| Chapter Two |
| One more day� |
|
| Pikachu woke up. The alarm clock went off. "Pi pika chu?" said Pikachu. He looked at me. He gave me a thundershock. I woke up. "Good job, Pikachu!" I said as I patted Pikachu on the head. I then ran downstairs, got some food for each pokemon, looking in my research book. Let me see here� Sandshrew can eat granola for breakfast, Pidgey can eat birdseed, Magikarp will eat fish food, and Eevee and Pikachu can eat apples. All of my pokemon can drink milk. I brought up all the food, and fed all of my pokemon. I then called them all back except Eevee and Pikachu. |
| Walking outside was a new experience for Pikachu, like Pikachu was born in a lab. He looked out at this new world, smelling grass and flowers, and Eevee was guiding him. "Okay, okay, you guys can have the day off. Just be here by 8:00 P.M." I said, throwing a spare watch around Eevee`s neck. I saw them run off toward the woods, but I knew they`d find their way out. |
| I headed for school, to go and get a license. I stood in line for an hour, and I finally got to the stand. "Hello, and what may I do for you?" said Prof. Elm at the stand. "I`d like to get my license. Here is my report card�" I said, handing in my report card. He examined the card, scanned it, sent the data through a computer, and out popped a pokedex. "OK, Daniel, here you go!" He said, handing me my pokedex and an instruction manual. I tested out the pokedex. Hmm� The instructions read: For your actual license, push the first white button. I looked inside of my pokedex. I pushed the white button. I heard a ding, and the pokedex said, "I am Morpheus, the pokedex of Daniel Lough, trainer Grade A. I am programmed to help, serve, and be of use to Daniel Lough. I can not be replaced if lost or stolen." I then read: Pokemon Storage System is the second white button. You can switch pokemon for battle, for you can only carry six at a time. Blue Buttons: Theese buttons will give you data when aimed at pokemon. Button 1: Data. Button 2: Type. Button 3: Best attacks. Button 4: Location. Button 5: Level Locator. Button 6: ID number. Button 7: Personality. Button 8: Special Ability. Button 9: Favorite Foods. Button 10: Best Qualities. I released my pidgey outside of the school. I used pokedex Blue Button 5. "This Pidgey is at lv15." Said Morpheus. I now pressed Blue Button 6. "This Pidgey has no nickname, is ID number 955460, OT Daniel Lough." Said Morpheus. I now tested Blue Button 7. "Pidgey is a pokemon of pleasant demeanor. It will not attack untill attacked. As a pet, it is very calm and peaceful." Said Morpheus. Finally, I tested Blue Button #9. "Pidgey`s Favorite Foods include Bug pokemon, bird seed, and apples." Said Morpheus. |
| With Eevee showing Pikachu around town, I only had Sandshrew, Pidgey, and Magikarp. I headed toward the Police Station for permission to catch pokemon. "OK, Daniel, you can catch Pokemon," said the Raurenton Officer Jenny, "but you can only catch 3 before your legal start tomorrow." "OK, thank you, Jenny!" I said, and headed for the local catching area. |
| I saw many Rattata and Pidgey. Suddenly, I saw a Caterpie. "Yes! A pokemon! Sandshrew, I choose you! Give it your scratch!" I said. Sandshrew scratched the caterpie, who then did a Tackle to Sandshrew. "OK, Sandshrew, dig!" Sandshrew dove into the ground like water. Caterpie`s string shot missed, and Sandshrew came plunging from under Caterpie! "OK, Pokeball, go!" I said. My pokeball flew in the air, and landed on Caterpie. The pokeball shook� 1� 2� 3� It stopped. I had caught a Caterpie! I decided to nickname it Flaps, for when it evolves to a Butterfree. |
| I now looked to the water part of the catching course. I saw many Magikarp and Goldeen. Suddenly, I saw a Seel spit out of the water. "Seel seel, seel seel!" said the Seel. I decided to also catch this pokemon. "Alright, Seel, let`s see what you`ve got! Flaps, I choose you! Tackle!" I said. Seel missed when it tried to Head-butt Flaps, and Flaps hit Seel in the stomach. "Alright, Flaps, String Shot!" Flaps created string all around Seel, making it impossible to move. "Flaps, Tackle again!" Flaps hit the Seel like a football, but a short punt. "OK, now, pokeball, go!" I said. The pokeball landed on target and then the pokeball spun. After a while, it stopped spinning. "Yes! I caught a Seel!" I said. Suddenly, Seel`s pokeball teleported. I opened my pokedex and looked up pokeballs. "If you are currently carrying 6 pokemon with you, any other pokemon you catch will be teleported to the professor of the town you got your pokedex." Said Morpheus. That means� Prof. Elm has Seel. |
