Part 1 of 2
    Lewis and Mewthree entered the Cerulean city Gym.  Mewthree needed to get another badge for entering the Pokemon League.  Icy told Mewthree exactly where to find Misty, and specifically told him not to call her a little girl.  Mewthree spotted Misty feeding her Togepi.   “Hello, Misty.  I’m here to battle you for your Cascade Badge.” Mewthree said.  “Alright, but I will not lose.” Misty said.  She put Togepy down and led Mewthree and Lewis to the gym arena.  Mewthree and Misty stood at opposite sides of the water pool.  “Misty calls, Staryu!” Misty commands.  She threw the pokeball and out came the star-shaped Pokemon.  “Mewthree calls, Paras!”  Paras comes out of his Pokeball on a different platform than Staryu.
    “Staryu!  Tackle attack!” Misty shouts.  Staryu came in for a tackle, but Mewthree used his Psychic abilities to extend Paras’s level so it would learn a powerful attack.  Paras used Spore just as Misty’s Staryu came close to Paras.  Staryu was out cold.  “Eeeeerrrggggg, return Staryu!  Misty now calls, Starmie!” Misty shouts.  Staryu came back in the pokeball, and a double star-shaped Pokemon came out.  “Return, Paras.  Good work.  Starmie will feel the power of, Weedle!  Go!” Mewthree shouts.  Weedle was not a foot out of the pokeball when Misty screamed, “Eek!  A bug!”  Mewthree rolled his eyes.  “Starmie, tackle attack!” Misty shouts.  Starmie rolls into an airborne tackle, which Weedle evades!  “Weedle, finish it with one hit!  Use Psybeam!” Mewthree shouts.
    Weedle points its stinger at Starmie and releases the energy!  Starmie looks defeated when...  “Starmie!  Recover!” Misty commands.  Starmie glowed, and then its wounds were healed!  Mewthree got worried.  “Weedle! Give it another Psybeam!”  “Starmie!  Psychic attack!” Misty shouts. Starmie releases a powerful blast of Psychic energy at Weedle!  Weedle was knocked down.  Mewthree had lost for the first time since he became a trainer.
    Weedle was put within critical care at the Cerulean city Pokemon center. Mewthree awaited the verdict for Weedle.  He was worried about it.  He recalled how he caught it.  He had seen it outside.  The boy who threw a pokeball at Mewthree ran away, and Mewthree reformed the pokeball that he crushed.  He used it to catch Weedle.  The medical sign came off, and Nurse Joy came out.

    Nurse Joy walked out with the injured Weedle on a stretcher.  “Is Weedle alright?” Mewthree asked.  “Yes, you got it here just in time.  You should’ve known you shouldn’t use bug type to fight Misty.” Nurse Joy replied.  Weedle got up and got on its trainer’s hand.  “Don’t worry, Weedle, we’ll use Venonat against Starmie the next time we-...” Mewthree started to say.  Weedle growled.  “Huh?” Mewthree asked.  “Weedle doesn’t want to lose, it’s willing to battle Starmie again, you two just need a new strategy against Misty.” Lewis says.
    Hours later, Mewthree had thought of his new strategy and was back within the Cerulean Gym.  “Ready to lose again?” Misty asked.  “Not a chance, Misty!  My new strategy is ready.” Mewthree replied.  “A new strategy, eh? So you’ve thought of a new way to lose.  A one on one battle!  Starmie, go!” Misty replied.  “Mewthree chooses, Weedle!” Mewthree shouts.  Weedle came out of Mewthree’s pokeball.
    “Prepare to lose again, Starmie!  Water gun!” Misty commanded.  Starmie began firing powerful blasts of water at Weedle who was hit by every one of them.  Then, Weedle jumped up and evaded the last ones!  “Now Starmie! Finish it off with Psychic!” Misty shouts.  Starmie fired the Psychic blast, but Weedle dove underwater!  Misty was confused.  Mewthree was smiling. “Starmie!  Find Weedle underwater!” Misty commanded.  Starmie dove underwater...  Only to dive into a net!  Weedle pulled the netted Starmie out of the water.  “Now Weedle, use Drill sting!”  Weedle jumped into the air and twisted into a drill formation!  He fell down and hit the netted Starmie.  Starmie had lost.  “Starmie return!” Misty shouted.  Weedle then started a string shot attack above it!  “Weedle, what are you doing?” Mewthree asked.  Suddenly, the string shot surrounded Weedle’s body! “Weedle’s evolving!” Lewis shouts.  The string shot cleared. And a stiff yellow cocoon appeared.  “Alright!  I have Kakuna!  Congratulations, Kakuna!” Mewthree said.
    Mewthree and Lewis were eating at the café in Cerulean city.  An old man approached them and said, “I saw how you defeated Misty.  I want you to have these, they’re the next 6 badges for the Pokemon League.  Oh and this Pokemon.”  The old man handed a confused Mewthree 6 badges, and a pokeball. The old man then left.  “That was strange, I wonder what’s inside the ball. Pokeball, go!” Mewthree said.  A Pokemon came out of the pokeball which said, “Ba!  Ba!”  Mewthree had no idea what the Pokemon was.  “Lewis, what’s that?” Mewthree asked.  “It’s a Lady-Ba!  They’re quite a common species of bug Pokemon in our time, but here they’re quite rare!” Lewis replied. “Should we head to the Pokemon League now that I have all 8 badges?” Mewthree asked.  “I guess.  But I have a bad feeling about this...” Lewis says.
    The old man transformed in the shadows.  He was contacted on a wrist communicator.  “Did you deliver the package?” a voice asks.  “Yes.  Mewthree will head to the League.  Also, Giovanni now believes that the Doomsday project is being moved to the Indigo Plateau, so he will go there as well. Icy is also there, and Mewtwo will be curious about why all three of his enemies are converging in one spot.  He will come to investigate, and we will trap them all.” The old man says, who wasn’t really an old man.
