Ruby was walking around with her Pokemon out. Her current team was Charmeleon, Bellsprout, Kakuna, Pidgey, Pikachu, and Rattata.
Ruby was then stopped by a trainer saying, "Hey, you got some strong looking Pokemon, wanna battle?"
Ruby looked at her Pokemon, and they nodded.
The opposing Trainer then sent out his Venomoth.
"Who's that Pokemon?" asked Ruby, getting her Pokedex out.
Venomoth, the Poison Moth Pokemon. A Bug/Poison Type, and the evolved form of Venonat. The powdery scales on its wings are hard to remove from skin. They also contain poison that leaks out on contact. Venomoth is nocturnal—it is a Pokémon that only becomes active at night. Its favorite prey are small insects that gather around streetlights, attracted by the light in the darkness.
"Oh," said Ruby, "that's interesting. I think Weiss said her sister is afraid of bugs. I think this might scare her. Anyway, Charmeleon, I choose you!"
"CHAR!"
"Venomoth, use Poison Powder!"
"Charmeleon, dodged it!"
Charmeleon moved out of the way, and Ruby said, "Use Flamethrower!"
Charmeleon breathed a stream of fire, and Venomoth was hit hard.
"Now, use roar!"
Charmeleon roared, and Venomoth was sent back to the Poke Ball, and out came a brown Bug Pokemon with giant pincer horns.
"PINSIR!"
"Wow, that's cool," said Ruby, pulling out her Pokedex.
Pinscir, the Stag Beetle Pokemon. Pinsir is astoundingly strong. It can grip a foe weighing twice its weight in its horns and easily lift it. This Pokémon's movements turn sluggish in cold places. It grips prey with its pincers until the prey is torn in half. What it can't tear, it tosses far. If it fails to crush the victim in its pincers, it will swing it around and toss it hard.
"Wow, it does that in the wild?" asked Ruby, "Almost as savage as Grimm."
"What?"
"Nothing," said Ruby, "Charmeleon, use Slash!"
"Pinsir, Seismic Toss Attack!"
Pinsir grabbed Charmeleon with it's pincers, and jumped up in the air, and was about to slam down, when Charmeleon slashed at it's eyes, blinding it for a minute.
"Quick, use Flamethrower!"
Charmeleon did, and as he breathed out, it came out as a 大 shape, and scored a direct hit on Pinsir.
Pinsir fainted.
"Woah, what was that?" asked Ruby.
The Pokedex then said, Charmeleon has learned Fire Blast.
"Wow, new move buddy!"
"Good job Pinsir, return. RETURN TO THE BATTLE VENOMOTH!"
"Venomoth!"
Ruby then said, "Charmeleon, you wanna keep going?"
Charmeleon nodded, and Ruby said, "Okay, do another Fire Blast!"
Charmeleon did, only for it to come out as a Fire Burp.
"Um, okay, we'll need to work on that a bit," said Ruby, "Use Dragon Rage!"
Charmeleon then launched a purple ball of energy, and hit directly on Venomoth.
"Use Toxic!"
Venomoth did, and Charmeleon was poisoned.
"Oh no, Charmeleon!"
"Pika!"
"Bellsprout!"
"Kakuna!"
"Pidgey!"
"Rata!"
"Charmeleon, return!"
Charmeleon was brought back to the Pokeball, and Ruby said, "Pidgey, I choose you!"
Pidgey then came forth, and the Trainer said, "Venomoth, use Bug Bite!"
"Dodge and use Steel Wing!"
Pidgey then flew up, and behind Venomoth, and rammed Steel Wing into Venomoth, making it faint.
"Nice battle!" said the Trainer, "You may pass."
Just then, Pidgey started to glow.
Ruby watched, and saw Pidgey change form.
"Pidgeotto!"
"Pidgey evolved!" said Ruby, looking at her new entry.
Pidgeotto, the Bird Pokemon. A Flying/Normal Type, and the evolved form of Pidgey. Pidgeotto claims a large area as its own territory. This Pokémon flies around, patrolling its living space. If its territory is violated, it shows no mercy in thoroughly punishing the foe with its sharp claws.
"Congratulations Pidgeotto!" said Ruby, hugging the bird.
Pidgeotto returned the affections.
Across the bridge, Ruby battled, and helped get her Pokemon get stronger!
Ruby made it to the end, and she was congratulated by a trainer.
"Congratulations! You have beaten the five trainers! You sure are strong."
"Thanks. I've actually only just started this journey a few days ago, and I beat two gym leaders."
"Oh, that's impressive. Can I ask you something?"
"Sure."
"Would you like to join Team Rocket?"
"What? No!"
"Please?"
"No!"
"Come on, give it a try!"
"I've already encountered those creeps, and I'm never joining them!"
The trainer sighed, "You try to be nice."
He then revealed himself as a Team Rocket Grunt.
Ruby is challenged by Team Rocket Grunt!
Team Rocket Grunt sent out Ekans!
"Ekans!"
"Go Pidgeotto!"
"PIDGEOT!"
"Use Air Cutter!"
Pidgeotto hit hard, and the grunt said, "Ekans, use bite!"
Ekans bit Pidgeotto, and the later was failing about.
"Pidgeotto, Peck!"
Pidgeotto then grabbed Ekans, and stared right into it's eyes. It then pecked the snake with no mercy until it fainted!
"Ekans!"
"Come back Ekans, GO ZUBAT!"
"Pidgeotto, return! GO PIKACHU!"
"Pikachu!"
"Zubat, use screech!"
Zubat then screeched, and Pikachu covered his ears.
"PIKACHU, USE THUNDER BOLT!"
Pikachu, while covering his ears, shocked Zubat, and Zubat stopped the screeching.
"Now, use Iron Tail!"
Pikachu then jumped up, and slammed down on Zubat, and Zubat fainted!
Ruby defeated Team Rocket Grunt!
"Argh, you are good!"
Ruby received 400 Poke Dollars!
"With your skill, you'd become a Team Rocket Leader. Come on, think about it."
Ruby then pulled out Crescent Rose, and said, "FOR THE LAST TIME, NO! NOW GET OUT OF HERE!"
"Okay," whimpered the grunt, and he ran off.
Ruby then continued her journey. It wasn't eventful, other than battling trainers.
When she arrived in the next town, she healed her Pokemon, and brought out Charmeleon.
Charmeleon was feeling a bit bummed out since he got poisoned.
Ruby looked at Charmeleon, and said, "Hey, it's okay buddy. I don't care if you were poisoned and couldn't battle anymore. Your safety and health is more important to me than any battle we do."
Charmeleon then smiled, and hugged Ruby.
"I love you too buddy."
"Now, what say we focus on Fire Blast?"
Charmeleon nodded, and the two walked to an area to get ready.
