Viridian Forest

The thick foilage above the trainers obscures large parts of the sunlight, making it hard to tell how far they're in and which way they need to go. Purple looks into a map. "If we maintain a steady pace, we might make it to Pewter City in the late afternoon. Later routes will probably not as easy to traverse within a day.", she tells Orange, her following Purple on the way. Purple keeps an eye on Orange from time to time, knowing that she might run off to chase after an interesting Pokémon. Not much later, it is confirmed that Orange ran off, Purple having lost sight of her.

Orange wanders through some thick grass, discovering a yellow Pokémon in capsule shape, most likely a cocoon. "Hmm..." Orange opens her Pokédex, identifying the Pokémon as Kakuna. "Hehe, Rattata, this is your chance to fight!" She sends it out, immediately having it Tackle into the Kakuna. It seems not to fight back, but Rattata exhausts itself quite much trying to wear down the unmoving enemy. Orange judges the situation, throwing a Pokéball as she doesn't want to exhaust her Rattata any further. It succeeds, letting Orange have more detail about the Pokémon. "I see... when I catch a Pokémon, I get even more info on it...", she notices, heading on. Walking with Rattata, she notices another young trainer wielding a net, pointing at her. "Hey, you're a trainer, right? That means you have to battle!" He calls out, making Orange draw a Pokéball. "Alright, you're on!", she replies, sending out Kakuna at the same time as the other trainer uses Metapod. "Let's see...", Orange says, checking her moves. "Alright, start off with Harden!", she commands, Kakuna simply straightening up and making its exterior tougher. The other trainer makes a similar command, with Metapod basically doing the exact same thing.

Purple was further ahead already at that time, following a narrow passage. She spots a Pokémon passing by. "Alright, Squirtle, time to catch a new Pokémon.", she says, sending it out. The wild Pokémon stops, which Purple identifies to be Pikachu. "Start out using Bubble." Squirtle fires a small stream of bubbles as Pikachu retaliates by growling at the blue Pokémon. "Better use another Bubble.", Purple orders, not wanting to have Squirtle make contact with Pikachu due to its ability. It attacks Squirtle with a jolt of electricity, making it stagger back. Without another word, Purple throws a Pokéball, catching Pikachu successfully. "It might be useful later on.", she comments, heading onward.

Orange is a little tilting upon Kakuna and Metapod hardening over and over, to the point it doesn't even make any difference. Eventually, the two Pokémon rub and collide into each other in desperation, barely managing to damage their firmly hardened bodies. Metapod passes out in fatigue, leaving Kakuna standing. "I... guess that's one way to win...", Orange says with a blush, withdrawing Kakuna. "I better get going!", Orange says, rushing out to get out of the forest now.

Pewter City

It took until afternoon, but Purple now has arrived in the city. "Figures that Orange would be held up..." She remarks, checking out the Pokémon Center as well as the Mart while Orange is catching up. Not much later, she arrives triumphantly, her Charmander following in a prideful stride. "That was easy", Orange says, "So, Purple, ready for a battle?" Upon hearing the challenge, Purple draws a Pokéball. "Gladly.", she answers, sending out Pidgey first. Orange's first choice here is Rattata, getting pumped. "Alright, Quick Attack!", she commands, Rattata immediately landing a hit. "Sand-Attack", Purple responds calmly, blowing sand at Rattata. "Follow up with Tackle", she then issues, Orange grinning at this. "Hit it again with Quick Attack!", she declares, with Pidgey avoiding the next hit and ramming Rattata from below. "Oh...", Orange notices, trying to keep her cool. "Another Quick Attack!", she issues, Purple shrugging. "Tackle again." The two collide head on, with Pidgey barely hanging on and Rattata fainting. "Heh, alright Rattata...", Orange says as she withdraws. "You're up, Kakuna!" she sends it out, Purple pointing forth. "Use Tackle", she commands, Orange responding: "Do your thing in that one battle before!", Kakuna trying to hit back Pidgey somehow, managing to knock out the incoming bird. "Did you just... use Struggle?", Purple asks in confusion. "What's that?", Orange asks cluelessly. Purple sighs, replying: "It's basically a move Pokémon use if they're incapable of using any other move they know. It isn't that strong and hurts the user. You should avoid having to rely on this move to inflict damage." Purple then sends out Pikachu, easily dispatching Kakuna with Thundershock. "I still got one more - Charmander, let's do this!" Charmander comes forth, raring to fight. "Show it our Ember!", she shouts, the flames pelting on Pikachu. "Use Growl!", Purple says, having Pikachu growl at Charmander. "Don't back down! Ember again!", Charmander does so, finishing Pikachu with that second attack. Purple withdraws Pikachu, smiling. "I also have my starter left. Let's do this, Squirtle!", she sends out her starter, looking confident. The two girls command Ember and Water Gun at the same time, the small projectiles passing and inflicting damage to both Pokémon, Charmander moreso than Squirtle. "This doesn't look good... Scratch!", Orange says, Charmander out to scratch at Squirtle, which able to hold out against the attack. "Water Gun again.", Purple orders, hitting Charmander at close range and defeating it. "Alright...", Orange says, withdrawing her Charmander. "That was a strong battle, keep it up, Purple!", Orange tells her, not able to really be upset if she's a great trainer.
