Note: The gyms are like they are in the Anime. You don't have to battle a bunch of trainers before you get to the Gym Leader.
Riley's POV
Maya and I walk into the gym. There is a man standing inside the gym. He looks at us and smiles.
"Hello, girls," he says. "Are you here to challenge Viola?"
"Is Viola the Gym Leader?" I ask him. He nods.
"Uh-huh."
"Then yes, yes we are," Maya tells him. He smiles.
"Then let me get her for you." The man walks away, leaving Maya and I alone.
"I'm so excited!" I say. I'm shaking a bit. Maya looks at me.
"Don't get too excited." She tells me. I'm confused. "Fennekin, remember?"
"Well, at least she's attacking," I tell her. "Even if she's not doing what I tell her to."
A young woman comes into view. She is tall and has blonde hair. She looks confident.
"Are you two here to challenge me?" Viola asks. I nod.
"Yep."
"Who first?"
I seem to freeze up. I look at Maya, who shrugs. "You can go first," I whisper to her.
"Okay then. Riley says I can go first," Maya tells Viola. She nods.
Viola leads us to a battlefield. "Okay," she says. "This will be a two-on-two battle. The battle ends when both Pokémon on either side are unable to battle. Only the challenger may substitute Pokémon. Do you understand?"
Maya nods. I sit down on the edge of the battlefield to watch the fight.
"Froakie, go!" Maya yells. The little blue frog hops out of the Pokeball.
"Froakie, froa!" he yells.
"Okay, Surskit, go!" Viola says. Out comes a small blue Pokémon.
"Froakie, use Bubble!"
Froakie shoots bubbles out of his mouth. They hit Surkit, blowing it back.
"Oh, so you actually hit it?" Viola looks impressed. "Surskit, use Ice Beam on the ground!"
Surskit shoots a beam of ice at the ground. Within seconds, the whole battlefield is completely frozen. Surskit is sliding around with ease, while Froakie is trying hard to keep his balance.
"Froakie, use Bubble again!"
"Dodge it and use Tackle!" Surskit easily slides out of the way of Froakie's Bubbles. It lunges at Froakie, sending him sliding.
Maya clenches her teeth. Suddenly, I can almost see a light bulb go off in her head. "Froakie, use you Frubbles to keep your feet from sliding!"
"Frubbles?" I ask, confused. I think back to the one episode of Pokémon. Frubbles are the bubbles on Froakie's back! They're super sticky. "Good idea, Maya!" I yell, giving her two thumbs up. But she hardly seems to notice.
"Impressive," Viola says. "Using Froakie's Frubbles to keep from sliding. . ." she shakes her head. "Surskit! Use Tackle once more!" Surskit slides across the field. But Maya smirks.
"Froakie, use your Frubbles to stop Surskit from moving!"
Froakie grabs a handful of Frubbles and throws them on the ground right in front of him. Surskit tries to slide around them to hit Froakie, but it can't in time. It's stuck.
"Go Maya!" I yell.
"Froakie, Bubble." Maya commands. The attack would've sent Surskit flying, if it weren't stuck. But it does a lot of damage to the already weakened Surskit. It faints.
"Good job, Froakie," Maya says, smiling. Froakie looks up at her.
"Froa?"
Viola returns Surskit to its Pokeball. "Good job out there, Surskit. You deserve a good rest." Viola takes out another Pokeball. "Okay, Vivilon, it's your turn!"
Out comes a pretty butterfly Pokemon. "Vivilon, use Solar Beam!" Viola yells.
Vivilon does something weird. . . I look up 'Solar Beam' in the Pokedex. It's charging up energy from the sun. And it's the strongest grass type move!
"Froakie! Unstuck your feet from the ice and use Bubble!" Maya yells. Froakie's stuck. He can't get his feet away from the Frubbles. This doesn't look good. He looks at Maya helplessly before using Bubble on Vivilon, who easily dodges it. The Solar Beam hits Froakie. I cover my eyes. I can't look, but I know what's happening when I here Maya yell "Froakie, no!"
Viola smirks. "Froakie is a water type. It was no match for Vivilon's Solar Beam."
"Good job out there, Froakie," Maya says, returning Froakie to its Pokeball. She puts it back in her purse and takes out Skitty's Pokeball. "Skitty, it's your turn." I open my eyes.
Skitty happily hops onto the battlefield. She slides a bit, but manages to avoid Froakie's Frubbles.
"Skitty, use Fake Out!" Maya yells. Skitty slides across the field and jumps into Vivilon's face, claping her paws together. Vivilion flinches and is sent flying back.
"Now use Tackle!" Maya commands. Skitty slidesover to Vivilon and slams into it.
"Vivilon, use Psychic!" Viola yells. Vivilon's eyes glow light blue. Skitty is surrounded by a blue light. She is thrown back so that if she keeps sliding, she will be stuck in the Frubbles left of the ground. As Vivilon lets go of its control over Skitty, she manages to slide so she misses the Frubbles completely. I let out a breath I had no idea I'd held in.
"Skitty, Tackle!" Maya yells. The attack hits. Vivilion is weakened, but it doesn't faint. One more attack should do it. At least, that's what I think. But what do I know?
"Vivilon, finish it with Sleep Powder then Gust!" Viola yells. Some sort of powder sprinkle's from Vivilon's wings. They sprinkle over Skitty. She looks like she's going to sleep on her paws. Vivilion whips up a gust of wind and sends Skitty sliding back.
"No! Skitty, use Fury Swipes on yourself!" Maya yells. Skitty scratches itself in the face repeatedly to wake herself up. She's very weak, but at least she's still standing. "Now use Fury Swipes on Vivilon!"
The attack ends the battle. I jump up. "Maya! You won!"
Maya smiles. "I know that, Riley."
She returns Skitty to her Pokeball as Viola walks over to us.
"This is the bug badge," she says, handing Maya a badge that is shaped like a bug. She turns to me. "So, Riley, are you ready for your battle?"
Okay, so I was going to have Riley's gym battle in this chapter, too, but I've decided that this chapter was already a bit long. So you're gonna have to wait! But don't worry. I'll be updating soon!
