Zack: [smiles] all right I caught my first pokemon [takes out pokedex] ok pokedex tell me about my new pokemon

Pokedex: Rattata, the rat pokemon, rattatas are common to roam in fields and roadways and pounce on unexpected trainers, in a battle rattatas are quite weak and regulary struggle.

Zack: weak?? Oh well by training it into a winner it'll prove how good a trainer I am

Josh: [laughs] oh you were serious?? Ok fine whatever your funeral [throws pokeball]

[firery dog demon appears]

Zack: [holds out pokedex] houndoom the fire pokemon, houndoom combines dark type with fire type and is not uncommon living in volcanoes and old buildings

Josh: playing coward?

Zack: [ingoring] pidgey launch a sand attack at houndoom

[sand covers houndoom]

Josh: a bit of sand isnt gonna win the battle for you now houndoom launch a fire spin up into the air!!

Zack: pidgey use gust to blow the fire spin back to houndoom

[fire spins round houndoom]

Josh: ha it wont do as much damage to houndoom as he is a fire type so he has a resistance to fire

Zack: [brittany will be mine!!] pidgey land and charge up a tackle attack!!

[fire spin weakens]

Zack: get ready.
