about this for a while and now I have an idea. Hope you enjoy!


Cody’s Journey: Chapter 2

Cody and Cyndaquil went home to show his parents his Pokemon that was filled 
with pride. His father was pleased, his mother gave a look like, ‘It’s okay’ and 
his brother and sister thinks it was going to burn everything because he was a 
fire Pokemon.

“It’s not going to burn everything,” said Cody.

“Yeah, it will!” said Danny.

“No it won’t!” he said.

Cody took Cyndaquil and went upstairs to get his other stuff that he needed like 
a pass to the ferry. He was thinking of taking a trip around Johto and battle 
there. He knew there were eight of them, but he wasn’t really sure who they 
really were. 

“Well, Cyndaquil, this is my room. What do you think?”

“Cynda-Cynda!” (Pretty awesome!) said Cyndaquil.

“Glad to here it,”

Cody stretched out on his bed and took a last look of everything before he 
leaves with his new Pokemon. He looked at the poster, the window, heck even the 
walls that were pasted with posters. 

He got up out of bed, took Cyndaquil and left the house. He went out of the 
house and started on his journey to Johto. He picked up a map on the way there. 

--

The trees were all around him as he continued to traverse into the forest, 
trying not to trip over branches or anything. He stopped and looked around. 
There was a fork in the middle of the road. Cody took out the map and compared 
it to the fork. One road led to Cherrygrove City and the other led to Blackthorn 
City and the northern cities.

“Well, Cyndaquil. It’s your job. Pick a path,” said Cody.

Cyndaquil looked around and picked the path to the right.

“Okay, we are going to Blackthorn City then,” he said. He put the map away in 
his satchel and started his journey to Blackthorn City.

He thought it was all over until he realized that where he was going was really 
dangerous if he wasn’t careful. He didn’t see trees anymore and the weather was 
starting to get colder. He was in the mountains next to Mt. Silver. According to 
the guide he got from his dad, that was the Silver Conference.

‘When is the next town?’ Cody thought as he was climbing up the mountains. ‘I 
should’ve went to Cherrygrove. Oh well, it’s too late now’.

Cody was right. The sun started to set and it was going to get a lot cooler than 
usual. What he didn’t know was that a Pokemon Center was coming up, right before 
his very eyes! 

‘Wow. This must be a mirage. How is that possible? Well, might as well see if it 
isn’t’

Cody walked inside. The main desk was in the middle. The lobby next to it and 
upstairs was the trainer rooms.

“Hello, welcome to the Mountain Road Pokemon Center. How may I help you?”

“Hi, can you check up on my Cyndaquil?” asked Cody.

“Why sure,” said the Nurse. “Are you staying here for tonight?”

“Yes,” said Cody. “That walk from New Bark Town took a lot out of me,”

“Okay,” she said. She pulled out a key to one of the rooms. “Room 12,” 

“Thanks, Nurse, uh?”

“Joy,” she said.

“Thank you Nurse Joy,” said Cody. 

Cody walked upstairs into his room. He turned the key and opened the door. The 
room had two bunk beds, a computer in the corner, a dresser and a window. Cody 
took off his backpack and placed it next to the dresser, he also took off his 
hat and jacket and put them on the coat rack, which was next to the door. He sat 
down at the videophone and called home.

“Lambert residence,” said his father.

“Hi dad. This is Cody,” 

“CODY? CODY!” 

His dad’s image appeared on the screen. He had a happy smile on his face. “How 
are you?”

“Good, thanks,”

“Where are you?”

“I am on Mountain Road,” said Cody.

His father nodded. “So, you are going up the mountains instead of the forest? 
Cool! I guess it’s pretty cold up there,”

Cody nodded. “It is,”

“How’s Cyndaquil?” asked his father.

“Healthy and happy,” said Cody. “Well, got to go. Blackthorn City is a long way 
up from here,”

“Okay,” said his father. “Good luck on your journey,” 



Cody hung up the phone and sat down. He got his Cyndaquil back from Nurse Joy. 
Cody changed into his pj’s and went to sleep. He has a long day tomorrow. He 
will need all of his strength to get there.

The next morning, Cody woke up, and did his morning routine. He picked up 
Cyndaquil, had breakfast and moved out. He was still in the mountains and who 
knows what mountain Pokemon live there. Suddenly, an entity stopped him in his 
tracks. It was an armored bird. The bird was silver like steel, his eyes glaring 
towards his, and the bird’s beak was sharp as an axe.

“Oh my gosh, a Skarmory! A rare Skarmory!” he yelled.

Skarmory roared like some wild animal, making him deaf. 

“Cyndaquil, get him!” 

Cyndaquil was released from his Poke Ball.

“Use Ember!” said Cody.

Cyndaquil shot a flame at Skarmory’s wings. Skarmory roared as it was trying to 
escape, but couldn’t because the flames were so intense.

“Go Poke Ball,” yelled Cody.
