Snippet #1628633

As Barbie, Dieter, and sentret wandered through the grass, the day slowly began to turn to night. In the fading sun, they heard a rustle, and looked to see a sprout of grass... moving by itself? They watched curiously, until suddenly they realized that grass was a Pokémon!

An Oddish appeared!

"Dieter! Scratch!" Barbie said without hesitation. Totodile shot forward from the grass, dropping the wad he had in his mouth. His little claws started to glow white and attempted to scratch at oddish face. Sentret was cheering on totodile, her cute tail going up and down on Barbie's shoulder while it cheered on totodile. "Sen-tret! Sen-tret!"

"Ooooodd?" the Pokémon looked questioningly at the Totodile as it came down with a Scratch. "Oddish!" it cried as the gator's claws cut into its body, sending it reeling backwards. It hopped back onto its little feet angrily, its leaves bristling with a light green glow as it used Absorb on Dieter. The super effective attack dealt heavy damage, and nearly returned Oddish to full health. Bouncing happily again, the little weed seemed to taunt Barbie and Dieter, shaking its little leaves from side to side and hopping from foot to foot.

/Bar, are you a fool?/ Barbie heard Barry's voice in her head, criticizing her fighting technique as she picked up her almost fainted totodile. For some reason, Barbie thought that Dieter was invincible. And to be fairly honest, Dieter thought so too. Sentret had stop cheering and stared at her friend, concerned.

"Let's go Sentret." Barbie said, holding totodile in her hands. Sentret nodded and jumped off Barbie's shoulder, glaring at oddish. Barbie scanned sentret to see what her moves where and nodded to herself.

"Use scratch!" Barbie yelled, ignoring defense curl. Absorb was a special attack, so raising sentrets defense would do nothing. A question similar to that was on the final exam. Besides, sentret had a fairly decent special defense, and had no weakness to grass.

Oddish took Sentret's Scratch harder than Dieter's thanks to Sentret's Adamant nature and the same type attack bonus he got from Scratch. The Oddish let off another Absorb, draining Sentret's energy as well, but with less effectiveness than it had with Totodile. However, it was easy to see Sentret would tire before the Oddish if they simply traded blows with Absorb restoring its foe's health.

Barbie saw that the battle was not in her favor. So she tried something new. "Sentret use foresight and then scratch!"

If it were to work like Barbie planned, sentret would see where oddish was going to attack on her body, and dodge it when the opportunity arises. But for the mean time, sentret attacked first with scratch.

With Sentret's heightened senses from Foresight, it was able to not only land Scratch perfectly for maximum damage, but also dodge the Oddish's counterattack. Sentret continued to weave and dodge as it landed its attacks with precision.

The Oddish gave up on Absorb and used Sweet Scent, hoping to trick Sentret by luring it close with the lovely aroma. Sentret got in one last Scratch before Oddish distracted it with Sweet Scent. The little weed Pokémon was on its last leg and would only manage to stay in the battle if it could get off another Absorb.

Barbie noticed a pleasant aroma in the air, coming from oddish. The pokemon was using sweet scent and sentret was being lured in by the smell. Barbie saw oddish concentrating on sentret, barely looking at her, so she hoped to surprise it and catch it while it wasn't moving. She took out an empty pokeball and threw it.

The weakened and distracted Oddish was swallowed up in the bright light of the Pokéball. It shook once... twice... three times! The wild Oddish was caught!

Barbie took in all three of her pokemon into pokeballs and jogged to the pokemon center. It was getting dark out, so if Barbie wanted to do everything she wanted, she would have to act fast. She came into the pokemon center and waved at Nurse Joy. "Hi. Is it ok for my pokemon to be healed?" Barbie said, handing her pokeballs to the lady with curly pink hair. She had saw Daphne leave earlier but both were too distracted to really say anything.
