Rival Fight #2

After leaving the Cerulean City Gym, Ash headed towards Route 24 just north of the Gym. Suddenly Gary appears from the bridge which connected Route 24 and Route 25. Seeing his best friend, Gary waves and says "Hey there Ash! You too Brock, didn't think you would leave your gym behind to go on a journey with Ash."

"The two of you know each other? Alas, my father and siblings are now handling the matters of the Gym." Brock replied. "Yea, the two of us grew up together and were born on the same day!" Ash replied

"Hey Gary, I just got the Cascade Badge, did you meet up with Bill already?" Ash asked which puzzled the two behind him. "Of course, anyways I've gotten the Cascade Badge for a while now. It's time to fulfill our promise and battle! I'll win again this time!" Gary replied

"No way! I'll win for sure this time!" Ash said as the two stood face to face and prepared to battle. "Hey Ash, how many Pokemon are you battling with?" Gary asked. "Just 3." Ash replied

"Alright then, I'll only use three as well. Let's do this!" Gary shouted as he sent out Pidgeotto. In response, Ash sent out Butterfree even though it had type disadvantage. "I'll be the referee!" Brock said as he stood in between the field holding a flag in hand

"Battle between Ash Ketchum and Gary Oak begin!" Brock shouted as he swung the flag in his hand down. The two Pokemon as if they could read their trainers mind, instantly move from their spot in the air and fly towards each other with maximum speed. "Pidgeotto use Tackle!" Gary shouted

"You too Butterfree! Use Tackle!" Ash shouted. Bang!* Clash* The two Pokemon flying at high speeds clash with their bodies creating a dust storm which covered the eyes of Brock and Misty. At the same time, the two Pokemon which had both suffered minor injuries backed off and hovered in the air as they awaited for their next action

"Pidgeotto use Gust!" Gary shouted, "Butterfree use String Shot and keep a tight hold on it!" Ash shouted in response. Rip* Rip* The harsh winds from the Gust hit Butterfree giving it heavy injuries as it attacthed its strings around Pidgeotto and clipped its wings making it unable to fly

"Finish it off! Butterfree use Sleep Powder then use Confusion to send it flying towards that boulder!" Ash shouted. "Oh no! Pidgeotto, use your beak to break free!" Gary shouted. However the strings were too strong making its beak get stuck in the string. Butterfree flying in the air put it to sleep using Sleep Powder which flowed from its translucent wings

After putting Pidgeotto to sleep, Butterfree used Confusion and knocked it out making it unable to continue battling. "Pidgeotto return!" Gary said as he returned it into its Pokeball, he suddenly laughed and said "Hahahah! As expected of my rival, just type disadvantage won't stop you from winning!"

Gary then sent out Charmander which had unexpectedly still hadn't evolved into Charmeleon. Keeping Butterfree on the field, the two once again battled it out. "Charmander! Do a jump spin whilst using Ember!" Gary shouted

"Butterfree! Dodge it!" Ash shouted. Bang!* With just one hit, Charmander had defeated Butterfree. Ash then returned it into its Pokeball and sent out Pikachu. "As expected, since I could do it of course Pikachu would get friendly with you!" Gary replied as he stared at Pikachu whilst looking at its IV's

"As expected, my Eevee also has 31x 6 IV's and Timid as its nature. Anyhow I won't lose even if thats so!" Gary thought

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Pikachu use Double Team, then use Quick Attack!" Ash shouted. "Charmander once again spin and use Ember to hit all the Pikachu's!" Gary shouted

On the sidelines, Brock and Misty thought "These two.. their battle is really intense, how can they train their Pokemon to be so strong when they had just started their journey recently? They must be geniuses, especially the way they battle.. Such creativity that noone else can match up to."

After all the Pikachu's were gone, the real one narrowly dodged the Ember and managed to land a hit on Charmander. "Char!" it cried as it took 2 steps backwards. Pikachu then used its tail to hurl itself up into the air and spun whilst slamming down its tail using the move Iron Tail

"Charmander! Use Metal Claw to block it!" Gary shouted. "Char!" it cried as its claws became metal and blocked the Iron Tail. "Charmander! Use Smoke Screen!" Gary continued. "Pikachu! Use Thunderbolt to clear away the smoke then continue attacking randomly in the direction of the smoke!" Ash shouted in response

"Pika! Pika!!! Chuuuuuuuuuu!!!!!" it cried as it used Thunderbolt into the smoke. "Charmander within the smoke use Ember to blow away the incoming Thunderbolt!" Gary shouted. "Char!" it cried as it sent its Ember attack in attempt to block the lightning. Suddenly the smoke cleared out and Pikachu who had somehow appeared right in front of Charmander used Quick Attack to send it flying back then used Iron tail

"Quick! Charmander dodge and use Metal Claw!" Gary responded. Bang!* Pikachu missed the Iron Tail and suffered an attack to its backside as a result. "Gwahh, Pikachu quickly get away!" Ash shouted. "Charmander use Ember to finish it off!" Gary shouted

"No! Pikachu use Thunderbolt!" Ash shouted. Bang!* Boom!* The flames and lightning clash creating a strong wind blowing away the leaves off trees and Misty fell off the Boulder she sat on. After the winds died down, both Ash and Gary saw Charmander and Pikachu both knocked out

At the same time, both of them said "thank you" as they sent out their final Pokemon. "Hey Ash! I'll win for sure again!" Gary shouted whilst on the otherside of the field. "No! I will win, enough talking let's find out!" Ash said as he sent out his Bulbasaur whilst Gary sent out his partner Eevee

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

The two continued their battle for a while, as Bulbasaur and Eevee clashed using Tackle and with Eevee using Sand Attack to block Bulbasaur's vision. Bulbasaur used Leech seed and drained Eevee's Hp whilst recovering its own. Bulbasaur used Vine Whip whilst Eevee used Quick Attack to dodge

At the end, Eevee couldn't get rid of the Leech Seed making it unable to battle. Brock swinging down the flag shouted "Winner! Ash and Bulbasaur!". Ash then returned Bulbasaur to its Pokeball and walked up to Gary, "Hey man, looks like you really did win this time. The same thing won't happen again! I promise!" Gary said as he stood up. "Nah, I'll win again next time. Anyways wouldn't that be soon? Since both of us are going on the SS Anne. Right?" Ash said as the two shook hands and smiled

"You're right! See you again buddy, you should go off to see Bill soon. Also I noticed a member of Team Rocket trying to recruit members however he failed after I defeated him, I think his still there so you should go give him another beating in my place." Gary said as he left towards Vermillion City

Brock and Misty then caught up with Ash as the trio headed towards the Pokemon Center to heal Ash's Pokemon, then headed towards Route 25
