Chapter 10

Rematch at Pewter City!

Rowan and Lenna walked into the gym for Rowan's rematch and saw Forrest and someone Rowan didn't see earlier. With them was a Blissey and a Swampert. The two looked to be related, having the same tint of skin and their eyes where the same.

"You see Forrest, if you don't feed them proper vitamins then their training results won't show." The older man told Forrest.

"I see, thanks a lot Brock. Oh, I see your back." Forrest said to Rowan. Brock looked up and smiled.

"Hey, your here for a rematch. My little brother told me what happened in your last one. I'll act as judge alright Forrest." Brock told him

"There is a problem though Brock, you took out my only gym Pokemon. I need you to stand in for the leader, I mean you was the leader a long time ago. And you did travel with Ash too so you should be really good." Forrest told him.

"Well, I really don't know about this. I am really not the leader so it won't be official would it?" Brock said.

"But your are the leader, I grant the leadership status to you Brock." Forrest said.

"Wait what? Just a minute." Brock started

"Well, I challenge this gym for my first badge so lets get started." Rowan said.

"Fine, you asked for it." Brock said, seeing that he is cornered on all sides.

Forrest stood in the Judge's box while Rowan and Brock took their places.

Forrest- "This will be a two on two Pokemon Battle. Only the challenger may substitute and there is no time limit. Begin!"

Brock: "Go Sudowoodo!"

Rowan: "Chikorita, your up!"

Sudowoodo came out with a salute to Brock and faced Chikorita as it appeared in front of it. Chikorita twirled it's leaf around, as if ready to go.

Rowan: "Lets start off with Razor Leaf Chikorita!"

Brock: "Run through it with Double Edge!"

Chikorita sent a barrage of leaves at Sudowoodo, who used Double Edge to run right through them without any damage. It stopped in front of Chikorita, who squeaked with surprise.

Brock "Now use Hammer Arm!"

Rowan: "Vine Whip it quick!"

Sudowoodo's arms glowed white as it quickly charged energy to hit Chikorita, but Chikorita was faster. Vines tied up Sudowoodo, pinning it's arms to it's sides, and picked it up.

Brock: What! That Chikorita's Vine Strength is amazing! Sudowoodo is as heavy as a person yet she is picking him up with ease!"

Rowan: "Thank you, now Chikorita throw it up straight into the air and hit it with Razor Leaf!"

Chikorita obliged to the order and threw Sudowoodo into the air above the center of the field. With nothing to grab onto or push off of, Sudowoodo was a sitting duck for the Razor Leaf barrage that Chikorita sent at it. The leaves pushed it back up as it fell, keeping it suspended. After a good number of hits, Chikorita couldn't keep up the constant flow of leafs so Sudowoodo fell to the ground out cold.

Forrest: "Sudowoodo is unable to battle, Chikorita is the winner!"

Brock: "Nice move, Sudowoodo great job. Return."

Rowan: "Common Back Chikorita, you can watch the next round!"

Chikorita nodded and ran to stand beside of Rowan. Rowan watched Brock as he pulled a ball from his belt.

Rowan: 'Alright, I saw that he had a Blissey and a Swampert earlier but what will he send out next?'

Brock: "Lets go, Toxicroak!"

Rowan: "A what!?"

Toxicroak came out, seeming really calm. He stood there, watching Rowan and croaking slowly. Rowan kind of froze, not knowing what to do next. As if trying to get help he checks his Pokedex

Dex: Toxicroak, the toxic mouth Pokemon. This Pokemon uses poison with fighting skills to a great effect, it will pump poison into it's knuckle spikes when jabbing an opponent to inflict major damage.

Not getting what he needs he pushes the pacific info button on the dex.

Toxicroak, Poison and Fighting type.

Strong against Steel, Grass, Rock, Dark, Normal, and Ice Types

Weak against Flying, Ground, and Psychic Types.

Rowan: 'Great, the only Pokemon I have that would be good against that is Pidgey. But yesterday Pidgey flat out ignored me in training, yet this morning it seemed to lesson to me in early morning training as well as Staryu or Chikorita. Staryu would be somewhat..'

