Chapter 4 Analysis & Commentary

Jake had started the trek through the Viridian Forest, unaware of the Pokemon he might find in. The forest looked like a maze, each tree looking almost alike.

*Duunu-Duunu-Duuh!*

Wild Caterpie Appeared!

Go Weedle!

Wild Caterpie used String Shot! Weedle’s Speed fell.

Weedle used Poison Sting! Wild Caterpie takes damage of 7!

Wild Caterpie used Tackle! Wild Caterpie missed!

Weedle used Poison Sting! Wild Caterpie takes damage of 6!

Wild Caterpie fainted!


Thinking I need to exposit about Pokemon getting experience points, here I bore you.

Jake did a little more training with Weedle, giving it a potion after every other battle to keep its stamina up. The sun was getting ready to set, and Jake needed to set up camp. Suddenly, a faint hum started to fill the air. “What is that?” asked Jake to himself, as he decided to check it out.

Oh wow, something abnormal is happening in the Pokemon Universe? Sound the alarms!

Around the corner, Jake came across a two-story house. “What is a house doing in the middle of Viridian Forest?” Jake asked himself. The hum got louder, and it started to sound as if it was coming from the second story. Jake entered the house; the table was set up for two, but nobody had apparently been cooking. “Hello?” Jake called out. Just as he had, the humming abruptly stopped.

Whoa! A Secret House in the Viridian Forest! Jake, is obviously pretty excited at this discovery.

Jake sneakily walked up the stairs and saw a figure, sitting down on the floor meditating. It looked like it may have been a Pokemon, it resembled a feline, but was large and had what looked like tubes of some sort going through its back. The humming returned, but very faintly, as if it was aware of its guest. Jake was frozen in terror. “What… are you?” Jake asked rhetorically but with fear, not expecting an answer. The humming again stopped, and the creature opened its eyes in anger. Jake screamed.

Well look who goes and establishes himself pretty early in the story. Even though I don't flat out state who this is, its obvious, right? While initially excited, something about this creature had frozen Jake in terror. Of course, the creature notices Jake's presence, and isn't pleased.

*Duunu-Duunu-Duuh!*

??? appeared!

Go Weedle!

??? idles!

Weedle used Poison Sting! ??? took damage of 2!

??? Screamed in pain!


More textwalling, but this part features an important plot point. Weedle used Poison Sting and it did make contact...

The house started to rumble, windows started to shatter, and the Mysterious Pokemon looked furious. “Weedle! Return!” shouted Jake using his Pokeball. Jake ran down the stairs as quick as can be and managed to escape the house just as it imploded. A purple streak quickly shot out of the rubble. “What in the world was that all about?” Jake asked himself.

After Weedle struck the Pokemon, the Pokemon destroyed the house in a fit of anger, deciding to spare Jake's life and disappearing on its own accord... Fortunately, Jake survived the ordeal.

Suddenly, Weedle released out of its Pokeball, and started to glow. “What? Weedle?”

Huh? Weedle is evolving!

Congratulations, Weedle has evolved into Kakuna!


Hey, they evolve quick, right? Besides, he gets the experience for fighting you-know-who, thats a lot of experience!

“This is great! Good job Kakuna! Next up is your Beedrill form!” Jake exclaimed with glee. Kakuna looked pleased too. The two had a quick meal before setting up camp for the night. The morning came and Jake wasted no time cleaning up and continuing on his journey. “Hopefully we will be out of this forest by mid-afternoon” Jake told himself. Suddenly, the bushes started to shift mildly… “Pi..ka?”

Setting up another end of chapter cliffhanger, featuring a character I was itching to write about.
