. It knocked the bird to the dust and we found it knocked out. "This time, you'll face my strongest one! Go mystery Pokemon!" Why the kid had to call it "mystery" was a mystery to me, but if this was an Articuno, I'd run like a murderer was chasing me. I sat and waited for him to the the dust off of the pokeball, as if it mattered. He was going to throw it into the dirt anyway, so why bother cleaning it off? He threw it and I sat and chewed my gum. I think the Pokemon didn't want to come out, because this thing had to be kicked like a football to get out. The pokemon came out and it was a Bulbasaur. Now, why he called it a mystery is something I don't understand, its a starter pokemon. It may be rare, but it isn't the greatest Pokemon.

    It used a vine whip on the child's command and caught my Pikachu in a vine and began thrashing. "Pikachu! Use thundershock and make it go up the vines and shock it!" It was a success. It had paralyzed Bulbasaur and it was stuck there doing nothing while the child began yelling at the "stupid thing" to move. I then called Pikachu back and sent out Charmander. Charmander came out and used ember on my command and then knocked it out. The child began yelling and screaming, blaming it on the poor little dinosaur. "This is all your fault Bulbasaur. Keep the stupid thing, here is it's pokeball. I want nothing to do with the piece of trash anymore!" I wish I had it on camera, because right then Charmander jumped up and used a move that he couldn't do. Flamethrower. And sent the kid flying. It was great. I took the pokeball and captured Bulbasaur. I went and continued, on the way to Celadon City, to fight the next gym leader: Erika.
     
    I'm working back onto third person. I'm also making this better. Last time it was lame with retarded commentary courtesy of me. Sorry for making you read garbage. They were too violent and it was barely Pokemon. Sorry.

    Chapter 13:
    Evolution, Eevee, and Everstones

    Kevin stood in tall grass somewhere near Route 7, confused and lost. "Charmander, come here." The plump lizard walked over to Kevin. "Which way do we go to Celadon City? We keep going the same way and we keep ending up where we started at Saffron City." Charmander took the map and turned it around. "Oh! Thanks." Kevin continued in the tall grass filled with Pokemon, wild and mad. They moved along until something burned Kevin. "Agh!" He fell in agony. He looked over at Charmander. "What is the matter with you?!" Charmander looked sad and confused. Charmander then realized what happened and pointed to what did it; a Growlithe. The Dog Pokemon sat looking at Kevin with angry eyes. "You're mine, now!" Kevin pulled out a Pokeball and released his good friend; Squirtle. The Pokemon appeared in a flash of light. "Squirtle! Use Water Gun!" Kevin called. A long flow of water passed from Squirtle's mouth, hitting the dog Pokemon in the face. Growlithe got up and tackled the turtle down. Squirtle popped back up "Use Water Gun once more!" It used water gun and missed. The Growlithe was running at full speed by this point. It was coming. Squirtle landed to the ground after jumping up. The Growlithe was right there. Squirtle dodged the attack, leaving the Growlithe running. It ran right into a tree, forcing the Growlithe down. Kevin thought quickly and caught the Growlithe! "Yes! I did it! And with the help of my good friend, Squirtle! Thanks, buddy!" He returned the Squirtle to its Pokeball and put it back in his case. He took the Growlithe's Pokeball into the case.

    Kevin continued with Charmander at his side. "I am trusting you with the map, now." He handed the map of the region to Charmander. Charmander was leading the way as they moved on and finally, they got to the destination; Celadon City. Kevin walked up to the City. "Whoa. This place is huge. Right Charmander?" He looked over at Charmander, but he wasn't there. "Charmander?" He then looked over at a strange purple building. Charmander clinging to the door. "There you are! What's this place?" He read the words "GAME CORNER" on the front. He walked in with Charmander, observing the building as he watched people playing games. Mostly slot machines. He spoke to a woman at a counter. "Hello. Here is a coin case. You can buy some coins for a low price." Kevin looked at her. "Okay then, thank you. Here you go." He bought 1500 coins and began playing. He played until he had around 7000 coins. He looked over and saw the prizes. He saw a Porygon. It was only 6000! He bought the Porygon and sent it out to walk around. "You're cool!" He said. The walked along trying to learn more about each other.

    "You seem unique. You have a lot of edges." Kevin said, laughing. Porygon then became agitated with Kevin and Charmander who were laughing. Porygon let out a large attack. A beam of multicolored light. Hitting both Kevin and Charmander. Kevin, laying there looking at Charmander who just there. Just sitting there. Kevin pulled out the Porygon's Pokeball and returned it. They walked on. A child around the age of 11 was staring at a poster with pictures of the Game Corner prizes. "Man, I wish I could get a Porygon. I tried my best, but I could only come up with about 3000 coins." The boy said to himself. Kevin approached him. "I just got a Porygon. He doesn't take well to me. I don't really need him, so if you want you can take him." The boy looked up, his eyes bright and wide. "Really? Please! I can take him!" Kevin handed him the Pokeball and walked on to the Pokemon Center where he healed his Pokemon. As he exited, he went to the Gym and stared there for a bit and then went in. He walked in, where he met the Gym Leader; Erika.

    He spoke to her "I'm here to challenge you." Erika stared at him and finally said "Very well. But before we begin, I need to gift you with this." She handed him around six gray stones. "What are these?" She looked over. "They are everstones. You give them to a Pokemon and it stops them from evolving. Kevin looked over at Charmander. "Do you want to evolve?" Charmander looked over and thought for a moment. He then shook his head. He obviously loved his current state and wouldn't change. Kevin looked down and spoke to Charmander "I'll give this to you after the battle. Okay?" Charmander shook his head and began smiling. They began the battle, Erika sending out a Bellsprout, Kevin sending out Growlithe. "Growlithe! Use Ember!" A small burst of flames came out of Growlithe's mouth, hitting the Bellsprout. The Bellsprout was then burnt and couldn't move for a moment. Taking advantage of the moment, Kevin went on to say "Quickly, use Ember once more!" Another burst of flames hit the Bellsprout. Bellsprout hit the ground at once and was down.

