Title: Chapter 1: Kanto Journey
Pen name: Bird1111
Part: 1
Richie was exited, today was the day he would get his first pokemon, he
already knew what he would get, Charmander, all the males on his dad's side
had gotten that. In fact, all the oldest males on his dad's side of the
family had been the world's greatest flying type master. He went to
Professor Oak and asked for Charmander, got it, then went to Route 1 to
look for some flying type pokemon to accompany Charmander.
Summary of Kanto Journey: This chapter of my fanfic talks about Richie's
beggining of his journey to be the best flying type trainer.

Chapter 2: The first battle: A few minutes after I left Professor Oak's
lab, my mean next-door neighbor, Otto, came running out of the lab and
challenged me.  I threw out my Charmander, he threw out his Squritle, and
then the battle began.  The battle was Richie's Charmander vs. Otto's
Squirtle.  My Charmander started with scratch and Squirtle was hit hard
with the attack, then Otto's Squirtle used tackle, which hit Charmander
hard, but not as hard as the scratch hurt Squirtle.  Charmander used
another Scratch, which seemed to work better then the last time and even
knocked out Squirtle.

Chapter 3: Who's Taylor:  After beating that nasty Otto, Richie went back
home and rested for a few hours, with his Charmander.  After their nice
long nap, Richie went onto Route one, and crashed into a trainer, who said
his name was Taylor.  They did a 1 on 1 battle with Charmander vs.
Squirtle.  Squirtle started with a tackle and Charmander used scratch,
another tackle by Squirtle knocked out Charmander.  Richie asked Taylor if
he wanted to join his journey and Taylor accepted so, the two trainers
continued on their journey now together.  (Richie is trying to assume his
fathers role by being the world's greatest flying type trainer while Taylor
is trying to assume his dad's role and be the best water type trainer).

Chapter 4: The first capture: After the battle, Richie and Taylor moved on
to Vidrian City, and they went to the pokemon center and healed their
pokemon.  After going to the pokemon center, the 2 went to the pokemart
where Richie bought 5 pokeballs (note, Taylor already had 5 pokeballs one
of which he used to catch a Staryu, which he found by using a Super Rod he
was given by his Grandfather.)  Then they went back to route 1 for a few
minutes so Richie could catch a Pidgey.  After searching for a few minutes,
Richie found a wild Pidgey (level 4), and sent out his Charmander (level 6,
after beating Otto's Squirtle).  Charmander started with a scratch, while
the Pidgey tackled Charmander, another scratch by Charmander was
immediately followed by another tackle by Pidgey.  One more scratch by
Charmander and another tackle by the wild Pidgey, and the Pidgey was weak
enough for Richie to capture.  Then Richie threw a pokeball and it shook,
once, twice, three times, and Pidgey was caught!  After Richie's capture,
Richie and Taylor visited the Pokemon Center in Vidrian one last time,
Richie healing his Pidgey, while he was waiting Richie asked what other
pokemon Taylor had besides his Squirtle.  Taylor replied that "before he
left home his grandfather had given him a super rod, and after healing here
a good bit before facing Richie, and after healing but before facing Richie
he had bought some pokeballs and gone out to fish and had gotten a Staryu
on the hook.  He had Squirtle face it and after 5 tackles each.  Taylor
threw a pokeball at it and caught it, and then he had healed then faced
Richie".  Once Taylor was done talking and Richie's Pidgey was healed, the
group continued onto Vidrian Forest.

Chapter 5: Viderian Forest: Richie and Taylor were walking down Vidiran
Forest, and they were about mid way through, when they got jumped by a
scouting patrol of 4 Beedril, so it was Pidgey, Charmander, Squirtle and
Staryu vs. 4 Beedril.  All the Beedril ganged up on Pidgey and K.O'ed by it
but they were easy targets for an ember by Charmander.  This knocked out
all of the Beedril except for one, which got angry and used a fury attack
on Charmander.  Since it had used 2 moves in 1 round so it was exhausted,
and the fact that 2 tackle attacks were by Squirtle and Staryu did not help
it any either, in fact it was a knockout!  They went back to heal
Pidgey.  After Pidgey was healed, they went back into the forest, where
Richie and his Pidgey beat 12 Weedles (level 2) to grow from level 4 to
level 7 then Richie's Charmander and Taylor's Staryu trained against 6
(level 2) Weedles each to grow from level 6 to level 7.  Then they went
back to heal their pokemon again, once Nurse Joy was done with their
pokemon they continued on this time going deeper into the forest, they were
almost to Pewter when 2 Bug Keeper's challenged them to a twin battle (note
all pokemon in this battle are level 7): Silcoon and Cascoon vs. Charmander
and Squirtle.  Charmander fried Silcoon with an ember taking it out of the
match, and Squirtle nearly got Cascoon in one hit with a tackle, while
Cascoon used a poison sting on Charmander, which did not affect it
much.  Charmander finished it with an Ember and both Charmander and
Squirtle grew to level 8.  Right before exiting the forest, Richie and
Taylor both trained their other pokemon (Pidgey for Richie and Staryu for
Taylor), against 18 Caterpies/Weedles (level 2), so they both went from
level 7 to level 8.  Once they finished that, they moved on to Pewter.

Chapter 6: Richie and Taylor arrived at Pewter and went straight to the
pokemon center to heal, then Richie went to the pokemart to buy some
potions (they both got 10,000 from their own granddad), when he saw they
were 300 poke yen, he decided to go ahead and buy 10 of them so he would
have enough for Flint.  So now, Richie has 6,500 poke money left.


Once Richie was done shopping they went to challenge the gym leader, Richie
went first and asked for a 1 on 1 battle, Flint accepted and threw out a
Onix, after hearing Flint's choice, Richie decided to call on Pidgey.  Even
with its level disadvantage Richie's Pidgey still had speed advantage and
used sand attack, which blinded Onix and that, caused Onix to miss on a
rock throw.  Then another sand attack made Onix even more blind and it
started to bide, and for the next 2 turns Pidgey continued with sand attack
so by the time Onix stopped biding its accuracy was nearly as low as it
could go, Flint desperately tried to rock throw.  Missed, and Pidgey used a
gust which Onix did not notice with its ears catching the rock snake off
guard and giving the match to Richie.  Pidgey's level shot up to 9 and it
was half way to growing another level.  Also Richie got 1000 poke yen
brining up his total to 7,500, Richie also received the Bolder Badge and
the T.M for Bide.

Then it was a 2 on 2 match for Taylor after Flint healed, with all the
pokemon on at the same time.  It was Squirtle and Staryu vs. Onix and
Geodude.  A bubble by Squirtle and a Water Gun by Staryu started the match,
both aimed at Geodude, which could not take its ultimate weakness and went
down.  Flint used a Bide, but 2 water guns and 2 bubbles were too much for
Onix, giving the victory to Taylor.  Therefore, he got 1000 Poke Yen,
brining up his total to 10,050, the Bolder Badge, and the T.M. for Bide.

Just before leaving Pewter, the group went to the pokemon center to heal
and Taylor decided to follow Richie's example by buying 10 potions, so his
total Poke Yen is 7,050.
