Chapter 3

Viridian City and Viridian Forest

When Ash arrived at Viridian City he noticed a police woman standing at the entrance. Ash recognized her as Officer Jenny. There were Officer Jenny all over the kanto region, all looked alike and were all named Jenny and related to each other as cousins. Ash showed his pokedex to Officer Jenny to show his identity. Officer Jenny saluted him and bid him good day. She also warned him that pokemon thieves were around and if he weren't careful they would take his pokemon too. Ash said not to worry and went on his way.

Ash soon came to the pokemon center and decided to rest there. He gave his pokemon to a lady that Ash knew was called a Nurse Joy. Nurse Joy was in every pokemon center in the kanto region. Plus like Officer Jenny, all the Nurse Joy were identical, with the same name and were all related to each other as sisters. Ash always found it amusing that all the Nurse Joy and Officer Jenny looked alike.

After giving his pokemon to Nurse Joy, Ash decided to hit the pokemart first. He brought some more potions and antidotes, in case of emergency, and stocked up on some more pokemon food for his pokemon.

When he got back to the pokemon center he gave his mother a call. "Hi honey, is everything all right?" she said. "Everything is going great mum," Ash answered "I caught myself a pidgey, a spearow and a magikarp". "Wow that's amazing," said Delia "I'm glad you are doing well. I hope you enjoy yourself". "I will mum. Love you goodbye".

Ash then phoned Prof Oak. "Hey professor Oak it's me Ash". "Hi Ash" said Prof Oak "where are you now?" "In Viridian City" Ash answered. "Ah I see," replied Prof Oak "Gary arrived in Viridian City some time ago. You know he betted me a million pokedollars that you wouldn't catch any pokemon before you arrive in Viridian City". "Well Gary has lost that bet," said Ash, with a smirk "I captured three pokemon". "Well good for you Ash my boy," said Prof Oak, happy he won the bet. "Oh professor I must tell you something," said Ash. He told the professor about the giant red bird in the sky he saw. "Hmm well it seems you made quite a discovery," said Prof Oak "I'm afraid I don't know what that is, but I'll find out for you". "Thanks professor" said Ash. Just then a ding dong bell was heard at the lab. "Oh that must be my pizza," said Prof Oak "talk to you soon Ash". Then Prof Oak hung up.

After finishing with the phone calls Ash was just about to ask Nurse Joy for a room, when he saw Misty enter the pokemon center. "Hi Misty" he said, walking towards her. "Oh hi Ash," said Misty "I see you got here alright". "Yes I did," said Ash "thank you. I'm just about to eat dinner, want to join me?" Misty accepted the invitation. While eating dinner they exchanged their own plans to each other. "I'm traveling to become a pokemon master," said Ash "what about you Misty? Are you traveling on a pokemon journey too?" "Yes I am actually," said Misty "but my dream is to become a great water pokemon trainer". "Ah so you like water pokemon huh?" asked Ash. "Yes I do," said Misty, "water pokemon are the best to me". "I love all pokemon no matter what type they are," said Ash "whether they are fire, water, grass or electric. They all seem special to me". Misty smiled at Ash, he seemed a very nice trainer to her. "Oh but hang on," said Ash "if you like water pokemon so much, why are you scared of gyarados since that's a water type pokemon". Misty explained that she was nearly eaten by a gyarados as a baby, and was scared of it ever since. "Wow," said Ash in amazement "I'm sorry for bringing that up". "No it's okay," said Misty "besides I'm trying to get over that fear. That way I can catch and train gyarados for myself". "Do be careful," said Ash "my mum warned me once that trying to force yourself like that can be dangerous". 'He is such a nice boy,' thought Misty 'I wonder if he will let me go with him'.

After finishing dinner, Ash and Misty got their pokemon back from Nurse Joy. They were just about to go to bed when smoke entered the scene. "What's going on?" coughed Ash. Three figures entered; a man, a woman and a meowth.
