My first pokemon was given to me by my grandfather when I was just a little kid. About 10 years ago and I am now 16½ . My pokemon and best friend is charmander. His nickname is coals. We practice at home and just hangout all the time. We have not been in an actual Poke battle. Coals never stays in his Poke ball unless he knows that he has to. He really doesn't like it in there. It was dark and tight. I know because he pulled me in there somehow. So I made a fireproof house like, in my room for him. We were on our way to have our first poke battle. We were scared not knowing what to expect. I turned to coals and said,
"It'll be ok, we've practiced so much that no one will come between us."
He looked up and smiled. I could tell he knew we were ready. While walking down the dirt path we heard something in the woods run by us. Then out of the woods jumped rattata. Coals was frightened but he was ready to go. I knew it was time to battle. Coals got ready to attack.
"Ok coals lets use a tackle attack and quickly hit the rattata." I said
But rattata was ready for it and quickly dodged it. Rattata was getting ready to attack. I noticed it look like it was going to dive at Coals and try to bite him.
"Coals use agility, and watch out for a bite attack." I Yelled
I quickly yelled "Now Coals use scratch!"
With the agility, scratch landed right on rattata's back throwing it to the side and hurt badly.
Coals was so happy. I didn't have any poke balls to try to catch the rattata and I didn't want to knock it out so we just let it run back into the woods. Down the path just a little bit more was town so we scurried on over. We got to town being very excited and eager to continue our quest. First I needed some poke balls and something to eat. Coals needed sleep and some food. His first battle got him real tired and very confident.
"With more practice, we will be the best Coals" I said to Coals with a big smile.
He replied with a nice big "Charrrrrr!" As he started to fall asleep. I Returned him to the pokeball, but I knew he would understand. So I went into the poke mart and got some poke balls and some food for Coals to eat when he wakes up. I then went across the street to a big diner and got a big dinner. I talked to one of the waitresses and she said a new trainer just like me was in not to long ago. I was hoping I would be abe to see who it was in the morning. Not wanting to walk during the evening hours I checked into a local pokemon trainers hotel. Free for all pokemon trainers.
