Chapter 2

Chase walked down the path, enjoying his travels, thinking about his two pokemon he had. Teddiursa would be a great pokemon one day, he thought. Spheal was a given to be powerful, he couldn't wait until he got to see its real strength. As he walked, a young boy ran out in front of him. "Hey you, I just caught my first pokemon, you want to battle me?" "Sure" replied Chase, ready for the challenge.

"It'll be a two-on-two, ok" the boy said. "Alright, I can do that, lets go!" He threw out his first pokeball containing Teddiursa. The boy tossed out his Sentret and the battle began. Again Chase lost his jolly demeanor and got ready for the battle. "Teddiursa, focus. Be tough. Go! Use scratch attack!" The bear pokemon took its paw out of its mouth and narrowed its eyes. It ran forward full speed and scratched the Sentret, causing a great deal of damage. "Sentret quick, counter it with a tail whip!" The boy said as the Sentret immediately spun around and whacked Teddiursa with its tail. Just as fast, Teddiursa began to wimper. Chase tried not to panic. "Teddy, common don't give up you know you're better than this! Use a head butt attack!"

Teddiursa slowly nodded to chase and then turned back to its opponent. It launched forward, forcing Sentret to the ground with a vicious head butt attack. Knocked out cold, The young trainer returned his first pokemon and threw out his next. "Be ready for a real fight this time. Go Aipom!" A monkey like pokemon appeared with a hand-like tail and a silly grin on its face.

"Teddy, enough come back." Chase smiled as he awaited the chance to use his friend. "Let's do it Spheal!" The seal pokemon came out and cooed ready to do battle. The ape pokemon was quicker than Chase's larger water type. But Chase was prepared to play defense. "Spheal, use your defense curl!" Spheal rolled up in a ball as the Aipom began a double slap attack. Not phased, spheal unrolled and was close up to aipom, ready to make a brutal attack. "Go! Rollout Spheal!" The blue ball rolled quickly down over the top of Aipom and then spun around and came back for the second attack. Aipom was only just getting up when Spheal buried it in the dirt once more.

"Aipom return!" The young trainer called. It was knocked out cold. Chase couldn't help grinning. "Hey that was an awesome battle. Was it a first for you too?" The young boy sighed and said "No, that was my first loss." He lowered his head and said "You're really good. I hope you do well. See ya around." He walked off as Chase began to keep heading towards Violet city. "Wow Spheal, you're awesome!" He let out his Teddiursa and praised it as well. "I think I'm going to call you Teddy for now, because its short and easy." Teddy smiled and hugged Chase just like a baby would. "We need to hurry up and get to Violet City, it's time for lunch and I'm starved. The two pokemon agreed and they quickened the pace to get to the next city faster.
