"GOOD, SPEAROW!!! NOW WALK UP TO IT AND USE FURY ATTACK!!!" Levi yelled. The Spearow shook its body, walking up to Eevee and moving its head back, sending it back towards Eevee's head, attempting to peck it. The Spearow's look was confident, and, if it actually hit the Eevee's head, it wouldn't stop pecking it until it was tired.

"Levi, come on... that was so low..." Mark said, pulling something out of his bag, and it was Bellsprout's PokéBall, he then released the Pokémon, and it started to dance, moving its leaves and its legs. Mark also sent out Pikachu, which looked up at him and frowned, sitting down on the snow and making some weird drawings, Mark then started to rub Pikachu's hair, and, it started to turn its head back, and, as it noticed that Mark was touching it, it bit his index finger, Mark tried to get rid of the Pikachu by shaking his hand, but it was stuck to his finger. "HELP MEEEE!!!" He yelled hysterically, slapping the Pikachu many times.
 
Sensing the addition of new Pokemon, the Pokedex started to beep and talk without the consent of Sean. Luckily, it was hard to hear in his backpack, but he still couldn't shake the smooth, yet annoying female voice from talking.

"Pikachu. The Electric-Type Mouse Pokemon. It evolves into Raichu when exposed to the Thunder Stone. It is not known if it has a pre-evolution. Inside the red cheeks of this rodent houses electric organs that, when squeezed or flexed, will produce electricity. These organs can also store the electricity, and their tails are known for attracting Electric-Type attacks, especially when they are raising their tails to check their surroundings. A female Pikachu may have a notch in her tail, which makes it look like the top half of a heart, while the male's tail is flat. Even though it is classified as a quadruped creature, it has been known and seen to stand and walk on its hind legs. These Pokemon sometimes travel in groups. When a group of Pikachu gets larger and larger, lightning storms are caused from the inadvertent grouping. The organs it has in its cheeks can be squeezed to give off electricity of varying intensity. If they build up too much energy in their glands, they have to disperse or discharge it to avoid getting sick from the imbalances, usually with a friendly battle, or shocking a ground. Speaking of a ground, it can use its tail like one, sending the electricity through its tail. It can also use this technique to recharge fellow Pikachu and/or other Electric-Type Pokemon. Pikachu live in forests, and they forage for berries. Once they find a berry, they shock it to roast it and then they consume the now tender fruit. If you see dark patches in the ground in the forest, then you are near a Pikachu. Because of deforestation and people releasing these sometimes stubborn Pokemon in cities and towns, they run amok and are seen to eat telephone poles, wires, and other electronic equipment to get their sustenance of electricity.

They may have the Abilities Static or Lightning Rod, the latter being rare. If an opponent lands a direct hit on the Pokemon with Static, there will be a 30% chance for the attacking Pokemon to be paralyzed. This can affect Ground-Type Pokemon. Lightning Rod draws in all Electric-Type moves, and the Pokemon with this ability isn't hurt by the normally damaging attack. Instead, the attack will boost its own electric organs, or other special organs for distant attacking.

They are very adept at using their tails and electrical organs in battle, using their speed as an advantage."
"Bellsprout. The Grass- and Poison-Type Flower Pokemon. They evolve into Weepinbell when trained enough. Their stem-like bodies are extremely flexible, able to swerve rapidly to dodge the attacks of oncoming attackers, as well as move at blinding speed with its body and vines to capture its Bug-Type prey. Their feet are also roots, which they use to dig into the ground with them to gain nourishment and replenish water, although they can't flee while in this state. These Pokemon can be impulsive, as they immediately fling its vine at anything that moves. From its inviting pink mouth (for Bug-Types at least) on this human-like bud, the fluid is so corrosive, it melts even iron. Because of the human-like bud, or head, it is sometimes rumored to be a type of legendary mandrake plant. The carnivorous Bellsprout usually live in forests, preferring to live in hot and humid places.

They may have the Abilities Chlorophyll or Gluttony, the latter being rare. If the Pokemon with Gluttony is at half of its max stamina, it will eat a healing berry that its holding (the Oran Berry gets eaten at the same percentage of max stamina anyway), instead of eating it when at a quarter of its max stamina.

They are very adept at using their bodies to dodge and ensnare prey, while also adept at using their corrosive fluid to melt others."

After ignoring all of that, or at least trying to but failing, Sean saw that the Spearow was using Fury Attack again. This time, he won't let them get away with it. The attack hit Joltz in the head, and like intended, Spearow didn't stop. He then yelled: "I see what you were trying to practice Joltz. Use Headbutt!!"

Feeling overjoyed that Sean had been paying attention to what he was doing, Joltz quickly obliged after wincing at the pain from the Fury Attack hitting his head. He charged forward with his head extended. Fushi, who saw the correct form this time, felt so proud of Joltz. Since the Spearow couldn't fly very well and how close Spearow had to be to initiate the move, the Headbutt did hit (permission to auto), slamming Spearow quite hard in the face, as it was going to hit with the attack. Of course, this caused some bruising for the poor Joltz.

