Pokemon Special 1, Aaron [books to read fiction txt] 📗

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:
