[color=9e0b0f]"I have no idea what to do!"[/color] 

Ethros saw the Rattata's quickly approaching. He panicked and quickly dove at Dart, which took him completely by surprise. He yelped and Ethros quickly ran past the charging pokemon with Dart in hand. The quickly scratched at his legs and began to rip his pants. 

Ethros' foot caught a rock and he fell forwards, scraping his fact and arms. He quickly turned to face what should have been three very angry Ratatta's, but instead saw Dart holding his ground growling. The Ratatta's quickly approached and overwhelmed the young pokemon, sending it into a panicked flailing. 

[color=9e0b0f]"H-hold on.. Dart..."[/color] is all Ethros could manage to say as he slowly stood and began to limp over to the battle. Suddenly a small shooting noise was heard and one of the Ratatta's was wrapped in a fine string. Ethros quickly spun around to see a young boy and a Caterpie ready to fight. 

The boy cheered, [color=f9ad81]"You know what to do!"[/color] and his Caterpie shot a small poison stinger out of it's body. One of the Ratatta's got hit and the others fled. 

Ethros slowly moved to Dart and picked him up. After gently brushing his head, he turned to the young boy. 

[color=9e0b0f]"I owe you, friend. What is your na-"[/color]

[color=f9ad81]"Nah, you're fine, mister. Just don't go into the wilderness if you're that weak. Bye!"[/color] The boy skipped off with his Caterpie right behind him.

Ethros looked down in shame. Then he realized he should hurry to the Pewter city pokecenter if he wanted to get Dart back on his feet. He quickly pulled what left of his strength he had together and rushed off into Pewter city.
