I Can't Wait to Leave Mount Moon

Reve thought. "Who will I use?" she said out loud. "I chose you---" said Reve. Sonador cut in before she could finish her sentence. Sonador stepped out and said "I chose you Nidoking." Nidoking popped out from a pokeball. "Okay, I choose you, Charmander," said Truf. "Nidoking, use your Focus Energy," said Sonador. Nidoking gathered the energy from around him. "Charmander, use Slash," said Truf. Charmander hurts Nidoking. "Nidoking, now use Double Kick." Nidoking jumps up and hits Charmander two times on his head. "Charmander use Leer," said Truf. Nidoking appears to be weakened. "Nidoking, use Focus Energy again," said Sonador. "Quick, Charmander use Slash," said Truf. Charmander gathers up his energy and slashes Nidoking. Nidoking faints. "Nidoking return," Sonador looks sad.

"I know I shouldn't have sent you out when you weren't ready. I'm sorry Nidoking. I should have sent out Magneton, but he's at the Daycare Center," Sonador said. "I wonder if I should use my Cloyster or my Bellsprout," Sonador asks himself. "Cloyster's stronger but I want my Bellsprout to learn sleep powder. Okay, I call you Bellsprout," said Sonador while throwing his pokeball. "Bellsprout, use Poison Powder," said Sonador. Bellsprout breathed out the powder. Charmander becamed poisoned. "Oh, no Charmander. Don't worry, use Ember," Truf said. Charmander gathers up his energy while ignoring the pain and breathes out a big flame. Bellsprout faints. "Oh no, Bellsprout!" says Sonador. "Reve, get revenge for me," said Sonador.

Reve looks upset. "You better heal your Charmander," she says while calling out her Slowbro. "Oh no," exclaims Truf. "I don't have my antidote, where is it?" "Don't worry, I have my special herbal healing potion. You can use it on your charmander," says Reve. "Wait, why are you helping him? We'll lose!" exclaims Sonador. "Charmander will be sleeping for a few hours, though," said Reve. Sonador looks relieved. "Thank you," said Truf gratefully.

Reve puts in a bunch of herbs in a cup and adds a bubbly liquid. Truf lets Charmander drink the potion. "Char mander char char char," (this tastes like lemon-lime soda)." Charmander falls asleep. "Go, Pikachu," says Truf. Pikachu comes out. "Oh no!" exclaims Sonador. "I can't believe this, he'll win!"

"Pikachu, use Thunderbolt!" says Truf. Pikachu uses Thundershock and severely hurts Slowbro. Sonador looks away shaking his head. "Okay, Slowbro use Growl," says Reve. Pikachu is weakened but looks okay. Truf smiles and catches Reve looking at him angerly. "Okay, Pikachu use Thundershock again to finish him off," says Truf. Pikachu uses Thundershock. Slowbro is in pain. "Quick, Slowbro use your Water Gun continuously," says Reve. Slowbro squirts water full blast at Pikachu. Pikachu is pushed back by the water and comes up with a plan. Pikachu runs around the water to Slowbro and whacks Slowbro on the head. Slowbro faints.

Reve looks at Truf with her face bright red and full of steam. "You've done it now, you've made her angry," said Sonador happy again. Reve takes out a pokeball. "I call you Bulbasaur!" she exclaims. Bulbasaur comes out. "Bulbasaur use Poison Powder," Bulbasaur poisons Pikachu. "Pikachu, oh no! Use Thunder," Pikachu tries to hit but misses. Reve makes a signaling motion and Bulbasaur shoots out vines and grabs Pikachu. Pikachu tries to break free but fails. "Return Pikachu," says Truf sadly. "Okay, call out your next pokemon, I'll be ready to beat you!" says Reve, looking angrier than ever. "I don't have any other pokemon," replies Truf. Reve looks shocked and then sad. Sonador looks triumphant. "Huh?" says Sonador hardly able to contain his laughter. Truf looks angry again and slightly embarrassed.

Reve hands the remaining herbal potion to Truf and he grabs it angrily. Pikachu comes out and drinks the potion and falls asleep. "Well you've lost and you can't leave," says Reve turning her back. Sonador goes up to the exit of the cave and closes a secret door. They leave.

"I don't care what they say. I'm getting out of here. Truf takes out a pocket knife and pries open the the secret door. "Come back Pikachu, come back Charmander," says Truf. Truf quietly sneaks out of the cave. "Who do they think they are anyway?"
