Episode 3: Akira and the Eevee

After many days of bickering and learning Ellery and Aito have made it to celadon city renowned for its famous grass type gym.

"Now how are you doing with that journal I got for you?" Ellery grabbed the book from Aito's hand prying it of him. "Let's read been walking through route eight and Ellery's been a drag." Ellery looked up fuming while Aito stood there with a sheepish grin. "Okay let's just brush over this for now; I think it's time for you to talk with someone how about that person over there." Ellery pointed to a boy his age that had a small Eevee with him. They were sat on a small bench surrounded by dirty bricks and other people.

Aito cautiously walked up to him waving in a way that to any bystander would just look like two friends meeting up. "Hello I'm Aito what's your name?" He smiled brightly inviting the boy to talk. "Um I don't know you wait are you a trainer like me? Do you want a Pokémon battle is that it." At this point Ellery realised he needed to break this up before Aito said anything stupid. He casually slid over to Aito pretending to be shocked. "Oh my gosh Aito I've been looking for you don't run away again all right." He grabbed the collar of Aito's shirt pulling him away from the boy and his Eevee who seemed disappointed.

"Ellery I thought you wanted me to talk. Should I not talk?" Aito himself seemed angry and Ellery could tell for he had started squirming around. "Stop your embarrassing yourself okay." As he dragged Aito into some nearby bushes Aito transformed into a Ryhorn threatening to trample Ellery. "He's a ditto." The boy from earlier had followed after them! "It's not what you think." Ellery blurted out rubbing his neck. "No, I think what just happened was you know a talking ditto with normal eyes. You also owe me a Pokémon battle if you don't want me to catch this Pokémon." This boy drives a hard bargain Ellery thought.

"I don't battle, in fact your get ups kind of sad enslaving a Pokémon and then making it fight." The boys frown dug deeper into Ellery than expected. "Well if you watch me fight against Erika for the rainbow badge maybe your mind could be changed." Ellery refused almost immediately but the boy picked Ellery up and dragged him to the Celadon city gym. After all the protesting they finally made it to the gym.

Its greenhouse aesthetic and look was beautiful. As Ellery ventured through he stared at the vibrant lush greenery and plants around him. Ignoring the battling going on he stared immersed and mesmerised. "Erika I challenge you to a Pokémon battle. So I Akira can win the rainbow badge!" Erika nodded whipping out her first Pokémon Victreebel. "Victreebel use Razor leaf." The Victreebel spurted out leafs aimed towards Akira's Eevee. Eevee was struck off guard being slashed she cried out in pain. "Eevee use bite." Eevee jumped towards Victreebel but it dodged just by a couple of inches. "Victreebel use sleep powder." The spores from Victreebel sent Eevee falling to the ground in a deep nap. "Eevee is unable to battle." Ellery looked shocked it'd already ended. As Akira walked back to Ellery he couldn't hide the look of humiliation on his face.

"Look I'm pretty sure trainers should have maybe more than one Pokémon and I'm pretty sure even I could beat you." Akira's face had suddenly turned into a smile to hide any pain. Aito was carrying a sleeping Eevee out with him and mouthed a silent sorry to Akira. "Hmm is that a hint to say you accept my challenge." Ellery sighed and shook his head Akira really didn't get that he hated Pokémon battles. "No well I guess I'm going to have to stick with you until you do." Akira laughed and smiled as the three of them walked away into the distance.
