Three days have passed since the previous chapter so it's time for the next one, here we go.

As always, the Pokemon and Human characters are as follows:

Ben:
The Main Character, a Pokemon Trainer traveling across Iowa in his quest to become a Pokemon Master.

Taiora:
Ben's Starter Pokemon, a Pikachu that he met in a cornfield.

Wormy:
The first Pokemon Ben ever captured, a Caterpie with a dream of being a Rock Star and an appetite for Corn chips.  

Shayla:
Ben's Rival and long time one sided love.



Last time, Ben set off on his Pokemon Journey across Iowa at the same time as his Rival, alongside his Starter Pokemon Pikachu, who he nicknamed “Taiora”.  The two of them leave Waukee and come across two Wild Pokemon which they fail to capture. Afterward they take a rest at Wind Field Park and meet Shayla once again, who is revealed to have captured a Nidoran, the same one that Ben and Taiora attempted to capture beforehand.

Despite being outnumbered in the battle Taiora barely manages to defeat both of Shayla's Pokemon, nonetheless Ben calls the fight off. Following this, the two come across a Caterpie as the Worm Pokemon emerges from a candy machine. Attempting to capture it, Caterpie promises to go with them in return for more food.

After a brief conversation Caterpie reveals its own dream of being a Rock Star. And so, the Bug Type joins Ben's team and is given the nickname “Wormy”. With that, our hero's Journey continues forth.


Title: THE CURRENT OF DESTINY!


Having captured his first Pokemon, Ben alongside Taiora have continued their walk to Clive, there awaits their first Gym Battle and therefor the first step to the Pokemon League.  


Taiora: How much longer until we get there? I'm getting hungry.

Ben: Dude, I gave you two sandwiches AND a box of fries before we left Wind Field Park.

Taiora: Which was ninety minutes ago, where are we anyway?

Ben: Let's see, we're about half an hour away from a place called “Clive Lake”. Never heard of it.

Taiora: Well even so I guess we can stop there.

Ben: Yeah, I guess it's about time for breakfast.

Taiora: How much food can you carry in that backpack of yours?

Ben: I meant where there's a lake there are most likely trees, and where there are trees there are fruit and leaves, something I'm sure you and Wormy will enjoy.

Taiora: I'll say it again, Wormy seems more interested in junk food than vegetation.

Ben: Fair enough. I'm sure there's a vending machine nearby, otherwise we'll have to wait until we reach the Aquatic Center.

Taiora: The what?

Ben: Clive Aquatic Center, it's a Water Park my mother used to take me and my sisters to during the summer time.

Taiora: Unless they have a Lazy River I'll pass.

Ben: Actually they do.

Taiora: Really? Alright, I'm in.

Ben: But only if we capture another Pokemon before we get there.

Taiora: Fine, fair enough.

Ben: But until we reach Clive Lake let's see if we can spot any Pokemon before hand.

Taiora: I suppose that's also alright. But our experience with them before was....

Ben: I don't care, the key is to keep trying until we're successful.

Taiora: Whatever man.

Ben: The other thing is that I want you to get stronger before we reach the First Gym.

Taiora: And why's that?

Ben: Because the Pokemon of a Gym Leader are usually stronger than you are at present. Huh....

Taiora: What?

Ben: We're not alone.

(A Spearow appears before them)

Taiora: A bird?

Ben(Reading the Pokedex): It's called a Spearow, one of two “Tiny Bird Pokemon” this one is apparently the more aggressive of the two.

Taiora: I see. Wanna try to capture this one?

Ben: Hang on.

Spearow:.....

Ben: Hey, which way to Clive Lake?

(Spearow unfolds its right wing)

Ben: Thanks.

(They continue walking)

Spearow: Human and Pikachu.

Ben/Taiora: Huh?

Spearow: Beware on your Journey, if you don't come at everything with all you've got, you'll LOSE all you've got in the end.

Taiora:....What does THAT mean?

Ben: I already know that, thank you.

Spearow: Good luck.

(Ben and Taiora leave)

Taiora: That was weird, but helpful I guess.

Ben: The Lake is just up ahead, let's go.

(They eventually reach the Lake, noticing the houses around it)

Taiora: I suppose a lot of people live around here.

Ben: Who wouldn't wanna live around a lake?

Taiora: Me.

