Chương 80: Gan Vs Robert!
Gan deemed this region his home in his heart because Unova was the Pokemon World's version of America. So, Gan didn't really feel like it was much of a lie for him to be saying this.
"That's really far, that's across seas!" Natalie was now shocked, she had only visited the Kalos region before as a vacation.
"You come from a far place—to get here you must be a Pokemon trainer of some sort." The old man believed this to be so since Gan seemed so young. If this wasn't the case, then how could he be allowed to travel so far?
"Oh, yeah, I'm a trainer who is now trying to collect all of the Kanto's Gym badges." Gan didn't feel a need to lie, this would solidify his identity further.
"Cheche~!" Everyone suddenly heard stifled laughter and turned toward the person in question.
"Sorry, Madam and Senior." It was Robert, he didn't think Gan was capable of earning even one badge.
For one, he was simply too young, he looked to be around 15 to 17 years of age. For two, he believed Gan had scammed the young miss out of a powerful Pokemon and was up to no good.
The old man frowned, was he laughing at this young man's dreams?
"Hmm, what's so funny, Roberto?" Gan also frowned, this guy just wouldn't stop.
'Roberto? My name is Robert!'
"I wasn't laughing at his dreams, I just think he had some ways to go since he's so young and all." Seeing the old man glaring at him with his fierce eyes, he quickly spoke up.
"Sorry if I offended this esteemed guest." Robert apologized and bowed, but he was grinning smugly when his head was facing downward.
However, Gan was sharp when it came to the sincerity of things; this guy wasn't sorry at all and meant everything he said.
"If you want, we can have a Pokemon battle to see for ourselves," Gan said bluntly.
Robert looked young, but Gan was sure this guy hadn't experienced anything he had gone through despite being in this world longer—and in more ways than one, even older.
'Wanna battle me, kid? I'll show everyone here just how much of a fraud you are.' Robert's eyes lit up when he heard Gan's suggestion, then he sneered inwardly.
"Of course, I wouldn't mind having a battle with you," Robert said with a sincere smile.
"This sounds interesting, I would love to watch for myself." The old man's eyes also lit up, at his age, he loved entertaining battles.
"Dad, this, I don't think th..."
"No! Let them battle, everything should be decided in this way." The old man interrupted Natalie; this was the way people in his day dealt with their difference.
The old man obviously knew Robert wasn't sincere in his apology. He was confused, these two surely hadn't met before, how did they form a grudge against one another?
"Gasp! Robert's going to battle?"
"Oh, I wanna watch!"
"Robert is super strong, this guy is done for!"
Several kids started talking happily amongst themselves, they all couldn't wait to watch.
"Gan, you have to be careful. Robert uses a strong fire type called Ninetales." Allura warned Gan, she didn't want Gan to get bested.
"No worries, and thanks for your concerns." Gan patted Allura on the shoulder and assured her.
Robert stared at the back of Gan's head with a grin.
After everyone was done eating, everyone moved to the battlefield outside to watch.
____
-Roseworth Residence, Garden Training Ground.
Outside where the battle between Gan and Robert was to commence, there were many chairs sitting around the battlefield. The kids were all watching with excitement, they knew Robert was a decent trainer, at least better than them.
Multiple bodyguards were around. They summoned their Pokemon to guard against any attacks that may go haywire during combat—or to prevent anyone from getting hurt. There were also medics on the scene as well.
"I'll be the referee of your battle, you two can decide on how many Pokemon you'll be using." The old man spoke while holding a red flag.
"What do you say, Gan? What do you say about a 2v2 battle?" Robert said with a smirk.
"No problems here?" Gan nodded and agreed immediately.
"Then it's decided, it will be a 2 versus 2 match!" The old man smiled in anticipation. Both Gan and Robert went to their respective positions to prepare.
Allura had a recorder in her hand; wanting to record the battle for later purposes.
"Gan, oh esteem guest, I hope you're ready!" Robert's tone was filled with sarcasm.
"..."
'Be silent all you, but you won't be mute for long when your Pokemon are being pummeled!' Robert's eyelids twitch before he started smiling.
