Pokemon Fan Fiction ❯ Pokemon Heroes ❯ Cerulean Adventures: Kammy ( Chapter 9 )

Author's Note: Anyone (if there is such a person) who has been reading this regularly has noticed an increase in chapters. Honestly, I have so many ideas for this fanfiction, which take up so many chapters, if I'm going to finish before I'm forty, I need to write a lot.

 

The sun shone brightly on the Pokemon Center of Cerulean City. The three young heroes had awoken, feeling brighter and better than ever. “I think you should call your mom, Kammy” Samantha told her soon after they had waked up. She nodded in agreement, and dialed her mother on the videophone.

 

A few minutes had passed, and nobody answer. “Hmm… I guess she's not home,” Kammy said, wondering where her mother could possibly be at the moment. Dismissing any thought of Misty being in danger, she rejoined her friends, who were all ready to leave.

 

“So, are you guys ready to watch me win my next badge?” Kammy asked excitedly, but neither Jesse nor Samantha answered right away. When Kammy began to realize what was wrong, Samantha finally told her “Actually Kammy, we were hoping to explore the town a little bit, first” Kammy seemed a little disappointed by this. Seeing this, Jesse added, “Honestly, Kammy, I think this could be good for you. This way, you'd have time to rest, train your Pokemon, and prepare yourself for your upcoming battle”

Kammy smiled at Jesse's words. “I guess you're right” She told him. The three stepped outside the Pokemon Center, speaking to each other on what they were going to spend the day doing on the way out. “Well, obviously, I'm going to go train, and prepare myself for this upcoming battle” Kammy told them. She and Jesse turned to Samantha, who quietly thought to herself for a moment. Soon after, she stated, “I think I'll just explore the town. I have a few things I need to think about anyway…” She seemed to trail off after that. Kammy's expression seemed somewhat curious, but Jesse merely shrugged it off, telling them about a special attraction Cerulean had recently opened.

 

“Cerulean City is home to an outside pool, where trainers and Water-type Pokemon come to battle each other. They're open to spectators, so I think I'll go watch” With all of them having decided, the trio said their temporary goodbyes, and set off to fulfill their goals while in Cerulean.

 

Kammy stood in front of the Cerulean City gym as it towered over her. The outer gym looked exactly as her mother described it, with the already familiar Dewgong shining for the rest of the city to see. She sighed, wishing she could go in and battle now, but wouldn't dare without the support of her two friends. Instead, she went off, to the outskirts of town, and began to train her Pokemon. Kammy found an area with a group of rocks they could practice against.

 

She started with her Weedle, practicing on a smaller rock than the other ones she had found. “Lets start with a Poison Sting on this rock!” The small worm Pokemon diligently obeyed. It lunged at the rock with the glowing stinger on its head however, little damage came of the rock. “Hmm… it seems you need a lot more training” Kammy said, without realizing that she had hurt her Pokemon. Noticing its disappointed look, Kammy kneeled down and looked it in they eye, wearing a bright smile on her face “We'll keep practicing, Bugs. You'll become one of my strongest Pokemon, I promise!” This seemed to cheer the Bug Pokemon up considerably.

 

Moving on to her next Pokemon, she had sent out Mickey, her female Nidoran. “Try using Double Kick!” Mickey leapt into the air, placing two kicks on a huge rock. The rock cracked slightly. Kammy decided to press forward. “Okay, now use Fury Swipes!” Mickey clawed at the rock several times, causing the rock to crack a bit more. “Almost there, Mickey! Use Scratch!” The Nidoran jumped into the air, and clawed a single time at the rock, shattering it. “Nice job, Mickey! You've come a long way!”

 

Finally, she ended with her starter Pokemon, Flare. The Charmander stared at the largest rock of them all. “Let's try some new moves, Flare. Try Dragon Rage!” The Charmander shot a stream of oddly colored, fire-like substance from its mouth. The rock broke instantly. “Nice job Flare!” Kammy congratulated. Little did she know, however, she was being watched from behind a nearby bush.

 

“Okay, so this new TM” The familiar voice of Jimmy “Will teach one of our Pokemon Iron Tail?”

“Yes!” Allison whispered loudly “Now be quiet, or she'll hear you”. As quietly as possible, they summoned their two Pokemon, Rattata, and Squirtle. “So which Pokemon are we going to use it on?” Jimmy asked. Allison grinned selfishly “My Rattata, of course!”

“Why? Squirtle could use it too”

“Because my Rattata is better than that stupid turtle!” Allison yelled, standing up. Kammy looked over at them, somewhat stunned. “What are you two doing here?" Kammy asked. Jimmy and Allison looked at each other nervously “I think this is where Mom and Dad always said that motto they told us about” Allison said. “No time! Lets just attack! Squirtle, use Water Gun on that Charmander!” Jimmy yelled

 

Allison commanded her Pokemon just like Jimmy had. “Rattata, use Bite!” Both Pokemon launched their attacks. Rattata jumped at Flare, in an attempt to bite it. Flare dodged Rattata's bite, but was hit by Squirtle's water gun. “Flare, are you alright?” Kammy asked worriedly. She began running over to it, but the Jr. Team Rocket had other ideas. “Okay, fire the net… NOW!” Allison yelled. Jimmy fired a rocket-like net at Flare, ensnaring it, and dragging it to them. “Alright, now lets go!”