Ben: Whatever, come on.

(He pulls out a fishing rod)

Taiora: Where'd you get that?

Ben: I got this Black Friday shopping, so come on.

Taiora: You've only got one rod, what am I suppose to do?

Ben: Here's ten dollars, if you can find a store or something get breakfast, if not just pick it from somewhere.

Taiora: Right, and you'll be okay here?

Ben: Yeah, but if something attacks you come straight back.

Taiora: Understood.

(Taiora leaves and Ben casts his line in)

Ben: I wonder, what YOU'RE doing right now.

(He looks up at the sky)

Ben: Shayla.

Ben thinking: Recently I've begun to think you're hiding something again, but. I don't want to believe that.

(He closes his eyes)

Ben: I just wish everything could be clear between us finally. That's because-

(His line receives a bite)

Ben: That was fast, alright he we go.

(He pulls a Poliwag out of the lake)

Ben(Checking the Pokedex): You're a Poliwag right? The Tadpole Pokemon, I guess you're a Water Type.

Poliwag: Please....Don't eat me.

Ben: Oh no, I'm not going to do THAT.

(He throws a Pokeball at Poliwag which is repelled with its tail)

Poliwag: I'm not letting you do THAT either.

Ben: Alright then, I guess we'll be doing this the hard way, Wormy, let's go!

(He unleashes Wormy)

Wormy: Rock and Roll time!!

Poliwag: Huh?

Ben: Ready Wormy?

Wormy: Yeah!

(Poliwag falls to the ground laughing)

Ben: What's so funny?

Poliwag: Are you making fun of me or something? Even a Tadpole Pokemon like me could easily defeat a weak little bug.

Wormy: Who's making fun of who wise guy?

Ben: String Shot.

(Wormy sticks Poliwag's feet to the ground with silk)

Poliwag: Damn you.

Ben: Now ram it!

(Wormy uses Tackle which Poliwag counters with Bubble)

Ben: Don't give up, Tackle again.

(Wormy uses Tackle again, this time breaking through Poliwag's Bubble, but is blocked by its tail)

Poliwag: Is that all you've got?

Wormy: Speak for yourself.

(It uses Hypnosis on Wormy)

Ben: Close your eyes quickly!

(Wormy closes his eyes and falls asleep)

Poliwag: Case in point, bye now.

(He tares himself from the String Shot and runs back toward the lake)

Taiora: Not on your life!

(He appears and Thunder Shocks Poliwag)  

Ben: Great timing Taiora, Pokeball Go!

(He throws the Pokeball at Poliwag, catching it)

Ben: Thanks buddy, now we've got a Poliwag.

(He picks up the Pokeball)

Taiora: But the bad news is I couldn't find any breakfast, and what about Wormy?

(They notice Wormy is still sleeping)

Taiora: I'll get this.

(He wakes Wormy up)

Wormy: What happened?  

Taiora: Poliwag put you to sleep. And I helped Benayla capture it.

Wormy: Damn it, I lost.

Taiora: Well don't sweat it, that was your first battle.

Wormy: I guess so, but still. Poliwag called Bug Pokemon weak and I lost to him.

Taiora: That's a stereotype anyway. Bug Type attacks are the only thing that's Super Effective against Psychic Pokemon, the Type that's said to be invincible. I bet once you learn more Moves of your Type you'll show your worth.

Ben: Yeah, let me check the Pokedex and see.....

Taiora: What?

Ben: The only attacks a Caterpie can learn are the ones Wormy already knows. Tackle and String Shot.

Wormy: I AM weak, well, I am a worm after all.

(He returns himself to his Pokeball)

Taiora: Damn, now I feel bad for stepping in like that.

Ben: It's okay. In any case, we got a Pokemon so let's continue our Journey.

Taiora: I take it we're headed for Clive now?

Ben: We need breakfast first, and also.

Taiora: What?

Ben: We need practice, there are other Trainers around here, not like the ones who are aiming for the League, just hobbyists, maybe if we can battle someone like that.

Taiora: You wanna make Wormy feel better?

Ben: Yeah. And stronger. It's not like he'll be as weak as he feels forever.

Taiora: Huh?

Ben: Anyway, let's go.

(They leave)

Taiora: So we're back on the road again, where are we finding the Trainers you mentioned?

