Rattled by a battle!

There you go, cheesy title with exclamation point and point and everything. Starting to feel like a proper pokemon story, isn't it? Try living it.....

Me and Ragnarok met up the next day, we had a lot to talk about.

'So, how did taking Charmander home go?'
'I managed to keep him hidden from the family by putting him in his pokéball, but once he was in my room I had to get him out to look at, he's so cool! We had to keep quiet though- but look he knows a trick! Charmander! Go!'

He threw the pokéball and released his new friend from another dimension. Charmander looked round, his mouth slightly open in a smile, and waved at me before running up to Ragnarok.

'Charmander, what do we have to be at home?'

Charmander closed his mouth and put a tiny claw to his lips. 'chhhhhhhhh' he whispered. Then giggled, hugged Ragnarok's leg, and ran over to Rattata, who was already out, and started playing.

'The cartoon never actually advises how to deal with the fact that his tail is on FIRE.'

Patting a smouldering trouser leg, he looked over at me. 'How was Rattata?'

'Snuck in inside my bag, confined to my room, may have gone downstairs at night and eaten all our strawberries. We certainly ran out suddenly.'

'How's the egg?'

'Nothing's happening at the moment. I gave it to Jonny to look after for now.'

'Wow. You told him everything? How'd he take it?'

'Fellow Pokéfan like him? Delighted of course'

'Ha, cool. What do we do now?'

We looked at our pokémon. Charmander was spinning like a top, and Rattata was jumping over his tail as it swung round.

'Want a battle?'

'Oh yeah!'

We called our partners over and took our places on opposite sides of the room.

'Shame we don't have someone to do the whole 'Both trainers will use one pokémon each' thing'

'T, we only HAVE one each'

'Still...'

'Go! Charmander!'
'Do your best Rattata!'
'Char!'
'Ra! Rattata!
'Scratch!'
'Use Tackle Rattata!'

Rattata shot forwards, almost dodging the attack and getting a galncing blow on the cheek as he rammed into Charmander, who staggered backwards.

'Now Tail Whip!'
'Scratch again!'

Charmander's claws scored a direct hit this time, and Rattata let out a squeak as he leapt back.

'Tail whip again!'

Rattata ran around behind his friend and struck his back with the swirl of his tail. Charmander's arms pinwheeled as he lost his balance, but managed to turn to face the mouse.

'Growl!'
'FLAME WHEEL!'

Charmander gritted his teeth and let out a (Rather cute) scary, but gasped as Rattata took off, a disk of fire bursting into being around him. He streaked across the room, and hit Charmander squarely in the chest. Charmander responded with another scratch, so Rattata leapt back again.

'Rattata knows Flame Wheel? Cool. Ha, that means your normal type knows a fire move before my fire type!'

'Haha, yeah. TACKLE!'
'Scratch again!'

Rattata ducked under Charmander's arm to dodge, but his sped sent him tackling into a small dog that had scrambled in through the door from outside. Seeing us, and reeling from Rattata's blow, it let out a panicked 'Eeeeeeeee!' and ran outside again. We heard two voices yell 'There it is!'
'Get it!'

Our Pokémon stopped battling, and me and Rag stared at each other.

'Was that?'
'An Eevee?'

We rushed outside, and began to pursue the men.

This is getting long, so I'll do a new one to explain what happened next. Bye for now!