    Erika then sent out a Tangela! Tangela went on Erika's command and used Vine Whip, lifting up Growlithe and slamming him to the ground rapidly. "Growlithe, quickly use Ember!" Kevin called. The flame came from Growlithe's mouth and hit the Tangela and burnt the vines, releasing Growlithe. Tangela went to tackle Growlithe, and succeeded. Growlithe was on the ground, weak. He went on, just to get hit once more. He got up. "Use Tackle!" Growlithe slowly jogged to Tangela, just to have been evaded by a Razor Leaf, knocking him out. "Go Charmander!" Charmander was sent out and was ready to fight. Tangela ran to him, about to use Vine Whip, but Charmander evaded it. "Use Ember!" It used Ember and instantly knocked out the Tangela. Erika threw a new Pokeball out and sent out her final Pokemon; Vileplume. It came out and instantly Erika told it to use Poison Powder, poisoning Charmander. "Charmander, use Ember!" Charmander went on to use Ember, hitting Vileplum. Vileplume quickly came back and used Vine Whip and smacked Charmander around.

    Charmander was on the ground. He got back up. "Charmander, use Tackle!" Charmander went and used tackle and knocked Vileplume down. It got back up and tackled Charmander. "Use Metal Claw!" It wasn't very effective, but it hit Vileplume and knocked it back. Vileplume came and hit Charmander with a strong tackle attack. Charmander had fallen, and couldn't get back up. "Charmander! Quickly! Get back up and use Metal Claw!" It got back up and did what he was told to do. He ran up and knocked Vileplume down. When Vileplume got back up, it suddenly fell over. Erika walked back over to Kevin. "Here you go. You are worthy of this." Kevin was handed the Rainbow badge. "Thank you so much." He looked down, Charmander glowing. "He's evolving." Erika said. Kevin pulled out the everstone and handed it to Charmander. Charmander stopped glowing and returned to his normal state. Charmander looked up, smiling. They left when Kevin decided to explore a bit.

    Kevin took a trail behind the Pokemon Center after healing his Pokemon. He walked up to a large building with a sign that said "Celadon Mansion". Kevin walked in with his Charmander companion where they met a strange man where he said "Thank you for listening to me, now I must give you this." and handed him a Pokeball. Kevin looked up "Thanks." he said. He walked outside, sending out the Pokemon; Eevee. Kevin's brother had one, but evolved it into an Espeon. Charmander looked over at the map and Kevin took it and looked over and said "Next stop; Saffron City!"
     
    Chapter 14:
    Friends, Fire, and Flareon

    Kevin walked with his Charmander down the bright, blue skied, Route 7. As they walked on, there was a small, orange-red spot in the grass. Kevin walked on to investigate. As he took a few steps close, a burst of fire lit the route ablaze! "Agh!" The tall, green, grass was on fire and spreading. Before Kevin could move, he pulled out his Pokedex, the Flareon escaping the scene.

    "Flareon, the Flame Pokemon. When storing thermal energy in its body, its temperature could soar over 1600 degrees."

    Kevin stood up, looking at his Charmander, leading the way out. Charmander was now much more stronger with the fire blazing and hitting its tail. They got away from the burning grass and gazed at it in amazement for a moment. Kevin called on Squirtle.

    "Squirtle! Go! Use Water Gun on the fire!"

    A strong blast of water flew from Squirtle's mouth, getting rid of the fire. "Let's go on to Saffron City." They then arrived at the large city. The heart of Kanto. Kevin approached the gym, when he noticed a a small building next to the gym. He walked over to the small, wooden, building. "Fighting Dojo!" a small sign said, sitting right out front of the shack. He entered the building, not knowing what to expect.

    "Hello? Anyone here?" Kevin heard a voice. "Yes, approach me, young one..." Kevin turned around. "Hello?" A man sitting in a Karate outfit was sitting there. "Hello. Do you prefer the art of kicking, or punching?" Kevin was now confused. "Kicking? I guess...?" The man looked in his eyes. ".... excellent! Take this." He handed Kevin a Pokeball. The man looked over. "Inside is the kicking Pokemon, Hitmonlee. Use the power wisely..." Kevin exited the building and went on, the pokeball in his bag. He should have put it in the PC, but he decided to keep it for now, until he finds a Pokemon Center.

    Kevin walked on, into the Saffron City Gym, ready for anything coming his way. He entered, small panels everywhere. He was enclosed with walls. He stepped onto a panel. "Ah!" He screamed as he was teleported behind a wall, more panels. He began stepping on all of the panels around him until he came to one facing a young woman.

    "Hello, my name is Sabrina." Kevin looked over. "Oh! Hi. I'm here to challenge you." Charmander at his side. Sabrina looked down at the lizard in disgust. "Oh... Okay then. Let's begin." It began when Sabrina sent out a Kadabra. Kevin sat when he threw out Bulbasaur. "Go Bulbasaur!" Bulbasaur came from a flash of light. "Bulbasaur, use Razor Leaf!" A large flurry of sharp leaves came and swept the Kadabra off of its feet, leaving it on the floor. "Excellent! Now Bulbsaur, use Vine Whip!" As he said that, a rope of vines came from the Bulbsaur's back and began whipping the Kadabra mercilessly. The Kadabra stood, weak and tired. It used Psychic, but Sabrina never said anything. The vines of Bulbasuar's began slapping himself like he was possessed. "Bulbsaur, snap out of it!" Bulbasaur then stopped. "Great! Bulbasaur! Use Vine Whip!" It picked up the Kadabra and slammed it against the ground 7 times, exactly. Then dropped it to the ground.

