Chapter Nine : All Power To Pupitar
Charlotte spent the entire way to Deon town bragging about her newest pokemon, a proud smile plastered on her face. "We're here." They all stopped and took in the sight, it was an older looking town, not many people could be seen, but that didn't matter to the trio they had one thing on their minds, the Blackout Badge.
"This will be a doubles match, Charlotte and Micheal vs. Kayla and Hannah! One pokemon each! No Time limit." Charlotte and Micheal glanced at each other, confident smiles on both their faces, "Lets make this quick." Charlotte said to him, "Just don't get in my way." He joked back, partly serious however.
Rhyhorn and Larvitar were sent out onto the arena, followed by the gym leaders pokemon, Pikachu and Raichu, exactly what Micheal had predicted. "This should be easy." Charlotte titled her head to the side, "Why?" Shaking his head he answered her, "Because are pokemon are immune to their electric attacks." Smiling she nodded, "I knew that."
"How in the hell did you two become gym leaders with those mice anyway? What were you planning to do when someone with half a brain thought to bring a rock or ground pokemon?" The gym leaders just smiled and the older of the two, Kayla, just smiled and said, "we aren't as stupid as you think." "Pikachu, Raichu, use agility!" The two electric pokemon exploded into about 15 exact copies of the original each. "Rhyhorn use Rock Blast and find the original" As the rocks spewed from Rhyhorn's mouth the Pikachu had to move to avoid being hit and as soon as it did Larvitar was on it with a thrash attack, a punch, a kick, and then a vicious tail slam left Pikachu up against the wall with blood trailing from it's nose.
"RAICHU MEGA KICK!" screamed Kayla and while Larvitar's back was turned he was struck in the back and he flew headfirst into the gym wall creating a huge dust cloud to fly up. By this time Pikachu had gotten up the gym leaders screamed together "Pikachu, Raichu, IRON TAIL" the confused and dimwitted Rhyhorn had nowhere to go and both tails slammed directly on his head. He fell in a heap and Charlotte had no choice but to return him.
"Of course Rock pokemon are weak against steel attacks." Charlotte said "It's up to you now Mikey." "Larvitar use Sandstorm!" but no sooner had he said that then a huge, shining light blasted out from where Larvitar was laying. And out of the light emerged Pupitar. A smile came over Micheal's face and he said under his breath "now your done", while Charlotte and Alexis danced in a circle singing "Larvitar evolved!" Pupitar use "Rock Slide!" Pikachu was leveled by an immense rock and Raichu was swiftly brought down by another rock slide attack.
Momentarily after the battle, the gym leaders together walked towards Micheal and Charlotte, awarding them each a Blackout Badge and complementing Micheal on his skills as a trainer. After returning his new pokemon, Pupitar, they left the gym, Micheal's smile never leaving his face.
