Pokemon Special
PROLOUGE
My name is Aaron Carter… I originated from the Hoenn region in Japan…my parents are critics for both the battle competition and contests. My dad have bought a large plot of land in Pallet Town and my mom thinks about startin’ a new business, a day care for Pokemon…
I have a Pikachu with me… he’s name is Shock. I also have four extra… they’re Leafy (Leafeon), Luke (Lucario), Bronx (Pelipper) and Marco (Magmar) along with an egg... I kept it for over 2 weeks now...
Aaron: hey mom, how long until we get there....
Mom: well... your father should be here by now...
Aaron: oh.... I’m gonna walk around here...
Well I’m also more of adventurer I usually make a good view... back home... the air is as good as it is... but here... I feel.... better! Like the top of the WORLD!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well... back to the point! As 2 weeks pass, I have a sense of happiness upon something... my Pokemon egg is hatching...
Aaron: MOM!!! DAD!!! IT’S HATCHING!!! THE EGG IS HATCHING!!!!
After that... I have a new Pokemon, Ralts, and female... she’s a beauty... believe me I know... I nickname her...
Aaron: Rein... her name is Rein...
CHAPTER 1: TO START ANEW
4 years later...
Now... I’m a registered Trainer with an Id. No. 65314 and my Rein grew into a beauty of a Gardevoir... At least I have a maximum of 6 Pokemon on my belt... its summer on June the 3rd... I’m practically helping Professor Oak with his research... well... since I too have a new device called the Poke-Dex. While working...
Aaron: ok... Shock... return... all clean Prof!!! Huh?
I can tell that the scratching sound could be the town here; Red, the champ.... but I believe something’s not right...
Aaron: oh... god.... PROF!!! WE GOT A CODE 5-4 HERE!!! Don’t worry little guy... hang in there....oh boy....
Prof. Oak: oh dear...
Aaron: I just found Pika like this... poor guy...
???: Hello.
Prof. Oak: ...? Who are you?
Aaron: Hey kid listen... you should come back here later ya know...
???: ! Oh! It’s here! It’s really here! It’s just like they told me! I KNEW it! You’d come back to Pallet Town!
With a sudden glow...
Aaron’s head: so bizarre...
Prof. Oak: wha...? H-h-hey! Who do you think you are!? What do you mean you KNEW!? Knew WHAT!?
???: wait, wait! Too many questions at once! Hey there!
Pika: Pika!
Aaron’s head: wow... odd
???: okay! Let’s go!
Aaron: whoa...whoa....whoa...! Dude.... wait a minute! What do you think your doin’ ? Just barge in... Talk about those... things and.... what the hell’s goin’ on here!? Wait.... you know Red?
???: Yes.
Aaron: you come here knowing that he’s missing!?
???: yes.
Aaron: where is Red?
???: I don’t know.
Aaron: ... how did you learn that Red was missing and that Pikachu was back in Pallet Town?
???: ... that... I can’t tell you.
Aaron: what your name?
???: sorry... not that either.
Aaron: THIS IS CRAZY!!!! WHATTA YA THINK YOUR- -
???: listen Aide... I’m going with Pikachu to find the missing Red. That’s why I came here.
Aaron: It’s INSANE! We don’t even know what’s happened to- -
???: if, by chance Red is held captive by some unknown force...
Aaron: ...held... captive!?
???: I will free him!
...I feel confident about this kid though...
Aaron: OKAY! RED’S IS THE CHAMP.... NO ONE IN THE WORLD CAN BEAT HIM!!! LEAFY.... RAZOR LEAF!!! YOU THINK I CAN TRUST YOU TO RESCUE RED TO A BRAT LIKE YOU!? WE GO ONE-ON-ONE ON THIS BATTLE!!!
???: I might just to that...DODUO! Whirlwind....
Aaron: oh no... LEAFY... SLEEP POWDER!
???: keep whirling!
Aaron’s head: sleep powder vs. whirlwind....manage to get me but not good enough kiddo....
Aaron: ok.... what do you want to do since our attacks can’t reach each other...what to do? Press on.... or... retreat?
???: ...
Aaron: no way out now kid! You’d better stay out of the way or else!
???: ... Doduo!
Aaron’s head: buyin’ some time eh?
Aaron: LEAFY!!!!
???: ! Pika!
Aaron:... oh god.... that was close... nice moves.... Rein... take care of Leafy....
???: you told me to END the battle!
Aaron: but....
???: I’m just glad that neither Pokemon got hurt.
Aaron’s head: !.... this kid’s amazing.... Leafy has no damage and yet.... his Doduo also has no scratches... a match that turned out with neither Pokemon damaged...
Aaron: hey kid... follow me.
At Aaron’s house
Aaron: this is the last place where Red was...and... Yes... his Poke-Dex... he thinks he’s strong enough to leave it behind...or.... he just played dumb!
???: ...
Aaron: for now... I consider you as a Poke-Dex holder as if from now on... I trust you...
At the lab
Aaron: Prof! I need permission to go with this kid here... and don’t worry... we’ll look for Red
Prof. Oak: okay... here... you need these too...
Obtained: Map, Magnifying Glass, Mega-Potion (x6), Mega-Ether(x6), Poke-balls (x12)
Aaron: thanks’ Prof... Ok kid... let’s go....
Outside
Aaron: oh yea... how do we get there....?
???: We ride on my Doduo...
Aaron: wait.... what....
???: let’s go...!
Aaron: wait.... WHAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!
Now... my journey really begins as I collect and fulfill all my info on my Dex....
CHAPTER 2: TROUBLE AT VIRIDIAN FOREST (PART 1)
Location: a river in viridian forest
It’s been a few hours after my departure and... Things well... let’s say.... fine....
Aaron: SERIOUSLY! YOU ALMOST GOT ME KILLED BACK THERE!!!!!
???: eh.... sorry....
Aaron: fine.... whatever....
Time: 2 p.m.
???: yaaawn.... mmmg... so sleepy... huh!? Something tugging...?
???: going for a walk, Pika? Don’t wander too far!
And I’m planning our route out of the forest to Pewter City
Aaron: hm.... according to the map... northeast of here by 5 km....man... this is sooo confusing!
Aaron: huh....hey kid... anything yet...?
???: nope!
Pika: piii! Pi pika pika pi!
???: huh!? What did you say!?
Pika: pi-kaa!
???: okay, okay, just hang on!
Aaron: huh... hey... kid... what’s going on?
???: all right! Let’s go!
We run to an area where Pika last saw someone...
Aaron: h-hang on! Hey!
???: I’m going to get you out of there!
And that kid just throws a rope at the person under the water!
??? 2: GUHH!
??? 2: huhh... huhh... thuh... thanks...
???: are you alright...?
??? 2: huh? Wh- what in the- -!?
Aaron: oh crap! It’s a wild SEADRA!!!!
???: oh no! Get d- -
??? 2: YAAAA!!! AARGH!
???: no!! This is serious Pika! THUNDER WAVE!!!
Aaron: hold on! Oh... it’s not working!!!!
???: it’s... it’s too far to affect! But Pika’s weak against water Pokemon... if this keeps going, he’ll be swallowed by Seadra’s currents!! Pika!
???: gotcha! THINDERSHOCK!
Aaron: what are you doing... you’ll make it angrier!
???: I know but... at least it worked... but now the rope...
Aaron: too late...
???: oh no! The current... they’ll be swept away!!
??? Mind: m-my fishing pole...!
Aaron: oh no!
???: I gotta make it in time!
Aaron: Bronx! Try to control the current for me!
Bronx: nod
???2: I’m obliged! ‘spect I’d be gone if not for you two!
???: don’t mention it. If you’re going to thank me... thank Pika too.
???2: d-did you just say... “Pika”!? by Pika... do you mean THAT Pika!/ no wonder the little thing looked so familiar... so what’s going on here!?
???: just a moment. I need to heal Seadra first.
Aaron: heh!
2.5 minutes later...
???2: campin’ equipment.. so they’re travelin’ are they...?
Aaron and ???: zzz
Aaron: huh.... AH-CHOO!!!
Aaron: wow... so cold! Uh... who are you!?
???3:do you know of the battle between Red of Pallet Town and Bruno of the Elite four... that took place at a... certain location?
???2: a battle between RED- - and BRUNO!?
Aaron: wait... what about Red... what happen to him!?
???3: do you think some little Pokemon League Tournament winner would stand a chance against a member of the Elite Four?
Aaron: no... it can’t be...
???3: however... there was ONE who escaped the battle...
???2: Pika... I was right.. you ARE Red’s Pika!
???3: the Elite Four have a PERFECT battle record to preserve. Not only do we crush all the trainers... we don’t let even a single Pokemon escape! It’s a matter of reputation, you understand. That’s why I need you to give that Pikachu to me.
