POKÉMON!!!

By Jackson Clarke (Jacko)

Part 1: The Big Journey

One fine Monday I woke up and put on my new official Pokémon League hat that I had to send in millions of postcards to get & went on my PC to get out my potion that I had saved for the day I went on my Pokémon journey, & today was the day.

I came downstairs with my wallet that had $3000 in it I had a whole packet full of Corn flakes ready for the big journey. The clock gonged 8 times "Oh no,"I said "I'm late I was supposed to be there at 7:00" I raced out without saying goodbye to my mum & went to Professer Oak & Gary had already taken off with Bulbasaur. After a long think I decided to choose the Pikachu in the middle, Professor Oak commented "this Pokémon has a little problem with people." I replied "It's alright I can train him." "If you're sure you can handle him," said Professor Oak "I'm sure," I answered & I got him out of the pokéball and held him in my hands. I said "He looks a bit weird" Pikachu said "Pika....Pikachuuuuu" & he thundershocked me "That hurt Pikachu" "Pika!!"replied Pikachu!!!" "Good luck Ash!"waved Professor Oak, "Look for my aids" "I will" I answered.

Professor Oak equiped me & Gary with 6 pokéballs each so we could catch pokémon and as soon as I went into the grass I saw a Rattata I sent out Pikachu!! "Pikachu thundershock" I said he used it and the Rattata fainted. What's happening I said to myself Pikachu grew a little bigger. A stranger in another part of the grass said "The Pikachu is growing a level" "Wait who are you " I replied but he had disappeared. I made my way to Viridian City and wow was it amazing, the Pokémon Centre was so big & when we went inside there was a nice lady called Nurse Joy that healed pok\'e9mon for free!I told them to heal my Pokémon, Pikachu. they did.I walked along until I came to this little shop called the Pokémart I went inside & someone asked me if I came from Pallet Town. I said "Yes,....I..I..I do" "Will you deliver this to professor Oak??" she replied "I'll try" I answered."Good" she said & gave me the parcel.

I adventured through the grass looking for Pokémon & saw a Pidgey "Go Pikachu" I said encouragingly I said "Leer now" it had put it's defense down. It used the move gust on me and Pikachu but Pikachu faught back with a thundershock, the pidgey had fainted once again! Me & Pikachu gave a high five to each other & from then on Pikachu always walked with me instead of travelling in a pokéball all his life, so I had one more pokéball!! I delivered the parcel to Professor Oak & he said "Oh, this is the custom pokéball I ordered. Thanks Ash" I heard a distant voice "Hey Gramps what's up" It was Gary "Oh,Gary"said Professor Oak"I invited you over to see my new invention Pokédex. To make a complete encyclopedia on pokémon was my dream, but I'm too old so I want you two to do it for me."I'm sorry to say but I don't need you" I said "Fine" replied Gary "I'll do it by myself then." "Smell ya' later" I said.

I set off & I saw a Rattata straight away my pokédex said Rattata, a rat Pokémon that is a common site in many places." I yelled thundershock Pikachu, he did, then I threw a pokéball at it ,bulge,bulge,bulge "Yes!!!! I caught my first Pokémon!!" I yelled.I was bursting out with joy "My first Pokémon!!" I said to myself. It is going to be tough being a Pokémon trainer. I was roaming around more around the area where I caught Rattata to raise my Pikachu & Rattata. I went on towards the Viridian Forest with my two Pok\'e9mon Pikachu & Rattata. I saw a trainer & talked to him, he said "You've got Pokémon, lets fight!!!"I said "Go Pikachu" he sent out Weedle My pokédex said "A bug type Pokémon with a point on it's head to inject poison. The Weedle got first move it used, String Shot "Oh no Pikachu, are you alright???" I asked "Pika, Pikachuuu" he replied "Pikachu return," I said "Go Rattata!!" The Weedle used String Shot again "That's not going to hurt my fresh new Pokémon Rattata, Quick Attack" I Yelled. "Critical Hit," the trainer yelled "DAMN!!!" The Weedle fainted "Go Caterpie" he yelled, my pokédex said "Caterpie, a bug type pok\'e9mon that evolves into Metapod then Butterfree. "Use tackle" I explained to Rattata. It injured him but not much. It used Poison Sting on me "Rattatat" Rattata said in a low voice. "Leer" I said but Rattata ignored me & used Quick Attack instead. It killed the Caterpie, "Lost again" said the trainer. "Bad luck" I said to him.

