The Kamizardic Region Book 1: Beginnings

Chapter 2: Murkrow and a Mansion

Still in hot pursuit, Alta tried attacking the Murkrow. “Snivy use your vine whip!” The vine whip wrapped around Murkrow’s wing and slowed him down. “Alright, you did it Alta!” Zane cheered. Murkrow was angry and fired back a dark pulse. Snivy fell to the ground from the attack and let go of Murkrow. “No, Snivy!” Alta ran to her Snivy. “Snivy return to your Pokéball!” She commanded. Snivy disappeared inside its Pokéball while Cyndaquil was ready to fight. “Cyndaquil use flamethrower!” Zane commanded. Murkrow just flew higher to avoid it. “Look a mansion!” Alta pointed. There was a huge mansion at the end of the path. “Cyndaquil use swift!” Zane commanded. Murkrow used dark pulse and both attacks exploded. They came right up to the mansion’s garden. “Come on you dumb Murkrow, give me my pokedex back!” Zane yelled so loud even the owner of the mansion heard him. “Looks like these kids need my help.” The owner smirked. “Bouffalant, go!” The owner called him out blocking Murkrow. He had flaming orange and red hair and wore a red shirt with black shorts. “The name’s Alder. You kids need some help?” Alder asked. “Yes please, we do.” Zane pointed at the Murkrow. “Bouffalant use scary face!” The scary face made Murkrow flinch and he dropped the pokedex. “I got it!” Alta jumped and caught the pokedex in mid-air, landing on her feet afterward. “Bouffalant, use head charge!” The attack made Murkrow hit the ground. “Here, throw this Pokéball at the Murkrow.” Alder gave it to him. “My name’s Zane and I’m not a kid!” Zane threw the Pokéball at a nearby tree and it bounced back onto Murkrow catching him. “And that’s one way to catch a Pokémon.” Alder was shocked giving the Pokéball to Zane. “He’s all yours.”  “Don’t you want the Murkrow?” Zane asked. “No, I’ve got plenty of Pokémon and memories with them. You’re just starting on your journey and why don’t you make a new friend with this Murkrow.” Alder rejected the Murkrow. “Cool, I caught a Murkrow.” Zane realized. “I also like your Bouffalant.” Zane exclaimed opening his pokedex. “Bouffalant is the bash buffalo Pokémon. They charge wildly and head butt everything. Their head butts have enough destructive force to derail a train.” Dexter finished. “Who’s this tending your garden?” Alta asked taking out her pokedex. “Durant is the iron ant Pokémon. They attack in groups, covering themselves in steel armour to protect themselves from Heatmor.” Dexter replied. Suddenly, a jeep pulled up with Professor Beach inside. “I saw you two chasing after the Murkrow and though you might want a ride back.” Professor Beach offered. “Turtwig Tur!” Professor Beach brought a starter along. “I remember you from the lab.” Zane got his pokedex out. “Turtwig is the tiny leaf Pokémon. The shell on its back is made of soil. On a very healthy Turtwig, the shell should feel moist.” Dexter announced.They both hopped in without another word. “Alta here, I would like to give you a map of the Kamizardic region because you didn’t catch a Pokémon.” Alder handed it to her. “I may be champion of the Unova region, but I never get lost.” Alder winked. “I had no clue.” Alta confessed. “I didn’t know either.” Zane was awestruck. “No time to waste. Off we go!” Professor Beach put on his sunglasses and they drove back to the lab. Upon arrival, Zane and Alta took off down route 302 not knowing who or what they would find. “Good bye you guys!” The professor waved.
