Chapter 1: I Resemble A Snorlax
I yawned loudly as the sun rose from whence it came. The dream I had that night was nothing to laugh at. Glowing Rhyhorn eyes. The baby Rhyhorn that turned against me and violently killed my beloved baby Flareon. The tiny Flareon, limp as a leaf, not a breath of life in it�s body. My heart was pounding as fast as a cheetah runs. Dark storm clouds shrouded my home city. The sun was almost as faint as the whisper of a Yoshi with a sore throat.
�Ash!!� my Mom yelled up the stairs, almost as weary as I was. �Time for breakfast!!� she added. I was hungry, who wouldn�t be after a baby Rhyhorn had turned their world around? I zoomed down the stairs with great speed. I flipped on the radio and prepared to dine.
After Smash Mouth was over, the PokeGold news came on. �Oooh, that Smash Mouth!! Just can�t get enough!! Well, all of you Pokemon trainers, training school is canceled today because of heavy rains, meaning you get to stay home and listen to more Smash Mouth!! Hey now, you�re an all star, get the game on, go, play, OOPPPSS!! I meant....back to the Smash Mouth marathon, on 107.9, The End!!� The announcer, Jolteon Jack blabbed on.
The guy was annoying, I mean, well, he talked as fast as an auctioneer!! I turned the radio off and continued to eat. �Sheesh, so Smash Mouth sang the PokeRap yesterday, BIG WHOOP!! My granny makes better jokes than THAT!!� my big brother, Doug exclaimed.
I finished my breakfast and hurried outside. I met up with Brock there and we went to catch Pokemon. We hurried down the path and shot our way to Viridian Forest.
Chapter 2: Runaway Pokeball, RUNAWAY TRAINERS!!
When we got there, it was silent sneaking for us, until we ran SMASH into a group of...
�Bulba!!! Nail �em, boys, NOW!!� the Bulbasaurs yelled, signalling for their Bulbasaur comrades to attack. �Go, Golem!!� Brock yelled as a Bulbasaur ran at him. �Golemmmmm!!!!� the watchful Golem howled as he sent himself flying into one. It rolled out of the way, and Golem sacked into a rock. �Gooolemm...� he wearily panted. �Go, Pokeball!!� I yelled furiously, as one of them pelted it�s razor leaf at me.
It was caught in a Pokeball, but the Ball started to roll down �Recoil Hill�. I chased after it, Brock and his Golem close behind. I was tired from the running. This was getting rediculous, especially with the rain pouring above our heads. I lunged at the Pokeball, grabbing it up in victory. �Yesss!!� I howled. Suddenly, a powerful blast of lightning showered the sky, as if a Raichu, Electrode, Electabuzz and Magneton had all thunder shocked the clouds, all at one time.
We scattered from tree to tree, scampering over rocks and sticks and Sandshrew pits. Finally, just before our legs gave out, we reached our home town.
Chapter 3: Charred To A Crisp
�Dude, Dad!! You can�t do anything right!!� Doug complained. �Do you want some cheese with that wine?� Mom replied. �So Dad burned the chicken. Big whoop, Doug!! We always have the pizza, and the hot dogs, and the hamburgers.....� I trailed off. �GUYS, GUYS, GUYS!! If you�re going to keep bickering and whining about the BBQ, IT�S CANCELED!!!!!� Dad yelled. Well, it was bedtime anyway.
I settled down into bed and tried to get to sleep. �Pidgeyooot!!� the Pidgeot group howled, as they flew down near Booster Stream.
I woke up to the call of the Venusaur from the north, and the day seemed somewhat sunnier. I got a head start to Viridian Forest, and hid behind a tree. Soon, Brock came strolling along, happily thinking�(most definitely about girls.) �Oh, ho hum, I�m gonna catch a Machamp...� he hummed. I silently dug something out of my backpack. It was a water balloon. I aimed quietly and cautiously at Brock, and fired.
SPLAT!!!! It hit Brock in the chest, very hard. �OOOMMFFHH!! Oww, did you throw that, Gary?! You�re mincemeat if you think you�re getting attention!!� he furiously yelled. �Brock, I threw it!! It was me!!� I laughed. Brock sighed. �It�s hopeless.� he moaned. I stopped laughing �What�s hopeless?� I questioned. �YOU!!� he replied, tossing a water balloon back. It exploded in my face, getting water in my eyes and down my shirt. �HEY!!� I yelled, chasing after him.
