Snippet #1634161

Route 4

Sleeping soundly as the sun rose with the new day, Alice and Dante both stuck close under the warm sheet. They managed to tough out there first night out without any problems.

Suddenly Alice felt a tap on her head, causing her to squirm in her sleep. She sat up and rubbed her eyes still sleepy; she opened them to find two beady eyes staring down at her curiously.
“Gah!” Was the only sound she made before she jumped away from the large yellow head that seemed to follow her motions.

A Level 5 Bellsprout Appeared!

During the commotion, Dante was rudely awakened from his sleep “Char…” Dante noticed the lanky Pokémon and it staring down his trainer. “Char!” Dante growled at the intruder and attacked with Scratch, mistaking it’s curiosity as endangering his trainer.

The Bellsprout stumbled back from the attack, not expecting it in the least bit “Bell…” It shook out of its shock and backed away slightly realizing what kind of situation it was now. It readied it’s vines to defend itself it needed. They cracked, trying to intimidate the chimp.

Alice, noticing she was still on the ground, stood up to better instruct her Pokémon to fight, “Alright, Dante use Scratch again but be careful of its vines!” In the mean time she whipped out her Pokédex to take down the information on the new Pokémon.

Dante happily complied with the request and headed in for another attack. But the Bellsprout countered by slamming its vines into Dante’s head, pushing the small Pokémon out towards its trainer. Bellsprout danced happily, its large yellow head leaning to the side on its lanky body. “Bellsprout bellsprout~” It chanted in an innocent manner.

“Dante, you alright? I told you to watch out.” Alice wa obviously worried and wasn’t up for another visit to the center so soon.

Still determined Dante rose back on his feet, the impact didn’t do much damage but it was the surprise attack that sent him flying off his feet “Char!” He wasn’t happy about the Bellsprout’s gloating in the least bit, which made him want to beat down the plant even more.

“Alright, lower its defense with Leer! Then follow up with Scratch!” Dante, already glaring at the Pokémon, sent another harsh glare in the sprout’s direction. Bellsprout froze in its dance, caught in Dante’s leer, leaving itself open for an attack.

Dante rushed in and clawed at it fiercely, sending it back a few feet and tumbling over, earning a haughty laugh from Dante “Chimchar, chim!” The Bellsprout wasn’t happy about it though “Sprout…” It launched its vines in an attempt for a Vine Whip

“Alright, let’s try and move this along. Use scratch again!” Alice instructed, striking the air with her fist suddenly. But she hadn’t noticed the incoming Vine Whip to instruct Dante to dodge; he had already started to charge for the Pokémon.

Luckily he dodged the attack and landed a successful hit on Bellsprout but was then sent flying forward from the vine whip returning back. Bellsprout hit Dante away again and started to run with a obvious limp, not having fun with this fight anymore.

Alice clenched her fist and stomped the ground unhappily, “No way, it ran!” She sighed, figuring that’d be the end of the battle but Dante wasn’t having it and ran after the runaway. He wanted to see this fight to the end and had the need to see the Bellsprout laid out on the ground defeated.

Slowly, but surely, closing in on the limping Bellsprout, Alice decided to try for another attack “Alright Dante, catch Bellsprout and use Scratch!” Dante was ready to use a great amount of energy into this strike, not going to let this go easily.

Bellsprout was easily caught up to, being overpowered with his finish blow. The Pokémon wobbled from side to side, a dance if you saw it incorrectly, and slowly boogied down to the ground, fainting.

Dante gained exp!
Dante grew a level!

Dante threw his head lightly in the Bellsprout’s direction with an angry huff. Alice approached her companion and scooped him up in her arms happily; he crawled up to his usual spot on her shoulder
“Good job Dante, you did really well. We’re lucky it didn’t know any poisonous moves.” She scratched his head lovingly; his sour expression turning into one of content “Char!”

Alice looked back to their campsite which they had wandered from pretty far. “Well let’s go pack up and we’ll keep moving. I recalled the ferry isn’t too far ahead.” The pair headed back to their camp and packed up to return to their journey.
