Tyson looked towards the bushes holding his breath. His Charmander looked ready to go and was staring at the same spot. All of a sudden a pokemon that looked a lot like a ladybird flew through the undergrowth. The pokemon was mostly red, with five black spots and two antennae. It landed in front of Tyson and looked at him curiously. Tyson brought out his pokedex.
Ledyba; it is so timid that it cannot move unless it is with a swarm.
Tyson glanced at the Ledyba, watching it flutter around Charmander, wondering if this one was just brave or too curious for its own good. "Our first battle," Tyson grinned. "Charmander, Scratch!" he ordered.
"Char!" Charmander screamed, using the massive trunks as momentum to jump and jump and jump until he finally flung himself at Ledyba, Scratching furiously on its stomach.
"Lee!" the Ledyba screamed. "Le," it gritted, rushing at Charmander before it even had a moment to compose itself.
"Growl!" Tyson barked hurriedly.
Opening his mouth, Charmander unleashed an angery Growl, startling Ledyba enough to falter, thus causing its Tackle attack to not do as much damage as it should have done. Nevertheless, Charmander was slammed against a tree.
Tyson grit his teeth. "Charmander, another Scratch!"
"Char," Charmander barked, jumping again at the bug type.
"Byaa!" Ledyba laughed, flying higher up and easily avoiding the branches. It waved mockingly at Charmander.
Charmander hissed angrily and was only too happy to follow high into the trees, claws glowing slightly. "After it!" Tyson ordered excitedly, trying to follow his pokemon's movent's as he jumped from branch to branch.
"Charr!" Charmander screamed, finally launching itself at a surprised Ledyba, getting it good right in the gut.
"Lee," Ledyba grunted, falling closer to the ground as its wings couldn't properly hold itself up while it was hurt. "Lee!" Ledyba screamed, charging for another Tackle attack.
"Dodge!" Tyson ordered.
"Charr," Charmander said lowly, waiting until the right moment.
"Lee!" Ledyba screamed, charging right at Charmander. It was almost there, not even a foot.
And as soon as it got close enough, Charmander smirked and fell backwards, its tail hanging on tight enough to the branch so that he was upside down and Ledyba sailed right past.
"Ley!" Ledyba sqweaked in surprise.
"Now!" Tyson ordered with excitement.
Nodding happily and letting go with his tail, Charmander did a min flip and, using the momentum of the tree branch he landed on, charged at the shocked Ledyba, slashing it viciously and hard enough to send it flying into a tree.
"Lee!" Ledyba screamed, falling to the ground, completely out for the count as it lay on the ground.
"Alright! We won our first battle!" Tyson roared with excitement, doing a little mini dance with Charmander.
"Ley..."
This caused Tyson and Charmander to look over before shifting guiltily. A few other Ledyba were hovering over their fallen friend, nudging it to get up. Finally, when nothing happened, they forced a few berries down its throat.
"Ley," Ledyba said a bit healthier this time. It gave one last glance at Tyson and flew back into the large bush with its friends.
The two were silent for a moment.
"I guess we just learned that maybe not everyone would like to battle or get captured," Tyson said softly, with just a little puzzlement. There wasn't a single pokemon on the island that didn't want to fight, but the pokemon here were apparently like that.
"Char," Charmander agreed, tilting his head.
With nothing else to do, they wandered through the forest.
OOC: So, do I keep wandering in the forest, and maybe find a new pokemon, or do I eventually come across a town? I'm a little confused with chapter 1.
