Upon exiting the center, Hirru's stomach started to growl. He realized that he had not eaten anything since he got to Pallet Town. The pokemon food that his mother gave him wasn't tasty at all and he didn't have any other human food. Looking into his wallet, Hirru noticed that he had a few credits left. Heading towards the nearest restaurant, he found that they wouldn't feed pokemon. Hunger still hung over him as he searched the city for a restaurant until heard something.
"Come here for all your hungry pokemon needs! We feed you and your pokemon!"Hirru turned to find that the voice belonged to a man in a pokemon costume. Behind the man was a train car that was refabricated into a diner. With his mouth already watering, he walked into the diner and saw a woman with white clothing on behind the bar.
"Welcome to RockeDine! What can I get you sweety!"Hirru sat down at a stool with Chi and Caterpie being put onto the countertop as he took a menu. Upon choosing what he wanted and telling the woman, she immediately starts on the dish. Waiting for a few minutes, Hirru watched as the man in the costume came back inside and went behind the bar and into another room. Then another person came in, a younger boy with a yellow pokemon with him. He sat down next to Hirru when his pokemon had jumped on the counter with Chi and started talking to it.
"Seems like your pokemon is rather friendly"
"Yeah he does like to make new friends"The woman finally brought Hirru his food not even noticing the other boy until he took a bite out of his dish. It tasted a little weird but he didn't mind. The woman looked in shock of the guy next to Hirru, but when she looked at his pokemon, she got a renewed look of sinister deeds to come.
"By the way, my name is... Hirru Ruikuni"Hirru shook his head for a second. He thought he was seeing doubles of the male next to him. And inside his body, he felt rather beat and wanted a rest.
"Nice to meet you! I'm....."Before the boy could finish, however, Hirru's head fell foward hitting the plate who watched as everything went blurry as he fell asleep. The boy was alarmed by the sudden fatigue.
"What happened? What was in that food!?"
"Ha Ha Ha"The woman only laughed as she pressed a button that made the front of the diner open up which then launched the boy and Hirru from their seats while claw-like metal arms grabbed their pokemon from the counter. Hirru, being still asleep, hit the ground hard but still incapacitated. Recovering from the throw, the boy was now trying to beat in the door.
"Hey! Give him back!!"The diner car lowered itself and raised again to reveal treads underneatht the diner. It then started moving which brought up dust as it drove away. The boy then hurried over to Hirru and started shaking him to wake him up.
"Come on! They took our pokemon!"This didn't wake Hirru up, however, as the boy watched as the diner turned out of sight. At that moment, Officer Jenny raced her way towards them on her motorcycle with a sidecar attached and braked hard to investigate.
"I heard a disturbance! What happened!?"
"Some people stole our pokemon and put him to sleep! They went that way!"
"Come on then! Lets get him in!"The boy and Jenny took Hirru and placed him in the sidecar while they got on the motorcycle before speeding off in the direction that the diner went. It wasn't hard to notice that the treads made a pattern of cracks in the road which lead straight towards it. Once they got to the diner, Jenny tried to pull forward to block the diner, but robotic arms came out and threw bombs at them. To make sure that they didn't lose the perps, Jenny turned quickly to evade one of the bombs. This action also smashed Hirru's head against the sidecar, waking him up. He was instantly surprised at the fact that he was in a vehicle traveling at high speed along side the robodiner he thought was a diner with an officer and the boy from earlier.
"Get along side the treads! Go, Infernape!"The boy sent out a light that turned into a monkey-like pokemon with flames on its head. Instinct told Hirru to scan the new pokemon.
Infernape
The Flame Pokemon
It uses unique fighting moves with fire on its hands and feet. It will take on any opponent.
Hirru was astonished by how great this fire pokemon. Jenny had moved closer towards the side of the diner car.
"Use Mach Punch!"Infernape made a fist that started to glow light blue. It then bounded over the bike and threw its fist at the treads which shattered on impact. The resulting immovable side caused the diner to screech to a halt. Jenny braked and they all got out to confront the pokenappers. The woman and man from before were now on top of the diner wearing white uniforms with a red 'R' on them. With them was a cat-like pokemon, a blue blob pokemon, and baby pokemon that looked like it had a hat on.
"Who are these guys!?"
"If you're asking about us, then prepare for trouble!"
"We'll tell you all, on the double!"
"To protect the world from devastation!"
"To unite all people within our nation!"
"To denounce the evils of truth and love!"
"To extend our reach to the stars above!"
"Jessie!"
"James!"
"Team Rocket, blast off at the speed of light!"
"Surrender now or prepare to fight!"
"Meowth! That's right!"
"Wobbu!"
"Mime, mime, mime!Hirru only scratched his head with a confused look but the boy was alert.
"So these guys are performers or something?.. And did that pokemon talk!?"
"No! They're Team Rocket! They stole our pokemon!"Hirru finally realized that he didn't have Chi or Caterpie with him. He then searched his bag to find that the egg was still there. Pokedex was next on his list to scan the pokemon.
Meowth
The Scratch Cat Pokemon
It loves anything that shines. It especially adores coins that it picks up and secretly hoards.
Wobbuffet
The Patient Pokemon
Wobbuffet does nothing but endure attacks - it won't attack on its own.
Mime Jr.
The Mime Pokémon.
It can quickly imitate anyone it sees. It can sense people's emotions as well, and when it senses danger it will erect a barrier, so it can escape.