    The Kadabra was now unable to battle. Sabrina then sent out an Alakazam, but she didn't touch it, which was strange. "Use Vine Whip!" Sabrina then stood up, the vines tied around Kevin's legs and threw him and Bulbsaur through a window. He woke up outside of the gym with a boy standing at the door of the gym with a Pidgeot sitting beside him.

    "Hello there." Kevin approached him. "Oh, Hi." The boy said. "My name is Kevin. Who are you and what happened to me?" The boy looked down at Kevin. "I'm Skyler. You were thrown from that window. Sabrina is a Psychic leader and used her Psychic powers to throw you through that window, right there." Kevin looked at the shattered window. Bulbasaur was now in his Pokeball and all was well. Skyler and Kevin had talked and Skyler had agreed to joining Kevin on his journeys across the Kanto region. Kevin looked over. "I need to battle Sabrina. I'll be back."

    He approached the Gym and entered. "So… you came back for more. It's your death." Kevin sent out his Pikachu this time. "Pikachu! Use Thunderwave!" A wave of electricity hit the Kadabra. It stopped in it's tracks. "Use Thundershock!" The stroke of lightning came out and hit the Kadabra, knocking it out. Out came Alakazam. It used a strong Psychic hit and knocked Pikachu back. Pikachu came back up. "Pikachu use Thunderbolt!" A large bolt of lightning came and hit the Alakazam. Alakazam stood with it's eyes closed and the spoons in his hands bent forward. Pikachu flew across the room. It was unable to battle. "Go Charmander." Charmander came out. Without an order, a large burst of flames came and terrorized the entire gym, flamethrower. The Gym was on fire. The fire on the field stopped and Alakazam was knocked out. Charmander returned to its Pokeball. Sabrina was gone. "Where are you?! My badge!" He looked at the space where his badge should be, he closed it, then re-opened it. It was there. Kevin walked outside. "I got it!" Kevin exclaimed. Skyler looked over "Awesome." They continued on their journey; to Fuschia City.
     
    Chapter 15:
    Rivalry Meeting

    Kevin and Skyler went south on Route 12 as they were making their way, slowly, to Fuchsia City to battle Koga and his Pokemon to obtain the Soul Badge. As they walked, they began admiring the water, Charmander beside Kevin, away from the water of course. They made it to Route 13 where they Magikarp swimming and Horsea jumping out of the water. They arrived to Route 14 where Kevin saw what he wasn't hoping to see; Jimmy and Marty.

    "Hey! It's Kevin!" Shouted Jimmy, with an Ivysaur at his side. Marty turned around and looked at Kevin and Skyler, a Fearow by his side. "Oh, hello Kevin. Who is your friend?" Kevin looked down, upset at what he was getting himself into. "This is Skyler, we met at Saffron City where I got my Marsh Badge. I am now coming here to get my Soul Badge..." Jimmy's eyes widened "You got the Marsh Badge before the Soul Badge? Oh boy! We are helping each other as well and we just got our Marsh Badges. We were here visiting my Grandmother." Skyler looked at the Fearow, but didn't say anything. Kevin looked down at Ivysaur who was attempting to intimidate Charmander.

    Kevin looked over at the tall grass where a large yellow Pokemon approached them. Kevin pulled out his Pokedex.

    "Jolteon, the Lightning Pokémon. It accumulates negative ions in the atmosphere to blast out 10000-volt lightning bolts. it said in a robotic voice.

    "Who's is this?" Kevin said to his rivals. Jimmy lifted his head. "It's mine. I'm sure you were thinking of catching it like it was wild." Kevin rolled his eyes at the ridiculous statement. Kevin looked over at Marty. For some reason, Marty couldn't take his eyes off of Skyler's 6 Pokeballs on his belt. When Marty finally looked up he said "How about we have a double battle?" Skyler looked over to Marty. "It sounds like a good idea to me! How about you, Kevin?" Kevin shrugged his shoulders. "Sure..." They started off the battle with Jimmy sending out his Pidgeotto and Marty sending out a Scyther. Kevin sent out his Pikachu, Skyler with his Munchlax.

    Kevin made the first move. "Pikachu, use Thunder on Pidgeotto!" A large beam of light from the sky hit Pidgeotto. It came back up and looked at Munchlax with mad eyes. Marty shouted "Pidgeotto, use Aerial Ace on Munchlax!" Pidgeotto flew up and attacked Munchlax at full speed. It was Skyler's turn now. "Munchlax! Use Body Slam on Scyther!" Munchlax ran as fast as his large body could and jumped directly on the Scyther. The Scyther brought himself back up. "Scyther! Use Slash on Munchlax!" Marty exclaimed. Scyther came extremely quick and slashed Munchlax's stomach. Munchlax was on the ground. "C'mon, Munchlax. Get up! You can do it." Munchlax was on the ground, not getting up. Suddenly, he stood up, glowing. Munchlax had evolved into Snorlax.

    "Pikachu, use Thunderbolt!" A strike of lightning came from Pikachu's cheeks and knocked Pidgeotto down, and out. Jimmy then sent out his Starmie. "Starmie! Use Hyper Beam on Snorlax!" Jimmy shouted. The multicolored beam came out. Snorlax somehow evaded the attack. Skyler called "Snorlax! Use Giga Impact on Scyther!" A burst of energy went and hit Scyther, knocking it out. Marty smiled. He sent out his Jolteon. "Jolteon! Use Thunder on Snorlax!" A large beam of light attacked Snorlax and knocked it out. Skyler sent out his Charizard. Charizard stood. "Charizard! Use Flamethrower on Jolteon!" A large wave of fire came from the dragon and hit Jolteon. Jolteon was on the ground, burnt. He had burn marks everywhere.

