I release Balwin to battle for me. I do this because my little psychic type would complain if he did not battle today. Clover releases her Grookey which is a good move since water type pokemon are weak to grass types. The other person released a Yamper. The gym trainer signals that the first round has started.
It is a three way battle for the Barraskewda that I see in the pond. I look at the other two before telling Balwin what to do.
"Balwin use Psybeam on Yamper." I point at the Yamper at the right side of Balwin.
Balwin puts paws together and a pink beam of psychic energy shots out knocking into the Yamper. The Yamper has a look a pure horror on its face when it is shot into Grokey. It causes the Yamper to be heavily damaged while also causing harm to the Grokey underneath it.
Clover screams and stomps her feet," Grokey if you do not get up right now there will be consequences." This causes me to wince since the Grokey barely gets up after using Knock Off on the Yamper. The Yamper is knocked off Grokey then faints.
The Yamper's trainer falls unto his knees," No yam yam we were supposed to win then become champion!" I snicker really he named his Yamper yam yam. That is the most unimaginative name it could have. The gym trainer came up and forced the person to return their pokemon. Then proceeds to drag them out of the area. Well I guess it is just me and Clover left on this side.
Clover pouts," Grokey use Branch Poke on the ugly water type." A giant branch materializes out of the air and slams into the water. The Barraskewda jumps out of the water heavily damaged screeching uses Throat Chop on Grokey. The Grokey is hit on the throat but grabs the Barraskewda and flings into back into the water. The Barraskewda floats to the surface looking like it is dead. This causes my jaw to drop. How powerful is this Grokey.
Balwin having enough of a pokemon that has not evolved uses Charm on Grokey. Balwin winks and blows pink hearts into Grokey's face. The Grokey's eyes changed into pink hearts and it rushes up to Balwin cooing.
Clover screeches," I swear you are useless for falling for Charm." Before Clover can snap out of her fit I threw a pokeball at Barraskewda. The ball dings signaling I caught the pokemon.
Clover turns around and tries to jump me," You jerk I was the one who knocked out the pokemon not you. Give me the pokeball now!" When she was in midair a gym trainer comes out of nowhere and grabs Clover.
"You lost the first round of the battle royal." Then he puts her over his shoulder and takes her away. Clover screams death threats at me. I ignore her and proceed to the next round.
After having Barraskewda healed by on onsite Nurse Joy I am lead to a pool battlefield. I see right across from me Rain. The ref stands on the side.
"Now this a one on one battle using the pokemon caught in the previous round. Their will be no other pokemon used during this round. Heal items are not to be used. The winner of this round will proceed to face the gym leader after returning the pokemon caught in the first round. Now challengers release your pokemon and fight. " The ref is looking at his phone when he says this.
I release the Barraskewda into the pool. Rain releases a Chewtle into the pool.
"Chewtle use Headbutt." Rain smiles at me. The Chewtle swims over to the Barraskewda slaming into it. The Barraskewda looks sightely hurt by the headbutt.
"Now is your chance Barraskewda use Bite!" The Barraskewda jaw is surrounded by black energy. Before the Chewtle can escape the Barraskewda bites its stomach. The Chewtle flails around until it is released. The Chewtle is looks to be slightly hurt by the Bite.
"Chewtle use Tackle and Headbutt now!" The Chewtle flys in the water with its head aimed at Barraskewda. They collide together causing water to fly out of the pool. When it clears up I see Barraskewda has Chewtle in it's jaws again. It used Bite when Chewtle collided with it.
"Barraskewda use Fury Attack." The Barraskewda lets go of Chewtle then attacks it with Fury Attack. Chewtle faints after the fifth hit. Both pokemon are returned and then given to the ref.
"Honey Ketchum of Pallet Town wins and now can proceed to fight Magi the gym leader." The ref is still looking at their phone when they say this.
