(I just figured that despite describing him as hotheaded in sign-up, I've mostly portrayed Tyson as being careful and somewhat timid. >_> I'll try to make him seem more aggressive in the future, and I'll just say he was nervous at first, because he had no experience with raising Pokemon.)
The setting sun colored orange the grasslands of Route 2, through which a brown-haired young man with a green shirt was walking.
A poochyena was walking on his right, and a mankey carrying a pichu on his shoulders on his right. Some twenty feet above them, a pidgey was flying, and a weedle was crawling a few feet behind after them. This group was none other than Tyson and his Pokemon, and they were looking for Pokemon to fight with.
"Hey Sverre," called the boy, who stopped walking, "I was thinking, maybe we should try fighting the gym leader of Higurashi village." The mankey grunted and nodded enthusiastically, thrilled at the idea. "But I doubt he'll be a pushover, we'll need some more training first." Sverre let Lutfi down from his shoulders, and started a war dance, to signify his eagerness to become stronger, with a smiling Lutfi imitating him cheerfully. Ulrica and Altair kept on looking for wild Pokemon to fight, Toukka just ignored everything.

In the distance, a Corphish walked toward the pond, a Bidoof following from far behind. In the sky, a group of Spearow flew overhead, heading towards Route 1.

Altair spotted the group of Spearow, but decided against intercepting them, taking into consideration that two of his allies were at a disadvantage against flying types, and another was a new-born child. After a few minutes of continued scouting, he spotted the Corphish up ahead, and flew back towards his allies.
Tyson watched Sverre and Lutfi in their mirthful dancing, and "That's the spirit! We'll all get stronger and beat that gym leader! And why not the Elite Four while we're at it?" he proclaimed. The mankey grunted in agreement, and got into a pose that suggested much confidence, which Lutfi imitated cheerfully. Ulrica, who just came back from searching a few feet away from them, barked in excitement as well. Toukka was as uninterested as ever, and just looked away from everyone.
At this point, Altair landed on Tyson's shoulder, and started chirping aggressively, while pointing his wing in the direction of the Corphish. "You found an opponent for us?" the boy asked. Altair nodded comfirmingly, and flew towards the Corphish, the boy following him, "Let's go, guys!". Ulrica lifted Lutfi onto her back, and she and Sverre gave chase. Toukka didn't care much about his annoying teammates, and just followed slowly, leaving himself somewhat exposed to an attack by a predator, such as a Spearow.
As the group came closer to their opponent, Tyson gave the order, "Give him a warning, Altair! Tell him we want to fight him!" The Pidgey chirped in agreement, and flew ahead, starting to chirp violently at the Corphish.

The Corphish turned to Altair, and let loose some bubbles, accepting the challenge.

The Pidgey blocked the bubbles by forming a shield with his wings, and landed on the ground. While this prevented most damage, the popping bubbles left a foamy substance on his wings, which made it slightly harder to move them. Altair jumped back a little, to create more space between him and his opponent.
At this moment, Tyson and the others (except for Toukka, who was in no rush) arrived. "All right Altair, we'll leave this one to you," Tyson said, the Pidgey nodded."Alright, tackle him," the boy commanded, and Altair complied, flying about a foot backwards and of the ground, before rushing forward in an attempt to slam into the Corphish.
While Lutfi, Ulrica and Tyson watched the match, Sverre went on to look for a opponent for himself to fight, and spotted the Bidoof in the distance. He ran towards it, while gibbering aggressively.

The Corphish was hit with the tackle, but got up quickly and countered with another bubble.
The Bidoof turned to Sverre, a lazy look in it's eyes, then walked towards the Mankey; lightly bumping into it.

Sverre nearly broke down into laughter at the Bidoof lightly bumping into him, but managed to contain himself. He figured that an opponent like this would give him no challenge, and when he looked back at his allies to see they were paying attention to Altair's fight instead, he quickly came up with a scheme to get some fun out of this.
He walked back towards the group, while ruffling up his fur to create the illusion that he had been in a tough fight, and gave the Bidoof gestures that suggested he wanted it to follow him.
Meanwhile, Altair tried to dodge the bubbles by flying to his right, but the foam already on his wings proved bothersome enough to prevent him from doing so succesfully, and the bubbles hit him on his chest. The impact caused him to fall on his back, but he quickly crawled on his feet again.
"Are you alright?" Tyson asked, the Pidgey nodded while shaking his body like a wet dog, removing most of the foam from in between his feathers. Relieved, Tyson gave the next order, "Try to get around him, and use a tackle on his back!" Altair complied, and flew a foot off the ground, then flew in a half circle around his foe, before charging in towards the Corphish.

The Bidoof stood still for a short bit, then followed Sverre rather slowly.
The Corphish turned around as Altair attacked, but the Pidgey was too fast. The attack hit, sending the Corphish rolling back about 2 feet. It jumped back up, launching another Bubble.

