Walking down the street, wondering what to do, Mystic suddenly stopped me. Turning back in confusion, I saw her looking at me with a worried face.
"Still concern about Electric? Don't worry, he came through the first time. I'm sure he'll fight whatever illness he has and be fine by tomorrow. Now, what should we do in this city?" I told her, lifting her up.
She shook her head, not knowing what to do.
"Hmm… Gotta be something to do. Huh… Yeah, I really don't know. I'm sure we'll find something as we venture around this place." I said.
Mystic shrugged and off we went. We walked around, checking shops, random scenery, and all that stuff. But as I was about to give up and go back, I heard a sudden voice behind me.
"Whoa, a Riolu!"
Turning around, I saw a boy, must've been about eleven.
"Um… Yeah…?" I looked confused.
"I've never been this close to one! They look so cool!" He continued.
Mystic shared my confusion, but it quickly ended when I heard a much older voice call out.
"Lance! Over here!"
Moments later, a much older person pushed his way through everyone.
"I told you not to run off, go back to mom..." He said.
"Aw, but this lady has a Riolu. I just wanted to see it..." The boy replied.
"Still, shouldn't be running off like that. Now hurry back." He said back.
The boy looked a bit sadden, but did so and ran off. After that, the person looked at me.
"Sorry about that." He shook his head before running off.
Looking at Mystic, we both had faces of confusion. But I guess it wasn't that big of a deal. So I just continued walking with Mystic down the street in search of something fun. Short story, we didn't find anything, and was in a cafe just escaping the heat. As we were sitting in our booth, just looking out towards the beach, I received a text message. Checking it, I saw it was Zach.
"Can you meet me at the medical center in the central?" He said.
"Um, sure. Be there soon." I texted back.
Looking at Mystic, I nodded.
"That was fast. Guess we're going to check up on Electric." I told her.
She happily replied and quickly got up and by my side. We then made our way to the medic center. It only took a minute since we were already in the area, and I saw Zach sitting outside without Electric. Walking up to him, he sighed.
"Well, Electric had caught some kind of parasite or something. We're getting everything sorted out right now. From what they told me, it was pretty bad and may take a few hours." He said.
"Oh. Hopefully he's better soon. Want to do something while you wait?" I asked.
"I guess. I hadn't really used Spike since I caught him. But I don't feel like battling." He replied.
"Okay then. Not sure what you want to do." I told him.
"Eh, I guess I'll stay here. How bout Ruka? Last time I saw her was near the park. She didn't look like she was busy." He said.
"Um, okay. I'll check on her, keep me updated I guess." I said, walking off.
"Okay… Ruka's at the park, which I think is near here." I told myself.
"Well, lets go Mystic. Lets see what Ruka's up to." I then told Mystic.
We walked through the big city, and found the park after asking for directions. Didn't knew this place could be this confusion, but whatever. And as Zach said, Ruka was chatting with someone. Walking up to her, she saw me and departed from the person.
"This city is a bit different then the city I know. People seem a bit more friendly… Anyways, are you going to do that gym so we can continue?" She asked.
"It's opened?" I asked back.
"Yeah, just opened a few hours ago. Thought you knew." She said back.
"Oh, well, yeah! I'm gonna challenge it when Zach and Electric is here. A water gym… I don't really have anything that is good against water, just fifty fifty Pokemon." I replied.
"I could lend you Silver if you want, she's good at battles." Ruka said, Silver walking up to her side.
"Are you sure?" I asked.
"Yeah, Silver knows how to battle other then healing." She said.
"Oh, um, okay. Sure, I could use the help." I told her.
She nodded and told Silver to fight along side me in the gym. Silver let out a protective voice and walked to my side. Ruka then described she could use some special moves that she taught her. It seems in emergencies she'll use a special move that blinds the enemy. She can also use a move that can drain the targets power and energy. I was surprised with how powerful Silver was. I never really saw her battle, so it was quite exciting to see her in battle in the gym. But after Ruka described and informed me of all Silver's abilities, she told me I was ready. Silver wrapped her ribbon around my arm and looked up. I looked back and nodded. She smiled, showing me she was ready.
"Alright… I'll text Zach." I said.
Texting Zach, I told him to meet us at the hotel soon. And quickly, he texted back saying Electric was surprisingly released very early, saying that he is okay and keep him on a special food. I replied back saying good, and quickly come to the hotel, as I was about to fight the gym. And of course, he replied nearly instantly saying he'll be there in a minute.
Looking at Ruka, I told her that we gotta go to the gym now. We then rushed back to the hotel, beating Zach just a minute apart. We all headed to the gym, and soon we were standing in front of the building. Looking at them, I nodded.
"Well, lets do this." I said.
"The water gym… Are you ready Mystic?" I looked down at her.
She replied happily and nodded quick.
We then proceeded to walk in the gym. And a big looking guy was behind the counter.
"Ah, another it seems. Sorry for the delay, Will had a family thing to attend. Now that your here, battle or spectate?" He asked.
"Battle." I said, just like the fire gym.
"Cool. Can't wait to see the battle, here is your ID number. Good luck, and get that badge!" He said, handing me my ID, along with the gym leaders info.
"Number six..." I said.
Sitting on the benches, I removed Mystic's hat and placed it in my bag.
"Alright, lets do our best." I told her.
"Don't forget Silver, she'll be helping you too." Ruka but in.
"I know, I know..." I replied.
"Oh! This is the water gym, you should take Electric." Zach said.
"Electric is sick and in pain. I don't think that's a good idea." I told him.
"Don't worry, Electric is always good to fight." Zach said back, as I saw Electric nodding his head.
"Ugh… I'll take him, but he probably won't fight. I don't want to injure him even more by having him fight." I said, picking up him.
"Now, what are we working with here." I said, opening the paper.
"Will the water type gym leader… Pokemon are… Marshtomp, Pelipper, and Prinplup. Form of attack? Direct and defensive." I read.
"Hmm, seems easy enough… Well, guess we're ready." I told Mystic.
Soon after, I heard my number over the speakers. Getting up, I walked to the doors that opened. Looking back, I nodded and entered the arena. Mystic, Stealth, Flanite, Sav Razor, Electric and Silver. Time to do this...