Aaron: did... you say “WE”!?
???3: indeed. I too... am one of the Elite Four. I am Lorelei! And my specialty is... ICE!
Aaron: no way... us against... Lorelei?
Lorelei: you my not defy me.
CHAPTER 3:TROUBLE AT VIRIDIAN FOREST (PART 2)
???2: wh-what’s she DOING- - -!!?
Lorelei: just covering that ugly cliff face with a beautiful sheet of ice... HA HA HA...
Aaron: oh boy!
???: Doduo!
Lorelei: !? curses- - DEWGONG! ...They’re gone.
At a nearby cave
Aaron: man... that was close.... damn.... huff.... huff....
???2: so what that gal was just sayin’...
???: it’s all true, yes. When Red was last seen, he was going off to answer a letter of challenge. He probably thought it was from another trainer... but it was really from THEM... and only Pika came back alive...
Aaron: no way... there’s an enemy not even the Pokemon League Champion can beat...
???: it’s true. I don’t know if ANYONE can stand against the Elite Four.
???2: what can we do then?
Another same shine appeared again!
Aaron: urgh! What...
???2: you two! Who ARE you!?
Aaron and ???: we’re on a mission from Professor Oak... to team up with Pikachu and find the missing Red!
???2: what!? You’re not thinking of fighting them... the Elite Four... are you!? Don’t be INSANE!
Aaron: it’s... a risk.... we have to take!!
???: shall we go?
Aaron: ready guys?
All of Aaron’s Pokemon: nod!
???2:um... not like I’m stallin’ y’understand, but... do you... hear something?
???: ...
???2: there it is again!
Aaron: that was close! They know we’re hiding- - they’re trying to bury us!!
???2: WHAT!?
Aaron: EVERYONE DUCK!!!
???2: the EXIT!
Aaron: no!!
???2: we’re... TRAPPED!!
Aaron: man... it’s too cold... any bright ideas kid!?
???2: I know! Can’t your Doduo’s powers bust us out of this ice!?
???: yes, they probably could... but... we’ll be sitting ducks for those missiles as soon as we step out! The enemy knows where we are, remember!? We need to find out what those missiles are... what makes them so powerful! What kind of Pokemon is shooting them out- - and how!? It’s too powerful to be an ordinary Spike Cannon!!
Aaron: hey... look over there.... it’s small.... but an opening!
???2: but we can’t get through that tiny li’l hole! Well!?
???: Pika! Go into the ball for a moment!
And Pika entered the Poke-ball... and I think I know what he’s planning...
???2: once they’re in their balls, Pokemon are small enough to go in your pocket! You might also call ‘em Pocket M- -... wh-what are you planning now...
Aaron: you’re thinking what I’m thinking...
???: THIS!
With the kid’s expression... I can tell something’s not quite right...
Aaron: you’re okay!?
???: yeah...it’s both of them... the ice missiles are made of Cloyster’s Spike Canon boosted by Dewgong’s Ice Beam. That’s why they’re so incredibly powerful. If we can stop one of them... we just might be able to escape.
???2: w-wait a minute! How d’you know what Pikachu saw outside!? This happened before... with Pika and Seadra...!
???: all I know is... when I do this I can somehow, faintly, sense the feelings and thoughts... of Pikachu and other Pokemon...
???2: they’re THOUGHTS!!
Aaron: we gotta act now... it’s freezing in here! Even my Magmar can’t hold it...!!
???: okay... let’s do this!!!
Meanwhile...
Lorelei: the cold inside the cave must have immobilized them by now. HENH. They’re out of options. They either get hammered by the ice missiles... or get jumped coming out of the rubble!
After Lorelei sees a Poke ball...
Lorelei: there... just as I THOUGHT!! They’re using the same trick!!
Lorelei: HAHAHA!! They’re just begging to be crushed! Cloyster! Dewgong! That ball with Pikachu in it... DESTROY it!!
As the spike canon hit the Poke ball...
Lorelei: got it!...! What!?
Aaron: go Bronx!! Faster!!! Hurry!
???: heh!
Lorelei: it can’t be! The... the Poke Ball we just destroyed... is empty!! It was a DECOY!!
Aaron: ready kid!?
???: nod
Aaron: Bronx....boosts Pika’s speed with GUST!!!!
Lorelei: back in your shell, Cloyster!!
???: THUNDERSHOCK!!
Aaron: woo!!! Good one kid.... right at the sweet spot!!
???2: with that Cloyster down... Dewgong ain’t gonna be able to make those ice missiles... so now’s our chance to get outta here!!
Lorelei: you concentrated only on Cloyster in that attack, didn’t you? You knew that with one disabled, the other wouldn’t be much of a threat! You must have known who they were before you came out... but you couldn’t have seen them from inside the cave! How did you KNOW?
???:...
Lorelei: ANSWER ME!!
Aaron: we gotta get outta here!!!!!
???2: you’re... not going to fight back!?
???: we are no match!! We gotta run!!
Aaron: KEEP MOVING!!! Faster Bronx!!!
Lorelei: so... it seems you’re NOT just running like a coward. You have something normal trainers don’t have! What is your name!?
???: call me Amarillo! Amarillo Del Bosque Verde!!
Aaron’s head: an Italian.... but how!?
Aaron: it’s catching up... and they’re out running us!!
Lorelei: ha ha ha... ICE BEAM!!
Aaron: oh no! ROADBLOCK!!!
???2: h-hey! THAT way’s the river!
Aaron: Bronx!! SURF!!
???2: the second time today...
Lorelei: after them!
???2: looks like they got the advantage this time!
Aaron: oh boy.... WAVEEE!!!!
Lorelei: let’s thank them for the entertaining match! AURORA BEAM!!
Aaron:! Our feet!!
Lorelei: ha ha ha! Going somewhere?
Aaron: oh man.... gotta get Marco!
Lorelei: not so fast! SUPERSONIC!
Party: aaaah!!!!
Aaron: my ears!!! Can’t... reach... Marco....
Lorelei: ha ha ha... you’ve made this harder than it had to be...
Aaron’s head: oh man....just six hours and it feels like the end of my life... whatta drag!!!
SFX: scrape scrape (x13)
Aaron: huh? What that noise! Waah!!
And I notice a Rattata under the ice block...
Aaron: wow... smart... and soo close...
???2:I never woulda thought to escape with a Rattata... them’s SOME front teeth ya got there, fella!
Amarillo: this was my first Pokemon... my first friend... thanks, Ratty.
???2: you know what? We never did introductions! I’m Bill
Amarillo: zzz
Aaron: here we go again... oh nice to meat ya... I’m Aaron
Bill: yeah... nice to meet ya!!
CHAPTER 4: FIGHT OR FLIGHT! RUMBLE IN CELADON CITY!
And so our journeys continue eastward on the ice block which it’s practically almost melting away... but we’re still far away from the forest... Somewhere a natural intersection between Route 3 and Route 16...
Time: 9 p.m. day 1
I’m at the city restocking myself at the store and also buying a lot of Full Restore with my cash worth 1500 in a 50% discount!
I also have a fateful encounter with a very important person
???: are you Aaron Carter? Aaron Carter of Pallet Town?
Aaron: yes. What do you...waa!
???: is something wrong?
Aaron: You’re... Lady Erika... gym leader of Celadon City... why do you want?
Erika: there’s something important to discuss with you...
Aaron: oh...
At the camp site
Aaron: hey... Amarillo! I found someone!
Erika: you are the one aren’t you? The one who passed through Pallet Town- - and took “PIKA” with him.
Amarillo: !?
Erika: Professor Oak was kind enough to fill me in. Red’s Pikachu... the one returnee from a terrible battle... and a boy in a yellow straw hat along with his assistant who said Pika would help him... the professor seemed to hold you in a very high regard... but it seems Pika is less easily impressed. Who are you?
Aaron: he’s Bosque Verde.
Amarillo: thanks...
Erika: I’m Erika. Celadon City Gym Leader and one of Red’s closest friend. I have come to place Pika under my care.
Aaron and Amarillo: !!
Erika: that Pikachu is our only lead to Red. Our enemies will be eager to destroy that lead... but the forces of Celadon under my command should be enough to protect it. Bosque Verde... a surname to the peculiar to the Viridian area, is it not? Which is where this Pikachu came from originally. I imagine Pika followed you because of your SCENT. I hope you aren’t counting on a tenuous bond like THAT which in the heat of battle!
Follower: Lady Erika!... whisper (x3)
Erika: are you SURE about that!? A sighting of someone fitting Red’s description on the outskirts of Celadon City!?
Aaron: let’s go!
Location: Celadon City, west side.
Aaron: so it is Red!
Aaron: hey... wait a minute...
Amarillo: what?
Aaron: that’s not Red!
Amarillo: what!?
Aaron: SHOCK! THUNDERBOLT!