| I now decided to stop catching and find a match. I switched my Pikachu slot with Seel. In school, at the battle class, I would not get a grade or cash, but I would get experience. I found my rival here. "Hey, Daniel, let`s battle! I see you don`t have your Eevee. So, where`d it go?" said Joe. "He is taking a break." I said. "Let`s just battle." "OK, then, Meowth, go!" said Joe. His Meowth walked ready into battle. "OK, then, Pidgey, I choose you! Give it a Gust!" I called. "Meowth, give it your scratch!" said Joe. "I don`t think it`ll work, but I`ll try!" said Meowth. Meowth kept on missing, and Pidgey kept on blasting Gusts at it. "Grrr� Meowth, give it a Pay Day!" said Joe. "Alright, I`ll give it a try�" said the Meowth. "Pidgey, give it a Quick Attack!" Pidgey quickly dodged the Pay Day, and kept tackling Meowth. "Pidgey, give it your Sand Attack!" "Meowth, now is the time for a Scratch!" "OK�" Meowth finally hit Pidgey. "OK Meowth, now Fury Swipes!" "You FINALLY know my good attack." Said Meowth. "OK, Pidgey, Gust!" Pidgey kept Meowth from landing one attack, and ended up fainting Meowth. "Meowth, come back! Geodude, go! Rock Throw!" said Joe. "Pidgey, Quick Attack!" Geodude`s Rock`s fainted Pidgey in a single blow. "Heh, you need a stronger pokemon!" said Joe. "Shut your trap, Joe, because here comes� Seel, go! Water Gun!" "Geodude, dodge!" Geodude fainted in one shot! "Geodude, come back! Oddish, I choose you! Absorb!" "Seel, give it a Head-butt!" Seel was fainted from the absorption! I also now noticed that a crowd of people was watching. "OK, then, Seel, come back! Flaps, go! String shot!" "Heh, a Caterpie, eh? Oddish, Absorb!" Oddish was completely wrapped in string! "OK, now, Caterpie, tackle!" "Oh no! Oddish, try to break out!" Flaps hit the wrapped Oddish like a football, and made a field goal over Joe`s head! "Oddish, return! That`s it! I`m out of good pokemon. I give." Said, Joe, and he left the school. "Yes! I won! Great job, Seel, Pidgey, Flaps!" I said. Just then, Flaps shot string into the air. "Flaps, what are you doing?" I said. Flaps was making some sort of a fountain, and then Flaps was glowing� Flaps the Caterpie had evolved into Flaps the Metapod! |
| After the battle, Prof. Elm came out and congratulated me. "Good job, Daniel! I hope you do that well in all of your matches! If you keep that sort of training up, you`ll become a great pokemon breeder and a great trainer!" Said Prof. Elm. "Why, thanks, Prof. Elm! I`ll remember that!" I said, and left the school. I checked my pocket watch. It was now 3:00, and I was kind of hungry. I headed to the diner, and got myself a few hamburgers. After the first halve of one of my burgers, I saw Eevee and Pikachu. I sent back Seel for the Pikachu Pokeball. "Hey, Eevee, Pikachu, over here!" I said. Eevee looked up at me, smiled, and jumped on up the seat. Pikachu did the same. I took the watch from Eevee, and I gave them both a hamburger. Pikachu was having a good time. I now decided where my pokemon would go on my quest - Eevee will walk alongside me or in my arms, and Pikachu will ride on my head. |
| I headed home after lunch, and saw what mom gave me - a bicycle! There was a note in the basket. It read, "Daniel, from mom. This is the Trainer Bike, officially from the Pokemon League. It has a basket big enough to carry Eevee, and the back part of it has a case on both sides to hold things. You can put your backpack in there while you ride, and in the other one, who knows what! |
