Capítulo 108: PWA 108 Homura's First Gym Battle
Now, that only left a single person remaining, he looked anxiously on every direction with scared expression on his face, erstwhile his mouth also didn't stop muttering intelligible speech as his body is trembling in fear.
Sigh...
Looking at his disappointing appearance, I then took a look at the six swords strapped on my back.
At first I am thinking of having a one on one duel with him with my swords against his.
But now, looking at the pathetic appearance of the only man left behind by his dead teammates, I just shakes my head in disappointment.
Not even me when I am alone with my baby frog Pokémon which is currently more of a burden than a help at this moment are this scared when facing a swarm of Yanma.
Now when he is also alone..., errr., not truly alone though, he still have a lot of Pokémons, both his and his teammates's still left alive and kicking around him to help him deals with the swarm, but even then he is already cowering down in fear like a loser dog.
Sigh, I stored back my swords to my ninja pouch that have a capacity as spacious as the regular trainer's bag.
No need to dirty my sword with the blood of a pathetic loser like him.
I don't even bother taking out the needles I have stored in a compartment on my belt nor the kunais and shurikens on the pouches strapped on the same belt.
Picking up a stone from the ground, a tiny pebbles the size of a quail's egg, I throw the stone and it hit the last man right on his left eye.
The last remaining stalker of mine immediately screamed in pain as he clutched on his eye socket that are now bleeding so profusely.
And of course, all the wild Yanma around that man immediately swarmed over him and submerged him under their masses, spelling the end of his pathetic existence.
I left the scene after making sure all of my kills are clean, taking out all the evidence (my thrown weapons) from their bodies as I continued to erase my presence to avoid the swarm and get out of there quickly.
.....
After that, I left the place and finally arrived on the town in the evening.
Without wasting any more time, I immediately come to the place that are selling out the teleportation service from their Psychic Pokémons to get me immediately teleported to Cupcake City.
Yup, I plan to make a living by becoming a Pokémon Trainer and challenges the Nine Gyms and the Big Five like any other Pokémon Trainer out there.
And the first gym on my list to be challenged would be of course the Rock Type Gym on Cupcake City.
I didn't even bother searching to catch a second Pokémon and immediately entered the Gym that is famous for being the weakest Gym for all the newbie trainers to have as their first time.
With my Pokémon being of a Water type, I thought it will be an easy win for me against the Rock type Pokémons in this Gym.
I can't be anymore wrong on my guess.
With the Gym Battle Format of three versus three, that means I who entered the Gym with only a single Pokémon must win against three Pokémons chosen by the Gym Leader.
As I send out my Froakie to the battle arena, the Gym Leader who happens to be Catwoman with a petite body but a mature look in a geisha get up send out an Onix to fight against my Pokémon.
The first battle is already so difficult with my newly trained bubble frog Pokémon against a big sized Pokémon whose entire body is made up by solid rock, I am only winning due to the type advantages of my Water type Pokémon have against the Rock type ones.
On the second battle, the Geisha Cat Gym Leader send out a Water and Rock Type Corsola that make my Froakie lost its type advantage against its opponent.
Fortunately, that Corsola, although it have quite a sturdy body, but its movement speed is comparably slower than my Pokémon that have trained on the way of ninja.
And thus, I and Froakie finally made our win using the speedy hit and run tactics to gradually wear down our opponent with our strikes while dodging most of its attacks.
The Gym Leader is complimenting us with her praise for our tenacity to hold out so far against two of her Pokémons, even though we both know that those two are clearly holding themselves back to match their powers against the Pokémons owned by the newbie trainers who challenge them.
But she warn me to get prepared as she said that the third and final battle against her will be many times more difficult than the previous two rounds combined.
And true to her words, on the final round, the Gym Leader let out a Rock and Grass type Pokémon Lileep against my Froakie.
Now the type advantage we have against the Rock type Pokémon is entirely removed and have even turned around with my Water type Froakie must be taking out its speed to the utmost to dodge every single Grass type move that our enemy launched on my Pokémon, as a single hit from that super effective move against it can spell doom on my Pokémon that have already been battered and exhausted from the previous two battles.
Worse, that Lileep also have a Storm Drain hidden ability, which make not only my Water type moves useless against it but it would even give benefit to the Lileep.
But we still don't give up and together we managed to overcome the last pokemon sent out by the Rock Gym Leader, albeit in a very very slight margin as my Froakie immediately fall down no longer than one second after it managed to take down the Lileep and have our victory announced.
I returned my starter Pokémon to rest on its pokeball with tears of gratitude in my eyes, I felt that the bonds between the two of us have gotten to be even stronger after we are overcoming such a difficult adversary together.
And with that, we also have already secured our victory and thus I get my very first badge on my new life as a Pokémon Trainer, the Stone Badge!
After winning my first badge, I took my Froakie to the nearest Pokémon Center to get treatment and after it is fully healed, I decided to take a rest for the day and let my Froakie recuperate more inside its pokeball.
I didn't idle around when my Froakie is taking its rest, by renting a PC in the corner of the Pokémon Center, I begin searching for any information about the wild Pokémons around here that may be suitable for me to be added on my Ninja Team.
With the lesson I have learned from our battles in the Rock Gym, I now realize the importance of having a lot of Pokémons in our Teams, aside from offsetting the weakness that the other pokemons may have and adding on to more variable and feasible strategies in combat, the number of Pokémons in our team is also important so that my Pokémons won't get outnumbered against our opponents when we are taking on the three in three challenges like in Gym Battles.
So far I have always been naive and think in my mindset of a Ninja, that for a sneaky assassin type like us, having just one or two Pokémons for support is already more than enough since it is usually we the ninjas ourselves who are doing most of the works.

[ ] Author's Note [ ]
By the way, talking about Ninja weapons, shuriken blades are actually so thin and fragile that they will almost always break upon contact with their targets, the purpose of that throwing weapons are mostly for distraction or a means for an indirect attack, as when a true Ninja throw the shurikens, they rarely targeted their enemies directly but throwing it to a place near them, usually on the floor near their foot, or the ceiling or tree branch above their enemy's head.
That will make the enemies lowering their guard a little as the foes think that the attack from the ninja is a miss since the shuriken didn't hit them, only to have the fragments of that shuriken splattered everywhere upon the fragile blades hitting on (usually) the floor, wall or ceiling, and in the end hitting the enemies with a sporadic, fragmented blades. Also, since the blades of shurikens can break away so easily, in the past when the medical technology is not as advanced as now, they are often hard to be taken out from the wounds cleanly in the past, leaving some tiny fragments left deep inside the wound and making future trouble for the victim as it moved around harming on their inner organs.
