"Go Rhyhorn!" Tori exclaimed.

"I chose you, Belloussom!" echo'd Gardenia from across the room.

Belloussom first move was Sunny Day.

"Why would she do that?" Raven asked Jeremy.

"Don't get him started!" Pepe yelled in the background.

"Well, Raven. Belloussom's ability is Chlorophyll, which boost its speed in the sun." Jeremy answered, while trying to ignore Pepe's ranting.

Back on the battlefield, Belloussom was blazing towards Ryhorn to use Drain Punch. At the last second, Rhyhorn stood on his hind legs, and used Stomp, smashing Belloussom at least a foot into the ground. Rhyhorn then used Fire Fang, as the injured Belloussom tried to run away. Rhyhorns burning jaws came crushing down on Belloussom, causing her to faint.

"Ya know? I always thought Belloussom was pretty cool." Even stated.

The comment made Maxy smack him on the back of his head.

"Ow...Dude, you knocked one of my contacts out!"

Gardenia recalled Belloussom, and sent her next Pokémon, Carnivine.

Tori recalled Rhyhorn and sent-out Toxicroak.

Carnivine tried to use Power Whip, but Toxicroak intercepted him with Mach Punch.

"Yeah, Tori! Kick her ass!"

"Even. Language."

"Shut the fuck-up, Jeremy."

Carnivine used Pursuit, and knocked Toxicroak to the ground. Carnivine tried to use Power Whip again, but Toxicroak dodged the attack, and countered with Poison Jab. Toxicroaks hands glowed purple, and he speared Carnivine repeatedly. After Carnivine was knocked to the ground, Toxicroak finished him with Brick Break.

"Hmm. You're a good fighter." Gardenia began. "But this fight is far from over."

"God I hate when they talk." Pepe whispered to Maxy.

"Gym Leaders or Woman." Maxy replied.

"Both." Pepe answered jokingly.

Gardenia sent-out her last Pokémon, Roserade.

Toxicroak quickly used Mach Punch and smacked Roserade on the jaw.

Roserade quickly used Pin Missile, and multiple projectiles at Toxicroak, smacking him over and over. Toxicroak disappeared behind a tree and Roserade was left looking around for him. Roserade used Pin Missile, shooting them in all direction, and breaking down several trees. Then Toxicroack jumped-out of a tree behind Roserade and tackled her to the ground. Then Toxicroak used Poison Jab and smacked Roserade over and over again, until she fainted.

"Here. Take the Badge." Gardenia said resentfully.

"Thank you, Ma'am" Tori replied as he took the Badge from her.

Tori walked to the bleachers and took his camera from Jeremy.

"How'd I do?" he asked.

"Well, I hope you can take the audio out of your video." Pepe butted-in. "Cause Jeremy was yakking the whole time."

"You did great." Jeremy assured Tori, as he gave a sneer to Pepe.

Back on the gym floor, Gardenia went over to where Lys was waiting.

"I believe it is your turn now."

Lys took her spot, opposite Gardenia.

"Shou can goo it, Ryss!" Raven mumblemed from the stands.

"Raven…" Even began "…Why do you sound like you have a dick in your mou- Oh my God, where did you get a Corn Dog?"

"Outside." Raven replied. "It isn't very good, though."

"You know, food always taste better when you steal it from babies." Pepe stated.

Back on the battlefield, Gardenia sent-out Roserade, while Lys sent-out Ponyta.

"Alright, Ponyta, you can do it! Now use Ember!"

Ponyta spat-out a weak flame, and scored a direct hit on Roserade.

Roserade used Sludge Bomb, and smacked Ponyta on the top of the head, knocking her on her belly. Ponyta's next move was Bounce, and she sprang-up in the air, but Roserade used Pin Missile, and knocked Ponyta out of the skies. Ponyta smacked right-into a tree on her way down.

"Ponyta return." Lys ordered. "Go Starly!"

The flying Pokémon broke-out of his PokeBall and began circling the battlefield.

"Starly, use Aerial Ace!"

"Roserade, use Pin Missle!"

Starly flew-up high, then dove down, flying fearlessly into the Pin Missile attack, dodging the missiles as they flew-by. Starly's beak was glowing as he landed a direct hit on Roserade, causing her to fly back into a tree, and leaving her unconscious and unable to battle.

