Part 2
"I wanna be, the very best, that no one ever waaaas dun dun dun! to catch them is my real test, to train them is my cauuuse!" I sung as we walked along a road towards Saffron City.
I had gotten bored of flying after we passed the border between Johto and Kanto, and we were now on foot on route 22 near Viridian City.
"what is that song about pokemon?" Asked Thorn, sounding surprisingly interested.
"It's a song about catching pokemon, training them, going on an adventure of destiny with your best friend pokemon, and teaching me and I teach youuu POKEMONNNN!"
He rolled his eyes at my continuation and Scylla giggled behind him when I heard what sounded to be like someone running on grass heading right towards us. I prepared myself for the hit and dodged out of the way as a Machoke came from nowhere and used what looked to be a tackle. As I landed, he grabbed a boulder and threw it right at me. I could tell he was looking for a fight. Adrenaline rushed through my body like a rare narcotic as I watched the boulder come at me. Like a lightning bolt I dodged at the last second and rushed towards the wild Machoke. It was time to see what I could do. Machoke prepared for his next attack and I accelerated. As he threw a punch at the ground from where I was, I jumped up and tackled him right on his head. He flew back and hit the ground hard.
I was filled with conceit. The fight was mine. I had let my mind wander about that I hadn't noticed he had gotten up and had thrown a punch right at me, and not having enough time to dodge, I took it head on. I flew backwards, rolled around a little bit and slid to a stop. The pain was astonishing! Never before had I taken an actual attack from a pokemon before in my life. I always had Scylla there to protect and fight for me. This is what I get for not considering the consequences of getting too cocky and underestimating the enemy. As I lay there, stunned, the wild Machoke took a hold of me firmly and held me up in the air. It gave out an evil little chuckle and I thought I was done for when I heard Scylla and Thorn cheerleading in the background.
"Get up!" Shouted Scylla. "Keep fighting. Never give up!"
"Yeah, you can do it!" Cried Thorn.
This gave me the energy boost that I needed, and I took in as much air as possible and roared at the wild Machoke under me as loud as I could and with this roar came a powerful Dragon Breath attack. The brilliant orange flame with blue thunder came out beautifully scorching the enemy and paralyzing him. I squirmed out of his grip landing majestically on all fours. The enemy stood there looking like he was about to piss his pants. I smirked and used my Dragon Breath once more at him, and with this, he was KO'd.
Scylla let out a shrill cry of happiness and even though Thorn pretended like it was not that great, he looked like he was about to burst from his hidden excitement. I was happy that my pokemon didn't lend in a hand to let me see how well I did in battle and I was overjoyed at my success. Battling is something new to me and it is something I am going to have to get used to. And with that, me and Thorn climbed on Scylla's back and we were off again.
