Journey Towards Greatness Novel

Chapter 5 - Team Rocket


Morning near the river bed inside the camp Julian is sleeping peacefully but he wakes up because something is pecking his face as he slowly opens his eyes he sees Pidgey on top of his chest looking at him with curiosity and a little awareness, seeing this Julian stood up and pated Pidgey’shead

Julian “looks like you feel all better now” ​​

Pidgey “peeee” nods his head happily

Julian walks out of the tent and releases his pokemons out, Magikarp directly jumps into the river whereas Chimchar and Bulbasaur greets Pidgey

Julian “Ok Bulbasaur before we head start our journey lets train a new move today and Chimchar you just do some close combat training and meditate afterward”

He looks at Pidgey “you just sit and watch us train then after we continue our journey I will take you to the Pokemon center”

Pidgey “peeee” nods his head

Julian “Ok Bulbasaur come with me”

Julian and Bulbasaur walks near a tree

Julian “Today you are going to learn a new move called Energy ball”

Bulbasaur “bulba?” he looks confused

Julian “Try imagining you are collecting energy from your surrounding on your back and then channeling that energy in front of you to make a ball out of it”

After hearing Julian’s explanation Bulbasaur understands it and start to collect energy from his surroundings as he does energy accumulates in his back and making his bud glow green and then he starts channel it to form a ball as he tries hard it forms a small green ball then suddenly disappears, seeing it was a very good start Julian is very happy

Julian “You are doing great Bulbasaur if you keep this up you will learn this move in no time”

Being praised by Julian Bulbasaur becomes determined and starts practicing again. Julian walks back near the tent and watches his pokemons training and start to think his battle plan with Brock

‘Geodude is no problem as I am training Bulbasaur to fight with him but the main problem will be Onix, I don’t have a suitable pokemon to face it, Chimchar still cannot fight it as his close combat is still weak and will do less damage and fire based attacks won’t work, as for Magicarp even if it evolves into Gyarados it cannot battle in that rocky terrain with no water, guess I have to catch a new pokemon or I have to continue fighting using Bulbasaur’

As Julian was thinking about his strategy in a distance a Meowth shaped balloon was coming closer towards them and in this balloon, there were 3 figures, one pokemon two humans and yes they where team rocket and they were in a pretty beat up shape

James “Hu, I am so tired and hungry we haven’t eaten anything for three days”

Jessie “Shut up you idiot don’t talk about food you will make me even more hungry”

Meowth “you guys at least had food three days ago and even ate my share, I have not eaten for whole five days, what am I doing with you idiots instead of being in boss’s lap”

All three sigh together being dead then suddenly they here banging noise, James get up and looks at the source of the sound with his binoculars and sees Chimchar and Bulbasaur training

James “hey look at that pokemon I have never seen it before.” he says by pointing his finger at Chimchar

Jessie “hey Meowth what pokemon is that?

Meowth “how would I know”

James “let me check” he takes out a pokemon book about pokemons in Kanto region “hmm it not a pokemon of the Kanto region I cannot find it in the book”

Jessie “We should catch it send it to the boss and look at that Bulbasaur isn’t it huge? it must be very strong we should catch it make it a part of our team”

James “Yes with that powerful Bulbasaur on our side we will be able to dominate and steal many pokemons and then we will get promoted and become rich hehehe”

Meowth “And finally I will be able to become bosses favorite and throw away that nasty Persian, hahaha”

Unknown to Julian who was thinking about his coming gym battle, suddenly two huge mechanical hands launch at Chimchar and Bulbasaur as both of them have great reflex they easily dodge the hands and take stans to fight Julian also gets alerted and looks what happened and he sees a giant Meowth balloon floating in front of them seeing the balloon Julian starts to get a headache

‘not these clowns’

Julian “what the heck are you doing idiots”

Jessie “what did you call us? did you call us idiots?”

Julian “Of course I called you idiots as only idiots will attack pokemons with giant mechanical hands”

Hearing being insulted like this Jessie is really angered

Meowth “Jessie calm down look he even got a gold Magikarp”

Jessie “Che, who cares about that useless pokemon” then she points her finger towards Julian “who do you think you are calling me an idiot I will make you pay”

Magikarp who got insulted by Jessie became angry and launched a tackle attack on Jessie, seeing that the Magikarp was attacking her

Jessie “useless thing get away from me, Ekans slap that thing away from me,” she says and calls out Ekans, Ekans then slaps Magicarp back to the river with its tail, this time Magicarp is really infuriated and suddenly he starts to glow.

Julian “Looks like these idiots helped Magikarp evolve haha”

Meowth “Jessie I think this time you have overdone yourself”

Jessie “What are you babbling about?”

James “look your self what you have done”

Seeing her friends scared shitlessly she looks at the direction they are pointing and when she sees it she turns pale as a ghost as a huge red Gyarados which is way bigger than normal staring at them very angrily.

Julian “Haha looks like I have to thank you for helping my Magikarp evolve into Gyarados so take this gift from me, Gyarados us hydro pump”

Gyarados “Rawwwaaaaarrrrrrr” with that a huge Jet of water is shot at the balloon and blasts it away

While blasting of

James “why does this always happen with us?” (crying face)

Jessie “That Gyarados is scary” (still scared and white as a ghost)

Meowth “we didn’t even get a chance to introduce our self”

All three of them “we are blasting of againnnnnn”

And they disappear into the sky, back to Julian as he admires his Gyarados who is in front of him floating very proudly

Julian “Buddy you have turned into a magnificent Gyarados, right guys?”

He asks his other pokemons and all of them nods their heads and are very happy for Gyarados

Julian “Ok guys lets pack up and continue our journey or we will be late, Gyarados, Bulbasaur return”

He takes out their Pokeballs and sends them back in it, then he turns towards Pidgey
