This is the second chapter, don't worry, I'll make longer chapters in the future. :)

"FRANCIS! What do you think you're doing?!" A familiar voice yelled at him. Francis looked behind and he saw Prof. Oak. "Oh, Professor! I was looking for you.", Francis said to him. "You shouldn't go out of town when you have no Pokémon! Follow me to my lab.

When they are in the lab, Mathan was there, waiting patiently. "Gramps! You made me wait for like an hour!". " I am just finding Francis because he wants to become a trainer", the professor said. "Isn't it obvious?!", Mathan is upset as he say everything to the professor. "Never mind, anyways, you are here to go on a journey, but you can't go without a Pokémon, so I have this 3 starter Pokémon that you are free to choose.", the professor said.

Prof. Oak showed the 2 boys the three Pokémon. "Here are the starters that you can choose."

"Here is the grass Pokémon, Bulbasaur, he is the most easiest Pokémon to train out of these starters and it's great for beginners", the professor said as he show Bulbasaur. "Brrrarr!", Bulbasaur's cry has been heard.

" Next is Charmander, a fire-type Pokémon, he is the hardest Pokémon to train.", the professor said. "Rarr rarr!", the fire Pokémon said.

"Finally, the water-type, Squirtle, he is the average out of the three. It's recommended to intermediate players", the professor said. "Squrrree!", the water-type said.

"Wow! They are all awesome!" Francis said. Mathan is curious of what Pokémon he will choose. "Francis, you can ogo pick first, and you'll pick the worst one!", Mathan said. "Shut up! Okay, which Pokémon.. Okay! I pick Charmander because I also like fire since I was a child, so I'll pick this Pokémon!", Francis said to them. Charmander jumped and hugged Francis because the fire Pokémon had been picked.

"So, Mathan, what Pokémon will you choose? Will it be the the same reason as Francis?", asked the Professor. Mathan laughed so hard, "You think I'll pick a Pokémon for such a girlish reason? If Francis chose fire, then I'll choose water!", Mathan chose Squirtle and Squirtle became happy because it's been a long time that Squirtle is not chosen by any trainer.

"You can nickname your starters if you want to.", the professor said. "Hmmm... I'll think about it.", said Francis.

"Francis, why don't we have our first battle!" Mathan said. "Oh, okay!" Francis accepted. "You will battle properly, no cheating.", the professor warned. "Charmander's moves are scratch and growl, and Squirtle's moves are tackle and tail whip. Use your moves wisely.", Professor Oak taught them. "Alright, let the battle begin!"

*R/B/G battle music*

"Take the first move Francis.", Mathan said.
"Alright, Charmander, use growl!", Francis ordered Charmander. The fire Pokémon use a loud roar to Squirtle.

"That didn't do nothing?!"

"Now Squirtle, use Tail Whip! (Francis didn't know that status moves can make the opponent's Pokémon to lower stats)"

Squirtle ran to Charmander and spun a whip with his tail, but it didn't damage the Pokémon.

"Charmander, use scratch!"

"Squirtle use Tackle!"

The two Pokémon clashed and they have gained the same damage.

"Alright, Squirtle, use Tail Whip!"

Francis didn't know what to do, so he just ordered Charmander to use scratch, but Mathan keeps using Tail Whip for nothing. But Mathan has a plan...

"Now Squirtle, for the finale, use tackle!"

Squirtle ran and hit Charmander with a powerful tackle, and Francis, unexpectedly, lost his first battle.

"CHARMANDER!", Francis just saw Charmander fainted, leaving our hero, sad.

"WOOOOOWWWW! You're so weak! I've never expected that to happen! HAHAHA! What now, Francis?" Mathan boastfully said.

"I... Lost... But... How?", Francis leaving him confused because he lost.

"You two did a good battle, but you still have things to do." Prof. Oak said. "Okay, I'll be going now, thanks gramps! Smell ya' later!", Mathan left the lab to start his journey.

"How did I lost? We were at the same level?" Francis said.

Okay, that was pretty long, never expected that, anyways, I'll start making chapter 3 and 4 soon! Hope you leave a good review, and you are free to give some feedback, suggestions, and errors because I'm still a beginner. So, thanks for reading this chapter! PEACE!
