Use a Potion!

Quickly pulled out a potion, I called Chikorita to my side and quickly administered the medicine, watching as the bruises and scrapes almost instantly disappeared on her skin. Looking across the field, I could tell my opponent wasn't expecting me to use a potion, and he was seething with anger. Chikorita immediately rushed back into the melee, and with great strength was able to take down the rest of the Cyndaquil's health.

I had won!

The dark-haired man let out a groan of anger, tossing a few dollars to the ground as he returned his Cyndaquil.

"I am not sure how you were able to beat me so easily, but that will not happen again." With a flourish of rage, the dark-haired man rushed back to Cherrygrove, and disappeared into the crowd of people.

With that, I returned Chikorita and picked up the money he owed me for defeating him. What a total jerk!

I would have to ask Elm about that later if and when I called home, but couldn't dwell on those thoughts now.

With my resolve strong, I was ready to move on!
