Route 29 part 1
Jade quickly rushed outside, eager to see who her first pokemon was. With an excited grin, she threw the pokeball to the ground. With a burst of white light, a small, greenish pokemon appeared with a large horn on its head.
"Larv," the small pokemon greeted, blinking softly as it surveyed the area, its eyes focusing on Jade. "Vav?" it questioned, tilting its head to the side.
"Hello there, Larvitar," Jade said, uable to keep the excitement out of her voice. She had actually started with a Larvitar! She bent down and offered her had to sniff. "I'm Jade, and I'm your new partner. How do you do?"
Larvitar sniffed Jade's hand warily, but after a moment it obviously found something it liked in her scent and gave a happy, "Var!"
Jade grinned, happy her pokemon liked her. "I suppose we should get going," she said. "I've already said goodbye to my family, and I'm eager to see what you can do."
Larvi," Larvitar agreed happily, walking beside Jade as they both entered Route 29.
They spent quite a while before they even found a pokemon, must to Jade's frustration. She wondered if the other trainers had already captured all of the pokemon in this area before she felt her heart drop when she saw her first pokemon. Excited, she quickly pulled out her pokedex.
Hoothoot, the owl pokemon. This pokemon balances on one foot constantly, even if bracing itself for an attack.
"Now that's interesting," Jade said, closing her pokedex with a snap. "Alright, get in there Larvitar!"
"Tar!" Larvitar called, jumping in front of the flying type and staring it down.
Hoothoot, sensing a battle, flew down to meet Larviatr and gave its own hard stare. After a moment of silence, Hoothoot smirked and rushed at Larvitar in a Tackle attack.
"Use Bite!" Jade ordered quickly.
"Tar." With mouth wide open, Larvitar charged as well. The two were meeting each other head on, but at the last minute, Hoothoot quickly flew off to the side, dodging the Bite attack and ramming into Larvitar's side. "Var!" Larvitar called in shock, surprised by the random attack.
"Hoo," Hoohoot said smugly.
"Don't give into that," Jade said angrily. "Another Bite!"
With a burst of speed and a furious growl, Larvitar tore at Hoothoot on its stomach, being sure to dig in deeply and getting a high pitched scream from Hoothoot. When he was satisfied, Larvitar jumped back, allowing his foe to go free.
With an angry screech that could almost rival a roar, Hoothoot charged, using another Tackle. It got Larvitar right in the head, bashing it backwards.
"Get up," Jade ordered, staring at her pokemon bouncing on the ground.
"Val," Larvitar grunted, getting up and shaking its head.
"Hoh," Hoothoot cawed, charging again.
"No way we'll get hit again," Jade said. "Larvitar, use Sandstorm!"
"Var." With a smirk, Larvitar tilted his head, horn pointing at the flying type and unleashed a swirling torrent of hard sand. It hit Hoothoot head on, creating small scratches as it surrounded it, causing more and more damage.
"Now finish it with another Bite!" Jade called excitedly.
With much vigor, Larvitar charged at the sand surrounded pokemon and bit hard. "Hooooot!" Hoothoot cried, shaking violently before finally closing its eyes as Larvitar unleased it.
"Var," Larvitar sighed, looking at the fallen pokemon. Turning to Jade, it said happily, "Lavit!"
Jade laughed in excitement. "Great job, Larvitar! You were the best!
"Vl," Larvitar mumbled, rubbing is head, a little embarrassed as Jade pet him on the head.
"That was a good battle," a new voice said, causing them to jump slightly.
Jade turned around to see a boy with light blond hair and dull looking brown eyes. He was wearing simple blue jeans and a red shirt. "Who are you?" she asked.
"I'm Alex, and I challenge you to a pokemon battle," he said with an eager grin.
"You're on!" Jade said in excitement.
"Lar!" Larvitar said with just as much excitement, ready to face off against this new challenger...
