First battle

This is a battle chapter. Here, like before in conversations, S- will be used for Sky and R- will be used for the commands that they give during the battle. And there will be a short paragraph either below of above it to explain the actions of the Pokemons happening. It is my first battle scene so please have mercy.

"So here is the new Challenger."

"Welcome! This is the Oreburgh Pokémon Gym! I'm Roark, the Gym Leader! I'm but one Trainer who decided to walk proudly with Rock-type Pokémon! As the Gym Leader, I need to see your potential as a trainer. And, I'll need to see the toughness of the Pokémon that battle with you!"

Said Gym Leader Roark to Sky. Sky had already reached the place and was standing in front of the battlefield.

"The Oreburgh City Gym battle between Sky, the challenger, and Roark, the Gym leader is about to underway. The battle will be a three on three. As soon as all the Pokemons on either side are unable to continue, the challenge is over. In addition, only the Challenger is allowed to substitute Pokemon. Now let the battle begin."

Said Ian, the referee, to both of them.

R - Geodude, let's go.

A round ball of rock appeared in front of Sky. Geodude has a rock for a head, no nose, and two long arms that start with a bulging muscle and end with rock hands resembling a human's.

S - Riolu, Go defeat it.

Sky released his Riolu. She was battle ready.

R - You have a lot of confidence. You first.

S - Riolu Quick tackle then Vaccum wave.

Riolu immediately attacked towards Geodude.

R - Not so fast. Geodude, use Rollout.

Geodude was going to use Rollout except Riolu was already in front of him. She immediately tackled Geodude then used Vaccum wave.

"Geodude is unable to battle, the Challenger wins.

S - Rest and recover now.

R - That was unbelievably fast. One of the fastest Riolu I many have ever seen. You attacked in two sequences because you didn't know if my Geodude has Sturdy innate ability right? Impressive tactics. But this is where you will stop. Go Cranidos.

Cranidos is a short, bipedal, dinosaur-like Pokémon. It is very similar to the real life Pachycephalosaurus, having long hindlimbs and short forelimbs, and also having an extremely thick skull roof. The front of Cranidos' body is largely gray, while it's back and the top of its head are blue. From the sides to the back of its head are four large spikes. Cranidos' most notable feature though, is the large blue dome that is its head that it can use to smash down rocks or trees.

S - Well thank you for your compliment. It is also my first time battling and I am really glad to battle with you. My Riolu will still battle with you.

Sky was trying to gain time for his Riolu to recover as much as she can.

"Start the match in 3, 2, 1, go."

S - Riolu go all out. Attack his with all your might. Make him unable to stand up again in this life.

R - Cranidos, headbutt.

After hearing Sky's words Cranidos was distracted for a split second and this distraction caused him to use his headbutt a second later. It was all Riolu needed.

She had been training and running with Sky for the past half a month and they never ran less than 500 kilometres daily. Add to the over the top meals and techniques, she was one of the fastest Riolu's to ever exist. She was that fast.

She reached Cranidos in just a second and used Vaccum wave on his leg and then quick tackle on his another leg. The Cranidos wasn't even able to react to her advances. She kept kicking and punching him with her paws. She was like a shadow to Cranidos. All of his attacks were dodged due to the close proximity and her speed.

R - Cranidos, use flamethrower and try to keep your distance from Riolu.

S - Riolu follow him close and intercept his Flamethrower. Attack his neck with with your paws and use Vaccum wave on his back ribs.

Riolu immediately retaliated on his orders. She attacked Cranidos on his neck with a Vacuum wave and got behind him.

This was one of the strategy that Sky had taught her. It was to do what he said but in different patterns.

R - What? Why do your Pokemon- ah it was a part of your strategy; Cranidos immediately use Head smash.

S - P and then Vaccum wave.

Cranidos immediately used Head smash. Riolu used Protect. She used Vaccum wave the moment Protect went of.

S - Quick tackle and finish him off now.

Cranidos was down.

"Cranidos is unable to battle, the Challenger wins.

'Now we need to face our most dangerous enemy. I hope she can win this.'

S - Rest and recover as much energy as you could. This is going to be the toughest round for you.

R - Well you're a good trainer. You used Cranidos' strength as his weakness. You never let him use his moves and you made his speed slow by purposely attacking his legs. Then used close combat to keep harassing him but never attacked the legs again. You are a good trainer. It is a pleasure to battle with you but this is your last winning streak. Go Onix.

S - Go Riolu.

