"That was excellent, Bonsly. You deserve a rest!" chuckled Scott as Bonsly returned to his ball. Amelia was sitting beyond some flowers, with Abra at her side, watching the battle. "Scott's doing great!" Said Amelia happily,"I just hope it continues, considering he doesn't have any Pokemon that are specifically good against Grass Types..."

"Let's go, Misdreavus!" Shouted Scott as he flung his Pokeball in the air and summoned Misdreavus in an explosion of purple light. "Let's go, Budew!" Shouted Natsuko as she also brought a Pokemon out into the field. "Now, Budew, Stun Spore!" Budew released a shiny, golden mist that floated quickly towards Misdreavus. "Dodge it!" Shouted Scott. Misdreavus dissapeared and later reappeared at the other side of the field. "How did you do that?!" Said Natsuko in shock. "I learn from the best." Said Scott smugly as he winked at Amelia,"Now, Psywave!" Shouted Scott. Misdreavus spun with extreme speed and unleashed three or four waves of energy. It was heard to tell where they were going at their speed. Budew managed to cleverly dodge three but was hit by two, making it fly backwards.

"Again, Budew!" Shouted Natsuko. Another cloud of shimmering mist flew towards Misdreavus, but this was much faster. Misdreavus dodged it with ease, drifting just underneathe it in the nick of time. "And to make sure you don't use it again," Began Scott,"use Spite!" Misdreavus began to glow. It seemed to get a lot darker as Budew slowly collapsed onto the ground. "Now, Psywave, again!" Shouted Scott. Misdreavus unleashed alot of purple waves, which landed directly on Budew who couldn't move. The dust settled to reveal a fainted Budew. "I didn't even get to show off his best move." Frowned Natsuko as she returned Budew.

"You're amaizing, Misdreavus!" Said Scott happily,"Stay in field and show them who's boss!" Misdreavus and Amelia smiled sweetly. "Roselia, show them how good you are!" shouted natsuko as there was an explosion of green light that dissapeared to reveal a Pokemon similar to Budew.

Roselia, The Thorn Pokemon. hidden in tis beautiful flowers are poisones thorns. I wouldn't bother picking those flowers, if I were you!

"Misdreavus, Psywave!" Shouted Scott. Misdreavus released more beams of energy at a very fast speed, but Rosleia was faster, doging them at lightning pace. "Now, Mega Drain!" Shouted Natsuko. A small, green of beam was unleashed from Roselia and wrapped itself around Misdreavus, sucking energy from her. "Hang in there,
Misdreavus, and use Spite." Once again, their surroundings darkened as a shadowy figure appeared behind Misdreavus. Roselia collapsed on the ground as the green beam dissapeared. Roselia and Misdreavus got up immediantly and were ready for battle in no time. Misdreavus unleashed loads of psywaves, which hit Rosleia who was still slightly dazed. Roselia used poison sting, but it was doged quickly by Misdreavus who unleashed more psywaves. Roselia tried to fend it off with Poison sting, but failed and casued Rosleia to fly backwards. "Get up, Roselia!" Shouted Natsuko, but it was too late and Roselia had fainted.

"YAY!" Shouted Scott as he jumped up and down,"I got a Clover badge shouted Scott!" "Congratulations," Began Natsuko,"I think I need to less cocky. You look weaker than you are."

Scott and Amelia walked away victorious. His first gym battle was a success and he knew he was a worthy trainer...
 
Toxic_Moonlight: That was a nice battle, you're done Kagari City already xD
Misdreavus leveled up to 11!
Misdreavus learned Astonish!
 
Inside the box was an azure colored stone. "This is a water stone." Troy said looking in the box. He picked up the stone from out of the box and held it up to the moon. He stared at the stones beauty as the azure stone absorbed the moonlight and started to have a glow. He put it in his bag next to his leaf stone. It was getting late so Troy decided to call it a night. He looked in his sleeping bag and saw that Eevee was still sound asleep, so Troy didn't want to bother her. Troy found a nice soft patch of grass under a tree and fell asleep gazing at the stars.

The next day came quickly. Troy woke up to sharp high pitched yelps. He looked over his shoulder to see Eevee nudging him. Eevee noticed that she got Troy's attention so she ran over to the red box that Troy recovered from the water yesterday. Troy got up and walked over to see what all the fuss was about. "What is this thing?" Troy wondered as he looked in the box. There was a cat like pokemon curled up in a ball with its spiral tail sleeping in the box. Troy used the Pokedex to see what it was.

