Chapter 13 - Chapter 13: Arriving In Pewter City

(Somewhere on the path to Pewter City, there is a large hole and someone is digging it to make it bigger.)

(Suddenly, Team Rocket is saying their motto.)

Jessie: To protect the world from devastation.

James: To unite all peoples within our nation.

Jessie : To denounce the evils of truth and love.

James: To extend our reach to the stars above.

Jessie: Jessie.

James: James.

[Suddenly...]

(Meowth comes out of the hole and places the shovel through the dirt.)

(He angrily says.)

Meowth: "Meowth! I don't get why you two are always talking and I'm stuck doing all the work!"

Jessie: "We haven't got much time. If they're heading for Pewter City, they'll have to pass this way."

(Jessie says.)

James: "And they'll fall right into our trap."

(James says.)

[Soon...]

(all three begin to dig a large pit hole.)

(Meowth says.)

Meowth: "Come on! Dig it deeper, and we'll cover it up so well, they'll never guess it's a trap. Ha! Perfect!"

(Soon, they put wooden bars on it.)

(Then, they cover it with leaves and dirt.)

(Now the hole is gone completely.)

(Suddenly, James panics.)

James: "I can't even tell where the trap is!"

(The move to one spot, and Jessie asks.)

Jessie: "Wasn't it here?"

James: "Is this it?"

(James questions, as they move to another.)

(They move again, and Jessie asks.)

Jessie: "Where did it go?"

Meowth: "It's over there!"

(Meowth adds, and they all move to the middle of the road.)

(Soon, the three try to remember where the trap they set is located.)

(Suddenly, they move down and look down to notice that the trap is right under their feet.)

(The fake dirt, leaves, and wooden cage gives out, and they fall right in, and are being buried in dirt.)

[Meanwhile...]

(Mew and her friends continue their journey and are finally out of the Viridian Forest.)

(The group continue to walk on the stone path until they see a city over the horizon.)

Misty: "Yay! Pewter City"

(Misty said.)

(Mew sighs in relief.)

Mew: "Phew. For a while there I thought was going to be in this forest for the rest of my life!

Pikachu: "Chu." (Me too.)

(Pikachu says.)

Eevee: "Eev," (Yeah.)

(Eevee replies.)

(Suddenly a man says.)

A man: "Pewter City is grey, the color of stone. This town has always been famous for stone."

Mew: "Huh?"

(Mew says, looking down.)

(The four look down to see a man with tan skin, brown beard and his hair hidden in a red hat.)

(He also wears a beige shirt, white gloves, dark green pants, and black shoes.)

(Mew turns to Misty.)

Mew: "Who is he?"

Misty: "Never met him,"

(Misty answers.)

(The man says.)

Flint: "The name's Flint, and some of you are sitting on some of my merchandise."

(Realizing he means the rock.)

(Mew quickly gets up, and says.)

Mew: "Oh! Sorry."

(She then notices that the rocks here have some price labels on it, one of the things she has learned while living among humans.)

(Then Mew asks.)

Mew: "You mean you sell rocks?"

Flint: "Pewter City souvenirs. Wanna buy some?"

(Flint says.)

Mew: "No thank you. I'm traveling, trying to become a Pokemon trainer. But first, we're going to the Pokemon Center."

(Mew replies.)

Flint: "A good choice, your Pokemon may be worn out. Why don't you follow me? I'll show you to the Pokemon Center."

(Flint says.)

Mew: "Thank you,"

(Mew says.)

(Flint then walks away.)

(Mew turns to Misty.)

Mew: "See? Looks can be deceiving. He's a really nice guy."

Misty: "Are you sure?"

(Misty asks.)

(Suddenly, Flint walks back and says.)

Flint: "By the way, that'll be a two dollar charge for resting on my rocks."

(The girls and two Pokemon fall over disbelief.)

[Sometime later...]

(Mew, Misty, and the Pokemon arrive at the Pokemon Center.)

(Mew has all her Pokemon on the tray while Eevee and Pikachu stand on the counter with the Egg.)

Mew: "Please, revitalize my Pokemon."

(Mew says.)

Nurse Joy: "Sure, right away, Mew."

(Nurse Joy says.)

(Confused, Mew asks.)

Mew: "Huh? Nurse Joy?"

Nurse Joy: "Yes, I'm Nurse Joy,"

(Nurse Joy says.)

Mew: "But this isn't Viridian City, this is Pewter City."

(Mew replies.)

(Nurse Joy says.)

Nurse Joy: "The Joy in Viridian City is my little sister. I'm the older Joy. I've heard nice things about you. Very nice."

Mew: "Uh, thank you."

(Mew replies.)

(Nurse Joy takes the Pokemon, Pokeballs, and Egg as she asks.)

Nurse Joy: "Did you see that poster?"

(Mew turns their heads to see the poster on the wall.)

(It has a hand holding a Pokeball being surrounded by symbols representing a Pokemon Type.)

(The sign reads, 'Pokemon League Regional Championships Enter the Competition!')

Mew: "The Pokemon Regional Championship. Wow!"

(Mew says, interested.)

Misty: "It's amazing. However, to compete in the Regional Championship, you need to beat gym trainers from different towns and get their badges as proof."

(Misty says.)

Mew: "Badges? If I remember what Professor Oak told me, badges are like proof that you defeated a Gym Leader, right?"

(Mew asks.)

Misty: "That's right. Gym Leaders Pokemon are actually stronger than other trainers Pokemon, and each gym has a specific type of Pokemon they battle."

(Misty says.)

(Mew smiles.)

Mew: "You know a lot."

Misty: "Oh, I don't know about."

(Misty says, blushing.)

Mew: "Well, I'm actually planning on competing in the gym battles too. I wonder if there's a gym here."

(Mew says.)

(Suddenly, they hear laughter and turn to see Flint.)

(Flint walks up to them and says.)

Flint: "Don't tell me you two plan on challenging Brock, the Pewter City gym leader."

Mew: "Of course we do! As soon as Pikachu and the other Pokemon are all better, we'll have no problem."

(Mew says.)

(Flint laughs and says.)

Flint: "You will beat him?"

(Then walks away and is still laughing.)

(Mew puffs her cheeks, irritated.)

Mew: "Meanie."

[Later on...]

(Mew and Misty decide to get something to eat.)

(At the same time, Mew also decides to look up the gym with her guide book.)

(Of course Misty is helping her with some advice, since it's the first time she's going to be battling a gym leader.)

Mew: "Thanks for helping me, Misty."

(Mew says.)

Misty: "It's no trouble, but you have to remember. Gym leaders are different from your everyday Pokemon trainer, they're much much tougher."

(Misty says.)

(Mew nods her head.)

Mew: "Right."

(She then reads the guidebook and says.)

Mew: "Hmm, according to the book, the Pewter City Gym Leader specializes in Rock Type Pokemon."

Misty: "It's probably good to use Water Type Pokemon for this battle. You have a Shellder and a Poliwag so they'll have the advantage."

(Misty says.)

Mew: "Yeah. But I'm still a little nervous. I have never battled with a Gym Leader before. I'm not sure if I can win or not,"

(Mew says.)

Misty: "Well, you never know until we get to that gym and battle Brock."

(Misty says.)

(Mew says.)

Mew: "You're right. I should be worried if I do well or not. I should go over there and find out."

(Misty smiles in reply.)
