The Very Best: The Very Best Season 1 Episode 1: First Out Of The Forest

by Generation Sect

Generation Sect This is the start of my new series. You can send in characters to appear, and I plan to go through all the regions if I go that long.
Isaac Willo climbed up the tree, pulling himself up by some loose branches. His white hoodie got caught on some leaves on the way. "C'mon Bulbasaur, get back here! You're supposed to be taking the ground path!" He reached the top of the tree, seeing that his starter Pokemon had already jumped to the other tree. "You can't be leaving me now! I only got you like 10 minutes ago!" He gulped, as he looked down to the ground, preparing to jump. Surprisingly, he actually managed to land safely on the other tree. "Woah. Would you look at that. Ok Bulbasaur, where are you?" He looked around to see Bulbasaur jumping off the tree, and he instinctively jumped after it, only to realise there was nothing to land on.
"Aaaaagh!"
He screamed, only stopping when he realised that he had landed on some sort of web, made out of little strands of string, and he was right in the middle of it. Many Caterpie slid along the strings around him. "Oh. It's like a Caterpie Crossroads! This must have been built by all the string they laid as paths! That's actually sort of adorable. Now, where's Bulbasaur?"

He looked to his right to see Bulbasaur, trapped in a smaller crossroads, but he didn't seem too upset about his predicament. In fact, he had rolled over and gone to sleep. "Aww, he's like a little baby." He looked around attempting to find a way out. "I spy, with my little eye, a Metapod!" He grabbed the cocoon Pokemon with his free hand, the one that wasn't tangled up in the string. "Metapod use Harden!" The Metapod didn't want to comply. "It's the only thing you can do, you might as well." It signed, and used Harden, becoming shinier. Isaac used the Pokemon like a weapon, cutting free his other hand. This left him dangling by one arm, and he didn't want to fall. "Great." He passed the Metapod to his other hand, and launched it straight at Bulbasaur's web. "Catch!" The web shattered from the weight, and Bulbasaur fell to the ground, waking up, and trotting towards Isaac. "Good boy! Now, free me!" Bulbasaur continued past him, and climbed up another tree. It then used it's vines to grab a pile of berries from the trees, and hopped down. It sat with them, and started to eat them. "Wow. Only way this could get worse is if they were all Weedles." At that moment, a lone Weedle wandered across the string towards Isaac's arm, and started to look scared. Suddenly, it launched a Poison Sting attack right at him!

Isaac started to feel groggy, the poison numbing by the stinging pain in his arm. His sudden flinch from the attack had caused him to break the web, and had landed in Bulbasaur's pile of berries. The Pokemon did not seem perturbed in the slightest. Isaac groaned. "What am I gonna -" he paused as he noticed Bulbasaur, holding a pink berry with his vine, ready to eat it. A Pecha Berry. His mom had made sure to thouroughly educate him on how to survive in the world before sending him off on his own, and he was pretty sure this cured weaker poisons. He snatched it, and quickly swallowed it. It was way too sweet. Suddenly, he felt better, jumping up. "Yes! Bulbasaur, you're a lifesaver!" He picked up the small Pokemon and hugged it tightly. Bulbasaur seemed confused, and a little peeved that his sweet treat was stolen. "C'mon, let's get out of here. We need to get to Pewter as quickly as possible." He walked off down the path of Viridian Forest, holding Bulbasaur in his hands.
