//------------------------------// // Viridian City and Route 2 // Story: Austin and the Young Six’s Kanto Adventure // by Fusionflare374 //------------------------------// Viridian City, buildings that looked liked it stretched for miles, a beautiful sight to behold for Austin, Wingdings and the Young Six. The Young Six oh’d and awe’d by the sight. “That city looks huge!” Sandbar said in wonder. “Indeed, it’s a sight to behold, but we should go their and rest for a while.” “Good idea Wingdings, I’m pretty exhausted.” Austin said tiredly. Well according to the booklet, their is a place where we and the Pokémon can rest.” “What’s the place called exactly?” Gallus asked Wingdings. “It’s a place called a Pokemon center. We should be heading their first before we face the gym.” “Right.” The group nodded. The group proceeded to walk down the hill and into Viridian city. As they made their way into the city, they saw citizens looking at them, looking confused. “Uh… why are they looking at us like that?” Sandbar asked to the others. “Well… it’s not often they see a griffon, a changeling, a pony, a hippogriff, a dragon, a yak and a skeleton waking into a city as Pokémon trainers.” “I guess that’s true.” “Yeah, for now let’s get to the Pokémon center before we go to the gym.” “What is this gym for anyway? Is it exercise for us or…” Ocellus asked Wingdings. “These gyms are for you to battle gym leaders with your Pokémon. There is 8 gyms in the region and they are strong to fight, and if you beat them, you receive a gym badge. When you get all 8 badges, you go to the Pokémon league, a place where the strongest trainers will compete with one another. Once their is only one trainer left, they receive a trophy for all the hard work you did, at least that’s what the booklet says.” “Wow… that’s a lot of information. It’s… overwhelming.” “Their is a lot of information yes, but we shouldn’t worry about that for now. For now, let’s go to the Pokemon center to rest for a while.” “Right.” The group said. The group proceeded to walk their way to the Pokemon center. The group made it towards the Pokémon center, seeing the massive structure and a giant red ball on top of the structure. “Woah, this place is massive!” Austin said in amazement. “Indeed, now let’s head inside and rest up a bit.” Wingdings said to the group. The group nodded and they made their way inside. Inside the Pokémon center lobby, their was a desk with a nurse. On the side of the desk, was a Pokémon recovery room. The group went over to the desk and saw the nurse waved to the group. “Welcome to the Pokémon center, I’m nurse Joy. How can I help you today?” Nurse Joy said to the group. “Hello, we will like to heal up our Pokemon please.” Wingdings said to nurse Joy. “Of course, Chansey, could you come here please?” Suddenly, a giant pink creature with a white stone in the middle of its chest came out from the doors with a mini cart. “Chansey.” Chansey said happily. “Who’s that Pokémon?” Austin said as he took out his Pokédex and pointed it at the Chansey. Chansey, the Egg Pokemon. A normal type. The egg Chansey carries is not only delicious but also packed with nutrition. It’s used as a high-class cooking ingredient. The Chansey walked over to the desk with the cart. “Please put your poke balls onto the cart and we will return them to full health.” The group nodded and placed their Pokeballs on the cart. The Chansey smiled and took the cart back to the room it was originally in. Wingdings looked back at nurse Joy. “May we ask if their is a restaurant nearby?” Wingdings said to nurse Joy. “Why yes. We have a canteen here. It’s at the end of the right and go through the two doors.” Nurse Joy said to Wingdings. “Thank you very much Nurse Joy.” “Your very welcome sir. All your Pokémon will be out in a few minutes.” “Thank you.” The group went over to the right side of the Pokemon center and went inside the canteen. The Young Six ordered soup, while Wingdings ordered a salad and Austin ordered a hamburger. Austin looked at the hamburger and started to drool. “I’ve forgotten how hamburgers tasted. They taste amazing!” Austin said. “So… humans eat meat? How come we never see you eat meat?” Gallus said to Austin. “Well I do eat fish, but I mostly eat vegan food.” “But humans eat meat regularly?” Ocellus asked. “Well yeah, we’re omnivores, which means eating meat and plants. For me, it’s mostly all plant food since you guys don’t eat meat.” “Oh… so you’ve haven’t had meat at all?” Sandbar said. “Well, aside of fish, no. But maybe that’s a good thing, plant food give me more energy to do stuff.” “I guess that’s true. So what kind of… hamburger is it anyway?” “It’s cow meat.” Just then, some of the young six eyes widened, except for Gallus and Smolder. “Heh, I could go for some cow meat, ” Smolder and Gallus said. The rest of the young six eyed Gallus and Smolder. “What?” Just then, the group heard a little chime ringing out the lobby. “Oh, our Pokémon must be healed up. Let’s go check when we’re finished.” “Right.” The group said. The group had finished eating their food and started to make their way back to the lobby. As they made it back to the lobby and saw the Chansey with the cart return with their poke balls. “Your Pokémon are fully healed,” nurse Joy said to the group. The group took their poke balls and put them into their bags. “We hope you come back soon.” “We will eventually, thank you.” The group waved nurse Joy goodbye, which she waved goodbye as well. The group exited the Pokémon center and made their way to the Pokémon gym. The gym had orange on the top of the entrance and orange on the side of the entrance. As they were about to head inside, a person stopped them at the entrance. “Hello there trainers. I’ll need to see your seven badges before heading inside.” The person said. “Uh… seven badges?” Austin said confusedly. “Yes, you need seven badges