A/N - Hi everyone, I had to do some googling into the Fairy type. I actually am completely new to this type as I haven't played Pokemon X and Y or Pokemon Omega Ruby or Alpha Sapphire, which is kinda sad because I use to get the new Pokemon games as soon as they would come out, but with school and that I can't find the time to get a copy but I have since played Pokemon Moon but haven't gotten far into the story yet.
Hiccup's P.O.V:
As we enter the Neraida City Gym, it looks a little strange. It's bright pink and looks more like a day-care than an actual gym.
"Grandmother I'm back!" shouts Astrid. After a minute, a small old lady appears.
"Wait, the gym leader is your grandmother?!" says Jack shocked.
"Yes, that correct, her name is Gothi " replies Astrid.
"Grandmother, these two trainers are here to challenge you," says Astrid showing us to the old woman. Gothi looks at us and nods.
"Forgive my grandmother, she's a woman of few words" explains Astrid.
Suddenly the old woman points at Astrid and makes a hand gesture as if to tell her to come stand on the Gym Leader's side of the gym. I see Astrid getting angry and upset.
"I told you, gran, that I don't want to become the Gym Leader!" shouts Astrid.
"Wait, you a gym leader," Jack says laughing a bit.
"What's so funny?" asks Astrid a bit pissed off.
"Nothing, it's just you don't seem like the type of person to be a gym leader, is all" he replies still laughing.
"Whatever, I'm still not going to be a Gym Leader Gothi!" shouts Astrid again.
Suddenly the old woman holds up a Pokeball as if challenging Astrid to a battle. "My dear, if you can beat me in a battle, then you don't have to become the Gym Leader," says Gothi.
"Fine, if that's the case bring it -" she starts but I gets in front of her.
"Hiccup what are you doing?" Jack whispers to me.
"Gothi, I will take the place of Astrid and if you win, then I will gladly let you challenge her," I tell the old woman.
Jack's P.O.V:
This surprise Astrid, Gothi and myself. Why is he doing this for a girl he only just met a few days ago? I ask myself. Could it be, that he likes her? I think to myself sadly. Then he doesn't like me in the same way.
"Very well then, my boy," says Gothi.
"Hiccup, what are you doing?, you're at a serious disadvantage, my Grandmother uses Fairy types in this gym, your Dragon-type moves will have no effect," says Astrid.
"I don't care, you shouldn't be forced into doing something you don't want to" replies Hiccup "Now go, I choose you Dragonair," says Hiccup as he sends his Pokemon into the battle.
"My, oh my, a Dragon type?, this match is going to be quite short," says Gothi as she throws her Pokeball into the air.
"Now, let's show this young man the power of the fairy type, Florges," she says as the Pokemon emerges from its Pokeball.
I scan Florges with my Poketec, and the Poketec finishes scanning it and begins to speak.
"Florges, the Garden Pokemon, It claims exquisite flower gardens as its territory, and it obtains power from basking in the energy emitted by flowering plants," says the Poketec.
Battle P.O.V:
"Dragonair uses Iron Tail" commands Hiccup as Dragonair leaps into the air and slams its tail into Florges, which doesn't even budge.
"What!? that was super effective?" questions Hiccup.
"It appears, you are a new trainer, my Florges is super defensive," says Gothi "Now Florges uses Grassy Terrain, and then Energy Ball," says Gothi.
In the blink of an eye, the normal sandy like battlefield has been transformed into a beautiful meadow full of flowers and Dragonair gets bombarded by dozens of the energy ball.
"I understand now, Gothi used grassy terrain in order to increase Florges' power," says Jack as he remembers what the Poketec said about Florges earlier.
Dragonair finally can't take it anymore and jumps out of the way to avoid the rest of the energy balls.
"Quick Dragonair uses Ice Beam," says Hiccup as a beam of blue light shoots out from Dragonair's mouth and directly at Florges. Suddenly Florges' eyes light up and the Ice Beam is turn around and sent flying back at Dragonair. Freezing the Dragon Pokemon on the spot.
"What just happened!?" shouts Hiccup confused.
"That my child, is what is known as a Psychic attack," says Gothi a bit disappointed "Now Florges uses Solarbeam and finish his Dragonair" continues Gothi.
Before Hiccup has time to react, his frozen Dragonair is blasted by the Solarbeam and lands at his feet unable to battle. Hiccup returns Dragonair to his Pokeball and grabs his second Pokemon.
"Okay, Gible, I'm counting on you," says Hiccup as he sends Gible onto the battlefield. Gible sees the treat and looks up at Hiccup who gives a reassuring nod.
"Gible use Attract," says Hiccup.
"Hiccup, no!" shouts Jack.
"My, you are quite the foolish boy, your Gible is a girl no?, all Florges can only be female," says Gothi disappointed once again. "Florges uses Double Team, then Vine Whip to tie Gible up," says Gothi.
Before Hiccup can put together what's happening Gible is completely tied up and is unable to free herself from Florges' Vine Whip. Gible lets out a cry as the Vine Whip begins to squeeze her tight.
"Gible use Sandstorm!" Shouts Hiccup.
