Chapter 17: The Admin: Part 1.

The admin got madder and madder by the second. He said that his name was Norman and he would want to battle to set things out. Norman said to be careful as he was one of Team Boom's strongest members. Norman said that Mike's mom was telling us the secrets of Hammerton's legacy and to prepare for Hammerton to become the place they wanted to be. Mike sent out Dartrix and Norman sent out Poliwhirl. Dartrix used Razor Leaf, but Poliwhirl neutralized the sharp leaves with an icy wind. Dartrix used leafage which did lots of damage to Poliwhirl. The Poliwhirl used Ice Punch which did critical damage to Dartrix.

Mike decided to use Dartrix's newly learned move Mega Drain. Poliwhirl fainted, and all of Poliwhirl's HP transferred to Dartrix and Dartrix was back to full HP. Norman sent out his Ace Pokemon, Dusclops. Dusclops used Curse, which removed half its HP but made it extremely powerful. Mike was worried that he would lose his first battle. Mike was determined to get revenge for his mother's kidnapping. Dartrix used Razor Leaf, which did slight damage to Dusclops. Dusclops used a powerful Shadow Punch and knocked out Dartrix.

Mike had to send out his last Pokemon, Zorua. Zorua was really fast and outsped the Dusclops and used Night slash, which knocked out the Dusclops. Norman was defeated. Norman and the grunts left and put the Jirachi back on the pedestal and said " This isn't over, punk." Michelle was impressed by Mike's battling. Michelle said Team Boom is well known in Migna City for vandalizing and destroying property. She thought of Mike as a worthy opponent. Michelle had one request for Mike. Michelle wanted Mike to battle inside the Temple instead of the gym. Michelle said only the finest, best trainers can battle inside the Temple.

If the challenger wins, while battling in the temple, They will be blessed with the greatest luck and needs for life. Mike agreed to battle in the temple, Michelle healed up Dartrix and Zorua and both of them were ready.
