4 4. First Pokemon

Dean searched the team rocket grunts bodies while kneeling but from afar, it appeared as if he was groping the unconscious bodies and could be easily mistaken for a pervert.

He searched thoroughly and found 2000 pokemon dollars or pokedollars, 2 normal pokeballs and few questionable photographs in fatty's hidden pockets which made him think

Dean: 'Why did I even bother searching these guys, obviously they are some low-level grunts who attempted to rob the kid hoping for some decent cash, I didn't get anything useful other than this small money and these pokeballs' he stood up looking at the fatty as he tore those pictures, stored the money in a pocket and kept the pokeballs on the belt that he stole from the scarface as it had Pokeball holders.

Dean thought aloud: " Since I'm in good mood right now, I don't want to torture these guys so taking away their clothes and leaving them naked in the middle of the forest will be a good punishment" he proceeds to strips them down leaving only the underwear, he looked at the wet pissed and smelly underwear of fatty

Dean: ' I'm not even surprised by his choice after I saw those photos. I better get going before I change my mind about torturing these guys especially that fatty' he hid the clothes in a nearby tree.

He left the grunts and walked slowly thinking about the green aura that came continuously from growlithe 'I don't recall seeing any greenish aura coming from growlithe or any pokemon in the show, how come I didn't see any aura coming from the caterpie earlier. Either this world isn't as simple as it seems or there might be something going on with me either way, this calls for close observation with other pokemon' he is more interested in interacting with pokemon than finding out about the aura as he still hasn't interacted with any pokemon after waking up.

Dean started to search for pokemon and found few caterpie, weedle and kakunas. He watched them carefully so as not to disturb their natural habitat and found two interesting things about the aura. The colour of the aura from these Pokemon seems to be on the lighter side of green compared to the earlier fire type and he has to concentrate hard to see the aura emitted by pokemon.

' Why its different shade, is it because of the type? It cant be, from my observation both caterpie and pidgey both had a similar shade of green aura, one bug type another is flying type so maybe its related to their current abilities.' he looked around and saw caterpie slowly crawling on a tree to his right, he gently picked the caterpie and brought it to his eye level to look closely.

<Pi pie>

Caterpie was startled by the sudden contact, it started to squirm in his hands giving out the cry. It wanted to tackle the human but couldn't get out his grasp so it started shooting string shots aiming his head

< pie pi pi>

He tilted his head to dodge the shots, even though caterpie was close to his head he could still evade which highlights his amazing reflexes, he just let go of caterpie as he just picked it out of curiosity and didn't want to stress the little guy too much, caterpie ran away without looking back. He felt the dodged string shots attached to the tree with his hand ' Smooth, silky and somewhat durable' he smiled looking at the running caterpie ' You could have made big bucks in the textile industry with all these silky strings back in my world' Caterpie which was moving away from dean suddenly felt a chill down its spine and shivered, it looked around and crazily crawled to get away from that place.

He continued to walk in the direction where officer jenny ran while looking at the sky hoping to see few pidgeys or fearows. He was fascinated by this forest which housed different types of pokemon but also disappointed as he knew he won't be able to see any rare pokemon here at this part of the forest. Kanto may not have too many rare pokemon but it certainly has a lot of other varieties. It is also one of the biggest regions in the pokemon world and along with it came the rich history. Other than the time he stopped to watch the confrontation between caterpie and weedle for berries, he never stopped until he saw a spot with skid marks of a bike. He knew that the tire tracks were from the officer's bike and if he follows, it will lead to the city so before he got ready to dash forward in that direction but he heard

*THUD* *THUD*

The sound itself was somewhat loud as it seems to come from somewhere nearby, he stepped in that direction carefully as it might be pokemon fighting or from some pokemon that came from the deep forest, since he had little information about the viridian forest, I should tread my steps carefully.