"SPEAROW, NO!!!" Levi yelled. The Spearow got headbutted, being sent back, it landed on its back, moving its legs down, it even tried to stand back up, but it couldn't. "GRRRRR!!! I WON'T LET YOU WIN!!! CHARMANDER, GO, BEAT THAT EEVEE!!!" Levi yelled, placing his hand on his shoulder bag and pulling Charmander's PokéBall out of it. Levi then threw Charmander's PokéBall forwards, and it went out of it, glaring at Eevee, it was angry!!! The Charmander, without any order, opened its mouth and sent a stream of fire towards Eevee, it was really big, and it also left a trail on the ground, which, now, was only burnt grass.

"WOWOWOWOWOWOWOOWOWOWOW!!!!" Mark screamed, finally taking Pikachu off his finger, the Pikachu then saw a couple taking some photos, and it ran towards them, Mark even tried to catch it, but he couldn't. As the Pikachu got next to the couple, it jumped on the boy's shoulder, smiling and making a peace sign with her right hand, Mark tilted his head, and he started to think about what he was seeing, and he concluded that the problem was him... well, it wasn't true! The truth is that Pikachu liked to take photos.
 
Seeing the enraged Charmander come out, Sean immediately shouted: "Quick Attack!" The Eevee's tail nearly got singed off as it narrowly escaped the flame, running alongside the powerful flame and trying to hit the Pokemon as he got closer. He was so close when the flame adjusted and had showered him in fire. Luckily, the snow became water as Joltz dove into the snow, only to jump out afterwards to initiate Quick Attack again, this time not getting hit by the Flamethrower. It did do some damage, and once Joltz stops after his attack, he'll be slightly tired.
 
"CHARMANDER, USE METAL CLAW!!!" Levi yelled, and the Charmander turned to the Eevee, jumping towards it and moving its arm back, and, as it did it, its claws came out, and it attempted to slam them on Eevee, trying to counter the Quick Attack. "If I lose, I will never get over that fact... I need to beat Sean!!!" Levi thought, clenching his fists.

"Oh no... Pikachu... why?!" Mark said, and the Pikachu looked down at Mark, saying half of its name two times, pointing to the camera, and Mark then realized that it wasn't him, nor the Pikachu, it was the camera! Mark instantly nodded, running away, and, the Pikachu, which was curious, umped off the guy's shoulder and followed Mark. The Bellsprout's legs dug into the ground, and it got stuck on it, it then started to rest.
 
Seeing the Metal Claw, the Eevee tried to jump over the Charmander, but it got slammed hard by the Metal Claw, sending the Pokemon back. Joltz, after fighting against two Pokemon, knocking them out, and then fighting this hardy Pokemon, has had enough. He laid there, not wanting to get back up. Seeing this, Sean knew that he had worked Joltz hard. He walked over and picked up his beloved Pokemon. He kissed his head and nuzzled his face, saying: "You did an amazing job for our first battle. Thank you so much."

Joltz just mewled in agreement and Sean looked at Fushi. The snow had melted around the battlefield now. This was Fushi's chance. Fushi slipped out from the jacket and landed perfectly on his hind feet. Sean then nodded his head at Fushi as Sean went back to his position and Fushi got into position on the battlefield. This was a type disadvantage, but the vines can help make Fushi go quite fast. Getting ready, Fushi just growled passively as he looked on with determination in his eyes. His bulb began to pulse, as Sean shouted: "Leech Seed!"

Fushi released several seeds with sapping vines toward the Charmander, all the seeds missed and landed on the ground nearby, the vines now covering and warming the ground enough to melt the rest of the snow. Now, the ground was covered in sapping vines. If Charmander gets get with another Leech Seed, then the combined Leech Seed on the ground would help by draining his energy and cause him to get stuck. Fushi then sent several sapping seeds toward Charmander, wanting to suck his life force.
 
"CHARMANDER, USE FLAMETHROWER, BURN ALL THOSE VINES AND THEN USE ANOTHER FLAMETHROWER, BUT, THIS TIME USE IT ON BULBASAUR!!!" Levi yelled. The Charmander nodded, and it opened its mouth, firing the flamethrower on the vines and burning them down, the Charmander then glared at the Bulbasaur, opening its mouth once again and sending another flamethrower, but, this time, aimed at the Bulbasaur.

Mark got in a shop, and it had a lot of cameras on it, and the Pikachu started to walk around, seeing which camera was the best. Mark smiled, and the Pikachu then stopped near a camera with a lot of tools around it, and the Pikachu pointed at it, and, when Mark looked at its price, he gasped, because it was 30.000 PokéYens. "No way... I can't buy that..." Mark said, and the Pikachu glared at Mark, releasing some small bolts from its cheeks. "Right... but I will be broken after this..." Mark said, and he walked towards the ATM, getting some of his family's money, which was stored in their account, it was exactly 100.000 PokéYens, and Mark was about to waste 30.000 of them.
Mark then walked up to the camera again, picking it up and walking, for the third, and hopefully the last time of the day, towards the cashier's counter. There was no queue this time, so he placed the camera on the counter and gave 30.000 PokéYens to the cashier, he stored it in a safe-box and Mark picked the camera up, running out of the shop, turning the camera on and taking some photos with Pikachu, she looked happier than she usually did.
 
