Ch 12:

Tristan starts in the Pokemon centre and is having his Pokemon healed. Tristan hears about the Gym Leader of the Vermillion City and decides to challenge him to a battle. Tristan bursts into the Gym and it is empty. Tristan yells out that he is there to challenge the Gym and the lights come on and the Gym Leader reveals himself. He is LT Surge and he is the Electric Gym Leader who hands out the ThunderBadge to victors, but Tristan wont be getting that badge. Tristan says he is wrong and Lt Surge says the battle will be 3-on-3. Tristan begins with Graveller and Surge sends out Voltorb. Voltorb hits with a quickfire Sonicboom and Graveller returns with a Rock Slide which hits Voltorb and knocks it out. Surge is impressed and they fight Pikachu against Phanpy with Pikachu hitting with Quick Attack but Phanpy withstanding a Thunderbolt. Phanpy then uses Rollout but Pikachu dodges and uses Quick Attack to hit Phanpy again. Phanpy uses Rollout on Pikachu again and knocks it out. Surge is not worried and sends out Raichu which knocks Phanpy out with a Mega Punch that connects before Phanpy can hit with Rollout. Tristan then sends out Graveller which uses Rock Slide which hits Raichu but it recovers and uses Thunderbolt on the arena floor which sends Graveller flying and then finishes it off with Mega Kick. Tristan then sends out Beedrill and it uses Twineedle but Raichu is too quick and uses Mega Kick to ground Beedrill and then knocks it out with Thunderbolt. Tristan is stunned and LT Surge says that Raichu is his best Pokemon and that Tristan should fight harder next time. Tristan thanks LT Surge and leaves, disappointed with the outcome.

Tristan goes back the next day and challenges Surge again but this time 1-on-1. It is Raichu against Graveller. Graveller uses Harden to block a Mega Punch and then uses Magnitude to shake Raichu and Tackle to throw it to the ground. Raichu uses Mega Kick but Graveller expertly blocks the hit showing its defensive training and then unleashes a Rock Slide to knock Raichu out. Lt Surge is shocked that Tristan beast him but says he used some good tactics and gives him the ThunderBadge.
