Drake took his first step out on to Route 301 and excitment exploded in him. Elekid by his side was also ready. They both jumped in the air while shooting fists in the air. When they landed a man came from a patch of grass. He looked well dressed like he was out of place in the outdoors. He approched Drake and Elekid with a pokeball. "With the sight of you and your pokemon you look like your new to this whole thing." Drake nodded. The man threw the pokeball up and down in his hand. "Well, do you know how to catch more pokemon?" Drake nodded. "Yeah, you battle them untill they're weak then you throw a pokeball at them and they'll catch, usally." The man looked a little shocked that he knew that. "Most kids that frist come out here and forget how to do that. I'm gald you can hold your own in this world. Good luck." The man walked back into the grass. Drake looked at Elekid. "That guy was weird." Elekid nodded.

Dark and Shuppet had finally came out of town. Her lavender eyes taking note of everything around them.
"Whatcha think Shuppet?" she asked her pokemon, casting a side glance at it.
Shuppet simply stared at her then gave a small sound of approval.....or was it disapproval? Oh well, Dark figured that Shuppet would be happier when it's night time. She still felt happy about getting Shuppet since he was a ghost type like Haunter. Her eyes landed on a figure up ahead of them.
Realizing who it was she shouted," HEY DRAKE!"

Drake whirled around to see Dark. "Hey, Dark. You got a shuppet. That's cool!" Drake studied the floting pokemon. It's body looked as though it where nothing but a balloon trapped by a cloth. Though this balloon had a horn or a tall lump of some sort. He then looked to Dark. "Hey, I think we should get to training. I've already seen some pidgey and sentret. These bound to be more." Drake looked to his left and saw a Phanpy. "Look, there's a Phanpy!" The little elephant then ran off. "See there's all kinds of pokemon to see and to catch." Drake then got an idea. "Hey, Dark..." Drake then gave a glance over to her Shuppet. "Whould you like to battle?"

Dark was unsure of the whole battle thing...,but they needed to get better somehow right? She looked at Shuppet who stared at Drake readily to accept the challenge.
"Should we Shuppet?" she asked queitly for her pokemon to hear.
Shuppet looked over and gave her a nod while it's eyes turned menacing and looked over at the enemy.
"Alright Drake," she started," We accept your challenge."
He was her rival and she wouldn't let him win. She didn't want Shuppet to disapprove of her so early on in the adventure.

Drake stood back some to give the pokemon room to fight. Elekid stood in front of Shuppet with some space inbetween. Elekid was posed and ready to strike. Sparks emitted from its plug. He was ready. Excitement ran through both of their veins. "Elekid, remember not to use phiscal attacks on it. It's a ghost type!" Elekid nodded. "Now, use a thunderbolt attack!" Elekid's plugs eurpted in electricaty aimed right at Shuppet.

"SHUPPET DODGE!!" Dark yelled out as fast as she could. She didn't really expect him to remember about ghost pokemon. Shuppet had barely missed by an inch, if it hadn't moved as fast as it could it would have been electrocuted.
Narrowing her eyes in concentration she commanded Shuppet," Shuppet, use Will-O-Wisp and be on guard for a returning attack just in case!"
A blast of fire came from Shuppet as he sent it toward Elekid.

Drake's eyes widened. "ELEKID DON'T LET THE FIRE TOUCH YOU!" Elekid moved as fast as it could but the flames licked his body a little leaving a small singe mark on it's side. "Elekid, are you alright?" Elekid stood in a battle pose while saying. "Ele!" Drake assuming that he said, "yes" proceeded onto the battle. "Use quick attack to get around!" Elekid began to run around shuppet in weird patterns so he could not be read. Drake was planning something so he needed to play the evasion game for just a minute longer.

"What the---?" Dark said caught off gaurd. She'd actually never really remebered this attack, shoot she couldn't even keep up with Drake's Elekid. Reaper, shuppet, seems to be calm to her as if it knew what it were doing. Oh, she just came up with it's name being Reaper so Dark hopes it'll like the name but that'll be another time.
"SHUPPET, KEEP YOUR GAURD UP AND BE PREPARED!" she commanded in a prideful tone as she sorta worried about the attack.