Seeing all the vines burnt to a crisp, the Bulbasaur grinned. He took this battle in his own hands now. He used his vines to quickly dodge the Flamethrower by hopping to the side. Now that the ground wasn't so cold, he could fight at his leisure. He then ran towards the Charmander, his hopping covering some distance, but not as much like some other frog Pokemon. His bulb pulsed as another Leech Seed popped out. Now that he was closer to Charmander, maybe the added momentum can give the Leech Seed some more speed and land on top of him. Maybe. The Leech Seed descended upon the Charmander, hoping to get some much needed energy. If the Charmander decided to look away for a moment, Bulbasaur will use his vines, which are at the ready, to snag his legs to keep him from moving and to allow the Leech Seed to hit.
 
"CHARMANDER, USE SCRATCH AND TRY TO SEND THOSE LEECH SEEDS BACK TO BULBASAUR!!! I DON'T KNOW IF THAT WILL ACTUALLY WORK, BUT... UHH..." Levi yelled, and Charmander jumped up, moving its arm back, but it didn't use Scratch, and that made it get hit by the Leech Seed. The Charmander then fell down, hitting the ground, and yelling its own name many times.

"Pikachu, time to sto-" Mark said, but he got cut by Pikachu's death glare, and he just turned the camera on again and recorded Pikachu, which walked up to another store, and Mark shook his head, but the Pikachu glared at him once again and Mark followed her. She wanted to buy all the expensive clothes, and, Mark had to buy them. The cost of all the clothes was 20.000 PokéYens, and Mark, after buying all those outfits, went to a park to take some photos of her.

Sean, chuckling at the fact that Levi didn't know that Leech Seed cannot affect Grass-Types, watched as the Leech Seed began to embed itself into Charmander and wrap its sapping vines around the poor Pokemon. The vines glowed with an ominous light as the energy then gets transferred to the vines, down to the ground, and then speedily make their way to the Bulbasaur, climbing up the Bulbasaur's body and around the bulb, giving the Bulbasaur energy. The vines disappeared into the ground as soon as the energy transfer was complete, and Bulbasaur felt rejuvenated.

"Bulbasaur, use Headbutt!" yelled Sean. The Bulbasaur, croaked that sounded like 'saur' and rushed forward, extending his head to slam his skull into his opponent. If Bulbasaur had another powerful move in his arsenal, then Sean would've used that one, but since Headbutt was the most powerful move he has, then he might as well.
 
"CHARMANDER, USE FLAMETHROWER!!!!" Levi yelled, he was getting really worried about the battle result, and the Charmander also looked worried. The Charmander instantly opened its mouth, firing a stream of fire towards the Bulbasaur, Levi knew the attack was Super Effective, but he was sure the Bulbasaur wouldn't faint right away.

Mark finally stopped taking photos of Pikachu, and she looked really happy! Mark then stopped by an Ice Cream truck, buying 3 ice creams, giving one to Pikachu and eating the one on his right hand. The one os his left hand was bought for Bellsprout, but Mark wasn't sure if it'd like.
 
"Quick, V-"

Sean got cut off as Bulbasaur was already doing it. He jumped to the side again with the aid of his vines, but achieved a burn on one of them, which he immediately snapped back into the base of his bulb. He won't be able to jump out of the way quickly again, but hopefully he was close enough. His Headbutt was just almost there for impact.

Joltz woke up from his apparent nap and looked around, seeing the fight between Levi and Sean. It looked like Charmander was getting close, while Bulbasaur wasn't even down and out yet. Hopefully, Bulbasaur can get close enough to utilize those vines of his for better use.
 
"CHARMANDER, NOW MIX TWO ATTACKS! FIRE AN EMBER AT YOUR CLAWS AND USE METAL CLAW!!!" Levi yelled. He didn't really create that move, he saw it on a Cartoon, and that Cartoon was made by... PokéStar studios! Directly from Unova. Levi didn't know exactly what that Pokémon was, but he could clearly hear the training in the Cartoon saying something like what he had said recently. The Charmander nodded, a bit confused, and it fired an ember on its claws, which came out some seconds before it nodded, it then jumped towards the Bulbasaur, attempting to hit it with its claws.

Mark walked back, and he noticed that now it wasn't Eevee and Spearow, it was Charmander and Bulbasaur! He got hyped, he sat down, giving one ice cream to Bellsprout, who stretched its right leg towards it, constricting the ice cream with it, it then started to lick the ice cream, being careful due to how cold it was. Mark then showed Bellsprout an outfit, and he then made Bellsprout wear it, and that's what it did! It was a green hoodie with the word "SWAG" written on its back. The Bellsprout somehow managed to get the hoodie on, and it then started to watch the battle while licking the ice cream.
 
