Steve and the gang had been walking for a while now. Suddenly, Steve remembered that they had forgotten Stacy. “Oh crap! We forgot to wait for Stacy! She is so gonna kill me!

All of a sudden, they heard a familiar voice call from behind them, “Wait up!” It had soon caught up to the gang. It was Stacy.

“Why didn’t you guys wait for us before starting off for Viridian?!” Stacy asked angrily. “Why didn’t you?!”

“We were so excited about starting our Pokemon Journeys that we TOTALLY forgot about you! Sorry about that.” Steve explained.

“Sorry ain’t gonna cut it! Pay me £1000 and we’ll call it even!” Stacy stated.

“That’s fine.” Steve replied as he paid her the money.

“Thank you.” Stacy replied.

Steve then noticed the Pokeball on her belt. “I thought you weren’t able to start your Pokemon Journey!” Steve proclaimed, pointing at the Pokeball.

“I did anyway. I was eager to become a Trainer ever since I was little. But my dad was really overprotective of me, so he acted like a dumbass & wouldn’t let me go on my goshdamn Journey! But I secretly took my exam. And I forged my dad’s signature on the note that would get me out of school. And I’ve been going around, getting my stuff for the time being instead of going to school. I told him that I would be going on a fieldtrip after school to Viridian Forest and wouldn’t be back until Friday, so he wouldn’t get all worked up over me being gone. So, here I am.” Stacy explained.

“Oh, that’s awesome!” Steve replied excitedly.

“I know!” Stacy agreed.

“Hey, Stacy, what Pokemon did ya get anyway?!!” Mason asked eagerly.

“Now, I think we can wait until her 1st battle.” Steve stated.

“No, no, it’s OK. I was actually hoping 1 of you guys would ask me that!” Stacy replied, unhitching a Pokeball from her belt. She tossed it high into the air. “Emerald, go!!!”

“What kind of Pokemon is Emerald?” Tony asked, dumbfounded.

“It’s what I named my Pokemon, silly.” Stacy replied as her Pokeball opened in a bright flash of light, revealing a small, blue-green, dino-like Grass Pokemon with a seed bulb resting on its back. “It’s a Bulbasaur. I’m a freak when it comes to Grass Pokemon. I love ‘em!!”

Steve took out his Pokedex. So did the others, except for Stacy. “Bulbasaur, a Seed Pokemon. Bulbasaur can be seen napping in bright sunlight. There is a seed on its back. By soaking up the sun’s rays, the seed grows progressively larger.” the Pokedexes said.

“Cool.” the gang said in unison.

“Thanks.” Stacy replied happily. She returned her Bulbasaur and attached the Pokeball to her belt.

 

A couple of minutes later, Steve came up with an idea. “Hey, I got an idea. How about instead of fighting over who gets each and every Pokemon we run into, let’s go in order of who got their starting Pokemon. It would be Tony, then me, then Cody, then Mason, then Stacy! Sorry Stace, but you’d be last.” Steve announced.

“It’s OK.” Stacy replied, smiling. Steve blushed.

“Or maybe we all get the Pokemon and you only get your Starter Pokemon.” Mason burst out laughing.

“Why you little…” Steve jumped on Mason and wrestled him to the ground. He started beating the crap outa Mason. Tony finally pulled Steve off of him. Mason had a blood upper lip and a black eye.

“Now cut it out, guys. We don’t want you 2 fighting throughout the entire Journey!” Tony snapped.

“I won’t if he won’t.” Steve replied.

“Fine” Mason replied annoyingly.

 

After a while, they finally ran into a Pokemon. It was a Ratatta. “I’m up.” Tony announced.

“Go get it, big guy.” Steve stated.

“I will.” “Nidoran, go!!!” Nidoran♂ appeared in a flash of bright light. “Nidoran, Horn Attack!” Nidoran♂ did as it was told and lowered its head so that its horn was facing the Ratatta. It then started charging it. It rammed into the Ratatta, sending it flying. “Hit it again, Nidoran!” The Nidoran♂ started to charge towards the Ratatta once again, its head lowered. But the Ratatta saw this and dodged out of the way. “Damn! Nidoran, use Horn Drill!!! Finish it!!!” Nidoran♂ obeyed and lowered its head so its horn was facing Ratatta. Its horn started spinning really fast. It started to charge Ratatta full speed. It rammed into Ratatta, knocking it out. Tony and the others then took out their Pokedexes.

Ratatta, a Mouse Pokemon. Ratatta is cautious in the extreme. Even while sleeping, it constantly listens by moving its ears around. It is not picky about where it lives – it will make its nest anywhere. Its fangs are long and very sharp. They grow continuously, so it gnaws on hard things to whittle them down.” the Pokedexes said.

