Pyro marveled at the Kakuna, who stiffly stood across from Firebrawl whose shadow loomed over it.
"Cool!" he yelled with a faint squeal of joy as ran towards the Cocoon Pokemon and knelt down on both knees, "A Kakuna! I never seen one of those! Can it do tricks?"
The Bug Catcher blinked, "What?"
Pyro pulled out his PokeBlock case and pulled out a red PokeBlock, "Sit!"
The Kakuna stood motionlessly.
Pyro tossed the block at it and shouted, "Excellent! Play dead!"
The Kakuna simply tipped over and rolled slightly with his head pointing towards Firebrawl, who impatiently tapped his clawed feet. Meanwhile, a couple blood vessels in the Bug Catcher's bulged as his face slowly turned a deep crimson. He grabbed the sides of his hat and pulled the edges down towards his ears. Had there been a PokeFlute lodged in his head, the whistle could be heard all the way to Lavender Town.
"GET ON WITH IT YOU NUTCASE!" he screamed before taking several deep and rapid breaths. By now a bunch of lads, campers, a hiker, and even a black belt gathered around the pair (though they wisely kept their distance from the...highly eccentric... Pyro.)
"Oh," Pyro murmured absently and blushed a little as he scurried back. He flashed his silly grin and nervously chuckled, "My bad! Firebrawl?"
Firebrawl nodded, "Blaze!"
"Flare Blitz 'im!"
"Kakuna!" The Bug Catcher shouted, "HARDEN! HARDEN!"
Too late, before the Kakuna could even react, Firebrawl sprung up into the air. His wrist erupted in flame as a fiery sheath surrounded him; he dove towards the ground fists-first and unleashed an explosion that tossed the Kakuna back. It bounced off the ground twice before it rolled to a stop at the Bug Catcher's feet. The charred Kakuna's eyes were almost hypnotic in their stunned indifference, which was a giveaway sign that it fainted. A glowing aura around Firebrawl flashed momentarily, showing off his Speed Boost ability
"Kakuna, return," the Bug Catcher ordered as he recalled the Kakuna and grabbed the other Pokeball on his belt, "Let me show you my ultimate Pokemon!"
"Is it a Scyther?" Pyro asked, "Oh! A Volcarona! Or maybe a Heracross!"
"Go Metapod!"
Pyro tilted his head, "A Metapod?"
"This is not just any Metapod," The Bug Catcher boasted, "My Metapod is in the ninety-ninth percentile of Metapods!"
Pyro blinked, "Are you sure you're not talking about Rattatas?"
"What? No!" The Bug Catcher replied, "Use you ultimate move! HARDEN!"
Pyro blinked again and glanced at Firebrawl, who only shrugged back.
"Hi Jump Kick?"
Firebrawl leaped into the air again and brought his foot down on the Metapod like a hammer. The impact created a crater and kicked up a cloud of dust that took a few seconds to clear and revealed the final result of the non-battle. Despite the Bug-type's resistance to the Fighting-type move, Firebrawl's Hi Jump Kick knocked out the Metapod in one hit.
"Nooooooo!" The Bug Catcher cried as he dropped to his knees and cried (not so) manly tears over his stunned Metapod, who he promptly recalled, "My Metapod! All those countless nights we spent perfecting Harden, wasted!"
"Say, that was fun!" Pyro yelled when he suddenly appeared behind the poor Bug Catcher, who yelped in fright, "We should exchange PokeGear numbers. We could go camping, roast marshmallows, maybe swap a couple ghost stories..."
The Bug Catcher screamed loud enough to be heard from Viridian and Pewter and chased a flock of Pidgeotto from their roosts in the branches above. Then he ran away from Pyro as fast he could and quickly disappeared into the bush. Pyro looked to the assembled trainers who slowly backed away, and then bolted off. Pyro shrugged it off and recalled his Pokemon, save for Mr. Spook and Loki, before he trotted off with the Gengar following him from behind. Clapping the empty coconut husks together.
(Y'know, this makes me wonder if the trio will encounter a stampede of trainers who are trying to get as far away as they can from Pyro.
)