Altair flew about a foot backwards after the collision, where he sat for a moment. The Pidgey reached for his head with his wings, and let out a short moaning chirp. Apparently, he hit the Corphish a little too hard with his last tackle, and hurt his head on its hard exoskeleton. "Watch out, Altair!" his trainer yelled, to warn him of the incoming bubble attack. But it was too late to dodge it, however Altair still managed to guard with his wings, to prevent his head from further pain.
"You okay, buddy?" Tyson asked. The Pidgey nodded, chirping confidently while getting up. "Alright, try another tackle, from the side this time," Altair complied, and flew in a quarter circle around his foe. Here he feinted an attack for a second, but instead flew in another quarter circle, then charging in for real. This time, he would make sure to tackle with his body, instead of the head.
Sverre chuckled seeing the Bidoof follow him slowly. The Mankey figured that such an opponent could best be fought by someone slow, like that annoying Poochyena who wanted to fight in the Pokemon center of Kusamura.
He now reached his allies again, and started a gibbering frenzy, while pointing at the Bidoof. Tyson, Ulrica and Lutfi now diverted their attention from Altair's fight to him, and "What happened," the trainer asked in shock, "what kind of monster is that creature?"

The Corphish turned as Altair moved the first quarter, launching a Bubble attack, which missed the Pidgey as it's Tackle hit. The attack knocked the Corphish on it's back. The Corphish tried to get up, but it was stuck.
The Bidoof, just reaching the group after everyone turned, sat down and yawned. It then looked up to Tyson, simply staring as if lost in thought.

Tyson stared in awe at the Bidoof, who sat there carefree, without a single injury or other sign that he had taken damage, while his Mankey had arrived panicing, looking as if he had taken a horrible beating.
"W-what is that thing," he stuttered, getting out his Pokédex. "Bidoof, a Normal type plump mouse Pokémon. With nerves of steel, nothing can perturb it. It is more agile and active than it appears," the Pokédex stated. "That's gotta be a whole hell of a lot more active than it appears," the boy exclaimed, "if it can beat up Sverre like that!"
The Mankey had trouble containing his laugh at Bidoof's behaviour and Tyson's exaggerated response, but still somehow managed. He walked over to Ulrica, and got the Pichu off of her back and onto the ground. Sverre patted her back encouragingly, and gave a gesture that suggested it was her turn to battle the Bidoof.
The Poochyena gulped silently, staring in shock at her opponent's relaxed attitude. Lutfi stared blankly at her, wondering what she was going to do. After gathering her wits for a second, she gave Lutfi a reassuring look with a confident smile, who looked at her in amazement for her grace and courage. She bravely stepped forward, then started charging at the Bidoof at full speed in an attempt to tackle it. Sverre finally lost control, at began laughing aloud, Lutfi looked at him oddly for a second before putting his attention on Ulrica again, while no one else noticed it.
Meanwhile, Altair sat down to rest a little, while waiting to see if the Corphish would be able to get up again.

The Bidoof jumped into the air as Ulrica charged, barely making it over the Poochyena. It landed with a small 'thump' and 'jogged' at it's opponent with a Tackle.
The Corphish continued struggling to get up, trying to launch a Bubble attack at Altair. Being unable to fully turn it's head to correctly aim at the Pidgey, the Bubble only caused the Pokemon to turn itself slightly.

Ulrica kept on running even after the Bidoof had jumped over her, stopping about ten feet further on. There she turned around to see her opponent jogging towards her. She decided to meet her foe head on, charging at the Bidoof at full speed for another tackle.
However, Tyson then yelled "No, Ulrica! Dodge it!" The Poochyena tried to comply, coming to a stop. But it was already too late to dodge, and she got hit by the plump mouse's tackle on her head, causing her to fall over. Tyson smacked himself on the head, realizing he blundered, while Lutfi watched the battle in anxiety. Sverre in the meantime laughed himself silly.
Altair sat, watching the Corphish blow poorly aimed bubbles. He chirped soothingly, trying to tell the crab not to stress itself too much, and rest for a moment.

The Bidoof stopped as soon as it made contact and stared lazily at Ulrica.
The Corphish stopped, an annoyed look on it's face as it tried to look for something to help it up.

Altair, feeling he had rested enough to continue fighting, got up and flew over to the Corphish. He landed next to the crab-like Pokémon, and stuck out his right wing while chirping friendly, suggesting he wanted to help his opponent back on its feet.
Ulrica jumped up on her feet again, and looking at her opponent, she noticed the Bidoof's attack didn't leave as much damage as she though, and that she fell over moreso out of fear for her foe's supposed strength than the attack's actual impact. "Ulrica! Are you okay?" Tyson asked. The Poochyena looked over at her trainer and nodded, bewildered at the fact she was. Then, she saw Sverre rolling on the ground, laughing. She now realized he had tricked her into believing the Bidoof was a fearsome foe, and blushed knowing she fell for it so easily. However, she decided to think of a way to get back at him later, and just focus on fighting her opponent for now.
Tyson, now also believing the Bidoof may not be as strong as he at first thought, made another suggestion: "Alright Ulrica, try another tackle. And this time, feel no need to hold back." Ulrica nodded, and ran back about five feet back, before rushing at the Bidoof once more.