Glameow, the Catty Pokemon
It claws if displeased and purrs when affectionate. Its fickleness is very popular among some.

"A Glameow, huh? It's a pretty cool looking pokemon. I want it!" Troy said. Just then, the Glameow opened its eyes. It saw Troy and jumped up in fright and scratched Troy's face. "OW! You're a feisty little thing aren't you?" Troy said as he rubbed his face to ease the pain from the scratch. Eevee didn't hesitate to defend Troy and it showed it by tackling Glameow without a commanded. Glameow recovered and let out a loud growl. Troy covered his ears from the sound but Eevee stood its ground. "Tackle it again Eevee!" Troy commanded. Eevee charged toward Glameow again and landed another tackle. This one sent Glameow flying in the air and into the lake where it was struggling to stay above water. "Oh no. I don't think that Glameow can swim." Troy was thinking worried for its safety. "Well I guess I will just try to catch it now. Go Pokeball!" Troy shouted as he threw the ball into the lake. It hit Glameow in the head and absorbed it into the ball in a flash of light. The ball sat gently floating in the lake as the current took it to the shore. The ball shook back and forth as Troy looked on to see the result.
 
Master Jecht: Poor Glameow, anyways good post, you caught a Glameow!
You captured a level 9 Female Glameow!
 
The ball stopped shaking and came to a stop. "Alright I caught a Glameow!" Troy said. "Nice work Eevee. Now return." Troy got out Eevee's Pokeball and returned her to it. "Well I guess I better be heading to the next town." Troy thought. He gathered all his equipment up and threw his backpack on. He got back on the path and continued towards the next city.

After a short walk, Troy reached Kagari City. It was a beautiful sight to behold. The city was surroneded by huge trees that extended for miles. The aroma of flowers was traveling through the air that put Troy at ease. The town also had cute statues of the Pokemon Skitty all around it. Troy stopped by the pokemon center and got his pokemon healed.

Troy enjoyed walking around the city, but quickly got bored and searched for something to do. He passed a building with a flyer on it that sparked Troy's interest. It showed Kagari City's famous Flower Boutique. "So this flower boutique is what Kagari City is famous for eh? I guess I will check it out. Troy headed over to the store and walked in through the door.

Troy's first step into the shop was rewarded with a breeze of pleasant aromas followed by a beautiful sight of flowers all over the walls. "This place is great! It is so beautiful!" Troy said. "Glameow come on out." Troy released Glameow and it emerged looking around with curiosity. "Alright Glameow you're my new pokemon so I was wondering if we could hang out for.." Before Troy could finish Glameow jumped up to the top shelf and started to play with some flowers. "Glameow get down from there right now!" Troy demanded. Glameow pay no attention to Troy's command and continued to play with the flowers. She accidentally hit one of flowers in a pot and it fell to ground and shattered. The loud crash made a girl with green hair come rushing out alarmed by the noise.

"What happened out here?" The girl asked. See looked on the ground to see the shattered pot and Glameow hiding behind Troy.

"Sorry about that! My Glameow was just being curious and knocked over one of the plants. Say your sorry Glameow." Troy said. He pushed Glameow forward and she just hung her head and let out a said cry. "So how much is it? I will pay for the damages."

The girl just smiled and said "No need to worry. That flower is common around here. We can just get a new one tomorrow."

"Well that's good news!" laughed Troy. "By the way I'm Troy; I really like your flower shop here. It is beautiful."

"Hi Troy. I'm Natsuko. I love this place too but it is not mine. I just love the nature so I just work here part time. My real job is being the Gym Leader of this town."

"Wait you're the Gym Leader!" Troy asked. Natsuko just nodded her head up and down. "Well then I challenge you to a gym match!"
"Oh so you are a trainer? Well as a gym leader I have to accept all challenges so you are on. Meet me at the Gym in an hour because I have to finish up work here. This should be an easy win for me after seeing how you handle your Glameow." Natsuko said confidently.

"Hah. We will see about that." Troy said

To be continuted….
 
