Charmander's Everlasting Flame
I woke up, once again, to the weird feeling of materializing out of my pokéball. "Charmander char! Charmander," I grumped. Of course, JJ, my trainer, thought I was just excited about the battle.
Okay, maybe I should back up just a little bit. I'm a Charmander, and I've belonged to JJ for about 3 months. He's a pretty decent guy, but I was having a nice dream!
I turned to face my opponent. A Rattata. Couldn't JJ have called out Nidoran? Or Spearow? I sighed. "Charmander, flamethrower attack NOW!" I blew a small jet of flame at the Rattata, and it fainted.
I couldn't believe the other trainer even bothered to try and raise that puny rat. "Good job, Charmander!"
"Mander char," I answered. Since I had done such a good job barbequeing that Rattata, JJ decided to let me stay out of my pokéball. Like I said, he can be a pretty nice guy. I asked him if Bulbasaur could come out too.
"Charmander char, mander char char mander?" Now that his excitement about winning the battle was lessened, he actually paid attention to what I was saying. "Sure Bulbasaur can come out too. Squirtle deserves to be let out as well..." It ended up with all 5 of his other pokémon sitting out with me. There was Bulbasaur, Squirtle, Spearow, Nidoran(male), Caterpie and of course, me. We were in the middle of Viridian Forest, and there was plenty to explore. We all ran off in different directions at once.
"Char char!"
"Bulbasaur!"
"Nido!"
"Spear!"
"Pie!"
"Squirt squirtle!" was kind of the noise that we made put together, yelling that we wouldn't run away.
I saw an apple tree, and decided to take a climb. I hoisted myself up from branch to branch, and finally found a comfy place where I could sit and eat. I munched on my apple, and watched Nidoran beat up a Weedle. He shouldn't pick fights like that, but he won't listen when we tell him that. When I finished my apple, I decided to bring one or two for Squirtle. All the others could climb trees like me, and Spearow ate worms. Squirtle is afraid of heights, though, so I brought him some lunch. Even if he wasn't afraid, his shell would probably get in the way. "Squirtle squirt squirt," he thanked me.
"Mander char char" (No problem, buddy) I replied. He ate near a stream, and I sat beside him.
Then, once he was done, he suddenly tapped me on the arm and said, "Squirtle squirt!" (You're it!) I ran after Squirtle, but he's pretty fast. So I snuck up behind Bulbasaur, tapped him on the bulb, and said, "Mander char!" (You're it now!) That might have been a mistake because of his vines, but he couldn't touch me back. Game rules. So I watched him tag Nidoran, who went and tagged Squirtle. Squirtle saw me and started running. I laughed, and started running too. I was looking behind me to see if he was gaining (which he was, because he's faster than me), when I saw his expression change from laughing to horror. He stopped dead in his tracks as I... WHAT? I wasn't running on the grass anymore, I was... I looked down. OVER THE RIVER! I thought, "Oh no. I'm gonna die. I'M GONNA DIE!" I splashed heavily into the cold river. After flailing around for a good 5 minutes, I managed to clamber onto the bank. What?... I was still alive! I looked over my shoulder to see my tail flame burning brightly, as though nothing had happened.
"Weird," I thought to myself, as I walked back to JJ, who was calling us.
As I walked, I saw Squirtle with tears in his eyes telling JJ what had happened. I guess he ran and tried to get help when he saw me fall in, but he didn't find me when he came back because I had washed downstream. I saw a tear in JJ's eye as he hugged his other pokémon close. That's so sweet. He cried for me.
I walked out of the bushes. He didn't seem to notice me until I was about 5 feet from him. He looked up with a questioning look. "Charmander?" he whispered. Then his eyes lit up as he yelled "Charmander!" and ran towards me. He picked me up and hugged me. Then he asked how I was still alive.
"Charmander char char," (I don't know) I confessed. But he was too happy to really care. Then he had a thought. "I'm going to take you to the pokémon center in Pewter as soon as I can. Nurse Joy should be able to figure out what happened." So off we went to Pewter City.
