“Go Cyndaquil!” screamed Pray75. “Use Bite!”

The Cyndaquil that was standing next to Pray75 jumped to attention and lunged at Tgags123’s Torchic.

The Torchic rolled out of the way and used Ember on its foe. A short burst of fire engulfed Cyndaquil, but had no effect.

“You need to do better than that! Don’t you know anything about the pokemon types? Cyndaquil! Use Quick attack.”

The Cyndaquil lunged again, but this time crashed right into Torchic, sending it backwards a couple of feet.

“Get up Torchic!” Tgags123 screamed. “Let’s go, use Tackle!”

This time, it was Torchic that was lunging, it crashed into Cyndaquil and knocked it down.

“Tgags123! The weather is getting bad!” Screamed KiyokoNee. “Maybe you should call this off for a bit and head inside!”

“Stay out of this!” Screamed Pray75. “Let’s go Cyndaquil, use Pound and end this!”

Cyndaquil stood up but looked weak with the rain falling on it. It then jumped high I the air and slammed it’s body down on Torchic.

“Torchic! Get up! We can do this!”

“It’s too late. Look, your Torchic fainted. It’s all over, I won. Let’s go Cyndaquil, let’s get you out of this rain.”

Pray75 walked away with an evil smile beginning to form. “You have a lot to learn before you can become a true trainer, and I don’t want you to become a true trainer. Whenever you come close, I will be there to defeat you. Just remember that.”

“You did good on your first battle,” said Chewedmint. “You know you won’t win each and every match right? There will always be a challenge facing you, and you will not overcome them all.”

“I know,” said Tgags123. “I’m okay with losing, but I’m not okay with losing to him, I can see why only a handful of people like him.”

After a tough defeat, Tgags123 walked with KiyokoNee and Chewedmint to the bus terminal, ready to begin their journey.
