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

(2) Bulbasaur Come Home!

Bing! Bong! Bing! Bong!

Binnng!

Red looked through the window again. "Anybody home?" He reached for the door handle, surprised to find it unlocked. "Huh?! It's open!"

He pushed open the door completely, standing at the entrance to a very cluttered room. Books were laying everywhere; Poké Balls were scattered throughout; boxes covered the ground before him.

"Oh... w-wow..." he came inside and looked around. He saw a wall in the back full of Poké Balls, all of them containing a different Pokémon. "I never knew there were so many Pokémon..."

His gaze fell on a Poké Ball laying on a table. "What's this one?" He wondered aloud, picking it up to have a better view.

He noticed a label on the side of the Poké Ball, and read it. "Bulb...a...saur." He smiled and peered closer at the tiny Pokémon through its Poké Ball. "It has a bud on its back! Cool!"

Suddenly Red got an idea. "Look at this, Poli." He held up both Poké Balls to each other. As he watched the two, the Bulbasaur suddenly began to panic.

Red suddenly felt a presence in the room; he was so longer alone.

He slowly turned around and noticed a tall man looming over him.

"You... you... Poké Theif!" The older man shouted, running towards Red.

Red began to back away. "W... wait, n-no... I... I... I mean I..." he tripped and fell on to a control panel, pressing a few buttons by accident. "Waaa..."

"No, you idiot!!" the man yelled, enraged.

"Wh- wh- wh-?!" Red stuttered. He glanced behind him at the control panel.

As if on command, all of the Poké Balls opened up simultaneously, releasing all of the Pokémon inside them.

Pokémon of every size and type charged towards Red and the man. "Ahhhh!" The two yelled together.

"Now look what you've done!!" The man practically screamed, leaning over Red.

The younger boy recoiled, startled. "I d-didn't mean to..."

As he finished speaking, a small Pidgey flew straight at them. It swerved up at the last moment, narrowly missing running into the man. Instead, it pooped on his head before flying away.

The man growled, Pidgey- poop covering his face.

"Yuk..." Red muttered.

"Just get them back!" The man shouted, turning towards Red.

"Okay!!" Red replied and ran after the Pokémon.

Later (MUCH later)...

"How... many more...?"

"... Hufff... hufff... uhhh..." Red quickly counted all of the Pokémon in their Poké Balls.

"Don't... tell me... that some... *huff*... escaped." The man, Professor Oak, sighed, exasperated, noticing a shattered window.

"I- I'll go out an' get 'em!" Red shouted, running towards the door.

"Ohhhh, no you don't, Poké Theif!" Professor Oak grabbed Red's shirt, preventing him from going any further.

"But I'm not...!" Red complained. "I'm sorry I came into your Poké- Lab uninvited... I'm sorry I set your Pokémon loose!" His face reddened a bit in pain from Professor Oak's grip on his shirt. "But we've gotta get 'em back, or..."