Seeing this, Charmander couldn't dodge out of the way, and collided the with the burning metal claws of the lizard with his outstretched head. It burned and scratched his skin, burning his head quite badly, but he did hit the Charmander with his Headbutt, sending the Pokemon back while Bulbasaur got pushed to the side from the burning metal claw.

Bulbasaur landed on his side, flipping over back on his feet, but roughly. His vines held his head, as it was scratched and burned quite badly. The embers that lingered on his skin got worse and began to burn Bulbasaur, afflicting him with a status condition. His attack was now halved and the burning sensation began to gradually sap away his stamina. Hopefully he knocked out the Charmander.

Sean and Joltz awaited with bated breath to see if Charmander would stand up from the harsh Headbutt.
 
The Charmander instantly fell down, and it was looking kind of tired, it closed its eyes and started to snore, and Levi's expression changed instantly, he then walked towards Sean, with a sad facial expression, he also retrieved Charmander to its PokéBall and he then moved his hand forwards, hoping that Sean would understand that it was a handshake. "You won!" Levi said, still sad.

Mark noticed how sad Levi was, and he then held up Bellsprout, who finished its ice cream, he then started to point at its hoodie, and Levi slowly turned his head towards Mark, and he then started to laugh, Mark also started to laugh. The Bellsprout was looking weird in the hoodie due to its body size, and that was all that Mark needed to do to make Levi smile again. The Bellsprout couldn't understand what was going on, but it started to laugh as well. Levi then turned his head back to Sean, raising his eyebrows and smiling.
 
Sean, looking dumbfounded at what just happened, accepted the handshake with his firm hand and looked ecstatic. He won his first battle! Well, his Pokemon did. Although, he too looked a little sad in his eyes, but more disappointed in himself. He then said: "Well, it seemed that my Pokemon knew what they were doing. Congratulate them first." He meant that and smiled big. They did a fantastic job and Fushi rushed over to earn himself a big hug from his trainer. Fushi snuggled into the chest of his trainer, putting out the little embers and Sean kissed above the mark.

He thought to himself: This victory wasn't mine, nor did I even help with it. But they did amazing, and hopefully they can trust my judgement enough to listen when they get tougher and smarter.

His train of thought was interrupted when he saw the "Swagsprout". He couldn't contain himself and started to laugh quite hard. He had to sit down in the snow to even contain himself. He was shrieking and whooping with howls of laughter, as his Pokemon got off and looked confused at their trainer, not being amused by the joke. Was it really that funny? And what did swag mean?
 
"Okay! Your Pokémon did great! You Bulbasaur is bulky and your Eevee is quick... REALLY QUICK! And also really strong, Haha!" Levi said. "BRO! WHERE DID YOU GET THAT? I WILL BUY SOME FOR MY CHARMANDER!!!" Levi yelled, getting next to Mark and looking down at Bellsprout, noticing the word "Swag" on the hoodie's back, he then instantly thought of the name "Swagsprout", and he looked at Mark, with a smile on his face, pointing at the Bellsprout. "Bro, name it Swagsprout, please!!!" Levi said, and Mark started to laugh, nodding his head in agreement, and Bellsprout looked up, tilting its head.

"Bellsprout, your name is officially Swagsprout from now on!!!" Mark said, petting Bellsprout's head, and the Bellsprout started to dance, shaking its legs and its leaves. "I will show you where I bought it, come with me!!!" Mark said, slapping Levi's right arm and running forwards, but, Levi knew that there was somehting that they should do, and he instantly turned back to Sean, waving at him and then making a signal as if he wanted him to come.
 
Sean, after recovering from his laughter, got up and set Bulbasaur back in his jacket. Eevee now has the energy to run around again, albeit not as fast as it would. His Pokemon beamed up at Levi at the compliments and they looked at Sean to see if they should go. Sean, his disappointment in himself disappearing to be filled with joy and a determined smile, ran after the boys. Their energy was contagious, and his Joltz bounded happily beside them.

Sean couldn't help but giggle a little as he caught up. This was the most amount of fun he had ever obtained in a day, let alone in a week. Everything in his life just seemed to be brighter as he started to appreciate more things and see what he was becoming. His dream in becoming a gym leader strengthened as he soon realized that he was about to get it a lot sooner than he realized.
 
"Alright, let's go!" Levi said, dashing after Mark, who went towards a shop. The shop wasn't far from where they were, so they arrived there in no time. Levi got in the shop, and he instantly spotted a hoodie with black sleeves and a blue body, he fell in love with the hoodie and he picked it up, he then picked up a blue stripy cap, iddentical to the one he was wearing, but, it was blue! He also picked a red beanie, a red scarf and a blue hoodie with white sleeves for Charmander. He bought a small scarf for Caterpie and a mini hoodie for Spearow, it didn't really cover its wings, on its body, and it was difficult to make Spearow wear it. Levi also bought new socks, they were green!

