Chapter 3-A fight and a new friend

Tom looked around at the village which lay before him. A vast expansion of houses were around him, surprising really for Cherrygrove's size. Tom looked around in some pokey old shops(not very interesting really), healed his Pokemon in the Pokemon Centre, and set off on his next destination. All Tom could think about was Violet City. He knew that his first Pokemon Gym was there, and he couldn't wait to fight Falkner, the Bird Keeper there. Also, he had never been beyond Violet(He went shopping there with his mum), and only knew about one town, which was the massive Goldenrod. Tom picked up his feet and started humming the Pokemon March. As Tom has about to end his short-lived visit to Cherrygrove, he heard a noise. It was a shout, actually. Someone was shouting his name. Someone called..
Peter. Tom turned round, and saw Peter running up to him.
"Battle", was all he could be bothered to say.
"Go, Charmander!"He threw his Pokeball, and the orange lizard came out. It looked pretty beaten up.
"Couldn't be bothered healing it," he said nastily. His Charmander emitted a weak cry. Its tail was burning low.
"Go, Pidgey!"Tom shouted. He knew Pidgey would get first hit this time, so he decided to battle. Peter's Charmander was weak anyway.
#Pidgey, gust attack!
Pidgey nodded, and sent out a powerful whirlwhind. This time it was Charmander who got slammed into a tree. Peter growled angrily.
"Stupid Pokemon."
#Use your Ember attack!
Charmander sent out a flame, and then collapsed.
"Aaaaargh! Charmander, return! Err, go Eevee!"he said.Eevee came out of his Pokeball. It wasn't looking particulary tiptop either, but better than Charmander.
#Eevee, Bide!
#Pidgey, gust!
Pidgeys' attack did nothing to Eevee that Tom could see, but then again, Eevee did nothing back.
"Eevee's Bide attack will give back 3 times what you give it."Peter said, triumphantly. Tom just shrugged.
#Pidgey, gust!
Pidgey didn't do anything. Much. Its' wings and body began to grow, and within a few seconds, Pidgey had finished. It had evolved into Pidgeotto. Peter looked shocked. He knew Tom had won.
#Pidgeotto, err, quick attack!
Pidgeotto slammed into Eevee, and it fainted. Tom had won!!! Peter ran off, and purposely left Eevee behind. Tom asked Eevee whether he wanted to saty with him.
Eevee said 'yes', and Tom was on the road to Violet City!!!!!!! At last!!!!!!-But with a new friend....
