First of all, I would like to give Yin-Yang Yo-Yo, PichuAuraGuardian18, and Supernal Godzilla, for guessing half of the two stories. The first was Feircer Than A Legendary by The Shiny Gengar and the other was in the story so it was much harder to find, but it was Pokemon:Leauge of Ultimates by PichuGuardian18. It was hard for peeple to find that one, inlcuding the author. So half of the experience.

Brendan's POV
"MAY!" I heard from the person who bumped into me. He was probably a few months older than me and and a year older than May. He had pale tan skin, raven black hair, a red and white cap on with a blue pokeball, and brown eyes. He wore a short-sleeved hoodie with blue covering the hood, the arms, and curving just below of the chest. He had two black curves on his jacket, one near his neck, and the other was separating the blue and the white. The jacket was white under the second black curve, with two blue slits, for the pockets. He had an upside down, yellow, y-shaped zipper- zipped up of course. He also wore a black fingerless glove with red at the end. He wore black pants and red and black shoes. On his shoulder was a Pikachu. Two other people were with him.
Next was a tan girl with purple, almost like a bush, hair and brown eyes. She had two tails of hair sticking above her head, staying up with two yellow ribbons. It then led to a bush of purple hair, stopping short above her butt. She then had a pony tail sticking out of the bush, connecting with another yellow ribbon. She wore a beige long-sleeved shirt with pink covering the ends of the sleeves and a small part around her neck. She wore a pink skirt with a giant ribbon in it. She had white stockings, which just stop a little bit under her knees, with yellow covering the end of it. She had pink, yellow, and white shoes. Peeking out of the hair was an Axew. He had a dark green shark fin horn sticking out of his head. His body was mostly a lighter shade of dark green, with a light green, almost seems like scarf. He had red eyes with dark green around the eyes.
Finally there was a pale skin man with green hair with four round spikes sticking out. He had green eyes and a waiter's outfit. He had on a black vest with three gold buttons going up and a white shirt. He wore black slacks and brown and yellow shoes. He had a green bowtie to complete his outfit.
The guy then walked over to May. "May, what are you doing here?"
"Competing in contests and aiming to be Top Coordinator. So, are you going to introduce me to your friends or not?" she asked with tint of playfulness in her voice.
Ash then point to the girl. "This is Iris. She's traveling with me to become Dragon Master." Iris waved. He then point to the man. "This is Cilan, a Pokémon connoisseur. He helped me find my way to Striaton Gym."May of course asked, what a Pokémon connoisseur is, which Cilan happily explained. Ash waited for some seconds before he spoke again. "May, aren't you going to introduce your friends?"
Before May spoke, I introduced myself. "My name is Brendan, May's cousin. I'm aiming to be Pokémon Master and Top Coordinator." I heard Ash breathed a sigh of relief as soon as I said that I was May's cousin. "Well this is going to be interesting." I thought to myself.
Winter introduced herself next. "I'm Winter and I'm traveling with these two to become Top Coordinator." After the introductions, we enter the gym to find ourselves in a restaurant. The customers there stared at us as we enter the gym. Two waiters, who looked like Cilan, but noticeable changes, escorted us to a table. One waiter had a blue bowtie and blue hair drooping drown like water, some of it covering one of his blue eyes. The other had a red bowtie with red hair, which looked like it was a fire, and red eyes.
"So what would like to order?" the red-haired guy asked.
"May I interest you in a drink?" the blue-haired man asked. They continued to pester us with questions, until Ash finally had it and screamed, "I just wanna have a Striaton City Gym battle!"
The questions stopped and the waiters and customers, who were all girls, looked at Ash. He began to leave, but the lights dimmed and the waiters had the spotlight, including Cilan. I didn't listen much, until Cilan announced that it was the Striaton Gym. After that the red-haired guy, whose name is Chili, said that they are the gym leaders. Cress, the blue-haired guy, continued.
"We're triplet brothers."
"And we're the gym leaders!" all three brothers finished with. The wall behind them began to open and Ash and I followed them. Winter, May and Iris went upstairs to watch us.
"It's time to choose your opponent, Ash. You can choose Chili, Cress, or me." Cilan explained.
They released their Pokémon. All of them looked like beige monkeys, but there were a few key differences. One had red hair shaped like a flame with red ears with orange inside. His face was kind of yellowish beige along with his chest and arms. His legs, torso, and tail were red.
The second was green, with a little green tree on top of his head. His head was mostly green along with the edge of his ears. Inside of the ears was a light green color. The rest of his face, body, and arms were yellowish beige. His legs and tail were green.
The third was blue. He had blue mostly near the top with hair that seems like it was spouting water. He had blue along the edges of his ears with light blue in them. His face was again, a yellowish beige. He had blue near the top of his body, instead of below, and blue on the end of his tail. The rest was yellowish beige. I scanned them with my Pokedex as Ash did.