Chapter 4: Rhydon And Sonic
Suddenly, he stopped. He looked at me in terror. �Yeah, I�m scary!! RAAAARR!!� I replied to his frightened look. I felt something hard brush against me. I looked up. A Rhydon towered over me, glaring into my eyes. �Uhh, Brock? He doesn�t look like he wants any tea and cookies...� I moaned in terror. But, Brock had rushed off, I spotted him running through the grass. �Hello, Ashie!!� the Rhydon growled. �I�m the scum-of-the-universe Rhyhorn who knocked the stuffing out of that firey fox-like thingy, that you call a Flareon!!� he teased.
�You!!! You killed her!!! You�re in the doghouse, mister!!� I yelled. �Oooooh, I�m shaking in my boots!! Nobody, you heard me, NOBODY orders ME around!!� he yelled back, stomping me to the ground. �Stop!! You!! Rhydon!!� a voice yelled at him. In the blinding light, the figure looked only like a shadow to me. �What? Oh, what a joke!! Look at you, you�re only a little blue thingy�who are you?� the Rhydon asked. �I�m Sonic the hedgehog, and I�m gonna smash anything that smells as bad as you!!� the blue hedgehog replied. �Oooohhh, Mommy!! He�s scaring me!!� Rhydon taunted.
But before Rhydon could blab anymore, Sonic threw him to the ground with his Homing Jump Attack. �Hey, hey, hold it, buddy!! I was only uhh....playing!!� Rhydon moaned as Sonic pinned him down. �I, Sonic the hedgehog, find you GUILTY!! �I was only playing�, indeed!! Just like when Knuckles claimed to the teacher that the dog ate his homework!!� Sonic yelled. He withdrew a chaos emerald from behind his back, and aimed it at the sun, which was spreading over the forest in beams.
The chaos emerald glowed a majestic blue, before transforming colors, green, orange, pink, and yellow. �Double, double, toil and trouble, let the power of chaos emeralds bubble!! In this time an power, under the evil that may tower, let the emerald essence shower!!� he commanded, as the chaos emerald changed to a reddish color. �Hey Rhydon, you look hungry, eat this!!� Sonic teased, tossing the chaos emerald at Rhydon. �EEEEKK!! No!! Get away!!� Rhydon hollered (this time he was actually scared.) The chaos emerald hit him hard, and sent him flying all the way to Cinnibar Island. Sonic looked away from the mass of rocks that Rhydon had fell into.
He stared at me, them back at the rocky mountain, with Rhydon jabbed between the rocks. �Thank....you...� I breathed out. My heart was beating too fast for me to speak properly. �Close call, huh? Well, it looks to me like you�ll need some help on your journey, Ash.� Sonic advised. �How do you know my name?� I asked him.
�I dunno. But, enough with the questions, take this. It�s a Chaos Emerald necklace. It�s said to have some mysterious power.� he told me. �Thank you.� I said again, taking this sparkling treasure. �No time to thank me, it�s time for you to get on with your Pokemon catching!!� he told me. �Better get a move on.�
Chapter 5: The Treasure of the Long Lost
I walked quietly through the woods, as though not to wake anything. Suddenly, I heard a dim, eerie whisper. �Ash....� I spun around. Nothing there. Then I heard it again. �Ash.....� I ran through the trees. I was starting to worry. What if it was a ghost? A ghost, trying to capture my soul? I was right about it being a ghost, but it wasn�t after my soul....
I spun around again. There it was, floating with ease through the air. �It�s me, Ash. Don�t you remember?� she cooed. �Remember? I don�t know you!!� I replied. �It�s me, Flare, the Flareon of which you found in the bushes.� the floating ghost assured me.
