Chapter 2: Team rocket, is that a salad?

First person POV

I was excited, very excited. I was finally ten years old. Old enough to party, well not really, but old enough to start my Pokémon journey.

I'd been waiting for this day for ages. The day that I would finally start the quest that I came into this world for. Yeah, I knew already, I'd been getting dreams since I was four. It was cool; I'd even met my parents, Hestia and Poseidon, quite a few times.

We always met in my dreams, they told me of everything that had happened, even when my dad confronted the camp about what happened to me. I wasn't happy about that particular memory but I had put it behind me. Besides, I was quite amused by what dad said to the camp and their response.

Flashback

"Hey, mom! Hi, dad!" I exclaimed. It had been a while since I'd seen them, at least a month. Normally, we'd meet every week or alternate weeks.

My mom grabbed me in a tight hug and didn't let go until dad coughed. He then pulled me in for a hug after mom let go.

"Why weren't you able to visit earlier?"

"We're sorry, sweetie. Your father just needed to cool down."

"Why? What happened?"

My mom giggled when dad stiffened.

"Well, you see-" she was cut off by dad putting his hand over her mouth.

I pouted, "Oh come on, dad. Please tell me. Please, please, please." I stopped talking and held my breath, with my cheeks puffed up.

"Alright, alright. I'll tell you what happened."

"Yay!" I pumped my hand.

My mom lifted me up and placed me in her lap after summoning two chairs to sit on. My dad sat in the other chair and started, "well, I finally decided to confront camp about what they did to you."

I made a face and was frowning; I'd just seen what they had done and let's just say that that was a very bad experience. I was mad but couldn't bring myself to hate any of them because technically this was a new life and I didn't know them.

"I hope you didn't do anything too bad."

He opened and closed his mouth like a fish, "Well, it'll be better if I show you." He placed his hands on my temple and suddenly, I was whisked away.

Looking at my surrounding, I found that I was at camp, in the pavilion, where the campers were having breakfast by the look of the position of the sun.

Suddenly, there was a flash leaving the campers stunned because a god rarely showed up at camp, so they were extremely excited. But that quickly changed to confusion and worry when they saw that it was Poseidon, the father of the person that they banished.

"Well, this will be amusing." Stated Dionysus while Chiron was worried out of his mind.

"Why?" Poseidon asked in a deathly, calm voice.

Everyone was too scared to answer, not even aware enough to get off their seats and bow.

"I said why!" Roared Poseidon, "After everything he's done, you just kick him out? So I ask you why?"

A meek voice answered, "We're regretful, lord Poseidon. But we couldn't excuse-"

"Excuse? You couldn't excuse the fact that he was challenged to a fight and won? The fact that he was provoked and triggered causing him to lose control of himself, I get that he was in the wrong but so was the daughter of Ares. Why isn't she banished? Why only my son?"

The same voice, which Poseidon now identified as the daughter of Athena that broke his sons heart answered, "She's currently in the infirmary, Milord. She hasn't recovered from her coma."

Poseidon rubbed his head, "Someone else please answer me, I can't stand to hear the voice of the girl that broke my son's heart. It is after all your fault that he was in that position."

Annabeth looked affronted, at being insulted as well as being blamed for what Percy did. "I hardly think a little fight between us could've caused him to react like this."

Another flash and there stood Athena. Annabeth was happy, believing that her mother had come to assist her and defend her against Poseidon.

"I'm sorry, Annabeth but he speaks the truth. You truly are responsible, at least partly for Perseus' situation."

Annabeth was lost, "But how? What did I do?"

Athena said one word and flashed away, "Tartarus."

"Know this, if any of you go near any water bodies like a lake or river or the sea or anything like that, you won't like the outcome. None of you are welcome in the house of Poseidon. If you truly cared about my son and were his friends, you would've known that there was something wrong with him instead of always expecting him to be alright." A flash and he was gone as quick as he came.

Judging by Annabeth's paling face; she had understood what her mother and Poseidon were implying.

"What do they mean, Annabeth?" Asked Chiron.

But Annabeth was too stunned to reply, so Dionysus took it upon himself to reply. "What they mean, my dear old centaur, is what young Perseus went through in Tartarus."

The other campers were too confused to take notice of Mr. D calling a camper by their proper name.

"But Annabeth and Percy were together in Tartarus, were they not? So, what Percy went through, Annabeth would've gone through." Questioned a wary Malcolm.

