Chapter 2: The Quest Begins
=====================================================================================
"Pidgey!" is screeched through the air as the sound of wind and flapping wings rush at you.
"T-totodile! Help!" You manage to get out as you throw yourself to one side, just barley missing the razor sharp claws of the Pidgey who lands nearby.
"Totodile!" You Totodile rushes in with no hesitation and starts charging at your foe.
"Totodile, use scratch!" You scream sit a little uneasy from your dodge.
Your Totodile jumps at thw Pidgey and you hear a sickening slicing sound as his claws cut into the Pidgey.
Theres blood...a lot of blood...
There was never any blood in the Pokemon games...Not even in the anime.
"Pi-pidgey..." The Pidgey is taking quick short steps backwards stumbling over itself and finally it's body gives out and it falls.
You stare at the Pidgey soaked in its own blood.
"Is this what he meant by it not being like the games?" You mumble to yourself still in a state of shock about what had just occured.
The Pidgey is slightly moving still. Its breathing looks shallow but it might survive. You don’t know if that is a good thing or not.
“Maybe I can take it to the PokeCenter and heal it.”
As you stand up, your Totodile walks over to the Pidgey and places his jaws around its neck.
"Pidg-!" the bird cries out as you turn your head and hear hear a blood curdling crunch.
You look back up and you see the Pidgey still laying there, except it isn’t moving anymore. Your Totodile is walking over to you with a happy expression on his face. He stands there looking at you wagging his tail.
“Totodile~” He exclaims and looks at you as if nothing had just happened.
You reach down and place your hand on his head and pet him.
“Better him then us I guess…”
You stand there for a moment thinking to yourself
Pokemon never die, they just faint but…that Pidgey…
There is no mistaking that it is dead. What else is different in this world?
Could my Pokemon die?
You look at your Totodile who has found a rather large branch and is happily chewing on it.
“Well you sure like to chew on things, don’t you?” You remember that you always loved to give your Pokemon names in the games you played.
“Chomper. That’s a good nickname, isn’t it?”
“Totodile~!” Your Totodile screams as in poses in a comical fasion.
“I guess you like it then.” You say, petting him once more.
“If I ever want to get home I am going to have to capture more Pokemon like my Totodi- like Chomper. I’m going to have to raise them and make them stronger than anything else!”
You set back off into the grass with a new found vigor and Chomper is happily following you.
You soon reach a small town, the sign says “Cherry Grove City” As you step into the town you see an elderly man waving you over.
“Welcome to Cherry Grove, young man” the elderly man says in a cheerful voice.
“Thanks.” You say, not really knowing what else to do.
“Let me give you a tour of the town! It is really quick and I have nothing better anyways.” The old man rushes off.
“Damn politeness” you mumble to yourself as you follow him. “I have better things to do then be taken on a tour.” This old man moves quick!
You catch up to the old man as he has stopped at what appears to be a PokeCenter.
“Having trouble keeping up?” The old man says, laughing to himself.
“Just a little, its kinda hard to run in these shoes”
“I’ll try and slow down” The old man says and then goes into a complex explination of the town and all its buildings, the sea and the people. The tour ends at a house that looks older then the man himself.
“Now for being such a good youngin on the tour I have a gift for you.” The old man says as he steps inside and pops back out just as quickly holding a box with a small chip ontop of it.
“Th e first gift is this map of the region.” He says as he takes your Pokegear wrist and plugs the chip into it.
A little display pops up on your Pokegear and labels itself “Map”
“The second gift is these” He says opening the box. Inside are a pair of running shoes, they look like the type you would see altheles wear.
“Thanks you say trying on the shoes.”
“No problem” the old man says “I’ll take care of these” He picks up your old shoes and tosses them into the garbage.
“I have to get going, thanks for the tour and the gifts.” You say waving to the man as you make your way out of town.
You start walking at the only other exit in town when you stop and realize something….
“Where does Mr. Pokemon live?” you ask yourself.
