"Alright," said the referee, "The trainer and the gym leader can both use three Pokemon, only the trainer is allowed to switch out. Ready, go!"
"Alright, Jynx let's go!" said Ms. Endive as she threw out her first Pokeball.
"Jynx!"
"Ahh! What kind of Pokemon is that?" said Chowder, freaked out by this Pokemon he had never seen before.
"This is my Jynx," said Ms. Endive, "And she is the most lovliest lady Jynx in all of Meach city."
"That's a lady?"
"Grrr, yes, now throw out your Pokemon already!"
"Oh, right! Go Zigzag!"
"Zigzagoon!" Zigzag said, ready to fight.
"Alright Jynx, use Double Slap!" Jynx quickly ran over to Zigzagoon and slapped it multiple times. It did some damage, but not a lot.
"Okay, now it's our turn! Use Headbutt!" said Chowder.
Zigzag ran towards Jynx, who didn't look to worried at all. "Light Screen," comanded Endive. Jynx raised her hand and a yellow box formed around her.
"Zigzag!" Zigzag said as he hit the box.
"It barely did any damage!" said Chowder, who couldn't believe it.
"Now use Ice Punch!" Jynx's hand formed an ice fist and she hit Zigzag. Super effective! And since Zigzag was already close to Jynx, it did even more damage.
"Zigzag! You okay?" asked Chowder.
"Zig," said Zigzag, slowly getting up. There was no way he was going to lose to a Jynx! "Zigzag!" it said confidently.
"Hmm, you're stronger than I thought, little boy. But no matter, use Ice Punch!" comanded Endive. Jynx prepared herself for another attack.
"Use Sand Attack!" Zigzag used the dirt in his paws and threw it at Jynx. "Jynx!" it said angrily. She brought down the punch and, miss!
"Now use Headbutt!" Zigzag was able to perform the move quickly since Jynx was so close. "Jynx!" She said as she got hit.
"Now let's try out some of those new moves I taught you, Hidden Power, let's go!" A ball of light formed in Zigzag's paws. He threw it towards Jynx and, direct hit! It was very effective!
"Now let's finish it with Iron Tail!" shouted Chowder.
"Zig..." Zigzag's tail started to glow white. Quickly, he jumped up and hit Jynx with his tail. "Zagoon!"
"Jynx..." Jynx said as she fainted. "My Jynx!" shouted Endive.
"Jynx is unable to battle and so the winner is Zigzagoon!" said the Referee.
"Great job Zigzag, you were awesome!" said Chowder happily. "Zigzag," replied Zigzag. "Why don't you take a nice long rest?" Chowder quickly returned Zigzag to it's Pokeball.
"Let's see you take on this Pokemon," said Endive, "Go Dewgong!"
"Dew gong gong!"
"A Dewgong," said Chowder, "I know what Pokemon to use for this round. Go Turtwig!"
"Tur twig!" said Turtwig happily as she was released from her Pokeball.
Meanwhile, Panini had just arrived at the gym, and had just sat down next to Gorgonzola.
"'Bout time you got here Big Ears."
"Nice to see you too, Gorgy," Panini said sarcastically, "So, what's happening?"
"Pudge just beat Endive's Jynx with Zigzag. Now it's his Turtwig versus a Dewgong."
"Pretty good match up, but not a predictable one," said Panini, "Dewgong is weak against grass attacks since it's half water, but Turtwig is weak against ice attacks. This match could go either way."
"Turtwig, use Razor Leaf!" said Chowder.
"Turrrrtwig!" said Turtwig as she launched her attack.
"Use ice shards!" commanded Endive. Dewgong quickly hurled ice shards at the razor leaves. The shards not only stopped the attack, but also hit Turtwig!
"Turtwig!" shouted Chowder. "Tur..." said Turtwig as it slowly got up. "Do you still want to battle?" "Tur twig!" "Okay, let's try using Bullet Seed!"
Turtwig launched Bullet Seeds at Dewgong. It was a direct hit, but it didn't do much damage.
"Use Aurora Beam!" Dewgong started to form a ball of energy in it's mouth. It then launched a rainbow energy beam directly at Turtwig! "Dodge it!" Turtwig moved fast and dodged it, but just barely.
"That move sure was beautiful, but powerful!" commented Panini.
"Quick Turtwig, use Body Slam!" "Icy wind!" Dewgong opened it's mouth again and blew a cold wind that stopped Turtwig's attack and blew it up into the air.
"I've gotta think of something," said Chowder. Then he remembered what he did with Mudkip's water gun. If only Turtwig had a water gu... wait! That's it! "Turtwig, try and turn yourself around and aim your Bullet Seed attack at the ceiling!"