    Jolteon stood for a moment and then fell. He staggered to Marty and fell, his sign of weakness. Marty returned Jolteon, as it was unable to battle. "Starmie! Use Swift on Pikachu!" A beam of stars came and hit Pikachu to the ground and continued hitting him. Pikachu stood, shaking. "Pikachu! Use Thundershock on Starmie." A shock of lightning hit Starmie and paralyzed it. Marty sent out his Croconaw, his last Pokemon left. "Croconaw! Use Splash on Charizard!" A splash of water came from Croconaw and hit Charizard hard. Charizard stood back up. "Charizard! Use Heatwave!" Every Pokemon on the field was hit, including Pikachu. Pikachu fell to the ground, the same goes with Starmie. They were on the floor. Kevin returned Pikachu and sent out Eevee. Jimmy sent out his Ivysaur, his last Pokemon. Eevee stood there, proud and small. He was ready for anything to hit him.

    "Eevee! Use Iron Tail on Croconaw!" Kevin yelled. It wasn't very effective, but it knocked Croconaw down and made him a bit more weaker. "Ivysaur, use Razor Leaf on Eevee!" Eevee quickly took advantage of its speed and dodge every leaf that was coming towards it. "Charizard! Use Flamethrower on Ivysaur!" It knocked the Pokemon out. The only one left was Croconaw. "Croconaw! Use Water Pulse on Eevee!" A ring of water came and smacked Eevee hard. Eevee stood back up. "Eevee! Use Iron Tail once more!" Croconaw ran towards it, Eevee running as well. The impact of both Pokemon running and the Iron Tail attack hit Croconaw out. Marty called back Croconaw. They stood side by side, Jimmy and Marty. "It was great seeing you again, Kevin. I wish you and your teammate the best in your journeys." Skyler and Kevin moved on to Fuchsia City. "Well, we're here. Ready to go battle Koga?" Skyler asked. "Yup. And I'm ready for anything." Kevin replied.
     
    Chapter 16:
    Battles, Blastoise, and Badges

    Kevin and Skyler had entered Fuchsia City. "This place is great! I'm letting my Pokemon out." Kevin said. "I will too." Skyler replied. They sent out all of their Pokemon and began browsing the city. As they looked around, they had found a Zoo filled with Pokemon. "Why is there an empty pool where there should be a Blastoise?" Kevin asked. Squirtle was curious as well, so curious that he jumped over the fence and went in looking for him. "What are you doing?!" Kevin shouted. Kevin climbed over the fence and jumped into the water, leaving Skyler with his Pokemon. As Kevin went under, he felt something leave his pocket, probably nothing. He went looking for Squirtle. He had gotten too deep and he lost his breath. He came up, gasping for air.

    "Squirtle is probably fine. Blastoise sit at the bottom of water to sleep. He'll probably go down there and see that Blastoise is sleeping and come back up. It'll be fine." Skyler said.

    "I know that, I just want to make sure he doesn't get hurt. Let's just wait a bit for it to come back up." Kevin said, worriedly. Skyler nodded his head.

    The boys waited for about an hour and there was still no sign of Squirtle. Kevin was pacing around the outside of the pool. "How deep could that pool possibly be?!" he shouted. Skyler walked over. "Well, it has been a while. Here, my Blastoise is here. He can go down with you." The Blastoise jumped over the fence and directly into the pool. Kevin sat on top of the large turtle's back and they went under. He scanned the pool and he found no sign of Squirtle. They hit the bottom and there was no Blastoise; no Squirtle. Kevin screamed in frustration, causing him to choke. He swam as fast as he could to the top, but he eventually fainted. When he awoke, he was in a strange cave with no water. The only thing there was 4 potions and a weak, tired, Squirtle; his Squirtle. Squirtle walked over to Kevin. "I found you! Where are we?!" Squirtle pointed to the potions.

    Kevin gave Squirtle 3 of the 4 potions. Squirtle then pointed to a large piece of wood at the wall of the cave, blocking a hole that lead to who-knows-where. Kevin reached into his back pocket to stare at the badges he knew he didn't deserve. He reached and found nothing. His badge case, and his badges were missing. They waited a few more hours when they heard water splashing coming from the wood that was blocking something. Water began leaking through. What was going on? "Wait here. When I say 'Surf', you run ahead of me, and I'll grab onto your arm and we'll face whatever is there." Squirtle nodded. Kevin kicked the wood and shouted "Surf!". Water began pouring in. He was there at in the pool. Where he saw one Blastoise and another Blastoise fighting. In between the two was his badge case. Squirtle then swam between the two and grabbed the case. He handed it to Kevin. They swam to the top of the pool, one Blastoise heading at full speed after Kevin and Squirtle, the other one right behind the other. Kevin and Squirtle hit the surface, but not for long. Kevin took a deep breath and was pulled back under by one of the Blastoises.

    One Blastoise used Skull Bash on his head and knocked him down. He blanked out. When he woke up, he was by the Zoo cage and Skyler was there with his Blastoise, the one who didn't pull him under. Skyler looked down.

    "Looks like you got beat up down there, huh? My Blastoise went back under after you lost your breath. He didn't find you, but he found what we were looking for; the Blastoise. They fought, and mine won."