�......Flare? Is it really you?� I looked up at her with a questioning look. �Yes, it�s me, Ash.� replied Flare. �FLARE!! Holy Bowser, I missed you!! Have you come back to stay??� I asked. �No, Ash, I�m only back to visit. Listen, listen, that baby Rhyhorn was not normal. He was only a restless soul, lurking to avenge it�s death. Now he still roams, and you need to put this rivalry to an end. I would, but I�ve lost my strength. You are the only one capable of accomplishing this.�
I nodded. �Can do. I�ll go find him and send him back to the afterworld.� I agreed. �Good. I�ll need to equip you with the right kinds of items. These are Power-Shrooms. They give your Pokemon more speed and power, allowing them to make more swift attacks and defend themselves better. And you�ll need some super potions and max revives, in case of an emergency.� she remarked, handing me the items. I stuffed them in my backpack and was on my way.
Chapter 6: The Tragedy and The Victory
I stopped for a rest on Recoil Hill. I fed my Pokemon, and equipped them all with Power-Shrooms. Then, the ground rapidly shook, and Rhydon appeared again. �Thought you could defeat me, Runt? You�re one sorry piece of trash now, you little....oh, never mind. Let�s just get on with the battle!!� Rhydon raged.
He slashed at me with ease, but I ducked, and his slash knocked down the tree behind me. �Timber!!� I yelled as the tree hit the ground. Rhydon angrily snorted, and a puff of smoke billowed out of his nose (ack, poo, nasty Rhydon!!) He slashed again, and this time he knocked my backpack off my back.
Items, notebooks and Pokeballs flew everywhere. all of my Pokemon were okay, except for Bulbasaur. He laid on the ground, a deep wound cut in his chest. �Bulbasaur!!� I yelled, kneeling down next to him. He choked and coughed, and could barely talk. �Goodbye, Ash...� he sputtered.
�No!! Bulbasaur!! You�re NOT gonna die!!� I yelled. He painfully whimpered and shivered on the ground. �It was fun, but I can�t hold on much longer. I have to go.� he choked out. �No!! Tell me you�re gonna make it!!� I yelled out of sorrow. �I have to go...Ash....you�ll find a much stronger Bulbasaur, I promise....� he lowered his voice, almost to a whisper.
�Use the chaos emerald, I can�t help you anymore....� he moaned. Then, he was silent. No movement, no sounds. He was as still as the clouds, on a bright summer day. The color had faded from his Bulb, and it was now a sickly gray, telling me he was dead. �NOOOOOO!!!! HE�S GONE!! HE DIDN�T MAKE IT!!� I yelled. �The dinosaur checked out. Big whoop!!� Rhydon teased, without remorse. I stared up at him, with the most angry eyes you�d ever see. Suddenly, the chaos emerald on my necklace started to glow. I stared down at it, and knew what I had to do.
I grabbed it from around my neck and held it up to the sunlight. �Double, double, toil and trouble!! Let the power of chaos emeralds bubble!!� I commanded. The chaos emerald turned hot pink. �Uh...in this time and power, under the evil that may tower, let the emerald essence shower!!� I yelled.
The chaos emerald glowed red, and a blinding flash of light lit the forest, as pure as the water of a pearly blue lake. When the light had faded, I looked up to the sky, and I could have sworn that I caught a glimpse of Bulbasaur, hovering up to the heavens.
Chapter 7: Just My Luck
I hurried home and zoomed into the house. I saw my parents talking. But about what? �What�s up, Mom?� I asked. �Oh, we�re moving to Viridian City. I hope you don�t mind, Ash.� she bashfully exclaimed. �MIND? Oh, man, this is great!!� I remarked. Well, it really was great, I wouldn�t have to run to Viridian Forest, or to Viridian Trainer�s School, and I wouldn�t have to pass through Mount Moon to visit Brock. �Ah, yeah, this could be fun!!� I repeated one of Sonic�s quotes.
The next day, when I woke up, I grabbed my Pokedex and Pokeballs, and headed for school. I ran at full speed, kicking up dust and rocks. I made it to the classroom door in 2.4 minutes, and just when I was about to open it...
�Psst, hey, Ash!!� came a voice from the behind me. I spun around, and there stood Sonic. He didn�t look worried, so I knew it wasn�t more Rhydon trouble that he had come to tell me of. �Nice work, kid, nice work.� he exclaimed, giving me a thumbs up. I smiled back, and gave him a thumbs up, too.
