The wait didn't take long. The Pokeball stops. Farfetch'd was his. Jack runs over to the Pokeball and picks it off the ground. He takes a moment to look at it.
"My first capture. Indeed a great one." Jack looks over a Vulpix. "A great battle deserves a rest." Vulpix goes into the Pokeball for a nap. Jack walks back towards Gregory.
Gregory lowers his head. "You can't capture Farfetch'd. The buyers said only my family can catch them. I'm sorry, but you need to give me that Farfetch'd." He looks back up at Jack.
Jack was shocked. "No way! Besides, they don't know that I caught one, right?"
Greogory shot back. "But I promised to report everything that happens, including captures by other people. Sorry." The argument lasted about five minutes. Jack keeps Farfetch'd but Gregory is going to tattle on him.
That night, Jack slept quickly at George's house.
The next morning came and Jack was quickly to exit the house after saying goodbye and continue his journey. The breakfast had energizing him and he felt good. After ten minutes, he could barely see the top of a building over some trees. "Vermillion City, I made it." With the extra energy, Jack ran to the city. Because of his training with Cross Country, this short run was easy. In no time at all, Jack had reached the sidewalk of Vermillion City. He walked down the cement path till he got to a corner. "It's been a while since I've been here. Sure looks different." He then noticed a park, with trees and a lake and children playing and having fun. Jack tries to remember. "I don't remember any park." Crossing the street, Jack heads over to the park to check it out. It was a half mile on each side of the park. It was very nice and clean.
Jack strolled down a small path, letting bicyclists go by. All the activity in this one park. But what got his attention the most was the fact that there were plenty of Pokemon, everywhere. "Pidgey, Rattata, um, a Caterpie, etc...." He walks by the lake. "Magikarp, Goldeen, etc..." He then spots the 'No Fishing' sign. "Oh well." Then he saw something that caught his attention. "Is that a Kakuna?" Yep, a Kakuna was up in the tree above him. It was sleeping while grabbing hold of the thick branch it was on. Jack takes out a Pokeball.
"Hold it." Jack turns to see an officer standing next to him. "Catching Pokemon in this park is prohibited between the hours of six AM and nine PM."
Jack sighs. Kakuna would make a very great Pokemon for his team. A Beedrill would help him out in the near future. But this rule was in the way. Only thing he could do was wait till nine at night. He points at the Kakuna. "I promise to be back tonight." Jack walks away as Kakuna opens one of its eyes.
After lunch at a small fast food joint across from the park, Jack searched his handheld computer for the Pokemart. He found the directions and walked into the rather large old-fashoioned building. He was window shopping inside the store.
"Look at all this selection. Even Pokemon for sale. But buying Pokemon just isn't my style."
The person at the cash register looked upon the customer. "You wouldn't happen to be a new trainer, would you?" Jack flips around and nods. The person puts a Pokedex on the counter. "If you want it, here you go."
Jack walks to the counter and takes the Pokedex and smiles. "Thanks." Even though he may never use it, he knows to never turn down free stuff.
After exploring the Pokemart, Jack wanders around the city and eventually get to the Pokecenter to wait 'til night time comes.
Night time has come. The moon shown brightly in the night sky. There were hardly any clouds so the stars shined throughout the sky. The buildings turn on their lights, so business can go on. Many citizens head home to rest from whatever they did when the sun was out. But some people stay out and try their luck at the park to catch whatever may be available that night.
Jack steps into the park. The few light poles lit up the park. The bright moonlight lit up whatever the light poles couldn't. Darkness was a wonderous thing at night, and sometimes lovely.
"I need to find some Pokemon to catch." Jack remembers watching the television at the Pokemoncenter. A commercial advertising for a Tournament. (ooc:I'm refering to the one this club will have some day.) "I have two Pokemon, I need six. Four more to catch." Jack was determined to be in the tournament. He was ready to catch almost anything.