???: heh! Shock away, brainless one! I’m well prepared for ANYTHING you might do!
Amarillo: PIKA! THUNDERSHOCK!!!
Aaron: impossible!
???: a bodysuit fools! A bodysuit of my own invention, devised to block electric shocks and to emit a scent... chemically engineered to match Red’s! Today you face invincible scientific wizardry!
Erika:!
???: though a foolish world insists upon calling me “SUPER NERD”- That very fact that I anticipated your route surely demonstrates that my genius is not to be mocked!
Aaron: LET...HER...GO!
???: not too close, soldiers of Celadon! You have the advantage of numbers... but I have your leader’s life in my hand!
Citizens: ...
???: now you’re demonstrating some intellect. Marowak... BONE-MERANG!
Aaron: everybody! Get down!
???: and again! Feh. Too easy. That will suffice.
Amarillo: you!! Give me back... my PIKA!
???: YOUR Pika...!?
Amarillo: until we return Pika to Red... I, Amarillo Del Bosque Verde, am that Pokemon’s trainer
???: you, baby-brain... are Pika’s trainer!? Ha Ha Ha... of course you are!
Aaron and Amarillo: ...
???: then it’ll be no trouble for you to take back!!
Aaron: LUKE, MARCO, TAKE THOSE TWO DOWN!
???: I don’t advise entering the league games just yet “trainers”! Hee-hee-heeeee!
Aaron: if he want’s a fight... he’s just begging for it... return! GO! BRONX! Let’s go!
Aaron: Amarillo!! Hurry up!!!
Location: Central Celadon City.
Aaron: man... too dark... ok.. Rein... flash!
Amarillo: thanks.
Aaron: look out! Up above!
Amarillo: Marowak’s Bone-merang!!
Aaron: Amarillo! Focus on the club’s position
Amarillo: got it...
Aaron and Amarillo: !! Aah!!
Aaron: I... gotta... get... the... others... to... return... safe for now... earplugs
Aaron: it’s too much screeching... not even Amarillo can hear me...Rein... cover your ears... and... PSYCHIC!!!
I actually thought the sound was over... not this time...
Aaron: whew... here it comes again!
Amarillo: RUN!
Aaron: yaaah!!! Again!! Too loud... Rein... return...
I felt a lot of pain... even the sound have over taken the earplugs...
Aaron: Amarillo!... keep them safe! You know what to do!
I let him do his job... keeping Pika safe... I was knocked out from the spore attack and remember seeing Amarillo with me...
Rein: (poor master and Amarillo...)
Aaron: uh... what’s... going on?
???: good, you two are awake. Name’s Misty. I’m a friend of Red’s. What’s happening is... well see for your self.
???2: someone’s trying to steal away our only link to Red!
Amarillo: we’ll... help too...
Misty: no! you’re hurt! Don’t worry! We won’t let him get away that easily!
Aaron: thank you. Let’s rest... Rein.
Erika: oh no! there’s a wild Pokemon in that tree!
???3: what!?
Amarillo: let’s go!
Aaron: Rein... get ready... and... set 2! BARRIER FLOAT!
Amarillo: nice save Aaron!
Aaron: yeah... you did a great job too Amarillo!
???3: Those kid’s... just tried to rescue that Caterpie in their condition...
???3: good job you two. Aaron and Amarillo or can I call you...”Yellow” to make it easier for me
Aaron: wait... who’s yellow?
???3: this child of course. Although you scarcely have what I’d call a “yellow streak”...
Amarillo: uh... who...
???3: I’m Blaine from Cinnabar Gym. Nice to meet you two.
???2: and I’m Brock from Pewter Gym.
Misty: all good friends of Red.
Erika: but I don’t understand... why was the one who tried to steal Pikachu now being kidnapped himself?
Aaron: maybe someone does not want the so-called “super nerd” to be questioned.
Blaine: to keep him from talking? Could be... we’d better hurry on researching that suit.
Brock: then I’ll go to Mt. Moon to investigate. It’s pretty close to Pewter City.
Erika: I will rally my forces in case of a battle...
Misty: the- the fog!!
Blaine: wait- the Gastly that we thought was blown away- was hiding in our captive! It’s attacking again!!
Brock: no! It’s spreading too fast...!
???: it’s a gas Pokemon! Attack the core!
Aaron: REIN!! PSYCHIC!!!
Brock: who the-!?
???: rather than trying to blow away or slice through the fog... its best attack the source of the power. You’ll head off any second attacks.
All groups: BLUE!
Erika: thank you Blue. You saved us. But why are you here?
Blue: you were talking about whoever might be behind your opponent...
Everyone: ...
Blue: most likely, it would be Agatha... the Ghost Pokemon- wielding trainer of the Elite Four.
Aaron: the... Elite four...
Misty: those trainers who’ve surpassed even the Gym Leaders? But Blue... why do you think...?
Blue: the attack strategy was precisely the same... as the one I fought before!
Brock: don’t tell us-
Blaine: you fought with one of the elite four!?
Blue: yes... purely by accident, though. It was at that abandoned Power Plant. I heard about Red’s disappearance in a letter from my grandfather. At the same time, the identity of the enemy was still a mystery.
Blue: but that Gastly clinches it. The Elite four- Agatha in particular- seem to have a personal vendetta against my grandfather. That’s why ever since that battle, I’ve stopped keeping in touch with my grandfather electronically. Security purposes.
Even the explanation sounds bad.
Brock: if the Elite four is behind all this, that explains a lot of things... but why go to all this trouble?
Erika: a letter of challenge... apparently ambushing Red... using his scent to capture Pika...
Misty: now trying to silence the only link to Red that we’ve caught...
Blue: remember... the Elite Four never show any mercy. It’s good to protect Pokemon... but if you allow the enemy to get to you because of that extra kindness, you’re finished. Like that Gastly just now... I’d blown it away, core and all, if not for the interference of your fishing rod. You have to learn that there’s a difference between kindness and weakness.
Misty: hold on, Blue! Are you saying that these kids protecting a Pokemon was wrong!?
I feel pretty right about all this.... as if... something’s gonna happen.
Blue: I’m not judging anyone but if it were Red... he’d have found some way to defeat the enemy completely... while still saving the Caterpie. If you really want to save him, that’s the level of skill and strategy you’ll need. If you plan on facing the Elite Four... I’d recommend you train yourself hard
Aaron: Blue wait! Take us with you! To save Red... we’ll learn whatever we can do
Blue: have it your way...
Yellow: Thank you!
Brock: Yellow! This is my Graveler. You can take it along.
Misty: and this is my Omanyte. This’ll be safer than traveling with just three Pokemon at your side.
Yellow: thank you so much. Misty and Brock!
Aaron: ok... let’s go! Bronx... let’s FLY!!!
Bronx: PELIP!!!!!!
CHAPTER 5: TRAINING ALL THE WAY!
After a week passed... I travel with Yellow (a.k.a. Amarillo) and an old rival of Red’s, Blue. We just left Celadon City heading southeast towards Vermilion City.
And so... we begin our rough training
Aaron: morning guys!
All of Aaron’s Pokemon: yawn!
We rise up early at 6.30 and start Training sessions starting with:
Aaron: okay... SHOCK... THUNDERBOLT!!! Now... REIN... PSYCHIC!!! And... LUKE... DOUBLE KICK!!!
Blue: well... I see your in good shape already...
Aaron: well... I always train every morning...
Blue: wise time to handle your training sessions and balance your time too
Aaron: well... I have my ways...
Blue: alright... you should try my session
Aaron: okay
Blue: Charizard... throw it now!
Aaron: oh boy... BRONX! Ice Beam!!! Whew
Blue: really nice... but you didn’t shatter it though. You’re going to need a lot of power to destroy it!
Aaron: okay!
Meanwhile
Yellow: there’s Aaron... what’s he up to?
Yellow:! A falling boulder! WH-what happened!? Aaron, watch out!
Aaron: Marco, Magma Bomb!!!!
Blue: one more hit Charizard!!!
Yellow: they-they’re training!? I don’t believe it!
Aaron: huh?
Yellow: Blue!! Excuse me!! Can you teach me to train t-
Blue: CHARIZARD!
Yellow: maybe he means I should just watch and learn...?
Aaron: okay Marco... keep attacking
Yellow: Hey! You’re the Pokemon from Celadon City!! What’re you doing all the way out here!?
Blue’s head: that Caterpie... still following the one who saved it’s life, eh?
Blue: ... try to capture that Pokemon with one of your own. Then you can begin training it toward a higher level.
Yellow: o-Kay! I can do this!! Come on, Ratty!
Aaron: that was weird...
Later at night...
Aaron: okay guys... chow time!
I brought some berries and some food along the way to training... most of which are a Snorlax’s leftovers.
Aaron: thanks for the help, Rein.
