Zoran chuckled when the little Eevee appeared to be afraid of Coal. He couldn't imagine anyone seeing the little Charmander as menacing, but when it was an even smaller Eevee, anything was possible... "Thanks!" He said in response to her compliment. "I think he may be the only one like him in the world!" Of course, that meant that his color was some sort of genetic mutation, but he was fine with that. "Your Eevee is really cute too!" He bent down to scratch behind Lucky's ear in a show of friendship. He listened as she explained her philosophy on her first battle. Honestly, he thought she was being a little too modest, so he shook his head. "I don't think so." He said, looking down at Lucky with a smile. "I think he's stronger than you realize."

When Rosey explained that she was headed to Viridian City, Zoran nodded his head. "We're headed that way too! It would be nice to have some company! When she pulled out her Pokedex in order to take a picture, Zoran looked down at Coal. "Whadaya say, Coal? Ready to be on the cover of Magazines?"

Before Coal could answer, he and Zoran both turned in the direction of the two approaching Rattata. "Coal use Scratch!" Charmander went in on the attack, but the speedy Rattata managed to duck out of the way, and retreat. It then switched targets, attempting to go in and attack Eevee instead. "Tail whip, quick!" Charmander's long, scaled tail easily knocked the Rattata away from Lucky, forcing it to stick to it's original opponent. The angry rat then went in to tackle Coal. A critical hit! Knocked back on it's back, it was clear that Coal took some damage from that one. "Don't give up, Coal! Give it another Scratch attack!" Charmander lunged in quickly with extended claws, and slashed rattata, dropping it to the ground.

It seemed the two were victorious! "Excellent!" Zoran said, taking out a potion and spraying Coal down as he fed him yet another treat for a job well done. Lucky had managed to take out it's opponent as well. "Those bites look pretty bad. Do you need a potion for Lucky?" he asked. Once they were all treated, they would begin walking once more. The path to Viridian City wasn't a short one.
