[color=F5EB7D][b]Location:[/b][/color] Route 2, Kanto; Outskirts of Viridian City[hr][/center][indent]
Lochlan Newton's journey to become a new gym leader in Kanto had began pretty rough so to say. He made it to Viridian City with no major hiccups until trying to battle the local gym leader. He was told that the leader of the gym had gone on some sort of vacation for the time being, with the idea finally clicking in his head that the gym leaders were people too with lives of their own. The young trainer had stayed in town for two extra days, having spent the nights at the local Pokemon Center and the day time traveling and exploring the city, along with pathing out his trek to Pewter City.

The blonde trainer was told that the only way to Pewter City was through the Viridian Forest, but that he should hold off on heading to the next city as they were going to host a wonderful festival inside of the forest that he might be interested in. He had one more day left until the festival would begin as he stood grounded on the dirt path of Route 2 with his fluffy companion in the midst of an energetic battle.

[color=F5EB7D]"Bo!"[/color] Lochlan shouted, calling out to his eevee. The bright, youthful trainer was in a battle with a wild rattata that had sprung up on the duo as they were wandering the route, startling the pair with a gutsy tackle. [color=F5EB7D]"Get it back with a tackle of your own!"[/color]

The chestnut colored fluffball shouted in understanding as he charged forward, attempting to deliver a forceful tackle directly at the purple rat that had done the same to him, but it managed to roll to the right and dodge the attack. As the rattata rolled backwards it shook off the dirt, flipping itself and wagging it's tail at the eevee tauntingly.

[color=F5EB7D]"We won't let that slide, bud, don't worry!"[/color] Lochlan said. [color=F5EB7D]"Let's show him something that he can't dodge! Swift!"[/color]

Bo roared as bright yellow stars began popping out of thin air around him before he tapped his feet on the dirt in the direction of the rattata. The stars followed a mere second after, flying quickly at the rat without a seconds notice, sending the rat flying a few feet back.

The rattata shook off the hit as it snarled back at the pair, rolling to its feet, and charging at them yet again. This time though, the purple rat was flashing in their direction, speeding and picking up momentum as it got closer. 

[color=F5EB7D]"Let's take it head on, Bo!"[/color] The trainer commanded. [color=F5EB7D]"Go and use tackle!"[/color]

Another growl escaped sounded off from the eevee as it lunged itself forward at the speedy, purple flash. The sound of the two tiny Pokemon bashing each other in the head sounded painful as the impact happened in seconds. The two rolled away from the force of the collision, with Bo quickly standing up confidently at what he assumed was the defeat of his opponent, who was slowly backing away into the tall grassy fields.

[color=F5EB7D]"You did great!"[/color] Lochlan said as he ran towards his partner. Petting him, the trainer took out a small pouch from his bag and handed his eevee a dried berry treat. [color=F5EB7D]"We should probably get some new friends before we battle the next gym, shouldn't we?"[/color]

Bo nodded in agreement as he chewed away at his treat in delight.