"That's what we thought was the case, Mater. But, as we heard, that wasn't the full story. I will let Annie-bell continue with the story."

Malcolm scowled but quickly looked at his half-sister, "Annabeth?" While nudging her shoulder.

"We... We were both in Tartarus... But he didn't allow me to do much... He forced me to allow him to do most of the work. I... I was asleep most of the time. Other than some parts but I was mostly recovering my energy."

"He must've been insane." Said an irate camper. "How could we allow him into camp in the first place?"

"Perhaps we should kick you out of camp right now, huh?" Asked Dionysus

The camper looked at him in surprise, "But my godly parent-"

"Would agree with me. Perseus has been through a lot, a lot that he doesn't deserve and he was kicked out of this camp unfairly. Without my permission, may I add."

"But Percy always seemed fine, what could've happened?" Asked Annabeth, more to herself than anyone else.

"Yes, Annie-bell, he seemed fine but that didn't mean that he was. He hid it, never telling anyone because he didn't want to burden anyone."

"I should've spoken to him but I thought that if I made him talk about it, it would have made everything worse." Annabeth said sadly.

"That's possibly the worst thing that you can do." Dionysus said with a sigh. "That will allow all of his thoughts to muddle up and stew together, it'll make it harder for him to judge from right to wrong. It'll make it harder for him to control his sanity until he finally goes insane. No, the best thing that you could've done was to talk to him about it, let him show all of his emotions. But no one ever cared enough. Honestly, it's impressive that he was able to control himself this long and only lose control enough to maim the girl."

There was pin-drop silence after this. Everyone absorbing the words. Until Annabeth let out a sob even thought her hands were over her mouth. Malcolm tried comforting her but Dionysus continued, worsening the situation, "That's not the worst part."

Everyone was staring straight at him, wondering what else could've happened. "His eyes were open when the two traversed through the House of Night. His eyes were open to safely navigate the daughter of Athena through a place that can make an immortal insane."

There were gasps at this and Annabeth was full-on-crying.

"He did it for you and became insane, yet you threw him out."

Annabeth was frantic, "Where is he? Please you must tell me, I still love him." There was a bitter laugh and everyone turned towards the sacrificial pit and saw a girl about 8 years old. Suddenly, in her place there was a woman of about 30 and she stood up.

"You don't deserve to know that, and don't you dare say that you love him when you used him so."

Annabeth beyond all logic, replied, "And who are you to say that? I love him and he loves me."

"Then why isn't he here? He was cured by Dionysus and was given a choice to return but he chose not to."

That silenced everyone, "None of you have any rights to what he does or where he is. As for me, I'm Hestia and his mother."

"Mother? What about Sally?" Asked Annabeth.

"What a great girlfriend you are." Said Hestia sarcastically. "You didn't even know that his mother had passed. Killed by Gaia and her minions."

"I didn't know, he didn't tell me."

Hestia interrupted, "He didn't tell or you didn't ask?"

With a sneer she flashed away.

"Wow! Did not know that Aunt Hestia could be that cold. That was the most entertainment that I've had in years, makes it almost worth it to be assigned to this godforsaken camp."

"Mr. D, where is Percy? Please, where is he?"

"All you need to know is that he's safe."

"Please, Mr. D. Tell us, we need to apologize."

More people started shouting their agreement, arguing the need to see Percy again.

"If he wanted to return to this camp, trust me he would have. Perhaps you should honour his wish and allow him to do what he is doing."

The noise slowly died out until Jason asked, "May we know what he is doing?"

Dionysus sighed, "I suppose, otherwise you brats might not leave me alone. I'll have you know, young Perseus is on a quest for me. He is my champion and representative."

Now even more people were stunned.

"Wow, mom, dad, you gave them a piece of your minds. I didn't expect you to be able to be that cold, mom."

She pouted, "Well, they hurt my baby boy. No one ever messes with you and get away with it and no one ever will."

"Thanks, mom but I can take care of myself. I need to prove that to others and more importantly, myself."

"Right, Percy. Have you been training your Pokémon?" My dad asked, taking control of the situation.

"Yes, dad. Every single day."

"Good, show them that water Pokémon types are the best."

"As if, Poseidon, fire types are so much better, right Percy?" My mom argued.

I was stuck in a dilemma, personally I preferred normal types. After all, the first and strongest Pokémon was a normal type.

But at the moment, both of them were looking at me for an answer.

"Err, yes. Ummm I gotta go now. Early day tomorrow. Bye!"

With that I woke up.