After what had seemed like an age of walking in an awkward silence, Simon and Jade finally reached Kagari City. Looking around blearily, they rubbed their eyes, tired from the long journey. Jade turned to SImon and smiled.
"This is where we split up, again," she said quietly, "I want to head back to the Mystifying Forest ti try and catch a Budew." Simon grinned, memories of a Budew he had fought for coming to mind.
"Good luck," He said, smiling broadly, "I think you're going to need it!" After exchanging good byes, the two friends parted, Jade turning back to the route they had just travelled, and Simon heading for the local Pokemon centre.
"Nurse Joy?" he called, walking into the centre, "Can you take care of my Pokemon overnight?" The red-headed nurse smiled and took the proferred pokeballs, before offering SImon a room key. He gratefully accepted, and stumbled down the hall and into his room, falling asleep instantly.

Waking up late, Simon collected his Pokemon from Nurse joy, before heading outside and releasing his Cascoon, Pidgey and Pikachu for some training in preparation for their gym battle.
"Okay! Cascoon, lets try out that new harden!" Simon called, and cascoon immediatelycurled itself into a ball. That is, it curled itself into a slightly rounder ball, compared to what it already was.
"Now, Pidgey, try and get past its defenses with tackle!" Pidgey charged at the small cocoon with tremendous speed, but simply glanced off. Simon was impressed, though,
"That was a great tackle, Pidgey!" Simon called to the plump bird, now hovering in midair. "And that was some pretty tough defense, Cascoon!" Then, turning to Pikachu, he said, "Now, try out your growl on me!" Pikachu turned to Simon, and gave him the meanest, scariest growl that could come from a creature as cute as a pikachu. Which was pretty terrifying. Once Simon had stopped shaking enough to talk, he returned his Pokmon, and headed to the gym.

Slowly, he pushed open the creaking door, and wandered in. Suddenly, without warning, huge lights flashed on, illuminating the darkness and revealing a battlefield. Standing at the far end was the gym leader.
"So you think you can beat me?" he called toSimon in a mocking voice, "My name is Natsuko, and I'm about to take you down!" Then, she stopped and smiled. "Okay, I'll drop the tough talk now. But seriously, you don't look all that confident. I bet you havenn't even been a trainer for a day yet." Simon blushed furiously, deciding not to mention that he had in fact been a trainer for three days now. Still grinning arrogantly, she tossed a Pokeball, shouting "Come on roselia, lets get this over with quickly!" A Pokemon resembling a living plant emerged, and Simon immediately reached for his pokedex, before realising that scanning this Roselia would only make him look even more like a newbie. Instead, he reached for his pokeballs and silently released his cascoon. Cascoon was slightly less reserved however, and started pumping its spikes like arms. Simon turned from pink to crimson, then gasped as he looked at cascoon. For Cascoon had started to glow, and Simon knew what that light meant...

Troy was lying down on a bench inside the gym in wait. Suddenly, the door opened and there stood Natsuko. Troy sprung up excited to have his first gym battle.

"Took you long enough Natsuko! I am ready whenever you are. I want to get my gym badge and then explore the rest of the city." Troy said.

"Fine then Troy. Follow me." Natsuko said. She walked up to two huge metal doors and got out a key. Natsuko used her key on the door and it opened. The opened doors revealed a pokemon battlefield. The field was lined by trees, flowers, and tall grass. Natsuko pointed Troy over to his corner as she went to hers. "Here are the rules for the Kagari Gym. We will each use three pokemon. When the three pokemon are unable to battle, you lose. Troy, you can switch your pokemon whenever you want but I am unable. Is that clear?"

"I got it. Let's start. Go Glameow." Troy said with excitement as he threw Glameow's Pokeball.

"I will start with Skitty! That should be more than enough to handle that little weak Glameow!" Natsuko laughed as Skitty entered the battlefield. The Skitty looked energetic as it chased its tail around. "Alright use tackle Skitty!" Natsuko commanded. Skitty charged forward at Glameow.

"Fake out, Glameow!" Troy responded. Glameow spun around and hit Skitty in the face with its tail. The impact just stopped Skitty in its tracks and left it shaking. "Alright that made Skitty, flinch. Now Scratch attack Glameow." Troy said. Glameow unleashed its claws from its paws and scratched Skitty's face sending it back towards Natsuko.

