The next day Iset off. I had no idea where to go, but just as I was thinking about it, aRatta jumped out of the tall grass. Oh boy! I exclaimed Cyndaquil, attack!Cindaquil! Alright Cindaquil, Ember that rat!  Cyndaquil launched tiny sparks at Ratta, which left him a littledazed. Poke ball, go! The poke ball sucked Ratta in, and it went ping rightaway. Alright! Cyndaquil! After that little battle, I went to the nearesttown, where I got my Pokemon healed. On my way out, I heard a weird rustling. Ilooked around until I saw a Mareep on the outskirts of the city. It lookedwounded. But when I got close it got up and growled at me. Ok, you wanna playhard to catch? Go, Cyndaquil! Cydaquil! Ok Cydaquil, ember it! Cydaquilshot sparks again and knocked Mareep back, but Mareep still limped at Cydaquiland tackled it. It then fell over, limp. Oh no! I said. I gotta get him tothe Pokemon center! I ran back to the Pokemon Center, and the nurse tookMareep to the emergency room. 2 hours later(Phew!) he came out good as new. Thenurse tried to let him go, but he seemed to like me. Why dont you keep him?she said. I agreed and Mareep went happily into the poke ball. And thats how Icaught Ratta and Mareep.

Did you know?: If you picked Chikorita, you might wantto go ahead of Violet city and catch Mareep. Train it till it learnsThundershock and you can beat Falkner in a snap!