I raced through the Forest with my injured Pikachu to get to the Pokécentre, I finally got there. "Hi I'm Nurse Joy" someone said "But....Bu----" Nurse Joy butted in "Oh Give that Pikachu and Pokéball (With Rattata written on it) to me they both look injured.I collected my Pokémon & Ran through the door. I collided with a teenage girl (About my age) riding on her bicycle. "You wrecked my Bicycle" she said "Sorry" I answered,"I'll replace it." "It cost me $100,000 & sorry isn't good enough. "Later" I said. "I hope so" she said, "What's your name??" "Ash....um.......Ash Ketchum." I replied, "What's your's??" "Misty" Misty replied while picking up her bike & looking at it."Have you got any Pokémon??" I questioned. "Yeah, two, Staryu & Starmie."Misty replied, "Have you??" "Yeah two, Pikachu here-----" Pikachu interupted "Pika!!" "----& my Rattata in this pokéball." "Cool," Misty said, "Have you thought about versing Brock??" "Who is he?" I replied. "He is the first out of eight Pokémasters that you have to beat to get to Pokémon League" Misty answered. "Oh," I said "What type of Pokémon does he have??" "Rock type Pokémon" Misty said "Very strong, but weak against water type Pokémon." "Staryu," said my pokédex "a water type Pokémon with crystal in the middle of it to use moves like Bubblebeam." "Water type, it could-----" "Starmie, a water type Pokémon that evolves from Staryu." My pokédex interrupted "----uh...beat Brock's Pokémon very easily" I said, "How did you get it??" "Oh, by good rod," she answered "If you want to borrow it you can" "Okay" I replied."Come with me I know a spot where we can fish to get a water-type Pokémon." "Pika.." Pikachu said.

"Here we are" Misty said, "The place where you can fish for water-type Pok\'e9mon. Here is the good rod" I sat down at the water's edge with my......errr......Misty's good rod & I talked to her for a while but just then a bite came "Reel it in" said Misty "I am, I am." I replied. It was a Poliwag & it attacked "Go, Rattata" I said."Rattata Quick attack" I said. "Pokéball" I shouted while I threw the pokéball at the Poliwag. Bulge,bulge,bulge. "Yes" I shouted "I got a Poliwag to beat Brock!!" Misty showed me where the Pokémon Centre was here because I needed to heal my Pokémon a bit before I beat Brock, the Pokémaster!! Misty also showed me where his gym was to 18 vs. him. I walked inside with Misty, "Wow" I said to myself. "Have you come to fight??" said a dark figure on the other side of the gym. "Uh.....yes" I replied "My name is Brock, let's get it on" Brock said!! "Go, Onix" Brock yelled "Go, Poliwag" I shouted with a little giggle thinking what a funny name it was!!!"Onix, a Rock type Pokémon that is weak against water" my pokédex said. "Onix, Bind!!" "Poliwag, Water Gun" "DAMN, it's Super effective against my Onix" Brock said to himself, "Onix, Rock Throw" "Poliwag use Bubble" "DAMN you made my Onix faint, here you deserve the Boulder badge!!" "Wooooo Hooooooo!!!" I yelled happily. "Hey, when did you start training Pokémon?" Brock asked "Oh...about 7 hours ago, I'm on a Pokémon journey" "7 Hours an you beat me!?!?" Brock gasped unbeleivingly!!! "Hey, when two people beat me I have to leave this gym & two people already have" "Who was the other person who beat you lastime??"I asked "Oh some guy named Gary." Brock answered. "Gary, he's my rival."I gasped sadly. "Oh.......can I maybe go on your Pokémon journey with you because in this gym was my home. So PLEASE?? " He pleaded "OK." I answered. "YES" Brock yelled!! "I just need somewhere to go because I..............well,......have nowhere to go!!" "That's alright" I have room." I said "....& I'm gonna' follow you until you give me the money for MY bicycle!!!" Misty Complained!!!
