"Ugh, this is harder than I thought" I said, going through a huge part of grass in route 30. "Well what did you

expect? Little grass in the second route? I don't think so!" Flare said, following behind me. "Route 29 wasn't that

bad. But I think I'd go rather listen to that old guy talk and tell us stuff that we already know back in Cherrygrove."

say, picking a berry from the tree right next to Mr. Pokemon's House. "Good thing we got here unscathed." Flare

said, reading the mailbox right next to the house. We head inside, and see 2 people talking.

Back at New Bark Town, Professor Elm left to do some work. The red-haired boy, other wise known as Conner, look

inside, and waited for Elm to leave. The time was now. He brakes the window and jumps in. "Don't worry, I won't

hurt you..." He said quietly. "... As long as you prove your worth my time." He adds, picking Totodile (They always do

that, remind me of one game that doesn't do that). "You look strong, but you'll need to prove that." He said, and

takes Totodile out of the building.

Conner Obtained Totodile!

"Well that went well!" Flare tells me upon entering Cherrygrove City. "Good thing we didn't run into any pokemon

on the way back." He adds. "I don't get what is so strange about an egg?" I tell Flare. "Plus since a pokemon was

stolen from the lab, they would need to head over here unless they had a pokemon with Surf!" I add as well.

We were about to head to route 29 again. "Hey I know you!" A voice says in the distance. "Great it's that jerk

again." Flare whispers to me. "I noticed you have a pokemon from the lab." He said. "I do." I tell him. "What a

waste. A wimp like you." He said in a very cocky voice. "I'll make you eat those words!" Flare said, enraged by the

comment. "Your pokemon's impressive." He comments Flare. "But mine is better." He said again with that cocky

voice and throws out a pokeball.

Passerby Boy ? Sent Out Totodile.

"Now then, I'll prove mine's the best!" He shouts. "Alright then Flare go get them!" I replied, ready to fight.

"Flare use Tackle!" Flare slammed into Totodile.

Totodile's Hp 14/21

"Totodile Leer him!" Totodile stared at Flare intimidatingly.

Flare's Defense Lowered!

"Flare Leer him back!" Flame almost perfectly copied Totodile's leer.

Totodile's Defense Lowered!

"Totodile one more time! Leer!" Totodile repeated the same thing as before.

Flare's Defense Lowered!

"Flare Tackle!" Flare tackled Totodile once more.

Totodile's Hp 4/21

"Grrrr, I'll admit it your tough." He says. I smirk, knowing that Totodile didn't leave a mark on Flare, and that Flare

could take 2 Leers and a Scratch. "But this will end it!" He shouts once again.

"Totodile! Finish it with a scratch!" Totodile scratched at Flare, but not at the body.

"FLARE!" I shout when I saw the scratch tore at his eye. "Agh..." Flare says weakly.

CRITICAL HIT!

Flare's Hp 1/19

"Flare..." I say, noticing a little blood. "Hmp, your Cyndaquil's eye isn't shocking, but the fact it's still up is a miracle."

He says in a non-caring voice. I look at Flare, he looked in extremely serious pain. Flare gets up, covering it's eye

with it's hand. "Now you've done it." He says in the same weak voice. "Arthur, lets end this." He says in a weak, but

determined voice. "I won't die in the first battle!" He yells. I nod, and say...

"Flare! Smokescreen!" He shoots smoke out of it's back.

Totodile's Accuracy Lowered!

"What the... Totodile Scratch!" Totodile scratched at complete nothing.

Totodile's Attack Missed!

"Flare! Tackle let's go!" He tackled from behind, and before it hit...

"Hey Totodile, behind you." He whispers. "Totodile scratch's behind him, but nothing was there...

Totodile got slammed from the behind by Flare. "I really meant the other behind." Flare taunts Totodile.

Totodile's Hp 0/21

Totodile Fainted!

Flare gained 67 exp.

Flare leveled up to level 7!

Totodile fell to the ground, knocked out. "WHAT?!" he shouts in raged by his defeat. Flare smirks, then falls to

the ground due to pain. "Flare! You okay?" I run over to check on him. "I'm fine... But my eye hurts." He said in

a no duh fashion. "Hmp, your too weak Totodile, I'll never become the league champion with you." He says to

Totodile. "My name's Conner, the soon to be League Champion, and I don't need pests like you keep me from it."

He then pushes me back like before and leave. "Geez, what a jerk." Flare says in comedic tone.

Later at the Pokemon Center. "Your Cyndaquil is all better, however, we can't heal the eye, but the vision should

come back in a few days, but the mark will remain as a scar." Nurse Joy said. "At least he's okay." I tell her.

We head out side. "Well how did you know I learned Smokescreen?" Flare asked. "Well..."

FLASHBACK!

"Okay were almost there just one last grass..."

Wild Sentret Appeared!

"DANGIT!" Flame yells.

"Ugh... There goes our route 29 pokemon.

"Oh yea..." Flare said. "Anyways, we need to head back down to the lab, don't you remember the egg?" He said,

almost instantly changing the subject. "Yea I know, but I was concerned about your eye, that's all." I say, walking

into route 29. "Like I mean, how does that happen?" I asked Flare.