Flashback end

(A/N now is when the Pokémon part truly starts.)

I lived with a professor by the name of Oak. He was a good person and took proper care of me. He had his own family including grandchildren but didn't stay with them. They lived in the same town, Pallet Town but not together. Professor Oak was my guardian and even taught me everything about Pokémon. He was a renowned man in the Pokémon world and was quite famous.

He was the one who started with helping me train my Totodile and was quite fascinated when he found out that I had him. He was a really good teacher and sometimes even allowed me to help him in his work which taught me a lot.

He was going to be starting of my Pokémon journey today and I was extremely excited. He said that he had a surprise for me and I couldn't wait for it.

I had just finished a training session with Totodile and was returning home. I knew that Professor Oak would be in his lab, so I went straight over there.

As I thought, Prof. Oak was working on his computer gizmo thing, honestly, even with Athena's blessing, I couldn't understand it. It was too complicated, though it didn't bother me, I understood what I needed to and he explained anything that I didn't.

"Ah yes, Percy! I have been waiting for your arrival from your training session." Exclaimed Oak. "You're finally ready to start your Pokémon journey but first, I have a gift for you."

I was excited. I wondered what it could be.

"First of all, I have a quest for you. This is a Pokedex." And he held up a device that I'd seen before. It looked a lot like a phone and was similarly rectangular. It was a red colour and had an orb at the top left that would light up when turned on. Although it seemed blank, I knew that it could be opened to show a screen and many buttons.

This device was used to record and store information about Pokémon. Professor Oak didn't know but this helped me more than it would him and for that I was grateful.

"I want you to fill this for me, find out about every Pokémon in the Kanto region. I know you can do it."

"Thank you, Professor."

"Yes, yes but this is not my gift, Percy."

I didn't realise but we had been walking through his lab and we were now at a large circular device that contained Pokémon and could transfer Pokémon.

He clicked a button and out popped a poke ball.

I gasped and saw that he was smiling. "I know that you have your Totodile but I wanted you to have this Pokémon. A parting gift, I've always given Pokémon to people who have wanted to become Pokémon trainers from this town and you are no different."

"Are you sure, Professor? You don't have to give me a Pokémon."

"Nonsense, Percy. You are like family and I would like you to have this Pokémon. It's a rare Pokémon and takes a skilled trainer to be able to train it. I've been saving it for a while and I believe I've found the right trainer in you." Said Prof. Oak proudly.

I took the poke ball and was about to open it when, "Crash!"

"What was that?" I shouted, alarmed.

"I don't know, let's check it out."

We rushed towards where the sound came from and were worried when it came from the area the Pokémon were kept.

Investigating, we found two grown men were grabbing the poke balls and were stuffing them into bags. They wore almost completely black outfits with random patches of white and a Giant, red 'R' on the front.

"Hey!" I screamed, "What do you think you're doing?"

They turned around, startled but when they saw it was me and Professor Oak, they laughed.

"We're Team Rocket and we are stealing your Pokémon."

"Wow, you don't say, I'm asking why you're stealing our Pokémon, you retard."

The guy spluttered, "We are Team Rocket."

"You already said that."

He was really angry now, "Now you've done it, kid. Are you a trainer because if you are I'm going to battle your Pokémon and steal it too. That'll teach you not to mess with team rocket."

"Alright, a Pokémon battle." And I removed my poke ball with Totodile.

"Wait! Percy, are you sure? You've never been in a Pokémon battle before."

"This seems like a good time as any. And besides, I can finally see if my training with Totodile has worked out."

With that he shouted, "Go, Totodile!"

A flash and he was stood there, on the ready.

The team rocket members were surprised, "Such a rare Pokémon, from another region." Then they smiled and one sent out Rattata.

"Let's do this!"

"Cool!" I said and pulled out my pokedex.

"Rattata, the mouse Pokémon!" I heard a robotic voice which continued, "Bites anything when it attacks. Small and very quick, it is a common sight in many places. A rattata is cautious in the extreme. Even while it is asleep, it constantly moves its ears and listens for danger."

I moved fast and first. "Totodile, quick, water gun!"

Totodile sent a quick burst of water which was dodged by the rattata after its masters command. "Rattata, tackle!" Shouted the team rocket member.

"Totodile, use water gun again. Straight at the Rattata."

He complied, as the rattata approached to tackle, he sent a water gun, blowing away the Rattata. It crashed into the side but the match wasn't over because it was getting up. "Totodile, use bite and finish this Match."