Special Abilities: Anticipation or Dry Skin.

Anticipation: Can predict super effective or instant knock out moves.

Dry Skin: Water type moves recovers the user but Fire type moves are more effective.

Rowan: 'Come on! So if that Toxicroak has Dry Skin then Staryu won't be any good. Is there a way to tell at all?'

Rowan clicks the button again to get "No more information available"

Brock: "What's wrong, not know what to do here? You need to hurry up and make your decision or you'll be disqualified."

Forrest: "He is right, you have thirty seconds to make your choice."

Rowan: "What!? Fine, I'll use.........Staryu!"

Staryu came up, ready to battle. It flailed it's two arms and flashed it's central core slightly to show it was ready. Forrest nodded and waved them to start. Toxicroak sat there, watching Staryu intently.

Brock: "Oh well, too bad Toxicroak isn't a rock type like you planed. Now use Dark Pulse!"

Rowan: "Use Water Gun!"

Toxicroak charged up the swirling dark mass in it's hands as Staryu fired a jet of water towards it. It then fired Dark Pulse into the water, sending it away like it was nothing. Staryu barely dodged the Dark Pulse as it flew by.

Rowan: "Don't let it get close use Water Gun again!"

Brock: "Fearing Toxicroak's poison wont' do you any good, use Poison Jab to push through the water jet!"

Toxicroak's knuckle horns glowed a bright purple as it quickly jabbed at the incoming water. The water flew away from it, causing not ever a drop to touch Toxicroak's face or body. Rowan stared in awe as Toxicroak stood at ease.

Rowan: "Fine, use Rapid Spin now!"

Brock: "Counter with Brick Break!"

Staryu spun at a high speed to hit Toxicroak, but Toxicroak jumped above it and used Brick Break to slam it into the ground. As the dust moved aside, Staryu's central core was blinking and beeping.

Forrest: "Staryu is unable to battle, Toxicroak's the winner!"

Rowan: 'Your kidding me! One hit was all it took, I can't do this. That Toxicroak's way to good! Wait a sec, if I give up here then I would be letting Chikorita down. As well as Metapod, Staryu, and Pidgey. I got to pull myself together.' "Chikorita can you handle it?" Rowan asked his little friend.

Chikorita nodded to him and ran into the battle. Toxicroak stared at it calmly and just croaked. Brock smiled and nodded to Forrest.

Forrest: "Battle Begin!"

Brock: "Lets start with Poison sting!"

Rowan: "Don't get hit with that, dodge it and use Razor Leaf!"

Chikorita quickly ran to the left to dodge the incoming needles of poison and threw a few leafs at Toxicroak, who just dodged them by pivoting it's body. It then looked at Chikorita like it wasn't even a challenge.

Brock: "Doing your best to stay out of Toxicroak's range huh? Well that won't work forever. Toxicroak, get in close for a Brick Break!"

Rowan: "Don't let it hit you Chikorita! Use Vine Whip!"

Chikorita quickly threw it's vines at Toxicroak, but Toxicroak just dodged them and closed the gap between it and Chikorita. Then he quickly hit Chikorita in the side with Brick Break, throwing her half way across the field.

Rowan: " NO Chikorita! Are you alright?"

Chikorita stood up kinda slowly, but nodded to show that it was still rearing to go. Rowan nodded back to her and tried to figure out what to do next.

Brock: "Get in now and use Poison Jab!"

Rowan: "Don't let that hit you run away from it!"

Chikorita ran towards the wall, trying to keep away from Toxicroak while watching it. It then bumped into the wall and found itself cornered. Toxicroak closed in to hit it with it's deadly attack, leaving Chikorita no where to turn or run.

Brock: "It's all over!"

Rowan: "No Chikorita! Hurry re..." He cried, about to return his Pokemon as Chikorita rolled underneath of Toxicroak and was behind it. Then, Toxicroak's Poison Jab embedded itself into the wall, sending cracks up the entire side of the wall.

Brock: "Careful Toxicroak! Pull out easy got it!"

"I thought you where defending Pewter Gym Brock not destroying it!" Forrest told Brock to get a glare in return. "Hey I am only joking."

