#Not Gonna write a whole lot up here this time, other than to thank everyone who has reviewed followed and faved this bumbling mess so far. Thank you. So, without further ado, I give you, Pewter City#
"Whoa, big city" Green remarked, astonished by its size, having grown up in the middle of nowhere, and even since coming to this world, had not been in a place with more than 11 buildings. But Pewter City easily had hundreds of buildings, everywhere you looked. People and the occasional Pokemon walked about and paid them no mind. Ralts was looking kind of queezy, having taken a bad hit from a Parasect they had to run away from just as they left the Forest, but nevertheless had insisted on staying outside of his pokeball. Just in case though, Green was holding him in her arms.
Their first stop was the Pokemon Center, where they healed up Ralts and the others, and then they looked around the city in a attempt to find a Inn, or hotel to spend the night, as it was midday, and they had no idea how long it would take to find and beat the local gym, so it was best to secure a place to sleep before it got to late, and all the local hotels and inns and such filled up for the night. Eventually they found an inn, and when they went to purchase a room for the night...
"That will be 2,00 Poke for one room per night." The man at the front desk said this wile smiling at them. Sarah looked at Green, who was sweating like mad, still not having the slightest clue what money in this world looked like. "Uhh, I'll pay that, here you go," Sarah took a small metal card out of her pokegear, and with Green watching like a hawk, gave it to the man behind the counter, who scanned it with a red laser, and gave it back, along with their key. "You two have room 187, on the second floor. Simply take the elevator up, and then go left, and then take the first right, and your door will be on the left." Sarah and Green thanked him and followed his directions.
When they entered their room, they found it to be of decent enough size, fitting a small tv, and one bed, and plenty of room around said bed to walk around. There was also a small bathroom that had a toilet and a shower, as well as some towels hanging on a rack for visitor use. They dropped off their packs, minus their pokeballs and pokegears, which they kept with them, and headed back out to the city, picking up a map of Pewter on their way out.
On the map, they had no difficulty finding the local Gym, which unfortunately was located about an hour's walk from the inn they were staying at. Yippee. So they began their trek through the city, looking through store windows along the way To keep themselves entertained, making small talk with one another as well.
As they were walking, they noticed that 2 people, a man in a tuxedo, and a woman with long blond hair impossibly spread out behind her, and was wearing a pink dress with a white overcoat and pink veil on top of it, were walking in the same direction as they were, and had been for the past 15 minutes. Sarah paid them no mind, but Green asked Ralts to keep an eye on them, thinking they looked familiar, but couldn't quite place it.
Green shook her head, thinking that she was just being paranoid, then had a thought, and looked around, and cursed, realizing all her beer had been left behind in her pack. As a rule, back when she was Shawn, Gym Leaders and Elite Four members and the Champion always fell to him more easily when he was drunk. Green wasn't sure if that ability would be carried over, but figured that with Makuhita in her side in this fight, she didn't have much chance of losing...
The rest of the walk continued without interruption, Sarah, Ralts and Green arrived at the Gym, and... So did the two people who were taking the same route as they were and all five entered the Gym at the same time, yet something in Green's mind told her they were not here for a Gym Challenge, though Green could think of no other reason someone would come to a Gym.
The interior of the Gym reflected it's chosen type, Rock, with well... Rocks. Rocks were everywhere, sticking up from the ground, the walls, the ceiling, everywhere you looked, there was naught but rocks.
A man stepped out from behind a cluster of rocks, and approached the 5 of them. He was reasonably tall, semi-dark-skinned, almost tan really, had spiky black hair, and his eyes... Were his eyes closed? No, they were open, but only barely.
"Hello, and welcome to the Pewter Gym, and might I say," the man then fell on his knees in front of Sarah, and looked up at her and declared while snatching her hands, "Miss, you are the most beautiful woman I have ever seen, would you please do me the honor of going on a date with me?" "I would sooner eat shit and choke on it, leading to my death in one of the most disgusting manners possible," Sarah's reply was immediate and heartless, and Green had to give her props, she knew her way around words. For about 5 seconds, the man seemed crushed, then popped up, and prepared to kneel before the blond woman as well, but the man in the tuxedo growled, causing him to back off. Finally he looked at Green, and just said "Eh," and turned and walked away.
"WHAT THE HELL? AM I NOT GOOD ENOUGH TO GROVEL BEFORE OR SOMETHING YOU JERK?" Green, despite not liking this guy at all, was offended by the fact that he didn't even consider her worth his time. He just ignored her and walked a bit further and then turned and said, "My name is Brock, and I'm the leader of this Gym, do any of you wish to challenge me for the badge?" He spoke in a deadpan voice, clearly disappointed by the 3, and each in a different way.
Before Sarah could say anything, Green spoke up " I am here to challenge you, and I'm going to kick the asses of you, and your Pokemon for that embarrassment!" Brock sighed, and said, "Very well, as the challenged, I make the rules for the fight. It will be a 2 on 2 fight using one Pokemon at a time, first one to have two K.O.s wins". Green sighed, she always hated the party size restrictions put on important fights, and preferred just pitting everything she had against everything her opponent had. But, rules were rules, much as she hated it.
