***In the last episode, Blake was making his way to Viridian City***
===The Next Day===
Blake had finally reached the entrance to Viridian City. The Pokémon center was directly to the left. He ran to the entrance and bolted into the door.
"Hello! I'd like to get my Pokémon healed!" said Blake to the nurse.
"Are you the kid with the Squirtle?" said the nurse.
"Yes, that's me!" replied Blake. "How'd you know?"
"Professor Oak said you were coming. He said you were the first one to recieve a Pokémon." said the nurse, in a pleasing voice.
"Oh, I see. By the way, my name's Blake!"
"Nice to meet you! My name is Nurse Joy!" said Joy. "Let's see your Pokémon, I will heral them right away. Blake took the Pokéball containing Squirtle, and gave it to Joy. She took it into the minor care unit.
==20 minutes later===
**Bing, bing, binga BINGGG!**
"Hello, Blake! Squirtle is healed and ready to go!"
"Thanks, nurse Joy! I guess I have to be going now!"
"I hope to see you again!" yelled Joy, as Blake headed outside of the door.
Blake looked around at a town map. He decided he would head to the grassy area just right of the city.
When Blake got to the grass, he searched for a suitable Pokémon, wading and combing through the grasses. He came to a clearing and saw a Pokémon foraging...
..."Alright! A Sandshrew! This will be no problem for Squirtle!"
"Squirtle, go!" Blake unclipped the Pokéball om his belt and threw it next to Sandshrew. Squirtle appeared, with a fierce look in his eyes.
"Squirtle, tackle him!" the Sandshrew got ready to dodge the attack. Squirtle charged at Sandshrew. Sandshrew curled up into a ball to escape the attack. It worked, and squirtle landed in the sand. Sandshrew uncluled and ran at Squirtle. Squirtle braced himself.
"Squirtle! Get ready, he's going to try and counter attack!"
"Squirtle!" Squirtle just stood there, waiting for Sandshrew.
"Squirtle, what are you going to do?!" Blake said.
"Squirtle, Squirtle!" It looked like Squirtle had a plan, but what was it? Squirtle opened his mouth, a massive spray of water came out og his mouth. It knocked Sandshrew back into the ground.
"Wow! I don't think you're supposed to know how to do that yet!" Blake checked his Pokédex;
"Squirtle learns Water Gun after it has had lots of experience. This Squirtle learned the attack earlier than usual."
"Alright! Squirtle learned Water Gun!" Blake shook his head. "Oh yeah, I almost forgot! Sandshrew was laying on the ground, trying to get up.
"Pokéball, go!" Blake threw an empty Pokéball at Sandshrew. The Pokéball locked around Sandshrew;
=Tickitatickitatickita...TSSSSHHH!=
"Yes, I have a Sandshrew! Great job, Squirtle!" Blake jumped up and down a couple of times, and went to pick up the Pokéball containing his new Pokémon. He minimized it and hooked it to his belt.
"Squirtle, return!" Blake held out Squirtle's Pokéball, and Squirtle jumped into his Pokéball.