"Here I go! Come forth, Primeape!" Robert reached for one of his Pokeballs and tossed it.
"Primeape!!" Primeape roared and came out swinging its fist rapidly, its eyes were filled with unreasonable anger and fury.
Gan scanned Primeape right away to see what it was capable of.

===
Seeing its moves, talent, and typing, Gan knew exactly who to use for this match-up.
Gan reached into his pocket, but he was actually reaching into the void space while doing this. He pulled out a Luxuryball that had shrunk into the size of a golf ball.
Gan press the button on the Luxuryball and it increased to its original size.
"Wow, what a cool black ball!" Some of the kids had seen this ball before but didn't have one; they all had the standard Pokeballs.
'Damn show off!' Robert scorned Gan in his heart.
Gan tossed the Luxuryball and the Pokemon appeared on the battlefield.
"What the..." Within 5 seconds of its summoning, everyone felt like vomiting.
"AHH~! It stinks!" One of the little girls stood up and barfed onto the grass, which soon caused a chain of vomiting to occur amongst the group!
Allura seemed prepared and quickly put on a face mask. She had told Gan about Robert's Pokemon, which were only two. Gan put two and two together and warned her to bring something to cover her nose, like a face mask.
"This..." Allura's Grandpa took a step back while holding his nose in horror, he recognized this Pokemon and his face turned pale.
If you hadn't guessed already, then the Pokemon Gan summoned was Grimer!
"Why does it smell so bad?! It's far worse than a sewer, or anything I've smelled in my life.... Blaarrg!" Natalie's vision was getting blurry until she turned around and started vomiting!
"...." Gan looked around in surprise, as he himself had put on a face mask after summoning Grimer. Grimer was clearly exuding its smell on purpose, this was why it began spreading so fast.
"Gan! You filthy a**hole, you won't deter me from battle with this!" Robert roared, but Primeape's expression was a bit priceless when staring at Grimer.
"Attack! Cross Chop it!" Robert was angered, he clearly wasn't thinking straight from what Gan could see.
However, this was a good thing for Gan, the battle would be over sooner this way. Primeape looked hesitant, but it still complied with Robert's orders.
Primeape stormed off towards Grimer by pushing off the ground for extra speed.
Gan smiled and told Grimer to challenge Primeape's Cross Chop with a Poison Jab. Primeape approached rapidly, it was much faster than Grimer. However, getting close and attacking a Grimer was a big no-no in most individuals' minds.
Grimer slithered forward to meet with Primeape, its fist burst with poisonous purple light. Both Primeape and Grimer connected, with white light and purple light alike. Right as they connected, Gan saw a red crack appear upon contact.
This indicated that Primeape had landed a Critical hit!
However, Grimer wasn't fazed much, of course, it stung a bit but Grimer was 4 levels ahead of Primeape. Grimer also resisted fighting-type moves and his talent was better by a star.
Tss~
Poison oozed onto the battlefield, drawing up acidic steam.
"Grimer, quick, grab him and slam him into the ground!" Gan hurriedly said. He was in his right mind more than anyone present on the scene.
"Eeek!" Primeape's expression changed as it quickly tried to back away, but it was too late. Grimer reached out with its flaring purple hand and grabbed Primeape's glove-like hand.
Grimer twisted its body with ease and dragged Primape forward before slamming it into the ground next to it!
"APEEEE!" Primeape started panicking, it had a bad feeling about getting close to this thing, and it was right.
"Primeape, quickly use Retaliate!" Robert's eyes widen, and he quickly took in the situation and ordered Primeape to counterattack.
Primeape cocked its free arm, preparing to punch Grimer in the face. All at once, Gan ordered Grimer to use Poison Gas, as Robert was stating his commands.
The Retaliation punch was coming right for Grimer's face, covered in a white dim aura. Grimer quickly opened its jaws and a cloud of purple gas flooded out its mouth. The purple cloud engulfed Primeape's fist before landing on its face, but this didn't stop its punch.
Grimer was still hit with a right straight from Primeape!