With the two strangers and Sarah backing away to a safe distance, Green motioned for Ralts to teleport to the battle field, about 10 feet in front of her. Brock released a Roggenrola, which stood before Ralts, unmoving. Brock made the first move "Roggenrola, use Rock Blast" Green cursed, that meant that Roggenrola was at least Lvl 14, and yelled "Ralts, teleport behind it and use confusion!" Just as Ralts teleported... "Roggenrola, turn around and use Rock Tomb!" Ralts was covered in Rocks! "Ralts, are you ok in there?" Green cried out, worried. "I'm fine Green, don't worry!" Came his response, causing looks of shock on the the face of the man in the tuxedo, and Brock. The woman who was there however, didn't look surprised in the least, but rather, newfound interest was what shown on her face. "That's great, now teleport out of there, over by that stack of rocks to the left of your tomb... I mean your left, not my left."
And so Ralts appeared right next to a towering pile of rocks that were higher then even Brock's height multiplied by 2. "Now use Confusion!" Green yelled. As the Roggenrola started displaying signs of mental agony, Brock yelled, "Rogggenrola, use Rock Blast!"... But Roggenrola didn't do as it was told. Instead it just started wobbling over toward where Ralts was standing. "Roggenrola!" Brock cried, but to no avail. Roggenrola was effectively confused by Confusion.
It stumbled over to right next to Ralts, who had not stopped his Confusion attack, and fired off a single Rock Blast, but it was way off its mark, despite being in a place where it should have been at point blank range. Green smiled, the Roggenrola had acted exactly as she wanted it to. The Rock Blast hit the rock pile behind Raltos, causing it to become unstable. "Ralts, teleport to me now!" Green yelled, and, Ralts executed a series of teleport jumps that eventually ended in Green's arms, due to to the fact that it's natural teleport ability wasn't strong enough to traverse the entire Gym, which was huge, in a single jump. Roggenrola, freed from the constant Confusion stream, snapped out of confusion and looked around, but by the time it noticed the rock pile, it was to to late. In a avalanche of rocks, Roggenrola was buried...
Or so it looked, but the small Pokemon had jumped into the falling rocks, managing to knock its way through some of them with a Headbutt attack, and landed close to the top of the pile. It stumbled out of the pile, fell to the ground, and after taking a couple steps, collapsed.
Brock ran over and ensured it was alright, then returned it to its ball. He then glared at Green, obviously deciding not to hold back with his next Pokemon. "Go, Onix! Avenge Roggenrola!" Brock shouted. But Green only smirked, and allowed Ralts to stay with her, deciding he had taken to much damage to last long against a Onix, and instead... "Makuhita, your turn." Green released the fighting type, her ace in hole for this gym, an act that earned her another glare from Brock, not that she minded. Green wasn't even worried that Makuhita was most likely out leveled by Onix, as she had type advantage on her side, and in the games, while she didn't remember to many specific details about the fights, she remembered that she rarely, if ever, had the level advantage over a gym leader.
"Rock Throw!" Brock yelled, taking the first move once again, and Onix sent 5 rocks flying at Makuhita, when Green said, "Makuhita, jump up and grab one of those rocks, and throw it back at that Onix!" Understandably, this command surprised everyone, but Makuhita did as she was told, and managed to leap up and grab one of the rocks right out of midair, with the others sailing harmlessly by, and while in midair, Makuhita twisted, and threw the rock right at Onix, scoring a hit on the head, and then landed about 10 feet in front of the Onix.
"Onix, use Tackle" Brock commanded, obviously deciding not to use any moves that involved flying objects when Makuhita just proved that such attacks were useless. Green smirked at the idea of having just limited her enemie's move pool, and yelled, "Jump up and roll along the length of the Onix, don't let it hit you!" Onix and Makuhita jumped at each other, but Makuhita aimed it badly, and they were about to collide head on! just before contact was made, Makuhita made a split second last descion, and reached her hand out and grabbed Onix's head, and then pulling, allowing her to vault around and along the length of Onix, just barely avoiding the tackle. Makuhita landed behind where Onix had started, while Onix crashed into the Gym's wall, creating a crater in the wall.
"Now Makuhita, while it's stalled, run up and use Arm Thrust!" "Onix, turn around and use tackle again!" Brock barked out his order just as Green did hers, and the two Pokemon collided in midair, Onix pinning Makuhita with its head while Makuhita used Arm Thrust, and do to her positioning, was able to do it, right against Onix's head. After 4 strikes, Onix fell, and was returned to its ball. Makuhita on the other hand got up and ran towards Green. They had won.
With Makuhita by her side, and Ralts tucked into her left arm, Green walked up to Brock and extended her free right hand in a offer to shake his hand. "Thank you, that was a fun match." She said to him, and he looked back, and said, "You were better then I thought you would be, you earned this badge," he gave her the Boulderbadge, "and this as well," he gave her a disk. "That's TM39 Rock Tomb. You impressed me, so consider it a gift." Green looked at him, and said, "Thank you very much."
Then she turned and said to Sarah, "Your turn," and walked over to where Sarah and the two strangers were. "Actually, you gave my Pokemon a good beating, so I'm going to make sure they're healed and alright first. Miss, I'll be right back." Brock said this and walked out of the Gym, leaving the group of people there unattended.
The woman stood up and walked over to Sarah and Green, and said to Green, "May I speak to you, alone? Of course, your Ralts too, may want to come along." Green watched her for a second, then decided to take the jump and said, "Sure, thats alright, Sarah, I'll be right back, can you watch my Pokemon for me, pretty please?" Green looked at her with baby eyes, causing her to crack and relent to watching them. Green applied a potion to a cut on Ralts that she missed earlier, and then began to walk out of the Gym with the Woman, when the Man she was with began to follow, the Woman said, "No, I will speak with them alone," and he stopped, though he didn't look happy about it. And so, the three of them, Green, Ralts, and the Stranger, left the Gym.