| I decided to give it a test drive. "OK, Eevee, get in the basket. Pikachu, grab tight top my hat. OK, and we are off!" I sped around the city on the bike, and found a good time. My backpack was no hindrance to the speed of the bike, and either were Pikachu or Eevee. We rode all around town, and I gave Pikachu the rest of the tour. I stopped back home, and then felt bad. How can I carry a bike with me over a mountain? Maybe Morpheus would have the answer. "A bicycle, has no attacks or pokemon data." I hit Blue Button #9. "A Bicycle is not a pokemon, yet a trainer can store a bicycle in a Pokeball for safe keeping. However, if there are any items inside of a package on the bike, it will not go in." said Morpheus. I took my backpack out of the case, and I then threw a pokeball at my bike. It just sucked it, like nothing. I put the bike in my pocket. |
| I now went to the pokemon center. I healed all my pokemon, and went back to the catching area. I headed toward the rock area. I saw many Geodude. I soon saw something different� A Paras! "OK, Paras, you are mine! Eevee, go! Tackle!" I said. Eevee hit the Paras, and Paras hit Eevee back with a Scratch. "Eevee, don`t give up! Give it your Take Down!" Eevee sure took down that Paras. So hard that Paras almost fainted. "OK, now, Pokeball, go!" I said. The Pokeball shook� 1� 2� 3� Stopped. I had caught Paras! The pokeball that held Paras teleported to Prof. Elm just then. |
| Meanwhile, at Prof. Elm`s Lab� "Hmm� I wonder what Daniel caught this time." Said Elm. The machine suddenly produced a pokeball, and that ball opened. Out popped Paras. "Ooh, a Paras. I can collect some data from this one�" He said, looking at the pokedex data for Paras. "Paras, the mushroom type pokemon. The two mushrooms on its back feed on the bug host." Said Elm`s pokedex. He then scanned over Paras - and found out a deep secret. |
| Mean while, I was taking a break at the pokemon center. I examined my pokemon list. Let`s see� I have a lv16 Pikachu, a lv20 Eevee, a lv8 Metapod, a lv16 Pidgey, a lv16 Magikarp, and a lv10 Seel. I deposited my lv17 Sandshrew, and you know my Paras, whose level was 12. |
| I now went to the local Gym. I wasn`t experienced enough to battle in the high-level parts, but I was for the Trainer Lounge, who`s pokemon were from levels 1-20. I challenged the first person I met - Charlie. "Hey, you`re the kid who beat me yesterday! I challenge you to another battle! Metapod, I choose you!" said Charlie. "OK, then, Magikarp, go!" I said. "Metapod, Tackle!" "Magikarp, Splash!" Metapod flung itself at Magikarp and missed, while being hit by low-power water. "OK, Metapod, Harden!" "Magikarp, Tackle!" Magikarp pummeled Metapod to Fainting! "Metapod, come back! Kakuna, go! Poison Sting!" "Magikarp, another Tackle!" Magikarp, like to Metapod, pummeled the Kakuna to fainting! "Kakuna, come back! Now for the specialist� Beedrill, I choose you! Poison Sting!" "Magikarp, come back! Flaps, go! String Shot!" Beedrill kept on missing with its large stinger, and Metapod kept on dodging! Finally, Flaps sprayed a thick string all over Beedrill, making it unable to move! "Beedrill, break out with a Fury Attack!" "Flaps, Tackle attack!" Metapod flung itself at Beedrill, and Beedrill fainted. "Wha? Beedrill, return! Well, that was just practice for� Butterfree, come on out! Tackle attack!" "Flaps, come back! Pikachu, give it a Thundershock!" Pikachu jolted the Butterfree into Paralysis in its first match, and it won! "Oh no! I am ruined! Butterfree, come back! Hey, you are a talented trainer! What is you`re name?" asked Charlie. "My name is Daniel. My win/loss rating is 5 and 0. How about you?" I asked. "My win/loss rating is 3 and 2. Both of my losses are to you! Hey, wait a sec - one of your pokeballs are glowing." Said Charlie. I called out the glowing pokeball, and it was� Flaps! Flaps the Metapod had grown to Flaps the Butterfree! I used my pokedex on it. "Butterfree� The Butterfly type pokemon. Emits powerful powders from the tips of it`s wings." Said Morpheus. |
| I then checked my watch. My god, I spent almost all day on that tour! It was already 7:00 P.M.! I quickly called my bike out and rode home. I got home at 7:30, and I quickly set my alarm clock, set most of my pokemon and pokeballs in my backpack, and went to bed. I had had a long day. I was sleepy� Yawn� |