    Kevin looked at him. "That's good. We saw them fighting and one of them knocked me out." Skyler nodded his head. "Well, we need to make our way to this Gym if you want to get your badge." Kevin remembered the real reason they were there. "Oh yeah." They moved on and found the gym. "Well, here we are." Kevin continued walking. "Wait! Don't!" Skyler shouted. Kevin walked directly into a wall... An invisible wall. "You need to walk around it or find another way." Kevin rolled his eyes at the set-up of the gym. "This is ludicrous..." He walked around each of the invisible walls, making it to a normal looking trainer. "Hi. My name is Kevin Branch. I would like to find Koga, but I don't see him." The trainer laughed and pulled off his disguise. He really was Koga. "Mwaahahaha. You want to challenge me. Good Luck. Let us begin the battle.

    Koga started off by sending out a Grimer. "Go Growlithe!" Kevin shouted. The dog popped out of the ball in a flash of light. "Use Ember!" A small burst of flames evenly flowed from the Pokemon's mouth, hitting the pile of liquid, and setting it on fire. "Grimer! Use Smog." A thick, purple, mist came from the Pokemon. Growlithe went to the ground, and out of fear, released flames on the battle field and the smoke overtook the smog. The Grimer melted to the ground from his burn. "Growlithe, use Ember, quick!" Another burst of flames went and hit the Grimer. The Grimer was unable to battle. "Go Arbok." Koga said, calmly. The snake came out. "Arbok, use Wrap!" The Snake Pokemon wrapped himself around Growlithe and Growlithe was unable to move. He was paralyzed in fear and he couldn't move. "Arbok! Use Bite!" After it unraveled itself from Growlithe, it took a large bite into its face. Growlithe fell to the ground. Kevin sent out his Eevee. "Go Eevee." Eevee came to its feet.

    "Eevee, use Bite!" Eevee ran to the Snake and took what was a large bite for the Eevee. "Haha! Arbok! Use Toxic!" A large splash of purple came from the Arbok's mouth and hit the ground at Eevee's feet, almost hitting him. "Eevee! Use Iron Tail!" Eevee ran over and hit Arbok with its tail. Arbok went into the air and hit Koga, knocking him down. Koga jumped up. "You are strong, but not as strong as this!" He Shouted. He sent out his Golbat. Kevin looked over behind him, Skyler with his Charizard and Kevin's other Pokemon sitting on the bleachers. Kevin laughed at the sight of the large Charizard on the bleachers. "Eevee! Use Iron Tail!" His tail turned to iron and he ran and hit Golbat. Golbat stopped himself from falling by going into the air. "Golbat! Use Aerial Ace!" Golbat flew up high and came back and pierced Eevee. Kevin stood for a moment and thought to himself.

    If I leave Eevee out there, he'll just keep using Iron Tail and it won't be effecting the Golbat as much. I could send out Pikachu and have him use Thunder and knock Golbat down to the ground, paralyze him, and finish him with a quick attack or something.

    Kevin sent Eevee back to rest. "Pikachu, come here." Pikachu jumped from the bleachers and walked slowly to the battle field. "You're up." Kevin said. "Pikachu stood there with a large smile on his face, ready for anything. "Pikachu! Use Thunder!" The attack went perfectly. It hit Golbat and he wasn't able to move. "Pikachu! Now use Tackle." Piakchu ran and hit Golbat. Golbat then flew into the air. "Golbat, Go!" Golbat went to the ground and went gliding towards Pikachu at full speed. Kevin became confused.

    What?! What is he doing?! What do I do? Let Pikachu get hit?! No! I know what to do...

    "Pikachu! Use Discharge!" Pikachu turned around and then let out all of his electricity around him. The Golbat flew directly into the electricity that was coming towards him as well. The Golbat flew to the ground. It was done!

    "You have fought well, young one. I reward you with this; the Soul Badge." Kevin looked up. "Thank you. I appreciate this." As Kevin and Skyler left the Gym, Skyler looked over at Kevin. "Y'know. The only way to get to Cinnabar Island is to go from Pallet Town. We'll be able to see your family." Kevin looked over. "Oh Great... Well this will be fun." And so our heroes continue their journey.
     
    Chapter 17:
    Family, Fire, More Flareons

    Kevin and Skyler were making their way back to Pallet Town. They were at Viridian City. They had gone on Skyler's Pidgeot to make it quicker. They walked through the large weeds and had entered Pallet Town. The first thing that greeted them was little Mark; the little boy about 6 or 7 who stood at entrance to Pallet Town. "Hi Kevin! Who is that?" Mark said. "This is my friend Skyler who I met in Saffron City. They approached Kevin's house, but they heard something out back. They went out back and saw an Arcanine and a Flareon. Dan and... Who was that? It was Kyle; Kevin's younger brother. "Flareon! Use Overheat!" Kyle Shouted. The battlefield lit and Dan's Arcanine fell to the ground. Kevin sat in astonishment at what he was witnessing; his younger brother was better than him... Or so it appeared.

    "Hey guys!" Kevin said. His brothers turned around to see him.

    "Who is this, Kevin? Someone you met on your travels?" Dan asked.

