Chapter Two: Don’t get stung by the Beedrill

 

John was standing before Viridian City; he was ready for the challenges that 
awaited him. He knew that he had to go further. He took slow steps towards 
around the town. First he headed down the path to the pokecenter, he passed many 
people talking about islands being discovered or something but John was focusing 
on the pokecenter. He then was infront of the large red door with a window 
covering the top half. He shoved the door open and inside was what he expected.

 

He saw some trainers chatting with each other, and the subject on the islands 
came up once or twice, also he saw many couches and a large waiting room. Then 
at the counter there was a girl with flaming red hair and two pony tails 
sticking out the side of her head. She had a white cap which most nurses wore, 
and it had a medical sign on it. She had large sapphire blue eyes and a 
beautiful smile. Next to her was a somewhat large pokemon, it was pink and had 
three flaps sticking out the side of it’s head on each side. Also it had a smile 
on its face and a pouch with an egg in it.

 

“Chansssey.” It said joyfully. It then stepped out threw a door behind the 
counter, seconds later it was pushing a gurney. Then the nurse placed a small 
vulpix on it. John aimlessly pulled out his pokedex and pointed it at the 
pokemon which looked badly injured. But before the pokedex could get data the 
gurney was rolled away.

 

“Darn it.” John muttered to himself. John then pulled out his two pokeballs and 
walked forward, he was now at the counter then the nurse said something.

 

“Hello, welcome to the pokecenter, I’m Nurse Joy. Do you need your pokemon 
healed?” She said kindly. John shook his head up and down. She then took the 
pokeballs and placed them on a small machine. 

 

“Here are your pokemon.” She said while handing the pokeballs to John. John 
wasn’t even concentrating on her, he was listening to a conversation of five or 
six people sitting on a couch.

 

“Mr. HERE are your pokemon.” She said louder. John rolled his eyes to the nurse 
and took the pokeballs.

 

“Thanks!” John said, and then walked to a couch next to the people talking. He 
then started listening to their conversation.

 

“I hear that they’ve discovered another island! That’s two!” One boy yelled.

 

“Nah, I heard they found three.” A boy said, obviously lying as all of the 
people around him rolled their eyes.

 

“Well, I heard on the second island they found some rare artifacts. And even a 
newly discovered pokemon!” A girl said excitedly.

 

“Yah right! Lier!” One boy said. The girl then argued with him, back and fourth 
then a tall tough looking boy said something while pointing at John.

 

“Hey! He’s eavesdropping! Let’s show him what happens to people when they listen 
to other people’s conversations.” He said while pounding his fists together.

 

“No, he looks young. You’ll totally kill him Mike.” A girl said.

 

“Ok, but next time he’s gonna get it.” Supposedly the guy named Mike said 
angrily. 

 

John jumped off the couch and ran off in fright. He flew through the door and 
was now panting.

 

“Swew, that was close.” John muttered. He walked away, then down a path through 
where he always went. Some guy walked up to him and said he could tutor John on 
how to catch pokemon. But John replied with a strong no. 

 

He already knew where to go, for he had been to Pewter City and Viridian City 
many times. He now saw a sign that read ‘Viridian Forest’ John smiled and walked 
forward. He now was at the edge of the very large forest. He looked around left 
then right; he saw tall grass, trees, and some trainers. Not much more. He 
walked forward not knowing what was there, he ran into something, or someone.

 

“Hey! Watch who you walk into! Er… For that I’m gonna kill you in battle!” A 
trainer with a green t-shirt, brown casual pants, and dark brown hair yelled 
angrily. John could only smirk.

 

“Ok, Pidgey! Show ‘em what you can do!” John yelled while throwing a pokeball. 
It hit the ground and a bird pokemon formed from the red flash. The other boy 
threw a pokeball also a small purple rat appeared. It had a white stomach, ruby 
red eyes, buckteeth and a tail with a curl at the end. Also it had two pointed 
whiskers one on each side of the head.

 

“Ratta!” It squeaked loudly. John pointed his pokedex at the small rat.

 

Rattata is a very cautious pokemon. It eats a variety of food, it isn’t picky 
about much. It is so cautious that it actually listens to sounds while it’s 
asleep.  It also gnaws on anything it can find, and is extremely dangerous when 
provoked. John smirked.

