Hmm...
Well, to he honest, I've actually never done a text-based Pokemon battle yet, so it would be an interesting experience for both of us. I'd actually prefer a double battle, because with only one caught Pokemon, we can't do much on our own.
Or, an even better option, we both get attacked by a bunch of wild Pokemon. It would give us a good battling scene, an interaction between the two of us, an alliance kind of thing, and solve the lack of Pokemon!
