The Journey of three................

Part 9

By eevee100

After checking out of the hotel the four kids (Will, Jordan Dylan and Angela)

walk into a small diner and sit down for breakfast.

***

"Here ya' go kids." The waitress said as she handed each of them a menu.

"When you kids decide what ya' want just call me 'k?" "Okay."

As the waitress walked off Will pulled a menu up in front of his face as he looked at Angela.

It was obvious that he had a crush on her.

Dylan put the map on the table, "So where's the next city?" Jordan asked.

Dylan took out a red marker and drew a line across the map, following the routes and turns. He rested on a large dot.

"Vermillion." He replied. "Vermillion city?" Will took out his pokedex,

"Vermillion city's gym leader, Lt. Surge, is nicknamed the Lightning American, mainly because of the fact that all of his pokemon are the electric type.

Trainers challenging Surge should use either Ground or Rock type pokemon, because of the fact that electric attacks don't affect rock, or ground type pokemon."

Will's pokedex reported.

"Hmm, well I don't have any rock or ground pokemon yet, but I guess that I can try t catch one." Will said pulling out his five pokeballs.

"How is your togepy?" Angela asked.

"Togepy? I'm not sure, she went into the pokeball yesterday and I guess she had been sleeping since then." Will replied.

All of a sudden one of Will's pokeballs started to wobble on the table.

It opened up and there was a blinding red flash,

when it ended Will's Togepy stood on the table yawning.

"Tokay!" It yelled as it wobbled over to Will.

"Hi Buddy." Will said picked her up and holding up.

"Breeee!" She replied.

"That's a cute pokemon." Someone said. Will looked up to see the waitress (Kara, as the name tag read)

"Thanks, she only hatched a couple day ago."Will replied.

"Ok, so what'll it be?" "I guess that I'll have some bacon and toast." Will said.

"Ok then." Kara replied as she jotted down some notes. "And me and Dylan will each have some pancakes." After Kara was done with the boys she looked at Angela, "And what'll it be girl?" She asked.

"Well, I guess I'll just have some eggs, and bacon." She stopped, due to a worried look from Will's togepy.

"Or skip the eggs." She said. "Ok I'll be right back." She wandered off to finish the orders.

After a short time she came back with our meals.

"That'll be 15.46$" She said handing them a small bill.

After being paid she ran off.

Jordan and Dylan began to chomp down on their pancakes and Will's togepy grabbed a strip of bacon and munched on it happily in front of Will.

"Breeee!" Togepy yelled as she finished her bacon.

After they were all done, they paid the bill, checked out of the hotel and healed their pokemon.

Then they left Cerulean.

***

They wandered along the path that left Cerulean witch is also known as route 24.

After a little bit of walking they came to a small forest.

"Wait a sec. This forest isn't on the map!" Dylan yelled taking another look at it.

"What it has to be!" The two other boys yelled, looking over Dylan's shoulders at the map.

"Pika pi! Pikachu!" Jordans pikachu yelled.

They all looked up to see a man.

"Hello there." He said.

"Hi." Will replied.

"Who are you?" Jordan asked. "My name is John Haddock, but some people just call me the pokesitter." The man replied.

All of a sudden there was a large boom of thunder as the rain started t pour down.

"Um, excuse me but you don't know where we can get some shelter do you?" Dylan asked.

"Yep, just follow me." The four kids looked at each other before running after the old man.

After a while, they came to a large cabin, where they got some rest.

"So you've been living out here all by yourself?" Angela asked taking a sip of hot chocolate.

"(sigh) Yes, I used to have a wife, but she passed away about three years ago."

"I'm sorry." Angela said. "Quite all right, it's quite all right."

"So um, don't you have a job?" Dylan asked.

"Well, I used to be what they called the pokésitter.""A pokésitter?"

"Yes it's just a strange name for a pokemon breeder. I used to own a day care here, where pokemon trainers could come to me and leave their pokemon for me to take care of for a while. But I had to close down, since all of those pokemon trainers seem to be goin' to those modern-type breeding centers."

"So you're out of business?" "Yes, unfortunately."

The man then looked at the small togepy sitting on Will's lap.

"What kind of pokemon is that?" He asked. "This is my togepy." Will replied.

"Wow, I've never seen a pokemon like that before. Did you hatch it all by yourself?"

"Yes, I found the egg in Viridian forest." Will replied.

"This pokemon is more than amazing it's a totally new species."

"Really, I never knew that."

"Oh well enough of togepy, where are you four heading to?" Before they could reply there was a huge noise that boomed up and said:

"Prepare for trouble!"

"And make it double!"

"To infect the world with devastation!"

"To blind all people within our nation!"

"To announce the beauty of truth and love!"

"To extend our wrath to the stars above!"

"Jass!"

"Cheryl!"

"Team rocket will now take possession of your pokemon old man!"

"Yes come out and we won't hurt you!"

"What is it John? How do they know you?" "T, t, team rocket has been after me for years, ever since I," He paused. "I wonder why?" Will thoght.

Will turned around to see Dylan. "Come on Will we can't let them take John's pokemon!" "Right!"

The two boys ran out of the cabin and looked up to see Jass and Cheryl jump out of the balloon and land in front of them.

"It's that brats!" Jass yelled.

"I guess that you losers want another battle?" Will yelled.

"We're ready for you brats this time!" Cheryl yelled. "Go nidoran female!"

"And go nidoran male!" The two poison pokemon popped out.

"Go butterfree!" Will yelled.

"And go graveller!" Dylan yelled. The huge rock pokemon popped out of the pokeball and smashed into the ground.

"Butterfree! Confusion!" Will yelled. Butterfree's eyes started to glow, then so did the two nidoran's.

"Nido?" "Ran?" They muttered in confusion.

"Butterfree! Now use your sleep powder!" With a flap of butterfree's wings a blue powder floated down and landed on team rocket's pokemon.

"Wake up you stupid pokemon!" Cheryl yelled.

"Graveller get them away! Rock slide!" Graveller jumped up and smashed into the ground.

He skidded along the ground at an amazing speed. The he impacted team rocket and sent them flying.

"Yes good work graveller! Return!" Within a second the large rock pokemon was in the ball.

"Thank you so much Will, Dylan." John said as he came out of the cabin.

"It's ok, that battle was fun!" Will replied.

"Thank you so much. I don't know how to repay you four." "You don't have to," Angela said walking out of the cabin.

"Thanks for the shelter John, but now since the rain has stopped we had better get ging." Dylan said.

"Thank you for helping me," "No problem."

The four kids walk off into the sunset as they leave John's cabin.
