The First Gym
Saul and Andrea walked down the bridge across the lake that was near Rustboro City.
"So the first gym is here."
"Yeah, and I'm going to beat it. Who do you think is the gym leader?"
"His name is Tyler, he's about 18 years old. I used to have a little crush on him, but I haven't seen him for a while."
Saul didn't really like the extra information.
"When I went to the Pokemon Trainer's School here, he would give me tips on battling styles. Do you want to know about his and how you can beat him?"
"No thanks, I want it to be a surpise."
"Saul, which Pokemon do you think you will use?"
"Sence it's my first gym battle, I'm going to use Kip."
They arrived at the Pokemon Center.
"High Nurse Joy."
"Hello, do you want me to heal your Pokemon?"
Saul brought out Flitz and Yena, "I just need Flitz and Yena healed, Kip's okay, right Kip."
Kip turned it's head to Saul, "Kip...Mudkip."
"And could you heal my Ralts? Ralts, come out."
"Of course, I'll be back in a few minutes."
Saul and Andrea sat on the couch, Kip jumped in Saul's lap and curled up.
"What do you think was in the pack that the Devon Corp. guy was holding."
"Something good enough that someone wants to get it. I think the guys name was Robby. His name tag said age 16."
A few minutes later Nurse Joy came back with the Pokemon following her, "Okay, here you go."
Nurse Joy walked away.
Saul bent down to look at Yena and Flitz. Kip jumped down to look with him to.
"You two feeling good?"
"Yena."
"Taillow."
"What about you Ralts?"
"Ralts."
"Okay, Saul. Let's get to the gym so you can challenge Tyler."
After searching around the city they found the gym, "Time to get my first badge."
They walked in, "Hello challengers. Oh, Andrea, I havn't seen you for a while. Your dad told me you started your Pokemon Journey."
"Yeah, I'm traveling with my friend Saul. He moved here from Orre."
"That's pretty far off, so what are you two here for."
"I want to challenge you."
"Okay, let's go."
They walked into the back room. Saul and Tyler took they're places and Andrea sat at the edge.
"This will be a two on two battle, no subtitutions until your first Pokemon is unable to battle."
"Okay, got it."
"Let's go."
"Geodude, come out."
"Flitz, time for your first battle."
"Geodude, use Rock Throw."
"Flitz, dodge with Quick Attack then attack with Wing Attack."
"Geodude, use Harden to cussion the damage."
"Flitz, keep using Peck."
"Geodude, use Rock-Smash."
The rocks hit the baby and made it go rolling backwards, "LOOOW!"
"Flitz, try to get back up."
"Tail..."
Saul looked at Flitz, his wings started to glow, "I see what you want to do, Flitz use Steel Wing."
"Geodude, return. Nosepass, come out."
"Nosepass." It mumbled in a low, deep voise.
"Use Focus Punch."
"Taillow!"
The focus punch took out Flitz, "Good job Flitz, return."
"Go Kip."
Kip jumped from Saul's shoulder, "MUDKIP."
"Kip, Water Gun."
The water poored on Nosepass but it didn't budge.
"Keep using Focus Punch."
"Kip, use Bide as he hits you."
The punch kept hitting Kip but didn't do much damage do to Bide.
"Now use the power you stored for a bigger Water Gun."
The Water Gun was huge and hit Nosepass. It fainted.
"Good job Saul, here's the Stone Badge for proof of your victory, and a TM called Rock Tomb."
"Thanks."
"The next gym is in Dewford, good luck."
Saul and Andrea said in unison, "By."
They walked outside and saw Robby running out of a large building chasing the goon from earlier who was now holding the brief case, "HELP, STOP THAT THEIF!"
