CH 7- A Rocky Rematch

Ash woke up at the break of dawn, only with three hours of sleep, Poliwhirl's Pokeball and Pikachu on his nightstand. The noise woke Ross up, but Serena, in the next room, was sound asleep. Ross changed his clothes, and combed his hair, like Johto's Elite 4, Will. Except instead of purple, blond with blue streaks. Serena, eventually woke up, hair messed up, tossing and turning in her sleep. Serena was not a morning person. Poliwhirl was let out, and Pikachu was waking up. They all did 10 Push-ups (Pikachu can't do a true push-up, but he tried), and stretched, and they were up for the day. Ash went to the gym, practically sprinting, and a 15 minute walk turned into a 5 minute Sprint. Ash was totally psyched about his gym battle. "Um, name?" A referee said. Appointments are booked, no open challengers, sorry." Brock went out the door, and said "VIP." "Right this way then, young man." The referee told him. Brock put him in VIP seating and watched the challengers.

Drowzee vs Geodude

Paras vs Aerodactyl

Cubone vs Aerodactyl

Kadabra vs the new Graveler, as Brock's Geodude evolved in the last battle.

No-one could beat Brock's third Pokemon, though. It was a giant, tough snake, made of large boulders, and it practically perfected the move, Rock Tomb, Bind, and Headbutt. Graveler and Aerodactyl made quick work of a lot of Pokemon. It was harder though, challengers came in with Kadabra, Arbok, Raticate, Nidorino, Nidorina, Machop and Machoke, Scyther, Dragonair, Pidgeots, even Vaporeon, Flareon, and Jolteon. Only few had beaten Brock's Onix. The name title popped up of challengers who won. Some people named Red, Blue, Green, Ethan, Silver, Ruby, Emerald, Black, X, Y, Elaine, Chase, and… Gary. That name fill Ash up with Rage, how he bragged his Squirtle to be the best. His presence made Ash choke. When two more boys showed up, one with Purple, darker hair, and one, Lime hair, announced as the final Morning Battles. The Lime haired one was Trip, who beat Graveler, Aerodactyl, And Onix, with only Cloyster. The second one, a trainer named Paul, came up to brock o 3, Weepinbell lost against Graveler, which started to grow blue of evolution. "Gol… EM!" The Newly evolved Golem yelled. Golem started a Rollout on Paul's next Pokemon, Gyarados, but Gyarados shot up in the air, and released a massive Waterfall. Only Ross knew that move. His dad, Lance, gave him Charizard, Dragonair, and Aerodactyl, and challenge him with two Dragonites, and a Gyarados. All three off them packed Waterfalls that knocked all three Pokemon out quickly. Ross wasn't expecting Brock's Golem to make it, but Golem rolled out, no harm done, and everyone was amazed. Gyarados then shot off a Dragonbreath, finally defeating Golem. Gyarados dropped down to the floor, and Readied a Hydro Pump at whatever was coming out next. Hydro Pump was released on Onix, who quickly fainted. Aerodactyl lost at the hands of A Hyper Beam, and a Leer- Constrict Combo. Trip and Paul were added to the trainers that won. Ross wasn't on there, however. Brock came up to Ross and Ash, led them down to the battlefield, and challenged Ross and Ash to an Elimination tournament. They could use 6 Pokemon, three each, while Brock could only use one. Ross sent out Beedrill, Ash Butterfree. Brock sent out Aerodactyl and Golem. Golem started at Beedrill with a Strong Flame Wheel, and almost OH-KO'd it. Beedrill came back with a Fury Attack-Twineedle Combo on Golem, who was affected by Butterfree's Stun Spore. Golem shook in Palarasis, but eventually came out. It was like a Shed Skin, but only Metapod and Kakuna could have that ability. Darn it. Golem was barely effective on Electric and Palarasis Attacks. Butterfree came in, and her wings turned Purple. It was almost like a Gust or Whirlwind, but much bigger, faster. "It's a….. A Twister." Brock muttered. Only Green and Elaine could do that. Like a… Pokemon Legend. Golem and Aerodactyl were both knocked out at that point. Brock finally called out Onix, which wiped out Butterfree and Pikachu, not to mention both Dratini and Beedrill. It was Onix and Poliwhirl. "Poliwhirl, Confusion, then hit it with the best Water Pulse you got!" Ash screamed at the top of his lungs. "Dig." Brock whispered. Onix went underground, and popped up behind Poliwhirl doing Water Pulse. The recoil of Water Pulse shot Poliwhirl exact dead-center of Onix. "Constrict!" Brock yelled. Poliwhirl started getting grinded by the Rock Snake. "Water Gun on Onix!" Poliwhirl shot out Water, which defeated the massive Onix. Brock sighed as another loss, and added the names Ross, and Ash to the winner's board. Brock walked up to Ash and Ross, presenting Ross and Ash with Boulder Badges. Ross already got one though, so he didn't know what to do with it. "You can sell it, or just… you know, have it from my rematch badge. He gave Ross and Ash both rematch cases, and Ross put his in his 4th slot for the rematches. Serena, Ash, and Ross head out to MT. Moon. What will happen next? Will Ash catch a Pokemon? Will one of the eggs hatch? Maybe both! As the journey continues…
