Chapter 27: Sorry, I'm a Ledian
It was time to go north to Ecruteak City.
Here I was able to witness a Pokémon battle. On one side there was a young boy and his Pokémon.
Vulpix
125
Fire Type
Fox Pokémon
2'00" (0.6 m)
21.8 lbs (9.9 kg)
If it is attacked by an enemy that is stronger than itself, it feigns injury to fool the enemy and escapes.
On the other side was a girl and her Pokémon.
Ledian
031
Bug/Flying Type
Five Star Pokémon.
4'07" (1.4 m)
78.5 lbs (35.6 kg)
The star patterns on its back grow larger or smaller depending on the number of stars in the night sky.
Evolved from Ledyba at Lv 18.
"Vulpix, Ember!" shouted the Boy, as Vulpix flung a small flame at Ledian, hitting it. "Ledian, Comet Punch!" shouted the Girl, as Ledian punched Vulpix multiple times. Vulpix used one more Ember however and Ledian was down.
I congratulated the boy and he thanked me. "I'm Ross and this is my sister Monica. We are known as the battle siblings because we battle each other all the time. Monica's Ledian is stronger but Vulpix has a type advantage. It balances out."
Suddenly, I felt a drop of water on my shoulder. Then another. I was so invested in the battle that I didn't notice the clouds in the sky.
"Oh no, Vulpix hates the rain" said Ross, putting it in its Pokeball.
There was lightning so it was dangerous to go under the tree, so we sort of just made a tent out of my bag. Then I realised that it had a metal keyring of Red (yes, he has a merchandise line), so I took it off and threw it into the bushes.
"Hey, do you think the lightning is actually Raikou?" asked Monica.
I asked who Raikou was.
"You will find out more once you reach Ecruteak City tomorrow" Ross said.
