our protagonist is walking in a market and observing the price of many different goods like berries, fruits, meat. So that he will have more knowledge in the value of currency. After that he decided to visit the battle arena that he heard in the people in market at the back of the trainers guild. When he arrive at the battle arena he saw a few trainers battling, some trainers that is not battling is also saw him and decided to approach him
"Hey! A new face, did you just arrived in pallet town" ask the bald man with scar on face
"Yeah" replied Lawrence calmly
"So i was right! By the way my name is Ted, I was the training instructor in this battle arena, if you want ask questions you can ask me" said Ted
"Can i battle someone here?" Ask Lawrence
"Yeah you can you just need to pay 50 copper coins a day to use the battle arena" said Ted
"..I need to pay?" Ask Lawrence
"Yes you need to! Who do you think will repair the battle arena for free, if you want an all out battle without paying anything then you can do it in the wild" replied Ted
"..hmm..looks like this is not the only reason they do it..maybe this was also to encourage people to go to the wild, clever by doing this many people will want to go in the wild than to battle here, and that trained the trainers in wild environment" thought Lawrence
"..here 50 coppers" said Lawrence while handing a pouch containing coppers, now he only had 2 silver and 10 copper coins
"Oh! Then who wants to fight the newcomer" shouted Ted
"Let me test the guy" said an average looking man
"Oh! Okay then" replied Ted
"What kind of battle do you want? Is it only a pokemon battle or we fight as well?" Ask the average looking man
"How about we fight as well" replied Lawrence
"How many pokemon do we used?" Ask the man
"Oh only 1 pokemon" said Lawrence
"You guys done talking then go to the center of that arena and fight" said Ted
So they go up the empty arena and face each other
"Go ratticate" said the man as he took his pokeball and release his pokemon
*ratticate* 2 and half feet brown mouse with big teeth was released
"Samantha go" said Lawrence as he released Samantha
"Hmm..looks like Samantha grow up a little, anyway show me that ratticate stats" thought Lawrence

*ekaans....* Samantha inhale
"Not so fast use quick attack ratticate" said the man
*Ratticate* Ratticate have been surrounded by white light and run left and right , its so fast that it shorten the 15 meters distance for 2 seconds, Samantha was hit before she even exhaled the poison gas
"So fast! In that case.." thought Lawrence
"Samantha use poison sting like usual" ordered Lawrence
*Ekans* Samantha spit countless poison needles that was dodge by Ratticate
"Haha! Your ekans doesn't know how to aim!" Said his opponent as he saw Samantha miss poison sting by a large margin
~~
Outside the arena
"Hahaha! That ekans is funny it can't even aim properly" said a random spectator
"Hahaha! Your right" said another spectator
"Hmm..they just don't get it, that was a good strategy, and for poison sting to stuck in that arena means that his ekans have been train well,because for poison to become that hard means his ekans have great control over poison, looks like the newcomer is good" thought Ted as he heard the spectators laugh
~~
Back in the arena
"Wait!!...the arena!!" Thought Lawrence's opponent as he notice the arena have been covered with countless poison needles
"Y-Y-YOU...this was your plan all along..How?" said the man while Ratticate is losing place to run
"I train my Samantha well and I feed her with many weedle poison sac to make her poison denser..though i waste many, because it's hard to kill a weedle without breaking its sac" replied Lawrence
"Don't think this battle is over..Haaah!!" Shouted his opponent as his opponent been covered with brown light
"Magnitude!!" Shouted the man while stomping his foot hard in the arena, then the arena have been shaken and the poison needles all broke, not only that the vibration also hit Samantha and Ratticate and even Lawrence
"Ughh! He's a ground cultivator, but...he's not that strong his magnitude range only covered the arena" thought Lawrence
"Haha! How's that your poison is nothing to me a ground cultivator" said the man while sweating hard
"..hmm looks like that was your trump card as you looks like you can't use that many times" said Lawrence while he wipe the blood that flow down his mouth
"Shut up! Your injured and that is important, now Ratticate quick attack and aim your attack to that trainer"
*Ratticate* Ratticate then quickly attack Lawrence ekans tried to stop but because the magnitude have injured her badly so she was slow down and wasn't able to stop Ratticate, when Ratticate was about to hit Lawrence he smirk and cross his arm to block the attack
"Harden" said Lawrence as he was hit and pushed greatly by Ratticate, he groan and was about fall down but Lawrence spin and grab Ratticate
"Strength" shouted Lawrence as he use the momentum of the spin to throw Ratticate toward Samantha
"Samantha use bind" shouted Lawrence
*ekaaanns* Samantha catch Ratticate and coil around it tightly
"STOP!! THE BATTLE IS OVER LAWRENCE WIN" Shouted Ted
"Uggh! I was careless" said Lawrence opponent
"Yes you are right, if you didn't let your guard down when you saw his ekans missed her poison sting, you wouldn't need to use magnitude and you would not be this exhausted, and by the way this is only a spar why be this serious" said ted while scratching his head looking at the 2 of them