While the Rattata was struggling to get up, Totodile charged it to bite; suddenly he was pushed to the side by another Pokémon. Looking closely, I saw it was a Pidgey and I noticed that it was the other team rocket members Pokémon.

"Hey, you can't send another Pokémon in between a Pokémon match, that isn't fair."

"Too bad, kid. We are team rocket and we do what we want. Besides this isn't an official Pokémon battle, there aren't any set rules."

I opened my Pokedex on the pidgey and scanned it. "Pidgey, known as the tiny bird Pokémon, It rapidly flaps its wings in the grass, stirring up a dust cloud that drives insect prey out into the open. Pidgey has an extremely sharp sense of direction. It is capable of unerringly returning home to its nest, however far it may be removed from its familiar surroundings."

"Alright, Totodile, you got this. Don't let them scare you." Totodile nodded without looking at me, standing at the ready.

"Pidgey! Use gust!" Shouted the team rocket member.

"Totodile, water gun downwards to escape it and then another water gun straight at it."

As the blast of air came straight at Totodile, he let out a stream of water directly below him and he went into the air, narrowly dodging the gust attack and then sent another stream of water straight at the Pidgey, knocking it unconscious. But our victory was short-lived because Totodile was immediately hit with the hyper-fang attack from the Rattata which we forgot about.

"Totodile!" I screamed, as I saw him being tossed away and fainting.

"Hahhahaha! What are you gonna do now, kid? Just give up and give us your Pokémon."

I was considering using my powers but I was hoping not to reveal myself to anyone so soon into this world until Prof. Oak shouted, "Use the Pokémon I gave to you, Percy."

My eyes lit up, "Yes! Poke ball, go!"

And I tossed the red and white ball, a flash revealed a tiny brown Pokémon with a coat of cream coloured fur. I examined it with my Pokedex, "Eevee, known as the evolution Pokémon, Eevee has an unstable genetic makeup that suddenly mutates due to the environment in which it lives. Radiation from various stones causes this Pokémon to evolve."

"Wow! Thanks, Professor. Eevee, let's do this."

The Eevee looked at me for a minute before nodding its head determinedly. I was glad, that it accepted me as its trainer.

Then I remembered Totodile, "Totodile, return. You did well, Toto. I'm proud of you." A pause where I smiled at Totodiles ball for winning his first battle with me after which I returned to Eevee. "Alright, Eevee, let's show them what we're made of. Use agility."

Eevee started to move so fast, I couldn't even keep track of him much less Rattata. This was good, Eevee was much faster now. "Alright, Eevee, double to team to confuse Rattata."

If Rattata was lost before, it was definitely out of it after Eevee used double team. I could see it crumbling. I also realised that this trainer was terrible; he didn't know what to do.

"Tackle! Tackle! Do something!"

Confused, the Rattata started blindly attacking. It started tackling walls and random objects, hurting itself more than I did. It managed to get Eevee once but didn't really cause any damage because it was tired and weak. I felt bad for it. "Eevee, finish it with a tackle attack!"

One tackle and the Rattata keeled over.

"Huh?" The team rocket members gasped in disbelief while I decided that I had to pose to commemorate my first victory. Spinning around I quickly stood with my feet touching and my hand outstretched in the peace sign, "Yay!"

"We were defeated by a kid." One muttered in disbelief. The other continued, "This won't be the last you'll see of us, kid. We'll be back. You'll regret messing with Team Rocket!" With that they ran away. I could only smirk at them; they were so bad it was amusing.

"Well done, Percy. Not even started your journey yet and already winning battles. And I hope you liked the Eevee that I gave you?"

"Ya, it was amazing." I said while petting the Eevee who was visibly happy and content and I swear I could hear him purring. "Eevee, return."

"Well, professor, I'll be setting out on my journey now. Thanks for all the help you've given me and I'll be sure to call as well as drop in from time to time."

"Ok, Percy. I wish you good luck."

"Bye, Professor!" And I walked away to start my journey. Just as I reached the horizon, I turned back to see him waving at me and gave him a two finger salute, after which I disappeared from his sight.

Alright, this might seem strange but I'm thinking of allowing Percy to get Blackjack and Mrs O Leary in poke balls, as his Pokémon. To make the story more pjo-esque.

But otherwise, how was the rest of the chapter? His first Pokemon battle and no, he's not going to win them all. But he will be amazing. I don't know if this battle would be considered detailed but they definitely will be.
