Chapter 2

"Love I think we clear this gym easily, don't you, considering we've been training since we were five years old?" asked Selene.

"Yes but that doesn't matter in the heat of the battle. What will matter is our trust in our pokemon. C'mon, I'm up first so you can put together a strategy for the gym, considering you do better that way, where I do better thinking on my feet. Okay love, let's do this."

Inside the gym:

"Hello, you two must be challengers."

"Yes we are. My name is Gustavo Rivershade, call me Gus, and this is Selene Rosehill, and we both are here to challenge you for our first badge."

"Well, well, a big honor, Gus, to be your first gym leader. My name is Drake Blackdragon. This battle will be a one-on-one. Think you can handle that?"

"Naturally, right, Gress and Flore?"

"Oh, you have two Treeko, and you have one as well, I see. Three Treeko in my gym at once. You two must have worked hard to face my gym, but don't think I'll go easy on you. Let's do this thing."

"This will be a one-on-one battle between Violet City gym leader Drake, and the challenger, Gus of Violet City. The battle is over when neither side is able to battle. Let the battle begin."

"I'll start this day off with my Diglett!" yelled Drake.

"A Diglett? Uh, weak compared to this pokemon from my father. Let's show them what we got, Phy!"

"Whoa, you never told me you had an Alakazam. This'll be hard on me the gym leader, rather than the challenger, but Diglett, try knock it out with stone edge!"

"Phy, send it back with physic then end it with psybeam!"

"Diglett is unable to battle! Alakazam wins and the victory goes to the challenger, Gus of Violet City!"

"Well I guess that leaves you. I'm not going to lose two in a row now."

"I bet you will lose two in a row."

"This is a one-on-one battle between gym leader Drake of Violet City, and the challenger, Selene of Violet City. This battle will be over when one side��s pokemon is unable to battle. Let the match-"

"HEY! I'm here for a gym battle!" yelled a young boy around the age of ten with a small, black, dog-like pokemon by his side.

"Sorry, but I was just about to start this battle with this challenger. My name is Drake, and I already lost once this morning to that young man named Gus, and I'm not going to lose this match to this young lady name Selene, but what's your name?"

"Oh, my name is Lewis. I'm from Pallet Town."

"Pleasure to meet you, Lewis. Who're those with you?"

"These are Dark, Bloom, Ray, and Daniel, and this pokemon next to me is Shadow."

"I never knew four pokemon from Hoenn would walk right into my gym, but oh well. I'm ready but are all of you challenging me today?"

"No, just me."

"Oh good because I can only do two more battles."

"Sorry to break the meet and greet but could we get this battle started?"

"Ok, now as I was saying before getting interrupted, let the battle begin! Come out Geodude!"

"Time to soar my friend, come on out Sally! Now Sally, use Aerial Ace full speed and power!"

"Geodude harden!"

Then, as the attack hit, there was an explosion and as the dust cleared the battle is over and Pidgeotto is the winner.

"The victory goes to Selene of Violet City!"

"Wow, in one hit? I never lost in one hit, nor two battles in a row."

"See love, I told you we'd beat the gym easily," said Selene.

"That you did, love," said Gus.

"Well it's my honor to bestow this official league badge, the ground badge. What will you do now? There's two gyms to pick from: one in Eritrea City and the other in Azelf Town. I recommend there next."

"Well while we decide I think we will watch your next battle."

"The battle is over, Pichu is unable to battle! That means Poochyena wins and the victory goes to Lewis of Pallet Town!"

"It's my honor to bestow the ground badge to you, Lewis. Good luck on your journey in Jotto."

"Thank you."

"Hey Lewis what you say to a battle tomorrow morning in the field just outside of town?"

"Well, Gus, I say bring it!"
