Chereads / POKEMON RISE / Chapter 9 - a girl named Chloe.

Chapter 9 - a girl named Chloe.

The sun rises,  shining brightly on viridian city.

The doduos crow as the warm embrace of the sun touches their feathers waking up almost everyone getting them ready for the day.

-ring ring-

An alarm clock goes off  waking up a certain trainer.

 The alarm clock was turned  off by a ten year old girl with curly orange hair with green eyes.

"What day is it....."  Chloe got out of bed and started to stretch.

"Chloe breakfast is ready, get dressed and come down stairs ok?" Her mom called her from downstairs.

"ok!"

Chloe's mom poured orange juice into a glass waiting for her daughter to get down for breakfast.

"I'm here!" She called out running downstairs with a  trainer cap, a white top with a  black and red mini jacket  draping over it and a red skirt with stockings.

"How do I look?" Chloe asked, twirling around in one place.

"You look amazing dear."  Chloe's mom clapped in joy. "Now sit down and eat your breakfast, you'll leave in a minute."

Chloe sat down and enjoyed her breakfast talking to her mom.

"So what pokemon are you going to get? I heard professor Oak is in Viridian city today so you wont need to travel far to see him."  

That question stayed with Chloe for a while; she didn't have an answer to it.

"I don't know yet." Chloe responded taking a bite out of a piece of toast her mom made.

"Well I'm sure whatever choice you make ..it'll be the right one.

"I'm heading out now mom!" 

"alright take care!" 

Chloe closes the door behind her and fixes her trainer bag ensuring it's adjusted to her height.

"ok. ..let's do this." Chloe started to leave the first order of business, finding professor oak.

"Hey Chloe!" an old man called out from  his house porch. He was well known for teaching trainers how to catch him even though Chloe.

"Hey!" Chloe responded, waving at the old man.

"quick question, do you know where oak is?" Chloe asked the oldman.

He thought about it for a second "I think he was at... the pokemart handing out pokemon to new trainers.

"ok thanks!" She ran off  to get her new pokemon without a moment of hesitation.

"And there she goes always in a hurry." The oldman laughed to himself

--

"ok he should be over.... here!" Chloe stopped at the pokemart and peeked through one of the windows to find  Prof. Oak at the stands buying potions, probably heading out soon.

Chloe, seeing an opportunity, rushed  in to greet the professor.

"hey ..professor oak?"

The professor turned around to see Chloe happily bobbing up and down.

"oh so you're one of the new trainers." Professor Oak scratched his head.

Chloe nodded repeatedly very ecstatically 

"I'm sorry little one but ..I just ran out of pokemon-" 

Chloe's heart immediately sank .

"It's ok.." Chloe said, hiding her disappointment.

professor oak pats her head and leaves the moment he does Chloe walks up to the counter giving the clerk 10 dollars.

"one pokeball please!" 

 desperation slowly crept in  from the shadows

______

She stood by the viridian  forest entrance scared to go through but eventually walked into viridian forest.

The bushes were as tall and scary as she  remembered as a kid  bug pokemon were everywhere and no one was around.

"Aaahhhh!!"  Jeffery pops his head out of the bushes falling to the ground.

Chloe immediately lets out a blood curtailing scream .

"Look Ayuna, we lost the beedrills and we finally made it!" he said, pointing to the passageway out of the forest.

I slowly stepped out of the bushes with the kid.

"yeah they stopped following us for a while now."

"eh?" Chloe looked at us confused

"are you two.." 

"hey Chloe!" Jeffery waved with a smile still on the ground.

"hi" I also waved.

"were you guys coming from pewter city?" Chloe asked us confused to why we were excited to go back home.

"uhh no? we came from viridian obviously I'm surprised you're going back this early." I gave her a blank look.

"This is the gate to viridian-" 

...

...

..

"WE WENT IN CIRCLES???" both me and jeffery screamed 

I'm so done with this forest! 

"hey-" Chloe tried to get our attention from our existential  crisis. 

"huh?"both me and Jeffery looked at her at the same time.

"Can I travel with you guys? like for a little while." She asked, holding the pokeball next to her.

"Sure thing!" Jeffery gave her a big thumbs.

I start to look around the forest.

"We should head this way this time." I suggested

Everyone nodded and started to walk.

 

"So ..." Chloe tried to start a conversation whilst they were walking.

"you said something about beedrills.....how did that whole thing happen?" 

"oh- uh you see-" Jeffery stuttered for a while before I interrupted.

"It's all Jeffrey's  fault!" 

___

The forest was starting to get dark and  there was no sign of a way out or we were very bad with directions.

"we should be getting close." Jeffery marched on pushing the bushes out of the way.

" ..I think we're walking into a beedrill nest." I looked at all the  kukunas and the weedles all around the place.

"what makes you say tha-"  a kukuna fell on his head interrupting him.

He held  his head in pain "stupid-" he started to mutter alot of things none of which I could hear and out of his anger he kicked the kukuna  sending it back a bit bouncing almost like a ball.

The shell began to crack and a beedrill slowly emerged from the shell.

"Jeffery...." 

"yeah?" 

"should we start running?"

"yeah...."
