Part two for your enjoyment.  (Yeah, right.)  As before,
this part needs C&C too.

(Disclaimer)

The Unwilling Champ Pt. 1

 "Pokeball, go!" Brandon shouted as he hurled the red and
white sphere to the center of the floor.

As soon as it hit the tile, it opened up and a spurt of
white came out, forming into a two-headed bird. "Gawww!" one
of the heads squawked.

Jenn took out her newly acquired pokedex and aimed at the
creature. <<Doduo.>> it said. <<The twin bird pokemon. It
makes up for its poor flying with its incredible speed and
agility. Leaves giant footprints.>>

"Doduo, huh?" Jenn said. "We can take care of it, right
Squirtle?"

"Squirt." The Squirtle said.

Meanwhile, Brandon was trying to remember what moves Doduo
knew. "Lessee, uh�drill peck, um� tri attack� takedown�"

"Squirtle, tackle it!" Jenn shouted.

Brandon frantically shouted the last move he knew. "Fly
Doduo!"

Unfortunately, Brandon forgot that they were inside and
Doduo smacked its heads on the ceiling and collapsed to the
floor painfully. "Gwaaak." One head said angrily.

"Sorry, Doduo," Brandon said sheepishly. Then he noticed
that the Squirtle had stopped in mid-tackle and was rolling
on the floor, laughing its head off, as was Jenn. "Hey! Stop
laughing at Doduo!" Even though Brandon had only been in
Pallet for an hour of two, he still felt attached to his
pokemon.

Jenn and her Squirtle didn�t stop laughing and Brandon's
left eye began to twitch. "Fine," he growled. "Doduo,
Tri-attack!"

The odd-looking bird's eyes began to glow and it moved its
heads in a triangle pattern, bringing its heads together at
the peak. When it finished, a triangle shaped blast of
energy rocketed toward the Squirtle, knocking it down and
blasting away a cabinet on the far wall. Squirtle didn�t get
up. "Ah ha!" Brandon shouted, hugging Doduo. "We did it! We
won!"

Doduo seemed just as happy as it squawked its happiness.

Jenn ran up to her unconscious pokemon and cradled it in her
arms. She pulled a revive from her pocket. "It'll be okay
Squirtle. Drink this." She soothed. Soon Squirtle was back
on its feet and ready to fight. Jenn directed her anger
toward Brandon. "You. I want a rematch. No Doduo this time."

"What?!" Brandon exclaimed as he patted on of Doduos heads.
Doduo expressed its surprise as well. "Fine. You did good,
Doduo."

"Gwaak."

"Return." Brandon commanded as he fumbled with the pokeball.
As soon as Doduo was back in its ball, Brandon plucked
another one off his belt. "What's this one?"

Brandon tossed the ball in front of him and watched in glee
as his favorite pokemon spurted out. "Dratini!" he
exclaimed. He began to giggle maniacally.

The small snake like pokemon blinked its eyes a few times as
it adjusted to the light.
"Dratini?" it said. It soon caught sight of Brandon and
slithered over to his leg and began to rub up against him.
"Dratini, ini!" it exclaimed.

"I guess it likes me." He said. "Ready?" he asked Jenn.

Jenn nodded. "Ready when you are." She answered.

"Dratini," Brandon shouted. "Sl-"

"Hold it!" Professor Oak shouted as he came out of the back
room. "Take it outside. I don�t want you two to demolish my
lab!"

Brandon and Jenn looked at each other briefly before they
ushered their pokemon out into the fray. ( You see, all of
the other trainers were out there battling each other�in
that ten foot area that I described in the other chapter. )

The professor scratched his head as he followed the two
young trainers into the daylight.
"That young mans pokemon are quite powerful. I wonder why?"
he shrugged his shoulders. "Oh, well. At least he'll be a
decent trainer."

By the time he got out side the battle between Jenn and
Brandon was over and the other trainers were standing in
shock around the two. Brandon's Dratini looked pretty beat
up but it was standing, (and dripping) over and unconscious
Squirtle. "Return, Dratini."
Brandon commanded.

As the red beam shot out of the poke ball, Dratini dodged
out of the way and the beam kicked up a cloud of dust in the
dirt. "Dratini, return." Brandon said again.
The small dragon shook its head. "Tini dratini ini. Dratin
ii ini."
<Waitaminute!> Brandon thought.  <I just under stood that!>

The professor shook his head and laughed. "Looks like you
need to gain the respect of your pokemon, Brandon." He said.
"All you nee-"

"He doesn�t need to get any stupid respect." Jenn said
angrily as she held her smoldering Squirtle.

