Chapter 3 The First Badge
"Okay your Pokémon are fully healed," Nurse Joy said handing me the tray with two Pokéballs and Chika lying on top.
"Thanks," I said putting the Pokéballs at my waist Chika jumped to my side.
"Are you going to challenge the gym leader?" she asked.
"Yes I am," I said.
"Well you have a very good types to take on the gym leader Kim," she said.
"I know water and grass types have a big advantage against rock types," I said.
"Yeah, but even though you better not get too cocky," Nurse Joy said looking at me then at Chika.
"Chika Rita," she said.
"Don't worry Nurse Joy," I said. "I won't get cocky."
"Good see you later," Nurse Joy said as I walked out the Pokémon Center.
I forgot to do something but what. I turned on my translator.
"Chika do you remember what I was suppose to do when I reach Pewter City?" I asked.
^Don't you remember you have to call your parents^ she said.
"Right," I said as I quickly walked back inside the Pokémon Center.
"What is wrong?" Nurse Joy asked confused to see me back in the Pokémon Center so soon.
"I have to call my parents," I quickly answered.
"Oh, the Vidphones are on the back wall on your left," Nurse Joy said.
"I found them," I yelled down the hall.
I quickly dialed my home phone number and waited for it to ring. It rang once twice then…
"Hello," my mom said. "Chris are you in Pewter City yet?" she asked.
"Yeah remember you said to call when I get there," I said.
"Hi Chika," she said to Chika.
^Hi^ Chika said back.
"I am going to challenge the gym leader now so I better go," I said.
"Okay and good luck," she said I hung up.
It took about 3 minutes to get to the gym. It wasn't far from the Pokémon Center. While we were walking Chika and I talked.
"So you think I should start the battle off with Bubbles," I said.
^Yeah she has the biggest advantage^ Chika said.
"Yeah," I said as we approach the gym.
^So this is the Pewter City gym^ Chika said looking at the building.
"Let go inside," I had already opened the door.
When we got inside there was a kid fighting the gym leader Kim.
"Rattata use your Tackle," the kid said.
"Golem use your Body Slam," Kim told the Golem.
The two Pokémon hit head on but Rattata got hurt because it had a disadvantage against rock types.
"Rattata get back up," the kid who was about the same age as me said.
"Rat ta ta," said the Pokémon tired.
"Quick use Water Gun," he said to his Pokémon.
"Golem Rollout," Kim said.
"Goll," said the Pokémon as it rolled towards Rattata as Rattata shot out its Water Gun it hitting the rolling rock Golem hit Rattata knocking it down.
"Rattata get back up now!" the boy yelled to his Pokémon.
"It is over Kyle," Kim said.
"Rat," said Rattata moaned as it stood up.
"Bubblebeam," Kyle yelled at his Pokémon.
"Watch out Golem Rollout," Kim told his Pokémon.
What is that kid doing is he out of his mind?
"Ra," yelled Rattata as it fell down because it was too tired.
"Golem stop," Kim quickly yelled but her Pokémon could not stop.
If it doesn't stop it will crush the Rattata.
"Chika use Vine Whip to redirect Golem," I said to Chika.
"Chika."
It shot out it Vines and hit Golem away inches away from Rattata.
"What is the big idea?" Kyle screamed at me as he recalled his Rattata and stormed out of the gym.
"Golem return," Kim said.
She walked over to me.
"Thank you," she said.
"For what?" I said.
"Saving the Rattata," she said.
"That Kyle needs some help," I said.
"Yeah he treats his Pokémon too mean," she said.
"I am here to challenge you," I said.
"I know but can't we battle later my Golem needs to rest," she said.
"Okay I guess," I said.
"Chiko," said Chika a little disappointed.
Back at the Pokémon Center…
"I challenge you to a match," a tall skinny kid that looked about my age said to me.
"Okay, I accept your challenge but we have to battle outside," I said getting up from my seat and walking outside.
"How many Pokémon can we use," he said.
"How about three?" I said.
"Good then I choose," he said throwing his Pokéball.
"Nidoran," said the purplish looking Pokémon.
