"Machoke, rush in with a karate chop!"

The superpower pokemon rushed towards its weakened opponent, hands upward in a chopping motion.

"Snorlax, Double-Edge!"

As Snorlax reached out for it, Blue screamed out:

"Dodge and now use low kick!"

Despite its weight, Snorlax flew back, Machoke's foot confidently stayed frozen where it had slammed into the pokemon.

"Snorlax, use..."

Red searched his mind for a move to use, but Snorlax fidgeted in place. It looked like Snorlax had flinched!

"Now's my chance! Machoke, karate chop!"

As the pokemon's hands closed down on Snorlax, it lay still in place with circles around its eyes.

Snorlax had fainted.

As he called his loyal pokemon back, he glanced for a moment at the second pokeball in hand.

All he had left to his reputation was a bulbasaur. One that may have been weaker than Snorlax, but unbeknownst to him, had grown immensely under his command. As it broke out of its comfortable abode, it turned back to Red then confidently towards its opponent.

"Let's settle this, Bulbasaur. Together."

The green toad nodded as Red's smirk grew ever so slightly.