The professor's jaw dropped and he glanced over at Squirtle
then Dratini. "What did it do?" he asked.

"Hyper beam." Brandon said. His Dratini climbed up and
perched on his shoulders as Brandon gave it a puzzled look.
<I can under stand them?> he wondered.

"H-h-h-hyper beam?!" Oak shouted. "What level is that
anyway?"
Jenn returned he Squirtle to its pokeball and pointed her
pokedex at the Dratini. "Level,
moves and description." She commanded.

<<Dratini. The dragon pokemon. This pokemon was thought to
be extinct until a large colony was recently discovered
under water. They use moves such as slam, thunder wave and
wrap. However, this Dratini is an anomaly with moves such
as, Hyper beam, slam, blizzard and surf. Level twenty.>>

The professor nearly fainted. "Level twenty!?" he shouted.
His eyes glazed over and he went into a gibbering trance.
Something about how pokemon that small shouldn�t know those
kind of moves.

Jenn had her own reactions. "No wonder you won." She said.
"Squirtle is only level six."
"I didn�t know that," Brandon argued.

"Humph. I hope I never see you again," Jenn growled as she
stomped off toward Pallets very small pokemon center.

The professor finally snapped out of his stupor. "Well, you
have a very special Dratini there." He said. "Please follow
me into my lab."
"Tini dratini ini?" Dratini asked.

"I dunno. We'll have to wait and see." Brandon said.

"What was that?" the professor asked.

"Nothin'"

Brandon followed the professor into the lab and was amazed
that the cabinet destroyed by Doduo was already fixed.
Brandon then followed Oak into a back room where he began
rummaging through a drawer. "I know it's in here�" the
professor mumbled.

"What's in there?" Brandon asked as he set Dratini on the
floor.

"Your pokedex."

"Oh!" Brandon exclaimed grabbing the game boy. "Don�t
bother. I already have one."
The professor raised an eyebrow at that. "How?  Never mind
that.  Ah! Here they are your pokeballs."

Brandon looked down as the professor dumped six small
spheres in his hands. "I already have six pokemon though."
Brandon said.

"But you will probably want more, won't you?" the professor
asked.
Brandon had to admit, the professor had him there. And Din
just gave him the six
pokemon he had on his belt. Brandon put the six pokeballs in
the backpack that
Professor Oak kindly provided for him and then made his
good-byes. Dratini curled up around Brandon's neck and
promptly fell asleep. "Go ahead and sleep pal, you've earned
it." After about an hour of uneventful travel Brandon came
upon his first wild pokemon. It was small and purple and had
long whiskers and fangs. Even though he knew what it was he
still pointed the game boy at it.

<<Rattata. The rat pokemon. This pokemon is small and quick.
When it attacks it bites anything.>>

"Rattata huh?" Brandon said casually. He decided that even
though it was a rather common pokemon, it might come in
handy later on. "Okay, go Dratini!" he shouted.

But he forgot that Dratini was still asleep. "Oops. Sorry,
Dratini. Pokeball go!" he shouted in a whisper. (Oxymoron
intended.)

As soon as the pokeball hit the ground it opened and spit
out a small purple, horned pokemon that had spines running
down his back. "Nido nidoran?" It said grumpily. After all
it probably had been sleeping too.

"Ooh." Brandon said. "Hey Nidoran."

The Nidoran male turned around and smiled, or tried to, at
Brandon. "Nidoran ni."
By now the Rattata had become aware of Brandon and his
pokemon watching him. "Ra rattata rat." It said as it ran
away.

<I guess I can't understand wild pokemon.> Brandon mused. He
shook him self out of his small trance. "Nidoran," he
shouted, "Go after it and�"

Brandon stopped mid-shout. What were Nidorans moves anyway.
He sat down and pondered as the Nidoran chased the Rattata
into the grass and sounds of fighting were heard. "Okay,"
Brandon thought. "What are Nidorans moves?"

