Karl was about to say something, but he was cut off. He followed them around, though was jealous about Eevee evolving into many forms. He healed his Pokemon, and went back to their 'group'. "You never asked my name...", he grumbled. He "lost" every battle he won! How could that be acceptable! Ugh... he'd have to battle that Joey if he went to Route 1, so what about South? Silently, he made his way to Route 22, hoping to teach his Pokemon new moves. Suddenly, a Krabby appeared, putting a grin on his face. "Go! Bulbasaur!", his Starter went into battle against the Crab Pokemon," Use Vine Whip!" The Krabby deflected it with Vice Grip, then used Bubble. "Dodge it, Vine Whip again!", he commanded. The Krabby did the same thing. "Oh come on! Use Tackle, then!", Karl ordered. The Bulbasaur gave a glare to his trainer, then charged. It knocked back the Krabby, fainting it. He laughed," I never thought a battle would be this easy!" Suddenly, his PokeDex gave him an alert. "Hm?", he said, opening it up. "Your BULBASAUR learned LEECH SEED", it read, making him hug his Pokemon out of glee. "Now, to Viridian City!", he said, marching with his Pokemon. He decided to send his Nidoran out, and continued. To his right, he saw Archer sleeping... He thought about it," I guess you could sleep in a forest..." Karl brushed the thought off and marched off. His Nidoran pulled on his pants. "Huh?" It lead him to a clearing. He unpacked his backpack and found a sleeping bag. Not before long, he drifted asleep.