Walking, walking, walking. During the day there were many Pokemon. But now, there were none to be found. After a while, Jack steps off of the path and onto the dew covered grass. No Pokemon were wandering around. "Maybe they are in these trees." *CRASH* A person accidentally runs into Jack. "Ow.." He apoligizes and continues on. Jack steps forward but notices something on the ground. With closer inpection, it's a flashlight. The person must have dropped it. Jack picks it up. "I could use this. Thanks mysterious person whom I'll never see again." He shines the light into the nearest tree. Nothing. He switches to another tree. Nada.
Suddenly, a sticky string is shot and lands on the back of Jack's head and hat. Jack feels the coldness and feels it with his hand. "It's String Shot." Jack turns around and shines his flashlight in the tree he had searched already. There a Spinarak hangs from a branch. It spits out another sticky string and hits Jack's shoes.
Jack gets angry. "That is just plain rude. Never shoot anyone in the back without them knowing, that's the cowards way." Jack wipes off the String Shot and steps out of range. He then selects a Pokeball and throws it out. Vulpix comes out yawning, with wide eyes. "Flamethrow that string." Vulpix opens up and fires at the string. Due to Spinarak's slowness, the string with which it was hanging from burns up. Spinarak falls to the ground. Vulpix quickly leaps forward and quickly hits Spinarak just after it lands on the ground. It sails in the air and lands at the base of a tree with its legs. Spinarak climbs up the tree to escape from Vulpix.
"Hmmm, fire is no good, I don't want to put the tree on fire. How about Confuse Ray. Do it." Vulpix nods as her eyes go purple. The purple ray goes out and hits Spinarak as it almost makes it to the leafy part of the tree and escaping from attack range. Spinarak's eyes were squigly. @.@ "Now, Quick Attack the tree." Vulpix rushes forward and smacks the tree with her side. The confused Spinarak lets go of the bark and falls to the ground. Upon hitting the ground, Spinarak became confused no more. It fought back with Psychic. The waves hit Vulpix with much pain. Vulpix weakens as Spinarak jumps on her and grabs tightly. It glows as the energy is sucked from Vulpix(Leech Life and Constrict at same time).
Jack didn't know what to do. "Shake it off." Vulpix used as much strength and shook and shook until Spinarak just let go. "Fire Spin." Vulpix got up and let loose the fire tornado. Spinarak was caught in the middle. As the fire closed in, Spinarak quickly shot a line up and luckily it hit a branch. Spinarak went up the line and barely makes it out of the fire.
"Wow! That's Amazing." Jack looks to Vulpix. "Take it down." Vulpix fires, not at the line, but straight at Spinarak. It was a weak Flamethrower but did the job as Spinarak fell to the grass once again. Spinarak, all burnt up, sucks it then fires out a cirular spider web. It goes over Vulpix and traps her. Jack starts to run over to Vulpix to free her, but Spinarak fires a String Shot purposly missing as a warning. It inches closer to Vulpix who is too weak to even do a fire attack.
"Good try Vulpix. Return." Spinarak jumps on the web as Vulpix is returned. "Next." His second Pokemon, Farfetch'd comes out.
"Far?"
Spinarak quickly notices its new 'friend'. It steps forward as Farfetch'd runs at it. Poison Sting is fired but Farfetch'd holds up its wing to block it from hitting his face.
"Farfetch'd, you need to wait til I give you a command. It's too tired to battle, so use Agility with Slash and you should be fine." Farfetch'd looks into its trainers eyes. He nods in agreement. Farfetch'd dashes from one side to another as Poison Sting misses continuously. Farfetch'd gets up close to Spinarak and...*Smack*...Pecks Spinarak on the back extra hard. Spinarak falls down, collapsing from the heat of the battle.
"I don't think that was a Slash but oh well." Jack takes out an open Pokeball but remembers something. "Oh yeah. Farfetch'd, False Swipe." Farfetch'd walks up to the exhausted Spinarak. He raises his leak and slashes downward, releasing a light pink power on Spinarak. (Imagine False Swipe kinda like Bladebeam from FF7). Spinarak then attemps to get up but goes back down as Farfetch'd Leers into its spider eyes.
"Now I can go." Jack threw the Pokeball forward and watched as Spinarak was sucked in. Farfetch'd stood next to the ball as it rocked back and forth....
~Graded: Spinarak caught
