Well Meowth let's get you and the other's healed." said James. "Hey you...." it was a familiar voice. "I know who you are... I thought it was you James." He turned around. It was the nerd. "Well I haven't seen you in a while. Well let's just get to the point. I want to battle. Growlithe Go!" the Dog came out of the Pokeball and started to growl. "I can't battle now I need to get my Pokemon healed. So just bug off. Or maybe.... Just one on one. Okay Weedle GO!" said James. He threw the Pokeball. Then out came a bug. "weedle." said the bug as if it had a stuffed up nose. "Okay just use your Poison sting attack to poison him." the bug leaped at the dog. His needle was pointed at the dog. It hit the dog right in the stomach. "Rithe!" said the dog in pain. It's face turned blue. It looked like it was getting weaker. "Okay Growlithe. Ember attack now. The dog shook itself. A lot of little ember's came from it's body. Some of them hit the bug. "Weedle!" the bug was on fire. "Ah! Weedle hang on. Just give it one more poison sting to finish it off." Said James. "Wee-dle!" the bug leaped again. The needle on it's head was pointed straight at the puppy. The bug had a direct hit. The dog's face turned bluer. Then it lied down. And fainted. "Oh no! Growlithe Return. I'll beat you next time." said the nerd. "Okay now We have to get this flame out." James took off his jacket and Covered the flame. Soon enough the flame went out. "Now we have to get to a pokecenter. Fast. Weedle Return. Let's go Meowth." Said James as he ran to the Pokecenter. TBC
