The Birth of a Legend: Chapter one: The capture

     A young boy in a red shirt and blue jeans was running away from a bull type of 
Pokemon, called a Taruos.  The young boy also had a strange looking watch on his wrist.  
On it, it said the word Poke-gear.  All of a sudden an older man came leaping from a tree, 
landing just a few inches away from where the young boy was.  
     “Go, Dragonite!”  yelled the man, as he took a red and white sphere from his belt and 
threw it.  Out of the ball came a yellow dragon, with weird looking Antennae.  
     “Dragonite, Fire Blast!”  The yellow beast shot a T-shaped fire blast, instantly 
knocking the chasing Taruos unconscious.  It let out one last wale before landing on the 
ground.
     “Are you alright, kid?  That Taruos almost gotcha there,” The older man noted.  At 
closer inspection, this guy had a black cape, and six spherical objects, which the young 
boy instantly recognized as pokeballs.
     “I’m alright.  My name is Yuan.  I live here in the remote village of Mandarin.  I was 
trying to capture that Taruos as a first pokemon, but it didn’t like it.  Not one bit.  What’s 
your name?  It’s uncommon to see a pokemon trainer in these parts.”  Yuan answered. 
     “My name is Lance, the dragon master.  I am a member of the Elite Four.  I have been 
hearing reports of a boy being chased by a Taruos everyday in this area.  I assume that 
was you?” Lance said.
     Yuan put a hand behind his head, and smiled. 
     “Heh, that’s me” Yuan said with a happy look.  “Do you have any idea where I can 
find a pokemon?  I’m looking for a solid one, not one that could kill me, but not to weak, 
either.”
     “I do, actually.  I will give you a pokeball, and show you where you can capture a 
pokemon called a Nidoran.  It’s a purple color, and of the poison type.  You won’t be 
disappointed.” Lance said, while handing Yuan a pokeball.  “This town is almost right 
next to Viridian, just through those trees.  If you go east of Viridian, there is a patch of 
grass.  That is the Nidoran nesting grounds.  You can capture one of them if you’re 
lucky.”
     “Thanks Lance.  I’m going to become the worlds best pokemon trainer!”
     “Your welcome.  Now if you’ll excuse me, I must get going back to the Indigo 
Plateau.”  With those words, He flew off with his Dragonite, into the horizon. 

     “Come on out, little Nidoran!” Yuan cooed one of those purple pokemon to come out.  
Finally, after waiting half an hour, One finally came out, with a bump on his head.  
     “Alright!  Now I can catch you!  Go pokeball!”  With those words, the pokeball flew 
from his hand, and hit the pokemon.  It went in with a reassuring bing.
     “Now I’m a pokemon trainer!”
     “Not just yet.  You have to get a License first.  Go south to Pallet town, and seek out 
Professor Oak.  He’ll give you what you need.” A voice said behind Yuan.  Yuan looked 
behind him, and it was Lance.
     “Hi Lance.  Good to see you.  Thanks for the tip.  Bye!”  With that, he zoomed off.
     “But…never mind.”  Lance sighed.

     As our hero Yuan sets out for adventure, Lance continues to stroll down south.  What 
happens next?  Find out in the net installment of Birth of a legend!