Turtwig turned itself around and used Bullet Seed on the ceiling. The force of the bullet seed pushed Turtwig back towards the ground, despite the icy wind. Slam! Turtwig landed right on Dewgong, and it was super effective!
"Now jump up and use Razor leaf!" Turtwig jumped off of Dewgong and used Razor Leaf one, two, three times!
"Dew! Gong! Gong!" Dewgong said as it got hit. Finally it fainted. "Dewgong..."
"Dewgong is unable to battle, so the winner is Turtwig!" said the referee.
"Great job Turtwig!" said Chowder. "Tur...twig." Turtwig suddenly colapsed on the ground. "Turtwig!" "Turtwig is also unable to battle," said the referee.
Chowder quickly ran over and picked up Turtwig. "You alright girl?" "Tur..." Turtwig said, tired, but smiling at Chowder, and Chowder smiled back. "Take a good long rest," said Chowder as he returned Turtwig to her Pokeball.
"Alright, my last Pokemon," said Endive. She took out her last Pokeball and threw it up in the air. "Okay Snowy, make mama proud!"
"Snorunt!" said the little triangle pokemon. Endive's last Pokemon was a Snowrunt.
"Aw, it's kinda cute," said Chowder.
"It's looks so innocent and adorable," said Panini as she got out her Pokedex. Snorunt, the Snow Hat Pokémon. Snorunt is said to bring great wealth to any home that it lives in.
"Ha, believe me, that Pokemon is not innocent," said Gorgonzola, "It's pretty tough for a little guy."
"Okay, let's go... Psyduck!" said Chowder as he threw his final Pokeball.
"Psy!" said Psyduck.
"Of course! Psyduck are strong against ice moves! Good choice Num Nums!" Panini shouted happily, wanting to encourage her friend.
"Um, thanks," said Chowder. Actually, he just picked Psyduck randomly and because it had learned some a new move, but the 'strong against ice moves' was a good addition too.
"Okay Snowy, use Bite!" Snowy opened it's big mouth and was getting ready to bite Psyduck.
"Use Confusion!" said Chowder. Psyduck used confusion to stop the attack and throw Snowy.
"Snow..." growled Snowrunt.
"Alright, let's use Hidden Power!" Snowy made a ball of electric energy in it's hands and threw it at Psyduck.
"Psyyyyy!" Psyduck hit the ground hard! "Oh no, a critical hit!" said Panini.
"Psyduck, can you still battle?" Chowder asked the now weak Psyduck. "Psy psy," replied Psyduck as it got up.
"Let's finish this silly duck off Snowy," said Endive, "Use Ice Fang!"
"Snowrunt!" said Snowrunt as it's teeth turned to ice. It bit down on Psyduck's head hard, and even though Psyduck are strong against ice moves, it took a good chunk of damage.
Psyduck won't be able to hold out much longer, thought Chowder. But then he noticed that Psyduck was holding his head. Not because it was being bit, but because "It's getting a headache! Psyduck quick, use Confusion!"
Psyduck's eyes started to glow blue, and slowly, the Snowrunt was lifted off Psyduck's head and then thrown across the room!
"Now let's use our new attack to win this," said Chowder, "Use Focus Punch!" Psyduck began to focus all his energy and hit Snowrunt with all his might!
"Snowwwrunt," said Snowy as it fainted.
"Snowrunt is unable to battle and so the winner is Chowder from Marzipan City!" said the referee.
"We did it Psyduck," said Chowder happily, "We did it, we did it, we did it!"
"Psy," said Psyduck, smiling at it's trainer.
(later)
"Well, I suppose I underestimated you," said Endive, who wasn't very happy that she lost, "Here's your badge."
"Awesome, I got the Thrice cream badge!" "Psy!" "Zizag!" "Turtwig!" "Mudkip!"
"Well, I'm going to go back inside and call that Mung Daal," said Ms. Endive, "You just reminded me that I haven't spoken to him in years I wonder if he ever learned how to properly frost a thrice cream cake. Ha! Better chef, yeah right!" And with that, Endive went back inside.
"So I guess the next town is Cereal City right?" asked Chowder.
"Actually, I was wondering if we could stay her a bit longer," said Panini.
"Um okay," said Chowder.
"Why would we want to stay here longer?" asked Gorgonzola. Panini smiled.
"Because, I challenge you," said Panini, pointing to Gorgonzola, "to a Pokemon battle!"
"Huh?" said Chowder and Gorgonzola in unison.