“Pokeball, go!!!!” Tony shouted as he got a Pokeball from his backpack and tossed it at the fainted Pokemon. The Pokeball opened, absorbed the Ratatta in a bright flash of red light, and shut tight. It dropped to the ground and started shaking slightly from side to side. After 3 shakes, it stopped and there was a ding, announcing that the Pokemon had been caught. Tony ran to the Pokeball and picked it up. “Alright, I caught my 1st Pokemon: a Ratatta!!!” Tony announced, attaching the Pokeball to his belt.

“That was some catch you made. You a rookie?” a voice called to them. It was a boy who looked to be a bit older than them. And by the looks of it, he was also a Trainer.

“Yeah, I just started.” Tony replied.

“I did too. Just yesterday. Been waitin’ here for a Trainer to come my way. The name’s Sam. What’s your’s?” he replied.

“My name’s Tony. And if you’re lookin’ for a Battle, I’m in. So bring it on!” Tony replied, eager for his 1st Battle.

“You’re on!” Sam replied, unhitching a Pokeball from his belt. Tony did the same and took position about 20 or so ft. away from Sam. “Go, Caterpie!” Sam called out as he tossed his Pokeball into the air. A small, green, caterpillar-like Bug Pokemon appeared. Tony took out his Pokedex.

Caterpie, a Worm Pokemon. Caterpie has a voracious appetite. It can devour leaves bigger than its body right before your eyes. From its antenna, this Pokemon releases a terrifically strong odor. Its short feet are tipped with suction pads that enable it to tirelessly climb slopes and walls.” the Pokedex said.

“Ratatta, get out there and give it your all!!!” Tony shouted, tossing his Pokeball high into the air. Soon after, a small, purple, rat-like Pokemon with buck teeth appeared. “Ratatta, start off with a Quick Attack!” Tony commanded. Ratatta dashed towards Caterpie. He smashed into the little, green bug and sent him flying.

“Caterpie, String Shot!” Sam commanded. As it was still flying, Caterpie spit a string of sticky silk at Ratatta.

“Ratatta, dodge out of the way of the silk!” Tony shouted. Ratatta started moving very quickly, just in time to dodge the attack. “Now use your Hyper Fang attack!!!” Ratatta started to charge Caterpie, jaws wide open. Caterpie wasn’t fast enough to dodge the attack, and was soon in Ratatta’s grasp. It was quickly knocked out.

“Caterpie, return! Don’t think this is over. I still got 2 more Pokemon!” Sam shouted angrily as he returned his fallen Caterpie. He readied another Pokeball and tossed it into the air. “Weedle, go!!!” Soon after, a small caterpillar-like Bug Pokemon with a small stinger on its head appeared. Tony once again took out his Pokedex.

Weedle, the Hairy Bug Pokemon. Weedle has a very acute sense of smell. It is capable of distinguishing its favorite kinds of leaves from the ones it dislikes just by sniffing with its big red proboscis (nose). It has a sharp, toxic barb of around 2 in. on top of its head.” the Pokedex said.

“A Weedle, OK. Ratatta, watch out for its stinger, and use Tackle attack!” Tony commanded.

“Weedle, use your Poison Sting attack when it comes in close!” Sam commanded. Weedle got in position. As Ratatta came in range of its attack, Weedle leapt out at Ratatta, its stinger pointed at it.

“Ratatta, dodge it!” Tony commanded. “Now use Super Fang!!!” Ratatta started to glow. It opened its mouth wide and started to charge the Weedle. It grabbed the Bug Pokemon and started to thrash its head back and forth wildly. Weedle was quickly knocked out.

“Damnit!!! Weedle, return!” Sam returned his Weedle and attached the Pokeball back to his belt. “Now for my final Pokemon…” He unhitched a Pokeball. “SPEAROW, GO!!!!!” Sam screamed. Soon after, a small Bird Pokemon with a sharp beak and a pink crest on top of its head appeared. “Spearow, use your Fury Attack!!!” Spearow started flying towards Ratatta. It started to continually peck at Ratatta. Ratatta was knocked out.

“Ratatta, return.” Tony groaned. He unhitched a Pokeball. “Nidoran, I choose you!!!” Tony shouted as he tossed the Pokeball into the air. Nidoran♂ looked ready to take on even the strongest of Pokemon.

‘Oh, crap. It looks a lot stronger up close!’ Sam thought wearily.

“Nidoran, start of with a Horn Attack!” Tony commanded. Nidoran♂ lowered its head and started to charge. Spearow wasn’t fast enough and got the full force of the attack. It was hurt badly.

“Spearow!” Sam cried.

After a couple of minutes, it got back up, barely in there. “Nidoran, finish it with your Horn Drill!!!” Nidoran♂ lowered its head and began to charge as its horn started to spin really fast. Before Spearow could move out of the way, it was hit and knocked out.

“Spearow, return.” Sam sighed.

“Yes, we did it!! We won!!!” Tony screamed as he returned his Nidoran♂. Sam paid him £476. Just then they heard something close behind. It was a buzzing sound.
