Well here's chapter 10 the first gym battle and first time i'm using an npc. Please tell me how I did if you have the time and enjoy the chapter.
"Alright." Kyle breaths in and out through his nose. "Mom i'll be back later today!" He shouts before walking out the door.
"Be safe!" Martha leans out the Kitchen.
Kyle walks down the streets of Goldenrod looking down at the ground while holding onto one strap on his backpack. He finally looks up when he arrives at his destination a giant dome with a brown roof and the word gym in all red caps. Standing in front of the gym is Marcellus, Perdita, and Holden.
"We're ready to cheer you on!" Perdita clenches her fist and smiles.
"Are you guys sure about this?" Kyle fully puts on his backpack.
"To late worrying about it now." Marcellus tosses a pokeball at Kyle. "That's the Magikarp you left at the daycare a while ago, I stayed up all night training it so you better…" He lets out a yawn before finishing.
"How do I know he'll listen to me…" Kyle looks at the pokeball. "Not just him Machop as well, I completely abandoned him when things got tough in my life and stopped using him all together." Kyle pulls out Machop's pokeball.
"You couldn't blame them but i'm sure things will go perfectly." Holden gives Kyle a wink. "Now let's go if we stay here too long you'll overthink things." He pushes Kyle and Marcellus inside the gym.
Kyle traverses the gym easily beating all the gym attendance with Growlithe until finally he reaches an average sized teenage girl with pink pigtails and a white buttoned up shirt standing amid a flowery field and a giant screen to her left with their faces on it.
"Hi! I'm Whitney! Everyone was into pokemon, so I got into it too! Pokemon are super-cute!" Whitney rants.
"Ummm…" Kyle scratches his cheek.
"I like this her!" Perdita crosses her arms as she watches the battle from the sidelines alongside.
"Before we battle i'll warn you i'm good! Go Clefairy!" Whitney calls out a pink and chubby pokemon with two small wings and large pointy ears.
"Go Machop!" Kyle shouts quickly spreading his feet. He glances over to the screen to see a picture of Machop and Clefairy with long green bars underneath them.
When Machop was released from his ball he immediately started looking around the area.
Kyle vs Whitney
"Clefairy use metronome!" Clefairy's fingers glow white as she waves them back and forth.
"Machop use-" Before Kyle could finish Machop had already noticed Clefairy and lunges towards her.
Clefairy opens her mouth and hits Machop with a concentrated stream of water. This doesn't phase him as he presses forward with his attack. She gives a shocked expression when Machop does a point blank karate chop swatting her arcoss the field of flowers.
As the flower petals fall and Clefairy begins to slowly get up Kyle let's out a heavy sigh before returning Machop. "That may have done a lot of damage but that's not what I wanted you to do." Kyle looks over at the screen to see Clefairy's bar has cut in half and is now yellow. "I honestly tried not to use you for this battle… Growlithe use bite!" Growlithe pounces onto Clefairy and sinks his teeth into her right shoulder.
Clefairy screams in pain squirming to break free. "Mimic!" Her teeth turn into fangs as she lets out one final scream before biting Growlithe's right shoulder. The two lock eyes neither wanting to let go.
"Let's tip the scales with ember!" Clefairy lets go screaming, tears start forming in her eyes.
"You're okay Clefairy, use double slap to get him off!" Clefairy grits her teeth and begins slapping Growlithe's face back and forth before he finally lets go revealing a black burn mark on Clefairy's shoulder.
"Oh poo, Growlithe lost already!" Perdita pouts.
"It couldn't be helpt, Growlithe was used to battle all the gym attendance by himself i'm surprised he made it this far." Holden looks at the screen to see Clefairy's bar is now a dark red. He then shifts his eyes alongside Perdita over to Marcellus who had fallen asleep between them and is snoring very loudly.
"I feel like I can finish this with the next attack. Magikarp use tackle!" Kyle throws the pokeball high in the air and Magikarp dives down like a swan.
"Mimic!" Clefairy jumps up and collides with Magikarp head first. The two struggle for a second but soon enough Magikarp presses forward taking her with him. "Clefairy lost… To a Magi… karp." Whitney looks in disbelief as Magikarp floops on-top of an unconscious Clefairy.
"One down." Kyle gives a slight grin.
"I'll make you pay! Miltank use stomp!" Whitney looks up to Kyle with a glare and calls out a mostly pink cow pokemon with a yellow belly and two small horns on its head. Miltank steps on Magikarp knocking him out with no effort at all.
"Weak…" Holden and Perdita mutter in unison.
"Guess I have no choice. Machop!" Machop once out looks back at Kyle from the corner of his eye.
"Rollout!" Miltank curls up into a ball and rolls towards Machop like a bowling ball.
Machop's eyes shoot forward and begin to glow red.
Miltank's attack hit causing Machop to stumble back but she didn't stop spinning, instead she made a u-turn heading straight back at him.
The fallen flower petals begin to float as Machop clenches his fist.
Miltank strikes again this time causing Machop to take a knee.
"Leer then focus energy, he's trying to end this in one hit." Kyle looks at Machop who has his arm crossed over his shoulder. Before Machop could even move Miltank had already landed another hit.
"He has the power, just not the timing." Holden strokes his chin.
"If you're going to attack do it… NOW!" Machop reacts to Kyle's words and redirects Miltanks rollout into a Clefairy statue completely shattering it. He looks at his hand to see a giant red bruise covering half of it. "Tsk so close and I don't think I can time the attack like that again!" Kyle looks over to the screen to see Miltanks red bar.
"This'll end it!" Miltank like a cannonball fires at Machop with blinding speed and power ripping the flowers and the dirt from the ground.
"You don't have to listen to me ever again… Please just this once… Take the attack and use seismic toss!" Kyle pleads to Machop.
Miltank hits Machop full force but he only slightly slides back. Machop grabs both sides of the spinning pokemon stopping its rotation before jumping high in the air and slipping into a backflip. He then throws her into the ground head first.
"Most Magnificent!" Perdita jumps up and down for joy.
"I won?" Kyle pants looking at the screen. Machop only had a slimmer of health left.
"You're mean! You shouldn't be so serious! You… You child, you!" Whitney's tears fall to the ground as her cries echo the entire gym.
"Huh! What I miss?" Marcellus jumps up with drool coming from his mouth.
"Um…" Kyle walks over to Whitney.
"What did you want?" Whitney sniffles.
"I won so…"
"Oh right the badge, I forgot." Whitney reaches into her pocket and hands Kyle a small yellow diamond. "Here's the plainbadge." She wipes the tears from her face and smiles. "Ah, that was a good cry! You and your friends come visit again, okay!"