Mark was the first one to get in the shop. Bellsprout was sitting on his right shoulder, and Pikachu was sitting on his left one. Mark bought a new hoodie, it had navy blue sleeves and a pastel blue body. He also bought new pants, they were toothpaste. After getting everything that he needed, he went towards the cashier and paid for all his clothes, and he also paid for Levi's clothes! Maybe even Sean's clothes!!!
 
Sean snickered as he followed suit, heading toward the clothes shop. Funny enough, by the cashier's counter, they had candy. Awesome. He could go for a Snickers right now. He tried to find clothes that would suit his style, but couldn't find any. He looked at his shoes and saw that they were quite thrashed. He decided on getting several pairs of dark green and bright yellow socks and a pair of new shoes that were black with green leaves and yellow lightning on the sides. Awesome! He rushed to the counter and saw that Mark was paying for their clothes. He held up a finger and rushed to the part of the store for Pokemon. He had his Pokemon look through the selections of apparel and Bulbasaur found a red bandanna he had liked. It was big enough to fit around his neck. Joltz found a studded collar.

Sean giggled and took the articles of clothing they wanted and rushed back to the counter. He looked at Mark, unsure if he should pay for his clothes. He knew he was just being nice, but he didn't want to take his money. He'd feel bad. He asked: "Wait... Are you sure you want to pay for my stuff? I do have money I can use. I feel bad using your money."

The cashier lady smiled sweetly at the boy, obviously hadn't seen this kind of care towards someone's wallet before.
 
Levi turned his head towards the candies, and he picked one, looking at it as if it was the last candy in the world, and Mark just paid for the candy, it was only 1 PokéYen. "Thanks, Mark!!!" Levi said, smiling. Levi opened the candy and threw it into his mouth, chewing it and looking at Mark, who was getting near Sean.

"Sean, you should store your money, it is really important," Mark said, smiling and pulling some thousands of PokéYens out of his bag. The PokéYens had basically the same size as a common dollar, they came with 6 different values, 5 PokéYens, 10 PokéYens, 20 PokéYens 50 PokéYens, 100 PokéYens and 1.000 PokéYens. They were green, like the dollar, but instead of faces stamped on it, they had Pokémon.

Sean just snorted as Mark pulled a huge wad of money out of his bag. Well, it would help. He did need to buy supplies for himself anyway. He looked for anything else he wanted and really wanted that Snickers bar. He looked toward his Pokemon, and Joltz was already snagging what looked to be a fudge protein bar. Sean chuckled and took it from Joltz's mouth, petting his head and said he was going to pay for it. Fushi used his vines and grabbed a piece of 100% dark chocolate. Fushi then handed the dark chocolate bar to Sean, who giggled and shook his head, grabbing a Snickers at the same time. He set the candy on the counter, and took the collar and bandanna off for the lady to scan.

Once she was done, Sean gave his portion of the money to pay off the candy, only needing to pay 5 PokeYen for the dark chocolate, and 6 for the protein fudge, and 1 for his snickers; a total of 12 PokeYen. He let Mark pay for the rest of his clothes, also adding in his socks and shoes to the lady.

He then finally commented to Mark about the wad of money: "I noticed you were gone because of your Pikachu. Did she practically force you to buy stuff for her?"
 
"Ohhh, yes, she did," Mark said, rolling his eyes down at Pikachu and gulping, he looked really nervous.... as if he was afraid of something. "She isn't really cool... she bit my index finger, and she could really toast me with her Thunderbolts... I think she isn't really good when it comes to uhh... anything," Mark said, looking down, noticing that the Pikachu was playing with Swagsprout, but, she was wearing a different hoodie this time, it had dark brown sleeves and a pastel brown body, and she was wearing jeans and two black shoes. "PIKACHU, WHERE DID YOU GET THOSE, IM SURE I DIDN'T BUY THEM!" Mark yelled, looking down at Pikachu, who tilted her head and turned back to Swagsprout, slapping his face many times, but he was still smiling, somehow.

"That Pikachu is weird... better get rid of it," Levi said, and Mark turned his head to Levi laughing. "I'm not kidding," Levi stated, his eyes widening, and Mark looked at him, opening his mouth as if he was impressed, but they then started to laugh, and Swagsprout was still being slapped.
 
"It seems like Pikachu yet thinks of you as a partner or a human, and instead thinks of you like her slave of some sort. If you try disciplining her, she might listen. Or win a badge. Hopefully, that could work, but it might not. But you also can't be afraid of her, even if she does shock you. I've been shocked numerous times by my family's Raichu from me pulling on his tail. Of course, I was little and didn't know any better. I'd say just get used to Pikachu shocking you if you're planning to keep her. If not, then maybe she'll listen better to someone else, or you can give someone else the burden of taking care of her." Sean was really confused by Pikachu not listening, but it could attributed to many factors. He wanted to help Mark learn how to control Pikachu, yet knew it was going to be difficult for the kid. He didn't know what was so funny, so he just stood there and didn't laugh.

