The First Champion (Robby's quest part 2) I'd like to start this one off with a personal favorite word of mine Friendship such a beautiful thing but what is life's true actual meaning for friendship, dictionaries define it as the mutual liking respect for another human being. Well call me old fashioned but I prefer to think of things in my won words friends to me are one Earth's greatest gifts the ability to just talk to someone, have fun laugh cry happy sad mad just another life to hear your thoughts. I myself love each and every one of my friends with all my heart never take, them for granted either as long as there here for me I'll be there for them. And this is how the creation of love and unity grows on from our last story the young promising boy Robby Maximillion has traveled off on a quest, to become a Pokemon master is his dream and so far things have gone good. Now with 4 Pokemon and meeting a new friend Jade so far so good it hope they stay that way for Robby will meet more wilder things then Pokemon, I dedicate this story to my friends Jade Panda and Wendy love ya all guys. "Pokeball go" Robby called tossing the Pokeball from his hand the stunned Butterfree shrieked as it was absorbed into the ball shaking once twice gone, "Yeah a I got Butterfree" Robby cried happily holding up his new Pokeball. "Are you gonna have a spaz attack over everything you catch?" Jade replied Robby sneered back "Are you ever gonna thaw out?" "Hey watch it buddy", Robby smiled placing his Pokeball on his belt checking up on his road map. Jade walked up to him looking at him firmly "Look I'm only along cause you beat me in an unfair match I promised you so that's why I'm here", Robby grinned looking at her "Is that all?" she blushed nervously "Uh yes". Grinning still Robby pointed at her cheeks "Then why are you blushing you could leave if you want I won't hold you back" Jade was totally speechless, Jade sighed and confessed "Okay fine truth is it sounds fun traveling al right. It was getting lonely on my quest too so I'm glad I got a friend to talk to and that's the truth" Robby smirked a bit "That all?" Jade grabbed then his neck, collar growling angrily at his face "Yes and if you ask me one more time. I'll stuff you into a Pokeball and give you to a bum so he can talk you to death" Robby gulped sweating "Good p-point sorry" Jade released him, "Its okay sorry I didn't mean to get really angry so where are we?" "Let's see. We have been walking for a while now and were almost out of the forest just ahead there should be a fork in the road both paths lead to Viridian City", walking on a little further like it said they found a fork between 2 new paths. On the right a rocky mountain trail filled with rocks hills slides and on the left another flowery area with another small forest on a much longer looking, road both scratched their heads "Looks like we have to choose which path". Robby spoke Jade looked at both deciding which one to pick "I say left" Robby stopped her "Wait I think we ought to pick right" both looked oddly, at one another and argued which way to go left or right each with reasons. "Robby I don't want to fight again the left road looks nicer and is much safer the map says so" Robby showed her the map "Even if my way is harder, it says here left side is way longer but safer and the right is harder but quick". Finally thinking of a way to decide it Bulbasaur stuck his snout in Robby's pocket pulling out a quarter "Bulbasaur saur Bulba-Robby here flip for it", taking the coin Robby grinned a little petting Bulbasaur "Thanks buddy. Deal then flip a coin if its heads we go right if its tails we go left deal?" Jade nodded "Deal" Robby flipped the coin it flew spiraling high up into the air, Robby and Jade watched it finally Robby caught it in his hand closing it. Then slowly but surely he opened his palm and Jade gasped "Oh man" the coin was on heads Robby gave her the coin and ran off onto the rocky trail, Jade looked at the coin and then suddenly growled turning red with anger. "HEY wait a second that jerk this is a phony coin" looking at it had heads on both sides a trick coin Bulbasaur laughed as he quickly ran after his master, Jade ran after