"Well looks like you might make me break a sweat." Natsuko smirked. "Tell me Troy, how did you get your Glameow to obey you already? It wasn't listening to you earlier today."

"Well you see, I came to the gym after the flower store and saw that you needed 3 pokemon to battle at the gym. So knowing that Glameow would probably still be disobedient, I went to the store and bought some food that is favorite to catlike pokemon. I told Glameow it was all hers if she would help me with this gym battle." Troy explained. "but enough talking lets continue use scratch Glameow!" Glameow raced forward with its claws out towards Skitty.

"I see so you two made a deal. But even with it obeying you it still isn't enough to stop me. Let me show you the Kagari Gyms signature move. Skitty use grass knot." Natsuko confidently ordered. Skitty's eyes began to glow and two pieces of grass tied themselves together in front of Glameow. Glameow didn't see this and tripped over it sending her slamming into the ground. Skitty then quickly acted and tackled Glameow. Frustration was building up in Glameow as it got up and went for another scratch attack without a command. Skitty used grass knot again which tripped up Glameow again. Skitty then used another tackle. "See, you are no match for me." Natsuko laughed.
Glameow got up slowly with an angry fire in her eyes. "Glameow stop right now. You will beat Skitty but only if you listen to me." Glameow paused and looked back at Troy. She saw the confidence in his eyes and waited for a command. "Just stand your ground and wait for Skitty." Glameow sat on the ground and waited patiently. Natsuko's patience wore thin from waiting for Troy so she commanded Skitty to tackle Glameow. "This is your chance Glameow! Stick your tail out in front of you." Glameow shifted her tail in front of her as a guard. Skitty ran into the tail, but the tail absorbed the blow and made it coil up tightly. Skitty suddenly lost its momentum and stopped.

"What's this?!?" Natsuko worried. Glameow's tail then used the force that Skitty built up and launched Skitty like a spring. Skitty flew forcefully and crashed into a tree and fell down. It was knocked out. Natsuko just stood there not believing what happened. She then pulled herself together and returned her Skitty. "That was just dumb luck. Prepare to face the real powerhouses of my team!" Natsuko yelled as she grasped her next Pokeball.

To be continued……
 
Master Jecht: Awesome connecting with you and Glameow, good job using Grass Knot! Can't wait to see the next part :]
Glameow leveled up to 13!
Glameow learned Hypnosis!
 
Slowly, as Simon watched, his Cascoon glowed bright white, before growing, changing and eventually fading to reveal a different Pokemon.
"Dustox!" Cried the new Pokemon. While Simon stood looking completely nonplussed at how his Pokemon had evolvedso quickly, Natsuko was laughing so hard, she was having trouble breathing
"What's with the expression, kid?" She gasped, "Bug pokemon ALWAYS evolve quickly! Did you actually just become a trainer yesterday?"
"Does it matter?" Simon shouted back, mustering some courage, "Bug Pokemon are strong against grass types, so I've got the upper hand!" This realization sobered Natsuko somewhat, but she was still giggling as she called out "Roselia, use Mega Drain!" Roselia zapped Dustox with a thick stream of green energy, but it had little effect.
"A grass type move against a bug/poison type?" Simon shouted to Natsuko, "Who's the rookie now? Come on Dustox, use tackle!" The large Moth flew hard at Roselia, hitting it hard. Despite Dustox's efforts, however, Roselia wasn't even knocked down. Simon was shocked - to take a direct hit like that, Natsuko's Roselia must be really tough. Natsuko and Roselia were both smiling, slightly unervingly.
"Poison sting" Natsuko said, and Roselia pointed its flowers at Dustox, firing scores of small, purple, poisonous stings towards Dustow, hitting it's wings. Slowly, Dustox, unable to stay aloft on its damaged and hurting wings, sank to the floor. Simons confidence was in tatters. This Roselia was clearly stronger than Dustox and now flight, his only advantage, was gone. Dustox was hardly agile on the ground, and now he was going to have to come up with somethin spectaculr to win. But before he could think, Natsuko called out "Follow up with grass knot!" Roselia shot a thin green glowing band of energy from its blue flower, wrapping it around Dustox's front left foot. Dustox just had time to utter a startled
"Dust?" before Roselia pulled sharply, and Dustox went flying forwards, before landing on its face, hard.
"Taackle again, Dustox!" Simon called as his Pokemon struggled to it's stubby red feet. It charged forwards, but Roselia simply used its grass knot to lash Dustox's feet, tripping it up. Simon stood wondering what to do. Poison sting woukdn't do much against Roselia, but then again, Roselia's poison sting shouldn't have hurt Dustox much, tough it had in fact crippled him. He just had to use it in a strategic way.
"Fine, tackle!" Simon called to his hurting Pokemon. It looked at him questioningly, but trusting him instinctively, ran forwards yet again.
"Grass Knot..." yawned Natsuko in a bored voice, and Roselia nonchalantly fired at Dustox again
"Poison Sting!" Simon called quickly, snappin Natsuko out of her reverie. The poison sting shredded the grass knot, leaving nothing but air between Roselia and the charging Dustox. He hit home once again, sending up a huge cloud of dust. Both Simon and Natsuko waited anxiously to see who would still be standing when the dust settled...