 

“Ok pidgey, knock it down with a gust attack!” John yelled. The small bird moved 
it’s wings pacing itself, getting faster as every flap passed. The small rattata 
was sent flying back two feet, but it didn’t give up.

 

“Rattata! Knock the puny thing out with a tackle!” The trainer commanded. The 
rat ran towards pidgey and rammed it on its side. Pidgey cawed but still hung in 
their.

 

“Pidgey! Don’t give up! Hit it hard with a wing attack.” John yelled even 
louder. The small pidgey then shot forward to rattata then smacked it with it’s 
wing. Rattata was sent flying, and hit a tree.

 

“Ratta!” It cried.

 

“Don’t give up!” The trainer yelled, while sobbing. “Hit it again with a 
tackle!” He yelled once again. It slowly ran toward pidgey and leaped at pidgey, 
pidgey dodged it. As rattata was weak, it hit the ground and collapsed.

 

“No! Rattata!” The trainer yelled, and then walked forward to John. “Good Job, 
you deserved to win.” He said while shaking John’s hand. John smiled then walked 
away.

 

He walked to the right, he looked forward and on a tree he noticed hives. A 
cocoons, these cocoons looked like pokemon. So John pointed the pokedex at them 
in curiosity. 

 

Kakuna is immobile while in its evolutional stage. Though it can not move it can 
shoot poison at the opponent. Though all of this, inside it is growing into a 
stronger pokemon. After the process is complete it evolves into Beedrill.

 

“Eh… This sounds like a weak pokemon. No worry.” John muttered. But in spite of 
John muttering, one of the kakuna’s flared open. Then a large white flash arose 
from one cocoon, then another then all of the cocoons had hatched.  John rubbed 
his eyes and then opened them. He was now staring at dozens of pokemon. They 
looked like large bees, they had two large bug like red eyes. And yellow and 
black stripes on its stinger. It had two large pointed sword like stingers on 
its arms. It had two antennas sticking out of its head and two large wings .John 
pointed his pokedex in awe. 

 

Beedril is very territorial, it will protect is’s territory at all costs. It 
flies at high speeds, and attacks it’s prey with three large stingers, two of 
which are on it’s arms, and one on it’s rear.

 

John looked frightened and yelled something. “T-time t-t-o… RUN!” John yelled. 
John paced backwards and ran as fast as his legs could carry him. Through he was 
running fast, the beedrill were still gaining on him.

 

“HELP!” John screamed loudly. He then saw someone pop out of a log cabin. He 
threw atleast five pokeballs and all of which were pidgey. He smiled and waved 
at John, John knew this person was waving at him to come inside. John took the 
offer; obviously. John ran even faster and stumbled on a rock, he fell face 
first but was sent back up by a large gust of wind. John smiled then started to 
leap toward the cabin, he didn’t know what to do. He knew that he couldn’t make 
it to the cabin, the beedrill were to fast. Then as if someone saved his life 
the pidgey swarmed over John and started flapping there wings quickly. Most of 
the beedrill were slowing down by the harsh winds. John finally reached the 
cabin with the beedrill trailing, the pidgey were right behind John also. John 
flew threw the door as so did the pidgey and shut the door.

 

Atleast thirty or more stingers were jabbed into the door. John was now panting 
and sweating, he collapsed on the floor.

 

“Eh… When the beedrill leave you’re going to have to leave you know…” The boy 
said quietly. He was wearing a tan sweat shirt, blue jeans, a hat that looked 
bug-proof. He had black hair flowing down the hat, and ocean blue eyes. John 
smiled.

 

“Yah.” John replied. The boy then reached his hand toward John, he grasped his 
hand and lifted him up.

 

“Thanks a lot, and what’s your name?” John asked curiously. 

 

“I’m Donio. Actually, it’s getting dark and well you could stay the night if you 
wanted.” Donio said politely.

 

“Sure.” John replied quickly. 

 

Donio walked toward the small window and gazed outside, he yawned.

 

“Well, I’m going to bed, don’t know about you though.” Donio said while pulling 
out a red sleeping bag and placing it on the wooden floor. John yawned also he 
then sat down on the bare floor, then leaned against the wall and fell asleep.