them yelling and calling at Robby already way ahead of her. Once turning back Robby bit his lip seeing how mad Jade was knowing what happened once she shoved the fake coin in his face "Heads huh it's a trick", "Yeah ha, ha well who knew?" before Jade could scowl more at Robby. Bulbasaur began to yell and shout frantically "Bulbasaur bulba Bulbasaur saur" both looked at the Pokemon worried "You're his master what's, he saying?" Robby listened as Bulbasaur continued "The floor is cracking". Before the ground began to crack beneath them Robby and Jade looked at each other petrified with fear as they whispered in terror "Cracking? AHH", suddenly the ground gave out they fell screaming spinning down the hole. Blackness surrounded the area hours seemed to pass by when it has been mere minutes finally the 2 awoke looking at the dark cave they were inside, "Man what a slitting headache where are we?" Robby asked looking about. "I don't know but I'd say were stuck down here huh OUCH" Jade suddenly screamed she looked at her legs down by her ankle a huge gash cut badly, black from bruises and red from small blood drops Robby gasped "Jade". "Its nothing just a …owe scratch" Robby ran to her and quickly took off her left shoe and sock laying her back gently toward the wall looking at the cut, "This is serious must have cut open on a rock when we fell down luckily. I got some medical supplies in case anything like this ever happened Jade", pulling out his pack he searched threw it as Bulbasaur awoke slowly too. Jade watched them pull out a first aid kit she tried moving "No its okay I can walk oh Owe" Robby gently held her hands "Stay put don't move a muscle, Bulbasaur and I will take care of you I chose this path if it wasn't for me. You wouldn't have gotten hurt so let me fix it" Jade smiled and nodded Robby went back to his bag pulling out cloths some treatment medicine, and wrapping bandages Bulbasaur smiled and carried them to Jade's cut leg. "All right now Jade I know this will sting like a Beedrill but it'll only hurt for a second" taking out a small water canteen he poured ice cold water, onto the cloths then gently wrapped the cold cloths around her cut leg the pain. Shot like a bullet Jade bit her lip closing her eyes tightly awaiting the pain to end it soon did Robby treated it all with medicine and tightly wrapped up, the bandages Jade smiled as Robby hunched her up onto his left shoulder. "Thanks so much Robby but don't hurt yourself I can bare and walk this" "No way and no trouble at all it was my fault for getting you hurt I picked, this path my fault I promise with all my heart no one or thing will hurt you". Jade blushed happily admiring how much Robby cared for her with Bulbasaur right behind Robby Jade and Bulbasaur traveled into the cave, seconds became minutes, minutes became hours time seemed super slow. Dragging slacking on and on the 2 trainers were exhausted physically and mentally Robby was panting in a deep warm exhaustion of sweat and heat, "Jade how you holding AH" Robby gasped looking at Jade's gentle face. No longer was it the happy sweet face with pink cheeks it was pale dark and, dead like "Jade man Bulbasaur we gotta help Jade she's paler then a corpse. You have to wake her up if I stop she could get hurt or worse do anything" Bulbasaur sweated nervously trying to think of what to do until he got it, he looked at Jade's foot and he walked over to it then very oddly he licked it. At first she had no response but Bulbasaur continued licking up and down her bare foot slowly she started to giggle Robby nodded "Yes keep it up", Bulbasaur lashed out his tongue licking her foot top to bottom very gently. Jade started to laugh more and more finally she went red with laughing as Bulbasaur licked her wiggling toes Jade was bursting red with laughter, finally speaking "Please not the toes ha, ha cheaters ha, ha, ha not the toes". Bulbasaur stopped Robby smiled with joy as he looked back at Jade looking happy and healthy again "Jade thank god your all right how do you feel?", Jade shook off the laughter "I little hot but great what exactly happened?". Robby grinned winking his eye at Bulbasaur answering Jade with a grin "Well