Even at night, the streets on Celadon City were completely lit
up. Trainers were still up and about. Icy and Abra rode through the crowd on
Porygon. As they were going along, Porygon accidentally bumped into a trainer.
"Hey, watch where you're... Huh?" The
trainer looked down to notice the Pikachu riding Porygon. "Uh, don't you belong
to someone? You shouldn't wander away from your trainer. Of course, maybe you don't
have a trainer."
"No. These pokémon belong to me. The name's
Icy." The man didn't know weather to be shocked or afraid. "Hey, you
wanna battle me?"
"Uh, ok little Pikachu. How's about a one-on-one match.
I choose you, Dratini!" A cute dragon pokémon now stood in front of
Icy.
"And for my pokémon, I choose, myself! Go
IcyPikachu!"
"Huh. I guess that's fair. But don't blame me for
any injuries my Dratini gives you. Dratini, wrap him up!"
"Go thunderball!" Icy created an enormous ball of
electricity in front of him and fired it at Dratini. Dratini was shaken up, but not
beaten. Icy, on the other hand, was slightly weakened from creating the attack.
"Hang in there Dratini. He's weak, hit him with Hyper
Beam!" Dratini began glowing. Icy was frozen with fear.
"H-h-hyper beam..." Icy said nervously. Dratini
fired the beam with amazing accuracy. "Psyshield now!" Icy was too
late. Although his psyonic shield protected him from most of the blast, enough of
Dratini's hyper beam got him before the shield kicked in. Almost unable to move, Icy
declared defeat.
"Aw kid, it's not that bad. Nobody has ever beaten this
Dratini. Here, let me help you." The man took out a potion spray from his
backpack and used it to heal Icy.
"Thank you. Well, I guess I should be on my way.
Sorry for bumping into you."
Icy was about to leave with Abra and Porygon when the man stopped
him. "Hey. Wait a sec. What other neat pokémon do you have?"
"Well, I do have a Bulbasaur and Dugtrio. Why?"
"Ahh. I really love Dratini here, but there's just no
fun in winning all the time, know what I mean. Maybe it's time Dratini helped
someone else. How's about a trade, Icy? I'll give you my Dratini for your
Bulbasaur and Dugtrio. Since Dratini is so powerful and rare, I think two is a fair
deal."
"Well, I never really do get a chance to train them anyway.
Ok, let's trade!"
"You made a good decision." They traded pokémon
and went their separate ways. Icy released Dratini from its pokéball. It was
so cute. He had Dratini wrap around his head like a hat and rode off with Abra on
Porygon.
