"It's just over here," Sam said. He walked over to a small path next to the pokecenter, following it. They ended up directly behind the pokecenter, where a square area with no grass on it was. As they came closer, they could identify the battle area in the grassless spot. Sam slowly walked towards the far side of it, turned around, and got two small pokeballs out of his bag. He pressed the buttons on them to enlarge them, than threw them up in the air. "Honedge, Metang, I need you." The pokemon came out of their respective pokeballs, honedge to the right of Metang. Honedge was still in its sheath. Sam whaited for the other girl to throw out her pokemon, and then said: "Ladies go first." He patiently whaited for the moves she was going to use, but she would be in for a surprise anyway.
