Chapter five
Two sailors raised the plank for a large blue boat that was sitting at a dock north from Pallet Town. On the front bow of the ship a battle was taking place between Pinto and a young boy.
"Sentret, use ice beam!" said Pinto.
"Pidgey, use steel wing!" said the boy.
Sentret opened its mouth and fired a small beam of ice towards Pidgey. Pidgey's wings glowed white. Pidgey threw forward one of its wings and knocked away the beam of ice.
"Sentret, use quick attack!" said Pinto.
"Pidgey, you use quick attack too!" said the boy.
Both Pokémon charged forward and rammed into each other. Sentret and Pidgey both flew backwards from the force of the collision. Both Pokémon fainted.
"It looks like a double knockout," said the boy.
The boy pointed a Pokéball at Pidgey.
"Pidgey, return!" said the boy.
A red light came out of the Pokéball, covered Pidgey and sucked him inside. Pinto pointed a Pokéball at Sentret.
"Sentret, return!" said Pinto.
A red light came out of the Pokéball, covered Sentret and sucked him inside. Pinto looked at Sentret's Pokéball and smiled.
"Good job Sentret," said Pinto.
"It's not over yet!" said the boy.
The boy took another Pokéball off of his belt and threw it into the air.
"Go Nidoran!" said the boy.
A small rabbit with a pink body, two big ears, some spikes on its back and a small horn on its head materialized from the Pokéball. Pinto put Sentret's Pokéball back onto his belt then he took out his Pokédex and pointed it at the rabbit.
"Nidoran the poison pin Pokémon, It scans its surroundings by raising its ears out of the grass. Its toxic horn is for protection," said the Pokédex.
Pinto put away his Pokédex then looked at Cyndaquil.
"Cyndaquil, you're up next," said Pinto.
Cyndaquil jumped off of his shoulder.
"Cyndaquil, use tackle!" said Pinto.
"Nidoran, use double kick!" said the boy.
Cyndaquil ran towards Nidoran. Nidoran ran towards Cyndaquil and then lifted his feet forward and kicked Cyndaquil twice in the face. He got knocked back a bit and fell down but got to his feet.
"Cyndaquil, use smokescreen and then follow up with blaze kick!" said Pinto.
Cyndaquil opened his mouth and a lot of thick black smoke poured out and surrounded both Pokémon.
"Nidoran, find it and use poi…!" said the boy.
Before the boy could finish his sentence Cyndaquil had created flames around its foot and had kicked Nidoran into the air. He fell to the ground and fainted.
"No Nidoran!" said the boy.
The boy pointed a Pokéball at Nidoran.
"Nidoran, return!" said the boy.
A red light came out of the Pokéball, covered Nidoran and sucked him inside. The boy put Nidoran's Pokéball back onto his belt and took off another one. He threw the Pokéball into the air.
"Go Treecko!" said the boy.
A small gecko with a green body, red stomach, two big yellow lizard-like eyes and a big green leaf-like tail materialized from the Pokéball. Pinto took out his Pokédex and pointed it at the Pokémon.
"Treecko the wood gecko Pokémon, It quickly scales even vertical walls. It senses humidity with its tail to predict the next day's weather," said the Pokédex.
Pinto put away his Pokédex.
"Treecko, use pound!" said the boy.
"Cyndaquil, use ember!" said Pinto.
Treecko charged at Cyndaquil. Cyndaquil opened its mouth and fired out a spray of fire towards Treecko. He jumped over the fires and swung his tail forward. His tail smashed into the side of Cyndaquil's head. Cyndaquil fell over and fainted. Pinto pointed a Pokéball at Cyndaquil.
"Cyndaquil, return!" said Pinto.
A red light came out of the Pokéball, covered Cyndaquil and sucked him inside. Pinto looked at Cyndaquil's Pokéball and smiled.
"You were incredible Cyndaquil," said Pinto.
Pinto put Cyndaquil's Pokéball back onto his belt took off his remaining one and threw it into the air.
"Go Weedle!" said Pinto.
Weedle materialized out of the Pokéball. The boy smirked when he saw Weedle.
"This battle is as good as mine," said the boy.
Pinto grinned.
"We'll see about that," said Pinto.
Weedle looked up at Pinto.
"Wee dle wee dle," said Weedle. (Guess I have to listen to him now that he's caught me)
"Weedle, use poison sting!" said Pinto.
"Treecko, use pound!" said the boy.
Weedle fired off a bunch of purple darts towards Treecko. Treecko jumped out of the way and charged towards Weedle.
"Weedle, use string shot!" said Pinto.
"Oh no," said the boy.
Weedle launched a sticky white thread towards Treecko. The thread hit Treecko's foot and stuck him to the ground. He tried to get his foot out but couldn't.
"Weedle, finish with poison sting!" said Pinto.
Weedle fired off a bunch of purple darts towards Treecko. The darts hit him. He fell over and fainted.
"How could we lose to a Weedle?" asked the boy in a whiny voice.
"You lost because you underestimated your opponent," answered Pinto.
The boy glared at Pinto and then pointed a Pokéball at Treecko.
"Treecko, return!" said the boy.
A red light came out of the Pokéball, covered Treecko and sucked him inside. The boy put the Pokéball onto his belt turned around and walked away. Pinto walked over to Weedle and bent down.
"Good work Weedle," said Pinto.
Weedle looked up at Pinto.
"Dle wee," said Weedle. (I feel funny)
Weedle started to glow.
