Pikachu was still confused as he walked behind Austin, who had everything they needed with Spearow resting in his Pokéball, when they saw Misty looking annoyed.

"Something wrong?" Austin asked, causing Misty to turn and look at him.

"I just found out how Team Rocket got away easily yesterday," Misty said, her expression angry. "They stole my bike!"

Austin blinked, not expecting that, before he tried to imagine a paralyzed Meowth along with Jessie and James riding a one-person bike. He just couldn't see it.

"Uh, I'm sure Officer Jenny will get it back," Austin said, looking sheepish.

"I know, but I was planning on just riding through Viridian Forest as fast as I could," Misty said, crossing her arms as Austin remembered her bug phobia.

Austin shrugged. "Well, I hope you get it back soon," he said, about to leave.

Should I ask her to go on a journey with me?
I'd rather not, Austin thought after a few minutes. Especially through Viridian Forest with her Bug Phobia.

He barely made it outside of Viridian City when he saw a purple rat with a white underbelly, running out of the field and looking around as if for berries.

"A Rattata?" Austin muttered curiously before he looked at Pikachu. "Want to give it a try?"

Pikachu gave a nod and ran out, catching the Rattata's attention as it tensed.

"Thundershock," Austin ordered as Pikachu fired right as the Rattata dodged with some speed. "Whoa, that was a Quick Attack."

The Rattata ran again, becoming a blur as it slammed into Pikachu, sending him rolling on the ground.

Shaking his head, Pikachu looked annoyed.

"Growl," Austin ordered as Pikachu cried out, and he swore he saw the Rattata glow a bit. So that's how those moves work.

The Rattata tried for another Quick Attack, but this time Pikachu didn't budge.

"Grab him and use Thunder Shock," Austin ordered, missing a look of annoyance in the Rattata's eyes as it was electrocuted.

Deciding that was enough, Austin threw the Pokéball as the Rattata was sucked in.

After a few tense seconds, the Pokéball dinged, showing a successful capture as Austin grabbed the Pokéball.

"Alright, we got a Rattata," Austin said before shaking his head. Did I just do that?

"Pi Pikachu!" Pikachu cheered.

Giving a grin, Austin checked the Pokédex as he let the Rattata out, and she glared at him. "Rattata the Mouse Pokémon, bites anything when it attacks, small and very quick, it is a common sight in many places." The Pokédex beeped. "This Rattata is Female and the Ability is Guts. Currently, this Rattata knows Tackle, Tail Whip, Quick Attack, and Focus Energy. The Age of this Rattata is One Year and Eight Months."

Austin blinked as he realized the Rattata was a girl, causing him to chuckle sheepishly as she glared at him.

"Uh, nice to meet you," Austin said as the Rattata turned away stubbornly. Man, I seem to get all the stubborn ones.

Sighing, Austin returned the Rattata as he continued onwards before looking at Pikachu. "Nice job, by the way," he said to him.

"Pi." Pikachu looked a little embarrassed by the praise.

He barely made it into the forest when Austin stopped.

Blinking, Austin did so to see a green caterpillar Pokémon with a yellow underbelly and his eyes widened in recognition.

Austin took a Pokéball off his belt and enlarged it before tossing it as the Bug Pokémon was sucked in.

Another capture, Austin thought with a grin at this.

He always liked Butterfree.

Like in the Anime, the Bug Pokémon didn't put up too much of a fight as it was an easy capture.

"Four Pokémon, that's a great start, wouldn't you say Pikachu?" Austin asked as the Electric Mouse gave a nod. "Now let's see what the Pokédex says about him."

"Caterpie the Worm Pokémon, Its short feet are tipped with suction pads that enable it to tirelessly climb slopes and walls. This Caterpie is Male and the Ability is Shield Dust." The Pokédex beeped. "Currently this Caterpie knows Tackle, String Shot, and Bug Bite. The Age of this Caterpie is Two Weeks."
