Chapter 2: Sally's Battle
Mike stopped by the Pokemon Mart and picked up three Pokeballs and a potion. Kenny took two Pokeballs and two potions. Sally took two Pokeball and four potions. The three new trainers headed out to Evergreen Forest when... "Mike! Kenny!" It was the Professor. He ran over to them, out of breath. "You... two... <wheeze>... forgot... your PokeGear." marked the professor. "... Oh? And who might you be?" he questioned. "Oh, me? I'm Sally. I'm from Evergreen City. I already have my PokeGear, and my PokeDex..." "OH MY! It appears I'm being a bit forgetful." interrupted the professor. "Here are your PokeDexes boys." He handed the PokeGear and the Dex to Mike and Kenny. "I hope you boys will put this to good use. Sorry for the interruption ma'am." apologized the Prof. "That's OK." replied Sally. "Well, I better get going! Those Pokemon don't discover themselves, you know!" He laughed and walked back to his lab. The three trainers walked up to the start of Appleview Forest when a small, red Pokemon with six tails ran around the entrance. All three trainers looked surprised and quickly opened their Pokedexes. Vulpix- The Six-Tailed Pokemon. This fire Pokemon starts out with one tail and once it reaches six, can be recognizable as a Vulpix. "OH MY GOODNESS, IT IS SO CUTE!! YOU BOYS STAND BACK! I WANT THIS VULPIX!" screamed Sally at the top of her lungs. "Go, Buddy!" Sally shot out a small red ball with a white stripe and button and it released her Sentret with a red flash of light. The Vulpix looked surprised and started to run away. "Oh no, you don't! Buddy, Quick Attack!" Buddy sped up and whammed Vulpix, causing it to stop. "Buddy, Tackle attack!" The Sentret slammed into the Vulpix, slamming it into a tree. To Sally's surprise, the Vulpix ddn't give up. It used Ember on Buddy. The Sentret was hurt badly with plenty of burns, but didn't give up. "No, Buddy, you don't have to..." Sally tried to tell the Sentret, but Buddy instead kept on fighting. Buddy ran over to it and Quick Attacked it. Vulpix, suddenly, used Sand Attack. It blinded Buddy. "Oh no! Buddy, try using several Quick Attacks to wipe it off!" Buddy did as he was told. It was working, but Vulpix looked as if it were going to attack again and finish it off. "NO! Go, Thunder!" yelled Mike. He threw his Poke Ball at the ground. A small, yellow Pokemon with black stripes formed out of the bright red light. "Mike, wha..." Sally decided not to continue. "Thunder, Thundershock!" Thunder ran up to the Vulpix and electrocuted it. "Now, Thunder Wave!" yelled Mike once more. The Elekid shot out some strange yellow waves to the beaten up Vulpix, paralyzing it. "Pokeball, go!" yelled Sally. She threw an empty Poke Ball, and the Vulpix was sucked in. The ball shook a few times, and it stopped. "YEAH! I caught Vulpix! I'll name you Tails. Buddy, you deserve a rest. Return!" Sally took the Poke Ball and clicked the button. The recognizable red light flashed and took the Sentret back in. "Thunder, return!" Another flash of light, another Pokemon disappearing into the ball. "Yay, I caught a Vulpix!" cheered Sally. "Yeah, you did ALL of the work. You sure had nobody help you!" scoffed Mike. Sally glared at Mike. Mike just laughed. "Hey... why's Kenny so quiet?" Sally looked behind, and saw Kenny sleeping. "Um... uh... huh.... what?" said Kenny in a tired manner. "Wake up, Kenny! Sally just caught a Vulpix!" yelled Mike. It looks like the three Pokemon trainers are back to their travels through the forest- and their road to victory.
