"Alright, guys, you ready?" Davin asked. His Pokemon nodded in unison. "Then let's get started!"

Davin was on Route 203. He had went to Jubilife City and healed his Pokemon, but decided to leave after that because Jubilife didn't have anything that interested him and he wanted to get to Oreburgh as soon as he could. Currently, he was training his three Pokemon for the upcoming gym battle by making them practice their moves on flying discs he purchased at the Jubilife Poke Mart before he left there.

Throwing a disc in the air, Davin shouted, "Zapter, use Mirror Shot!" and the Magnemite fired a green blast of energy from its eye, knocking the disc out of the air and into the bark of a tree.

"Your turn, Tempest! Wing Attack!" The disc was tossed and the Starly flew at it with its wings glowing and struck it with them to make it land on the ground.

"Go, Hana! Use Leaf Storm!" The leaf on her head glowed as leaves gathered around her and were fired at the thrown disc, which hit it so hard that it flew into the pond that was near them.

"Pretty good." Davin said as he retrieved Hana's disc from the water. "Let's keep going so that we'll be ready for when we get to Oreburgh, okay?" His Pokemon agreed, but they heard something bubbling in the pond. "What could that be?" As the bubbling continued, something big came out to the surface: An orange fish with a horn and white fins that had black markings.

Davin's Pokedex

"Seaking, the Goldfish Pokemon, and the evolved form of Goldeen. Seaking protects its family from harm by fighting with its drill-sharp horn. It mostly lives in hollowed rocks in streams."

"So what's it doing on the surface?" Davin wondered. An orange ball suddenly appeared on Seaking's horn and a beam was fired from it, causing everyone to jump out of the way as it exploded when it hit the grass.

"I guess maybe it's angry that we disturbed it with our training." Davin thought. An orb of water formed in front of Seaking's mouth and it was launched. "Thunderbolt!" Zapter responded with a blast of electricity that destroyed the oncoming Water Pulse.

"Sea! Seaking!" It shouted with its eyes narrowed.

"Looks like we'll have to fight it. Even so, it'll be great training for our gym battle." Davin pointed to the large fish. "Hana, use Petal Dance!" The Chikorita fired an array of petals only to have Seaking hop into the air to dodge it and fire an Ice Beam to freeze Hana solid, forcing Davin to recall her into the Poke ball.

"Alright, Tempest, use Quick Attack!" It flew at Seaking and made a direct hit, but the Goldfish Pokemon quickly retaliated by using Hyper Beam to knock it to the ground. The Starly was motionless as its trainer called it back. "Man, this is one tough Seaking." Davin turned to Zapter. "You ready?"

"Magnemite!" It nodded.

"Ok! Electro Ball!" Zapter hurled a sphere of electricity at Seaking, which exploded when it made contact. "Now, Thunderbolt!" Its magnets charged with electric sparks and the electric blast hit Seaking as it cried out in pain.

"Gyro Ball!" When Zapter came at it with its move, Seaking released a beam of transparent sound waves from its mouth that made Zapter stop and slightly sway in the air with a swirl in its eye. "Supersonic... Now Zapter's confused."

"Sea-king!" It released another Water Pulse and sent Zapter into the grass.

"Zapter, hang in there!" It came back into the air, still confused. "Mirror Shot!" It fired the green beam, but it was aimed at the left side of Seaking. The water Pokemon then used Hyper Beam to cause even more damage to the Magnet Pokemon.

Davin started to panic. "If this keeps up, Zapter's going to be defeated soon, and there's no way it's going to snap out of it in time. There's gotta be a way I can prevent that, but how?" As he thought, Seaking was preparing to use an Ice Beam. "It's a bit of a risk, but I'll try it. Zapter, Gyro Ball!" It started to spin with the blue orbs on its magnets at the same time the Ice Beam was fired. Zapter tried to push against it and succeeded in doing so, landing a hit on Seaking in the process.

"Magne?" The swirl in Zapter's eye disappeared.

"Great! Use Thunderbolt!" Once again, Seaking was electrocuted, the only difference being that electric sparks appeared around its body as it flinched. "It's paralyzed; now's our chance to beat it. Electro Ball!" The electric orb was tossed at the goldfish and it finally lost consciousness.

"Yes! Good job, Zapter!" The boy congratulated.

"Mite, Magnemite!" It thanked.

"Sea..." Seaking awoke and quickly submerged back into the water.

Despite them winning, Davin frowned as he returned his Magnemite. "It's a good thing we had that battle or else I never would've seen the difference in power. Zapter can handle itself because it was with me on my journey to Varex, but Hana and Tempest weren't able to hold on long enough to keep fighting since I both obtained them not too long ago." He sighed. "Oh, well. I guess after the first gym, we'll just have to keep on working."

Davin went back to Jubilife City's Pokemon Center to restore his Pokemon's health and went back to Route 203 to get to the Oreburgh Gate and challenge the gym leader.