Ben: They probably live at home, the way I heard it some Bug Catchers hang out at Parks.

Taiora: And?

Ben: We follow the current of Clive Lake, according to the map some neighborhoods are nearby here.

Taiora: I see.

Ben: But first let's get something to eat.

Taiora: Yeah.

(After stopping for their last sandwich break Ben and Taiora come across a place called “Woodland Parkway”)

Ben: Well, this is the first place we found.

Taiora: Very well.....(deep breath)WE'RE HERE TO CHALLENGE ANY POKEMON TRAINERS IN THE AREA, ANYONE WHO HAS THE BALLS COME FORTH AND BATTLE US!

Ben: TAIORA!

Taiora: What?....Isn't that how a challenge is supposed to be issued?

Ben: You're a piece of work, really.

(A small child appears before them)

Kid: I got up early every morning to raise my Pokemon from Cocoons.

(He unleashes a Beedrill)

Ben: Damn, that would the first Dual Type we've seen so far.

Taiora: Huh?

Ben: Beedrill is a Bug and Poison Type.

Taiora: I see.

Ben: You take this one.

Taiora: Right.

(The Mouse Pokemon steps forth)

Kid: Beedrill, Twin Needle.

Ben: Evade it.

(Taiora dodges both stingers narrowly)

Kid: Pin Missile.

(It hits Taiora five times)

Ben: Thunder Shock.

(He Thunder Shocks Beedrill)

Beedrill:....Not good enough.

(It uses Focus Energy)

Ben: One more time.

Kid: Bide.

(Taiora uses Thunder Shock again, Paralyzing Beedrill)

Kid: Damn it, come back.

(He recalls Beedrill)

Kid: That's fine, HEY GUYS, WE GOT A TRAINER OVER HERE!

(Four more children appear)

One of them: Battle all four of us in a one on one battle, if you're victorious you can fight our leader.

Ben: Alright then. Taiora, come back.

(Taiora returns to his side)

Bug Catcher: I'm up first, go!

(He unleashes a Weedle)

Taiora: What's that?

Ben: Beedrill's first form. Weedle, The Hairy Bug Pokemon. It too is a Bug and Poison Type, only like Wormy it only knows two Attacks, Poison Sting and String Shot.

Bug Catcher: What are you some kind of Pokemon expert?

Ben: Wormy, let's go!

(He unleashes Wormy)

Wormy: Huh?

Ben: Let's go Wormy. Kick that bug's ass!

Taiora: Yeah.

Wormy: But I'm weak.

Ben: No you're not, the fact that you'll win will prove it.

Weedle: Are you stupid? I'm the one with the Type Advantage here.

Bug Catcher: Poison Sting it.

(It hits Wormy with its stinger)

Ben: Wormy get up, slow it down.

Wormy: Got it!

(He uses String Shot which Weedle counters with its String Shot, sticking its silk to Wormy's and pulling Wormy towards it)

Taiora: Oh no.

Bug Catcher: Sting right through it.

Ben: Tackle.

(Wormy uses the speed it gains being pulled toward Weedle and Tackles it)

Bug Catcher: What just happened?

Weedle(Gets up): You planned that didn't you?

Ben: As a back up plan, hey Wormy.

Wormy: What?

Ben: Don't ever call yourself weak again! Now kick that horn worm's ass!

Wormy: Okay.

Bug Catcher: Don't let your guard down again Weedle.

Weedle: I know.

Ben: String Shot.

Bug Catcher: Poison Sting.  

(Wormy uses String Shot on its stinger)

Weedle: Huh?

Ben: Now finish it with Tackle!

(Wormy defeats Weedle by ramming it again)

Bug Catcher:....I lost. Seriously?

Wormy: Did I just............I WON!!

(The Bug Catcher returns his Weedle to its Pokeball and Ben does the same with Wormy)

Bug Catcher: Alright, who's next?

Another Kid: I'll go.

(He steps forth)

Youngster: Before we start let me tell you something about myself.

Ben: What?

Youngster: I like shorts because they're comfy and easy to wear.

Ben:..............

Taiora: Did he seriously just say that?

Ben: Harold, let's go!

(He unleashes his Poliwag)

Poliwag: Harold?

Ben: Yes, Harold, time for your first battle.

Harold: Fine.