Rein: thank you master!
Aaron’s head: I just hope Yellow catch that Caterpie... It would make a good Pokemon to battle...but thanks to a genetic Bug-type DNA in Caterpie... I say by now we would’ve had a Metapod by now...
The next morning...
Aaron: alright! Time to check up on Yellow.
And I walk to the place where Yellow is supposed to catch that Caterpie.
Aaron: so Yellow....!?
Yellow: as of now... I gotta call for help! I don’t think I’m cut out for capturing.
Aaron and Blue: ...
Yellow: I mean, you have to hurt it first, right? I just can’t bring myself to do it... I’ve been practicing to see if there’s any way to capture ‘em without a battle! When I fought Pokemon to save people, I was just acting out of desperation!
Aaron’s head: a whole day and no success.... man he’s weak!
Yellow: what do I do?
Blue: just demonstrate an attack. What does Rattata use?
Yellow: ummm... well...
Blue’s head: it’s his Pokemon! Does he even any attack it has!?
We train Yellow to the ‘how to catch Pokemon’ session...
Later... time: 7.30 pm
Aaron: man... you really don’t know how to catch Pokemon, do you?
Yellow: huff... at least... we... huff... did it! .... Huff
Blue: okay, I know you’re keeping Pikachu for Red... but how did you capture Rattata and Doduo?
Yellow: well... with Ratty, it was just like you did for me now... There was someone there to tell me what to do. And I kinda got Doduo from someone else...
Aaron: and these three you have...
Ratty: eh!?
Yellow: Blue! S-something’s wrong with Ratty...!
Aaron: you have Red’s Poke-Dex, don’t you? Open it!
Blue: apparently, it’s maxed out at this level. It’s power level must have shot up because you’ve been battling with it so much lately.
Yellow: ????
Aaron: once it evolves it can learn more attacks, thus being much more useful in battle.
Yellow: um... what’s “EVOLVE”?
Aaron and Blue: !!
Rein: master... Yellow’s ‘Ratty’ is evolving now.
Yellow: !!
Yellow: Ratty!! Noooo!! Wh... WH...
Aaron and Blue: peek-peek!
Yellow: WHAAAAAAAA!!!! (Crying)
Aaron and Blue: THIS HAS GOTTA BE A JOKE!!
Aaron: A TRAIER WHO STARTS CRYING WHEN HIS POKEMON EVOLVES!?
Blue: WHAT ELSE COULD THIS FOOL POSSIBLY...?
Aaron’s head: oh, well. I should’ve guessed.
The next morning...
Yellow: sigh. Umm... sorry about last night. It’s just that I never knew Pokemon were suppose to evolve... so when all of a sudden Ratty started changing, I... well... anyway...
Blue: ...
Yellow: but it doesn’t matter what it looks like! Ratty is RATTY! I won’t let it bother me anymore!
Blue: you know, if you really don’t want a Pokemon to evolve... all you have to do is cancel it..
Aaron: when it starts to shudder like it did yesterday open the Poke-Dex and hit the ‘cancel’ button. The pulse emitted from the Poke-Dex will stop the evolution.
Blue: one of the privileges of having a Poke-Dex. You don’t know about Pokemon... you can’t capture anything... you treat your Poke-Dex like a toy...
Yellow: Blue...
Blue: listen! If you’re going to go up against the Elite Four... then you’d better decide. Are you a trainer- or not!?
The next morning...
Aaron: HEY! Yellow hurry up!!
Yellow: oh, okay!
Aaron: man...
We travel to a nearby town to restock and grab a meal too....
The restock could last for a few weeks since there’s little food left at the town store. At the Poke-Centre... I also send all my extra Pokemon to the box system and wait for Blue and Yellow outside...
Blue: now... We’re all done... let’s head back.
Aaron and Yellow: okay!
On the way back.
Aaron: hey Yellow.
Yellow: hm?
Aaron: what’s with those flowers?
Yellow: oh! It for Kitty!
Aaron: who?
Yellow: my Caterpie.
Aaron: oh!
Another week has passed, and our training is progressing well to max Lv.35.
Aaron: okay Luke... we’re done... good job!
With Blue looking at Yellow’s progress with his new Pokemon... I continue training on Rein to increase her level to my max level...
And watching at Yellow’s progress... it’s...
Aaron: maybe Yellow’s training needs a little more practice...
A few hours later...
After the training... I look at the barren land and feel the surface...
Aaron: the smoothness suggest that the land once had life and it got destroyed as if it just disappeared all of a sudden...
Blue: ! a presence...
Yellow: WAA!! Bl- bl- Blue!! We have trouble!!!
Aaron: oh boy... Mankey... these are a whole troop of them...
Blue: when they stalk like this... it means they’re very hungry...
Yellow: hungry!?
Blue: and they’re on the move... their food supply has been dwindling at an alarming rate. At this point, they’ll eat just about...
Aaron: anything!?
Blue: yes.
Yellow: EEK!
Blue: this is going to be a great test for you.
Aaron: let’s smash ‘em! Bronx, GUST!!! Keep going... Rein... Psychic!
Blue: Aaron! Yellow!! Do you see that Primape sitting alone, away from the battle? Can you lure it away from the group?
Yellow and Aaron: What!?
Blue: that’s the pack leader! I’ll take the rest!! When you get far enough away- open your Poke-Dex got it!?
Aaron: got it! Let’s go Yellow!!
Yellow: Doduo!
Aaron: after the pack leader...
Dody: poke!
Aaron: RUN!!!
Blue: I was right... without the Primeape’s command’s the pack is confused. Now!
Aaron: whoa!!
Blue: the Tri-Attack. First time I tried it. Good thing Porygon’s electronic beam transfer worked. Making use of the fact that it could move through cyberspace. I transferred it from one Poke-Dex to another. Porygon is essentially a living computer program.
Aaron: and with the pack leader down, the pack can only flee...
Blue: you moved pretty well. Real battle is definitely well the best train—
Aaron: the healing sequence is happening again...
Yellow: you had to find food for all your pack didn’t you, poor thing?
Aaron: man lives by destroying my friend, but... some have the will to heal... I like saving Pokemon too Yellow... here you go...
Given up: berries (x15), tuna cans (x5) and banana (x6)
Aaron: enough to feed for pack...
Primape: pri... ape! (thank you very much)
Later...after the battle near the sea
Yellow: I would love to learn more from you... but I think I might become too... dependent. So we decided to go alone! Thanks for everything. At least I understand much more about the reality of battles now.
Blue: the best way to get anywhere from here is by sea. You can’t surf yet... Right? So use the passenger boat over there.
Aaron: I’ll take Yellow there.
Blue: thanks.
Yellow: see you later, Blue!!
Aaron: so... we’re on the S.S. Anne... the most luxurious passenger boat on this side of the region... nice...
Yellow: yeah... it’s so big and shiny... and big!
Aaron: man... you need some cool time and we should get our drinks now.
CHAPTER 6: THE SECRETS OF THE VERMILION HARBOUR
At the 2nd class cabin no. 25...
Aaron: man... (Land’s on bed) I need a break....
Bronx: Pell-lip...zzz
Aaron: you said it Bronx!
Luke: Lu....luc! (Yeah! Me too!)
Shock: Pika pi... (Yeah!)
Marco: mag-mar! (Mmm... comfy...)
Leafy: Lea...Leaf... (I need some mud... or water...)
Rein: (I’m tired too!)
Aaron and his Pokemon: zzz (snoring sound)
While we’re sleeping away...
SFX: boom sound
Aaron: (awake) what was that!?
After the explosion happened... something unusual happened...
Aaron: guys wake up! The ship’s tilting!!! Return!
I manage to get outside and I follow Yellow to the engine room.
Aaron: Yellow! What going on!?
Yellow: I just saw a3 people coming out from this room just now!
Aaron: yup. Definitely sabotage... Rein picked up traces of a bomb and another Psychic attack...
Yellow: hmm.
???: as I thought! Two fiends have destroyed the engine room! Well then- take that! PAY DAY!
Yellow: what do you think you’re doing!/
Aaron: HEY!!! MY MONEY!!!
???: disgraceful! To think those mere children could be culprits! But I can’t forgive anyone who harms my beloved ship!
Aaron: HEY! YOU GOT IT ALL WRONG OLD MAN!!! Ouch!
Yellow: ouch! He’s not listening
SFX: gwiii!!!
Aaron: oh boy!
Yellow: watch out!
Pika appeared...
Pika: Pika!
Yellow: good work, Pika!
Aaron: oh boy... it’s flooding... there’s some big hole here... Bronx... Ice Beam!
Yellow: nice move Aaron!! Okay... Pika... fill me in.
Aaron: Rein... info!
Yellow: the passengers are in danger too. We must hurry and go above.
Aaron: and Rein said that the real culprit’s identity is pretty blurry!