 

The Jr. Team Rocket ran off, carrying the Charmander on their backs. “Wait, STOP!” Kammy yelled, chasing after them. “Keep going!” Allison yelled as they both continued running.

 

After about a few hours of chasing them, Kammy had lost sight of them both. Darkness was setting over the forest. By now, despair had completely consumed Kammy. She had soon stopped walking, and began crying, weeping for her lost Charmander. “I guess… this is, goodbye, Flare,” She said silently crying to herself. She was so distracted by her grief; she hadn't noticed something came out of the bushes. This Pokemon stood upright, not on two feet, but two thin weed-like vines. Instead of arms, two green leaves extended from its sides. Its head was yellow, except for a huge opening that made for its mouth. This Pokemon walked over, and patted Kammy on the back. Kammy just now realized, however, that this Pokemon was even there.

 

“Oh… umm… hello” Kammy said meekly. The Bellsprout made its best attempt to smile at her, but Kammy did not return the same effort. “Listen, Bellsprout. I'm not really feeling too good right now. So if you-”

 

A loud scream from elsewhere in the forest had interrupted her speech. Lifting herself up, she ran as fast as she could after them, dropping one of her Pokeballs in the process. She ran too the source of the noise, where Allison and Jimmy were being attacked by a group of Scyther in the area. Allison smiled at their predicament, until the Scyther found out about her presence, not appreciating it any more than the Jr. Team Rocket's.

 

“RUN!” They all yelled simultaneously. Jimmy and Allison, still carrying Flare on their back, followed Kammy into the twilight. They continued to run, but the Scyther kept up right behind them. Eventually, Kammy was tired of running.

 

“We can't run any longer!” Kammy shouted, “We have to battle! I choose you, Bugs!” Kammy tossed her Pokeball, and out of it came her Weedle. “Is THAT the best you have?” yelled Allison hysterically. “Are you going to help are not!” Kammy barked back at her “Bugs use Poison Sting!” The worm lunged at one of the Scyther, only slightly damaging it. “Alright Squirtle, use Water Gun!” Jimmy tossed his Pokeball. His turtle Pokemon joined the fray now, launching a stream of water at another Scyther. “Oh, alright. Rattata, use bite!” Allison's rat Pokemon jumped from its Pokeball, taking a vicious bite at another Scyther. They bug Pokemon decided to fight back, swinging at their Pokemon with Fury Cutter and X-Scissor attacks.

 

Bugs had a difficult time dodging its Scyther's onslaught of relentless attacks. Every once in a while, it was struck with a vicious blow, but got up each time, determined to impress its owner. “Bugs… what should we do. Wait, what's happening???”

 

Bugs had stopped battling, but instead began to glow brightly. The now pure light form began to change shape from its previous worm-like state, to more of a Cocoon shape. “Wow, you're Weedle just evolved” Jimmy observed “Into a Kakuna”

 

“Nice job Bugs!” said Kammy, beaming “Use Harden!” The Kakuna glowed once again, but for a much shorter duration than before. After this, however, the Scythe-wielding Pokemon had no effect on Kakuna. “Now Rattata, try Bite!” Allison commanded.

“Squirtle, use Water Gun!” Jimmy said, doing the same. Kammy tossed another Pokeball, releasing her female Nidoran. “Mickey, use Scratch!”

 

All three Pokemon launched their attack, driving away the Scyther that had been terrorizing them. While Jr. Team Rocket celebrated, an idea had formed in Kammy's head. She silently returned her Bugs, then whispered to Mickey “Try using Fury Swipes on that net over there” In quick motion, Mickey slashed at the net, shredding it entirely. Jr. Team Rocket had noticed this, and glared at Kammy.

 

“How dare you!” Allison yelled, “We stole it fair and square!” Kammy just laughed, however, and commander her two Pokemon “Flare, use flamethrower!”

The Charmander launched a stream of flame at Jr. Team Rocket and their Pokemon, burning them to a crisp. “Now Mickey, use Double Kick!” Mickey, using two well-placed kicks, sent them both flying. Kammy laughed as they flew threw the air; even knowing that wasn't the last she'd see of them. `I should probably get back' Kammy thought to herself, `I bet Jesse and Samantha are worried about me'. She walked back through her path, noticing the Pokeball she had dropped earlier. She bent down to pick it up, but upon her touch, it popped open, revealing the Bellsprout from before. “So I guess you caught yourself, huh?” Kammy laughed “Oh well. You can come with me, I suppose”. She returned the new Bellsprout to its Pokeball, and walked back to Cerulean, headed toward the now rising sun.
