In the last chapter, Silver met a trainer named Dude who offered to teach Silver how to
catch Pokemon. Facing a small Caterpie, Silver battled it and threw his pokeball. Will he
catch it?
Chapter 8: Trainer Battles and Evolution
Silver's pokeball hit the Caterpie. Caterpie disappeared into the ball and the ball dropped
to the ground. Silver and Dude looked on as the pokeball shook and shook, until finally, the
short 'ding' noise was heard. Silver had caught the Caterpie.
"Yeah!", yelled Silver as he ran to pick up the pokeball, "Caterpie is mine!".
"Cynda, Cynda!", cried Cyndaquil happily.
"Congratulations Silver, that was amazing", said Dude, "You are now ready to head to Violet
City!".
"Alright!", cried Silver. Dude bid Silver farewell and good luck, then he left. Silver
started up Route 30 on the path to Violet City. Silver was most likely the happiest person
in the world at that moment. He finally caught a Pokemon. Now Silver was ready for his
first Johto gym until he was stopped.
"My name is Joey, and I want to battle!", the trainer said.
"Alright then", said Silver. He pulled out the pokeball that he caught Caterpie with and
threw it. Caterpie came out. Silver checked his pokedex and saw Caterpie was at level 6.
"Go, Rattata!", Joey said, throwing his own pokeball.
"Rattata!", it cried. Silver checked his pokedex and saw it was at level 4.
"Caterpie, use String Shot", Silver ordered. Caterpie shot a long, silky string from it's
mouth and wrapped Rattata up in it. That was sure to slow it down.
"Rattata, use Tackle!", Joey cried. Rattata rammed into Caterpie and sent it flying.
Caterpie was down but not out.
"Caterpie, Tackle it!", Silver commanded. Caterpie came into contact with Rattata, sending
Rattata flying now. Rattata was still capable of battle.
"Try a Tail Whip", Yelled Joey. Rattata wagged it's tail at Caterpie, lowering Caterpie's
defense.
"Tackle it again, Caterpie", yelled Silver. Caterpie tackled it, and now Rattata was
truly out!
"Great job Caterpie", said Silver, checking his pokedex for a level change. Caterpie had
grown to level 7. It was then that Caterpie started to glow.
"Caterpie, what's going on?!", Silver yelled.
"It's just evolving", said Joey, "Some pokemon evolve at different experience levels and
then they grow stronger". Silver watched in amazement as Caterpie transformed right before
his eyes. Caterpie had evolved into a Pokemon with a hard shell. "Silver checked his
pokedex and saw that Caterpie had evolved into Metapod and learned Harden.
"Wow, now I have a Metapod!", said Silver.
"Metapod", it said.
"You are a great trainer, let's swap pokegear phone numbers so I can call you for a
rematch!", Joey said.
"Sure", Silver said as he pressed a lot of buttons on his pokegear to store Joey's number.
Silver then continued his quest to Violet City, knowing that trainer battles and
evolutions were just the beggining.
