Chapter 9: Jason vs Roark

Jason and Thomas stand in front of the doors to the Oreburgh Gym and Jason opens them with great confidence and they both walk in.

?: "elcome to the Oreburgh Gym, I am the Referee here, I am here to make sure battles here are fair. What's your name and hometown challenger?".

"I am Jason from Twinleaf town". proclaimed Jason.

"OK well proceed to the leader young challenger but your companion must stay here and watch" said the Referee

Jason looked at old man Thomas with a questioning look

"I'll be fine and you'll do fine without me now go get your badge" said Thomas

"Of course I will get my badge" Jason said confidently

In his confidenece Jason marches off through a path that leads directly toward Roark as the young gym leader stands proudly.

"Sorry if this challenge was easier than usual"said Roark

"Huh" said Jason

"You see usually there are gym trainers here that try to block you progress to me but they couldn't make today and I didnt want to cancel you challenge" stated Roark

"It's ok, it's gonna be the same result anyway with me winning that badge" said Jason with a confident grin

"We will see about that, Ref state the rules" said Roark

"This battle will be a 3 on 3 battle, the battle is only over when one side has no usable pokemon and only the challenger is allowed to switch his pokemon, do you both agree to these terms." stated the Ref

"Sure" said both Jason and Roark

"Then let the battle begin!", said the Ref

"Let's start this up Geodude" said Roark as he threw a pokeball in the air and out came his Geodude."I'm curious to see what pokemon you are going to use"

" Well come out Roxs" said Jason as he threw up his pokeball and a Onix came out"

"Oh I heard somebody caught the Onix known as the Queen of the Oreburgh Mines, well lets see what you can do with her." said Roark

"Ok Roxs use Tackle on Geodude and hit em hard" said Jason and Roxs charged tooward Geodude and slammed into it but Geodude seemed unscathed.

"Please i thought if you were using a Rock type you would have common sense and realize the defense they have, what is a mere Tackle attack going to do, now Geodude Stealth Rock" exclaim Roark as Geodude's body becomes surrounded in several silver glitters that grow larger and forms into pointed gray rocks that sit in the ground.

"What are you doing decorating the field what kind of attack is that." said Jason

"Oh you will see" said Roark

"No I won't cause i'm gonna end this Tackle again Roxs" said Jason and Roxs charges toward Geodude again but Roark starts to smile

"Hehe Rock Smash!" said Roark calmly and Geodude's left hand glow white and it punches Roxs sending it flying leaving Jason surprised.

"Whoa what happened?" said Jason nervously

"Jason! Rock Smash is a fighting type move which mean it supereffective against rock types like Roxs" shouted Thomas

"Me and my pokemon work in the mines do you think we don't have a technique to handle rocks and rock types." stated Roark cockily

"Well you know what we have our way of dealing with rock types too right Roxs right" said Jason as Roxs looks on and smiles at Jason

*Flashback*

"Old man i'm tired of battling wild pokemon can you please teach me the technique you mentioned earlier when we got here" Jason complained

"Fine I think you and that Onix trained enough, but by the way why haven't you named her yet all you other ones have a name" said Thomas

"Yeah was thinking of possible names for her but i don't know which one to pick" said Jason

"How about you tell her the name and let her pick" said Thomas

"Ok then how about Stoney" asked Jason but she shook her had no, "Bouldera" but she shook her head no "What about Roxci" she looked interested but shook her head no "well what about "Roxs" and she shook her head yes "Great so now your name is Roxs"

"Ok now that we go that done, Come out Hippowdon!" said Thomas as he threw a pokeball in the air and a Hippowdon came out.

"Wow i never seen one before where did you get it." asked Jason

"Hippowdon is one of my pokemon for my trainer day but now lent all my pokemon to my wife except Scizor but i call on them when I need them." said Thomas

"Oh why do you need it am I gonna battle it." asked Jason

"No it's quite the contrary, I have the skill to teach pokemon moves they don't learn naturally but are compatable with i'm a move tutor and I am gonna teach Roxs amove to use against it's fellow rock types the move is...

*Flashback over*

"Now Roxs use Mud Slap" said Jason as Roxs dug her tail into the ground and pulled it up, throwing a wave mud at Geaodude hitting it and lowering it's accuracy

"Oh yeah Geodude Rock Smash" said Roark and Geodude charges at Roxs and miss its fist swing at Roxs .

