Pokémon Red (Book 2)

Egg Macguffin

Ethan's POV

'Can I come with you two ?', I asked. 'Where ever you're going right now ?'.

'Yeah, why not ?'. Red yawned.

'Uh, yes'. Lyra said half-heartedly.

So, I walked with them to the PokeCentre. Red seemed to be a serious person, no wonder he won the Kanto League.

My father always told me that Kanto League was indeed tougher than Johto's, as my father was a trainer when he was my age.

I never asked my father to teach me, because I wanted to learn everything I needed as a Trainer on my own.

Well, till now I'm still figuring out the types and stuff.

I had three Pokemon in my team. Quilava, Zubat and Hoothoot.

Nurse Joy welcomed us at the PokeCentre and we gave all our Pokemon for healing. Her partner Pokemon - Blissey, seemed very nice.

'Excuse me ?'. Shouted a kid. He looked as if he was being chased by a horde of Stantlers. And I'm not talking about those  you see on TV.

The kid looked roughly seven or eight by height and wore yellow oversized T-shirt with a blue stripe going horizontally from the middle. He wore black shorts and a brown cap.

'I need help'. He gasped, standing right behind us.

Red and Lyra turned around.

'What is it ?', asked Red.

'They, the-they, took my bag. I had my Pokeballs in it', he gasped. 'You are trainers, you can help me. Right ?'.

'We can help you', said Lyra. 'But who took your bag ?'.

'T-team Rocket'.

The PokeCentre was filled with silence. Team Rocket was a headache. I don't even know why it was created in the first place, they were never successfull in their plans. So that's a bummer.

'Where are they ?', I asked. 'I promise' we'll get your bag back, along with your Pokemon'.

'Thank you'. Said the kid. 'I know where they are. Follow me'.

'Here are your Pokemon', said Nurse Joy. 'Do visit again'.

All of us took put our Pokemon on the belt and followed the kid.

'Where are we going exactly ?', I asked.

'Route 32, there is a helicopter over there', said the Kid. 'You can identify my bag - my name is written on it'.

'And what's that ?', asked Lyra.

'Oh, sorry. My name is Joey', he said. 'We need to hurry'.

'Do you have any Pokemon with you by chance ?'. I asked.

'Yes, but he's of no use', said Joey.

Lyra's Marill yawned. 'Don't even think about it'. Lyra glared at Marill.

Marill sat straight and her eyes went from sleepy to...awaky ?

In no time, we encountered the helicopter, but no one was around.

'Get aside kids, this is not a place to play', said a man.

He was tall, good looking, but had a serious mood. He wore a greyish-black pant, a white shirt, red tie and a light brown trenchcoat. His hair flew around with the wind.

'We are here to get his bag back'. Red explained. 'Team Rocket took his bag as he had his Pokeballs inside'.

'Team Rocket, they left their Pokemon stealing business, they are upto something big now'. The man walked forward.
