**Fight Fire With Fire** is the seventh episode in the *Starter Squad* series.

## Plot

Charmander is seen in an encounter with afromentioned Cool Trainer Gaven, and his new Pokémon, Flareon. Gaven can be seen trying to catch Charmander, but fails. Charmander attempts to bite Flareon, whom throws him off his face at Gaven's command. Gaven tries throwing another Poké Ball, which Charmander knocks away. Flareon prompts Charmander to attack him, and Charmander commands Squirtle to use Bubble. Flareon simply dodges the Bubble, and laughs. When he comes to, he notices a missing Charmander, only to be seen with Squirtle in her hands. Squirtle goes in his shell, and is thrown by Charmander, whom commands Bulbasaur to use Vine Whip, a move Gaven taught him. Squirtle is hit with Vine Whip, ricocheting off Bulbasaur's vines and hitting Flareon, leaving him vulnerable. Charmander can be seen running at him with a stick, doing a battle cry as he does so. He pins Flareon to the ground, and sticks the stick in his neck. Charmander commands Squirtle to use Bubble, and is super effective due to Flareon being a fire-type. Flareon attempts to threaten the squad. Commanded by Gaven to use Bite, Charmander commands Squirtle to use Bubble again, Squirtle hesitates, but does so. Charmander prompts Squirtle to use one more Bubble, and Squirtle is met with a text that reads, *"FLAREON used BITE!"* Doing so, he feels guilty for attacking out of turn, and Charmander gets angry at him. Still attempting to Bite, Flareon complains that it's his turn. With Squirtle failing to use Bubble, Charmander instead pushed the sitck further into Flareon's neck, and he screams in pain. Charmander, angry at Squirtle, gets hit by a Poké Ball, and gets stuck inside it, giving a pissed off Flareon a chance to attack Squirtle. Charmander breaks out of the ball, and yells, *"Bulbasaur! Backup plan!"* Bulbasaur complies, and knocks Flareon's Poké Ball out of Gaven's hands, and into Charmander's. Looking intimadating, Gaven runs away, leaving Flareon. Being scared, Flareon begs for mercy, and Charmander scolds him for not being able to look after himself, and sets Flareon free, before destroying his Poké Ball. Charmander tells Flareon to go away, and he complies. Squirtle, being proud of Charmander, praises him, but an angry Charmander goes off at him for not finishing Flareon off with one final Bubble. Squirtle explains the the rules of fighting in the Pokémon world. An angry Charmander goes off at him, saying, *"NO ONE tells ME how I'm SUPPOSED TO FIGHT!"* With that, an argument rises, with Bulbasaur trying to defuse it, but with no avail. Bulbasaur, now backing up, is almost grabbed by a glitched MissingNo. Charmander & Squirtle continue to argue, with Squirtle suggesting they find a trainer to let them be better, Charmander gets provoked and attacks a panicked Squirtle, whom gets in his shell. With a final hit on his shell, Charmander throws his shell at a tree, whom Leader Caterpie and two other Caterpies fall out of. The two of them run off, leaving Leader Caterpie to deal with the three starters. Leader Caterpie throws a Poké Ball at the ground, and a female Nidoran, named Whiskers, emerges out of it. At the sight of Charmander, she freaks out, leading Leader Caterpie to hit her to get her to be quiet. At the mention of using Poison Sting, Bulbasaur gets in the way of Charmander so he could be hit with the move. Bulbasaur gets poisoned then and there, and Charmander starts to chase Whiskers, while Squirtle talks to Leader Caterpie alone, and that leads him to getting caught, which alerts Charmander, allowing Whiskers to poison him. Leader Caterpie calls Whiskers back and sticks to the bottom of a Butterfree, with the afromentioned, deceased Trainer Red's backpack. Poisoned and on the verge of fainting, Charmander falls to his knees, while Bulbasaur goes on trying to "comfort" him. Charmander faints then and there, with his last words being, *"Shut-! Urrkkkhh! Shut up Bulbas- SsSssaaaaghhh..."* Squirtle is taken to the Caterpie tunnels, where he would be trained for the next two episodes. Leader Caterpie gives Squirtle a nickname, being called "Bluey." The episode ends with Squirtle being poisoned, and Leader Caterpie saying, *"Let us begin."*