Outside...
???2: (laughing)! Don’t tell us you forgot about TEAM ROCKET!!
Aaron: oh man... not these guys again... Team...Rocket...
???: oh, no... We’re up against Team Rocket...!?
Aaron: let’s go... Yellow!
???: h-hey you... Wait...!
Yellow: you ain’t gonna get away with this!
???2: and who are you!?
Aaron: (grin)
Aaron: okay guys... let’s go!!!
Now it’s about us against the so-called Team Rocket’s...
???2: are those our opponent’s!? this will be amusing!!
???2: Enkas! Wheezing!
???2 b: Hypno! Slowpoke!
???2 c: Voltorb! Electrode!
Aaron: LET’S GO!!!
???2: who are these stupid kids!?
Yellow: I am Amarillo! They call me Yellow!!
Aaron: and I’m Aaron! And thou shale not hurt anyone anymore!!!
???2: what the-
???: instead of attacking... they’re scattering!?
Aaron: Rein... Luke... you’re with us! The rest handle the others!
Instead on planning to get around them... I want to battle with all three of them at once...
Aaron: attack... Rein... set 2 Thunder-punch! And Luke... Karate-Chop! Everyone help the passengers!!
The attack gives out a small fog which disappears within a few minutes and with a sudden confusion attack... I can only think of everyone’s safety...
Yellow: Kitty! String Shot!!
Aaron: nice save Yellow!!!
Aaron’s head: he he... this is gonna work...
Yellow: everybody!! Swim towards the harbor!!
Aaron: okay... Bronx... help Omny... Ice Beam!!!
Yellow: the passengers are all safely at the docks. We’re the only ones on the boat.
Aaron: care to give up?
???: give up!? Enkas! Wheezing! Acid!! Sludge!!
Aaron and Yellow: whoa!!
Aaron: we’re heading towards Davy Jones’s locker!!!
Gravy: Grav....
Yellow: that’s the way, Gravy
Aaron: okay!! Shock, thunderbolt!!
Yellow: Ratty, cut the ship!
Aaron: so... will you give up yet!?
Yellow: or do I tell Gravy to let go!?
???: we... give up...
Aaron and Yellow: Laughing!!
Location: Vermilion Harbor
I’ve been waiting at the harbor until I hear a special legend...
Mr. Fan: tell me... are you two familiar with the Moon Stone?
Aaron: yeah! It’s inability to evolve Pokemon... like that?
Mr. Fan: that’s the one. However, there’s actually four other types... there’s the Leaf Stone, Fire Stone, Water Stone and Thunder Stone! You know that it disappears after one use, right?
Aaron and Yellow: yes.
Mr. Fan: but somewhere, there are four very rare stones that won’t lose it’s power even after using it. People have sought them for a long time. According to legend, those very four stones, lie at the bottom of Vermilion Harbor!
Yellow: and... does this have a connection with Red?
Mr. Fan: the connection is this. For years most people laugh of the legends of those stones... until two years ago... something happened that changed their minds. All thanks to Red! At the time of the incident, Red, having just arrived at this harbor was flung into the sea with his Poliwhirl. The Poliwhirl that saved his life, after quite suddenly... becoming a Poliwrath!! So I think the Poliwhirl encountered something in that water that evolved it... maybe those four stones of evolution do lie at the bottom of the sea! As for the rest... I can’t seem to remember...
Aaron: maybe those stones lie at the bottom... power of evolving...
Yellow: off we go!
Mr. Fan: wait! You’re not thinking of going after those stones...? they’re suppose to be a heavily guarded sanctuary! You can’t just waltz in there!!!
Aaron: let’s go. Thanks for the info old man!! Maybe we can find some hints about Red.
Location: beyond the harbor
While we’re floating on Bronx’s back with Yellow’s Kitty’s silk float tied to it’s tail... Yellow sit on it... as for me... well... zzz
Yellow: AARON WAKE UP!!!!
Aaron: huh? WHOA!!! THAT’S BIG!!!
We got trapped by the Tentacruel and being dragged underwater.
Aaron: huh? A baby Tentacool... it needs help.. okay... I know you don’t like water Luke... but you gotta help ‘em!
Yellow: with the help... I don’t think both of us can last underwater.
Luke and Gravy: lift the heavy boulder freeing the baby Tentacool.
Aaron: okay... now to get them back...
I feel pain all over me.... because of the pressure... maybe... I don’t know...
SFX: drip... drip....
Aaron: nnnh... urgh... my head... GASP! I’m alive.... hey... the baby... thanks...
Yellow: thank goodness your alive Aaron.
Aaron: thanks...
A sudden mysterious light gleamed from one side.
Aaron: an evolution stone.
Yellow: just only the Leaf stone...
Aaron: wait... you want me to take it!?
Wild Tentacool: cool...( yes...)
Aaron: okay.
Yellow: all of the stone’s are missing.... fire, water and electric...
Aaron: maybe it caused Red’s Poliwhirl to evolve... oh well... at least we can see this sight... and a little present from the ocean too.
Back on land...
I waited outside to heal Luke from his wet fur...
Aaron: sorry Luke... it’s just an emergency....
Luke: lu... Lucario! LUCARIO LUCARIO LUCARIO!!! ( well... it’s fine! BUT YOU SHOULD’VE WARNED ME ABOUT IT YOU IDIOT!!!)
Aaron: you don’t have to be angry ya know!
CHAPTER 7: BREATH OF DRAGONAIR!
Later that night...
At night fall... we tried to look for another water-type that’s meant for Yellow. (But it seems that he forgotten that I have a water-type but it can only transport one person only)
I’ve already set up camp for the night and ready to sleep.
Aaron: okay. Dinner’s ready, it’s late and I’ve got nothing to do... man this is boring!!! (Lie’s on back)
Aaron: those stars... I wonder... if she’s looking at it now... (YAWN) zzz
SFX: swoooo.... wave crashes!!!
Aaron: (wakes up) huh? A wave!! Oh no... YELLOW!!!
At the beach.
Aaron: YELLOW!!! Are you okay?
Yellow: yeah...
Aaron: who are you?
???: many thanks, yes! Saved my life, you did!
Aaron: why are you out at the open ocean, at the middle of the night especially?
???: practicing this, I was!
Yellow: a surfing contest....
???: ooo... yes! Call me the Swimmer, they do! Taken part, I have, oh hoho... many many contests all over the region! I live for competition, I do!! Last touches, that’s what we made for tomorrow, when suddenly came the huge huge wave, it did! But no hope now, no no no. and even the qualifying rounds, I got...
Aaron: hmmm... a Dragonair...
Swimmer: oh, yes!! The competition, you should, enter, yes! Will lend you my Slowpoke, I will!
Yellow: really!? Are you sure!?
Swimmer: for you help, it’s my least!!
Aaron: I’m in... let’s do it!!
The next day...
Location: Vermilion Harbor.
Aaron: okay Bronx... this is your first time for sports... remember... speed is the key.
Bronx: nod
Yellow: I’ve gotta win it!
Aaron: something’s not right... the air feel’s different... as if it’s out of balance... Yellow!!
Bronx turns to Yellow and a big wave interrupted Bronx’s route...
Aaron: what... is this!?
At land.
Aaron: (kuff... kuff) n-no... VERMILION CITY!!!
???: where are you!? Come on out!! ... Moved on already, mm? oh well... let’s go Dragonair.
Aaron: Yellow... we gotta go after that guy!!
Yellow: okay!! Mr. Swimmer! We’re going after him! With Doduo’s speed, we can cover it on land
Swimmer: what!?
Yellow: I want to give you back your Slowpoke. I don’t want any of your friends to get hurt!
Swimmer: but that Pokemon can Surf! You can’t go after him!
Aaron: we’ll have to fight him mister!
Swimmer: fighting like that, no no no!
Yellow: we’re being followed by some kind of enemy. If he’s one of those enemies... and that’s why the city was destroyed... then its our duty!
Aaron: Yellow, we’ll lose sight of him if we keep doing this! If I even use Bronx, we’ll lose sight of him pretty quick too!
Yellow: Pika! We’re counting on you!
As I believe... the plan is to use Pika to trail that man on the Dragonair. If it works... we’ll find out what’s that man’s motive!
???: why have you followed me!?
Yellow: tell us! Why did you destroy the city!?
???: I was looking for something... and the buildings were blocking my view. Pity it was a wasted effort.
Aaron: just for that... countless Pokemon and people would’ve been...
???: they didn’t die... the surfing contest is quite the event even for Vermilion City. The city should have been empty.
Aaron and Yellow: what!?
???: well, a trainer or two might have lost a part or something but... heh! And of course since you followed me... YOU’LL have to die too!!!
Aaron: what!? Let... go of... us!!
