Chapter 3: The Bully on Route 1

Mike went to bed excited for the next morning. In the morning, he had a big breakfast, and at 10:30 AM, he packed his bag and went off on his journey, Nothing could stop him now. Mike entered Route 1 and stepped in tall grass and was attacked by a Yungoos. He sent out Rowlet and fainted the Yungoos, Rowlet took 8 points of damage but was still feeling alright. Suddenly, an old man who looked to be around 75 years old popped out of a bush. He said that he was watching the wild battle from the bushes. He was impressed by Mike as most trainers usually take longer to faint wild Pokemon. The old man healed up Rowlet and told Mike that they will meet again.

Mike took down the 3 trainers on Route 1, but on the way to the entrance of Gaston Town, he heard someone call him. It was an adult who seemed to be around 23 years old who was accompanied by a female. They said that Mike was too young to be a Pokemon master and wouldn't accomplish his dreams. This made Mike mad and challenged the bully to a 1 on 1 Pokemon Battle. Mike sent out Rowlet and the bully set out Squirtle. Mike was excited as he had a type advantage. Mike told Rowlet to use Leafage, Squirtle looked like it took a lot of damage. The bully told Squirtle to use Icy Wind, Rowlet took a massive amount of damage but was still conscious. Mike was confused as it was impossible for Squirtle to learn Icy Wind.

Anyways, Rowlet decided to use tackle on Squirtle and knocked it out. The bullies walked away from Mike without saying a word. Mike entered Gaston Town and entered the Pokemon Center to heal up Rowlet and decided to call his mother on the video call center.
