Spike marched happily down the path to Viridian. He knew there was a
really powerful gym leader so he thought it best to go there later.
Arriving at Viridian Spike felt his stomach rumbling.
"All that walking sure has made me hungry," Spike said outloud.
"Kutter, Caterpie, I choose you," Spike said as he threw the pokéballs
into the air. The familiar shapes of Kutter and Caterpie formed from the
bright white light that came streaking out of the pokéballs.
"You two hungry?" Spike questioned.
"Bulba!," replied Kutter.
"vweeeeee," squealed Caterpie.
Spike handed some food to Kutter and Caterpie before going to get an ice
cream.
"Okay Guys, return," Spike said as the shapes deformed into red light and
zapped into the pokéball.
Feeling refreshed, Spike carried on walking. He walked through Viridian
and came to the Viridian Forest.
As the dark dense forestry swallowed him, he realised something was up. he
looked around. He couldn't put a finger on what was up though. He looked,
he listened. Nothing.
"There aren't any Pokémon here," Spike realised. He then heard voices
from his left, getting nearer.
"No, it can't be........ But he.............. How could............," he
spluttered to himself. He hid behind a small bush as the figues appeared out
of the mist and drew closer. Spike peered through the bush. He saw Team
Rocket uniforms. He was now scared as he could hear more approaching.
"The boss said to make sure all witnesses are to be taken care of," one
guy yelled. "Also search the bushes, we don't want to have missed anything,"
he continued. Upon hearing those words Spikes heart started beating wildly
like a drum. He started shaking when a hand was plunged onto his shoulder
and using a vice like grip whirled him round.
"Well, what do we have here then," a very tough looking female member of
Team Rocket said. All of a sudden Spike was out like a light.
