ICE PATH TRAINING

Dual and Charmander have left home and now they are on their way to the Ice Path. As the approached they entrance to the cave, Dual and Charmander heard a loud roar boom from the cave. "What in the world was that noise?"

Charmander looked at Dual and then he looked at the entrance of the cave and let out a loud roar " Charmmmmaaannndddeerrr!" The cry of Charmander echoed in the cave. Charmander let out a breath of fire.

Dual- "Ha-ha! Come on Charmander; let's go we're not going to let a little roar stop us from training."

Dual and Charmander walking into the cave Dual was look at all of the ice-type Pokémon trying to see if there were any he wanted to catch. Dual saw several groups of Swinub walking around and some Delibird playing catch with their tails and a ball of snow. As Dual and Charmander turn a corner, they ran into two Sneasel having a battle. "Watch closely Charmander; learn how they dodge each other's attacks" As Dual and Charmander approached both Sneasel stop and stared for a moment and continued fighting; and as they fought Dual noticed that one of the Sneasel had a scare on it chest like something smashed it.

-Start Battle-

-Sneasel charged the scarred Sneasel with a Metal Claw and the scarred Sneasel effortlessly stepped aside and hit the other Sneasel in the back with a Metal Claw. Charmander paid close attention to that dodge by the scarred Sneasel.

- The other Sneasel got up and used Ice Shard and the scarred Sneasel smashed the Ice Shard with a Metal Claw.

- The scarred Sneasel used Faint Attack and hit the other Sneasel hard in the face and sent it flying into some frozen rocks. The other Sneasel was badly injured.

-End Battle-

Dual soon realized that this was no regular battle. The scarred Sneasel hit the other Sneasel with a Metal Claw. The other Sneasel was now knocked out but the scarred Sneasel kept hitting the other Sneasel with Metal Claw. Okay this Sneasel is going too far it time to enter this battle.

-Start Battle-

Dual- "Charmander use Flamethrower!" Charmander shot a blaze of fire out of its mouth and sent the scarred Sneasel fly into the wall.

The scarred Sneasel was caught off guard and retaliated with an Ice Beam. Charmander use Flamethrower to defend. The two attacks collided and a burst of steam erupted from the collision point.

The scarred Sneasel used the opportunity to come in quick with a Metal Claw. "Charmander brace yourself and counter with Metal Claw."

Charmander took the hit and Charmander was able to hit the scarred Sneasel with a Metal Claw while it was close. "Charmander while it is off balance hit with Flamethrower!" The scarred Sneasel took a direct hit and was sent flying.

A fiery blaze engulfed the scarred Sneasel. "Yes! You burned it good job Charmander."

The scarred Sneasel was now seriously injured but it was still ready to fight.

Dual- "What's with this Sneasel it just won't quite."

"ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR" The roar was much louder than it was it was before. The roar also caused the scarred Sneasel stop its attack. "ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR!" Not only was the roar louder than the last time but it was also sounded closer. The ground started to shake.

Dual- "This cannot be good." A Steelix shot out of the ground roar louder than ever. "WHAT THE-. Steelix don't live so what's this one doing here."

?-"Well kid looks like you're the guy who's been giving my Sneasel a hard time."

Dual- "Who the heck are you?"

?-"Me? Glad you asked kid, the name's Bradic and I'm a Pokémon Hunter."

Dual- "Since when do pokemon hunter kill pokemon."

Bradic- " Yeah sorry bout that, but my Sneasel sometimes loses its head in a battle. Now will you get out of the way I trying to catch that Sneasel behind you?"

Dual- "What? No! Just because you being polite doesn't mean I approve of what you are doing."

Bradic- "So what are you going do? Battle my Steelix, my Sneasel, and Me with your already exposed Charmander and yourself."

Dual-"Looks like that is my only option."

Bradic- "Kid you're a rookie trainer, I can tell by your new cloths. Heck I'm surprised you were beating my Sneasel."

Dual-"Are you going talk all day or battle me?"

Bradic- "Fine kid if you want to battle. LET'S GO!"

Dual- "Fine by me, let's go Charmander." The Hurt Sneasel got up and ran to Charmander's side. "You want to battle to, good we could use the help."

Bradic- "I'll start this off Steelix use Screech and Sneasel use twin Metal Claw!" The Screech attack sent both the hurt Sneasel and Charmander flying and while they were off balance the scarred Sneasel hit them with Metal Claw.

Dual- "Nice combo but it was not good enough. Charmander use Metal Claw to dig a hole and Sneasel use Hail!" Charmander dig a hole and to Bradic surprise Charmander was protected from the effects of the Hail and since Steelix is part ground type it was taking a great deal of damage. "Now Sneasel stay behind the hole and keep up the Hail."

Bradic- "Steelix use Screech on the other Sneasel, and Sneasel use Metal Claw on the other Sneasel as well.

Dual- "You fell for my trap. Now, Charmander use Flamethrower from inside the hole." The Screech from Steelix did not reach the hurt Sneasel because of the Hail and when the scarred Sneasel jumped over the hole it was hit critical hitting Flamethrower, knocking it out for good.

Bradic- "SNEASEL RETURN! You may have beaten Sneasel but your Sneasel and Charmander don't stand a chance against my Steelix.

To be continued.
