Chapter 3: Startng of a Journey

Bugsy had waited many a day for this moment, his pokemon egg was beginning to hatch! Suddenly the egg glowed a briilliant white and the shell dissolved, revealing a shimmering golden brown, silvery white, and lght turquoise pokemon called Eevee. Bugsy knew he got really lucky with this egg because eevees' are normally a chestnut brown and creamy white as opposed to the latter. Quickly captureing the Eevee with the waiting premier ball, he then called it
forth again so that it could check things out. The little eevee went b-line for the berrycase, opened it with its nose, and selected a soft pecha berry with which it started to munch contentedly on. Gathering his materials to bring a start to his pokemon journey took him most of the day,
owing to the fact that it required a trip to the pokemart so that he could stock on requirements like potions, pokeballs, and antidotes. Also because it required spending a large amount of time outdoors to find some of the rarer berries such as Watmel and Stara. By the time he got home it was well past nightfall so he decided that he would go to Professor Aspens the next day to recieve his basic starter.

Bugsy woke early the next morning to find his Eevee curled up in a ball next to him, blinking sleepily in the early morning light. After donning a pair of blue jeans, his traveling backpack, and a tye-dyed t-shirt, he grabbed what was to be his last really good breakfast in awhile, he fed his Eevee (whom he now called Everet) some pokefood and the two departed for Professor Aspens lab.

Choosing a mildly quirky Cyndaquil as his starter, Bugsy and his Eevee walked into the woods of his home near Maple Grove. After some hours of walking steadily westward, the pair saw many pokemon and defeated a few of the overly agressive ones. There was 1 pokemon though who they never saw but had decided that it rather liked this unlikely pair and thus followed behind as an uncaptured gaurdian
pokemon, much to the benifit of all in later times. Bugsy would not see this pokemon for many days, but he would most certainly notice how healthy it kept his crew of pokemon.

After many hours of trekking, Bugsy came across one of the groves' rarest species of pokemon, an Absol! Bugsy immediatly called forth Eevee, who by this time was quite a bit better then she had started. The battle raged for over an hour with neither side backing down. Blow after blow was rained down upon Bugsys' little Eevee which stood up wth a remarkable resiliancy (of course this was because of
the gaurdian following them around). Eevee was slowly draining the Absols' HP with a series of tackles and quick attacks all while sendng as much sand flying as possible to stop it from getting hurt as much, not to much avail because of the number of times Absol used its' Faint Attack which of course, never missed. Finally, with a mighty leap into the air, Eevee ended the match with a stunning blow
to the side after useng an inherited Iron Tail attack. Quickly Bugsy grabbed a pokeball, and threw it with all his might at the heavily weakened Absol in a bid to capture such a worthy opponent. In a flash of blue light, Absol disappeared inside the ball. After several tense secnds the ball chimed a small chime signaling that Bugsy had gained a new companion.

Suddenly Bugsy got a very strange feeling coming from his newly captured pokemon. "Would you please let me out you bloody numbskull? I feel cramped, hungry and rather irritated at being cooped up in here." Bugsy looked around with a rather baffled expresson wondering where the voice came from. "In your hand doofus."said an exasperated voice in Bugsys' head. "My pokeball?" Bugsy asked aloud. "No, the pokemon inside your pokeball. I'm talking to you idjit!" Now knowing to whom and where the voice was coming from, Bugsy released Absol from his pokeball. "About time you figured it out kid." it thought testily. "Your telepathic?" Bugsy inquired"Course I am what with that blooming pokerus virus that was insde that pokeball you captured me with, which I thank you for by the way. It will allow me and everyone else in your party to grow devastatingly strong." "Pokerus?" Bugsy asked. "Pokerus is a virus that pokemon contract when caught with infected pokeballs. It only takes one to
render all your pokemon telepathic and gives them the abilty to grow amazngly strong and learn moves
it would never be able to learn normally. As far as talking back to us, just think in our general direction, it wll allow you to avoid looking stupid in public." "I see" Bugsy thought back. Suddenly a small voice chimed in coming from the drection of his Eevee. "Would you please feed me now? I'm hungry!"
