Tai clenched his fists,
'Damn!' He cursed mentally. His Charmander's attack was now lowered. He thought this through and created a plan in his mind. Tai smirked and pointed at Squirtle,
"Scratch attack!" Tai yelled out. Masuda smirked,
"An offensive attack? I just lowered your Charmander's attack! That's not a smart idea..." Masuda yelled out. Tai chuckled as his lizard pokemon dashed at the Squirtle. Charmander raised his claw,
"Squirtle, Tackle!" Masuda yelled out. Squirtle grinned and lunged his head forward swiftly.
"CHARCO, JUMP!" The Charmander leaped into the air, cauing Squirtle to loose his balance slightly. The turtle looked around to see Charmander land on a boulder in the battle field,
"Now Charco! Scratch!" Charco used the boulder to cataupault himself into the air and swiftly fall to the ground. He slashed Squirtle's side, launching him off of the battle field.
"Squirtle is unable to battle! Tai and Hana are the winners!" Tai grinned and raised his fist up into the air.
"Yeah! We won our first battle, Hana!" He ran over to Hana and gave her a hug! He quickly let go,
"Oh, sorry!" Tai took a few steps back and picked up Charco into the air. Masuda returned Squirtle back into his pokeball and he placed his hand on his head.
"I don't get it, I used Growl! Squirtle should've survived that Scratch!" Tai walked over,
"The boulder provided a cataupault. With the added pressure of his launch his scratch attack was much more powerful." Tai grinned. Masuda nodded,
"I guess..." Oak walked over to the four trainers. He motioned them to follow him into his laboratory. Tai was the first to walk in, he led them all to a large machine in the back of his lab.
"Please place your Pokemon into the machine." Tai placed his pokeball into the machine along with the others. After a few seconds Oak handed back the pokeballs, their pokemon fully healed.

The four trainers stood on the outskirts of Pallet Town, Prof. Oak standing in front of them.
"Okay you four, to fill those pokedex's of yours, you should head out to these northern fields. I named it Route One during my explorations in my younger days. I inputted all my knowledge of the Kanto Region in those Pokedex's. So use them for your ALL your needs, it has a map, phycic pokemon translater, and a lot of more features. So now, I bid you four goodbye." Prof. Oak smiled. Tai and the others looked at Oak, Tai raised his hand. Oak did the same,
"Thank your Professor! We'll make you proud!" Tai smiled. They walked off into the horizon as the headed into the fields.
The made their ways down the large plains until Pallet was only mildly visible.
"Wow, we've been walking a lot! Wonder how far we are." Tai opened his pokedex and checked the map,
"We're half-way through?!" Tai shouted. He sighed,
"Well let me check what kind of pokemon are available here." Tai told the others. The pokedex then showed a loading screen,
"Location, ****yzing…"
After a few seconds, it let out a chime like sound.
"Pokemon Identified. List as follows: One: Pidgey, Two: Rattata, Three: Pokemon Unknown."
Tai stopped walking, he looked at the picture of Pidgey and smiled, it looked very strong, and continued down. Pokemon Unknown?
"Hey guys, what pokemon around here look Unknown?" Tai looked around.
He looked around for any sign of the unknown pokemon……when a shadow caught his eye and the boy did a double take.
The shadow was standing in the bushes, silently.
It was there, tall and imposing upon the back drop of peaceful green foliage.
Tai shuddered. It was staring at him; he could feel its eyes boring into his.
"I-I think we should go..." Masuda shuddered.