    "My name is Skyler. I was at Saffron City and I joined Kevin on his travels." Dan looked at him. "Oh... So um.. Where are your Pokemon at?" Skyler looked at him. "Right here on my belt." Dan looked and smiled. "Are you good?" Skyler shook his head. Dan Laughed. "You want a battle?" Skyler thought for a moment. "Sure." The Battle Started when Skyler threw his Blastoise in. Dan thought for a second. "Go!" He threw a Pokeball and with all of the things Kevin told Skyler about Dan, he was expecting a Zapdos. The Pokeball opened and out came a Pikachu. "Hahaha. A Pikachu?! You've got to be kidding me!" Dan looked over. "Laugh while you can, but this has been well trained and it has been taught attacks that normal Pikachu wouldn't be able to handle." Blastoise started it off. "Blastoise, use Hydro Pump!" Skyler shouted. It's cannons on his back fired and Blastoise had blown out water from them at full speed towards Pikachu. "Get Ready." Dan said calmly to Pikachu. Pikachu jumped on the water that acted as cannonballs and once in air Dan shouted. "Thunder!" And Pikachu used the strongest Thunder Kevin had ever seen. It shocked Blastoise to the ground and Paralyzed it.


    "Blastoise, you can do it! Come up!" It got up, but couldn't move. "Pikachu! Use Volt Tackle!" Pikachu's body flared with Electricity and ran towards Blastoise and sent him to the ground, making him unable to battle. Skyler sent out Charizard. "Alright Pikachu, come back. Go! Poliwrath!" Out came the evolution of his once small and cute Poliwhirl. "Poliwrath! Use Surf!" Poliwrath jumped up and water appeared under it, it rode the wave over Charizard's head, drenching Charizard. Charizard stood there. He was hurt, but he wasn't done yet. "Charizard! Use Fly!" Charizard flew up to the Sky. "Stay. Don't attack." Charizard flew back down to hit him at full speed. "Now, roll!" Poliwrath rolled way and let Charizard hit the ground headfirst. Charizard was down. "We're not done yet. Go! Magneton!" Skyler shouted. Dan returned Poliwrath. "Go!" He sent it out… The Pokemon that nobody ever saw him use; Moltres! The large Phoenix stood there waiting for a command. "Magneton! Use Discharge!" Bolts flew everywhere, hitting Moltres harder then everybody thought that it would.
    "Moltres! Use Heat Wave!" The backyard lit up and was hotter than anyone thought it would Charmander, Moltres, and Flareon were heated. The Magnemite flew around everywhere. They joined back together. "Magneton! Use Thunderbolt!" A bolt of lightning flew from each of the Magnemite, doubling the power of the attack. They all hit Moltres. Moltres laid on the ground for a moment with its eyes closed. Dan and Skyler thought this was the end, but it wasn't. Moltress stood up and got flared up, and mad. "Moltres, finish him off with Sky Attack!" It glew up in red and yellow colors and waited.


    "Magnemite! Cancel the attack with Thunderbolt!" More bolts flew, all were deflected and Moltres flew at high speeds and began glowing with fire and hit Magnemite. It was unable to battle. "Hah! Go, Raichu!" Dan looked up at the sky, it was going to storm. "Go Golem!" Golem popped out of the Pokeball. "Golem! Use Earthquake!" Dan Shouted. The ground shook and Raichu fell into a large hole that was caused by the Earthquake. It came out. "Raichu! Use surf!" Dan looked at it and laughed. Raichu rode the wave in and it smacked Golem hard. It was out. How was that possible? Dan grinned and Sent out a Pokeball. "Go! Venusaur!" A Venusaur came from the Pokeball. "Ah! It's been too long. My first Pokemon… Use Razor Leaf!" The razor sharp leaves came and hit Raichu hard. Raichu evaded some, but it was hit hard by the ones that did hit him. "Raichu! Use Thunder!" Thunder came from the sky and hit Venusaur hard. Too hard. Venusaur got back up. "Venusaur! Use Vine Whip!" Vines came from the plant on his back and picked Raichu up and slammed him down to the ground. Raichu was down.
    "Go Pidgeot!" Pidgeot came from the Pokeball. Now Skyler had the advantage and he was taking the opportunity to take Dan's Venusaur down. "Pidgeot! Use Fly!" Pidgeot flew up high. "Venusaur! Use Vine Whip!" Its vines extended and smacked Pidgeot out of the sky. It flew back up and went down at extreme speed. While it was coming, the old Venusaur used Vine Whip and smacked Pidgeot to the ground before it hit him. Pidgeot got back up. "Pidgeot! Use Whirlwind!" The wind began to spin and it hit Venusaur to the ground. "Venusaur! Use Razor Leaf!" Dan shouted. The leaves hit Pidgeot out of the sky. Pidgeot was down.
    Last Pokemon… Skyler thought to himself.


    This kid better pick something good. Ha. I only lost one of my Pokemon. He has to have something good. Dan thought to himself.
    "Go Snorlax!" Skyler shouted, in hopes that this will go well. Snorlax stood there. "Snorlax! Use Body Slam!" Skyler said. Dan looked surprised. "Starting it off well, I see." Snorlax jogged over to Venusaur and jumped up and body slammed Venusaur. He was hit. Venusaur sat and flinched, unable to attack.

    "Great. Snorlax, use Rollout." Skyler said, calmly this time. It pushed a large rock and hit Venusaur down. "Venusaur! Quickly, use Vine Whip and throw it back." Dan said, panicked. It took the rock and threw it, not at Snorlax, but into the air, where it would land, nobody knew. It was coming down quickly towards Kyle, Kevin, Flareon, and Charmander. It hit Charmander to the ground. Charmander was hit and was not responding. He was knocked out! Kevin panicked. He ran to the house to his mother who could heal Charmander with something. The battle continued. Venusaur was weak. "Snorlax! Finished him with Hyper Beam!" Snorlax inhaled and his mouth shot out a multicolored beam of light, hitting Venusaur to the ground. He was down.


    "Hm… Go Scyther!" Dan sent out his Scyther that he'd had since he was 10. He received it for Christmas from their uncle. Kevin had received a Pokemon too, but nobody knows what happened to it. Scyther stood there with his blades ready. "Scyther, use Slash." Dan said, calmly. Scyther flew at full speed with his blade ready to cut Snorlax. It sliced Snorlax in the stomach and Snorlax fell to the ground and got right back up.