Yellow: I’ve heard of Team Rocket using Pokemon for evil but... I never... gah! Heard of this!!
???: evil... ha! Is that all I was doing? I had no idea... (laughing) but look at it from a Pokemon’s perspective. Would you want to be kept as a PET in some suffocating little city like that? Human and Pokemon are diametrically opposed! All humans, except for the elite trainers, will be destroyed!! That is the mission of Lance of the Elite Four!!
The Dragonair wrapped us tight and I even can’t reach my Poke-balls.
Aaron: h-hey! We’re... floating!!
Lance: of course! Dragonair can skim the skies just like the sea. And it is my gift... to control power of the dragons!!!
SFX: crackle!!! Hiss!!!
Aaron: a... storm!? The Dragonair caused all this!?
Lance: do you see the power I wield? Even the SKY obeys my every whim! The Elite Four and our allied trainers are all the humans the world NEEDS!
Aaron: what’s that!?
Yellow: Pika, no!
Lance: this Dragonair’s HYPER-BEAM can flash in any direction! No matter how quickly you scamper around... you are simple to catch!
Aaron: no!!
Lance: I held back. It won’t die. Hm? So THAT’S it! The Pikachu with a scar on one ear! So you’re the ones Lorelei and Agatha were after!
Aaron: save the stuff later! Let us go!
Lance: heh! they’ll both be very happy if I deliver this Pikachu to them... though I REALLY couldn’t care less!
Yellow: Pika’s trapped. The new attack!
Aaron: Pika! SUBSTITUTE!!!
Yellow: take him down!!!
Lance: I told you I was holding back... didn’t I? If you want to be food for the Magikarp that badly then... DRAGON-RAGE!
Aaron and Yellow: gaah!!!!!
Being defeated that badly against the Elite Four is a bad idea... but at least we’re still alive.
Aaron: my scuba gear... good thing it’s easy to use... gotta save Yellow! Huh? Pika’s substitute... its repelling water! I think it’s a good idea!
Yellow: that’s right! Surf away!!!
Lance: no... It’s impossible
Aaron: we’ll take you down for sure... Shock!
Yellow: Pika!
Aaron and Yellow: THUNDERBOLT!!!
After the explosion!
Aaron: he’s gone... what he was thinking... a trainer that likes Pokemon... but despises human being... for their sake!
Yellow: what do you think, Pika, Shock? Will your lives be better without any of us?
Shock and Pika: pi?
Aaron: yeah... it’s too bad... even Pokemon needs a gentle heart... as FRIENDS.
Shock and Pika: Chu!
Aaron: okay... let’s... GO!! To a land at the end of the sea!!
I catch some sea Pokemon while on our way to our journey to search for Red and so far... it’s already updated
Poke-Dex:
Local:
Pokemon Seen/Found: 144
Pokemon Owned: 144
International:
Pokemon Seen/Found: 151
Pokemon owned: 151
Prof. Oak’s ranking: the sea is a good place to find some Pokemon. If you manage to get them all (common/not rare), I might reward you with something! Good luck!
CHAPTER 8: UNEXPECTED MEETINGS!
We arrive at Seafoam Islands... they say it’s where Red met a legendary Pokemon, Articuno. According to my uncle at the geological museum, the islands were connected to each other by a tectonic plate that occurred millions of years ago and now connected like sisters.
Anyway, after a long day on the ocean, we take a break by the shore of the islands. Yellow looks for other Pokemon (and waste some spare time) and I’m busy navigating through the natural maze of salt water and storms on my map. I also turned on my iPhone and I hear about the weather news.
Weather reporter: ... and as for Route 20, weather is clear perfect for visiting Cinnabar Island. And now we’re with our special guest, Mr. Pokemon from the Jhoto region.
Mr. Pokemon: we are suppose to be expected that most natural/wild Pokemon will go berserk or migrate due to unnatural force of power
News’s reporter: that’s all for today’s news, see you all tonight at 8 p.m.
Aaron: that’s weird... henh! Now... let’s see... keep going... 2.5 km west and continue on to the island.
I finished navigating and meet up with Yellow, which he just arrived from sea.
Aaron: hey, Yellow! Whatcha got there?
Yellow: an injured Pokemon.
I’m surprised to see a Farfetch’ed with its injured wing.
Aaron: Yellow! Use this.
Yellow: thanks. What happened?
Wild Farfetch’ed: Farr! Farr! (I don’t know where my nest is and the forest attacked me)
Aaron: well... that’s obvious... it’s too easy to get lost here.
Yellow: so the Farfetch’ed said that it changes every time it comes through! We’ve gotta find a way not to get lost here. (...) I got it! Caterpie! That way we won’t get lost... and now... we walk in a straight line!
We walk straight all the way until...
SFX: ping!
Aaron: huh? This... its Caterpie’s thread!?
Yellow: that’s strange... we should’ve been walkin’ in a straight line... WE’VE BEEN WALKING IN CIRCLES!!! WE’RE LOST!!!
Aaron: this is bad! Somthin’ is not right!! Huh!?
A coconut attacked us and...
Aaron: Luke, Karate Chop! Darn! These fruit just keep coming!!
Yellow: huh? What now!? We gotta get outta here! Dody! Get us outta here!!
Aaron: over there! A cliff... we can see more clearly!
Yellow: !
What used to be a forest full of Grass-type Pokemon are completely bare...
Yellow: luckily we manage to find your nest, huh!?
Wild Farfetch’ed: Farr! Farr! (Yeah! Thanks to you!)
Yellow: haha! You don’t have to thank me! I had fun too!
Aaron: don’t worry lil’ fella, I’ll give you a home at my place. Poke-ball!! Now we’ll find a nearby centre and send you to my home.
Aaron’s Head: something’s not right... a natural disaster? No! Nothing happened yesterday, it would’ve have popped the news about it... unless... an incredible force is in a presence... what’s going on!?
We leave Seafoam Islands and reached the next islands that have a nearby Centre.
At the island.
Aaron: a volcano... looks magnificent... it could be dormant for years... Maybe.
???: your right my friend. Welcome to Cinnabar Island. I’m what you call a junior trainer.
Yellow: wait. Old man Blaine lives’ here? Maybe we should look around...
Junior Trainer: yep. Let’s see... this is good. Hmm....
Aaron: Whatcha doin there kid?
Junior Trainer: oh. A friend of mine asked me to help him train for a Pokemon battle.
Yellow: training...
Junior Trainer: yup. And here’s where we do it...
Aaron: yikes!!!
Junior Trainer: and that... is the guy who’s doing it!
???2: okay! Give me your best shot.
Junior Trainer: you asked for it! Here it comes!
Aaron: whoa... a fast-ball!
Yellow: what!?
Junior Trainer: hey Arcanine! After I throw... EMBER! Now!!
Aaron and Yellow: FIREBALLS!!! And so many! A narrow bridge like that will lose his balance and he’s finished!!!
Aaron’s head: again!? What Pokemon is he using... I can’t tell... it’s too far.
???2: (phew) thanks. Here’s a little something for today. I’ll be counting on you again.
Junior Trainer: thanks... it’s my pleasure.
Aaron and Yellow: that voice... that face... I feel like I’ve seen that person... or heard it before...
???2: you want to come with me?
Aaron and Yellow: !
???2: this is my secret laboratory. It opens off the back of my gym. Welcome to Cinnabar Gym... Yellow and Aaron!
Aaron: !! How’d you know our names!?
We suddenly feel shocked about it...
Aaron and Yellow: glasses? And a fake mustache!? And a WIG!? Y-you’re Blaine!
CHAPTER 9: THE TIME TO STRIKE!
We’re shocked to see an old friend in disguise.
Yellow: a disguise?
Blaine: I never know who might be watching me... plus... well... I burnt my real mustache during a flame-training accident. But, at least your timing is PERFECT. I just happen to have received a message from Brock. But since we may be bugged, we have to keep it short. Blaine here.
Brock (on screen): Blaine! Around the far side of Mt. Moon... I’ve seen Red!
Blaine: WHAT!? Is he alright!?
Brock: frankly... I don’t know! You see... he was here... but he isn’t now!
Aaron: what happened to him!?
Brock: well... I was exploring the area behind Mt. Moon, when... I found Red.
Aaron: no way... he’s... on ice!
Yellow: It’s Red! RED!
Blaine: Yellow! Pika! Calm Down! Brock, that isn’t Red... is it?
Brock: good eye, Blaine. It’s just a lump of ice shaped like our missing friend... it’s hollow inside... the backside’s opened like a used cocoon.
Aaron: so that’s what he means... “He was here but not now”...
Yellow: ... Red escaped from the ice cocoon... after being frozen by an ice attack!?
Brock: how else can you explain it? I’ve heard something like this before- - two years ago, Red was encased in ice during the Sylph Company battle. Same kind of attack, I’d say.