"Now Tackle Roxs and keep going till you hit the wall" said Jason and Roxs slams into Geodude till she rams it into a wall knocking Geodude out

"Wow nice move but go Onix!" Roark says as he sends out a Onix that is slightly bigger then Roxs

*thinking to himself Jason says "I gotta end this fast" end* "Ok Roxs quick Mud Slap" said Jason as Roxs dug it's tail into the ground but before it can do anymore...

"I'm not gonna let you do that Onix Rock Smash" said Roark as Onix's tail glows white and smashes into Roxs Koing her.

"Return Roxs you did great not go Terra" said Jason as he called back Roxs into her ball and sent out Terra but suddenly the rocks from Stealth Rock raise into the air, glow white, and then smash into Terra, "What was that"

"It's Steatlh Rock it activates everytime my opponent sends out a pokemon, now screech" said Roark and Onix opens its mouth and roars a high-pitched screech releases a beam of invisible shockwaves that high Terra pushing it back and lowering it's defense. "Now that takes care of your Turtwigs defensive ability now Onix Rock Smash" and Onix's tail glows white and smashes into Terra hitting him and flinging him into a wall.

"Dang Terra's badly damaged I gotta do something" said Jason but then he notices something odd about Terra. "HUH? Why is Terra glowing with a green aura."

"Jason it's Terra's ability Overgrow kicking in it powers up grass moves nows your chance" said Thomas

"OK Terra now use Razor Leaf!" exclaimed Jason and Terra still glowing then swings its head and razor-sharp leaves shoot out from the leaves on its head with energy waves from Overgrow shooting toward Onix hitting it and Koing it.

"Wow seems like you pulled off a miracle move return Onix and here my next pokemon my greatest partner" said Roark as he threw up a pokeball and a Cranidos came out.

"Return Terra and come out Lux" said Jason as he called back the tired Turtwig and brought out Lux the Shinx.

"How interesting an electric type, since my time as gym leader nobody has ever used a electric type against me but how well can it take a hit" said Roark as Stealth Rock began to take effect and smash into Lux

"Hang in there Lux use Spark" said Jason as Lux's body becomes surrounded in blue electricity and it charges toward Cranidos

"Cranidos Headbutt" ordered Roark and as Lux charges toward Cranidos, Cranidos runs toward Lux and they both collide and cause a small explosion pushing both pokemon back. "It seems like your Shinx took more damage than my Craindos well i'm up for a round too...huh?

"Your up for round two well we've been preparing for it with Lux's Charge attack" said Jason as Lux is surrounded be sparks of electricity and absorbs them into your body, "Now Spark" and Lux runs toward Cranidos surrounded in blue electricity while Cranidos uses headbutt and they clash again causing a explosion and when the smoke clears Lux is Koed. "You did great buddy now rest, come back out Terra" and Terra comes out its ball still tired as Stealth Rock takes effect amd hits Terra.

"Well this was a good battle but it seems your Turtwig is on it last legs, my Cranidos can definitly dodge a Razor Leaf from a pokemon this tired and weakened but I dont think you can dodge." said Roark

"Well we will just have to see about that, Terra Razor Leaf we are gonna win this now!" said Jason with a confident grin as Terra swings its head and razor-sharp leaves shoot out from the leaves on its head and flys toward Crandos.

"Ok dodge now Cranidos and follow with headbutt" said Roark but Cranidos didnt move and Roark noticed thats Cranidos is paralyzed. "When did that happen?"

"It happen the second time Headbutt and Spark clashed" said Jason as the Razor Leaf hits Cranidos Koing it. "Yes we won, we did it Terra" said Jason as he picked up Terra joyfully when Terra began to glow white and started to change evolving into Grotle and as Terra is too heavy now they both fall

"Congratulations you actually beat me here is the Coal badge." said Roark

"Thanks" Jason said and smiled at Thomas who walked over to congratulate him.

"Man i guess i need to do some serious training I have been losing alot lately first it was that guy named Ken then it was that weird girl with the Roselia and Chimchar and now you" stated Roark.

"Weird Girl?" said Jason

"Yeah it was this girl who challenged me like a hour before you, she kept talking about how she needed to prove herself and when she beat me she told me she didnt want her badge, I had to convince her to take it." said Roark

"Hmmm I wonder who she is? pondered Jason

*Back at Jubelife City*

The sillhouette of a girl is shown but her face is unidentifiable but she has a Chimchar riding on her shoulder.
