I woke up and quickly stood up. Around me was grass, and tall grass, I knew where I was, I was near Striaton City. My head hurts. I wonder why. Did I hit it in my sleep? It doesn't really matter that much, because today is the day that Oshawott, Pansear and I get our first badge. I walked to Striaton City, which was just a mile or so from where I slept the night before. The city was huge. I had been there before, but the sheer size of the buildings and amount of people there surprised me every time. I quickly walked to where I knew the gym was, and entered through a door. When I entered the gym, I saw that it was not a gym at all, but some kind of fancy restaurant. There were people sitting down at tables with red cloths on them eating breakfast. Where's the gym? I thought that it was here. Was I wrong? A waiter who was around 5 foot 10 walked over to me. He had green hair that rose from his head like a spike.
"I'm sorry sir, but there are no tables available at the time." He told me.
"I think I came to the wrong place. Do you know where the gym is?" I asked the funky haired waiter.
"It's here." He said. As if that were some kind of signal two more waiters walked over to me. One had red hair that spiked up, and the other had blue hair that was flat on his head, otherwise they looked exactly like the first waiter .
"Welcome to the Striaton gym." The red haired waiter said. "My name is Chili and these are my brothers, Cylan and Cress. Cylan is the one with the green hair, and Cress is the blue haired one."
"So who is the gym leader?" I asked the weird haired waiters.
"It depends. What was your starter Pokemon?" Cress asked me.
"I started with an Oshawott."
"Then I'll be the gym leader." Cylan said. The odd waiters then lead me to a Pokemon arena. A white pokeball was spray painted in the center. The ground was flat and a very light shade of brown. Surrounding the arena there was light blue walls, a light blue balcony, and even a light blue railing for the light blue balcony. Cylan and I stood on opposite sides of the arena, and Cress and Chili walked up to the balcony to watch the match. My head pain was now elevating its self into a migraine level of pain, and kept getting worse. I'll have to deal with this stupid migraine later. A guy with a black mustache, but no beard walked up to the middle of the pokeball that was spray painted in the middle of the gym arena. He has wearing white shorts, a white t-shirt and a white cap. He was around five foot eight and had green eyes.
"This battle is a 2 on 2 battle with one Pokemon on the field for each trainer at a time. Only the challenger may make substitutions. Without farther ado let the battle between Cylan, the gym leader and, what's your name?" He asked me.
"My name is James." I told him.
"Let the battle between Cylan and James begin."
"Actually, we need you to step off of the field first." Cylan told the guy, who realized this and stepped off of the field. Both Cylan and I sent out our first Pokemon at the exact same time.
"Go Oshawott." I said.
"Go Lilly." Cylan said. My Pokeball hit the arena and released a male oshawott, and his pokeball released a female Lillipup.
"Oshawott, use water gun." I commanded. A heavy stream of water came from Oshawott's mouth and hit Lilly before she could react. The water gun pinned her to the wall. Oshawott stopped using water gun and ran up to Lilly, just like we had planned. "Great, now use aqua-pound." I commanded. Oshawott used water pun on his hand when he got close to Lilly and kept using water gun on his hand while using pound. The move worked just as well as rehearsed and caused Lilly to fly into the air, and smashed her head into the light blue railing that protected people from falling off of the balcony. After her head smashed into the railing her unconscious body fell back to the ground. Cylan looked at Lilly, mouth open in shock. He then grabbed her pokeball and recalled her. My head then suddenly started hurting even worse and I screamed in pain. I held my hands on my head while screaming.
"Are you okay?" Cylan asked me. Oshawott looked at me worriedly.
"I'm fine, just send out your next Pokemon." I lied. Cylan seemed to believe my lie, but Oshawott still looked at me worriedly. "Don't worry about me Oshawott, just focus on the battle." I told him. He looked back at Cylan, who threw out his next pokeball.
"Go Pansage." He said. A pansage appeared from the pokeball once it hit the ground. "Pansage use solarbeam." He commanded. Pansage nodded and put his hands a foot or so away from each other. A white circle started forming between his hands and kept getting bigger and bigger. Just as I was about to command Oshawott to use water gun on Pansage, my head pain become unbearable. I fell to my knees and started screaming again. Oshawott looked at me worriedly again. Increasingly so when I started coughing up blood. Pansage finished charging solarbeam and used it to hit Oshawott while he was distracted. The solar beam hit him and pinned him against the wall for a few seconds, then an unconscious Oshawott landed on the ground. I kept coughing for a while, blood coming from my mouth every time I coughed. Eventually I stopped coughing, but as I tried to move my hand towards my face to fell if there was any blood on it I noticed that I no longer had control of my hand and arm. I then tried to move other parts of my body, but to no avail. I wasn't in control of my body anymore. But somehow my hand moved to my belt and grabbed Oshawott's Pokeball. "I" then recalled him and stood up. I noticed that Cylan was standing next to me.
"Are you okay?" He asked he. I guess he was pretty worried, considering that I was just coughing blood.
"I'm fine" "I" said. But I didn't tell myself to say that. Somehow, something had stolen control of my body. "I" then used my hand to wipe blood from my face. "Let's get back to the battle" "I" told Cylan.
"Are you sure you're okay?" He asked me.
"I'm fine, let's just continue the battle." "I" told him.
"Are you sure? You can just come back some other time." Cylan suggested.
"Just go back to your side of the room so we can battle." "I" said. Cylan reluctantly listened to me and walked back to his side of the arena. "Go Pansear." "I" said, while throwing my next pokeball. A female Pansear came out of the pokeball.
"Pansage use bulletseed." Cylan commanded. Small seeds came out of Pansage's mouth. Just like we rehearsed Pansear dodged the seeds and ran up to Pansage without any commands from me. She then kissed Pansage and used incinerate while they were kissing. The attack worked perfectly and, not only weakened Pansage considerably, but made both Cylan and him not counterattack very quickly due to shock at what just happened.
"Finish it with incinerate!" "I" yelled to Pansear. She did what "I" told her to do and finished Pansage with incinerate before he could react. Both Pansage and I lost consciousness during the attack. The attack didn't hit my or anything, I just sort of fainted I guess.