Dean: 'I hope there aren't too many unfavourable changes in this world, otherwise my knowledge might become useless. I should first collect information regarding this world'

He walked for some time and found a small cave in a hill. he checked his surroundings and stealthily moved towards the entrance and peeked inside. he caught a glimpse of small blue bipedal Pokemon having three small protrusions on its head and a small tail, its back was facing the entrance even then he could tell which pokemon it is

'Machop!!, It's a bit strange to be in this part of the forest' he thought

Machop was facing the medium-sized rock which it had moved from outside, it looked at the rock and started to hit it in a chopping motion. Dean watched the chopping of machop and was bit disappointed as it didn't have any technique or power behind the motions. He watched this for almost an hour and couldn't take it anymore

Dean: " Stop"

<Machop? > <Machop!!>

Machop turned to look at the source and was startled to find a human at the entrance of its cave. Dean watched machop going from normal to startled and to a defensive position, Dean was surprised that he wasn't attacked immediately, he smiled at the little fighting pokemon

Dean: " Sorry for disturbing your training session but I couldn't bear watching your sloppy chops anymore," he said bluntly, he was immediately met with a glare but he smiled at the expected reaction.

" I know how this looks like, believe me, I would also be angry if someone says something negative about my efforts" Machop simply looks at him, he could tell it was a bit curious to see where he was going with his talk, his smile grew a bit wider

"The way you are training your chops it is useless as it has no power or technique behind the chops"

Machop this time became angrier as it did few chops on the rock, pieces of the rock chipped away, it looked at him with the little smug expression proud of its strength. Dean simply watched at the machop's demonstration of power, he slowly walked towards machop with the serious expression and stood in front of it. Machop was cornered as it doesn't have anywhere else to go since the cave was small. He could tell machop was prepared to attack him at any moment.

Dean: "Just watch" he started to demonstrate the chopping motion in front of machop. He spread his legs a bit, he extended the arm upwards slightly bending his elbow outwards, making the straight palm with fingers connected closely except the thumb which curled tightly and pressed against the forefinger, his palm aligning with the forearm and it was brought down with force while the side of the knuckle of small finger facing downwards inclined at an angle like a movement of a blade, he also did vertical, horizontal and inclined chops.

"That is called a chop"

"Wush" "Wush"

His arms were like blades started cutting the air going up and down, making sounds like blade swings. Machop was awed by the speed and the power produced by the chops, its expression turned from awe to being stupified as it watched his next set of actions.

Dean: " Now for the second part" he moved few steps back to get more room. he took a deep breath and started doing chops alternating with right and left hands, he takes one leg forward swings his hips and demonstrates the chop in full swing. Like that he did chops with his left and right hands one after another, he increased the speed of the chops, this time each chop cuts air and force behind each chop was felt by machop who was few steps away as it felt little wind hitting its face. Machop leaned against the wall of the cave to not get hit by Dean, at some point it just saw only after images of the hands. It started looking at dean wide-eyed but there was also something visible in those red-eyes, Dean slowly stopped seeing machop's reaction. he lightly huffed 'Hah I need to train my body more, if it was in his peak he could have continued for a longer period without losing breath'. he observed machop, he knew he got a little carried away but that wasn't his intention.

Dean: " How was it?".Machop started looking at the man with admiration in its eyes, he saw this and asked seriously

Dean: " Do you want to learn it?" Admiring machop was stunned by the sudden question, it came out of its stupor after a few seconds and nodded excitedly.

Dean: "I only teach these kinds of things to my pokemon" machop looked visibly deflated but again stunned by his next question

Dean: "Do you want to become my first pokemon?" machop slowly looked at the man who had a slight smile on his face contemplated for a long time. Dean knew that machop was considering his offer, he wanted to strike the iron while it's still hot so he continued

" By the way, what I showed you is just the tip of the iceberg" this again shocked machop, after few seconds Machop with the determined look nodded its head.

<Machop> <Machop> It was happy with his decision and decided to trust the human, it was also excited to train and learn new fighting techniques.

He asked machop to be his pokemon because as it seemed to be a young pokemon filled with energy but more importantly from earlier observation, he could see with every chop on the rock, it was improving its technique little by little. There was this one time where his palm flickered with bright light. he knew machop would master karate chop soon. He was surprised by this and knew how talented this pokemon is, that moment he decided to get this pokemon so he jumped and demonstrated the technique impressing the little one and finally asked the bait question.

Dean: 'Thank god machop took the bait' he inwardly sighed'

He looked at the young happy Machop.

Dean: " What I showed is just a little demonstration without the target. If I had a target then numerous factors had to be considered" Machop listened and nodded like a good student, Dean seeing this couldn't help but think 'What a good pokemon' he then looked at his pokemon to see what coloured aura he has.