"Give me back my pokemon!!""Why don't you come up here and get them then!?"The meowth pulled out cages with Chi and Caterpie in them as well as the boy's pokemon in a special glass holder. Hirru was instantly enraged and ran at the trio. This, however, turned out to be vein as a robotic arm threw Hirru back causing his egg to fall out of his bag.
"No! Vee!!"
"Well what do you know.. the kid was holding out on us"
"Another prize for us to steal"The robotic arm extended to grab the egg but Hirru was already there to grab it at the same time as it did. Hirru struggled to take the egg from the grabber arm but couldn't as the arm started to raise with Hirru still latched onto his egg.
"I'm not going to let you take Vee!"
"Infernape! Help him!"Infernape did as told and rushed over and performed another Mach Punch which destroyed part of the arm but not the part that still held the egg. Hirru and the arm fell to the ground as he held it close still trying to pull the egg from the arms vicegrip. His determination got bolder with each tug.
"I won't... I won't.... I won't let them take you!!"Hirru pulled with all his might. At that time, the egg started to pulsate.
"VEEEEEEEEE!!"With that the egg flashed as it gave way causing Hirru to fall backwards with the now glowing egg. Hirru was in awe as he watched the egg glow with a bright light eminating from within. He could only watch as the egg he once knew formed into a little Eevee with a tuft of fur colored differently on its head.
"Ve...Vee!?"
"Eevee!"The little pokemon pounced Hirru believing it to be its father. Hirru scanned the little pokemon accidentally.
Eevee
The Evolution Pokemon
It has the ability to alter the composition of its body to suit its surrounding environment.
This was a happy moment for the both of them. That is until they heard a cough.
"Not to burst your happy moment but...""Now there is a rare pokemon we want!"Hirru knew who they were talking about and his playful nature went to a serious one. Vee sensed this and it bristled up. They both faced Team Rocket looking rather mad.
"I've grown up in an Eevee ranch. Other than my own pokemon, I know that this particular eevee has a move passed on from its father"
"It doesn't matter! That baby won't even lay a scratch on us"
"Grab it!"Another arm came out of the rocketdiner which came after Hirru and Vee. They only stood their ground as Hirru watched as Vee sensed the danger coming. A ball of purple energy formed in front Vee which it then fired at the arm causing it to be redirected. Infernape used yet another Mach Punch on the arm destroying it.
"I knew you would know it Vee!"
"What was that!"
"Shadow Ball!"Another ball of purple energy was created and shot at Team Rocket. They quickly scattered as the attack hit the edge causing a small explosion which flung the sealed pokemon into the sky.
"Infernape!"The monkey pokemon knew what to do as it jumped in the air to catch them all before they hit the ground. As it landed, Hirru ran over to get Chi and Caterpie out to be reunited. The boy was reunited as well with his pokemon. Everyone looked at the wreckage and saw that Team Rocket had gotten back on the diner car. Oil was leaking from the diner, however, which gave them an idea.
"Chi! Ember!"
"Infernape! Flare Blitz!"
"How about a little Helping Hand as well Vee!"Vee started running a figure eight around Chi and Infernape. This caused a blue-ish lightning to come forth from Vee's fur. It then bounded in between the two which made the lightning shoot at the two fire pokemon powering them up. Infernape then charged forward while being surrounded by white blue flames. Chi shot out several large fire balls which combined with Infernapes flames making them blue. The attack connected with the diner car causing it to fully explode. Team Rocket was blast into the air.
"Who knew that the twerp needed help from another twerp"
"Just shut up so we can blast off"
"Oh well"
"Looks like Team Rocket is blasting off again!"
"Woooobbuuuu!"
"Miiiiiiime!"They flew into the distance until they were nothing but a twinkle. Hirru was relieved that everything was now over. Officer Jenny roped off the area around the wreckage while Hirru and the boy went to the pokemon center to get their pokemon healed and for a bite to eat since Hirru only ate drugged food. When their pokemon were finally healed completely, Hirru and the boy went outside.
"Thank you for saving Chi and Caterpie!"
"No I have to thank you and your Eevee for saving my pal here"Hirru looked down at the little yellow pokemon and pulled out his pokedex.
Pikachu
The Mouse Pokemon
It stores electricity in the electric sacs on its cheeks. When it releases pent-up energy in a burst, the electric power is equal to a lightning bolt.
Pikachu jumped up on the boy's shoulder rubbing up against him. Hirru could tell that these two have been through everything together.
"Where are you heading to?"
"Pewter City! I've got a badge waiting for me there!"
"Good luck then! Brock isn't an easy opponent especially with a fire type"
"Alright thanks. Where are you going?"
"Pallet Town. To see Prof. Oak"They both smiled and turned in opposite direction when Hirru remembered something and turned around.
"That reminds me.. I didn't get your name"The boy scratched his head under his hat.
"Yeah you were knocked out when I said it"The boy held out his hand. Hirru took it and shaked it.
"Name's Ash Ketchum"Hirru nodded towards Ash who nodded back with a smile. Pikachu and Eevee, whom was on Hirru's shoulder with Chi, cried out to each other possibly saying goodbye. They then went their seperate ways. Ash going south to Pallet and Hirru going north to Pewter.
"Well Vee.. You're apart of the team now"Hirru pulled out an empty pokeball which Vee pawwed at. This made the ball open capturing the little brown pokemon inside. A few twitches came and went as the button turned white again. Vee then popped back out of the pokeball. Hirru watched as it jumped back on the shoulder it was on and nuzzle Hirru's head.
"Lets go! Pewter City, here we come!"
