Chapter 3- The Watchog's Retaliation!
Watchog and Lenora stood outside of her Gym, which was also the museum. Ben, Nica, Cameron, and Ruth began to walk to the gym. Lenora invited them into her gym/museum. Lenora showed them the large skeleton of a Dragonite.
"So, this is what a dragonite looks like... internally." Cameron said.
"Yes. And I heard there may be a Dratini coming to this very gym, for part of the Black and White Festival's raffle." Lenora said.
"A dratini!" Cameron said.
"Yes, but, you might not be here when the raffle ends, next week." Lenora said.
"Oh... maybe my mother could come back and pick it up?" Cameron said.
"That's if you win it." Lenora said.
"Anyways, can we look around some more?" Ben said.
"Oh yes, over here we have... oh my god... THEY TOOK THE STONES!" Lenora yelled.
"What stones?" Nica asked.
"The Yin Stone, a black stone, and the Yang Stone, a white stone.... each holds the soul of a legendary pokémon... Zekrom and Reshiram respectively." Lenora said.
"I don't think they can summon them yet..." Nica replied.
"You're right, and we have to get this gym battle done before we can do any searching..." Lenora said.
Lenora guided them towards the back of the museum where a large door opened into a library. She told them that they had to find their way into the gym and she would be waiting for them, she disappeared. Ben had heard what to do, so he walked around and read books, and eventually he got to the last book and it opened the door. They walked down to find Lenora and her Watchog and Herdier standing ready.
"So, you found out quickly, eh?" Lenora said.
"Yes, we did." Cameron said.
"Good!" Lenora laughed.
"I challenge you first..." Ben said, and Tepig bounced around.
"So be it. Shall we do a double battle?" Lenora said.
"Oh, then, can it be Nica and I against you?" Ben asked.
"Sure." She said.
Herdier and Watchog jumped onto the mat that was layed out. Tepig and Lillipup did the same. Herdier barked to its evolutionary sibling, it replied, but that only made Herdier growl.
"Lillipup!"
"Heerrrdiiierrr!"
"Teeepiiiggg!!!"
"Watchog!"
"Okay, guys. Let's get ready!" Ben said.
"Lillipup, you must use tackle!" Nica said.
"Tepig, please use ember!" Ben said.
"BOTH OF YOU ATTACK HERDIER." Ben and Nica said at the same time.
The two began to simultaneously attack Herdier, this confused it. Herdier was cornered as the fire from ember had hit him and then Lillipup slammed into it, because of the confusion and double hits, it knocked it out. Lillipup began to bark in satisfaction, but Lillipup began to glow white.
"Yes! Lillipup, our training has begun to work!" Nica said.
"Herrrddiiierrr!" It called.
"Good job!" Lenora laughed.
"So, Herdier and Tepig versus Watchog? Interesting." Cameron said to Ruth.
"Watchog, use RETALIATE!" Lenora said.
"Retaliate? I've heard of that move... and its said... oh, no... BEN, NICA, make Tepig and Herdier dodge the move!" Ruth yelled.
"Herdier!" It yelled jumping out of the way.
"Tepig!" It said, but it got hit and flew backwards.
The two pokémon teamed up, Herdier used take down and Tepig used tackle. The two hit Watchog with such a force that it was slammed into the ground, this made Watchog angry and it began to attack wildly, but the two pokémon began to attack with more fury, this knocked Watchog out.
"Congratulations, you two have won the Basic Badge." Lenora said giving them their badges.
"So, its our turn?" Cameron asked.
"Yes, get ready." Lenora said healing her pokémon.
Snivy and Oshawott stood together on the mat looking over at the other two pokémon, they still looked weakened from their last battle. Snivy began to use vine whip on Herdier, which did enough damage to it to make it run into the wall and knock itself out.
"Herdier!" Lenora said.
"Watcho...g.."
"So, you seem to know that they are severely tired..." Lenora said.
"Okay, Oshawott, use water gun!" Cameron said.
Oshawott's water gun doused Watchog. Watchog just ignored the water and sat down, had it really become so tired that it was just giving up the fight? Tepig began to cheer the others on. Snivy and Oshawott both tackled Watchog and it pretended to faint.
"Well, you've bested me..." Lenora said handing over the basic badge to them.
The five of them went back up to the museum to find the Yin Stone back where it had been prior to the match. Team Lightness's leader Leroy stood near it, he saw Lenora and walked over to her.
"Lenora, I'm sorry for taking the stone, I just had to research it some more. I left a note, did you get it?" Leroy said.
"A note?" Lenora asked.
"Just as I thought, Darren must have taken it. The Yang Stone was still here when I took the Yin Stone." Leroy said.
"Leroy, its okay, I don't care that you took the Yin Stone, you have the right to take it any time you need it, after all, I am all for your team." Lenora said.
"Lenora is all for Team Lightness?" Cameron said.
"Yes, I am. They are the good guys." Lenora said.
"And the prophecy says that four people and four legendary pokémon will come to aid the Lightness in defeating the Darkness..." Leroy said.
"LEROY! You shouldn't tell them about the prophecy yet." Lenora said.
"Its too late, Lenora, they know." Leroy said.
"..." The silence from the four made the situation weirder...