Fushi slid out of Sean's arms and perfectly landed on his hind feet. He walked over, tired of seeing them fight. He used his vine whips to grab both of them and hold them away from each other. His Grass-Type resistance would also help in keeping him pretty good from a Thunder Shock. If all else fails, Sean would just poke Fushi while he's being electrocute to cause all the damage to go to him.
 
"Hmmmm... probably! She was given to me by that weird boy in Professor Oak's house... His name is Gary if I remember correctly..." Mark said, looking up and scratching his head. "Yeah, I want to give her to someone I hate, I HATE THAT PERSON!!!" Mark yelled, laughing and slapping Levi's back, Levi then started to laugh. Mark pointed at Levi, and Levi bit his finger, and Mark fell back, still laughing, Levi almost fell as well after he saw Mark falling, and Levi, instead of just laughing, started to scream.

"BRO, WHAT THE... HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! YOU'RE SO DUMB!" Levi shouted, wiping off the tears that were falling from his eyes. "Well, Mark is.. haha... giving me the Pikachu!!! HAHAHAHAHAHA!!! I can't hold myself, oh god!!!" Levi said, turning his head to Sean.

The Pikachu felt Bulbasaur's vines constricting her, and her eyes widened, and she turned back, releasing a discharge that was more like a "Get off me" or some sort of "Get lost".
 
The electricity did hardly anything to Fushi, and he ripped the two Pokemon away from each other. He set the Bellsprout down and began to take the 'stolen' hoodie from Pikachu, trying to slip it off with another vine. Bulbasaur just made a series of raspy croaks, saying: "Stealing is bad, mate. Don't."

Sean raised an eyebrow. He had never heard of such a guy. He just shook his head and facepalmed at the kids' antics. This was one weird day. Well, at least it was explained that Levi's taking the Pikachu, but the sudden outburst of laughing wasn't exactly warranted. He just kind of kept an eye on the Pokemon, with Joltz making sure Bellsprout was okay, and Fushi trying to take the hoodie away from Pikachu. Sean decided to absorb some of the impact and placed a hand on Fushi's bulb. It pulsed underneath his hand. Weird. Now, if Pikachu shocked Fushi, the electricity would just go straight to Sean and won't hurt Fushi at all.
 
The Pikachu started to yell her name, trying to get rid of Bulbasaur, but her hoodie was pushed off her body, and, it revealed her actual clothes, the ones that Mark paid for. "Ohh!!! That one is what I bought!" Mark said, attempting to pick Pikachu up. Mark was still smiling, he looked really happy!!!

"Sean, do you think you will win? I think you will easily win. My Caterpie defeated Geodude with a String Shot barrage and a lot of Tackles, Haha!" Levi said, leaning his body against the counter, looking right into Sean's eyes. "Dude... I will tell you something..." Levi said, cleaning his throat. "I once saw something weird... it was yellow... I didn't tell it to Mark because he would get freaky. It had a star on its forehead and a weird mustache... It attempted to attack me... I entered into a nightmare where I had to eat stroganoff... that was the worst experience of my life... Since you know a lot about those weird Pokémon, can you tell me what was that?" Levi said. That thing was true! The Kadabra attacked him and made he sleep, and that nightmare was indeed the worst experience of his life!
 
Sean thought for a moment. He had recollected something from an old children's book meant to keep children from sneaking out at night. Also, there was a book about a kid transforming into such creature, after the kid started showing his psychic powers the day before. Did it start with a K...? Maybe... Sean then finally said: "That sounded like the evolution of Abra... What was that called...? A k... Ka- something. The Gym Leader in Saffron City has one of those.... OH! A Kadabra! And yes, I think I will win easily. Since both of Brock's Pokemon are weak to Grass-Type moves, it should be a breeze."

Meanwhile, Fushi took the hoodie off and gave it to Joltz for him to put back, which he grasped with his teeth and hurried off to put it back. Fushi let Mark hold Pikachu, but wasn't so sure if he was going to get shocked. He just held on to the foot of Pikachu once Mark got a hold of him.
 
"Kadabra? Abra? Evolution? That thing was talking! I doubt it was a Pokémon, maybe it was a thug dressed as a Pokémon... but... how did it make me sleep??? Agh! Those things are so weird!" Levi said. He was 100% sure that the thing had talked, and it didn't look so happy! It happened some months before he went to Kanto, so it wouldn't be so hard to remember correctly what had happened.

The Pikachu was held by Mark, and she had a frown on her face. Mark pulled out his camera out of his backpack, taking some photos of the Pikachu. The Pikachu opened a big smile. Mark tried to rest a bit his hand, but she slapped his face, and he started to take more photos. "Dude... You know I'm listening to what you're saying, right?! I think I won't sleep properly tonight..." Mark said, gulping, getting slapped by Pikachu once again, but, this time, he just ignored her, and that made Pikachu get angry and release a discharge on Mark, and it made Mark's hair spike up, and Levi started to laugh.
 
"Kadabra has the ability to make people sleep and use telepathy to talk to people in their heads. They even can use their psychic powers to cause others to dream. Well, that's what I've read about in their folklore. But very few Pokemon can actually speak, most of them have a deep understanding of it, while only a few, like Psychic-Types, are able to express it with their psychic powers."