Blaine: but there’s no way to escape an attack like that on one’s own! So there was someone helping... but who? And why!? Someone’s cutting in on the transmission!!
Misty (on screen): Blaine!! There’s trouble!! Pewter City is being attacked by an ARMY of Pokemon!!
Blaine, Aaron and Yellow: MISTY!?
Misty: and not just Pewter either!
Blaine: what!?
Misty: my city, Cerulean, and Erika’s city, Celadon,-
Aaron: it’s cut off!!
Blaine: Brock! Did you hear that!? Get off that mountain now!
Brock: count on it. Pewter... is MY city!
I fear that all the three cities suddenly attacked, like a planned stealth assault... I believe that this would’ve been planed for years... and... I’m worried about home.
Blaine: so... the Elite Four have launched their attack at last! Which... could be a disaster... or a perfect opportunity?
Aaron: what do you mean?
Blaine: through my investigations, I’ve pinpointed the location of the Elite Four headquarters- - THERE! An island... but not any island on any map! I’m wagering that the Elite Four are expecting me to go aid of Misty and the others. But we can go behind their backs and attack the island now- - you two and ME!
Aaron and Yellow: WHAT!?
Aaron: sounds like a plan. I’ll be easy for us to attack at nightfall. OKAY! We’re in!
Before we get ready... Blaine falls to the ground...
Yellow: !? Blaine! What’s WRONG!?
Blaine: it’s nothing... I’m giving you a map. Will you head out before me?
Aaron: what!?
Blaine: it would be... more... to our advantage... if we follow... different routes. You’ll hit land... on the opposite side of the island. I’ll... make some... preparations... and follow you... understood?
Aaron: yes... let’s go Yellow! Bronx... SURF!!
Yellow: mm... Let’s go. Pika!
We’re on our way to hit land and arrive at an unknown island that never existed, headquarters of our biggest threat, The Elite Four’s, Cerise Island!!!
We arrive earlier than expected; we started to rest up till night and ready to battle... the evening arrived and we’d rather travel light so I only leave my unimportant things back at Cinnabar Island.
Aaron: okay guys... we gotta fill up so we can fight some tough enemies!
Later that night...
Aaron: the stars... I just hope for the best...
I’m sleeping away until the time is right to move on and meet up at the rendezvous point... I suddenly wake up by a mysterious person
???: well, well... what’s getting you down!?!
CHAPTER 10: AN ENEMY OF MY ENEMY IS MY FRIEND!
Aaron: what the!?
Yellow: miss Green... and Bill!?
Aaron: who!?
Green: I’ve heard of you... Aaron Carter... I’m Green... a friend of both Yellow and Red!
Bill: w’ll howdy! Long time no see!
Green: hey, Yellow. We heard you might be having some trouble... plus it’s an excuse for a vacation... to the headquarters island of the Elite Four.
Yellow: we both came ashore in the afternoon. Aaron planed to hide until its dark.
Green: anyway, now that GREEN’S here, the enemy’s going to think twice! And it feels like winter on Cerise Island, eh?
Aaron: oh yea! Hey bill, why’re you with Green?
Bill: well it’s kinda long story but...
Green: we don’t have time to waste! Let’s go, Jiggly!
Aaron: how’re we supposed to ride on that thing?
Green: this.
Jiggly: (expand) puff... puff....
Green: and now... Horsea! Smokescreen please! And perfect.
Bill: Don’cha think this is kinda little overkill?
Green: we can’t be too careful. Here. Take a look.
Bill: so that’s why it’s so cold! We’d be fightin’ every step if we’re on the ground!
Green: Jiggly airlines aren’t the quickest way to travel, but it’s sure the quietest! Okay, Yellow—which way do we go?
Yellow: um, well... I do have a map... but... I don’t know how to read it! I think it may be... this way?
Bill: Please! Gimme a look at that!
Green: Bill! Don’t move so much! It’s tight enough as it is!
Aaron: ow... stop it!
Bill: hey now! If I don’t try to- -
Green: watch it!
Yellow: hey!
Aaron: no. the map!
Bill: darn it!!
A Slowbro picked up the map...
Aaron’s head: Com’on throw it away!
And with sudden action... the Slowbro just eat the map!
Aaron: no way!
Bill: what’re we gonna do now!?
Green: this is your fault, Bill!
Yellow: look!
Bill: where’s it goin?
Aaron: perhaps to tell its trainer?
Yellow: what should we do Green?
Green: Horsea! We’ll wait here until the Slowbro is out of sight! We’ll follow it once we have enough distance.
Bill: are you crazy? How do we follow what we can’t see!?!
Aaron: simple. Horsea will drip oil one by one so we can follow it.
Bill: oh yea. Wait a minute! How’d you know?
Aaron: my Dex can exchange information with other Poke-Dex owners. You know... via Bluetooth!
Bill: oh yea...
Yellow: we gotta hurry. The three cities are having a hard time fending off those attacks!
Aaron: let’s go!
After we follow the drip of oil to the location...
Green: we should be coming to the other side of the island soon.
Bill: that’s gotta be it.
Green: ... did Horsea go... INSIDE!? We can’t risk just dashing in after... we’ve gotta learn more! Huh?
Bill: a Clefable...?
Aaron: has sensitive hearing... even a pin drop feels like a normal whisper, meaning it’s like 0.622 miles away.
Green: Yellow!
Yellow: okay! I can hear... voices... people talking... the expression... surprised but not afraid. I think its someone we know, right?
Aaron: let’s find out, shall we?
???: well, hello there.
Aaron: !! No way!!
Green: Team Rocket!!! Blaine... and Blue!?!
Blaine: I’m glad you two got here safely, Aaron and Yellow... but who are these two with you?
Yellow: these are Green and Bill. They followed me and came to help. And... Who are they?
Blaine: ah, yes...
Blue: Lt. Surge, Koga and Sabrina... ex-members of Team Rocket. We’ve just met up here too.
Koga: you want to know why we’re here? Simple. We want to defeat the Elite Four too. And that’s all.
Blaine: Defeat the Elite Four!?
Lt. Surge: I suppose we should let you in on it. You FOOLS actually thought you had eliminated Team Rocket, didn’t you
Sabrina: Just before the Silph Company Building collapsed, we all slipped out... and have been rebuilding, waiting for our next chance!!
Koga: but then the mainland comes under attack, people are being slaughtered. We can’t have that in an area WE’RE supposed to control!!
Sabrina: you did come here to defeat the Elite Four too, I trust? If you promise not to get in our way... then... just this once, we’ll deign to work with you.
Aaron: (gulp)
Lt. Surge: you know the saying... “an enemy of my enemy is my friend” eh?
Aaron: that’s so old...
Blue: “deign” to work with us, huh? That’s what WE should be saying.
Koga: is it now?
Blue: I came here for a reason. To nail this Agatha of the Elite Four with her grudge against my grandfather. That’s it. If you give your word not to stand in the way of that, I don’t care WHAT you do.
Sabrina: heh. So it’s settled then. Alakazam!!
Aaron: (tap) well... the spoon of destiny?
Sabrina: I believe you’re familiar with it...
Aaron: my dad teaches me how to use it.
Sabrina: but, with the mainland under attack, you might assumed Cerise was lightly defended. In fact, none of the Elite Four have moved from the island.
Everyone: what!?
Sabrina: since there’s 9 of us, we will take them in groups of two-three. Hold that spoon and focus your will to fight. Alakazam will sense your thoughts and pair you up according to the spoons of destiny!!
Aaron: okay! (in head) I have to help Yellow to find Red... that’s my only mission... and defeat the Elite Four he fought with!!
I open my eyes... and everybody’s stunned. Well, not everyone... Blue and Team Rocket only aren’t stunned about it.
Aaron: no way!! It’s split!!
Sabrina: the first pair is settled... this is a first...
Aaron: it’s pointed... to both Blaine and Yellow!?
Sabrina: the second and third pairs! So it’s decided! How amusing... we’ve been given our foe from the Silph Company battle...
Bill: it’s not bent!!
Sabrina: the spoon of destiny will not react to one that does not have the will to fight... or is not worthy of a partner!
Lt. Surge: huh. Mine’s not bent either! If the pattern holds true, I suppose my partner should be Red. But since he isn’t available... (Laughing) we’re left with each other!! Come on!!
Bill: what!? Hey!!!
Koga: now... according to our reconnaissance, this cave continues deep into the heart of the island like a maze. The four groups will split here and look for the headquarters separately.
Yellow: Blue’s determined!
Aaron and Blaine: any you Yellow?
Yellow: yes SIR!
Aaron: let’s go... DEFEAT THE ELITE FOUR!!!
CHAPTER 11: THE FINAL BATTLE!
We’re on Cerise Island, the HQ of our threat, The Elite Four. Our mission is to defeat them. We manage to enter half-way to our goal... but while we’re on our way... things get complicated....