let's say we licked your sickness away" Robby laughed Jade happy, to be alive laughed herself not fully understand but at least happy anyways. Suddenly Robby felt a slight bump on his back he said to Jade "I'm happy to help jade but please don't kick my back" Jade looked at him oddly "What, do you mean I never kicked your back" Robby then himself turned pale. Looking down at Bulbasaur he saw him right next to him knowing he didn't kick him Jade asked Robby what was wrong "Uh if you d-d-didn't kick me, then w-w-w-ho did?" gulping along Jade and Robby turned back. Afraid to see what's behind but needing to know nonetheless their eyes suddenly, widened their hearts sank Bulbasaur could only utter back "Saur-uh oh?". Right behind them a huge lizard like monster hissed its huge orange scaled feet crushed the rocks beneath him snake like skin was thicker then stone, a head like a komodo dragon its green eyes stared at the two terrified trainers. Whipping its spiked tail with a small row of green spikes on its back below a soft skinned reptilian belly the monster shined its rare golden horns above, then roared baring its huge ferocious teeth Robby and Jade screamed madly. "RUN" Robby ran like the wind Bulbasaur held onto Jade as she held onto Robby running and running with the dark monster quickly catching up, as they ran Bulbasaur cheered for joy "Bulba-look" ahead blinding white light. "Yes were gonna make it WAH" Robby shouted he tripped on a large rock Jade and Bulbasaur toppled to the floor Robby rolled back twitching in pain, "Jade Bulbasaur are you okay?" "I think so" Jade replied Bulbasaur nodded. The monster cried to them "Zeerax, Zeerax" Robby looked at it closely thinking it was a Pokemon he checked his Pokedex with it but it was blank, no file no info on this new Pokemon "I got good news and bad news". "What's the good news?" Jade asked "He's a new Pokemon and judging by his appearance in this cave he's a very rare one" Jade nervously asked "And, the bad news?" "I have no info on him at all" Bulbasaur suddenly flew back. Smashing his head against the wall Robby held him worried for his Pokemon seeing the self named creature Zeerax had tail slammed Bulbasaur, Jade screamed "You bully leave em alone you slimy spiked dinosaur freak". Zeerax flared his green eyes turning bright red with flames staring coldly at Jade she gulped slowly inching back "I just had to open my big fat mouth", Robby ran full speed at Zeerax "Leave her alone you whatever you are". The lizard Pokemon grinned his eyes glowed golden as a beam of electricity, fired from his beak like mouth zapping Robby back "He's an…electric too". "Robby no hey stay back listen stay AHH" Jade screamed as Zeerax lashed out a frog like tongue wrapping around her leg Zeerax pulled her forward, opening his fanged jaws evilly Jade squirmed and struggled to break free. "Help Robby Bulbasaur someone he's gonna eat me AHHH" she thought to herself thinking she was lunch "This is it I'm dinner no boyfriend no ring, its over huh?" "HA" Robby dropkicked the creature's mouth off of Jade's leg. The monster Zeerax tumbled back in pain Robby pulled out a Pokeball calling out "Butterfree use whirlwind" Jade quickly hid behind some rocks, watching as Robby battled the beast Butterfree flew wild wind storms out. Zeerax topped back with dust and rocks in his eyes once he landed growling he fought back launching a horn attack Butterfree shook it off and fought on, "Next move tackle attack" Zeerax rolled up into a strange looking ball form. Robby and Jade gasped together as Zeerax plowed Butterfree to the ground the bug Pokemon flew up slowly damaged Zeerax fired his new thunder ray, from his mouth frying Butterfree out of commission Bulbasaur was next. "Time to show him who's boss Bulbasaur sand attack" Bulbasaur threw sand everywhere at Zeerax he growled unable to see anything the plant Pokemon, continued as he whipped back the raging reptile with his furious vine whips. Robby cheered for Bulbasaur as Zeerax angrily stumbled back up fighting back with a rage like force firing a double attack of horn and barrage attacks, spikes and fast rocks flew Bulbasaur tired to dodge but was beaten by them. Too fast for