-*/Chapter 3:Ready For a Gym Battle?\*-
"What do you think you're DOING?" the gym leader whispered loudly.
"Umm you ARE Skyla aren't yo-" Black was suddenly interrupted with a loud 'shhhhhhh' from Skyla.
"Yes, I am Skyla. Official gym leader specializing in flying types of Mistralton City!" She whispered loudly them paused looking around the café. "But that's not the point! Don't you know that if anyone finds out that i'm here, a whole bunch of fans and pokèmon fanatics are gonna storm in here to try and get my autograph?" (A.N.:gym leaders are practically celebrities in this story.)
The two of us stared and shook our heads simultaneously.
"Well now you know!" she was still whispering.
We responded nodding our heads with smiles.
"Ummm Mrs. Skyla ma'am-" Black was once again interrupted.
"I'm SINGLE! Got that?" she said with a frown; clearly we were not in good terms with the sixth gym leader of the Unova region.
Nodding again, I butted into the conversation; "Well I think what my friend was trying to say is that he wants a gym battle with you."
"Oh! Are you done eating because this matter must be settled in my gym," she said crossing her arms.
"Why?" we both said.
"Because! You have to set up an appointment!"
We both nodded. Our waiter came by and asked us for our dishes. By then, we were all done with our meal and paid the bill with 25 pokè dollars. Then the three of us set off to the Mistralton City Gym.
xXx
We were at the front desk of the gym where the two of us were watching Skyla talk to the receptionist about our upcoming gym battle.
Skyla looked down to us, "Hey, which one of you is going to battle me?"
"Both of us!" we both cried out with excitement. The two of us are always charged up before a gym battle.
Skyla nodded then asked us another question, "Do you two want to battle together against me or do you want to make separate appointments?"
The two of us have never been able to do a gym battle together. I didn't even know it was possible! Me and Black had always had to battle separately in earlier battles. I immediately nodded with great enthusiasm. Skyla made an okay sign with her fingers then held up two fingers to the receptionist.
Skyla looked down on us once more, "Okay, your guys' gym battle with me will be in half an hour at 10:45. You two better get ready! Remember to be here exactly at that time or else the battle will be cancelled."
"Okay, we understand," Black said with a grin. Then Skyla said bye and took off through the main gym room door.
The two of us went outside the gym and headed to the Pokèmon center to pick up our Pokèmon.
"Well, that was a strange encounter was it?" I said aloud.
He nodded with agreement. When we got to the Pokèmon center, Nurse Joy said that our pokemon were all healed of their injuries and exhaustion.
"Okay now which one of you is Black Fujisaki?" Nurse Joy brought out six pokèballs.
I pointed to Black who accepted them gladly. Nurse Joy then gave me my Pokemon which I quickly placed in my trainer's bag.
We both said thank you to Nurse Joy and headed back to the gym which was like a mile away.
I checked my watch as the two of us walked out of the building, "Black, it's only 10:40. We'll easily make it even if we walk. No need to rush right?"
He nodded mindlessly as if not paying any attention. I tapped him on The shoulder causing him to quickly turn to me in surprise.
"And your point is...?" he said to me.
My face reddened at my own stupidity. Turned around from him and kept walking.
His hand reached out and grabbed mine.
"Sorry! I'm sorry for being so rude!" he cried out in shame with his face looking down at the ground.
The moment he saw his hand grasping mine, he let go with his face as red as mine. We both kept on walking towards the Pokèmon gym in shame.
xXx
"So this is the Mistralton City Gym..." I breathed.
Black nodded beside me in amazement as well. A man with dark sunglasses and white hair appeared beside us.
"Whoa, who are you?" Black said aloud.
The man shook his head, "Who I am isn't important. You two are battling together against Skyla?"
We were about to speak but he didn't bother to listen and took out two water bottles labeled: Fresh Mineral Water.
"You'll need these for healing your Pokemon," he said. Then he backed away from the path leading to Skyla motioning us to proceed.
We walked down the path beside each other ready for anything. Our walk was abruptly interrupted when a large cannon able to fit about 3 people rose up in front of us.
There was a large sign beside the cannon: Climb in for a fun ride! It's the only way to the gym leader of the skies!
The two of us glanced at each other with a shrug the. We both 'climbed' inside the cannon. The machine rotated and tilted and we came catapulting out of the contraption screaming (well I think it was only Black...) our lungs out.
We landed with a huge 'bump' on a platform on another part of the gym with our bottoms sore. Luckily, the ground was cushioned so it hurt less than it should have.
Getting up, I spotted a nearby trainer near the next cannon. Walking up to him, he seemed surprised to see us. Immediately taking out a pokèball, he cried out,
"Let's battle!"
Sighing, me and Black took out our Pokèmon. It was a double battle so our opponent could take out two pokemon at a time and so could we.
My Servine and Black's Dewott immediately made a battle stance awaiting our commands. The opponent brought out a Pidgey and a pidove. Pfft. The weakest flying types ever.
Even though my servine was a grass type which was obviously weak to flying types, I took the Pidgey down with a cut move and Black did so with the pidove with razor shell.
That was all the pokemon amateur that we battled had. He sat down on the floor in defeat staring at the sky with tears in his eyes.
Walking past him, I patted his head in comfort. "Dude, take it easy! You had lame Pokemon and a noob battle like this is nothing to cry about."
Walking into the next cannon, the machine blew us out to another trainer leading to another cannon where ANOTHERtrainer was. And even worse: they were all amateurs! Oh well, at least it's easier for us...
Black ran towards the next cannon, "White! I think this is the last cannon!" he cried out happily.
I smiled and followed him inside the cannon. But this time, something didn't feel right...
As we shot out of the cannon, The two of us hugged each other, screaming as the wall of the gym approached both of our faces.
Our faces ended up getting crushed. Literally. As we slid down the wall, me and Black groaned in pain.
Landing on the floor, we were right in front of a staircase on out sides still holding onto each other.
"Are you okay?" Black muttered to me with his face close to mine.
I nodded holding my head in slight pain. I doubt that the wall wasn't cushioned but it still hurt...
Black's arms let go of my body and stood up. "Come on. Let's go battle Skyla."
He held out his hand and I grabbed it with a weak smile.
xXx
The staircase seemed steep but in reality, it was only like 15 steps. The top approached and I saw Skyla waiting for us on a battle field.
"Hey!" she called out to us waving her arms. "How was your flight?"
"Painful in the end..." I groaned, "but thanks for the cushioned walls."
"You're welcome!" she said. By now the three of us were standing on our proper places on the battle field.
"Now," Black said aloud. "We get to battle right?"
She nodded with a grin and took out a pokèball from her belt, pressing the button in the center to enlarge it.
"Go pokèball!"
