Kai ran forwards towards route 3, avoiding Thomas. He saw the dangerous Beedrill, but these were no match for his Magby, who ignited the route in a powerful ember attacks. Soon, the Beedrill hive was destroyed. Reaching Mt.Moon, he found many trainers who wanted to battle him and defeated them, many were quite challenging, but Kai got through them. The many Zubats were annoying to him and he had Magby destroy each of them with flames. When they arrived at route 4, they made quick work of the trainers and proceeded to Cerulean City. Here, Kai decided he would not challenge the water type gym until his Pokemon were at their highest strength for the time being. Crossing the Nugget Bridge, he battled trainer after trainer. Tired with battling trainers, Kai looked for Pokemon to catch and panted, out of breath. He was a lover of fire-type Pokemon so he tried to spot only fire types. After a good while of searching, he found none. On the way back to Cerulean, he muttered many things to himself only to be stopped by a young trainer.
"Damm Charmander, you're just not for me. I can't train you...nor can I feed you. I'm going to need someone else to take care of you." The young trainer was wearing shorts and a cap. He yelled around the bridge to see if someone wanted the Pokemon but alas, noone did.
Then Kai stepped up. "I was looking for another fire type Pokemon for my team...give him to me!"
