Chapter Two: Nari Battles A Squirtle

Right after Jukla left, another trainer entered the lab.

"Professor Maple," he asked. "I'm here. Where's my Pokemon?"

"It's right here, Max," Professor Maple answered, handing him the PokeBall containing a Bubblion.

Maxwell Birch was another ten-year-old boy who was getting his first Pokemon today. Ever since he was eight, he had traveled around with real Pokemon trainers named Ashton Ketchum and May Birch. But today, he was a Pokemon trainer himself.

"Hey, Max," asked Nari. "Do you wanna battle me?"

"Later. Once we have a full team of Pokemon."

And Max went off, closely followed by Nari, who went down to the PokeMart to purchase some PokeBalls. Once he was done that, he went into the grassy areas around the outskirts of Kollosen to catch some Pokemon. He walked around and finally, he saw what looked like a turtle with a blue body in the distance. He ran up to it, then recognizing it as a Squirtle.

"Hi, little buddy. Hey, how about a Pokemon battle."

"Squirtle," responded the Squirtle. He squirted Nari.

Nari chuckled. "I'll take that as a yes. Warburn, I choose you!"

The orange Pokemon immediately left his PokeBall.

"Okay, Warburn, this is a water-type Pokemon, so if we want to defeat it, we need to use a non-fire-type attack. So use Sonic Boom!"

"Warburn!" Warburn let out the Sonic Boom attack, which hit Squirtle hard, nearly knocking it out.

"Squirtle!" Squirtle spit a huge line of water from his mouth. It hit Warburn directly. Warburn fell to the ground.

"A Water Gun attack," said Nari to himself. "Warburn, are you all right?"

"Warburn."

"Go back into your PokeBall so you can rest. Now, Squirtle, taste my PokeBall!" Nari threw a PokeBall at the Squirtle.

"Squirtle…" The PokeBall hit Squirtle and sucked it inside. The Squirtle was so weak, the PokeBall didn't even budge. Squirtle was now Nari's Pokemon.
