23 Route 3

I talked with Brock as we make our way through Route 3.

"You told me that you wanted to be the best world pokemon breeder, but how do you plan to do that?"

Being a pokemon breeder covers too many things, you will never going to be the best in everything. It's just like train pokemon, they cant be strong in every aspect but if you focus two or three aspects you can be really powerful.

Brock's put his hand on his chin and his expression turned into a thoughtful one.

"That...i don't really have given any thought to it. With all my responsibilities I never thought that I was to be able to fulfill my dream."

I just shrug, is not like I was expecting something different. He was really busy, its impressive that his dream is still alive. In my past life, I knew many people that forgot their dreams once they got a job and responsibilities.

"Well, you are not the only one. Misty, has the dream of becoming the stronger water-type pokemon trainer. But she has no idea how to do it."

"Hey, that's rude. It's not that I don't have a plan. I see the whole picture in my mind, I'm just having problems with the details."

' pii ii ii pikaaaa'

"It's not good to laugh at other people statement, Pikachu. No matter how ridiculous they are."

"Pikachu! I thought that we were friends..."

"He is being hostile with you because of what you did the last time."

'pika pika' He nods at me.

Brock break his train of thoughts and looked at us.

"Something happens between them?"

"It was with the best intentions. I was just trying to help Pikachu." She looked sad as her eyes downcast.

"She tried to persuade Pikachu to left along with her because she thought that my training was too rough for my pokemon."

Brock turned serious as he looked at Misty.

"What you did was something very bad, Misty. The link between a pokemon and his trainer is something sacred. I thought that you would understand that, as your situation and mine are similar."

So he knows that she is a gym leader. Well, I suppose that as the gyms are regulated by the league, the gym leaders should know about each other existence.

"That's enough Brock, I'm not angry at her. I know my pokemon and if any of them want to leave I will release them and wish for them to only encounter happiness and joy in their lives. We trust each other, that's why I can be strict at training and they will not complain about it. Otherwise, we could not fight as one."

"I also know that! It was something stupid to do, and I'm really sorry about that."

I looked at Pikachu and ask him.

"She treated you very well when she took care of you on Pewter gym. Isn't that right?"

'pika?'

"What do you say Pikachu? will you forgive her?"

'pikachu'

I patted him while smiling, that's for the best.

Brock also smiled.

"That was very mature, Red. I knew that come with you was the right choice."

Misty looked shy as she thanks me in a low voice.

We walked for a while, the landscape on Route 3 is really nice. There is a large plain that could take days to cross. In the distance, it can be seen the mountains and the imposing Mt.Moon covering the horizon. The breeze that comes down from the mountains is enjoyable now because we just have been walking under the sun, but in the night it will be a problem.

"Brock, how much time do you think we have before the temperature goes down?"

"There should be at least 3 hours, it will be wise to find a place to camp before that. We are also going to need some time to set the tent I brought."

I took 2 of my pokeball and let my pokemon out.

"Pidgey, Butterfree. Can you help me to find a place protected from the wind?"

'prrrrrrr' 'freeee freeeeee'

They hurried and flew forward. We keep talking as we walk slowly, it should not take too much time before Pidgey and Butterfree found the right place.

"You have a Butterfree and a Pidgey, I have not seen them before. They look well trained and healthy."

"Red also has a Charmander, his color is unusual."

"Yeah, Karna coloration is uncommon between his kind. That cause that the others Charmander reject him frequently. But he has improved much since I me-."

'freeee freeeeeee'

hmmm? Did something happen?

I rushed toward Butterfree direction without wasting time, he is not far from here. The grass started to become taller, you can not set a camp in a place like this. What is Butterfree doing here? Well, I suppose we'll find it.

I expanded my aura and felt many signatures moving around Butterfree and other 2 that are with him.

"Prepare yourself Pikachu, Butterfree is fighting against many pokemon."

'Pika pi'

When I got close enough, I saw the problem. A flock of Spearow. I run and stood in front of Butterfree.

"I'm here Butterfree, stay behind me. Pikachu, use your Thunder Shock."

'Chuuuuuuuu'

It looks that Butterfree endured too much, I'm proud of him.

Now...let's see what we have here.

My eyes flared in red as I use my aura to activate my skill and check the Spearow.

It didn't take me too much to find what I was looking for, the flock leader. The one with sniper ability and adamant nature, I know that he will evolve into a Fearow on his own later but he has run out of luck today.

"Pikachu, use Spark against the Spearow that looks angrier than the rest."

'Pika pika'

Pikachu tackled Spearow so strong than send it rolling on the ground unconscious.

I threw the pokeball and catch him easily after that.

"Pikachu, use Thunder Shock again and scare the flock. Without their leader, they will run away."

'pika chuuuuuu'

The Spearow flock hurried to leave as fast as they could.

"Red! Are you all right? You started to run out of nowhere."

Misty came first and was followed by Brock that was out of breath.

"N-next time l-let me know before you start t-to run"

"Sorry about that, a flock of Spearow attacked Butterfree and I rush to help him. It's a luck that they had not hurt him."

What happened for him to be around here? I walked toward Butterfree, i know that he was with other two pokemon. Where did they go?

I expanded my aura to search for them.

They were hiding on a nearby bush, I walked toward them. It was a male Nidoran that was unconscious and a female Nidoran looking at me cautiously. Both of them are full of scratches, it seems that they were fighting against the Spearow before Butterfree came to help them.

I pull a potion out from my bag and approached to the pair of Nidoran. I stood just in front of them.

"This could help you, but he will need more than a potion."

'ni ni ni ni' She started to look anxious.

"Calm down, I can help him but I don't know if he would like my help."

'ni ni?'

She is clueless, I take two pokeball from my belt and put one it in front of the male Nidoran.

The female one got scared.

"If he gets into this pokeball, he will be transported to another place where someone could heal him."

I put the other in front of her

"You could go with him and stay together."

'NI!' The male Nidoran waked up and push away the pokeball. He is really weak, is barely awake.

'ni' The female one approached to help him to get up but the male one doesn't have any strength left. In the end, she decided to get into the pokeball, she is a smart girl.

"She already left, what will you do?"

His glare turned dark as he looked at me for a moment, after that he touch the pokeball and got caught. A few seconds later he also was transported to Pallet Town.

A Male one with a rash nature and a really calm Female one.

They will grow stronger, especially she.