"Urgh!" Moaned Amelia as she stepped into a strange, oil-like puddle. "They're everywhere!" she shouted. "If one drop of that stuff gets in my hair I'm going back to Kagari City!" They walked down the dark alleyway formed from towering trees. There was a thick smog hanging over the wasteland and the Sun couldn't penetrate the pollution. Skorupi scuttled closely by Scotts leg and Missy floated above Amelia eyeing the trees carefully.

Hours had passed and the team were still looking for a way out of the Baron Forest. Scott guesed that it was getting towards the evening as it was much darker but the Sun was stil not visible. Scott and Amelia had spotted a few Pokemon but none came close or attempted to attack. Amelia succeeded in avoiding the gooey puddles and Skorupi seemed to edge closer towards Scott the darker it became. Somehting had alerted Skorupi. There was a shadow moving through the thick Trees, followed by another and a few more. Scott looked up as he was sure he caught something above him from the corner of his eye. Amelia heard a twig snap behind her but when she turned she found no one... Or no thing... Suddenly, there was a screech. Scott turned around to discover that Amelia had dissapeared along with Missy. "Amelia?! Amelia, where are you?!" Shouted Scott fearfully. Suddenly, a large object jumped out of the bush and pounced on top of Scott...
 
Lotad burst out of its ball and pounced on the attacker. It rolled off of Scott and onto the ground, immediantly getting up and taking a battle stance. Scott pulled out his Pokedex and wiped away a drop of blood from his cheek.

Zangoose, The Cat Ferret Pokemon. For some unknown reason, Zangoose have feuded with Serviper for many, many years. it claws are extremly dangerous and it will attack anything that poses a threat.

The Zangoose stared at Scott, Skorupi and Lotad. Scott stared back as he thought of a battle strategy. Suddenly, Zangoose charged with incredible speed at Scott. Skorupi jumped infront of him and unleashed a powerful Poison Sting. It pierced Zangoose directly in the face. "Lotad, use Absorb!" Shouted Scott. Lotad jumped from behind him and withdrew many green orbs from Zangoose. The attacking foe strugled to brake free from the Absorb but eventually did and charged once more towards Skorupi. "Dodge, then use Poison Sting!" Commanded Scott. Skorupi flung his tail into Zangooses face and caused it to fly into a tree. Lotad then ran upto the Zangoose finsihed it off with Absorb. It quickly recovered from its fainting and ran back into the thick trees.

Scott was running around searching for Amelia. He guessed that the Zangoose had taken her thinking that she was on the Servipers team. Suddenly, a serviper jumped from a bush and attempted to Tackle Scott. He shifted out of the way just in time and summoned Lotad to the field. "Now, Lotad, use Astonish!" Bellowed Scott. Lotad ran towards Serviper and pounced ontop of it, screeching very loudly and hitting it with its stubs that are its arms and legs. The Serviper wacked off Lotad with its tail and then slithered towards him, biting his head. "Quick Lotad, break free and use Absorb!" Commanded Scott. Lotad struggled free and drained the energy from Serviper. It was still standing though and crawled at Lotad, attempting to Wrap him up with its tail. Lotad dodged it with ease and used Astonish, finnaly making it faint. Scott ran away from the fainted Pokemon and towards McKarp Town, still searching for Amelia...
 
