Harmon readied his bag, stepping from Professor birches lab. He looked down at the red and white ball in his hand, turning it over as he walked towards the northern edge of town. As he approached the gate, he threw the ball into the air, spinning it as it popped open. A flash of light sprayed forth and his brand new Torchic sprang out. He had seen it in the lab, but wanted to wait to get to know it as they got underway.

"Hey there Torchic!" Harmon said as his Torchic turned to him, gave a chirp, and ran towards its new trainer, only to tumble over it's own feet and stumble to the ground.

"Yikes. You okay there little guy?" Harmon smiled as Torchic got to it's feet, before once again chirping out.

"Great. We'll be doing a lot together you and me, so lets get out there..." he said standing, and swinging his arm to point out to the path in front of him.

"And have the greatest adventure ever!" He yelled, Torchic joining in the high levels of enthusiasm, as they started to walk down the path.

The weather was clear that morning as the two set out, the sun high in the sky and the temperature fairly warm. It was easy to tell that spring was on the approach, and even though it had been raining a lot recently, it wasn't even chilly when the wind blew. Tailow cawed from their nests and as they soared above the route, hunting for Wurmple and other delicious prey. However, it wasn't long before Harmon found his first confrontation.

It was a female Poochyena at level eleven, stood right in his path. She was snarling, teeth chomping threateningly, saliva dribbling down fluffy chin. It was impossible to tell exactly what had bothered this doggy, but perhaps she just had a severe attitude problem...

Harmon slightly recoiled as the Poochyena jumped from the grass. His torchic had an even weirder reaction, tumbling straight onto it's back. It kicked its legs with futility, trying to stand back up. Eventually Harmon had to sit him up.

"Lets try this again." Harmon said with a slight sigh. He took a slightly pumped stance, torchic following suit (or at least trying to.)

This poochyena looked pretty mad. So mad in fact it would probably rashly charge at them. That would be their best opportunity for an attack. All harmon and torchic could do was wait for poochyena to make a move.

The Poochyena's red eyes narrowed with wicked amusement as Torchic fell over, proving itself to be easy prey. It howled loudly, pumping up its attack power before doing exactly as predicted: it rashly belted forward, aiming for a tackle attack at the fire bird. Of course, given its level, there wasn't much else it could do offensively unless it had any egg moves. So long as the pair didn't do anything stupid, the battle could be a simple and easy training exercise.

There was probably a few meters in between the Poochyena and Torchic, and that gap was just about to close. Just as Poochyena dashed forward, Harmon issued a command.

"Quick! Jump up and then use scratch!" He yelled. His torchic quickly understood and made a quick jump straight up. Those feet, while clumsy, were pretty good at jumping about a foot or two. As he slowed, torchic put his foot forward, aiming to land on the poochyena. If he landed on him, he would aim a scratch at his head.

The Torchic was small and clumsy, but it was sure as hell agile. There was no way Poochyena was going to be quick enough on her stubby paws to catch it, nor even evade it. It cried out as the claws dashed through fur and caught her sensitive ears, retaliating with a vicious sand attack. The dirt splashed at Torchic's eyes, lowering his accuracy whilst bringing an opportunity to get out of the way. Wheeling round, it attempted another tackle at the starter.

The sand whipped up in torchic eye. Not plural, singular eye. He had been facing poochyena with his left side when the sand attack hit. Torchic tried to get a better view of poochyena out of his other eye, while the first one cleared.

"Try to get in for another scratch when he tackles." Harmon yelled. The poocheynas attack would hit, but only barely, not knocking torchic completely away. In fact, on his way to the ground, he made an upward scratch at the poochyena again.

Poochyena was glad that the attack hit, but it wasn't good enough. She whimpered as her sensitive nose was struck with Torchic's claw, this time getting another tackle in close range, sending the bird rolling across the grass. Her health had taken significant damage, but now she was seriously ticked off and acting more ruthlessly than before, once again bounding off to teach the Pokemon a lesson.

Torchic didn't look like he could take much more of this... and they had only just begun their journey. "Come on torchic! I know you can do it! Try and pull out one last scratch!" He yelled. Unfortunately, torchic could do little else than scratch, so as poocheyena dashed towards torchic, he would bring up his claw for one last attempt.

Poochyena rammed into Torchic again, but as before, the claws caught her in the face again. Her health was teetering on the edge of the red, but not quite there yet. It was clear that Torchic was faring a lot worse than the opponent, and Harmon really had only started his journey. What was he going to do?

Harmon clenched his teeth as torchic bounded back. He couldn't take another hit like that. He had to somehow employ a one two punch. There was a tree. That would work. Harmon knew his torchic was more agile, so he came up with a plan.

"Torchic, run over to that tree. And wait!" He said. Torchic began to bound for the tree about a foot away, stumbling a little.This wasn't good. Torchic could barely walk, how would they pull this off?

The Poochyena seemed to smirk, growling through visible, bared teeth. She waited, letting the Torchic take his position and face it, a rather sadistic move on her part. Finally, it bounded forward again, intent on taking the bird down once and for all.

Harmon immediately reacted as the poochyena bounded forward again. "Torchic! Use your jump and scratch combo!" He yelled. Torchic, in sync with his trainer attempted to jump again. This time, if he dodged, the poochyena would essentially be headbutting a tree. That would hopefully bring him down in the red. Another aimed scratch would hopefully finish him off. This was the crucial move.

It was indeed the crucial move, and a clever one that worked wonders. Poochyena went head first into the tree, whining as it tried to move back, dazed and clumsily stumbling about. She already had a headache from the failure, but the scratch cleared her health out. The pup keeled over, knocked out. and Torchic gained eleven points of experience, raising his level by two! Torchic was level seven, and learned Focus Energy!

Torchic looked up and chirped in a victorious bout. This was good. The leveling up brought up Torchics health a little. He was really winded, but ultimately okay. As Littleroot was farther away than the the nearest town, Harmon decided to bring him forward towards Oldale town, soon coming to the gates. He was there.