him to avoid as he was pummeled after it stopped the Pokemon panted badly covered with scratches and slash marks all over their bodies, "You may have new attacks Zeerax but no matter what you do to me alone. Or at Bulbasaur too no one hurts my friends and I will capture and defeat you no matter what it takes Bulbasaur go" "BULBASAUR- solar beam", cried the grass Pokemon as his bulb glowed brightly gathering sun energy. From the white rays making him stronger and stronger Zeerax growled and did the same opening his jaws wide as a red energy glow brightened widely, electric energy surged all over his spiked back and tail as he powered up. Jade warned Robby "Robby watch out he's using laser breath against solar beam" "Laser what?" never learning of that move he checked his Pokedex, "Laser breath a mega electric attack by sucking up energy from its body. A Pokemon focuses its powers all into a powerful laser beam attack the beam, can last for 5 minutes" Robby gasped and quickly commanded Bulbasaur. "Fire solar beam" Bulbasaur blasted the sun- strengthened beam Zeerax unleashed his laser breath the powerful beams struck each other colliding, as they held the beams were equal each stuck against equal amounts of power. 2 Minutes went by of the battling beams Bulbasaur was weakening panting sweating Robby knew he wouldn't make it "Bulbasaur no he'll be killed, I can't let him get destroyed Bulbasaur" "Charmander go" Jade commanded. A surprise came from behind Robby smiled and gasped all at once Jade's Pokeball released her Charmander it stood side by side with Bulbasaur, teaming up with the plant Pokemon "Charmander help Robby fire blast". "Charmander-you got it" puffing up the fire lizard blasted out a huge human shaped fire attack the flames combined with Bulbasaur's blazing solar beam, Zeerax screamed in fear as the fire beams overflowed on his laser breath. Screaming and roaring in scorching pain the electric lizard was sent flying out the cave door black as burnt toast Robby pulled out a Great ball instead, tossing the green Pokeball with all his might it struck the fried flying lizard. In seconds the Pokeball shook once twice in and air and finally stopped as Robby caught it with total shock and happiness "We did it we got Zeerax", Jade smiled nodding "You bet your butt it was we you were great out there". Robby smiled shaking her hand "Well I couldn't have done it without you thanks" Jade giggled as did Robby they gasped looking at their Pokemon, widening with shock "Charmander and" "Bulbasaur are evolving COOL". In a huge burst of white energetic light Bulbasaur and Charmander grew wide, their claws longer muscles bigger teeth sharper their forms were now larger. The light ended and past the dust stood Jade and Robby's brand new Charmeleon and Ivysaur "Charmeleon-I did it" "Ivysaur-I'm stronger", both trainers hugged each other happy as can be proud of their new Pokemon. Soon as they left the cave a surprise to them all as they were at Viridian City, apparently the whole cave trip was leading them to Viridian City all along. Calling back Charmeleon Jade and Robby quickly got to a hospital as doctors immediately fixed up Jade's cut leg which luckily was healed, Jade was able to walk on it once more they then headed to a Pokemon center. There healing their Pokemon again the happy trainers got back on the road again and continued their Pokemon journey with Ivysaur next to Robby, "Wow Ivysaur you are one heck of a Pokemon with a friend like you. We'll be unstoppable getting those badges and competing in the national Pokemon, league" Ivysaur nodded Jade smirked "Oh really its not that easy you know. Gym leaders are twice as hard as regular trainers think you can handle em?" Robby sneered a bit "Sure I can my Pokemon are all smart strong and fast", Jade laughed snickering "If you say so" "That a nice thanks for your help". Jade frowned and stared Robby in the eyes as they walked an argument broke out "Hey buddy you didn't need to help I was perfectly fine loser", Robby growled extremely anger to be called a loser especially from Jade. "I should have let Zeerax just eat you up but your too much of a bad crab he'd spit out you in seconds" Jade was