Chapter 2
Kanto Gym Disaster
"Ready! Set! GO!" yelled Ash Ketchum. He was battling his rival. He sent out a weird –looking orange reptilian creature with four small fangs visible on its upper and lower jaws. It had flame burning on the tip of its tail and slashing claws that were sharp and strong, and thus potentially dangerous.
Rival Michael sent out a light blue bipedal turtle with a hard shell on its back. "GO! Squirtail," he yelled.
He was faced a level 10 Squirtle. This was going to be tough.
"Squirtail, use TACKLE!" Michael yelled. Charmander took 10damage. "Charmer, use Smokescreen!" Squirtle's accuracy fell. "Squirtail, use Withdraw!" Its defense rose. "Charmer, Tackle!" The attack missed. "Squirtail, use Bubble!" Bubbles shot up from Squirtle's mouth into Charmander's face. It's super effective! Charmander took 20damage. Ash looked at Charmander helplessly. It only had 5 HP left. He used a potion.
"Charmer, Growl!" Squirtle's attack fell. "Squirtle, Tail Whip!" Charmander's defense fell. "Charmer, Ember!" It's not very effective! The opponent's Pokemon took 7damage. "Squirtail, Bubble!" The attack missed. "Charmer, Scratch!" It's a Critical Hit. Squirtle fainted. Ash's Charmander leveled up to level 12.
"NO! WWWAAAAA! It can't be! You beat me! AAAAAAAHHHHH! Don't worry, I'm going to be the greatest trainer and you KNOW it. But first, I've got to get ready for the Pewter Gym. See you soon!" he shouted. Then he ran off hurriedly.
Whew! He sighed. He hurried to the Pokemon center.
