"C'mon, Grace!" Raven yelled over her shoulder. The said Pidgey just increased it's speed a bit, trying to catch up her her trainer, who had decided to start running sometime ago. Laughing, Raven finally slowed down, Grace almost crashing into her. Raven looked around the woods area she was now in. She was somewhere between Pallet town and Pewter city, in an area that she knew held quite a couple Pokemon. "Let's take a break here a bit, alright?" Raven patted the large Pidgey on the head. "And if we're lucky, we'll find a new friend to play with!" Grace's responce was just to chirp.

You don't have time to relax long, as a nidoran quickly appears. You and your pokemon had entered its teritory. The pokemon charged at you and your pokemon with Tackle.

((A Nidoran? Male or Female? *Doesn't care either way* Probably male, since males tend to be more territorial... *Is reading too deep into this*))

It was, actually, Grace who spotted the Nidoran first. The Pidgey flew down at it, using Sand attack to try to mess up it's vision.

Surprised, Raven turned in the direction of the two Pokemon. An excited grin apperared on her face. "Alright, our first battle!" She yelled. "Keep it up, Grace!"

( male, my bad XD)

The Nidoran yelped at the sand getting into its eyes, and backed off before using posion sting on Grace, though it did seem to move rather shaky with the sand blinding it.

Grace dodged the attack easily, with the Nidoran being half blinded. Raven smiled at this, "Now go in with Tackle!" She yelled. The large Pidgey shot a few more sand attacks at it, before flying closer to attack it, trying it's best to avoid getting speared with one of it's spikes.

Nidoran was hit with the tackle, and skidded across the ground. When it stopped its slide, it rubbed at it's aggitated eyes and tried to use poision sting again.

This time Grace wasn't so lucky. She was hit by the poison sting, but was thankfully not poisoned. She shook it off, and went for another tackle.

Raven watched for a moment, before she remembered something. "Oh!" She started digging through her stuff, trying to find one of the Pokeballs she just bought. Finding one, she grabbed it, and got ready to throw it once the Nidoran was weak enough.

::Grace flew with speed towards the male nidoran as it was hit by the tackle lessening its health once again. It was getting low, but it still had fighting spirit as it tried to use "Leer" hopingthat it would lure the pidgey to a false sense of security or something else. AS you stil search for the pokebal and now holding it in wait seing when it would be good to throw it to be captured!""