R - You should change your Pokemon. Your Riolu looks tired.

S - I can't. She is the only Pokemon that I have.

R - Huh, you came to battle with just a single Pokemon. Is it confidence or blind foolery?

S - My second Pokemon left me yesterday and I don't have the money to afford a third one nor do I have the time to catch one so fast.

R - I am sorry. I didn't know.

S - You don't need to. It is not your fault. She just didn't like me and so I released her.

R - You really are a good trainer.

S - Have you recovered enough?

"Rio lu rio rio lu"

S - Ok good.

R - You... I take back my words. Onix get ready.

"The third battle will commence in 3, 2,1, start.

R - Onix, Slam.

Onix is a Rock Snake Pokémon. Its serpentine body is made up of large gray boulders and little pebbles. It has a long horn atop its head and small eyes.

Onix used slam on Riolu.

S - Use P and then C. Make sure the Timings are right.

Riolu used Protect against slam.

R - Not this time, Onix used double edge.

Onix attacked Riolu with double edge. She used Counter. Both Pokemons suffered damage.

R - so that was your pla-

S- Immediately use Quick tackle and Vaccum wave on Onix.

R - No you don't, Onix dodge.

Riolu attackwd Onix with Quick tackle. She immediately used Vaccum wave after that. Due to her speed, Onix was unable to dodge.

R - That was what I was anticipating too, use bind and make sure she doesn't escape.

Onix used bind on Riolu. She was bounded by it. She was unable to escape and the bind was tightening every second.

S - Use Vaccum wave.

Sky literally roared when he said that. He had not anticipated Roark using Onix as a bait. This was the last round and he thought that Roark must play it safe but he wasn't.

R - Onix continue to bind.

S - Vaccum wave. Keep using it.

The Riolu was in intense pain. She kept using Vaccum wave. The Onix was the same . He too was feeling intense pain and both the Pokemons were hanging on their willpower alone.

R - Onix keep binding Riolu.

S - keep attacking Onix.

Both the Pokemons were on their limits and then both passed out.

"Both Pokemons are unable to battle. The Challenger wins."

Said Ian as the refree of the match.

S - huh, how?

R - The rules were that the challenge ends when all of the Pokemons on either side is unable to battle. This rule was for the 3 vs 3 Pokemon battle. If we knew that you are using a single Pokemon then the rule will be to defeat two on my Pokemons. Since most of the trainers are not 'brave' as you, we never had to consider this problem and Ian just registered you for the three on three match.

R - but don't make this a habit. Next time state your Pokemons quantity before challenging the Gym or you can get fined, Your trainer license may even be cancelled.

S - I didn't know. I will read all the details properly this time.

R - You should read the trainer's guidebook. It has all the rules and regulations you need to follow to challenge all the Gym of Sinnoh League. Don't make a mistake like this the next time.

R - Here is your Coal badge as you are worthy of it.

S - Thank you. I am really glad that you are the one I faced my first Pokemon battle with.

R - Oh, well that's my pleasure. You haven't fought against the other ones.

S- Well, you were the weakest Gym Leader so I fought with you first. I didn't had the confidence to battle others.

Sky said with a helpless shrug. His words made Roark angry and depressed at the same time.

R - Well, the next time you come here, let's battle with my original team. I also want to see how 'WEAK' I am.

S - Huh, your Original team. What was this then.

R - Except Cranidos, there were the League alloted Pokemons. Next time let's battle with our full team. I really want to fight you once again.

S - I will. Thank you for your kindness, I will remember it.

R - You don't need to. Ok bye.

' Can't underestimate anyone in this world huh. Well, how would he able to become a Gym Leader if he was defeated by new trainers. Humans huh, we sometimes forget the most basic of things.'

"Let's go and treat you up dear. Then we will celebrate to your hearts content."

Sky went to the Pokemon center to heal her.

Tut tut tut.

"It's Giovanni, the final Gym leader of Kanto. He is the true leader of Team Rocket. Here's proof of it. You can keep an eye on him to confirm my words. Any Pokemon available. Not now. Ok then call me when you have. Good luck."

Sky ended his video call with Looker. He already had the picture and and he already knew that Giovanni was the Team Rocket's boss. He took the picture during the Poketch incident.

That trio had the habit of contacting him whenever they were going to do something big.

This should be enough for now.

All he has to wait now is for the Team Rocket goons to arrive at his doorstep and give him atonement points.

He started to smile evily causing a kid to cry on the spot.
