On Route One

[Hammittian]

Ryou, having finally recieved his first Pokemon at the laboratory, started his journey along Route One.
"Alright, Kybar. Come on out," he said, tossing the Poke'ball skywards.

The Onix appeared in a flash of bright light, his body slowly taking form as he exited the confines of the Poke'ball.
"On, onix."
Ryou grinned and patted the rock-snake on the nose, then turned and beckoned for him to follow.

"We're never going to beat the first gym without some training," he began, "So let's get going. The name's Ryou."

"Onix onix, on." <Alright then, let's go."

There seemed to be running around up a head. Do you want to go and see what it may be?

[Hammittian]

"Onix onix, nix on?" <Do you want to go see what that is?>
"Hmm?"

Ryou had to glance around several times to see what Kybar was talking about, but nodded once he noticed the movement.
"Yeah," he said, "Could be some good training."
"Onix..."

Kybar slithered forward, ahead of Ryou, and poked his head through the grass, wondering what was there...

_{The pokemon jumped a little bit before then shooting a water gun at the Onix's face with sort of narrowed eyes. It was a squrtile. And clearly, the large head had taken the much smaller pokemon by surprise. Though, the smaller pokemon also seemed to be sort of mad about something or another.}

Kybar withdrew quickly, shaking his massive head to and fro, attempting to shake the water from his face.
<That hurt!>

"Hey, it's a Squirtle," Ryou commented, a little late. "It'll be hard, but do you want to battle it?"
<Yeah, sure. Like you said, I'll need some training.>

"Okay then," Ryou said, pointing at the Squirtle, "Try a tackle attack!"

Kybar nodded and lifted his massive form halfway off the ground, then lunged downward, towards the squirtle.

_{The much smaller pokemon then quickly moved out of the way of the larger pokemon. "Squrit!" said the Squritile before then sending another Water gun towards the other, with the same sort of, angered exspression on it's features.}

"Duck!"

Kybar threw himself further to the ground, causing the Squirtle's water gun to barely skim the top of his head.
Without waiting for another command, the Onix bolted forward in abother tackle attack, this time not bothering to raise his body off the ground--that was, quite obviuosly, too slow to hit his opponent.

Ryou scratched his head for a moment, but watched his Pokemon battle without comment.
He seemed to know what he was doing, afterall.