I pulled out my Pokédex.
<Nidoran Female A mild-mannered Pokémon that does not like to fight. Beware; its small horns secrete venom. >
"All right I choose," I threw my Pokéball.
"Mar Marril," said the water mouse.
"Whoa nice Marril," the kid said.
"Thanks now let's start," I said.
"Bubbles use your Tackle attack," I said.
"Nidoran use your Tackle," the kid said.
The two Pokémon hit each other head on.
"Nidoran poison sting," he said.
Nidoran tried to hit Bubbles with its horn but Bubbles moved out of the way.
"Bubbles use your Water Gun," I quickly yelled.
Bubbles let out a stream of water that hit Nidoran. The pressure moved Nidoran against the wall of the Pokémon Center.
"Nidoran Thunderbolt," the trainer yelled to his Pokémon.
The Thunderbolt attack used the water as a connection from Nidoran to Bubbles. It was a good move it fainted Bubbles and it hurt Nidoran really bad.
"Bubbles return," I yelled.
"Maaa," said the Pokémon it was tired.
"Chikorita," yelled Chika running into battle.
"You want to battle huh," I said.
"Nidoran tackle," tall skinny said.
"Chika Sweet Scent," I yelled.
Chika sent out its Pink Powder. Nidoran stopped in its tracks and smelled the nice smell just like I wanted.
"Finish it with Vine Whip," I quickly yelled.
The tall skinny didn't even have time to yell out a command his Pokémon was out cold.
"Return," a red beam shot out to call back his Pokéball.
"Way to go Chika," I said.
"Go Beedrill," he said.
That would be a hard fight for Chika.
"Beedrill Poison Sting," he yelled.
"Reflect," I quickly yelled.
The bug Pokémon tried to hit Chika with its poison sting but the protective shield.
"Beedrill hit it with a Hyperbeam," tall skinny said.
Good attack but it has its disadvantages.
"Chika Razor Leaf attack," I yelled.
Chika Razor Leafs were a lot faster than the slow but very powerful Hyperbeam. The Razor Leaf hurt Beedrill and caused it to stop its attack. Not a very welled trained.
"Beedrill try again," tall skinny said.
"Chika grab its stingers with your Vine Whip and slam Beedrill to the floor," I quickly ordered.
That was all it took Chika won and tall skinny lost.
I was heading back in the Pokémon Center when…
"Help, get away," a girls voice said.
I quickly followed the voice and I found myself in an alley with a cute girl and a Pokémon.
"Hey," I yelled the Pokémon turned around.
"Pinsir," it said.
<Pinsir If it fails to crush the victim in its pincers, it will swing it around and toss it hard. >
"Chikorita," yelled Chika as it tackled the Pokémon.
"Go," I threw a Pokéball at Pinsir but it wasn't to capture the Pokémon but the Pokémon didn't know that.
"Venonat," yelled my Pokémon.
"Sleep Powder," I quickly yelled.
Pinsir fell asleep on impact with the sleep powder.
The girl threw her Pokéball at the Pokémon catching it.
Back at the Pokémon Center…
I had given Nurse Joy all of my Pokémon to heal.
"Yeah that Pinsir is mine," the girl said.
"Doesn't listen does it?" I asked.
"No I got it from a stranger he said that he couldn't take care of it," she said.
"My name is Chris and yours?" I asked.
"Mine is Jewel," she said.
"So what are you going to do about that Pinsir?" I asked.
"I don't know?" she said.
"Hmm," I said then I got an idea.
"Why don't you give it to me?" we said at the same time.
We laughed at the same time.
"What I really mean was," I said a little embarrassed.
"That I should give it to you because you can," she said interrupting me.
"Give it to my Professor," I said.
"Yeah," she said.
"That way we are safe from that raging Pinsir," I said.
Yeah lets do it," she said.
"Wait?" I said stopping her. "How did you know I have a professor?"
"The Pokédex," she said. "Most people get their first Pokédex from a professor."
"Right," I said.
She is very observant.
I called the professor and his face appeared on the vidphone.