Toxic_Moonlight: Good battle, you're done Route 104!
Lotad leveled up to 8!
Lotad learned Nature Power!
 
"Budew you're up!" Natsuko yelled as she threw her next Pokeball. A small plant looking pokemon emerged from the ball.

"Well I am going to make a switch." Troy said as he returned Glameow to her Pokeball. "Go Eevee!" Eevee emerged from her Pokeball and took the battlefield. "Start things off with a tackle attack!" Eevee rushed forward to tackle Natsuko's Budew.

"Use growth Budew." Natsuko calmly commanded. Budew stood still and started to glow green raising its special attack. While it was charging its power, Eevee connected with its tackle attack. "Now use your absorb." She said. Budew launched out two green vines at Eevee. Eevee managed to side step them and continued to chase after Budew going for another tackle attack. "Fine then we will use grass knot." Natsuko's Budew's eyes began to glow as it made two pieces of tall grass tie themselves together to trip Eevee. "Let's try absorbing one more time." Eevee was left defenseless on the ground after the grass knot attack as Budew launched its vines which wrapped around Eevee and started to absorb its energy.

"Eevee use sand attack." Troy said. Eevee reached one its paws in the ground and launched some sand into Budew's eyes which caused it to release the hold on Eevee. "Wait that's it!" Troy though as an idea sparked into his head. "Eevee just keep using sand attack." Eevee obeyed and kept pawing up sand and launched it at Budew. "Alright that should be good. Now you can finish it off!" Eevee charged Budew now going in for an attack.

"Don't you remember what happened last time Troy. Use grass knot Budew to trip Eevee!" Natsuko smirked. Budew used grass knot but it missed off to the side of Eevee. "Oh no!" Natsuko cried. Eevee got in close to Budew and started to smack it with its tail lowering its defenses. Then it used a full power tackle which sent Budew flying back at Natsuko's feet, fainted. "Now I see you used sand attack to lower its accuracy so grass knot wouldn't affect Eevee's movement. Very clever." Natsuko said as she returned her Budew. "Well Troy, I take it back you are a worthy opponent indeed, but prepare for my strongest pokemon!" Nastuko threw her last Pokeball and a flash of light blinded Troy.

He rubbed his eyes to clear his vision and looked ahead. He saw another plant-like pokemon with flowers for hands. "What is that thing?" he wondered as he pointed his Pokedex at the Pokemon.

Roselia, the Thorn pokemon
The evolved form of Budew. The beautiful flowers on its arms have toxic thorns. Don't even think about picking those flowers.

"Well I must admit Natsuko that is a cool looking pokemon you got there. I can't wait to beat it. Eevee use tackle!" Troy said with a face full of confidence. Eevee charged at Roselia but Natsuko didn't give it a command. The tackle connected and sent Roselia flying backwards. Then, Eevee collapsed. It was breathing heavily and had a sick look in its face. "What's this?" Troy worried.
"It's my Roselia's special ability poison point. Any physical contact with Roselia will result in the attacker being poisoned. It is such a wonderful ability." Natsuko laughed. "Now tie Eevee down with grass knot." Roselia's eyes began to glow as plates of grass tied themselves together around Eevee's paws holding it down. Troy could only sit there and watch to see what would happen next. "Now Mega drain!" Roselia walked up to Eevee and put one of its flowers on Eevee's head. The flower started to glow as it absorbed Eevee's energy. Suddenly, Roselia stopped and took its flower off of Eevee's head showing that it was fainted.

"What an attack combination." Troy said as he returned Eevee. "Let's see, my next pokemon will be Taillow." He tossed up Taillow's ball and Taillow came out flying high in the air. "You won't be able to hit with your Grass knot up there." Troy said.

"Fine then I will bring it down here. Roselia use stun spore." Natsuko ordered. Roselia started to release a golden powder from each of its flowers on its hands. It then spun in circles creating a gust that launched the powder towards Taillow.

"Use quick attack to dodge it." Troy quickly responded to the attack. Taillow speed built up and easily dodged the stun spore. Taillow appeared behind Roselia within a blink of an eye and connected on an attack which sent Roselia into the ground. Troy cheered at Taillow but it was quickly ended as he looked at its condition. Taillow stopped flapping its wings and landed on the ground to recover itself. It was breathing heavy and had a sick look in its face. "Dang I forgot about poison point." Troy said gritting his teeth.

