I spent the next few hours practicing Bite against a tree. It was easy enough to master. All you do is open your jaws, and then clamp them down on the target. Before long, I had found a new way to get apples from trees. If I bite them hard enough, the tree falls over. I made a mental note to not do that too much, because it would destroy the tree.

Next, I moved on to Roar. This one was much harder, because it wasn't a physical attack. All I managed to do was hurt my throat a little. I decided to rest, and try it again later.

As I lay down, I saw a Vulpix nearby. It was practicing its Ember attack. I watched with interest. When it was done, it lay down and started to lick its paw. I watched, strangely mesmerized. It was almost as though I was in love with the Vulpix. I mentally shook myself. I couldn't be in love with a Pokémon. Pokémon didn't even exist. I was a human! Suddenly, the Vulpix looked over to me. It started walking in my direction. It stared at me the whole time. When it reached me, it stopped walking but continued to stare at me. I stared back. The Vulpix then looked away and spoke. It said "Try bringing it out from your stomach," and then left. I stayed there, confused, wondering what she had meant.

After a while, I started trying to use Roar again. I failed. Then, I remembered what the Vulpix had said. She said to 'Bring it out of your stomach'. I decided to take her advice. I gathered energy from the core of my stomach, and released it in one mighty blast. I started coughing. All that happened was that I got a cramp. I didn't even make a sound. I tried again. This time, I exhaled a cloud of smoke. It looked like a small Smokescreen. I laughed. I knew that Growlithe couldn't learn Smokescreen. That was what had made it comical. I tried again and exhaled another cloud of smoke.

I gave up for the time being. I thought to myself 'At least I learned Bite'. That was my last thought before going to sleep.