Sean's brain was hurting wracking it around and trying to remember something about this specific Pokemon. Sean's attention got turned as he heard Pikachu slap her trainer. He sighed, and said: "Maybe instead of trying to appease Pikachu, maybe you should show her that she needs to listen to you and that she needs to respect you. If she misbehaves, take something away from her, or don't do any fun stuff with her."

Joltz came back and pounced Fushi, and they both got electrocuted as Fushi's vine was still connected to Pikachu when she discharged her electricity.
 
"Oh, I see... I will try to catch one of those..." Levi said, thinking of how cool it would be if he had a Psychic Pokémon to bug others, but he then turned his head at Mark, looking at the Pikachu and running towards her, taking one of her shoes out of her foot and running away, she instantly got angry, and tried to get out of Mark's grip, but she couldn't, and Mark started to laugh.

"Ok! I understand, Sean. I will try to do that from now on!" Mark said, nodding his head in agreement. As Levi picked Pikachu's shoe, Mark held her even tighter, and she, now accidentally, sent out a discharge once again! Levi looked back, his eyes widening, and he then hid inside the clothes.
 
Sean just chuckled as Levi took Pikachu's shoe to teach her she shouldn't steal. Well, in a silly way, of course. He then commented on Levi's plan to catch one: "Well.... It is easier said than done. If I remember correctly, their one of the hardest Pokemon to catch. Once they sense danger, they'll use their Teleport move to teleport away, even when they're asleep. You have to go on a wild goose chase to find one, or freeze the Pokemon, or do something to make it unable to flee."

Fushi finally let go of Pikachu's foot and retracted his vine inside of his bulb, while Joltz started nudging Fushi on the side for some reason. It seemed that Joltz wanted to play with Fushi, but Fushi was tired from the battle earlier. He asked if Joltz felt even the slightest bit of exhaustion and he just shook his head rapidly. Fushi just sighed and wished for this store visit to end, so he can heal up at the Pokemon Center.
 
Levi went out of the clothes where he was hiding on, and he then walked towards Sean, looking at Pikachu, who gave him a glare and started to yell her name in agony due to Mark's grip, but she then give up, she knew she wouldn't be able to get out. "Oh... DAMN?! EVEN SLEEPING?! That Pokémon is really overpowered... damn..." Levi said, scratching his head, thinking of an alternate way to catch an Abra, and he was thinking of throwing a rope around it and pushing it towards the PokéBall. Levi also thought of throwing the PokéBall from a mountain or something like that.

"Pikachu, you're being rude and ugly!" Mark said, in an attempt to scold the Pikachu, but, as she heard the word "ugly", her face expression changed instantly, she looked sad, and Mark just placed her on the ground, and she walked towards the window of the shop, looking at herself, and she started to cry. "WAIT! SORRY!!! I DIDN'T MEAN TO HURT YOUR FEELINGS!!!" Mark shouted, but it was too late, the Pikachu was already hurt. She was thinking that her hair made she look weird and ugly.
 
Sean just chuckled as he shook his head, obviously not agreeing with how powerful the thing is. "Well... That's the only move it knows, I believe. It cannot learn any other moves naturally, unless it was born with more." That was when Sean heard Mark scold his Pikachu. Well, that's technically not how someone is supposed to scold a Pokemon. He got the rude right, but calling her ugly? That's a step a little too far and a little unwarranted. "Um... I'm sorry, but if you are going to scold a Pokemon, don't call them ugly. There's no point. You're going to have to apologize real nicely to Pikachu. Maybe snuggle her. She might like it."

Sean shrugged at his own idea, but it could work. He wasn't so sure of how snuggly a Pikachu is, but they should be pretty snuggly, right? Joltz and Fushi just looked at the Pikachu all sad. They didn't exactly know how to help her, so they just stood back and watched.
 
Levi's expression changed, and he now looked disgusted, he then shook his head. "I don't want that Pokémon then, ew. It sounds to useless... Anyways, let me try to help, Mark," Levi said, getting next to Pikachu and hugging her, and the Pikachu slowly stopped crying, she then started to hug Levi, still sniffing. She looked different in a way, but Levi was almost sure it wasn't going to last for too long. "Pikachu, it is alright. You're not ugly! But Mark is!" Levi said, laughing, and the Pikachu started to laugh as well.

"Come on! Don't say that!" Mark said, crossing his arms and looking away. He then looked back at Pikachu, getting next to her, moving his hands towards her, but she started to growl, and Mark stopped, he then looked at Levi. "Should we trade our Pokémon right now?" Mark said, and Levi nodded. Mark then paid for everything, and he then gave some PokéDollars to Sean. "You might need those!" Mark said, picking up the bags with the clothes in it and walking out of the shop.

"Sean, we will be right back!" Levi said, walking out, still holding the Pikachu, which looked happy. Levi and Mark were walking towards the Pokémon Center, which is the only place where they can trade Pokémon.
 