to fight this gym. Do you not have any badges?” “No, we just started our adventure.” Wingdings explained. “Well you will need seven badges to fight the gym leader. No badges, no entry. Sorry fellas.” “That’s alright, but where do we go from here?” “I suggest you go to Pewter City, it’s passed route two.” “Route two you say,” Wingdings took out the booklet and located route two. “Got it. Thank you mister.” “Anytime… uh… skeleton person.” “We will be back here soon enough.” “And we will be here. Good day to you all.” The group waved goodbye to the person and started to make their way to route two. As they entered the route, They were on a dirt road and trees surrounded the route. The route was straight across from a thick forest. “Well since we’re here, we can help Gallus and Ocellus find their first Pokémon partner.” Wingdings said to the group. “Oh yeah, that’s true, we can help you guys get your first Pokémon.” Austin said to Gallus and Ocellus. “That’s true.” Gallus said to Austin. “Y-yeah.” Ocellus said to Austin. “Then we will help you find it.” Sandbar said to the two. The two nodded and the group continued to walk. As they were walking down the road, they saw many Pokémon in the trees, looking at them curiously. Just then a Pidgey came flying towards them. The Pidgey flew past them, causing Austin’s hat to fly off. “Ohhh, now that’s my kind of Pokémon.” Gallus said. “Don’t worry, I’ll help,” Sandbar said as he took out his poke ball. “Pikachu, come on out!” Sandbar threw the pokeball and Pikachu appeared. “Pikachu.” Pikachu said happily. “Pikachu, use thundershock on the Pidgey!” Sandbar commanded Pikachu. “Pika!” Pikachu said as lightning started to come off it’s body. Pikachu let out the lightning and aimed it at the Pidgey. The lightning impacted the Pidgey, shocking it. The Pidgey began to fall to the floor. “Now its my turn!” Gallus said as he took out a poke ball. Gallus flew up to the Pidgey and threw the pokeball at the Pidgey, sucking it inside the pokeball. The pokeball landed on the floor and started to shake with a red light on the center of the pokeball. 1 shake… 2 shake… 3 shake… … Click “Ah yes! Finally got my first Pokémon!” Gallus said happily. Gallus landed to the floor and grabbed the pokeball. He put the pokeball into his bag. “Now we need to help Ocellus with finding her a Pokémon.” Sandbar said. “Y-yeah, but you don’t need to.” Ocellus said shyly. “Nonsense, we all need to have at least one Pokemon, then we can bring them back to our family.” “Y-yeah… yeah, that’s true.” The group nodded and they went to the entrance of the thick forest. They went inside the forest and into the dark forest. The light was barely visible inside the forest, but was able to see in front of them. As they were about to exit the forest, a small, quadrupedal mammal came out of the trees and into the dirt road. “What kind of Pokémon is that?” Ocellus said as she took out her Pokédex and pointed it at the Pokemon. Nidoran (Female), the Poison Pin Pokémon. A poison type. Females are more sensitive to smells than males. While foraging, they’ll use their whiskers to check wind direction and stay downwind of predators. “A Nidoran? It looks really cute.” Ocellus said. “So you wish to catch a Nidoran?” Wingdings said to Ocellus. “Y-yeah… if you can, that is.” “Step back, I’ll take care of this,” Gallus said confidently, taking out his pokeball. “Pidgey, come on out!” Gallus threw the pokeball and Pidgey came out, soaring the sky. “Pidgey, use gust!” Gallus commanded. Pidgey flapped it’s wings forwards and a gust of wing blew at Nidoran, but the Nidoran stood its ground. “Keep using gust Pidgey!” Gallus shouted. Pidgey kept using gust over and over on the Nidoran. The Nidoran kept its ground for a while, until it finally got tired and the gust blew the Nidoran down. “Quick while it’s down Ocellus.” Gallus said. Ocellus went to her bag and grabbed the pokeball and threw the pokeball at the Nidoran, sucking it inside the pokeball. The pokeball landed on the ground and started to shake, with a red light in the center of the pokeball. 1 shake… 2 shake… 3 shake… … Click Ocellus smiled and went over to pick up the pokeball. She picked up the pokeball and place it in her bag. “Thank you Gallus.” Ocellus said happily. “No problem Ocellus.” Gallus said to Ocellus. “Great, now everyone has their first Pokemon!” Sandbar said happily. “Indeed. Now we should all be ready for the gym leaders now, but it’s starting to get dark out, so how about we set up camp for the night.” “Sounds good to me, I’m exhausted.” “Very well then. I’ll set up the tents, one for the girls and one for the boys.” The group nodded and Wingdings began to set up the tents, while the Young Six and Austin were getting ready for bed . Austin was hiding behind a bush to put his pyjamas on. As he was done, he went back to the group. The tents were set and a fire was already started. The Young Six placed their sleeping bags in the tents. The group were by the fire, talking to each other. Austin joined them and took out a scroll and began to write. Dear Celestia and Luna, Hi momma Celestia and momma Luna, I know I was suppose to write you, but I was helping out my friends on catching their new Pokémon partners. I wish you were here to enjoy this, but that’s fine. Anyways, we’re about to go to sleep soon and I wanted to send you a message saying I’m doing fine and so are the others. I miss you guys, but I know I’ll be fine. I’ll talk to you soon, or when you send me a message. Yours truly, Austin. As soon as Austin was done writing on the scroll, the quill started to glow and the scroll turned to green fire. Austin went into the tent and laid down on his sleeping bag. “Goodnight everyone.” Austin said. “Goodnight.” The group said. Austin soon looked up and saw a bit of stars out and started to close his eyes, falling into a deep slumber. To Be Continued…
