"Wake up Michael !" your mother calls out to you, "You
don't want to be late!"
"Wha... ... Om'gosh, today's the day I get a Pokémon from
Professor Oak!" you exclaim, getting dressed as quickly as
possible.
"Not if you're late," you mother tells you.
"Bye Mom!" you call out as you run out the door.
"Bye Michael !" your mother calls back.
You arrive at Professor Oak's laboratory. You enter it quietly.
"Ah, Michael ! I've been waiting for you!" Professor Oak
says.
"Hi, Professor..." you pant, trying to catch your breath
from the long run from your house to the lab, "Do you...do you
have a Pokémon for me?"
"Yes, in fact, I saved a Raichu for you."
"A...a Raichu ? Yes! That's what I've always wanted!"
"However, this Raichu only knows Eval Beval ."
"That's okay, Professor," you say, taking the Poké Ball
from Professor Oak's hand, and releasing the Raichu from inside.
"Raichu !" the Raichu says, looking at you.
"Hey, Raichu , I'm your new master!"
"Raichu !"
Later, you and Raichu , who is in its Poké Ball, meet up with
another Pokémon Trainer, a Junior Trainer who is ready to show off his
Pokémon.
"Hey, aren't you Michael ? I heard that you were the last one
to get a Pokémon from Professor Oak! That shows that you are lazy,
and probably aren't alert enough to handle a Pokémon in a Pokémon
battle!"
"Oh yeah?!" you say, "Just watch! Raichu , appear
before me!"
"Raichu !" your Raichu cries out, ready to battle.
"A Raichu ? You started out with a Raichu ? Yeah, well, I can
beat ANY Pokémon with my Eevee!"
"You've got an Eevee?" you ask, "Well, my Raichu can
beat your Eevee ANY day of the week!"
"Let's battle, then; Eevee, go!"
"Eevee!" the Eevee cries out, ready to battle.
"Eevee, Tackle it!"
Eevee tackles Raichu .
"Raichu , hit it with Eval Beval !"
"Raichu !" Raichu uses Eval Beval against Eevee.
"Eevee, rebut with a Quick Attack!"
Eevee runs real fast, and rams its head into Raichu ,
knocking Raichu back a little.
"Hang in there, Raichu ! Use Eval Beval again!"
Raichu uses Eval Beval against Eevee, but Eevee stays standing.
"Eevee, Take Down, now!"
"Raichu , counter with Eval Beval !"
As Eevee runs toward Raichu , Raichu uses Eval Beval , knocking
Eevee backwards, and into its masters arms.
"Eevee, are you OK? Hrmph! So, Michael , you think you're so
good! Why don't you use any other attacks? If my Eevee had used Take
Down from the start, your Raichu wouldn't be standing here right now,
you'd have it halfway to the nearest PokéCenter!"
"Raichu ..." Raichu pants, tired from the battle.
"Hello, Michael , it's good to see you again," Nurse Joy
says.
"Hi, Joy. This time around, I've brought a Pokémon with me;
please heal my Raichu ."
"Right away, Michael . Chansey, sector 1, unit 4--Chansey,
sector 1, unit 4..."
A Chansey wheels a small cart out. On it is a tray with six spaces
for Poké Balls.
"Just put your Poké Ball with the injured Pokémon inside of it
on the tray, and Chansey will have it healed in no time!"
You place your Poké Ball onto the tray. The Chansey flips a switch,
and you hear a light humming noise. The Chansey flips the switch back
to its original position. It hands the Poké Ball to you, and you
accept it.
"There you go, Michael , good as new," Nurse Joy says,
cheerfully.
Michael and the Raichu
