I need to go collect some badges." "Well, your loss." Savage replied. Savage walked off into the distance. Just then Storm overheard some conversation between 2 kids. "WOW!" said the first. "That Starmie you caught over there is so cool!" "I know." said the second. "I'm going to go try to enter Pokemon League with it!" "Hmmmm.....Starmie...." Storm thought. "Maybe I should see if there is one over there!" "Nido Nido!" "Nidoran......." "NIDO! Nido, Nide Nidoran!" "So thats it!" Rose whispered to herself. "The Nidoran mate in large groups, with the Males trying to woo the females with a song!" "Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeere Starmie!" Storm yelled. "HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERE Starmie!" "SHHHHHHHHH!" Rose whispered. "You're going to scare the Nidorans!" Just then a Male charged at Storm! "Go Psyduck! Confusion!" The Nidoran staggered around before falling down, fainted. "Alright!" yelled Storm. "Poke......" "Pokeball go!" Rose butted in. The male Nidoran was caught. "Oh well, what was I going to do with a Nidoran? I'm a Water and Flying trainer!" Storm said. "You're a Water/Flying trainer?" asked Rose. "Maybe we can team up! With that combo we'd be unstoppable!" Storm was puzzled. "I....I.....I can't, sorry. I need to travel to Pewter to collect a Boulder Badge." "With the route I'm taking back to Celadon you'll be able to collect Lt. Surge's Thunder Badge!" Rose said. "Back to Celadon?" Storm questioned. "Yes, I'm a trainer in Erika's Gym. She sent me here to study the mating of Nidorans." stated Rose. "Cool! I'd be glad to come!" said Storm enthusiastically. "Alright! OK, tomorrow at the crack of dawn we set off for Diglett's Cave. There we'll travel through Vermilion and Saffron. You can maybe pick up the two badges on the way!" said Rose. "OK!" said Storm. Storm began to set up his tent when he noticed a pokemon by the bayside. Rose's Pokedex spoke up. "Caterpie. This Bug pokemon climbs up trees with its suction-cupped feet. Eventually evolves into Butterfree, a Bug/Flying pokemon." stated the Pokedex. "I gotta catch it." said Storm. "Butterfree would be a great addition to my team." TBC..........