    "You trained that Snorlax very well. Did you get it as a Snorlax?" Dan asked.

    "Thank you. No, I got it as a Munchlax." Skyler replied.

    "Well it was trained perfectly."

    Snorlax got back up. He couldn't move. His energy was drained from Hyper Beam. "Scyther, Use Razor Wind." The wind began to go at full speeds and it became sharp and hit Snorlax, knocking him down, and out.
    "That was a wonderful battle and you're a great trainer to have raised that Snorlax so well."
    Skyler replied. "Thank you. It was a great battle. It was a privilege to battle you after all of the wonderful things Kevin has said about you and your Pokemon." Dan looked away and when he turned his head back he looked surprised. Charmander was now healed and better.
    "Hey, Dan. I got an Eevee. I remember you had one. Where is it now?" Kevin asked.
    Dan nodded. "Really? It's a Jolteon now. Follow me." He lead them to his room where his Jolteon was on his bed, sleeping. He pulled out a paper.

    "Here." It was a paper with 3 Pokemon; Flareon, Jolteon, and some foreign Blue Pokemon.
    Kevin was intrigued by the blue one. "What is that?" He asked. Dan looked at it. "That's a Vaporeon. You need a water stone to evolve Eevee into that. I have all stones if you want one." Kevin looked at Eevee. "Sure. But he doesn't know any water attacks." Dan looked in a case. "Here you go. These are discs called 'TMs' and they teach Pokemon attacks. Here is Surf, Ice Beam, and Waterfall. He'll Learn Hydro Pump, Aurora Beam, and More." Kevin looked over to him. "Thanks so much. Now It's time." He handed the stone to Eevee and he turned into a Vaporeon. He learned the TMs.

    While there, he talked about Growlithe. "How does Growlithe evolve?" he asked. "They evolve when exposed to a Fire Stone. I have one of those as well, if you'd like one." Kevin nodded his head and sent out his Growlithe. "Here, Growlithe." Growlithe had evolved into an Arcanine. Dan then asked him. "What about that Pokemon we got from Uncle Frank?" Kevin looked down… "Oh yeah. It scared me so I hid it in my nightstand and never looked at it again." Dan looked surprised. "C'mon. That was 10 years ago. I think we can go and get it. What was it?" Kevin looked up again. "It was a Lapras. I'll go and get it again. Whatever."

    He put the Lapras' Pokeball into his backpack and went back downstairs. "Mom!" he shouted. He was searching for his mom. "Mom!" His mom was in the living room. "Yes?" Kevin approached her. "I want you to have this and take care of him. He needs someone like you…" She looked at him. "Oh, you don't have to give this to me. I have Ninetales and Vulpix." Kevin smiled. "Exactly! He needs a friend like Ninetales and Vulpix. Ninetales, well, she is lonely and needs help raising Vulpix. Please." She took the Pokeball from Kevin. "Okay. I guess you're right." Kevin smiled. "Thank you!"

    Skyler walked in. "Um… I don't think we can stay here for too much longer. It's pouring out there. Oh! Hi, Mrs. Branch. I'm Skyler, Kevin's friend. We met in Saffron City. Kevin's mom smiled. "Nice to meet you. You boys can stay here for as long as you'd like!" Kevin looked over at her. "Really? Thanks mom! We'll stay here and move on to Cinnabar City tomorrow."
     
    Chapter 18:
    Eeveelution Battle
    Skyler, Kevin, and the Branch family were inside their home in the town of Pallet Town. The storm was hard and wasn't getting better. Kevin sat up and looked at his mother and father. "Mom, do you think we could stay overnight? There is no way that this is going to die down soon…" She turned and looked at him. "Of course you can. Why wouldn't you? This is your house too." Kevin smiled. It was getting later and they wouldn't be able to leave tomorrow if the weather continued. They spent the night there and it was around 3:49 AM when Kevin got up for a moment and walked to Danny's room. Everything was in place. His pack, his Jolteon sleeping on his bed with him, his desk, a poster of the Electabuzz baseball team, and a Voltorb clock, sitting on his nightstand.

    He moved on to Kyle's room. He went in expecting to see his Flareon and him on the bed, his pack, his set of badges on his desk, and his plush Jigglypuff that he got for his 9th birthday. He walked in and only saw the Jigglypuff sitting there on the bed, motionless. A bright light appeared from down the hall. Kevin froze in fear that it was Kyle and his Flareon. It was just his sleepy, confused, sleepwalking Charmander who found him. "Charmander!" Kevin whispered loudly. The lizard walked over to him and let out a large "Chaaaaaaaaaar." Kevin peeked into Dan's room to make sure he didn't hear anything. If Jolteon would hear something, it would jump off of the bed to investigate, waking Danny.
    Dan was laying there with his head facing up, sleeping. Jolteon was on his side facing the wall with Dan's arms wrapped around it. They looked happy together. Charmander was about to walk off of the stairs. "No!" Kevin whispered. Charmander turned, his eyes still closed. It would be best to take Charmander back to his bed, but he was the only light source. Kevin walked into the room Skyler was staying at, the living room. Skyler was sleeping on his Snorlax's stomach and had a large blanket for each of them. They looked content. They went and checked their parent's room. They found them sleeping in there. Ninetales and Vulpix cuddled up. Arcanine was on the left side of the bed. They were investigating the whole house. They moved on into the basement. A Zubat flew in from the small window at the side. Kevin slammed the window shut.