Youngster: Go Rattata!

(He unleashes Rattata)

Ben: Bubble.

Youngster: Quick Attack.

(Rattata evades Bubble and rams Harold)

Ben: Bubble again.

(Harold once again uses Bubble which hits Rattata)

Ben: Now Double Slap.

(He hits Rattata with his tail)

Youngster: Hyper Fang.

(It bites Harold)

Ben: Hypnosis.

(Harold uses Hypnosis, which is evaded)

Youngster: Tackle it.

(It rams Harold again)

Ben: Bubble again.  

(Harold uses Bubble)

Youngster: Rattata, defeat it with Hyper Fang!

(Harold dodges the Hyper Fang and jumps above the Mouse Pokemon)

Rattata: Huh?

Ben: Finish it off!

(Harold defeats Rattata with Bubble Beam)

Ben: Yeah.

Youngster: Damn, now that was skill full, now who's up next?

Kid:....Uh, I surrender.

Other One: Yeah, me too.

Youngster: You guys suck, alright, you wait here while I get our leader.

(They leave)

Ben: Well then, good job.

(He unleashes Wormy)

Ben: All of you.

Wormy: But I hardly did anything.

Ben: That's not true, you defeated Weedle despite being at a disadvantage.

Wormy: Only because I did what you told me to.

Ben: Look, if you've got to do something you cant falter alright? Do you think your dream will come true if you just dwell on how weak you are?

Wormy: You're right.

Taiora: Hey, Wormy.

Wormy: What?

Taiora: I wanted to ask you, why is it that you wanna be a Rock Star anyway?

Wormy: Well, I ended up at a concert once. I saw everyone having a good time there and I just loved the music. I don't know, I wanna live in those moments too. Just like the band on stage did.

Ben: I see.

Harold: Anyway, is it okay if I take a rest?

Ben: Sure.

(He recalls Harold)

Ben: Wormy, together we'll obtain each of our goals, all of them.

Wormy: So what's yours? Besides being a Pokemon Master.

Ben: Well, that's a secret.

Taiora: Shayla I'm guessing.

Ben: Yeah.

(The leader of the block returns)

Kid: I'm a Cool Trainer in the making, and I hear you're good, so let's battle.

Ben: Sure.

(He recalls Wormy)

Cool Trainer: LET'S ROCK!

(He unleashes a Nidorino)

Nidorino: YEAH!!

Taiora: What the hell is that?

Ben: It's a Nidorino, Nidoran's evolved form.

Taiora: Evolved form?

Ben: Yeah, You're my strongest Pokemon so you're up now Taiora.

Taiora: Alright.

(He steps forth)

Cool Trainer: Ladies first.

Ben: Come again?

Cool Trainer: The first move is yours.

Ben: Thunder Shock.

(Taiora Thunder Shocks Nidorino)

Nidorino: Oh yeah?

(He Horn Attacks Taiora)

Ben: Stand your ground.

Cool Trainer: Fury Attack.

Ben: Double Team.

(Taiora evades with Double Team)

Cool Trainer: Fury Attack.

(He hits Taiora five times)

Ben: Quick Attack.

(Taiora Quick Attacks Nidorino)

Cool Trainer: Skull Bash.

(Nidorino rams Taiora)

Ben: Growl at it!

Cool Trainer: Horn Attack.

(He quickly Horn Attacks Taiora again)

Ben thinking: That's it.

Ben: TAIORA, THE HORN!

Taiora:....Yeah......

(Taiora uses Thunder Shock into Nidorino's horn. Defeating him)

Cool Trainer:....I lost.

Ben: That was close.

Taiora: Yeah.

(They leave)

Taiora: Hey Benayla.

Ben: What?

Taiora: What did you mean earlier when you said “Evolved Form”.

Ben: Pokemon are able to evolve into stronger forms, most doing so by gaining experience points from winning battles. But that's not the only way.

Taiora thinking: So if Beedrill evolved from Weedle. And Nidorino evolved from Nidoran.

Taiora: Wormy's going to become strong too, right?

Ben: Yeah, you all will, evolved forms or not we're going all the way.

Taiora: Yeah, onward to Clive.



And so, another day is completed for Ben and Taiora, as they conclude that their Journey will evolve into the adventure of their lives. To be continued in their very first Gym Battle.
