After catching Minccino, and the battle to keep it, the pair of new trainers were continuing their journey, and were now approaching Striaton City."Hey Katie, don't you think we worked well together in that tag battle?" Nicko asked, "I mean, we were unbeatable!"
Katie smirked, "Got that right," She agreed, "And to make sure it stays that way, we should have a practice battle." Her travelling companion nodded at the suggestion, and they were soon ready for the battle. "C'mon out Minccino!" the blonde yelled, releasing the Chinchilla from its pokeball.
"Alright Emolga, it's all you!" the brunette shouted, and the flying squirrel emerged from its pokeball and flew above its trainer's head. "Seeing as you went first last time, it's my turn to start things of," the boy said with a grin.
"Be my guest," the girl sighed, "You'll need a head start."
"We'll see," Nicko replied, "But in the mean time, Emolga use Thunderbolt!" The electric type blasted electricity at the normal type, only for the attack to be dodged.
"Nice work Minccino," Katie complimented, "Now, fight back with Double Slap!" the small chinchilla slapped Emolga, causing it to lose some height. "Great job! Follow it up with Attract!" Minccino shot love hearts at Emolga, and the flying squirrel's eyes became hearts because of the attack.
"Oh great," the brunette said sarcastically, "What a great time to find out that Emolga's female." He recalled Emolga into its pokeball, and turned to the grass snake beside him, "You're up Snivy," he informed it. Snivy walked forward confidently. "Hey Katie," Nicko called across, "Nice job, but let's see how you handle my A game! Snivy use Vine Whip!" The grass type slashed the normal type with the vines coming from its neck. "Alright, great work Snivy, now wrap it up with Leaf Blade!" This time, the grass snake slashed the chinchilla with the leaf on its tail. Minccino collapsed, unable to continue.
"Hey," Katie yelled, "This was meant to be one on one; you can't just call in Snivy! It's unfair!"
The brunette gulped at his friend's outburst, "Sorry, you could of said that it was one on one," he apologised.
The blonde smiled at how worried her companion was, "Don't worry about it, it's okay. But don't do it again," she assured.
With the practice over and done with, the two continued towards the first gym, and after about ten minutes of walking, they say a city ahead of them. "Please tell me that's Striaton City," Nicko begged.
Katie laughed, "That's Striaton City alright, so let's go find the gym. They entered the city, and the first thing that the ten year olds saw was a skinny, blacked haired, blue eyed boy, battling a Cottonee. The boy's Pokémon, a Drilbur, seemed to have the upper hand. "Good work Drilbur, now finish it with Metal Claw!" the trainer commanded. The mole like Pokémon slashed the cotton ball Pokémon with its claws, and Cottonee collapsed. "Good," the boy smirked, "Pokeball go!" the pokeball wobbled a few times, before stopping.
"Hey," Nicko yelled at the trainer as he went to pick up his new Pokémon, "You're pretty good, so, what's your name?" the brunette asked.
"It's Reggie, what about yours?" the black haired trainer replied.
"I'm Nicko, and this is Katie," Nicko replied, "So, like I said, you're good, so you want a battle?"
"Why not," Reggie answered, "Why don't we make it one on one?"
"Sounds good to me," the brunette replied, "So Snivy, you up for this one?" the grass snake nodded, "Snivy," it said confidently, stepping forward.
"A Snivy, not bad, but let's see how it does against this," the black haired trainer said, pulling a pokeball from his belt, "Go Druddigon!" A big, blue dragon, with red spikes on its back and a red head emerged from the pokeball. "Now, why don't you start us of?" Reggie suggested.
"With pleasure," Nicko replied, "Snivy, tie its legs together with Vine Whip!" The vines tied themselves around Druddigon legs, but to both Nicko and Snivy's surprise, the dragon broke free with ease.
"Good job Druddigon," Reggie said, not the least bit surprised by his Pokémon's strength, "Now use Hyper Beam!" The giant dragon blasted a beam of orange energy at Snivy, and the grass snake was hit head on by the attack.
"Snivy!" Nicko cried desperately, but to his amazement, the small starter Pokémon rose to its feet. "Alright, time to make a comeback," the brunette grinned, "Use Leaf Tornado!" The whirlwind of leaves knocked Druddigon momentarily off balance. "Great, now hit it with Leaf Blade!" Snivy slashed the dragon with the leaf on its tail, knocking it to the ground and causing it to cry out in pain.
"Not bad kid," Reggie commented, "Now Druddigon, get up and end this with Draco Meteor!" The dragon rose up and fired a blast into the sky, where it split apart, raining down on Snivy like meteors. Snivy collapsed from the assault, unable to continue.
"Oh no, Snivy are you okay," Nicko cried out it concern, before running to his Pokémon's side. "Snivy," the grass snake said, opening its eyes. Nicko sighed in relief, his partner was okay. He then turned to his opponent, "Hey Reggie, you're even better than I thought, I'm sure you'll win the gym her e no problem."
The blacked haired boy smirked, "I've already won the gym, but it'd be interesting to see you're challenge, mind if I come to watch?" he asked
The brunette smirked, "Sure, and if I were you, I'd stay to see Katie's battle too."
With a new friend made, the gang headed off to the Striaton City Gym, after a quick stop at the Pokémon Centre of course.
So, what did you think of Reggie? He is owned by Jawzfrenzy. Anyway, next time it's finally time for the gym battle, who do you think should battle first? I am accepting OCs, so please R&R and I'll update soon.
