John
and Bob looked at the grass in the field. The tall grass
shook. John held his pokeball tight, preparing to throw
it. Out of the grass stepped another boy. "Hey, I
thought you were a pokemon!" shouted John. "Hi,
John. Hi, Bob," said the boy. "Did you choose
your pokemon yet," asked the boy. "Yup,"
said Bob. "You're so lucky, you can choose the best
pokemon from your father. My pokemon choices weren't so
great. Actually, I only had one choice, a rattata,"
said the boy. "Geez, Charlie, that's too bad. Too
bad, your father isn't a renowned pokemon specialist,
like ours," said John. "Our father only
collects special pokemon," said Bob. "No need
to be insulting," said Charlie. Charlie
looked at his watch. "We have to go now, we don't
want to be left behind." John, Bob, and Charlie
started walking toward the exit of Viridian City.
"Okay, let's see if you can catch more pokemon than
I can," said John to Charlie. "I bet I can
catch more," replied Charlie.
After
two months John had caught 24 different kinds of pokemon.
Charlie caught 14, and Bob caught 15. Both Rattata and
Charmander were at level 19. Vulpix was on level 18. John
was extremely pleased. That is until Charlie's rattata
evolved into a raticate. John reached into his backpack
and grabbed a pokeball. Charmander popped out.
"Charmander, it is now time to evolve," said
John. Charmander shook his head. I can't evolve and I
don't want to, thought Charmander. John looked irritated.
In
response John used Charmander to fight in all his pokemon
battles. After ten battles John had enough.
"Charmander, I love you and everything, but I simply
can't carry you around with me anymore. I can only carry
six at a time and my other pokemon are stronger than you
are," he said. "I'm sorry," said John as
he called back Charmander. He took out his pokedex.
"I'm putting you away," he said while pushing a
few buttons on his pokedex. Charmander's eyes watered up
as he returned to his pokeball. Something went wrong.
The
pokeball could not be transported back to John's dad.
There was an error message on the screen. It said, Hey
John, you can't send your starting pokemon back to me.
John turned red and he looked very angry. "What!
What use is this dumb pokemon who can't even
evolve!" John tossed the pokeball with Charmander in
the bushes. Charmander popped out. John started walking.
"Let's go," he said to Charlie and Bob.
"You, Charmander stay here," said John.
Charmander knew that John wasn't coming back.
Present Time
The
rain poured outside. Truf searched the whole mansion
frantically. Charmander was nowhere to be found. "I
think they must have left already, Truf," said Dell.
"We have to go after them," said Truf.
"Pikachu, come back," said Truf. Pikachu shook
his head. "This is no time for a temper
tantrum!" yelled Truf. Pikachu shocked him.
"Thanks Pikachu I needed that," said Truf.
"Do you want to help, Pikachu?" asked Truf.
Pikachu shook his head. "Pika pika, (just kidding, I
guess I'll help)" said Pikachu. "Okay, let's
go," said Truf as he headed outside. The wind blew
and thunder sounded. Truf ran ahead and looked for signs
of tire tracks. "Don't worry, Charmander, I'll save
you," said Truf.