    No sign of Kyle. They moved up with Charmander as the flashlight. They went upstairs to his sister, Paige's room. They found her sleeping on her bed. Her Jigglypuff at her side. The Jigglypuff was breathing and expanding while breathing. Her Pikachu sleeping on the ground. She was only 8 years old, but she received Pokemon as pets for her Birthday and Christmas. She was much too young to battle Gym Leaders and travel regions. She was gentle. Kevin tiptoed to the doorway, tripping on her Eevee who was still sleeping. Charmander led the way, but was shifting off and on from sleep. They entered his brother Cole's room. He was laying there with his Sandshrew. Only 12 and had a few Pokemon. His Meowth slept at his feet. A Pikachu rested on his desk. Kyle wasn't in here. He walked in to his sister Bridget's room.
    Her Butterfree was sleeping on her desk. She was laying there sleeping with her Clefairy at her side sleeping as well. She was 10 years old. Just got her first Pokemon; a Squirtle. The same as Kyle's first Pokemon. Her Squirtle was sleeping at the doorway. He was in his shell and was smaller than ever and harder to not trip on. Kyle wasn't here. Where was he? The rain died. It got brighter than ever outside. Kevin checked the time on Bridget's Pidgey clock. He didn't know how to operate it. He pressed a button that said "Time!" on it, in hopes it would tell the time.
    "5:04! 5:04! 5:04!" a Pidgey shouted while moving back and forth.

    Kevin slid under the bed in hopes that he wouldn't be seen Clefairy jumped up and Bridget was wide awake. She stared at the Pidgey and looked at the prime-suspect; Charmander. He was half awake, but he looked at Bridget with a strange face. "Stupid Lizard!" she shouted. She got out of bed and kicked Charmander in the leg. He couldn't feel anything, but he walked out of the room and probably back to Kevin's room. He waited under the bed for Clefairy to fall completely asleep. Bridget was already asleep. He got up and ran out of the room.
    He looked outside, too bright for 5:04. He was searching for an hour and a half for Kyle. He looked outside to see Flareon and Kyle. Kevin called back all of his Pokemon to go back outside with him. He went outside with his pajamas and his slippers on. The ground was dry and Flareon was outside with Kyle.

    "Kevin!" Kyle shouted.

    "Kyle, what are you doing out here? It's 5 in the morning…"

    "I know that… I'm out here training because I know that you are leaving for Cinnabar Island tomorrow and before you leave, I wanted to battle with you… I got 2 Gym Badges and I want to show you how good I got since then." He said, sadly.

    "Oh… Well… I would like to battle you now, then." Kevin said, awkwardly.

    Kyle looked over. "Really? Okay then. You start off. Go! Beedrill!"

    Beedrill popped from the Pokeball and was ready to fight! "Go! Charmander!" Charmander stood there, now wide awake. "Charmander, Use Flamethrower!" He blew fire from his mouth and hit the Beedrill out with one hit. "Sorry." Kyle got mad. Keeping his temper, all he could say was "It's fine… Go! Nidorino!" The Nidorino came out. "Hm?" Kevin asked himself. He pulled out his Pokedex.
    "Nidorino: The Poison Pin Pokémon. An aggressive Pokémon that is quick to attack. The horn on its head secretes a powerful venom." The Pokedex answered.

    "Okay, Nidorino, Use Horn Drill!" It lunged forward and hit Charmander. Charmander was down. "Go Vaporeon!" Vaporeon came out. "Use Ice Beam!" It used Ice Beam. Nidorino was frozen. "No! Nidorino!" Kyle shouted. "Use Tackle, Vaporeon!" Vaporeon ran and smashed the ice and knocked Nidorino out. "Go! Squirtle!" Kyle sent Squirtle out. "Use Surf!" It went onto a wave of water and hit Vaporeon. It shook it off. "Vaporeon, use Ice Beam!" It fired ice from its mouth and hit Squirtle. Squirtle was down on the ground. "Squirtle, use Bite!" Squirtle rode a small wave of water over and jumped onto Vaporeon's head and bit him. It jumped to the ground and began glowing. Squirtle evolved into Wartortle!

    "Vaporeon, use Ice Beam!" It fired one more beam of ice and hit Wartortle to the ground. He was down. "Gah! Last one… Go! Flareon!" Flareon came out. It was mad. "Use Bite!" It ran and bit Vaporeon. Vaporeon fell to the ground. Too many bites. "Go Squirtle!" Squirtle came out. "Use Water Pulse!" Water came from his mouth in rings and hit Flareon. Flareon got up quickly. "Use Flamethrower, Flareon!" It blew out fire. It hit Squirtle and he was hurt for a fire attack.

    "Squirtle, use another Water Pulse." It blew out more water. Flareon was getting weaker. "Use Flamethrower again, Flareon." It was working harder. It fell to the ground. Flareon was down. "No! No! No! No! NO!" Kyle shouted.
    "I'm sorry, but you fought well and we will meet again and fight." Kevin said.
    "So did you. Thank you for battling me. I will train harder and become great!" Kyle said, hopefully.
    "I'm sure you will, Kyle."

    Kevin waited for his family to wake up. Skyler came downstairs late. "Good morning, everybody! Anybody else sleep well last night?" Skyler said happily. Kevin looked over at him. "No…" Kevin's mom came over. "I made pancakes if anyone is hungry." Skyler walked over. "Thank you. I'm so hungry." Kevin looked at him. "We need to get over to Cinnabar if I want to fight Blaine." Kevin said. Skyler looked over at him, "Okay. After I'm done." They got pancakes and put them in a plastic container as they walked away. He looked back.

    I have a great family…

    Kevin thought to himself. They walked on, looking back at the family waving to them, good bye.
