I'm not sure if anyone is really even reading this fic.
If you have reached this chapter, then I thank you.
However, a story can not live with out readers.
So, until people actual start reviewing or reading, I will quit.
This fic won't be forgotten, all though I will try to write another.
Until then, enjoy this chapter, the mid series pilot.
also, something else importent.
I will be writing battle seens differently to make it easier on me.
example:
Ash: "Pikachu use thunder!"
Pikachu prepares to shock Vulpix.
Brock: "Vulpix counter with firespin!"
if you don't like that change let me know in a review.
One final thing.
When people or Pok mon think, I'm going to put it beginning with * and ending in *.
Chapter Nine:
Falkner's flying fury!
The Trio of Pok mon travelers were just waking up from they're well deserved sleep at the Violet city Pok mon center.
They went and ate breakfast at a nice restaurant wile they still were in the city.
Afterwards, they headed directly for the Pok mon gym.
"You kids again?" asked the gym guard.
"Yes" said David.
"The gym leader is back, and I'm sure he'd be more then happy to battle you" said the Guard, moving aside and letting them enter the gym.
The gym was lit by a standard lightbolb, but David had the sneaking suspicion that it was powered through Pok mon means.
Then again, he really didn't know.
He walked slowly, but confidently.
Soon, he reached the gym's in door stadium where Falkner stood waiting for his next challenger.
Falkner studied David for a moment.
"You are new at this aren't you?" Falkner asked.
"Urr, how did you know?" Asked David.
"Well, I took in to account that you look very young, in contrast with you having no gym badges, and well, it sort of fits together." Replied Falkner.
David was a little discouraged at the fact that Falkner new so quickly, and easily that he was a beginner, but it didn't last long.
He realized that Falkner hasn't seen him battle.
"Ur, can we get on with the match?" Asked David nervicely.
"Sure sure" the gym leader replied, "but I need to explain something to you."
"lately, several gym leader's Pok mon have been becoming so strong and well experienced, that the Pok mon league banned them from compeating in gym battles." Falkner explained, and then continued.
"Infact, my Pidgey and Pidgeotto from when I first started are now 2 greatly powerful Pidgeot."
"So you must come to the conclusion that since Pok mon have been migrating from all the regions, my flying Pok mon arsonal is full of different species of Pok mon."
"In a brief summory, get ready for a pounding." Falkner concluded.
David already new Falkner would be a challenge, but the speech didn't make him feal any better.
"Go Wingull!" Falkner said.
David was interested in this Pok mon, but if you want to think about it, Falkner is an all flying type trainer, so naturally David is inthrawed by his team.
A quick pull and press of the dex, and it spouted information on Wingull.
**No pun intended**
Wingull, the Seagull Pok mon.
"It rides upon ocean winds as if it were a glider. In the winter, it hides food around its nest."
"Interesting Pok mon!" David commented.
"Whats that?" Asked Falkner, "Like my Wingull?"
"I like all flying type Pok mon." Stated David.
"You know kid, I'm starting to like you." said Falkner.
"A lot of Flying Pok mon are looked down on don't you think?" Falkner asked.
"Definitely." Answered David.
They realized they were in the middle of a battle, and they focused on that again.
"I choose you, Hoothoot!" David declaired, throwing his Pok ball containing the newly obtained Pok mon.
"A flying type." Said Falkner.
"Hoothoot are great Pok mon." Falkner admired.
"However, it will soon face the wrath of an unforgiving, powerful, Wingull!" Declaired Falkner.
Falkner: "Wingull, get ready."
David: "Hoothoot, use Peck!"
Hoothoot began flying toards Wingull preparing for a Peck attack.
Falkner: "Wingull, use Watergun now!"
The watergun hit Hoothoot full on and knocked him down.
Hoothoot just managed to avoid hitting the floor with exstreme force.
David new Hoothoot still could battle, but desided to return him.
David: "Hoothoot return!"
Hoothoot returned in to his Pok ball, and David threw Mareep's Pok ball.
"Mareeeeep!" Mareep said excitedly.
David: "Mareep, use Thunder Wave!"
Mareep lonched the Thunder Wave, and Wingull was paralized.
Falkner: "Wingull!"
David: "Great job Mareep, now use Thunder Shock!"
Mareep charged the electricity and scored a direct hit on Wingull.
However damaging that electric attack was, Wingull was still ready to fight.
David: "It's useless to use Wingull any more."
David: "He'll just get hurt worse."
Falkner: "I suppose so, but thats rediculous to lose that quickly."
Falkner: "Return Wingull!"
Falkner reached for his second Pok ball.
Falkner: "Go Doduo!"
"I wonder what this Pok mon is capable of." Wondered David.
A few button presses of the Pok dex, and information was both spoken, and desplayed.
"Doduo, the Twin Bird Pok mon."
"It races through grassy plains with powerful strides, leaving footprints up to four inches deep."
The dex continued, "DODUO s two heads never sleep at the same time. Its two heads take turns sleeping,
so one head can always keep watchDODUO s two heads never sleep at the same time. Its two heads take turns sleeping,
so one head can always keep watch while the other one sleeps."
The dex finished with a "DODUO s two heads contain completely identical brains. A scientific study reported that on rare occasions, there will be examples of this POK MON possessing different sets of brains."
David: "Sounds like our scientests have learned a lot about this Pok mon."
While he had been looking up information, Doduo had been gathering it's strength.
Falkner: "Doduo, use Triattack!"
David: "What the!"
David: Mareep jump!"