set off as the 2 argued on and on and, on. "IVYSAUR-shut up" Ivysaur whacked them both in the head with vine whip they stopped rubbing their heads in pain Ivysaur continued to yell, at them (Poke-translator on) "Your both being way too bratty together you guys. Beat a weirdo Pokemon saved each others lives and proved to be a great team there is no need to fight" Robby sighed nodding "Your right buddy", Jade somewhat understanding agreed "Guess we were pretty pig headed". Ivysaur smiled and had them shake hands with his vines "Good" (Poke-translator off) Robby and Jade smiled ending the shake and walked on, Jade smiled innocently saying "I'm sorry Robby I should have thanked you. You helped my leg carried me all that way kept me alive and stopped Zeerax" Robby blushed a little and smiled "Its nothing well you helped too, Bulbasaur needed your Charmander too you're a great trainer really great". Jade blushed back as they walked down Robby bit his lip nervously and thought to himself "Should I speak my mind maybe I am not so sure yet, we just met wait what am I doing I'm talking to my brain oh…I'll tell her now". "Jade" she looked to Robby wondering what he wanted she asked "Yeah?" blushing very brightly Robby tried to get the words out "I j-j- just wanted, to t-t-ell you that I well you see" "HELP" "AHHH" Robby fell down spooked. Hearing the cry for help set him off his nervous wreck Jade heard it too "Its sounds like someone's in danger" getting up annoyed immensely Robby, replied "Perfect timing but I won't let whoever it is down Ivysaur let's go". The cries continued to echo threw out the forest filled area Jade and Robby ran their hearts out hoping whoever was calling would still be safe and alive, finally they found the spot and saw 2 people and a whole squad of Ekans. One person a young girl at the age of 12 herself with long dark brown hair her soft silky peach skin glistened in the sun shining from her brown eyes, her plain white T-shirt sleeveless baring her arms above her long blue jeans. Backing away with her plain white runner like shoes from the second kid also 12 but a lot shorter his brown hair stuck of his backwards orange cap, his green eyes above his dirty cheeks and smudged face baring his teeth. Wearing a yellow shirt covered with some dirt and dust above his brown shorts with 2 pockets on each side wearing plain old brown boot like shoes, he shouted at the girl "I'll ask you one more time Wendy and I mean it. Hand over your Pokemon and your money and I'll forget that you ever got beaten badly" the boy shouted not noticing Jade and Robby Wendy sneered, "Barny you brick head I beat you and for the last time I'll never give it up. Why would I give my Pokemon to a sore loser like you because you lost against me?" Barny growled and turned redder then a tomato with rage, "I warned you Ekans dinner time" "W-w-hat?" Wendy gulped turning pale. Looking around her drooling Ekans slurped their snake mouths at her sight inching closer and closer Robby was mad with anger whispering "Why that, monster if he lays a hand on her I swear" Jade shushed him "Don't worry. We'll save her but we can't let him try and hurt this girl so just cool it" Robby hated watching this but he knew Jade was right pulling a Pokeball, from his belt he kept his eyes dead onto both Barny Wendy and the Ekans. The sounds of snapping jaws were heard Ekans bit at Wendy she backed away sweating in fear "H-h-hey guys cool it I mean don't listen to h-him, your wild Pokemon you don't really want to (gulps) eat me uhh please". Barny laughed evilly watching the Ekans surround the defenseless girl "Once they swallow you whole I'll wait till they go and pick up your, Pokemon bye Wendy hate to eat and run" Barny laughed a irritating laugh. The Ekans leaped all at once their mouths wide open preparing to devour Wendy she screamed covering her eyes thinking "This is it I'm lunch no, please don't AH huh?" ZAP AHHHH "WHAT" were the sounds heard. Very confused Wendy opened her eyes and gasped a huge shock of surprise laying the ground the Ekans trying to eat her were fried sizzling half dead, in front of her stood Jade lending her hand out to her "You okay?" "Yeah". Aside from her