Chapter 11: Ch10- Pewter City Gym
I was right in front of a Huge Rock-type Gym, I walk inside to register my challenge timings.
"Your challenge is scheduled in the afternoon, please come by 1:00 pm"
'Now I have time till afternoon.' "Riolu can you teach Scyther the move Endure, I think it will be of some help against Brock."
"Riolu Lu"
I was thinking of using Scyther against Onix. The only way I could make Scyther to have complete trust in me is to battle something huge and destructive. In that regard, what better than Onix can beat the word destruction.
We trained a bit till afternoon and entered the gym. I took my spot and
"Gunn from Pallet town is here to challenge the Gym leader Brock."
After I said that, all the lights inside the gym turned on and there he was, standing exactly on the opposite of where I stood.
Very young, he looks around my age. spiky brown hair, tanned and quite tall.
"Pallet town huh? Guess this is your first gym, and the rules will be...wait a minute!!! you are the kid that proposed a new theory to the league??"
I nod at his question.
"I am very much interested in your theory, hope we can have a good chat after the match. You see, I am an aspiring pokemon doctor and am thinking to hand over gym duties back to my father."
"Sure, and I am honoured that you read it. I read the rules and I have come prepared Gym leader Brock, it will be 2 vs 2 and no switches or potions allowed."
"let's start then, Geodude you are up first". A rock with two muscled hands appears in front of us, it was around half a metre tall. I then threw Riolu ball
" Riolu come on out."
"A Riolu huh? Second time seeing one of those, a very rare pokemon and I see that you have trained it well.
"Thank you"
" Riolu start with Screech."
"Geodude Rollout." I should finish this early as each turn the power of rollout doubles. Screech hit Geodude and subsequently rollout hit Riolu.
"Riolu Work up and then bullet punch."
"Keep up the rollout Geodude."
'Ahhh this is gonna be a problem', Bullet punch hit Geodude but doesn't seem to hurt it much as rollout was negating some of the power.
"Riolu use Rock smash over and over again."
"Lu Lu Lu Lu Riolu"
Riolu unleashed a barrage of Rock smashes. "Keep them up till Geodude stops."
Geodude hit her every now and then but after multiple hits from her, Geodude's defence was falling apart.
As expected of super-effective moves that lower defence, they are the best against these kinds of pokemon. Geodude crashed and fell to the ground while Riolu was panting for breath.
"Nice one Gunn, next one will be not as easy as this one. You are up Onix."
A giant chain of grey boulders that became smaller towards the tail was looking at us menacingly. It had black eyes and a rounded snout. On top of its head is a rocky spine.
"Riolu you need to be careful, we need to inflict as much as damage possible so that it will be easy for the next one replacing you."
"Riolu lu"
'My plan was to use Screech and then lower defence using rock smash. I am sure its defence will fall to single digits.'
"Riolu, give your best Screech and then Rock Smash."
"Onix disrupt the screech by protecting yourself from Rock tomb."
'Shit, gym leaders are on a whole other level. I think I am being too dependent on screech. At least Rock smash worked on Onix.'
"Riolu hop on Onix. Pummel it with rock smash and bullet punch, keep them up as much as you can."
"Lu Lu Lu Luuuuuu"
'Onix body was shining every now and then on the spots where his rock smash hit, that means his defence is getting lowered.'
"Onix dig, take Riolu with you"
'Shit Shit'
Before I ask Riolu to jump away, she was taken inside. She could not hear me no matter how I shout. After a few moments, Onix came out with Riolu. Riolu was so weak that it couldn't even stand.
"Riolu return, nice job and take a good long rest", As there is no switching of Pokemon, this means Riolu lost. It's all up to Scyther now, Riolu already did a lot of damage and not to mention lowering Onix's defence.
"Your Riolu did a great job, It's been a long time since I had a good battle, Release your second pokemon."
"Thanks and Scyther you are up next."
" A Scyther, very surprising that you can even command it. They have bad tempers and very hard to control unless you are a veteran." I ignored Brock's comment
" Scyther remember my promise, your opponent is a huge rock type and I told you that you will be able to beat any pokemon regardless of type, I hope you give me your full trust after winning this."
Looking at the giant rock, Scyther flinched but after hearing what I said, he was rejuvenated. Now he was overflowing with courage. "Scyther Scy"
"Agility first, boost as much as you can."
"Onix, Rock tomb."
Scyther used agility and dodged the incoming rock tomb with ease.
"Scyther try to get as close as possible and use pursuit."
agility + Scyther base speed + pursuit
they were too fast and Scyther was unleashing them left and right.
"Onix, Iron tail on Scyther. Wait for it to get close and then release it head-on."
'Shit'
"Scyther agility and use everything possible to Endure."
Although Scyther did not learn Endure yet,
Riolu gave some tips regarding the move. I hope it can bare this one attack as Scyther still did not receive any damage.
Onix hit him head-on with Iron tail and I was waiting for this moment, Onix's head was right above Scyther and it was in an awkward position to dodge it.
"Scyther, Steel wing straight on top of Onix's head."
Scyther gathered steel energy and flew with a supersonic speed. Brock was surprised by steel wing and did not have time to utter a command. Onix collapsed down with dust clouds floating all around.
"Good job Scyther, you were really great." Scyther gave a happy look at me as if acknowledging me as his trainer. I returned him to Pokeball for now.
"That was a great match, Gunn. This is the proof of your win here." He gently hands me a badge. I put it in the case and we visited the Pokemon centre for healing. After that we chatted for quite a long time regarding pokemon food, nature and breeding.
After he left, I released both Scyther and Riolu to show them the Boulder Badge. They were ecstatic and we had a great party that night.
'Next, we need to cross Route 3, Mt.Moon and Route 4 to reach Cerulean City.'
