Luis: "Alright! We made it out!"

After searching for the exit for about 5 minutes, we finally get out of the Pokemon League. Some other people had the same idea and are also outside, training against a friend.

Rylee: "Phew- Thank god." We all walk out to the sun and send out our Pokemon. All of them.

Our Teams consist of:

Ethan:
Vee, the Eevee.
Ben, the Blastoise.
Flora, the Vileplume.
Pixy, the Ninetales.
Max, the Mr. Mime.
Scar, the Scyther.

Luis:
Pikachu,
Butterfree,
Charizard,
Gyarados,
Pidgeot,
Onix.

Rylee:
Jigglypuff,
Venusaur,
Nidoqueen,
Skitty,
Rapides.

"Oh. When did you get a Rapidash?"

Rylee: "When I went back to Fuchsia City, I went to a very long road that connects Celadon and Fuchsia." Luis: "Oh, Cool. But aren't they really far apart?" Rylee nods.

Rylee: "Yeah. But I didn't venture far. I was just searching for any pokemon really." Rapisdash neighs and Rylee pets it, her hand going through the flames.

"What?!" Luis: "How are you doing that...?" Rylee looks at us confused. Rylee: "Oh. Well that... I am not too sure actually." Vee then hops off and lands onto Rapidash, avoiding the flames.

Rapidash looks at it and Vee wags her Tail excitedly. "Alright- Vee, get off." I go to grab Vee but she moves to the Flames and the fire burns me.

"God darn it... Vee, come on- I already am hurt. Give me a break, will you?" Vee chuckles mischievously and then smiles, hopping onto my shoulder.

"Thank you."

Suddenly someone walks infront of us and stops. His red hair, catches our attention and we turn to him.

???: "You."

Suddenly, the guy points at me. "Me?" He nods. ???: "Yes. You and me, battle." Me and Vee glance at eachother. Vee then shrugs.

"I don't see wynaut."

???: "Did you just say Wynaut instead of Why n--" "Yes. I did."

???: "--... Ok."

Rylee: "What's the difference?" Me and Luis look at eachother then Rylee. Luis: "Just... forget it."

"So, uh, what's your name?" I turn to the red haired guy and he scoffs before looking up at me and makung eye contact..

???: "The names..."

Silver: "Silver."

...

"So like the color?" Silver: "Just Shut up, will you?!"

"Ok, ok, gosh, you don't have to be so rude-" I walk back and I return my Pokemon.

Wait- Shit! He saw my pokemon did he? Is that why he wanted to battle? So he could have some type of advantage against me?

Well then...

Time to beat him! Even if he has an advantage!

"Flora, go!" I send Flora out and she stares Unnervingly at Silver. Unfazed, Silver throws a pokeball out..

Silver: "Go, Sneasel." Sneasel comes out and smiles, sheathing its Claws.

Drat!

I never seen that pokemon before!! Is it one of those Johto Pokemon?!

I pull my Pokedex out and try to read it, but the Pokedex doesn't identify it.

"So much for Proffesor Oak's Trusty Pokedex... Now I don't even know its type."

Silver: "Use Beat Up."

"Flora, dodge it!"

Flora and I wince as Sneasel and Silver's Pokemon come out. Every single one of them.

His Pokemon are:
Sneasel,
Golbat,
Kadabra,
A... Magnemite but with 3 heads-
Haunter,
And some Blue Alligator Pokemon.

"Huh?"

They then all attack and strike Flora, dealing tons of damage. They then go into their Pokeballs and they roll to Silver, a smile on his face.

Flora and I stand side-by-side.

"Drat... alright! Acid- Make sure it can't get close!" Flora then jumps up and sends a huge glob of Acid spraying onto the floor, making it impossibly for Sneasel to move without taking Damage.

"Ah-ha! How do you like my trick?!" Silver scoffs.

Silver: "Pathetic- Icy Wind."

Sneasel then uses Icy Wind and easily freezes the Acid. It runs forward and continues, heading for Flora.

"Now, thats where you messed up- Sunny Day!" Silver and Sneasel wince and Flora chants a Sunny Day, the sun blazing.

The Frozen acid then melts and Sneasel falls into it, taking Damage and getting its Sp. Defense lowered by 4 Stages. It gets up and nonetheless, continues.

Silver: "Fine then- Use Feint Attack!" "Use Attract!"

What the heck is Feint Attack?!

Before Flora can use Attract, Sneasel grabs Flora and bashes into it face, making sure Attract would fail as it flinches.

Flora's Sp. Defense lowers by 2 Stages as she lands in the Acid.

"Flora, Solar Beam!" Silver: "Icy Wind!"

Sneasel deals damage to Flora and she shrieks due to the cold. She charges up Solar Beam and sends it forward, but she misses terribly.

Did Acid get in her eyes?!

Luckily she is a poison type so she won't ruin her eyes...

But still!

Sneasel then use Feint Attack again and slams her into the ground, it's Claws raised up for one more attack.

"Solar Beam!"

Silver: "Metal Claw!"

Sneasel then strikes Flora before she can fire Solar Beam, causing Flora to faint. Sneasel then glows, it's Attack Stat raising by one stage.

Silver: "Tsk- Pathetic. I thought you would be better than that."

I clinch my fist and return Flora. "Return Flora. You did good out there."

I look up at Silver who looks at me, a bit annoyed.

How is he so strong though...?

He has to be on a whole different level- Destroying Flora before she can even get started!?

Damn it-