stood Robby and his newest Pokemon Zeerax with smoke coming from his back spikes the Ekans freaked running off in total fear, Robby grinned at Barny "Hey kid Barny right? Bet you found that all funny. Here's a new punch line for you BRAT" Robby leered back his fist and slammed it right into his jaw spit flew from the scared kid's mouth instantly, Barny flew back and crashed his head painfully into a tree trunk cracking it. Apples pummeled his aching skull as well he finally ran off totally freaked out screaming "I'm not a kid the name is Barny Bracker to all you losers, don't think its over Wendy all of you as far as I'm concerned were rivals". Barny babbled running off into the sunset Robby snorted despising the kid helping Wendy back up she smiled warmly and bowed on her feet "Oh god, thank you thank you oh boy thank you" "Okay take it easy" Robby laughed. Wendy got up laughing a little Jade asked her giggling still "We can tell your grateful no need to thank us our pleasure Wendy" Wendy smiled back, "I mean it you guys saved my life I'd be in those Ekans bellies right now. But if you don't mind me being rude but who are you?" Robby smiled as he Jade and Ivysaur introduced themselves explaining their quest's together, "Wow sounds like a heck of a trip so far well I'm Wendy, Wendy Launna. I guess I should explain all that you see I'm a Pokemon researcher not a, watcher but close I got my license today and I'm trying to study Pokemon. Things however are going pretty bad though first my dummy head rival is laughing her head off trying to beat me at my own game and just had to bug, me about it I tried to hurry things up until this weirdo kid challenged me. I'm not much of a trainer but the kid is a brainless dork after I beat him he said his reputation had to be as good as he was (gagging) he demanded all, my Pokemon and money" Robby and Jade smiled hearing everything out. "And by the looks of things he tried to rent you as a snack to those Ekans" Wendy nodded to Jade "Yeah they scared me to death" Robby giggled, "Don't you worry after the way I beat that brat he ain't coming back. It was a true honor meeting you Wendy and hey you know a lot about Pokemon, and since you started today bet you need some friends how about join us". Jade laughed and hugged Robby he blushed immensely "That's a awesome idea Robby" "Awe thanks so Wendy will you join" Ivysaur walked up, Wendy looked down and blushed a little as he handed her a small red rose. "Ivysaur Ivy-we need you friend" "How cute of course I'll come it's the least I can do after you saved my life thanks Robby Jade Ivysaur my friends, and together I can become a full Pokemon scientist" Ivysaur jumped for joy. Robby hugged Ivysaur happily walking along with him Jade and his new best friend Wendy noticing her Pokeballs he asked her curiously "Hey, found your Pokemon what kind do you got Wendy?" she answered smiling. "My first and favorite cutest Pokemon Vaporeon and my other 3 Pikachu Sandslash Staryu and Marril" Jade then suddenly smacked her head oddly, "I can't believe I forgot it" Robby and Wendy looked at her very strangely. "Forgot what?" they both asked pulling out another Pokeball she showed them "I just remembered I got a Ivysaur too I had it all along in my pack, its just I forgot it when I met Robby and I could have won the match earlier". Both face faulted Jade sweat dropped laughing nervously "Oops" Wendy and Robby stood up Jade then grinned to Robby as he walked "Oh Robby", the young trainer looked at her "What?" "Its time for another rematch huh". Looking at her annoyed and oddly Robby scratched his chin grinned Jade watched him oddly as he pulled out a small paper bag opening it up to Jade, "You want it catch me if you can HA" Robby ran off laughing he slammed. The bag over Jade's head she growled trying to pull it off turning red as Barny did chasing after him "Your gonna get it now buster get back HERE", "Hey wait for ME" Wendy screamed as she ran following Jade and Robby. Robby Ivysaur Jade and Wendy together running off into the beautiful sunset the day had ended and so has yet another great Pokemon adventure, today Robby completed his Pokemon team spanning a belt of 6 Pokemon.