Pansear- the High Temp Pokemon. This Pokémon lives in caves in volcanoes. The fire within the tuft on its head can reach 600° F.
Pansage- the Grass Monkey Pokemon. It shares the leaf on its head with weary-looking Pokémon. These leaves are known to relieve stress.
Panpour- the Spray Pokemon. The water stored inside the tuft on its head is full of nutrients. Plants that receive its water grow large.
The Pokedex explained each of the Pokémon, respectively.
"So we have Pansear, a Fire-type, Pansage, a Grass-type, and finally Panpour, a Water-type. Anyone of them would be a great opponent." Ash exclaimed.
The three brothers crowded around Ash again, asking for the battle. "Alright, I choose to battle all three of you!" Ash said. The three brothers begin to think about what to do, since they never had a challenger like this before.
"Alright, Ash! You need two wins to get the badge. So let the battle begin!"
May's POV
I'm glad that I finally found Ash, but worried about how he takes on the challenge. Ash's first battle is against Chili.
"Tepig, I choose you!" Ash threw the pokeball and Tepig came out.
"It takes courage to challenge a Fire-type Gym Leader with a Fire-type Pokémon."
Moments Later
"Pansear is unable to battle. Tepig wins the battle!" Cilan shouted. I still couldn't believe how the battle went. After Tepig's fire attacks failed, Pansear used Dig. Ash commanded Tepig to go after Pansear. Pansear emerged from the hole with his tail being bitten by Tepig. Tepig swung him around until there was enough momentum to send him flying, but it was not enough to make him faint. Tepig then used Ember and Tackle to make him faint.
As I lost myself in my thoughts, I quickly resumed myself to the ongoing battle.
Ash had Pikachu out and Cress had Panpour.
"Using an Electric-type like Pikachu against a Water-type like Panpour, I'm beginning to think that Ash had thought this one through." I heard Iris said. I fumed at her statement, but it almost sent me over the edge if Winter didn't calm me down.
"Pikachu, use Quick Attack!" Pikachu was running at a blinding speed.
Cress remained calm. "Panpour, use Double Team." There were copies of Panpour and Pikachu hit the wrong one and went through it. "Now, Panpour use Scratch!" The copies followed with Pikachu and scratched him.
"Pikachu!" Ash shouted with worry.
"Pikachu is an Electric-type, of course, so there's definitely an advantage there. Even so, it's still no match for my Panpour! Alright, Panpour use Water Gun!"
Panpour shot a stream of water from his mouth while Ash told Pikachu to dodge it, and dodge it he did.
"Alright, Thunderbolt, go!" Ash ordered. Pikachu was getting ready to shoot out his attack.
"Panpour, aim at Pikachu's feet!" Panpour shot his water gun at Pikachu's feet, making him slide on the ground.
"Pika, Pika!" I heard from the battlefield.
"I saw right through your attack patterns. Such an obvious move." explained Cress. The annoying cheerleaders near us began cheering for Cress.
"Now we'll take turn attacking and defending! Start off with Water Gun!" Cress commanded.
"Pan, Pan!"Panpour again shot out a stream of water aiming for Pikachu and it him.
"Pikaa!"
"Use Scratch one more time!" Panpour went directly to Pikachu and scratched him, repeatedly.
Pikachu managed to get up. "Alright, Pikachu use Volt Tackle!" Pikachu was outlined in electricity as he head towards Panpour.
"Volt Tackle, a move where a Pokémon cause damage to itself. Even so, our anti-Electric-type strategy is perfect. Alright Panpour, Mud Sport!"
Panpour's hands began to glow until; he hit the ground with them, causing a line of mud heading towards Pikachu. Pikachu, mid-way in Volt Tackle, came in contact with the mud stopping it from attacking and making it slide towards Panpour.
Cress snapped. "Finish it up with Water Gun!" Panpour shot the stream of water and hit Pikachu. He struggled to get up, but instead faints.
"Pikachu is unable to battle. Panpour wins!" Cilan said. I stared in shock as Pikachu was taken down.
Ash's Third Battle- Brendan's POV
It was time for Ash's third battle, the battle that would decide everything. He was going up against Cilan's Pansage.
"Oshawott, I choose you!" Ash threw his pokeball into the air. The Sea Otter Pokémon came out, ready to battle. I could sense fear as Oshawott got a good look at his opponent, Pansage. Oshawott went behind Ash. I sweat-dropped at the sight of Oshawott. Ash and Pikachu pushed Oshawott into the field and gave him a pep talk.
"Oshawott Tackle, go!" Oshawott charged at Pansage.
"Pansage, dodge." Pansage just side-stepped, avoiding the attack. "Pansage, Bullet Seed!" Pansage shot seed out of his mouth at Oshawott. Oshawott tried to turn and run, but keeps getting pelted by the rapid-fire seeds.
