On your way out of the exam room an employee hands you three Pokeballs. "Please continue to arena 1 in the park across the street. Your opponent will be Lieutenant Surge of Vermilion City. Thank you for participating in our test and good luck."

Your Pokemon are:
Houndour
Sunkern
Slowpoke

As you arrive at your designated arena you hear the last trainers score. "You got guts kid I'll give you that, 40. You gotta learn when you've reached your limit. Things may be safe here in these friendly matches but out in the field sometimes you gotta know when to go on the defensive. I'll see ya around kid. NEXT!"

As you step in the air feels charged somehow. It's almost uncomfortable but nothing you can't handle. A tall man with a number of medal's pinned to his chest calls to you. "Hey Kid. "I'm Lieutenant Surge from Vermilion. Lets get this fight started." He throws out his own Pokeball revealing a Voltorb. "Just toss em out when you're ready kid."
