Chapter 2: Fire and Grass!

Kain Reeled back in Batters position, body tensed to hurl the ball, "Don't blink, this is my style of releasing Pokemon." He said smirking, confident of his non-chalant coolness.

"I Choose you! SPEAROW!" as he hurled the Pokeball forward and it hit against the ground, velocity reflecting it off as the egg of life opened spewing out blinding light. Char had covered his eyes from the magnificent light.

A Tiny Bird was revealed after the Light dimmed, it had an Orange beak and brown colored fur.

"Wow, that's really cool Kain." Char remarked inspecting the Pokemon.

"Throw your damn Pokemon fore' I slap you nerd." Kain grumbled.

Char glared angry at Kain as he picked Charmander from his belt enlarging his Pokeball as he heard Kain saying something about letting him copy his style, but no one else.

Reeling arm back Char got uncomfortably nervous. This would be the first time he would use, or even see his Pokemon. And He didn't know if he'd be a good battler.

"I Choose you! Charmander!" he shouted as he threw his Pokeball out reflecting off and exploding out the shine of light as it returned to his hand and he put it away.

"Pretty Cool Pokemon, for a nerd! I mean, what kinda name is that for a red lizard with shut eyes?" Kain scoffed.

"Let us get to the fight already huh?" Char said with Boldness he was doubtful of.

"Spearow! Leer!" Kain ordered as the Pokemon floated above and swooped in at Charmander cawing. It zoomed in as Charmander stood there staring, It came close and let out a vicious glare and zoomed upward. Charmander didn't move.

"Charmander! Go at it!" Char ordered as the Pokemon stayed motionless.

"You gotta give it an attack to do. Jeeze, such a nerd." Kain said sighing.

Charmander, Level 5, attacks: Scratch and Growl

"Scratch Charmander! SCRATCH!" he said to the immobile Pokemon.

"My Leer has made it temporarily immovable." Kain smirked, "Spearow! Peck!"

The Bird flew in Pecking Charmander hard in the stomach knocking it back.

Char got on his knees to his Pokemon.

"C'mon get up!" he asked, seeing the Pokemons eyes were still shut.

"Jeeze, that early and I win the first round, what other Pokemon ya got?" Kain asked Bored.

Charmander's eyes crept open seeing a face above him, was it her Mother? Blinking it stood up. Char helping the Pokemon concluded this was the first time Charmander opened her eyes.

"Welcome to the world Charmander! You look awesome!" Char said hugging his Pokemon, that made her tail flame, grow larger.

"Done with the mushy stuff? Go on!" Kain impatiently ordered.

"Charmander! Scratch that Spearow for me, please." Char asked. Charmander ran forward extending claws.

"Chaaaarr!!!" it swiped, Spearow jumping into the air flying away. Charmander flipped around and ran after it. The Spearow ran to the rock that Kain once sat on. The Charmander waddled over to the rock and made whining noises as if it wanted to be helped up by a parent. The Spearow cawed mockingly and flapped its wings at Charmander. Charmander started to cry as the Spearow taunted it.

"C'mon Charmander! Think of something." Char pleaded.

Charmander grew angry and let out a high-pitched growl as it soon spit out flames of its mouth.

Kain and Char gasped in amazement as flames shot out onto the Spearow and he fluttered around screaming violently as the flames danced about it. Kain clenched his hand angrily.

Ember, the first fire skill learnt by Charmander

"Spearow! Dive and attack!" The Spearow, now shoving off the effects of the ember dove down screeching at the Charmander.

"CHARMANDER LOOK OUT, SCRATCH IT!!!" Char shouted from his position on the battlefield.

Charmander looked behind her to see the incoming Spearow. Swooping down Charmander got out of the way hitting the ground.

"Another go at it!" Kain ordered as the Spearow swooped down.

"Charmander grab Spearow when it hits and don't let go!" as the bird flew in Charmander gripped on as the Spearow near took off, then fell down due to added weight, as the two Pokemon wrestled it out biting and scratching.

Although Spearow can fly it must flap it's wings at an extremely high speed to still keep airborne

"Thanks for the Info" Kain muttered from his Pokedex's beeping.

"Return Spearow!" Kain called as he absorbed his Spearow into his Pokeball, leaving Charmander confused with the disappeared Spearow.