The punch was weakened because of the Poisonous gas, it took Primeape off guard. The gas entered Primeape's body, it even inhaled a large portion of it.
"Ahhk!" Primeape started coughing and spasming on the ground. This was a point-blank poisonous gas, which was extremely dangerous—to point of being deadly.
"Back away Grimer." Gan already knew the result of this, this was more of a realistic setting.
If this gas had spread out and Primeape was to inhale it; he would be poisoned still. However, the effects wouldn't be so potent when compared to being in direct contact or face-to-face with it.
"Primeape! What have done, Gan?!" Robert was frightened out of his wits.
Primeape started squirming wildly, then it stopped moving while foaming at the mouth! Afterward, all you could see was its empty white pupils.
"....."
"....."
"....."
The area grew silent for a moment.
"W-winner! G-gan" The old man had trouble saying his words because of the smell. Afterward, Fearow and Pidgeotto gusted the poison away, which was drawing closer. There was even a Chansey on the scene, but it didn't know Heal Bell, which was an Egg move.
Afterward, Robert ran over to check Primeape.
"Don't touch him, we'll take it from here!" A few medics came over and told Robert to stay back and away.
"Yes..." Robert took a step back and allowed the medics to check Primeape's condition.
Gan had already recalled Grimer by this point, so the smell should start clearing up. The medics had face masks, gloves, and goggles on anyway for protection.
The spectators didn't get close, but they were staring at Gan in shock. He was using such a smelly shameless Pokemon, and it was a deadly poison-type Pokemon to boot. And among the poisonous type, it was a hazardous type within those groups!
Allura's little mouth hung open in surprise under her face mask, she had recorded the whole match from the beginning until the end. She even made sure to record the medic coming over to record the graveness of the situation.
"Primeape's been poisoned really bad—if he doesn't receive any medical treatment, he will die! Robert, recall Primeape, we'll be taking him away right now!" The medic didn't waste any time and spoke to Robert in a harsh tone.
Robert didn't like his tone, but he had no time to complain about the way someone was talking to him. He quickly recalled Primeape and handed the Pokeball over to the medics—as they quickly scampered away.
Pokemon usually healed from poison over time by themselves. Unfortunately, Primeape inhaled far too much poison from that point-blank gas. If his level was higher, then this wouldn't be a problem, but this wasn't the case, instead, it was outmatched by Grimer in too many ways.
Robert turned to Gan, his eyes radiating anger and hatred. He actually now hated Gan because of this, was he trying to kill his Pokemon?!
"Uh...sorry," Gan said as he scratched his head.
'Sorry, is that all you have to say?! Fu** you!!' Robert almost exploded into curses, but he had to compose himself in front of everyone here.
"Forget about it, we all make mistakes. Let's continue our battle." Robert used all the power invested in him to calm down before speaking. Gan obviously knew Robert was enraged from his trembling body, but that was how some Pokemon battles went.
Unfortunately, some Pokemon might not survive the encounter.
Robert got back into position and grabbed the other Pokeball hanging from the other side of his waist.
"Are you using the same Pokemon to do battle with me? If you are, I guarantee that won't work this time." Robert said coldly.
"No. I'll use a different Pokemon for this bout," Gan said plainly.
"Tsk! Let's go, Ninetales" Robert scoffed, then tossed his Pokeball forth.
First, Ninetales' silhouette appeared then the Pokemon itself appeared, giving a battle cry.
Gan, of course, inspected his foe.
===
|Name: Ninetales♀
|Type: Fire
|Level: 32
|Ability: Flash Fire
|Potential: ★★
|Nature: Mild
|Moves: Ember| Disable| Quick Attack| Spite| Incinerate| Confuse Ray| Will-O-Wisp| Flamethrower|
===
Gan frowned, this thing was a serious threat despite its average Potential. Thinking closely, he thought of the best Pokemon to fight Ninetales among his Pokemon. This was something he had thought of before the battle started from Allura's information.
Gan reached for another Luxuryball and tossed it.
"Let's go, Machoke! Redeem yourself!"