"Chris how are things?" the professor said.
"Hi professor," I said.
"Hey who is this lovely young lady?" the professor said. "Way to go Chris," he said winking at me.
I blushed and so did Jewel.
"This is Jewel I saved her from a out of control Pinsir," I said.
"Nice to meet you Jewel," the professor said.
"Hi Professor," she said.
"So professor how is Beedrill," I said.
"Your Beedrill is very energetic and is providing good information for my research," the professor said.
"Professor I need you to hold Jewel's out of control Pinsir for us for a while," I said.
"A disobedient Pokémon would be good for my research," the professor said.
"Let start the transfer," I said to Jewel as she placed the Pokéball on the transfer slot.
A white light surrounded the Pokéball and it disappeared.
"Got it," the professor said showing the Pokéball to us.
"Thanks," I said.
"Chris," Nurse Joy said.
I turned around.
"Your Pokémon are healed now," she said.
"Got to go professor have to go win my first badge," I said.
"Bye," the professor said.
"Want to watch me win a badge?" I asked Jewel hoping she would come along.
"Yes," she said looking into my eyes.
At the gym…
"I am ready to battle," Kim said across the Pokémon gym. "And I see you brought a friend."
"How many Pokémon," I said getting ready.
"Two," she said.
"Go Bubbles," I said throwing the Pokéball.
"Good choice go Rhyhorn," she said the rock Pokémon exploded from its Pokéball.
"Rhy," it yelled.
"Whoa," Jewel yelled.
I pulled out my Pokédex.
<Rhyhorn Its massive bones are 1000 times harder than human bones. It can easily knock a trailer flying. >
"Great," I said.
"Rhyhorn, Take Down," Kim yelled.
"Bubbles Water Gun," I yelled.
Rhyhorn charged at Bubbles as it shot out its Water Gun it his Rhyhorn and hurt it but it keep charging hitting Bubbles sending it flying into me. I caught her but the force knocked me down.
"Bubbles are you okay," I said.
"Sorry about that," she said.
"Are you okay?" Jewel asked.
"Yeah," I said.
"Ma Marril," the water mouse said.
"Rhyhorn try Take Down again," she said.
"Bubbles lets use jump out of the way and use Bubblebeam," I said.
Bubbles dodge out of the way just before Rhyhorn hit her and shot its Bubblebeam on the soft hid of Rhyhorn.
"Rhyhorn Horn Drill," Kim yelled.
"Bubbles use Ice Beam," I yelled to my Pokémon.
Rhyhorn almost would have won except it got frozen solid by Bubbles Ice Beam.
"Rhyhorn return," Kim said calling back her Pokémon.
"ALL RIGHT GO CHRIS," Jewel yelled.
I smiled at her she smiled back.
"Go Golem," Kim yelled.
"Bubbles use Blizzard," I yelled.
"Golem Rollout," Kim yelled.
It was over the Blizzard attack hurt Golem but it didn't stop it from running over Bubbles. I called the Pokémon back.
"Chika your up," I said looking at my Pokémon.
"Golem Rollout," Kim yelled.
"Chika use your Vine Whip," I yelled.
Golem rolled towards Chika but the vines defected it.
"Rock Throw," Kim yelled.
"Chika use Vine Whip," I said.
Again Golem tried to attack but the vines kept any attacks from reaching Chika. I really need to attack offensively not defensibly.
"Chika use your Razor Leaf," I yelled.
"Golem," Kim yelled. "Fire Blast."
"Chika change attack Reflect," I yelled.
Another defensive move.
The Fire Blast wasn't as strong as I thought and made it easy for Chika to protect itself.
"Golem, Take Down," Kim yelled.
"Chika use Hidden Power," I yelled.
And whatever Chika's hidden power it was powerful enough to knock out Golem. I was surprised Kim was surprised and so was Jewel. I think even Chika was surprised.
"Here you go," Kim said handing me the badge it was a gray diamond looking badge.
"It is the Boulder Badge," Kim said.
"Our first badge," I said showing it to Chika and to Jewel.
It was the happiest day of my life.