"Troy you can't win. All you pokemon know physical attacks and will just get poisoned by my all powerful Roselia. Now finish it off with mega drain." Natsuko said. Roselia walked up to Taillow and started to drain its power. Taillow let out a loud cry and broke out of Roselia's mega drain and started to peck Roselia making it retreat backwards. "What's going on your Taillow shouldn't have been able to break free. Its poisoned it should be weakened!" Natsuko angrily shouted.

Troy looked just as puzzled too. Then, he remembered the incident in the cave at the Mystifying forest. "Oh yah that is Taillow's guts ability!" Troy remembered. He got a smirk on his face. "You see that is Taillow's guts ability Natsuko. It becomes twice as powerful when it has a status effect! You though earlier I forgot about Roselia's poison point. Nope, it was all part of my plan to power up Taillow." Troy lied. "Now focus energy and then quick attack Taillow." Taillow tightened its focus then sped towards Roselia which sent it to the ground. Roselia struggled up to its feet. Taillow didn't let it get up by pecking it down. Then, Taillow suddenly fell over, fainted. "Uh-oh" Troy worried. "The poison must have sapped all of its strength." Roselia tried to get to its feet but couldn't as it fell over fainted as well.

"No way" Natsuko said in shock. "I lost…" She returned Roselia to its Pokeball and thanked it for its efforts. "Congratulations Troy you have beat me and by the Pokemon League regulations, I award you this badge." Natsuko was saying as she walked over to Troy. She handed over a green badge shaped like a four leaf clover. "This is the Clover Badge. Proof that you have beat me. This is a gift from me that I would like you to have." She reached into her pocket and pulled out a disk. "This is TM86 grass knot. It is my favorite move."

Troy took them both and placed them into hi backpack. "Thanks a lot Natsuko. Well I'm leaving." Troy said as he started heading for the door.

"Wait already? I didn't even get to say all that I wanted!" Nastuko angrily said.

"Your annoying. I just want to go get something to eat. Thanks for the gym battle I will see you later." As Troy ran out the door.
 
Master Jecht: Great battle! You've completed Kagari Gym!

After the gym battle, Troy headed over to the pokemon center. He gave his pokemon to the nurse to be healed and got a bite to eat there as well. Troy got a room and stayed the night there thinking about his next destination. He woke up the next day and picked up his pokemon. Troy headed out for his next destination which was just outside the city, route 104.

When he first set his eyes on the route, he noticed how dirty it was. Trash was littered everywhere and the path was sticky. The stench reeked so bad that Troy had to lift his shirt over it to stop the smell from burning his nose. "Geez you figure a route connecting two major cities they would clean it up a bit." Troy thought. He took a step forward and got his shoe stuck in some gunk. "Bleh. This is no good. I don't want to ruin my shoes walking on this disgusting path. What to do." Troy said disgusted. "I got it!" he exclaimed. Troy released Eevee which looked at him puzzled. "Eevee I need you to use your sand attack on this path so I can walk on it." Troy told her. Eevee followed at Troy's side kicking up sand on the path as they moved along. "Wow this is much nicer. Great job Eevee." Troy said.

The two continued down route 104 when Troy spotted a large garbage pile about twenty feet tall. This sparked Troy's interest as he wanted to search it to see if it had anything useful in it. Eevee hopped onto Troy's shoulder as he headed towards the large pile. He and Eevee dug around in the trash but couldn't find much of use. "A broken fishing rod, an old scarf, and some broken pokeballs. Those were the most interesting things I could find in here. Guess I should get moving." Troy said. Then, Eevee came running over to Troy telling him to follow her. Troy walked over where Eevee led him and saw a shiny object stuck in some purple goo. Troy reached inside of this goo and pulled it out. "This is a-" Before he could finish the purple goo started to move and lashed out at Troy.

