The Story of Alsh, Ash's Brother

CHAPTER ONE
Our story starts at Pallet Town. It was my 10th birthday, but instead of celebrating, I was running to Professor Oak's lab to get a Pokemon license and my first Pokemon. (My brother Ash got Pikachu!) When I got to the lab, Prof. Oak wasn't there! Instead, some guy was there!
"Where is Prof. Oak?" I asked. "Prof. Oak just left on vacation. I'm George, his assistant. Are you Alsh?" he asked. "Yes." I replied. "The Prof. said to give you this." He handed me a Pokeball. I opened it slowly. A Scyther came out! "Wahoo!" I yelled. "A Scyther!" I recalled it and ran back home. I showed Scyther to my mom. She gave me a Pokedex and some Pokeballs! I said goodbye, packed my things, and left Pallet Town.

CHAPTER TWO
I made it to the Pallet River and took a quick nap. When I woke up it was the next day. "Nooo!" I yelled. "I missed a whole day of Pokemon training!" Then I spotted something gliding through the water. It was a Pikachu on a surfboard! It jumped off the surfboard and landed right by me! "That's one special Pikachu!" I said. "I gotta catch it! Scyther, go!" I yelled. "Scyther, Sword Dance!" Scyther
began to spin, making the Pikachu (and me) dizzy. I threw a Pokeball at it. It was so dizzy, I instantly captured it! "Yes, I got Pikachu!" I yelled. I let it out. "Pi pikachu!" it said. I recalled Scyther. "OK Pikachu, return!" I said. It didn't move. "Yaaaa! It won't go in the Pokeball! Just great!" I yelled. Pikachu climbed into my backpack and I kept walking.
CHAPTER THREE
I began walking on the path to Viridian City. Suddenly, the bushes by the path began to rustle, and a Pidgey jumped onto the path! "A Pidgey! This is my lucky day!" I yelled. I threw a Pokeball at it. It dodged the Pokeball and used Gust on me and Pikachu! We barely managed to dodge it. "Pikachu, Thunder!" I yelled. Pikachu's lightning hit the Pidgey, causing lots of sand to hit Pidgey! "When Pidgey is attacked, its anger can cause it to evolve." my Pokedex bleeped. I gasped. Would the Pidgey evolve?
