Sorry it's been awhile well this was the only Idea I had right now please forgive me

One night a boy named Alex was watching his village's mareeps, when he realized something...he was bored. So he decided, "I'm gonna run down the hill and tell everybody I saw a Houndoom, then I'll run back up here, and when they ask where the Houndoom is, and I'll say I battled him and won, then I'll be a hero.