(OOC: I'll let you decide what he pulled out :D)
To be continued…
 
Slowly, ever so slowly, the dust settled to the ground. Lying in the middle of the battle field were two unconscious pokemon. Simon's breath caught in his throat, but he reminded himself that Roselia, Natsuko's strongest Pokemon, had been taken out. Forcing a shaky smile onto his face, he taunted the gym leader:
"Looks like I have the advantage now, eh? Come on, Pikachu, let's get fighting!" He tossed his next pokeball, releasing the yellow rodent. Natsuko looked appraisingly at Pikachu, before releasing her second Pokemon, a Budew. Resolutely ignoring this twist of fate, and suppressing his hatred of those wretched Pokemon, Simon stepped forwards and shouted:"Pikachu, Thunder Wave!" Pikachu zapped Budew with a weak blue jolt, paralyzing it. Smiling, Simon ordered a Thundershock, and Pikachu complied, doing some damage to Budew, but the electric attack wasn't particularly powerful. Simon gritted his teeth - thundershock was the only damaging attack Pikachu knew, and if it wasn't very effective, he would have a struggle on his hands. Natsuko wasn't going to give him time to think, though.
"Budew, use stun spore!" Budew opened the leaves on top of its head, and jetted out a thin stream of orange powder, right at Pikachu. Pikachu threw itself out of the way, but budew kept firing the stun spore until the powder covered the entire floor, and Pikachu was left hanging from a light fixture - the only way it could stay above the paralyzing spores. Budew launched one more stun spore, and with nowhere left to dodge, Pikachu simply fired a thundershock at the orange dust. The two attacks met in midaor, the thundershock igniting the stun spore and causing a small fireball to form. Budew leapt out of the way of the falling fire, but its fear gave Simon an idea.
"Pikachu!" he shouted, "Use your most powerful thundershock on the ground!" Pikachu fired jets of electricity at the ground, still covered in orange stun spore. The effect was dramatic. The entire battlefield burst into flames, hiding budew behind a wall of fire. Its shrill shrieks were masked by the roar of the flames. Then, like somene had flicked a switch, the flames disappeared, every last bit of stun spore burned. Budew was left lying in the middle of the battle field, looking rather burned. Completely stunned, Natsuko returned her Budew, before calling a gym assistant and giving the Pokeball to him, along with instructions to take it straight to Nurse Joy. After all, Budew could be badly injured after a blaze like that. Breathing heavily, Natsuko turned to Simon.
"That was a risky stunt to pull." she said quietly. Simon didn't know what to say. He had wanted to do that, hadn't he? But he hadn't wanted Budew to get hurt, no matter how much he hated those things. After a long silence, Natsuko opened her mouth, and callled,
"So do you want to finish this battle, or am I going to be waiting for months while your Pikachu climps down from that light?" She smiled, in a way that suggested she held no bad feelings, "Seriously, Pokemon training is risky. You accept the risks when you decide to become a trainer." Simon nodded, his mouth dry. Then he glanced at Pikachu, who had managed to climb down. He held out his Pokeball and returned Pikachu, before releasing Pidgey. Natsuko responded by releasing her Skitty. Simon was surprised to see a Skitty in what he had thought was a grass type gym, but he would defeat it, regardless of type.
"Pidgey, start out with sand-attack!" He shouted, and Pidgey kicked up sand at Skitty, blinding it temporarily.
"Now, Tackle!" he shouted, confident he was about to take out this Skitty. But Natsuko just smiled and said:
"Grass Knot" Whether by luck or by skill, the grass knot connected, and Pidgey was slammed to the ground.
"Keep using sand-attack, Pidgey!" Simon ordered, and Pidgey sent more and more sand Skitty's way until it crouched down, with its paws over its eyes. Pidgey, sensing its opening, threw itself into a powerful tackle, taking Skitty down and knocking it out. Natsuko stood in shock. She had been defeated.
"okay," she said, walking over to Simon, "I guess you won. You can have the clover badge." with that, she handed over a small green badge resembling a four-leaved clover. Natsuko paused, then carried on, "I want to thank you for defeating me. I know it sounds strange, but I learned more from this loss than I have done from any victory. You showed me that quiet confidence is the way to victory, not overbearing arrogance. As thanks, take this TM. it contains Grass Knot, my favourite move." Simon gratefully accepted the small disk, then went on his way. He headed back to the Pokemon center, bursting with pride at winning his first gym badge. He would rest at the Pokemon center overnight, then leave Kagari city first thing in the morning.

Simon had his first Gym Badge, and now his Pokemon Journey had truly begun!

(OOC: sorry for the wall of text, i just couldn't bring myself to write a short and boring battle :))
