The First Battle: Cyndaquil vs Zangoose, part 1
The Cyndaquil became increasingly excited for the battle about to begin, the flames on it's back grew intense, to the point that his trainer, Nero, had to take a step back to avoid an accidental burn. Meanwhile, the Zangoose raised it's paws, apparently ready to attack - and it only took a second for it to dash towards Cyndaquil, his claws glowing white. Nero leaped back and at the same time, warned Cyndaquil of the incoming danger; "Cyndaquil, look out!"
There was barely time for the tiny fire-type to dodge, though. The Scratch attack hit true, sending Cyndaquil a good distance away. It stood itself up, shaking his head to regain focus. Nero's expression was a worried one, but Cyndaquil seemed alright. "Right, Smokescreen, now!"
The command was given and Cyndaquil opened it's mouth, releasing a thick black smoke towards the Zangoose. As the normal-type fought with the smoke for his own sight, Nero followed with another attack; "Ember!"
Cyndaquil's back erupted with flames as he spat out three balls of fire towards the Zangoose, harming the wild pokémon, but barely close to bring it down. Zangoose, in the meanwhile, crossed it's arms and pressed his claws against one another, his claws started to glow with a blue energy, increasing his own attack and recovering the accuracy he had just lost.
"Smart," Nero thought, smirking for a brief moment.
