OOC:i'm gonna do it in 1st person now, it's easier for me. ^_^ and norman's got gonbe? we don't even know hat attacks he has! o.0
I healed my pokemon in oldale town, then sprinted to Petalburg, carefully avioding any trainer battles along the way. I reached Petalburg, panting vigorously. I'm here! Finally! let's go get a drink out of that pond! i walked over to the pond, drank about half of it, and went to the gym. "Petalburg City Gym, Leader: Norman" maybe i should train a lil' more before i challenge this guy. yeah, definetly (sp?) train some more. hmm...i'll need a goal. maybe lvl. 10 for all my guys? that sounds good! curd, now i'm gonna hafta retrace my steps and battle all those trainers...dang...oh well! i went back to the rt. between oldale and petalburg(i can't remember what it's called! *hides*) and spotted a trainer. i walked up to them, and the battle began. turns out it was a lass, also training for the Petalburg Gym challenge. I easily defeated her mudkip and charmander quite easily with SeaBlade and Rui. Well, not so easily with Rui vs. Mudkip, but hey, i beat her and that's all that counts rite? anyways, back on subject. they both went up 2 levels! (ok, so that's alot 4 one pkmn, but i don't wanna rite out all the battles XP) great, only 1 more lvl for these 2! i found double battle with a Jr. and Sr. as the trainers. it wasn't too hard, all they had was a tyrogue(whcih proved hard for my Ziggy, but not extrememly tough) and a togepi. (i'm not thinking today :P) Rui grew to lvl. 10, and Ziggy grew to lvl.8 and almost to lvl. 9! all it needs is 7 exp. or something! i searched somemore and found Bug Catcher Bob (o.0) who had a weedle, caterpie, and a kakuna. All of my Pokemon grew to lvl. 10! and even better, Ziggy learned Headbuttm Rui learned Thunder Wave, and SeaBlade learned SuperSonic!! i was ready to fight Petalburg gym. i jogged back to Petalburg when someone stopped me. "Hey, Lady! (why oh why oh WHY do they call me lady?)you're gonna challenge the gym here right?" i turned around and saw that it was a boy with dark sunglasses covering about 1/2 of his face. That's odd..."Yeah, so waht's that matter to you?" i spat back at him. Literally. "i'm the test to see if ya can get into the gym. Beat me and go on into the gym...if you lose, you'll never move on outa here!" He sounded serious about it. So i took him on. "Let's see what you've got!" as he sent out a Cyndaquil. "Go, Rui! Twister!" "Tini!" The attack lifted the Cyndaquil off of the gorund Woah, that's a really strong twister!! The bodyguard seemed a little shocked. "Cyndaquil, Ember!" 3 spurts of flame came out of the Cyndaquil's back. They hit Rui, but, thankfully, not that hard. "rui, show him waht ya've got with another Twister!" Same story as the 1st one. the Cyndaquil fainted, and Rui grew to lvl. 11. "Urgh, you're strong...but i'm not done yet! Go, Lotad!"'The man seemed quite angry."Good job, Rui. Return. Go! SeaBlade! Gust!" before the Lotad even got a chance to attack, it fainted. "Good job , SeaBlade!" "Urgh!!...Fine, go on in...but you've only seen half of what Norman can do to you!" Then he walked off. Ok then...that was strange. I entered the gym. Norman, was, well, just standing there! He said to me, "Ah, at last, a challenger. What is your name?" I answered him a lil' quietly, "Lil' Schu." "Shall we get the battle started Lil' Schu?" "Sure. that's what i came here to do! Go, Ziggy!" "Fine. Go, Dunsparce! *insert move*!" About time!"Headbutt, Ziggy!" Ziggy rammed into the Dunsparce. it was so hard, that the dunsparce fell into norman, and fainted. "return dunsparce, and go, Slakoth! Scratch!" the scratch barely even left a mark. Ziggy, Headbutt!" Same story as dunsparce...ya get the point. Oh, and Ziggy grew to lvl. 11 as well. "Go! Gonbe! Tackle!"This is an odd pokemon...never seen it before...but it's time to switch out."Go! Rui! Thunder Wave!" the shock paralyzed the pokemon. "Good. Gonbe, Rest." Oh Crud. Maybe i can work this out ot a good thing. "Rui, use your most powerful Twister" "Dra...Tin...I!!" *sighs* that was a good day for Rui. that twister must have been the size of a bull!" Gonbe was toast. Rui grew to lvl. 11. "Very good, Lil' Schu. i now will give you the Balance Badge, and TM42, which contains Facade. If you have a status condition, your attack will be raised. now go on, Lil' Schu, and earn more badges!" i went to the PokeCenter and healed my Pokemon, then i went to the PokeMart. There, i bought an Old Rod, some PokeBalls, and some potions (6 potions, 4 balls). After that, i went to the pond where i previously had drunk out of and fished...i waited 4 whole hours before i got something! oh it was just a lvl. 9 magikarp... but Magicarp can be good, sometimes! i told myself. "Go, Rui, Thunder Wave!" I threw a pokeball at it...1 shake...2 shakes...crud! it broke! "Return, Rui, Go, Ziggy, Tackle!" Let's see if this works now...Once again, i threw a pokeball. 1 shake...2 shakes...3 shakes...4 shakes..no shakes!! yes!hmm...Nickname...I got it! Magic Harp!(brilliant nickname huh? XD)
