"Let's go." Liam said. He walked out of the Center. A kid with black hair in messy spikes was in the way. He challenged Liam to a battle, one pokemon each. He called on a Ratatta.
"Ratatta, the Mouse Pokemon. Its fangs are long and very sharp. They grow continuously, so it gnaws on hard things to whittle them down. A Forest dwelling Pokémon, Rattata. likes cheese, nuts, fruits, and berries. It also comes out into open fields to steal food from stupid travelers."
The boy look offended. He stated, rather angrily that this Rattata stole food from his bag when he sat it down, distracted by a miscolored Pidgey. it got away from him because of the Rattatta.
Liam sent out Mankey.
"Ratata, use bite!" The boy called.
"Low Kick!" Liam replied. Mankey knocked the Ratata away right after it drove its fang into his leg.
"Iron Tail!" the boy yelled.
"Scratch!" Liam replied. Mankey scratched the body of the small pokemon as it slammed its tail into his face. Rattatta was KO'd. The boy shoved past the heroes and went inside. Liam praised Mankey and recalled him.
"Ready to move on?"