The Tri attack hit Mareep painfully.
Falkner: "Great!"
Falkner: "Finish it with Drill peck!"
Doduo missed Mareep, because Mareep had acted of his own acord and dodged the attack.
David: "Mareep, use Thunderbolt!"
He was unsure if Mareep was capable of using that attack, but sighed with relief when it worked.
Mareep shot the Thunderbolt and hit Doduo.
Then suddenly.
A blinding light surrounded Mareep as he started to change.
In less then 10 seconds, a Flaaffy stood where Mareep was a moment ago.
"Awesome!" David yelled.
He skanned it with the pok dex.
"Flaaffy, the Wool PokWoolmon."
"Its fluffy fleece easily stores electricity. Its rubbery hide keeps it from being electrocuted."
The Pok dex stopped there, but David new that there was more information the dex could desplay.
He pressed some buttons and more information was desplayed.
"FLAAFFY s wool quality changes so that it can generate a high amount of static electricity with a small amount of wool. The bare and slick parts of its hide are shielded against electricity."
The dex desplayed 1 more page of data before shutting down.
"If its coat becomes fully charged with electricity, its tail lights up. It fires hair that zaps on impact."
"Amazing!" David said awestruck.
David: "Flaaffy, use Shock wave!"
Flaaffy hit the pore Flying type Pok mon, leaving it to fall unconcious.
David: "Yes!"
David: "One more to go!"
Falkner: "Trust me, we're just getting started."
Falkner: "Go, Swellow!"
As you can easily guess, David reached for his dex.
"Swellow, the Swallow Pok mon."
"SWELLOW flies high above our heads, making graceful arcs in the sky. This POK MON dives at a steep angle as soon as it spots its prey. The hapless prey is tightly grasped by SWELLOW s clawed feet, preventing escape."
Falkner: "Swellow, use Wing Attack!"
David: "Flaaffy, use Thunderbolt!"
Swellow hit Flaaffy with wing attack.
The sheep Pok mon was hit hard, and the Thunderbolt was released too late.
The Thunderbolt rikashayed of the wall of the gym, and hit Flaaffy.
To spite all of this, the bedraggled bloody sheep was still ready to fight.
Chunks of it's wool were laying on the ground, and Flaaffy had a deep cut on his side.
David: "As much as I appreciate you're persistence in trying to help me win, you're safty and health is way more importent."
David: "Return Flaaffy."
David reached for the only Pok ball he had yet to use in this gym.
Nidoran was waiting inside his Pok ball.
David had told him there would be a strong battle with a gym leader.
Nidoran had been confused, but David went on to telling him all about it, even though David wasn't sure if the Pok mon understood or not.
*Of corse I under stand Human speech.* Thought Nidoran.
*How else could I understand to use attacks when ordered.*
*I just wish the damned humans could under stand us.*
Suddenly, the ball began to move.
Nidoran new what that ment.
He new it very well.
It ment he was being called to battle.
Falkner: "Swellow, use Quickattack!"
David: "Nidoran jump!"
David thought it wasn't fare that Swellow was so quick.
He had just sent out Nidoran and already he was dodging attacks.
David: "Nidoran, Poison sting!"
Falkner: "Swellow, use Takedown for an early finish!"
Either Falkner was over confident that the Poison point ability or the Poison sting wouldn't poison Swellow, or he was just plain stupid.
David new the Pok mon league wouldn't allow a stupid trainer to run an official Pok mon gym, so he assumed that Falkner just didn't care.
However, Swellow was Poisoned.
David: "Doublekick now!"
"NIIIIIIIIDDDORAANN!"
"NIDODODODODODO!"
Falkner: "Swellow, use roost."
David: what kind of an dumb attack is..."
He cut off as he realized that it was healing Swellow."
David: "For the love of hell!"
David: "Did things just have to get more dificult?"
David: "Nidoran, use Hornattack!"
Falkner: "Just relax."
Falkner sounded very calm.
Nidoran pierced Swellow with his Horn.
Falkner: "Swellow, use counter!"
The blast of his own attack forced back at him was to much.
Nidoran was unable to battle.
David new Hoothoot was hurt, but he hoped the Hoothoot was up to the challenge of finishing off Swellow.
David: "Go Hoothoot!"
Hoothoot came out of his Pok ball to apose the swallow Pok mon at David's comand.
David: "Hoothoot, confusion!"
Falkner: "Swellow, indever!"
David: "What the."
David: "What kind of a move is that."
He realized that Hoothoot and swellow both seemed about the same as far as tiredness is concerned.
Falkner: "Swellow, quickly finish it with Fly!"
The Pok mon flew in to the air, and attacked.
Hoothoot feal over.
Fainted.
The poison in Swellow's body also seemed to take it's toll.
They both fainted at prosisely the same time.
The match was determined to be a tie.
"You faught well." Falkner said.
"I can safely give you this badge knowing you are a strong trainer." Falkner continued handing him the badge.
David was stunned.
"But I urr. I didn't win." David said awkwardly.
"No, you didn't." Falkner said.
"However, you did fight greatly, and you did manage to defeat me." Falkner said.
"You see, tying is a win for both sides." Falkner explained.
"It is in the Pok mon league rulebook that gymleaders reserve the right to give badges if the battle results end in a tie." Falkner finished.
"I don't know what to say." David said.
"Yes I urned the Zephyr Badge!
After David said goodbye to the gym leader, he and his 2 traveling conpanions headed for the Pok mon center.

so there it is!
First gym match!
