Chapter 18 - Time for Operation: Orangepeel
Ruben decided to head South from Lavender Town. The route was a small dock nestled on a body of water. There were Fisherman a plenty on the route; sending out their fleet of aquatic Pokemon at Ruben, only for them to be quickly dispatched by DaveBlaney the Jolteon and Petrocetti the Kadabra.
Eventually, Ruben came across a giant sleeping Pokemon. This large creature was called a Snorlax and was a green-ish blue colored cat-like Pokemon with a large cream-colored spot on its stomach. It was sleeping contently, nothing Ruben could do would wake it up....except Ruben just remembered that Poke Flute he got from Mr. Fuji. He pulled it out and began to play. The tune was a peaceful one to Ruben's ears but a rather unsettling one to the Snorlax's ears. The Snorlax began to twitch and tremble as it cried out and thrust-ed Ruben into battle.
Ruben sent out Evan, his Charizard. Charizard emitted a powerful stream of fire and was eager to test his mettle against the wild Snorlax. Snorlax and Evan traded blows. However, as Ruben readied a Ball to catch Snorlax, Snorlax used Rest. In an instant; Snorlax fell asleep and was completely healed. However, the Snorlax had a Chesto Berry tucked away somewhere and its effect activated. Snorlax got away, scot free with a free heal. Ruben gritted his teeth and Evan was ordered to charge at the Snorlax. Again, the two traded blows. Ruben decided to swap Evan out with Pi Fighter as Evan was getting increasingly tired from the fight.
Ruben checked his Bag and saw he had a few Great Balls. Great Balls were light-blue colored Poke Balls with two red stripe-like bumps on the top of the device. He decided to begin to toss Great Balls at it. The first two failed, the wild Snorlax breaking out without the Ball rocking once. The third however...
1 shake, 2 shakes, 3 shakes...CLICK! Snorlax was caught. The Ball disappeared and Ruben's Pokedex emitted its statement,
"Snorlax's data was added to the Pokedex." Ruben's Pokedex stated as Ruben checked the data which flashed upon the screen.
"Snorlax, the Sleeping Pokemon.
It is not satisfied unless it eats 880 pounds of food every day. When it is done eating, it promptly goes to sleep."
"Let's see, a nickname for you would be Orangepeel."[/i] Ruben said, punching a combination into the Pokedex. He decided to head back to Lavender and then onto Celadon.
Ruben realized he had not gone into the grass on Route 7 and did so; he encountered a wild Oddish and sent out Starlight, his Clefairy. Two Secret Powers landed, and despite a Poison Powder from the wild Oddish, Ruben decided to toss a Poke Ball at it.
1 shake, 2 shakes, 3 shakes...CLICK! Oddish was caught. The Poke Ball vanished.
"Oddish's data was added to the Pokedex." the Pokedex stated as the data flashed on screen.
"Oddish, the Weed Pokemon.
It's scientific name is "Oddium Wanderus." At night, it is said to walk nearly 1,000 feet on its two roots."
"A good nickname for you is Radish." Ruben stated, punching a combination into the Pokedex. He darted back to Celadon to heal. Route 16, to the immediate west of Celadon had another grass patch Ruben did not check. In this patch of grass he encountered a wild Doduo. Doduo is a peculiar bird creature. It is a brown-furred creature with two heads and no wings; yet can Fly and is classified as a Flying-type. Starlight was sent out. The two traded blows before Ruben tossed another Poke Ball.
1 shake, 2 shakes, 3 shakes...CLICK! Doduo was caught. The Poke Ball vanished.
"Doduo's data was added to the Pokedex." the Pokedex stated. Ruben grabbed his Pokedex and checked the data which flashed on screen.
"Doduo, the Twin Bird Pokemon.
A two-headed POKéMON that was discovered as a sudden mutation. It runs at a pace of over 60 miles per hour."
"Well...how about Deltadodo?" Ruben said out loud to himself, "That can work." He then punched in a combination into his Pokedex. However, instead of backtracking to the Snorlax, he decided to head west again, through a secret passage. He found a house where a young woman was staying with her Fearow.
"Oh, I had no idea you came to see me." she said, "I bought this house for the sole purpose of quiet and security."
"Please take this, and please don't tell anyone you saw me." the woman handed Ruben a sky-blue colored disc.
"That is HM02, Fly." she stated, "If you have the Gym Badge from Vermilion, you can use that move to Fly to any city you've previously been to." Ruben wasted no time teaching Fly to Pi Fighter.
Ruben then decided to put Evan back in front and decided to battle the wild Snorlax, again having to wake it up via the Poke Flute. The wild Snorlax attacked in a grumpy rage, much like the other Snorlax Ruben battled.
The battle went much like the first one. Evan dealt a lot of damage; Snorlax did the same to Evan. Snorlax used Rest and got a free full heal. Evan however, was not going to go quietly into the night. He was going to take out the wild Snorlax. And when he did, he gave a roar of triumph and expelled a stream of blistering hot fire. The Snorlax disappeared, saying that the Snorlax got tired and went back into the mountains. Ruben paid it no mind, and went back to the Pokemon Center to heal. The both ways to Fuchsia are clear as he checked his Map; his next choice was to decide which path to take to reach it.
