Pokemon: The Saga of Dolan

The Viridian Forest

Our Characters so far:

Dolan: A newbie 15 year old trainer who just recently set out on his journey. Though he has studied a lot for this moment, he seems unprepared more often than not.

Cory:  A pervy trainer close to Dolan's age who seems to know his way around places. He has a unexplained amount of wealth.

Flora: Dolan's Bulbasuar. She is shy and afraid of loud noises and new situations, but can become a great battler under the right conditions.

Killer: Dolan's Weedle. Killer is pretty weak and has to rely on help from Flora.

Flex: Cory's Machop. Flex is usually hidden kept in its pokeball because it is currently much stronger than his Nidoran.

Champ: Cory's Nidoran (Male). Nidoran is a tough fighter, and has a great trust for Cory, despite the fact that they had just recently met.

After ten minutes in the forest, I could see how someone could get lost. The vast landscape of tall trees and dense underbrush could leave you lost for days. The small dirt road we trek on gives us a small glimpse at the lives from which the native Pokemon of this forest live. I see Kakuna and Metapod dangling from the tall pines of the forest. Flocks of bird Pokemon cawing in the Oaks. I hear rustling in the bushes to my left, and out poke little whiskers, a baby Rattata. The windy road we follow leads to a clearing off to the left.

"Hey Cory, that clearing would be good for training."

"Yeah. Your right. Its close to the road too, so we won't have to lose track of it."

We diverge from the path and walk through the bush into the clearing. A nice meadow, where the sunlight was just poking through the trees. We set our bags down on a fallen log and Cory sits down. I pull a Pokeball from my belt and throw it to the middle of the clearing.

"Come on out Killer!"

Killer, in a flash of red light, pops out of his pokeball.

"Alright Killer, let's see if we can spot some wild Pokemon. We need to increase your strength."

Killer nods. He climbs up onto my shoulder and we head for the far side of the clearing.

"Hey Dolan!"

I turn around.

"Yeah?"

"Remember. There's no Pokemon Center around here. If your Pokemon faints, that's it. We would have to go back. I would suggest sending out Killer for the first couple attacks and then switching to Flora since she's stronger. Both your Pokemon will get stronger, but since Killer is weaker, he'll get stronger faster."

"Makes sense. Thanks!"

"No problem."

We continue walking through the meadow when we spot some rustling.

"Okay get ready Killer."

I can feel Killer, tensing up, waiting for the prime time to strike. We watch the bushes rustle and then.. A Rattata pops out!

"Go Killer! Poison Sting!"

Killer launches off my shoulder, baring his stinger at the Rattata. The Rattata barely notices in time and is hit with the hard stinger.

"Nice!" The Rattata slowly gets up. It bares it's fangs at us and runs towards Killer.

"Oh no! Killer, return!" Killer returns into its ball.