"Somebody help me!" Oshawott cried. After some running, it laid down on his face and rubbed his back.
Cilan wagged his finger. "Looks like you two need to grow up a bit. You know, mature." Cilan taunted.
Ash was angered by this. "What'cha say?"
Cilan stopped wagging his finger. "You want proof, I'll show you proof. Pansage get close to Oshawott!" When Pansage got close to Oshawott, I can see seat beads and fear in his eyes.
"And now use Bite!" Pansage bit down on Oshawott's head and didn't let go. Oshawott ran around, not seeing his surroundings, he ran into a rock while Pansage didn't.
"Oshawott, use Water Gun!" commanded Ash. Oshawott shot stream after stream of water, but Pansage just kept dodging and dodging.
"You got to aim better, Oshawott!" Oshawott shot again and again. He managed to get Pansage into the air. He shot again and hit Pansage in mid-air.
"Pansage, I think it's time to convert the power of the sun." Pansage hold his hands towards the top of his head and begin to charge for Solarbeam. He finished charging and held the charged orb in his hands.
"Pansage, use Solarbeam now!" Pansage brought his hands back, aimed, and shot the Solarbeam.
"Oshawott, deflect it!" Before the attack hit, I saw Oshawott using his Scalchop as a shield. The attack pushed Oshawott towards a nearby rock.
All of the gym leaders couldn't be more amazed by this. "Now that was a truly fascinating defense move. Oshawott deflected our Solarbeam with his Scalchop. I've seen many of an Oshawott in my time, but that was a first." exclaimed Cilan.
"Just you wait and see. You'll see that my Oshawott is a cut above the rest." bragged Ash.
"Impressive. Then, there's no holding back. Alright Pansage, Bullet Seed!"
"Quick, block it with your Scalchop." Pansage shot the seeds, to have it bounce harmlessly off Oshawott's Scalchop.
"Yes, now Razor Shell!" Oshawott's Scalchop became a curved blue sword as he aimed for Pansage.
"Use Bullet Seed, once more!" Oshawott tried to dodge the attack in mid-air, but failed. The Scalchop was knocked out of his paw.
"Oshawott, get you Scalchop. Hurry!" Oshawott got back up and went towards his Scalchop to be taken back towards his original spot and hit with Bullet Seed.
"Alright, let's begin. The time for the battle to be served is here!" I heard Cilan. Above me, I could hear May, Winter, and Iris asking with curiosity and the cheerleaders sighing.
"Ah, hmm. I'm afraid that you and Oshawott aren't quite as robust as I hoped you would be." Ash had a look of confusion on his face. "Your battle style has no spice and your attacks are rather bland. Sorry, but what a letdown" Cilan continued. I tuned out to the evaluation of Pokémon, until there was some battling to be done.
"Okay, Oshawott use Water Gun and aim at that wall!" Everybody was shocked at Ash's command, everybody but me. I saw what was going to happen. He shot the stream of water at the wall and it bounced off it and bounced off the rocks, until it reached the Scalchop. It hit the Scalchop and brought it into the air.
"Catch it and use Razor Shell!" Oshawott ran towards the shell and grabbed it. He ran over to Pansage and used Razor Shell.
"Pansage use Bite!"
"Use Razor Shell!" The two attacks collided and both were still standing. Pansage fell down with swirly eyes.
"Pansage is unable to battle! Oshawott wins and with two wins, the victor is Ash the challenger." Chili announced. I heard May cheering the loudest, but she was silenced by Winter.
The gym leaders came up to Ash with the badge. Cress was holding the tray with the badge. "Here Ash, this is for you."
"This badge is proof you defeated the Striaton Gym." continued Chili.
"It's called the Trio Badge." finished Cilan. Ash thanked them and jumped into the air.
"I got the Trio Badge, my first in the region!" all of his Pokémon he used jumped with him.
I got up and went to the gym leaders. "I want to challenge Striaton Gym. I want to challenge all three of you!
They agreed after healing their Pokémon.
A Few Minutes Later
"Now that all of our Pokémon are healed up, who would you like to challenge first?" The three gym leaders asked.
I looked at them, thinking who to challenge first. After analyzing their Pokémon and their battle strategies, I made my decision. "I choose to battle Cress first, and then Chili, and finally Cilan."
Cilan went to the referee's position while Chili was on stand-by. "Panpour, come on out!" The Spray Pokémon came out with its cheerful expression still on.
"Snivy, assistance please!" My first Pokémon came out of her pokeball ready to battle. "Razor Tornado, Snivy!" Snivy begin spinning while using Razor Leaf, sending the razor sharp leaves everywhere. The super effective attack hit Panpour directly.
"Panpour, use Double Team!" Multiple copies of Panpour came out.