Sean smiled and took the money, but wasn't too happy for that. Although, he decided to take it out of respect. He waved goodbye to the cashier, and he hurried his way over to the Poke Center. His Pokemon were following behind him, Fushi getting some exercise in since the battle, and he caught up to the Pokemon Center. Since the nurse wasn't needed to trade Pokemon, he grabbed both Joltz and Fushi, and set them on the desk. He put them in their Poke Balls and gave them to the nurse, who gladly took them and walked toward a machine to heal them.

Sean turned back and watched the trading happen. He took out his Snickers he bought and began to eat it, a little hungry from the excitement.
 
Levi and Mark stopped in front of a big machine with four tubes and a lot of buttons, it also had two sockets. Levi then nodded, taking Caterpie's PokéBall out of his shoulder bag, placing it on the socket, and Mark retrieved Pikachu to her PokéBall, placing her PokéBall on the socket, Levi then placed a big green button on the middle of the machine. The machine had a little screen on its middle, it was showing both Pikachu and Caterpie, and, as Levi pressed the button, the screen turned black and the PokéBalls were sucked in the tubes, and then, Pikachu's PokéBall fell down on the socket where Caterpie's PokéBall was and Caterpie's PokéBall fell on the socket where Pikachu's PokéBall was.

"Okay, now Pikachu is mine..." Levi said, taking the PokéBall out of the socket and pressing the button, and, the Pikachu came out. Levi hugged her and held her up like a baby. She then turned her head at Mark, who had just pressed the PokéBall button. The Caterpie came out, falling on Mark's head, and Mark's face turned pale, and he started to scream, Levi then started to laugh, taking Caterpie off his head and placing it on his own head. Mark then stopped, and his normal skin color came back, he then started to laugh as well. Pikachu also started to laugh, and Caterpie did some weird sounds while it closed its eyes, as if it was laughing.
 
Sean raised an eyebrow at Mark's dislike of Caterpie. Why was that? He walked over and asked: "Yo, Mark. Why are you so startled by Caterpie? Caterpie is friggin' adorable." Caterpie didn't seem to be that terrifying, but then again, he loved Bug-Types and nature, really. He just preferred the Grass-Type side of nature and left all the bugs for Bug Catchers.

A ding could be heard and the nurse that walked back with Sean's Pokemon came back to give him his two Pokemon back. Sean thanked the nurse and rushed back to the others, releasing his Pokemon from his confines. Joltz was bounding around excitedly, happy to have his energy back. Fushi stretched all of his muscles, found a large pillow seat, and sat down on it, comfortable and quickly fell asleep from the squishy and soft embrace.
 
"I have a phobia!" Mark said, looking at Caterpie, and the Caterpie looked at him, the Caterpie then made a weird noise, and Mark jumped away, screaming and hiding behind a couch, spying the Caterpie, which was moving its body as if it was dancing. "BRO, DON'T TRUST THOSE THINGS, THEY'RE MORTAL!!!" Mark yelled, pointing at Caterpie, and Levi turned his head at Mark, laughing.

"I think we already told you that Caterpie isn't the one who got poison," Levi said, he was almost sure that they had told him about it, but Mark had forgotten it. "Anyways, Caterpie, go back to your owner and... I remember that PokéDex is able to tell us if Caterpie is poisonous..." Levi said, pulling his PokéDex out of his pocket and opening it. "Dex, is Caterpie poisonous?" Levi said, and the PokéDex beeped and a blue light turned on, it was turning on and off constantly.

PokéDex: "Caterpie isn't poisonous, but, be careful, Weedle is!" Levi smiled ironically, looking at Mark, who picked Caterpie up, and the Caterpie blushed (?), making some weird sounds. Mark then looked at the red antennae on its head, and he touched it, and, as Mark touched it, the Caterpie expelled a terrible smell from its antennae, and Mark covered his nose, Levi said did it. Pikachu and Charmander did the same, but Spearow just placed its head inside its own body, Bellsprout stood still because it had no nose, so it couldn't smell it.
 
Fushi used his vines to cover his nose, while Joltz held his paw to his snout, and Sean pinched his nose while he looked with a deadpan face. If he remembered correctly, the Pokedex did say something about the ostemer-something smelling bad when touched or when Caterpie was threatened. In fact, his Pokedex spewed so much information about Caterpie, but he did also stuff it in his backpack, quieting it down quite considerably.

Sean walked over, and with his nose still pinched, said in a nasily voice: "You know, I thought you heard my Pokedex talk incessently about all the Pokemon it could sense. Then again, I did shove it in my backpack. Caterpie isn't poisonous, but there are plenty of Pokemon that are. Bulbasaur is poisonous, but only by spreading Poison Powder. Which it has yet to learn. I'm going to help my Pokemon get tougher before the gym fight. You should probably go outside with Caterpie so the smell will dissipate and not stink up the entire place."

He picked up his Pokemon and set them on his shoulders and then walked outside, leaving the doors open by standing next to them to let out the terrible odor.