"Hmph, won the first round, but the second is soon to come," Kain whispered to himself as he enlarged another Pokeball and threw it forward, "I choose you, Bulbasaur!" he shouted as Pokemon was released on the field and gave a low growl.

Charlie cracked his knuckles confidently.

"All right! Lets own the field, you and me Charmander!" Char taunted with new superiority pointing onward at the Bulbasaur.

"Saawr, Saawr" the Little Pokemon groaned at Charmander.

"Char..char-mandaar…" it replied.

"Bulba!? Saursaur!" it cried.

"Bulba get in there!" Kain ordered, "Give it a tackle!"

Bulbasaur ran at Charmander with increasing speed.

A mysterious seed was planted on its back at its birth. The plant eventually sprouts and grows with this Pokemon

"Charmander, jump and give it an ember!" Char called.

Charmander stood waiting for the moment to strike Bulbasaur, when it neared it jumped into the air flying over Bulbasaur and spat out the flames to Bulbasaur.

"Roll out Bulbasaur!" Kain interrupted.

Bulbasaur rolled dodging the flames as they hit against the ground, the ground soon setting up in fire.

"Charmander EMBER" Char shouted out as the Pokemon spit fire and Bulbasaur dodged burning up the ground, as it soon started to grow with intensity.

"Oh no, Charmander stop!" Char ordered, but it was too late.

Charmander stamped around the battle field shooting flames out of its mouth as if claiming it's own territory, soon it's embers became more then just embers, Charmander was shooting out fully powered fire like a stream.

Flamethrower, a very powerful fire attack, quite possibly the most dangerous fire attack known, can destroy buildings with relative ease

"Charmander please stop!" Char pleaded.

Does not compute, when using it's own fire attacks, Chamander can turn to be intensely set on it's fire, note with caution

"Char, what's wrong with your Pokemon? It's attacking nuts, and it's probably going to burn this whole place down, including the Pokemon!" Kain shouted angrily.

"Call the Police!" Char asked.

"We can't do that, firefighters and police are far from this area, we're doomed!"

Char started to become very nervous and scared, there was no Pokemon that could help this. Before he could finish the thought, a huge stream of water shot down onto the flames and knocked onto Charmander making it collapse and lay weakened. The huge water ran around everywhere covering all the flames.

"Good Job Rayn, you cleaned up after these two stupid boys." A voice complimented.

The two looked up to see a girl with black braided dreads and a green bandana with a tree on it stood at the top of a hill near the two's battleground. With a little blue turtle at the peak hunched over looking at the two.

"I knew you two would cause trouble, lucky me and Rayn came to the rescue." She commented boastfully.

Kain looked up confused and then looked back at Char mouthing 'Teresa' and making Char roll his eyes. Teresa, the local Nature enthusiast, and natural bossy girl, who could grip the fact she was only a year older then Char and Kain.

Sliding down the hill with her Squirtle she smiled at Kain.

"Heeey, Kain." She said looking down at the ground blushing.

"Yeah yeah, what you want Teresa?" Char blurted.

"QUIET YOU, ME AND KAIN ARE TALKING!" She screamed loudly scaring Char into sitting down shivering.

"I was thinking, you and me could go together and fight all the gym leaders. We'd be unstoppable, huh?" she asked still focusing on a blade of grass on the ground.

"Heh, funny, but no. I'm going on my own, maybe you can take nerd-o over here to Viridian, I promised him. Come Bulbasaur." Kain said calmly absorbing his Pokemon, "see you another day Char, maybe our next battle won't need such a petty interruption."

"Uh, okay, Bye Bye KAIN!!! SEE YOU SOON!" Teresa shouted to the already far off Kain.

"Fine, you come little boy." Teresa huffed, totally changing her sense of attitude. Already 6 inches taller then Char, she had a high sense of sense of superiority over him, and an assumed responsibility to mother the two and complained about this fact a lot annoying them. Char absorbed his Pokemon and rubbed the ball whispering to it.

"Come on! We don't have all day, sundown is nearing." She ordered to him.

Running forward up to her not saying a word she started off marching ahead.

"Come come, we've got a long way to go till we get to the next Pokemon center, hurry up Rayn" She shouted as her Pokemon caught up marching along Char.
