Red's Journal. 9/23

I woke up in a great mood today. As I left Pallet town, some random guy came up and gave me a potion and said to visit the PokeMart in Viridian, so when I got up there I decided to stock up for my journey. But the cashier had some package for the Professor, so I got to play delivery boy. To my surprise, when I got back to the lab, the Professor had a present for me, it was some little laptop called a Pokedex. (And I made him give me some Poke Balls…the cheap skate.) Gary told me not to ask his sister for a town map…So I got a map from Daisy. I left Pallet town, possibly for the last time and caught myself a Ratata, an adorable little thing, I named her Fang. After going back to Viridian, I decided to go train my Pokémon, and wouldn’t you know it? A Mankey came out of nowhere and attacked me! I couldn’t let the chance go, so I caught her and named her Zerk. I thought I saw Gary running around after I caught Zerk, but I dismissed it and went back to training. I cant say I was surprised that Gary wanted to battle the second he saw me, but that doesn’t make it any better. I had to hold back a lot so that my Pokémon wouldn’t kill any of his, but I have a feeling he wouldn’t do the same for me.