As soon as Drake saw that Shuppet wasn't going to move he made his move. "Elekid, dive in with Quick Attack and then use Thunderbolt!" Elekid stopped and charged right at Shuppet with a fist full of electricity. With Elekid amazing speed Drake came up with a name for him. Bolt. But he'll tell that to Elekid later. Right now he had to be focused on the battle.

Dark wasn't to happy with the way the battle was going. She never really studied the electricity type much. That was why in school the teacher always had gotten mad at her for not studying all types of pokemon like she should of. Now she regrets not listening to the teacher.
Then it clicked in Dark's head. Ghost pokemon can fade away so that others can't it hit. She remembered her dad saying that about Haunter and all ghost pokemon.
"Shuppet fade now so that the attack won't get you," she said in a panicked tone.
Shuppet immediately faded away, the sun with it's shiny self also helped in that affect. Shuppet soon appeared in a shadow near a tree.
"Shuppet, Use Will-O-Wisp again!" she commanded a bit relieved from shuppet dodging the attack. That was until she narrowed her eyes.
There, a burned spot could be seen on shuppet's body. On the right side below the chin.
'It had hit him,' her mind raced,' but he had gotten away before any real good damage came. I don't think Shuppet can dodge that attack again if it happens.'

Elekid had fallen and looked for Shuppet. When it appered and attacked he never saw it coming and was hit by the toxic burn. Elekid was suffering from the burn. "Elekid you can hold on can't you?" Elekid nodded and stood with pride. Drake couldn't let shuppet fade again. "Elekid charge toward Shuppet with Quick Attack and then jump!" Elekid ran fast towards Shuppet and then when he was also in the shadow of the tree he jumped into it's branchs and disappred.

Dark wondered what the heck Drake was doing. The Elekid he had just disappeared which caused her to panic. Her mind was trying to calm down and survey what attacks he could do while hiding. The only problem was she might zone out soon. Normally she would love to soon out, but at this moment it wouldn't be a good thing.
Shuppet had also panicked but showed that he wasn't afraid of what was happening. In fact, he was waiting for the Elekid to come out. Waiting for it to show itself. If only he could get his trainer to think dark thoughts or at least be in envy.
Dark didn't say anything as she was confused by the whole ordeal. She was pretty sure that shuppet was on it's guard so there was no need in saying it.

Drake was smiling. Elekid was hopefully going to do what Drake was thinking. And so he did. Elekid was scaling down the back side of the tree so the Shuppet couldn't see it. Drake's plan was working out great. When the Elekid saw that Shuppet was staring up at where he jumped and it's back was to Elekid it struck. "NOW! Jump on it." Elekid jumped on to the Shuppet. "ThunderPunch quick!" Elekid released a massive amount of electircal energy.

Dark felt her heart stop as she saw at the last second; the last second Elekid jumped out and attacked. She couldn't do or say anything in time. Once the punch connected with Shuppet's back, it sent him flying away as electricity ran throughout his body.
He landed in a pile of heap near Dark's feet. She nearly cried out when she saw Shuppet not getting up or moving. Getting down on her knees quickly she picked him up gently, and I mean very gently. Shuppet didn't even stir from being moved or when Dark touched him.
The proud pokemon just simply stayed still. She's going to have to reach the town and go to the pokemon center for Shuppet. Not saying anything, Dark carefully moved and got out Shuppets pokeball. She returned him to his rightful place and stood up.
Placing the pokeball in her backpack, she stood. Looking at Drake with her dark purple eyes, she suddenly bowed.
"Good job for winning," she said quietly," Now if you'll excuse me, I'll be on my way to the pokemon center."
Dark turned toward the direction of the town and started to run. She didn't care if her legs got tired or if it took a bit to get there. She'll run all the way if she has to for her pokemon. Though, her eyes went into a bit of a daze as she ran.
Even in the daze, all she could think about was Reaper, her Shuppet; wondering if he'd be alright, if the pokemon center will treat him right. All that matters to her now is to reach the town.

Drake and Elekid were very excited that they had won, but the way that dark acted as she congatulated him something nipped at his soul. "What if I really hurt it." Drake allowed that thought to float around in his head. He knew that he'd feel this way a lot. He'll have to toughen up, but if the opponent showed saddness he'd feel bad. So he'll have to do something to make it up to Dark. Drake had to think of a plan.
