Alice managed to make it through Viridian to the Pokemon Center. The Mankey had been distracted with trying to destroy everything in the town. She healed her Pokemon quickly and then headed outside. The rain was intense. The wind blew the hood off her head in a second.

Aster struggled a little against the wind. Alice had considered using her new Spearow to handle the Mankey, but she knew it would have trouble flying in this. "It's up to you, Aster," she said.

"Bulba." The young Bulbasaur nodded determinedly, wanting to prove himself after the hiccup in the battle with Spearow.

Alice knew exactly where she was going. She turned down the familiar street and there it was: Her old house. Inside it was dark. She wasn't sure if someone lived there now, maybe the power was just out. Seeing the old place brought back a flood of memories, and she thought for a moment about all the Pokemon she used to know. They were now scattered throughout Kanto. She wondered if she might meet some of them again on this journey. The chances seemed slim.

A crash interrupted her thoughts. A garbage bin rolled around the corner and into the street, followed by an angry Mankey, pounding on the ground as it walked. Alice knew she only had a second to react before the Mankey noticed them. If she could hit it first, she would have the advantage.

"Aster, Razor Leaf!" She called, bit the young Pokemon's attack wasn't strong enough to make it through the wind and the leaves blew harmlessly away.

"Saurrr." He frowned.

"Sorry, should have thought of that. Lets get a bit closer and grab it with Vine Whip. Try and slam it against the ground. It will come for us after that, so you need to be ready to use Tackle," Alice instructed.

Aster nodded. At that moment the Mankey got close enough to notice them. It began to shriek angrily.

"Now!" Alice cried.

The plan worked perfectly. After flinging the Mankey with Vine Whip, it rushed at them. Aster countered with Tackle, and the two collided. Both were hurt, but the Mankey was quicker to recover in its enraged state. It moved in closer to Aster who was finally shaking off the previous attack, and grabbed the Bulbasaur, holding it high above its head.

"Sleep Powder!" Alice yelled.

Aster shut his eyes, and a sticky powder began pouring from his bulb. The wind blew most of it away, but because the Mankey was so close, there was enough to do the job. The Mankey stamped around for a bit, its eyelids beginning to droop against its will. Finally, it released Aster and curled up on the ground, asleep.

"Wonderful!" Alice called, holding out her arms for Aster to jump into. "That was perfect!" She patted the Pokemon fondly on the head.

"Now lets try and catch it before it wakes up. She grabbed an empty Pokeball from her bag and threw it at the sleeping Mankey. After rocking a few times, she heard a PING!

Alice collected the Pokeball. Now that the Mankey was quiet, she could hear something from over near the Pokemon Center. Some kind of commotion? She couldn't be sure through the sound of the wind. Suddenly, to her amazement, the sky brightened. It looked as if the storm had never happened, apart from the puddles on the ground. Something was definitely going on... She hurried to the Pokemon Center to find out.

She arrived to see a mysterious man with a Kangaskhan and Gengar. From what she overheard, he had stopped the rest of the Mankey and saved the city. She then heard Rocky say something about Pokemon being stolen from the center. Today seemed to be turning into a total mess...