By the time he had remembered them, the Nidoran had dragged
the semi-conscious rat out of the grass and set it at
Brandon's feet. "Good job, Nidoran." Brandon said as he
tossed the pokeball. The Rattata didn�t give much resistance
and as soon as it was caught
Brandon picked it up and attached it to his belt. "Nidoran,
return."

( For those of you that are wondering, Nidorans attacks are,
Earthquake, Rockslide, Thrash, and Strength. )

Brandon attached the ball containing Nidoran to his belt and
scratched the slumbering Dratini's head. "Next stop,
Viridian City."

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

James sat on the ground next to Jessie with his arms crossed
over his chest. He was in a very bad mood and Jessie had to
drag him all the way back to Viridian forest. "Why do we
have to come all the way back here, Jessie?" he whined.

Jessie reached over and smacked him with her fan, not even
looking at him. "Get out your binoculars and look at this."

James grumbled as he pulled the binoculars out of his pocket
and put them to his face.
"Hoo boy, she's hot!" he shouted. The girl he saw was
extremely beautiful. Her blond hair fell to her waist in a
long ponytail, and her bikini glistened in the sun from the
water her
Squirtle was spraying her with. "I think I'm in love."

Jessie pounded him into the ground. "Not her you dolt. Him."
She pointed James' binoculars at the spot she was looking.

Now, as you all know, James has three loves in his life;
food, beautiful women, and a certain pokemon. "Ahhhhh!!" he
shouted. "A Dratini!" As he looked at the sleeping dragon
wrapped around someone's neck, a small stream of drool fell
from his mouth.

Meowth suddenly appeared behind them. "That's why Butch and
Cassidy have been assigned to the Pikachu job."  He pointed
in the direction of the Dratini.  "The boss doesn�t know
about it though�"

James hauled himself to his feet and put the binoculars
away. "Shall we?" he asked, offering his arm to Jessie.

Jessie accepted it and the two sprinted down the hill with
Meowth desperately trying to catch up.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

 Brandon was amazed to say the least. Even being an avid fan
of the show, the forest and even the pokemon looked
completely different in real life. "Wow." He said, awed.

The sounds of Pidgey and Spearow periodically punctuated the
stillness. Brandon looked around and spotted a quick flash
of green. "What was that?" he asked.

He slowly turned around and caught another flash that
disappeared into a bush, but recognized it this time. "A
Caterpie." He said. "Only a Caterpie."

The Caterpie came out of the bush that it was in and made a
confused whirring noise.
Most trainers would try to catch it then pull their hair out
in frustration when it would break out. But this trainer
just ignored him. It very slowly edged over to him and made
a questioning whir�

And was greeted by a very angry Charmander. "Charrrr!" it
shouted as it sprang from the pokeball spewing red-hot flame
at the Caterpie. In an instant, the Caterpie was charred to
a crisp and fell to the ground.

"Good job, Charmander. Return." Brandon said, pointing the
pokeball at Charmander and sucking it in.  Then he pulled an
empty pokeball out of his pack and tossed it at the
Caterpie.

The ball rocked three times and then dinged, indicating that
Caterpie was caught.  The ball vanished as Brandon picked it
up, and went back to Professor Oak.  "Have fun,
Caterpie."

Brandon continued on his way and finally reached the edge of
the forest.  Dratini slithered down off his shoulder and
looked at the beams of sunlight streaming through the
opening.

"Dratini?" it asked.

"Yep, we're almost out." Brandon answered.  "In fact�"

"Prepare for trouble!"

"And make it double!"

Brandon slapped his forehead and moaned, "Not them, not
now."

Dratini looked around in confusion.  It had no idea what was
going on.

"To protect the world from devastation."

"To unite all peoples within our nation."

"To denounce the evils of truth and love."

"To extend our reach to the stars above."

"Jessie!" Jessie said as she dropped down from the trees.

"James!" James said as he fell from the branches.

"Team Rocket, blast off at the speed of light!"

"Surrender now or prepare to fight."

"Meowth, that�s right!"

Brandon was now sobbing into his hands from the pain that
listening to the motto caused while Dratini was still as
confused as ever.  Brandon eventually stopped and looked at
Dratini.  "Get ready." He mouthed.  Dratini nodded rather
hesitantly.  Then he looked back to Team Rocket as he
reached to his belt and grabbed another ball.

James pointed at the Dratini.  "Hand over the Dratini," he
commanded.

"Or get ready to suffer," Jessie said.

Meowth laughed.
