My Pokemon Adventure by Melissa Nichols (speed reading book TXT) 📕

“Twenty-one! My God!”

“Yeah. It was mayhem every day. But it was good training for when I settle down.”

“Yes, I’ll bet it was.”

For the rest of the day, I looked at the scenery. Trees were everywhere and we were walking on a thin grass path that ran down a kind of aisle between the two sides of the forest.

After a while, Rita started whimpering. We stopped so I could see what she wanted.

“What is it, Rita?”

She nudged something into my hand and I took it from her mouth.

“Tod, what is this?”

“It’s an HM. She found an HM disc in the grass.”

“What’s an HM?”

“It’s similar to a TM, only it can be reused as many times as you like. This HM teaches Cut.”

“What’s Cut?”

“It’s a move that a Pokémon can use to cut down thin trees. Like that one over there.” He said, pointing to a tree just behind me. It was smaller and thinner than the others.

“But can’t Rita just use Razor Leaf or Magical Leaf to cut it down?”

“No, they aren’t strong enough. And only HM-taught moves can affect objects outside of a Pokémon battle.”

“But why?”

“Because Pokémon can handle only other Pokémon and water. Trees and rocks are too tough for their moves. The moves have evolved so they only affect other Pokémon.”

“Oh. Okay. So, who should I teach this to?”

“I would say Rita, because she has the leaf necessary and you won’t be sending her back to Father.”

“How do I do this?”

“Take the disc, put it in your PokéGear.” I got the PokéGear out and slid the disc into the appropriate slot, which Tod pointed out. Immediately, the PokéGear registered it and a laser appeared. I pointed it at Rita and the PokéGear beeped. Rita barked and the PokéGear said ‘Chikorita has learned Cut’.

“Oh. That was easy.”

“You should keep it. Who knows what could happen.”

I put it in an empty cube and marked the top ‘HMs’ before we pressed onward. All day long, I had Poochyena and Tailow battle. I restricted Poochyena to his special moves so Tailow could win every time and grow strong.

After a while, I let Tailow rest and had Poochyena battle Rita. This time, Poochyena could use all of his moves that were below three stars.

By the time we made camp, Tailow had become a level ten and was strong enough to take Poochyena’s attack moves. I let them attack each other as much as they liked, giving each Pokémon a Berry when the round was over as well as a Potion and an Elixir to heal their HP and Power Points.

In the meantime, I trained Rita and Ponyta for the next Gym challenge. I was sure it was a Water-type gym, but I need to have both at around the same level so one can jump in to win the battle if the other faints. Tailow and Poochyena could cover each other, too.

Just before I was to turn in for the night, Tod requested a battle. I couldn’t refuse. I healed up Poochyena and Tailow and soon the battle was underway.

Tod had been doing some serious training in the last few weeks and his Pokémon showed it. Pikachu was almost the downfall of Ponyta but I pulled out her strongest move to finish off his HP, then gave her a Potion before the beginning of the next round.

In the end, I won and I was starting to feel bad about it. Tod had been in training school since he was a baby and I had never lost to him. I was younger, less experienced and still a novice Trainer and still I won. Maybe I should fight but let him win. I can see that all of his losses to me were starting to affect his ego and confidence and I didn’t like it.

Text: I really dont know who this belongs to. The Pokemon phenomenon goes to Japan, I think, becuase their the ones who created it, and i came up with the plot and altercations so i have no idea who this goes to.