Yellow: Pika! What’s the matter!? I understand being on an enemy’s island makes you uneasy but...
Blaine: Yellow, can I take a look at Red’s Poke-Dex!?
Yellow: s-sure.
Blaine: I told you about the new command, “Pikachu Emotion Mode” that Professor Oak just put in, right?
Yellow: yes but, I haven’t been able to use the command very well... since I can communicate with Pokemon much better on my own, I haven’t...
Blaine: whoa! These levels are off the charts!
Yellow: I sense that Pika is on the verge of remembering something important... but I’m unable to read it’s thoughts clearly...
Blaine: Yellow, I’ve been thinking about this... we found out from that man they called “super nerd” that red’s battle was on Mt. Moon. This Pikachu should’ve known that already, right? Since it was actually there? So why, if Pikachu’s leading you to Red, didn’t it take you there? Could it be... not because it didn’t choose to take you there... but it COULDN’T!?
Yellow: couldn’t ... take me there?
Blaine: try this on, when Pikachu was separated from Red, it sustained incredible injury. Physically... and emotionally. Possibly including short-term memory loss.
Aaron: like a saying, “to lose is to find, and to find is to lose”.
Blaine: exactly!!
Yellow: Pika...
Blaine: that scar doesn’t seem to heal... maybe there’s a psychological scar too...
Yellow: Pika... is this true?
We continue our path until we see something unusual...
Aaron: Blaine!! Yellow!! Look!!
What we see in front of us, is a window of some kind...
Aaron: there’s Bill... and Lt. Surge too....
Yellow: ow! What is this!?
Blaine: I think we’re being blocked by something!!
Yellow: Bill!! Bill!! They can’t hear us...?
Blaine: no! we can see them from this side... but I don’t think they can see or hear us! It’s almost like a magic mirror.
Aaron: Rein! Try to scan the mirror...
Rein: master... I sense that it contains not only natural glass and rocks... but also traces of barrier and Mirror wall...
Aaron: I see...
Yellow: they can’t last much longer! We gotta help them, Pika!
Blaine: your right. Rapidash!!
Aaron: yeah! Luke!!
Blaine: fire spin!
Yellow: thunder shock!!
Aaron: Rein, set 3 Hyper Beam!! Luke, set 2 Brick-Break!!
Blaine: darn! Not even a dent!
???: you on the other side of the barrier! Listen well! I tolerate no interference in this battle! Depart with haste!
Aaron and Yellow: Blaine!?
Blaine: not something we can agree to! Rapidash! Fire spin!
???: bear the consequences!!
Aaron: no!!!
Now we’re practically trapped within a wild Onix... Luke is the only one who’s still free... and they returned... to my Poke-ball. We have almost lost all hope!!
Aaron: DARN IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
But just we really lost hope... a miracle...
Aaron: r...Red... it’s Red!?
Blaine: I can’t believe this! We’d almost given up!
Yellow: Red! Red!
Pika: pikapi!!!!!
Yellow: RED!!!!!!!!!!
Aaron: THANK GOD! He’s safe...
Blaine: Yellow!! Aaron!! Grab hold of something! There’s a torrent coming our way!...
I just feel relieved but something is not right!! We didn’t notice about the giant pressure pushed away Yellow’s straw hat! I’m surprised...
Blaine: Tsunami!!!!
Yellow: Reeeed!!!!!
Aaron: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We’re swept away from where we are and pushed around through the currents like being trashed by a Gyarados....
We land somewhat near the core of the island...
Aaron: nnh... urgh... my head..... Urgh... huh... (Blink) guys... huh y...you... you’re...
???: rest Aaron... you need to rest... you will accomplish your mission... you... are the one... who will... release the warrior within...
Aaron: (awake) aaah!!!! (Huff...huff) a dream... Yellow... hey... Yellow... wake up... Blaine...
Blaine: uhh... Aaron...
Aaron: look at Yellow... he.... she’s a girl...
Blaine: I know...
Yellow: please... I... only wanted to save Red...
Aaron: I’m sorry... but... we have to go back up there again!
Yellow: will you two keep this a secret?
Aaron: yes...
Blaine: yes...
Yellow: (put back straw hat) thank you. Oh no... my sketchbook, Red’s Poke-Dex!!
Blaine: we’ll be fine on our own... Growlithe... let’s go!
Aaron: yeah....
Yellow: mm!!
???: well... well... well... if it isn’t Yellow, Aaron and an old man.
Aaron: who’s there!?
Yellow: Pika! Flash!
Blaine: its...
Aaron: Lance...
Lance: well... this is a surprise... I believe your ready to battle...
Yellow: yeah... we’re ready!
Blaine: and no holding back!
Aaron: you’re going down!!!
Lane: henh! If you think your going to battle me... (swoosh)! Aaron Carter... you must enter this tunnel... you will meet an opponent so powerful that he even defeated a difficult enemy!!
Aaron: fine!
Yellow: but... Aaron... we can’t do this without you.
Blaine: be careful Aaron!
Aaron: yes sir!
Lance: enter!
Aaron: and good luck to you too!
After inside the tunnel... I find touch the sides... and I know it’s not a trap...
Aaron: Shock! Flash! Thanks...
We moved on to the light and I look at the sign... ( this way) I followed it and it reveals a private battle arena.. and my opponent is in front of me... a match against the 8th Pokemon League Champion.
Aaron: so... you’re my opponent.
???: ...
Aaron: so... can’t talk eh? Okay...
I walk forward to the centre.. and the arena split into a dangerous pit... I remember this from the movie Tron!
Aaron: oh... okay...
???: go... Arbok...
Aaron: Rein!.. Psychic!!! Who are you!?
???: return... go.. Lunatune...
Aaron: too simple, return... Rein... go... Bronx!!
???: keke... Rock tomb...
Aaron: missed me... HYDRO PUMP!!!
???: heh... go... Wishcash!!

???: spark...
Aaron: Karate Chop!!

Aaron: again... eh?

Aaron: oh no you don’t, Low Kick!! And Mega Kick!!!
???: hmph! Double slap!!!
Aaron: no more! Change set 2, DYNAMIC-PUNCH!!!
???: return... Altaria!!
Aaron: go... Shock!!
???: dragon-breath...
Aaron: THUNDERBOLT!!!
???: heh!? Return... go... Slaking!!!
Aaron: return, go Leafy...

Aaron: Sunny day and Solar-beam!!!
???: I save my best for last... Dragonite!!
Aaron: return, and Marco!!
???: Hyper-beam...
Aaron: no Marco!! Go... Rein!!! Thunderbolt!!!
???: ... I lost....
Aaron: that’s it!! Who are you...
???: I...am an.... illusion....
Aaron: what!?
??? Fades
Aaron: wait!!! Who are you!!!
???: ...
Aaron: what is going on...
My match lasted over a hour and a half... and another tunnel.. appeared... I enter it...
Aaron: Rein... do you think it could be another battle...?
Rein: I don’t know master...
I reached outside... and Blaine is down...
Aaron: Blaine!!! Are you okay?
Blaine: urgh... yes... hurry to Yellow... she needs help...
Aaron: yes..
I run as fast as I can digging through the earlier match... it feels as if that guy is my past life... I manage to catch up with Yellow.
Aaron: Yellow... are you okay... are you hurt?
Yellow: no... I’m okay...
Lance: heh... you manage to defeat the man I made...
Aaron: wait... you made the illusion..?
Lance: yes...
Aaron: we’ll finish you off!!
Yellow: let’s go Aaron...
Aaron: Bronx!!!
Lance: impossible... it’s revived.!?
Aaron: I know it’s an illusion...
Yellow: let’s finish this... Pika Thunderbolt!
Aaron: Shock... Thunderbolt!!!
Lance: noooo!!!
After the light appeared... Lance disappeared... only thing that we have to stop is a light so bright... it have a shape of a mysterious Pokemon...
Yellow: we have to stop that Pokemon now!!!
Aaron: let’s go!!! Bronx!!
Yellow: let’s go!
Aaron: no way.... a.... Butterfree!?
Yellow: com’on Aaron!
Aaron: okay!!
At the top...
Yellow: we have to stop it somehow...
Aaron: Yellow... you can’t do it... even with this much energy left...
Yellow: I have to it!!! YAAAHHH!!!!
Aaron: YELLLOWWWWW!!!!!!!
With the glimmering light... we fall to the ground and the Pokemon disappeared... right before I’m knocked out...
3 months later...
The morning... it feels.... as if the battle happened yesterday... even with a cast on my left leg... I feel like every day is a normal day... Yellow... with her identity revealed... wanted to stay with me until she feels better...
Mom: breakfast dear...
Aaron: thanks mom... sighs....
As morning past by... the afternoon news appeared...
