Ashleigh Blueheart Book I: Kanto I CHOOSE YOU!!!

Chapter 02: Battle Before Route 01!

"Oh, well I'm sorry. But I got it first, tough luck!" Ashleigh explained to the girl.
"Yeah well! We'll battle over it! Your Eevee against my Squirtle!" She exclaimed. "Squirtle go!" She yelled out as she threw her Pokeball. Ashleigh jumped back as the ball opened and a cute little blue Pokemon stood there. Its tail seemed to be very curly and its shell seemed strong. It opened its mouth to speak.

"Squirtle!" The little turtle said.
"Okay, well! Eevee I choose you!" Ashleigh shouted as she threw her Pokeball. Out came a dog-like Pokemon. With pointy ears, a bushy tail, and soft fur it was the Pokemon almost all girls would die for.

The reddish brown dog with white fur under its chin and on its neck squeaked out. "Eevee!"

"Squirtle, Water Gun!" The other girl yelled. The Squirtle obeyed and it jumped into the air. The blue turtle spit tons of water out at the Eevee as it cried its name.
"Ee-he-vee!" The dog cried out, as it was drenched.

"It's okay Eevee, now shake it off and then Tackle the turtle!" The Dog Pokemon shook the water off of itself and then jumped into the air, landing upon the Turtle Pokemon!
"Yes! Good Job! Now, Eevee! Scratch it right in its little face!" Ashleigh yelled out. The Eevee, still on top of Squirtle, moved a little and then slashed out at the Squirtle's face. Blood came from the turtle's face.

"Great! That matches!" Ashleigh giggled out.
"Grr! Squirtle, push it off and then show it your Tackle Attack!" The blue turtle pushed the dog off of itself and then jumped into the air. The Squirtle got inside its shell and spun towards Eevee, at point blank, the Eevee went flying! Eevee was lying on the ground, blood coming from its mouth and nose.
"You'll pay!" Ashleigh yelled out. She ran over to her dog to see if it was alright. Ashleigh shook the Eevee, crying out its name. The Eevee finally stirred and got up. Ashleigh wiped the blood from off its face and then kissed it. She bent down and whispered into its ear.

"Look, I want you to Bark and Growl at the Squirtle. That should make it weak, and not pay attention to what's happening. Then, I want you to run in, Bite its tail, and then Tackle it from behind. Got it?"
"Eevee!" It said enthusiastically. Ashleigh hugged the dog and let it go.

The dog ran up to the Squirtle, barking loudly and growling even louder than its barks. The Squirtle got inside its shell because it's so frightened. Eevee ran up to it, put its nose and mouth into the end of the shell, and snapped down upon the turtle's tail. Squirtle quickly rushed out of its shell, very much enraged. It turned and looked at the Eevee, that was on the ground.

"SQUIRTLE!" It cried out in agony.
"Good! Squirtle, now Tackle it!" The turtle got into its stance and flew threw the air, straight for Eevee's face.
"Uh! Uhm!" Ashleigh cried out nervously, knowing this would end the battle if Squirtle hit Eevee. "Eevee! I want you to jump up into the air as hard as you can! Try and hit under Squirtle's Shell! That is the weak part!!!" Ashleigh yelled out. Eevee barked and then jumped as high as its little body could carry it. Eevee bumped into the shell, knocking the shell and itself away. They landed about 10 feet from each other. Ashleigh ran over to Eevee and the girl ran over to Squirtle. Eevee was wincing in pain as it did the famous dog-cry-out-in-pain (you know, the: arr, arr, arr, arr). Eevee seemed to still be conscious. Ashleigh looked over at the turtle. It was KO'd! Ashleigh jumped up and down with glee. She then picked up her hurt Eevee, kissed it, and returned it into its Pokeball.

"I WON! WOO HOO!" Ashleigh cried out with utter and complete happiness. Tears of joy fell out from her eyes. Ashleigh then walked over to the girl, who had returned her Pokemon as well.

"Good battle!" Ashleigh said to her as she stuck out her hand. "The name's Ashleigh Blueheart. What's your name?" The girl didn't take the hand, she just crossed her arms and turned her back on her.

"If you must know, it's Emily Cecilia." She said as she walked off. Ashleigh rolled her eyes as she walked towards her next destination… VIRIDIAN CITY!
