Gym Battle 1! Chapter 4!

We awoke to a beautiful morning with singing Pidgey in the background. I opened up my zipper door to see if Emerald is awake. Her door was down too so I’m guessing she likes to wake up early. I step outside of the tent and see her near a small pond and see her washing her face with a adorable Pokemon. I pulled out my Pokedex to scan what it is and it revealed that the little creature is called Skitty. “Hey, good morning Emerald!”, I shouted. She quickly pointed her blackish colored Pokeball and said, “hey you scared me! I guess you finally got to see one of my Pokemon by accident.”. “Yeah it was a cutie, I’ve never seen one before. I’ve seen many Pokemon through books but not all of them.”. She giggled and ran up to me and muttered, “so…… what’s for breakfast and what is the plan”? “Hold that thought on breakfast. For a plan I want to go against the General’s Gym”. She looks at me and says, “are you serious?! With a Mudkip you are asking to get your butt kicked”! “You be surprised on what I’m capable Emerald. My Mudkip isn’t an ordinary one. It has been bred through generations of strong and talented Swampert”. She pictured actual bread in her mind then giggled about the idea of it then realised what I was talking about then blushed a bit before walking off to the tent to get her stuff.

We ventured off to the Vermilion City Gym and noticed a tree blocking our way. A little sign says you should use HM01 (Cut) to get through. I shrugged and picked Emerald up and jumped through the branches unharmed. She looked at me amazed to what just happened. “How did you do that?”, asked Emerald. “Lots of training.”, I steadily muttered to compose myself since I had no idea how the hell I did that.

When we stepped inside the Gym, there were 3 weird trainers just standing there in between some trash cans and the door behind us locked up with an alarm. They were ready. I walked up to the closest one and he yelled, “you dare challenge me?! You will die from the hands of a Juggler!”. Confused, I jumped back and waited for him to send out his Pokemon. He brings out a Magnemite, level 16. “Mudkip I choose you! Overcome your weakness to become the best!”, I shouted in excitement. I tell Mudkip to use Dig and immediately the Juggler had a grim look knowing that he was doomed. He gave Magnemite Defense X to increase his defense in exchange for his attack command. Mudkip came out of the ground and smashed into the poor little guy and managed to beat him with one hit. Mudkip was a gift from Grandpa so he gained extra experience to go straight into level 12. Pissed, the Juggler brings out a shiny new Ultra Ball which contained a shiny Voltorb. He ordered it to use Thundershock which severely hurt my Mudkip. Down to his last drop of energy, I tell mudkip to push even further and use Waterfall to smash into the damn thing to make it faint thanks to hitting its weak point which resulted into a Critical Hit in competitive terminology. Shocked, the trainer gave up and conceded to give us our first victory on Kanto soil.

The next trainer was a child that looked like he is from a different region. I walked up to him and immediately he threw his Love Ball that contained a rodent that I’m familiar with, at least from my region. His only Pokemon he had in his trainer roster is a Dedenne, level 18. My level 13 Mudkip was ready by commanding him to use Iron Tail, his 4th move. As dumb of a move it was it did ok damage which left it open for a finishing move. Dedenne was given the command to use Thunderbolt. As the youngster laughed his butt off, he looked shocked to why Mudkip lived. “I’m prepared for this Gym. I gave Mudkip a Focus Sash to catch you cocky electric type users off guard. Now Mudkip use Dig and smack him hard!”, I yelled in excitement. The trainer didn’t know what to do so he ordered Dedenne to go into the hole Mudkip dug and chase it with Nuzzle. In a panic, I gave Mudkip the instruction to get out of the hole and use water gun to flood the hole. Dedenne launches itself at Mudkip and ordered him to give it all he’s got because if that Nuzzle touches, it’s all over for us. Mudkip gave it his all and managed to push Dedenne off course, forcing itself to fly into the ceiling and fainted on impact. Mudkip gained enough experience to become level 15 for his huge effort in taking out such an opponent. Frustrated the trainer tossed the ball into the trash and disowned the poor guy. Emerald quickly grabbed the ball in tears wondering how trainers can treat their Pokemon like useless tools. The Pokemon referee threw a red card at the trainer and banned him from competition for 3 years for the offense for dishonorable conduct stacked with abuse towards a Pokemon. He flipped him off and was never seen again.

I felt sorry for the poor Pokemon and I can see how hurt Emerald was by the way she was snuggling the ball. “Do you want to keep it Emerald?”, I softly asked. “No… it deserves a trainer that is willing to go all out for the Pokemon. Besides I already have a full roster and don’t have a PC system set up yet and you have 5 slots available on your belt”. In concern I took the ball and pushed the emergency claim button to make the Dedenne join my team for good. “For now I’ll hold onto the Dedenne. When your PC system ever gets set up, I’ll gladly trade it to you so you can raise it yourself”. In delight she shook her head and wiped her tears and gave both Mudkip and Dedenne a Super Potion. Now off to the last trainer.