Gardenia's next Pokémon was Cherrim. Cherrim first move was Solar Beam. As she was charging-up, Cherrim was left vulnerable to an Aerial Ace attack, which dealt a lot of damage. Cherrim then unleashed the power that it just stored, and sent a yellow beam of light at Starly, smashing him through several branches before he regained composure. Cherrim next tried to use Petal Dance, but Starly dodged the attack, and hit Cherrim with Aerial Ace again. Cherrim continued to use Petal Dance, and this time scored a direct hit on Starly, sending him flying back towards the ceiling. Starly winced from the damage he had taken, but Lys urged him to keep fighting. Starly again used Aerial Ace, but missed this time, flying right over Cherrims head. Fortunately for Lys, Cherrim was suffering from the effects of Petal Dance, and in her confusion, she smacked into a rock and the already tired Pokémon was knocked-out cold.

"Wow. Lys is up 3-1, things are looking great." Jeremy exclaimed.

"Can. You. Please. Stop. Narrating." Pepe said bitterly, as he smacked his head against his hands in frustration.

Down on the battlefield, Gardenia began to monologue to Lys.

"You've done good, trainer, but my last Pokémon is extremely powerful. I only bring him-out on special occasions, and seeing as I've lost my last two battles, now seemed like an appropriate time… I choose you, Shaymin!"

"Oh my. That's Shaymin it's a very rare, very powerful Pokem-"

"Lalala can't hear you Jeremy! Lalalalala!"

"Way to be mature, Pepe."

Starly looked worried as Shaymin stood across it, but Lys reassured him.

"You can do it, Starly! Aerial Ace!"

Starly's beak began glowing as he darted towards Shaymin.

"Shaymin, Seed Flare!"

Shaymin began glowing very-brightly, and as Starly approached him, Shyamin released his energy in a fantastic wave of green. The attack hit Starly hard. Starly tried to fly back towards Shaymin, but he dropped out of the skies.

"Starly is unable to battle." The referee confirmed.

"Great job, Starly. Now Shellos, I choose you!"

The Blue, East-Sea Shellos popped from her Pokeball. The first attack Shellos tried was Icy Wind, which hit Shaymin, causing him to flinch backwards. Shellos then used Snore, which sent out visible sound waves toward Shaymin, but Shaymin dodged it, and used Giga Drain. Shaymin began glowing as a wave of green came between him and Shellos. The Super-Effective attack K'Od Shellos, and left Lys with just one Pokémon.

"Man, the tables sure have turned." Jeremy commented.

"Yeah, but Lys' last Pokémon is Ponyta, so at-least she has a type advantage." Even responded.

Ponyta took her spot across Shaymin, her hoof stomped then ground, and her eyes became angry.

"Ponyta, Bounce!"

Ponyta sprang high in the air. Shaymin used Energy Ball, but the attack missed. Shaymin had a second attempt of Energy Ball, just as Ponyta came crashing down on him. A huge cloud of smoke filed the air. Everyone waited in anticipation for the smoke to clear. After a few seconds, which felt like hours to Lys and Gardenia, the smoked cleared and the spectators were shocked at what they saw-Both Pokémon fainted on the grass.

Both trainers recalled their Pokémon into their Pokeballs, and met in the middle of the field.

"That was an excellent battle." Gardenia said to Lys. "In the rare cases I tie, I normally don't give-out the Gym Badge, but since I had so much fun, I'll make an exception. Congrats on your Forest Badge."

Lys took the badge, and followed the others outside.

"Excellent battle." Jeremy commended.

"Thanks." Lys replied.

As they were walking to the Pokémon Center Tori began bragging about how nothing could beat his Rhyhorn.

"I swear." He started. "My Rhyhorn is the best. Not only can he beat any other Rhyhorn, but he could beat a Rhydon, too."

"I don't know, Tori, Maxy's Rhydon is pretty good." Jeremy said.

"True dat." Even added.

"Well, there's a battlefield behind the Pokémon Center, how 'bout we settle this there?" Tori offered.

Maxy sighed. "Fine."

"Ow, snap." Even mumbled to Raven.

"It's going down." Raven replied.

"You'd think someone who just battled thirty-minutes ago would be down for the day already." Pepe commented as the group headed towards the center.

"However…this should be good."
