"See that, Spritzen?" Nora stood up from the fountain, looking at her pokemon. "You're going to do the same thing, tackle!"
The magikarp just splashed in the water.
"Oh..." Nora bit her lip.

Soran offered. "Maybe we just need to do it over and over until Spritzen realises what it means. Once more, Tackle!"
This time, the Skitty rushed closer to the fountain, hitting another can.

"Are you paying attention, Spritzen." Nora reached out her to splashing pokemon. "You need to learn this move so you can fight in the gym battle." She looked back at Skitty. "Skitty's doing an excellent job in demonstrating. I know you can do it too!" Looking at Spritzen, she clenched her fists in determination. "Come on, Spritzen! You need to build those muscles, tackle!"
The magikarp stopped splashing at Nora's touch. It's blank expression burrowed in focus. "Karp, karp!" It wiggled forward, an attempt really to do anything except the instinct to splash, but it was a start.

"There you go, Spritzen! Keep at it!" Soran called brightly, giving commands for Skitty to keep using tackle. Skitty seemed to certainly enjoy knocking cans back and forth.

"Tinte, make a few bubbles." Nora looked at her little Horsea. The little pokemon happily called out before forming a few bubbles in the air. "Alright, Spritzen, use tackle on those bubbles!"
The magikarp wiggled forward more, a bouncing little hop toward the first couple bubbles, but he didn't falter. He wanted to make Nora proud. Eventually, Spritzen had a successful tackle on one of Tinte's bubbles
"That's it!" Nora squealed in delight.

"See? There you go! You'll be tackling your way through the first badge in no time!" Soran chuckled, as his Skitty finally stopped tackling, only to chase her tail wildly once more.

Nora suddenly hugged Soran. "Thank you!"
"Karp! Karp! Karp! Karp!" Spritzen happily kept tackling Tinte's bubbles, perfecting the move.

Soran gave a noise of surprise at the hug, face heating faintly, before he hugged her back quickly and cheered. "No problem, Nora! That's what friends are for. Besides, what's a battle when Splash is your only move? Now Spritzen can fight with the others."

"It'll still be a tough battle, but we have more of a chance now." Nora smiled and let him go. "It's ok to only use two pokemon, right?"

"It'll still be a tough battle, but we have more of a chance now." Nora smiled and let him go. "It's ok to only use two pokemon, right?" "Yep! I asked around for that too. Dan has two Pokemon he uses for the gym, and the first gym has only a maximum value, not a minimum one. It's a two pokemon maximum, but you can use one if you only have one." Soran explained.

Nora nodded and looked determinedly at her pokemon. "Well, I'm going to use both Tinte and Spritzen!"

"Good! I'm going to use both my Pokemon as well. Oh, did I tell you? I've given Petilil a nickname. Flora. Planning on nicknaming Skitty too. I'm thinking "Rascal" or "Dasher"." Soran tapped his chin, as Flora spun her leaves proudly at her lovely name.

"Flora's a great name!" Nora smiled back at him, but looked at the Petilil. "A pretty name for a pretty pokemon!" She then looked at Skitty, giggling at the pokemon's energy. "I guess those names would fit her."

"Aw, you'll get her dancing again." Soran snorted with humor, as the kind words indeed got the Petilil spinning with appreciation. He watched his Skitty chase after her tail and decided. "Dasher. She chases her tail faster than she runs in battle."

Nora giggled lightly. "She may grow out of it. OH!" Spritzen suddenly splashed out of the fountain and at Nora, jumping into her arms. She barely had the reaction time to catch him. "Oh, Spritzen! You're an attention hog!"

Flora danced out of the spray of water, leaping back onto Soran's shoulder, as Dasher gave a squeal and tried jumping up at Spritzen. Soran smirked. "All 3! All 3 of you are attention hogs!"

"Oh!" Nora tried backing up when Dasher jumped at Spritzen, but she ended up falling back on her butt, a laugh escaping her throat as Spritzen wiggled happily in her arms. "What am I going to do with you?"
Tinte happily cheered from the fountain.

Soran laughed loudly, only to whip his head around with surprise as he heard the sound of nearby battle. He heard a few loud noises, and looked curiously at Nora.
Finally, a man wearing a black bandanna dashed from behind a building, his Meowth gripping a purse tightly in its teeth. An older woman shouted after the running man, and Soran realized it was a robbery. His eyes widened, and he gripped at Nora's wrist.
"We gotta get that purse back!"

"What?!" Nora stumbled when Soran pulled her along, Spritzen still in her arms and Tinte still in the fountain. When she saw what was happening, her eyes widened. "What could we do?!"

"It's two against one, and that lady can't catch up. We can't just let that theif get away!" Soran begged, breaking out into a run and calling after the theif. "Hey! Stop!"

Nora bit her lip but ran after Soran, Tinte jumped out of the fountain and bounced after them.

The theif turned and cursed with annoyance. "Stupid kids! Meowth! Fury Swipes!"
The Pokemon placed the purse down and lunged towards Soran and Nora, claws extended. Soran was quick to order to Dasher. "Dodge! And use Attract!"
The man growled, and sent out another Meowth, this one pouncing towards Nora with an aimed Bite Attack.

Nora jumped back with fright when the second meowth jumepd at her, but Spritzen jumped from her arms and aimed a tackle attack at the meowth, protecting his trainer.

The two Meowths were sent flying back, both landing on their paws woth deep hisses. The theif gave a growl of annoyance. "Who the heck are you two? Go home to your mothers, you children! Use bite!"
The Meowths leaped as one, teeth bared. One landed a bite on Dasher, and Soran gasped. "Flora! Help out with Absorb!"
The second Meowth dashed at the Magikarp with a yowl.

Spritzen flopped on the ground. Nora's eyes grew wide with worry for her pokmeon, she acted on instinct. "Spritzen, dodge by splashing into the air!"
The magikarp used splash to jump itself into the air.

The Meowth gave a yowl of surprise, looking up quickly.

"Now tackle down on it, Spritzen!" Nora shouted.
The magikarp angled in the air aiming to hit the meowth.

The Meowth scrabbled to dodge, but tripped on a stone, yowling as it was hit by the tackle.
Flora and Dasher were already defeating the Meowth, and the theif was beginning to sweat with panic.

Nora took a deep breath, she couldn't believe that worked! "G-give...Give back the purse!" She shouted at the thief.

The theif glanced at his yowling and bristling Meowth and gave a deep grunt of annoying. "Alright, alright! Arceus above, take the stupid purse!" He threw it squarely before Nora and Soran and broke into a run, his Meowth hissing and chasing after him.
Soran gave a blink of surprise before he cheered with delight.
