Pokémon Adventures 1: Red & Blue Chapter (slow updates)

(1) A Glimpse Of The Glow

In a place called Pallet Town...

"Fooey! It bounced off again!" A little boy complained.

"My turn! My turn!" A young girl stepped forward to face the wild Nidorino.

The boy took a step back. "D'you really think you've got a chance?"

"Oh, be quiet." The girl ignored him and prepared a Poké Ball to throw. "I'm going to catch this Pokémon and make it my personal pet! Watch this!" Determined, she threw the Poké Ball as hard as she could at the Nidorino.

Bonng!

"Huh?" The Poké Ball didn't do a thing to the Nidorino. "I-It b-bounced off...?" The girl stared at the Pokémon in disbelief.

"Hahaha! You can't catch a Pokémon like that!" A new voice spoke. "If you want to catch a Pokémon," he closed one eye in an 'I know it all' manner. "...First you've gotta weaken it... then throw the Poké Ball..

"F'rinstance, try this! Go, Poli!" He threw his pokeball, releasing his powerful Poliwhirl.

"Give it the Water-Gun!" Poli nodded at its Trainer and moved its hands towards the Nidorino. The Poliwhirl shot a powerful blast of water at the Nidorino, causing it to become confused.

"Wow!" The young boy said, amazed.

"It looks dizzy!" The young girl said, watching the Nidorino and older boy in awe.

"Yeah!" The older boy agreed. "An' now that Nidorino's weak, I throw the Poké Ball."

He threw the Poké Ball at the Nidorino, and the Ball enclosed around the Nidorino.

"Ha ha! Gotcha, Nidorino!" The boy exclaimed, picking up the caught Pokémon and holding it above his head.

"Cool!" The young boy said, running towards the older boy.

"That was great, Red!" Another child said.

By now the older boy, Red, was surrounded by four other children, all staring at him in amazement. Red spun the newly caught Poké Ball on his finger, enjoying their praise.

Everybody knows me in Pallet Town. And why not? I'm the best Pokémon Trainer around!

Red smiled at the children around him.

Huh? What are Pokémon, you ask?

Strange creatures that live in the forests and lakes.

I don't know how many kinds of Pokémon there are in the world...

He and the children walked off, the sun beginning to set.

But I know I'm gonna catch 'em all!

"Hey Red, do you know Professor Oak?" The young boy from earlier asked.

Red turned his head. "The old guy at the edge of town?" He guessed. "What about that weirdo?" He closed his eyes and continued walking with his hands behind his head.

"Well..." The young boy began.

"People day he knows a lot about Pokémon," the girl finished for him.

"Maybe he can teach us some things about how to catch them..." another child chimed in.

"You don't need that old nut." Red shrugged his shoulders. "I'll teach you everything you need to know."

The children all looked at each other. "Maybe. But they say that Professor Oak taught his grandson to be one of the world's greatest Pokémon Trainers..."
