"To protect the world from devastation"

"To rid the world of truth and love"

"Scott!" "Katie"

"We are team rocket, prepare to fight"

"That motto was the dumbest thing I’ve heard other than Brad’s jokes!" I said.

"We" said Katie "Don’t" said Scott "Care" said Katie. "All we want is your pokemon"

"Go Milktank" she shouted, releasing a miltank. The fat pokemon let out an ear-splitting screech. "Let me handle this" said Karen. "GO! Umbra!" she yelled, releasing her Umbreon.

"Umbra, faint-attack!"

"Milktank! Rollout!"

But Umbra was too fast for Milktank. Milktank fainted with one move. "You’ll pay for this" said Katie " Go! Dratini!" It was my turn to battle. "Go! Europa!"

"Dratini! Thunder wave!" "Drrrrrrrriiiiii" said Dratini and came running towards me. At first, I thought it was using thunder wave on me, but it just jumped in the air, touched one of my pokeballs and went in. "Okay. You can come with me! Thanks for asking!" I said sarcastically "Hey! Give me back Artemis!" Katie cried. " Europa, water gun them!" I said to my Lapras. Europa’s water gun was SOOOO powerful, it actually learnt ice-beam!! "Team rockets lifting off again……." They shouted, running away. I watched them disappear at the horizon. It was then that it caught my eye: A gigantic shadow of a bird, bigger than the one in my dream (Was it a dream?).

"What’s the matter?" asked Brad, seeing the puzzled look on my face.

"What’s it to you?? Mind your own business!"

"Fine!" Brad said "Fine! And I want ‘Poseidon’ back"

"Here take it!" I said throwing the pokeball so hard, Poseidon came out of it. As usual, it clung on to its favorite spot: My legs. "I get the feeling that Poseidon does not like Brad that much" said Karen. " Whatever you say Karen!" said Brad, drooling over her "let Julius have Poseidon" I had a feeling that Karen was thoroughly enjoying two boys fight over her. We walked on to Cerulean.

" This cape is great!" said Karen. We were at the Cerulean cape. "It’s SOOO romantic"’ she said, dipping those marvelous legs in the water. Brad was sulking over the fact that on the way to Cerulean, he had managed to capture only one electric pokemon: Voltorb, which he had nick-named Electo. Karen had captured a Shellder (Shelly) and an Teddiursa (Bearness). She had the following pokemon so far: Umbra, Shelly, Bearness, Tyrant (Pupitar) and Diamond (Espeon). She was planning to catch a houndour near Celadon. So far, I had Europa, Artemis (Dratini) and Poseidon and Brad had the same as he had before expect his Electo. I was lost in thoughts about the shadow I had seen and the dream(?). And then it hit me like a snorlax falling on a caterpie from a 2000 feet high cliff: PROFFESOR OAK!!! " Guys! I’ll be back" I said and rushed to the pokemon center as fast as I could.

"Hello, Julius! What’s up?" said Prof. Oak. I was at the Cerulean pokemon center.

"Professor, I wanted to ask you something. Is there a pokemon that looks like a gigantic raven with a crown on its head?" I asked.

"There’s Murkrow, but I don’t know if you’d call it gigantic" said Professor Oak. "Why do you ask?"

"Well, I had this dream yesterday, but it was so realistic. There was this raven-like bird and this golden bird and this boy… The birds let out a huge outburst of energy and there was an explosion and a scream and I woke up…" I said sounding stupid. Honestly, it was just a dream! But the shadow… was that my imagination???

" Well, I don’t know about the pokemon, but there are drawings on a cave in Johto and they seem to symbolize two birds. Its probably just graffiti though." He said. Rring..rring.. The phone was ringing in Proffesor Oak’s office (the normal phone. Not the video-phone). "Well I got to go and answer the phone. Call you later. Bye!" He hung up.

The pokemon center’s door opened and in came Karen and Brad. "What were you in such a hurry for?" asked Karen. "Oh nothing" I lied. I did not want Karen to think that I was stupid. "Want to go and earn that Cascade badge?"

" I choose Diamond!" Karen yelled. We were at the Cerulean gym and Karen was in a one -on -one battle with Rainer, the new Cerulean gym leader. The old gym leader, Daisy, had left the gym to conquer her life dream of becoming a competitive water ballerina. "Gooooooooooo, Gyrados!" Rainer shouted.

"Diamond! Psybeam" yelled Karen.

" Gyrados!" yelled Rainer and the psychic attack just bounced of.

"Gyrados! Hyper beam! Now!!"

"GGGGGYYYYSSSSHHHAAAA" shouted the ugly thing and unleashed a huge amount of energy from its mouth. The beam was about to hit Diamond, but Karen was as calm as the sea before a storm. "Diamond! Mirror coat!" she yelled. Mirror coat??? An espeon??? Diamond’s body glowed a bright silver and as soon as the hyper beam hit her, It got reflected back and hit Gyrados. Gyrados still ad a little energy left. "Diamond! Psychic!" Karen said and the Gyrados fainted.

"Gyrados! Return!" said Rainer. "Good job. Here is the cascade badge." He handed Karen a Cerulean blue badge shaped like a tear drop. Karen pinned it to her jacket and said thank you and watched the next opponent battle: Brad. " This is gonna be easy!" said Brad "Electo is going to fry your water pokemon."

"That’s what you think!" said Rainer. "Go! Quagmire!" Out of the pokeball came a Quagsire, a light-blue pokemon with a rather dumb smile on its face… dumb but cute.

"GO! Electo!" Brad yelled

"This will be a two on two battle, no time limit" said Rainer. "Fine with me!" said Brad

"Start!" said Rainer " Quagmire, slam!" Quagmire jumped up in the air, and hurtled towards Electo at top speed.

"Electo! Swift" Electo unleashed millions of tiny stars at Quagmire. The stars hit Quagmire and caused very little damage, but it stopped the slam attack. "Quagmire! Dig!" Rainer said and the Quagsire went underground. All Brad could do was wait. Suddenly there was a low and faint rumble that grew bigger and bigger and WHAM!!! Quagmire had hit Electo at top speed. "Voltorb" Electo said in its techno- voice and fainted. "Fuck!" said Brad. "Go! Psy!" Natu came out.

"Quagmire! Water gun!" said Rainer

"Psy! Teleport!" Brad yelled. Psy vanished and reappeared at one of the platforms in the pool. Quagmire’s attack missed. " Psy! Finish Quagmire off with confusion!" said Brad. The psychic attack hit Quagmire right at the middle of its body and Quagmire fainted. " Fucking Shit!" shouted Rainer " You are my last hope! GO! Horner!" He had released a Dewgong. "DEEWWWgonggonggong" it shouted in its silly voice. "This is gonna be SO easy!" said Brad. He obviously did not know that Dewgongs were part Ice-types and birds were weak to ice. "Horner! Aurora Beam!" yelled Rainer. "Psy! Counter with psy beam!" said Brad. Natu released a purplish black energy beam while Dewgong released a rainbow-coloured energy beam. The beams collided in the air and there was an explosion. A small one. Not HUGE. Dewgong fainted.