Florges is thrown up into the air by the Sandstorm attack, freeing herself from the Vine Whip. Suddenly a bright light blue surrounds Gible and blinds everyone in the Gym when everyone finally opens their eyes again, Gible has evolved into Gabite
"Gible you evolved, that's awesome," says Hiccup excited.
"Okay Gabite uses Metal Claw!" shouts Hiccup again. Gabite's claws sharpen and it charges a Florges at incredible speed, that Gothi doesn't have time to give a command to her Florges before her Pokemon is painfully hit.
"Florges are you okay?" says Gothi worried.
Florges struggles to get up and is hit by another Metal Claw, this time however she is unable to continue battling. Gabite looks exhausted, and Hiccup has only managed to beat one of Gothi's Pokemon.
"My, my, I certainly didn't expect you to beat my Florges, looks like I'll have to bring out a stronger Pokemon," says the old woman as she returns her Pokemon to its Pokeball.
"Come to my aid, Slurpuff," says Gothi. In a flash of white light, the fluffy Pokemon stands against Gabite.
"Your Gabite seems to be quite tired, in that case, Slurpuff use Fairy Wind" announces Gothi.
Suddenly Slurpuff begins to spin around quickly creating a tornado, which is sent flying directly at Gabite.
"Gabite, dodge it!" shout Hiccup worried.
Gabite is too tired to dodge the attack as quickly as it normally would and is hit by the attack in mid-air. Gabite is thrown onto the ground and slowly rises back to its feet. The attack was super effective and Gabite looks like it's about to fall over and not be able to get back up.
"Gabite use Rain Dance!" shouts Hiccup again.
Suddenly rain clouds block the light coming in from the open ceiling and it starts to drizzle, but then Gabite collapses and is unable to battle. Hiccup returns the Pokemon to it's Pokeball and beings to apologise to it thinking that it's his fault.
"Hiccup, get a hold of yourself, it's not your fault!" shouts Jack.
"It's up to you now Kingdra," says Hiccup. The Dragon Pokemon lands on the field using its curled tail for support.
"Kingdra use Ice Beam," says Hiccup.
"Slurpuff use copycat, now use Ice Beam as well," says Gothi.
Both Pokemon send a blast of Ice at each other which collide. Both Pokemon are giving it all they've got, neither one wanting to move an inch.
"Slurpuff, Double Team, and keep using Ice Beam," says Gothi.
Suddenly Kingdra is surrounded by a dozen of pink and white fluff balls. Then one by one they use Ice Beam which hit Kingdra directly causing it to slow being losing the stalemate between itself and the original Slurpuff.
"Kingdra jump up high, and spin around while using Hydro Pump!" shouts Hiccup. Kingdra leaps into the air at top speeds surprising everyone.
"So that's what that Rain Dance from earlier was for," says Astrid shocked. "Kingdra's ability is Swift Swim, which increases its speed in the rain" she continues.
Kingdra beings to spin creating a whirlpool which destroys all of the fake Slurpuff and hits the original with so much force, sending it into the air, causing it to spin out of control.
"Slurpuff, quickly uses Energy Ball," says Gothi. The Pokemon stops its spinning and sends a bright green glowing sphere at Kingdra.
"Kingdra counter it with Flash Cannon!" announces Hiccup. Within seconds a ball of white light is sent flying at Slurpuff's Energy Ball causing the battlefield to fill up with smoke. There is a few moments of silence as everyone waits for the smoke to clear.
"Slurpuff use your sense of smell, to find Kingdra through the smoke and use Drain Punch," says Gothi. The smoke clears just in time for everyone see Slurpuff charging at Kingdra with its fist glowing.
"You should never underestimate cute Pokemon," says Gothi.
'And you should pay more attention to your surroundings" replies Hiccup.
Slurpuff hits Kingdra with the Drain Punch, but suddenly Kingdra disappears causing Slurpuff to fall forward onto the ground. Gothi looks shocked at what has just happened.
"What the!?" she says in disbelief.
"Like I said, you should pay attention to your surroundings" replies Hiccup. Gothi looks up to see Kingdra in mid-air.
"You were so caught up in the battle, that when the arena filled up with smoke you didn't hear me tell Kingdra to use Double Team, and as a result, Slurpuff hit the fake Kingdra," says Hiccup.
"I'm impressed my boy" she smiles.
"Kingdra, Water Gun full power!" shouts Hiccup.
Before Slurpuff has time to dodge the attack, it is hit by the Water Gun and lands at Gothi's feet, unable to battle. Gothi thanks Slurpuff for trying its best and returns it to its Pokeball. Kingdra is exhausted after the battle.
"My, oh my, its been such a long time since I've had to use my favourite Pokemon, now Altaria take the stage," she says sending out the cloud like Pokemon.
"I presume you saw, my granddaughter, Mega Evolve her Mawile, well let me show you an even more powerful Mega," says Gothi as she touches the Mega Stone that is on her walking stick.
Suddenly Altaria begins to transform and bursts out more with a more fluffy and bird-like design.
"May I present to you, Mega Altaria" says Gothi.
A/N - Oh no, looks like Hiccup is going to have to face his first Mega Evolution, with Kingdra still damaged and exhausted. What will happen in the next chapter? When the journey continues to unfold.
