Chapter 1 - Errands To Cherrygrove
"Chikorita!" cried Crystal.
"Cyndaquil!" shouted Gold.
Both Gold and Crystal had chosen their Pokemon and were ready to battle. Cyndaquil had the type advantage but as seen on Gold's TV, the Pokemon with the best variety of attacks usually won.
"Cyndaquil, use Smokescreen," said Gold.
A cloud of black smoke filled the labaratory and Crystal gasped. They suddenly both had remembered that they were still in Professor Elm's lab and not on the streets of New Bark Town. As quick as a flash, a jolt of red and black shot through the window. Gold thought he saw a young boy with long hair. Quicker than ever, the thief snatched the remaining PokeBall containing Totodile and jumped back out of the window.
Gold blinked. No, it wasn't anybody. Was he just seeing things?
"Chikorita, use Magical Leaf!" shouted Crystal as Gold lost his concentration.
Gold turned round and saw Chikorita release a floating leaf and entangle onto Cyndaquil. Cyndaquil was trapped! Immobilised by the powerful attack, Cyndaquil dropped down, knocked out. Gold sighed. He wasn't that good after all.
Gold finally reached Cherrygrove Town. Cherrygrove Town was a town not much bigger than New Bark but was big enough to hold a PokeMart and Pokemon Centre. Gold knew better than taking a rest here, even to heal his Pokemon. He was running an errand.
"Come on Gold," he urged himself.
"Well, well, what is your name again?" asked the old man, studying and gazing at Gold for the 4th time.
"Uh, Gold," replied Gold.
"Ahh... nice to meet you, Gold," said the old man back.
The old man wore a lab coat and had glasses. He also had grey hair.
"I'm Professor Oak of the Kanto region," he said. "Pleased to meet you."
Gold stuttered. His hero! The great Professor Oak. The one he always wanted to meet.
"Well, I've got an appointment with Mary at Goldenrod City," said Oak. "Take this PokeDex and 5 PokeBalls. That should help, right?"
Then the renowned professor walked out of the door and revealed behind him, the owner of the house who was sitting on a chair - Mr. Pokemon.
"Whoops! I'm sorry but you came here for nothing. You were running an errand for Elm right?" he asked.
Gold nodded.
"Then Crystal reached here before you and took it."
Gold's eyes opened wide with terror.
"Don't worry, I think it was a mysterious Pokemon from Johto. The daycare people - Crystal's parents - said that it was born from a Togetic that strangely, came from Kanto rather than here."
Gold nodded again, then repeatedly and then left the room. Mr. Pokemon bowed and uttered something under his breath.
What did he mutter? thought Gold.
"Gold," said Elm breathlessly through the PokeGear. "Crystal and me saw this person in black and red. A smokescreen. He stole Totodile."
Gold gasped. New Bark Town was supposed to be safe.
"He's approaching Cherrygrove at any moment now," added Crystal.
Gold was right. He had a vision earlier. Gold ran off towards New Bark Town.