I smirked at the sight as I had a strategy for this. "Snivy, use Vine Tornado!" Snivy got her vines out and begin to spin again, attacking every copy until she grabbed the right one. She grabbed Panpour after several tries. I knew that if Snivy spun again, she would be confused, so I would have to be careful from now on.
"Panpour, use Water Gun to get out!" Panpour shot a stream of water at Snivy, but she just absorbed it like a plant would. "Use Scratch to get out!" Panpour tried to scratch Snivy's vines, but to no avail as he was wrapped by the vines very tightly.
I grinned as I have this one in the bag. "Snivy, signature move: Vine Tackle!" The gym leaders have on a confused face as I ordered the command. Snivy begin to use Tackle while pulling her vines towards her, creating momentum. At the last second, before Snivy tackled Panpour, she threw him at her, creating more momentum.
Snivy hit Panpour directly. He hit the wall and created dust. As the dust fades away, Panpour was shown with swirly eyes.
Cilan was shocked by how I defeated his brother, but managed to referee. "Panpour is unable to battle. The winner is Snivy!"
"Snivy, you did a great job! Take a nice, long rest." I told her before returning her to the pokeball.
Chili then came onto the field. "The next battle between Chili and Brendan will now begin. Call out your Pokémon!" Cilan yelled.
"Midnight, assistance!" I threw out my pokeball, revealing my shiny Misdreavus.
"Pansear, it's go time." The High Temp Pokémon came out onto the field. This was going to be a difficult battle.
"Pansear, Flamethrower!" He shot out flames at Midnight.
"Midnight, dodge and use Shadow Ball!" Midnight managed to dodge the flames and shot a Shadow Ball at Pansear. The arena was covered with smoke.
"Now use Psywave!" Midnight shot out a wave of psychic power at Pansear.
"Pansear, use Dig to dodge!" Just before the wave can hit him, he went underground. As he dug back up, the move didn't affect Misdreavus.
"Use Bite!" In mid-air, Midnight was attacked by the super effective attack, but Pansear didn't let go.
"Use Flamethrower!" Pansear shot out the flames, engulfing Midnight. As the flames cleared, I saw Midnight in the air.
"I'm sor-sorry." Was all I heard before she fainted.
"Misdreavus is unable to battle. Pansear wins!" Cilan again announced.
"Don't worry, Midnight. Now take a good, long rest." I returned her to the pokeball.
Winter's POV
It's one-to-one. The next battle would decide it. I couldn't help, but feel nervous at my crush's battle.
Chili offered to referee. "The final battle between Brendan Withe of Nuvema Town and Cilan of the Striaton Gym will now begin."
"Lillipup, assistance!" I saw Brendan throw his pokeball and out came the Pokémon he caught two days ago.
"Pansage, let's go! You can have the first move from anywhere you like."
Brendan scrunched his eyebrows looking for the right place to go to. "Lillipup, use Dig!"
Pansage looked around, searching for Lillipup. Lillipup emerged behind him.
"Now, Lillipup, use Fire Fang!" Lillipup's fangs began to light up with fire and he bit Pansage. The super effective move managed to take a dent of Pansage's power.
"Pansage, use Bullet Seed!" Pansage shot the seeds and managed to score a hit on Lillipup.
"Lillipup, use Dig again." Lillipup dug underground and again appeared behind Pansage. "Lillipup, use Bite!" Lillipup bit onto the leaves on Pansage's head, again score a hit and regained some health and power.
"Pansage, it's time to convert the power of the sun." Pansage begin to charge his most powerful attack, before unleashing it.
"Dig to dodge!" Lillipup dodged with dig and appeared right in front of Pansage. "Use Tackle!" The surprise attack hit Pansage into the wall, but he still managed to get back up.
"Lillipup, use Fire Bite to finish it!" Lillipup extended his mouth for Bite, but extended it a little bit more for Fire Fang. He rushed towards Pansage and bit down hard. The fire and the extra power of Bite sent Pansage into the air. When he fell down onto the ground, he had swirly eyes.
"Pansage is unable to battle. The winner is Lillipup and Brendan!" Brendan returned his Pokémon. All three brothers came towards him.
"In proof of your accomplishment, here is the Trio Badge." The three brothers said.
Brendan took it and jumped into the air. "I got the Trio Badge!" The Pokémon he used jumped into the air.
Afterwards Ash and Brendan went to the Pokecenter to get their Pokémon healed. May and I went with them. Cilan was there too, asking Ash all of these questions.
May had time to interrupt Cilan. "Ash, could I, Brendan, and Winter join you on your journey?"
Ash smiled. "Of course May, the more the merrier!"
Iris then came into the Pokecenter with her Axew glowing pink…
See you guys later and I may not update for about two week, because of CST's!
With All of my Pokémon,
Aurareader