The final trainer was another youngster that looked unfazed to what just happened. I walked up to him and he offered to challenge me. I jumped across the playing field and tossed out Mudkip from his ball to prepare for the last battle. The youngster brought out a Pikachu, level 13. I ordered Mudkip to use Waterfall but was quickly interrupted by the youngster’s Quick Attack. It hurt but Mudkip was able to land the Waterfall to almost knocking it out. The trainer used Quick Attack again only to fall victim to another successful Waterfall to finish the match. “What was with the strategy? You could have easily knocked out my Mudkip!”, I shouted. “You saved that poor Pokemon. It’s the least I can do for a honorable trainer like you. You deserve to face the General. Good luck”. He offered his hand and shook before walking up to the door that leads to General Surge.

Puzzled, both Emerald and I got close to the door and it wouldn’t open like the entrance door. A screen lit up and read, “If you want to proceed beyond this door, you must find the two keys hidden under the trash cans. If you click on them in order you will unlock this door to face the Gym leader”. “Emerald I don’t want anything to happen to you. Head back to the entrance and wait there just in case something goes wrong”. She nods her head and says, “ok, but make sure nothing happens. When you are done with the General, I want to jump in and battle him as well.” I lift my fist up to give each other a fist bump before she took off to the entrance to wait there.

Thanks to my hearing, I was able to pick up the sound of the first switch because of its blinking red light making a faint sound. I clicked it and immediately heard a button slip up for me to find but this time it became a proplem. It didn’t make a sound so I actually had to guess where the next button is located. Out of random I checked the trash can behind the one I originally checked and found the button. I clicked it and watched as the security system that locked us here in the first place deactivate with the door slowly moving apart. “I did it Emerald! When I’m through with the General I will let you know so you can battle him too”. “Sounds good!”, in a excited tone.

“So you are the trainer that wants to battle me! You have got to be kidding me. Let me guess your region got blasted to pieces because the militia didn’t heed to my warning about the government?! I can recognise a foreigner from a mile away! As long as I am alive, my military instincts will protect mine and the other mainland regions from certain destruction! Now boy, show me what you got!!!”, shouted by General Surge. “When I defeat you, you must tell me where I can get a lead to track those scumbags!”, quickly after his statement.

The general only had 1 Pokemon in roster to go against my two, Mudkip level 15 (close to 16) and Dedenne level 18. The referee blows the whistle and calls for the General to reveal his Pokemon. He throws his beat up Pokeball to bring out Raichu, level 20. I decide to open up with Mudkip. “Raichu use Thunderbolt!”, yelled the General. “Mudkip use Dig!”, in a nervous voice. Thunderbolt landed to knock Mudkip down to his last drop of energy. The General decides to use a Defense X in exchange for his attack command. Mudkip’s dig smacks right into Raichu and surprisingly lands a Critical Hit, a record high for one day for him. “Alright Raichu give him Iron Tail to finish him off”! “Quickly Mudkip use your own Iron Tail to take him down”!

CLANG! A loud metal sound erupted and see that Mudkip has been hit right on the abdomen while Raichu got hit on the head. Both of them fell down to the ground hurt with a loud whistle soon afterwards. “Mudkip was hit first before landing his hit on Raichu. Raichu wins due to landing his attack first. Mudkip is out for the match due to injury while Raichu is indicating that he can continue the match.”, explained the referee. In sadness, I return Mudkip back to his Pokeball and kiss the ball before grabbing my new partner for his debut. “Go Dedenne!”, I shouted. Shocked, General Surge didn’t expect to see that kind of Pokemon used against him. “Raichu is too weak to get hit by a healthy Dedenne, especially if he uses Thunderbolt. Crap… this kid was ready.”, muttered General Surge. “Use Thunderbolt to finish off his Raichu Dedenne!”, I shouted. A huge bolt hits Raichu with a blinding flash. When I looked the poor guy was fried with the green flag waived towards me to indicate that the match is over and I’m the winner. “Yes! We did it!”, in excitement. I quickly gave Dedenne a hug and Emerald runs up to me and says, “congratulations! Now it’s my turn to fight him”! Scared, General Surge decided to take her challenge tomorrow rather than now to give Raichu a good day’s rest. “Here is the Thunder Badge. You will need this to compete in the league. Now then I will give you the information you need by taking you and your girl friend for lunch”. Emerald and I looked at each other and blushed and both said that we are not dating, we just met each other. He chuckles and in a smart tone he says, “yeah. That’s what they all say”. He puts his arms over our shoulders and walks out of the Gym to go mooch off the Pokemon Center’s complementary food. END

For those that are reading along, Gym chapters will be longer than the regular chapters to go into more depth and so I don’t split off the plot for another day. I hope you enjoy the story as I plan on releasing a new part every day!
