Chapter 3 Striaton City:
"Finally! We have arrived in Striaton City. There is a trainer's school over in the left of the city, the Dream Yard over in the far right corner of the city, and the Striaton Gym just to the left of the Dream Yard," Mitsumi informed her two companions. N gave her an admiring look and thought, "she is very knowledgeable even though she hasn't been here in ages. Her battle style is well polished and she is able to coordinate her Pokémon's moves well, in both tag battles and double battles. She is truly amazing!"
"Wow! You sure know a lot, Mitsumi," Hareta said.
"Well… I have studied up on most of the regions: Sinnoh, Johto, Kanto, Hoenn, and Unova," the green haired girl responded.
"I see. That is something else that we have in common, nee-san. Ghetsis may have kept me inside the castle, but I still had to learn about the outside world. Though I know little more than what the books taught me, though. Lady Concordia and Lady Anthea often came to teach me about Pokémon. Ghetsis and the other Sages taught me about the regions," N said softly. Mitsumi noted that her little brother seemed a bit sad and gave him a comforting hug. N was startled slightly, but he found that it wasn't so bad that his sister should hug him. She smiled at him gently and nodded towards the Dream Yard, and the three headed off towards the forest area.
Several minutes later:
"Pidove, use Peck, then use Air Slash," Hareta called.
"Dodge it, Patrat," Hareta's opponent (a kid wearing an orange shirt with a matching hat and blue shorts), about the same age, yelled. The boy's Patrat was able to dodge the peck attack, but was hit by the following Air Slash. The attack caused the Patrat to flinch.
"Let's wrap this up! Pidove, use Air Slash one more time," Hareta cheered. The dust settled revealing a knocked out Patrat.
"You did good, Patrat. Have a nice rest," the kid said as he returned his fainted Pokémon to it's Pokéball. Hareta shook hands with the kid.
"We should do this again someday," Hareta said with a huge grin. The kid smiled and nodded before heading back to a Pokémon Center.
After a couple more hours of spending time in the Dream Yard, the trio decided to head in for the night. They went to the Pokémon Center and booked a room. Once they got situated, Mitsumi suggested that they talk about the gym leaders of the Striaton Gym.
"Chili has a Pansear which is a fire type. Cress has a Panpour which is a water type. Cilan has a Pansage which is a grass type," Mitsumi said.
"I have heard that whichever starter Pokémon you have, they will have the brother with the type advantage over whichever Pokemon that is," N added.
"Do you think that we could all battle the three gym leaders using the same field," Hareta asked. Mitsumi thought about this for a moment before answering.
"I am not sure, but I see no harm in asking. So then, if I am using Servine, then I'll be going up against Chili. If Hareta uses Pidove, then who will he battle…," the Mitsumi said.
"How about I use one of my other Pokemon from my Sinnoh this time. I do happen to have my Milotic with me now. I had her transfered here earlier today downstairs. If I battle with Milotic, I would then have to battle Cilan. Then Haret can battle Chili and N can battle Cress," Mitsumi said. Both boys nodded their heads to this plan.
"Well then, we should all get a good night's sleep," N said. And with that, everybody went to bed, hoping that the next day would be a successful one.
"Good morning, everyone," Mitsumi said pulling back the curtains to let the sunlight filter in. The two boys groaned and slowly got out of bed. Once everyone was ready to go, they headed downstairs to go buy some breakfast. Hareta's table manners were a bit to be desired, as others were staring at the amount of plates stacked up. Mitsumi sweatdropped and sighed.
Several minutes later:
"Alright! I'm pumped and ready to go," Hareta yelled as he burst through the front doors of the gym. Several waiters and waitresses looked at the boy as though he were and odd child (which he is).
"Excuse me. Could you please lead us to the gym? We are traveling as a group," Mitsumi said for the three travelers. One waiter whispered to another who then nodded and rushed off.
"Please wait for a moment," the waiter who stayed behind said. Moments later, the other waiter came back to the group with the three gym leaders walking behind him.
"You three want to challenge our gym, correct," The green haired one said with a warm smile. Mitsumi nodded.
"Great! Let's get this show on the road," the red haired one said.
"Right this way, if you please," the blue haired one said turning around to lead the group of challengers to the battle area.
"Here we are! We haven't given you a formal welcome yet. My name is Cilan, and these are my brothers Chili and Cress," The green haired gym leader said as he pointed towards his siblings.
"Who's first," Chili asked eagerly.
"We were actually hoping that we could battle all of you at the same time. Three on three," Mitsumi said.
"Hmm… sounds interesting. We made an exception once with a trio of trainers before, so I don't see anything wrong with doing it again. We will be using Pansage, Pansear, and Panpour," Cilan said. The three gym leaders brought out their Pokémon.
"Thank you very much! Go, Milotic," Mitsumi said bringing out her beautiful Pokémon.
"Go, Pidove," Hareta called and brought out the little bird Pokémon.
"Let's go, Zorua," N said as he brought out his little shape-shifter Pokémon.
"I will be the referee for this battle. This a three on three match. Substitutions are not allowed. The battle will be over when all Pokemon on one side are unable to battle. Battle start," the first waiter said.
"Alright then. Milotic, use Aqua Tail to launch yourself into the air, then bring it down on Pansear," Mitsumi said her Milotic following her orders immediately. Leaping into the air, Milotic's aqua tail hit Pansear on its descent. Pansear was knocked out by the powerful STAB move.
"No way! In just one attack!" Chili exclaimed as he recalled his defeated Pokémon.
"It's all yours now, you two," Mitsumi said to N and Hareta who nodded in return before quickly bringing their attention back to the battle.
"Zorua, use Transform on Pidove," N called. The small black, fox-like Pokémon jumped and did a back flip. In mid spin, Zorua glowed and transformed into a Pidove.
"Zorua/Pidove, use Peck," Hareta and N called in unison. One of the two flew high and dove downwards to attack while the other swooped in low to attack.
"Panpour, use Water Gun on the Pidove above you," Cress called. The water monkey Pokémon squirted a strong jet of water from it's mouth.
"Pidove, switch tactics and use Air Slash," Hareta called. Pidove flapped it's wings creating the blades of wind forcing through Panpour's attack and pushing him closer to Pansage.
"Now, Zorua! Use Wing Attack on Pansage," N commanded. Zorua stayed low and used wing attack on both Pansage and Panpour forcing the two monkey's to fly back into a wall knocking them out instantly.
"Wow! I must say that I am very impressed with your combinations! Your battle styles are refreshing and well seasoned," Cilan praised the three challengers.
"Mitsumi, was it? Your Milotic's attacks were swift and accurate. Well done," Cress said. Mitsumi gave a respectful bow.
"You three have earned the Trio Badge," Chili finished. Cilan passed out the badges.
"Thank you very much," the trainers said. They left the gym and headed back to the Pokémon Center.
