"Your coming with me little boy," the police man said. Then he grabbed my arm and dragged me away.

"Help," I cried, flailing wildly and making a scene.

An old woman saw us, she yelled at him to drop me, but the officer gave her a smirk. She got angry, throwing a Pokéball and releasing Staryu. The Pokémon cried its name aloud.

"Now lets make a deal if you beat my Houdour in a battle with your Staryu then I'll give you the boy," offered the policeman.

Spike came thundering at the police officer.

"Houndour use pound." It knocked Spike back.

"Well enough of that I'll referee the battle, you can take my place" said the old lady. "Let the battle begin."

"Houdour use ember attack!" Then Spike jumped high up in the air away from the ember and dived down at Houdour using quick attack. Houdour didn't have enough time to react and was hit directly but managed to get up.

"Now Houndour use faint attack." Spike countered it using his own faint attack. Then there was a big collision. Sand flashed everywhere and now nobody could see a thing. Houndour was hurt. Spike used moonlight to heal himself. That made a clearing in the sand for about two seconds just enough time for Houdour to attack with ember. Spike couldn't see it coming and got hit directly, causing a burn.

Flames were surrounding Spike's body. Spike was crying in pain. Spike knew he had to end this battle right away, so he used his signature attack dark pulse. Dark energy flew out of him and surrounded the whole battlefield. It went towards Houdour and knocked him out.

After the battle Spike walked straight out of the sand. The police officer looked at Spike in disbelief. Then the old lady had her Staryu use rapid spin to clear the sand away. The police officer dropped me and went to comfort his Houdour. Then Spike and I quickly followed the old lady to her house.

When we got there she seated us to a table and made us nice rib steak for dinner. She asked us every question she could think of and we answered every one of them. Then she asked us if we'd like to live with her. I didn't know what to say so I told her I'd think it over during the night. Then she told us if we lived with her that we would have to move with her to Mossdeep City in Hoenn. She told us that she was getting ready to retire and that she was a gym leader named Misty. Cool I thought, changing my mind about battling with Pokemon. She showed us to where we would sleeping tonight and shut the door
to give us our alone time.

Spike and I talked about the matter of living with her and decided that we would live with her on one condition. And that condition would be if she would taught us how to Pokémon battle. While we were talking we both drifted asleep.

In the morning I was awoken Spike and I were awoken by "Good morning children." It was Misty.

"Good morning Spike and I said." She looked shocked at Spike, but I was getting used to that by now – it's not everyday you meet a talking Pokémon.

While we were eating I told Misty our plans to live with her, and she was okay with teaching us to battle. She told us that she would start our lessons once we got situated in Mossdeep City. We helped her all day getting all of her furniture ready to be shipped to our new house in Mossdeep City. Tomorrow will be the big day when we move. I can't wait!
