Ray, watched as Elliot made his departure with a wrinkled nose apparently he didn't like a certain smell.  Whatever it was Ray, couldn't really smell it himself.  Shaking his head, Ray turned in time to see David introduce himself, formally as one of the "Elite Four".  Ray had read about them in a library from an old pokemon book once.  It was as David described they were like the final obstacle before facing the Pokemon League/Region/Continent whatever you want to call the grand area where all the badges were Champ.  [i]That's awesome I got to see an elite four in action and know a couple of his pokemon.  A Jolteon and a toad thing.[/i]

He smiled happily as he heard, "Of course!"  "We'll be moving onto route 1, so I can teach you all how to catch pokemon! I suggest that before catching a pokemon, you all consider how the pokemon will factor into your team. Some people work better with a team of different types--while others have a team consisting of only one type."

The mentor was going to show them the way to be great trainers.  Ray turned to follow the man, but noticed in the corner of his eye, that his totodile has a rock in its jaws, like its trying to eat it......  "Totodile no rocks aren't for eating..."  His totodile only stared at him, blinking his eyes slowly.  

"WAIIIT!"
Ray and totodile eyes snapped towards the yell.  It was a young girl in distress with a treecko on her shoulders.  Ray was about to go help her out and explain everything is ok, when Sterling suddenly relieved him of that job. Wow, did I miss something or is?  [i]Sterling found a girl friend??[/i]  Ray smirked as he thought about it...

Going back to the present problem,  he went to pull the rock out of his totodile's mouth.  "Grrr", came an audible growl from his pokemon as he put his hands on the rock that the mon wanted to eat...   Ray started to tug on it as his pokemon continued to growl louder and louder...  

"Totodile...."  He said in exasperation as he was only trying to help his pokemon...