Rowan: "Now use GrassWhistle!"

Brock: "What! Now Toxicroak, use Poison Jab quick!"

As Chikorita got ready to play, Toxicroak pulled it's arm out and jabbed Chikorita just in the front. It was a quick jab, but it was enough to cause serious damage to Chikorita. Chikorita slid back about a foot and fell to one knee.

Rowan: "No Chikorita!" 'Chikorita's hurt bad, I don't want to see her hurt again. I'll end the match here.'

As Rowan raised Chikorita's Poke Ball to return her, Chikorita threw a Razor Leaf at Toxicroak. Toxicroak dodged it and the leaves hit the wall instead. More cracking insured and a hole opened up towards the top of the wall, letting in some really bright sunlight.

Brock and Forrest: "THE WALL!"

Rowan: "CHIKORITA!"

As soon as the sunlight hit Chikorita, she smiled. She then started pulling in the light into herself, her leaf glowing white.

Rowan: "What is this?" He asked his dex.

Dex: Synthesis. A grass type move that allows the user to absorb sunlight to recover it's health. The stronger the sunlight, the more the Pokemon will recover.

Brock: "Toxicroak don't let it heal! Use Dark Pulse now!"

Toxicroak fired the Dark Pulse quickly, but Chikorita just dodged it. It then looked at Rowan and nodded.

Rowan: "Use Vine Whip and whip that Toxicroak into shape!"

Chikorita used it's left vine to tie up Toxicroak and lift it into the air with little problem. It then used the other whip to slap Toxicroak's face several times.

Brock: "Get out of there with a Poison Sting!"

Rowan: "Don't give it the chance, swing it round and slam it!"

Chikorita spun Toxicroak around and around fast, where it couldn't aim for the vines or Chikorita, and then slammed it hard. A smoke screen came up due to the impact, and cleared to show a out cold Toxicroak.

Forrest: "Toxicroak is unable to battle, Chikorita wins the battle and Rowan wins the match!"

"ALRIGHT ROWAN, YOU DID IT I KNEW YOU WOULD!" Shouted the forgotten Lenna, who's cheers where drowned out by the battle and Rowan's concentration. She ran down to slap him in the back as Brock, Forrest and Chikorita made their way to Rowan as well.

Chikorita jumped into Rowan's arms and rubbed her head against his arm lovingly, proud of herself and happy to win this time. Rowan petted Chikorita's head around the leaf and smiled to Brock, who took something from Forrest.

"Here, take this Rowan." Brock tells Rowan as he hands him a small badge. It gleamed in the sunlight even though it was a dull gray. It's simple shape was in the form of a bolder. "This is the Bolder Badge, proof that you overcame the gym here and started your journey towards the Pokemon League. Take it with pride."

Rowan took it, pride definitely over taking him. He held it up for Lenna and Chikorita to see in the light, just to have something shoved into his hands by Lenna.

"Here, I bought you a badge case in town yesterday with your money. It will protect your badges and keep em from getting lost." Lenna told him.

The case was a simple, thin, rectangular box that was blue. Rowan opened it up to find soft velvet and eight indents for badges to be placed. He placed his Bolder Badge into the top left spot and put the case away in his backpack.

"How is this, you all can come to dinner with us. I'll cook something up that will blow your minds." Brock told them. Rowan's stomach growled in agreement as Lenna grabbed the back of his shirt.

"Can't, I reserved a spa day for me and Rowan and our Pokemon and we can't miss it. I paid too much money to. We got to go now or we will, LATER BROCK!" Lenna told him, then ran-drag Rowan out the door.

"Wait I want to eat though I am starving!" Rowan cried as he was dragged out. "And my Pokemon needs healed anyway!"

"They'll do that at the spa! Now stop whining!" Lenna said as the door shut behind them.

Brock and Forrest laughed at Lenna and Rowan's departure and turned to the broken wall.

"That Lenna, hasn't changed a bit. Wonder what she is doing this far south?" Forrest said

"I don't know, but I think she is working to retire." Brock told his brother, pulling out a badge that looked like a Yin Yang symbol except that it was red and blue without the dots.
