Chapter 2: The Rival Battle
Tasha was waiting for Sara so that they can "compare" Pokemon by battling.
"Hey, Tasha, you might not want to battle me because my Pokemon have more experience. I don't even want to waste the time of day on you."
"Well, aren't we confident. I think my starter can take yours. Let's go Hydro!"
Hydro came out of his Pokeball to reveal that it was a squirtle. The squirtle looked tough and it even had a type advantage over charmander. The battle might be tougher than even Sara imagined.
"Go Charmy!"
Charmy came out and gave out a small roar, trying to intimidate the squirtle. "Alright, Charmy, let's go. Use your scratch attack!"
"Hydro withdraw!" Hydro then curled up into its shell, while Charmy tried to scratch through it without any effect.
"Charmy, try your ember attack!"
"Hydro counter with your bubble!"
The bubbles that Hydro let out from its mouth canceled out all charmy let out little sparks of fire out. Sara then got an idea. "Charmy use ember again!"
"Sara, don't you learn anything. His ember will just be canceled out by the bubbles, but if you want to try I can't help it. Hydro counter again with bubble!"
Just like last time the ember was canceled by the bubbles. "Charmy, quick use scratch before it can withdraw!"
Charmy followed Sara's command and hit squirtle with a hard scratch attack. It was enough to knock it out. "I guess he isn't strong enough yet. Just wait though. I will become the best and even better than you."
Tasha ran off toward the exit and up Route 1. Sara decided to head to her aunt's house and rest up for a bit before heading to Viridian City.
"Hi! I am back for a bit!" yelled Sara to announce her arrival.
"Hi, Sara," said her aunt and she ran up and hugged Sara. "So did you get your Pokedex from Oak yet?"
"Yes I did. It is right here on my wrist. It is a new model he wanted to try out. I find it pretty cool."
"It is amazing Sara. Well, you can rest up in your room. I will wake you up in an hour. And by the way I made cookies this morning, so you can eat some if you like when you wake up."
"Alright. Thanks!" yelled Sara as she ran up the stairs. It had already been a long day and she had yet to travel anywhere. Sara rolled over on her bed after she released Charmy, who went to sleep in his corner. She looked over the town map and saw that she had to reach Pewter City before there was a gym that she could battle at. It was a three-day journey from here. "I better grab some cookies, because I am too tired to sleep."
Sara ran downstairs, this time making sure she didn't trip, and then headed to the kitchen and took some cookies. She then snuck back upstairs before her aunt noticed. Her aunt didn't like Sara eating in her room, but Sara did it anyways.
Sara walked into her room and looked around to make sure everything was in order before she left. The poster of the Pokemon Masters, Ash Ketchum and Gary Oak, was hanging over the bed. The poster of her favorite actresses, the Cerulean Sisters plus Misty, was hanging on the wall at the foot of the bed. Her dresser was messy with loose ends and stuff that really didn't matter. It even had four broken alarm clocks sitting on it. Sara didn't like waking up to the sound of the alarm clock, so she always threw them against the wall so that she could go back to sleep. Her aunt would yell at her for doing it and told her to get up anyways. Charmy was still fast asleep and it would probably be another half an hour before he was fully healed.
Maybe she should train with Mike before she headed. She ran downstairs and ran over to the sea. "Go Mike!"
Mike came out his Pokeball and it swam up to Sara and gave Sara a hug. "That's enough Mike. I think we should train a bit. There is some tentacool in this area that you should be strong enough to beat easily so let's get going."
Sara jumped onto Mike's shell and they swam only a little ways off shore before they met their first victim. Mike easily beat all of the tentacools they saw. They swam around for a half an hour before they headed back to shore.
Just before they got back to shore though, a tentacle came out of the water and wrapped around Mike. It tried to drag Mike and Sara underwater, but Mike was too strong.
"Mike what is that?"
"La la pras la pras pras {I think it is a tentacruel,}" answered Mike.
Just as Mike was talking the tentacruel came up out of the water and the battle was on.
