Fighting Tightly
"Okay, kids! We're at Dewford. Our two day voyage has finally landed us at our destination."
They all walked out of they're cabins, "Hey, I just remembered that this is where the second gym is. Today I get my Knuckle Badge."
They walked on to the beach when Andrea turned around, "Aren't you coming Capt. Briney."
"No thank you, I'll stay here and look after the boat."
"Okay, see you in a few hours."
They walked through town asking people where they can find Steven.
Andrea ran up to Saul and Robby, "I found out where Steven is, he's in Granite Cave let's go."
They walked around, following the directions on the Pokenav. They found the cave just outside of town.
There was a man standing on the outside of the cave enterance, "Excuse me you three, do you plan on going into Granite Cave?"
"Yes, we have to deliver a letter to Steven."
"He's pretty well known in Dewford. Before you go in to find him though, you'll need to get this?"
He held out a disc, "What is it?"
"It's called an HM and some are called TM, or Hidden Machine and Technical Machines. The difference is that HM's can be used more than once, Tm's can only be used once. It teaches a Pokemon a move it can't always learn on it's own. This HM, specificaly teaches a Pokemon the move Flash."
Saul was confused, "Oh, I remember, Tyler gave me one that I taught to Kip. But what does Flash have to do with finding Steven?"
"This cave is very dark, to find your way around you'll need to teach this to a Pokemon and use it in the cave. You can have mine, I don't need it anymore."
"Thanks."
"But you might want to get a Knuckle Badge from Jonah first."
"Why?"
"Some HM's don't really work unless you have a certain Badge. That was made to keep trainer's going for the Gyms."
"Okay, so where is the Gym?"
"It's right around the corner of the tree's."
"Thanks."
They walked over to the gym and entered, "Hello, challengers! Who wants to battle first?!"
Saul stepped in front of Robby and Andrea, "I'm the only one looking for Gym leaders."
"Okay, so what are your names."
"I'm Andrea."
"I'm Robby."
"I'm Saul and this is Kip."
"Mudkip..."
"I am Jonah. Okay, now let's start."
Saul and Jonuh lined up in the room facing eachother from about ten feet away.
Robby and Andrea stood at the side.
"I haven't seen Saul battle at his best, is he good?"
"Watch and you'll find the answer yourself."
"This will be a double-battle. Come on out Machoke and Hariyama."
Kip jumped off of Saul's shoulder and faced the rival Pokemon, "Kip, you've worked hard lately, you sit this battle out."
Kip didn't move from his spot, "Kip..."
"You really wan't to battle, don't you Kip."
"KIP!"
"Okay, Mightyena, let's go."
"MIGHT!"
Andrea sighed, "Saul, I think you forgot that Fighting- Type is good against Dark- Type."
Saul suddenly lost his confidence, "Oh, yeah, I didn't know that."
"Machoke, Hariyama, both of you charge then use Focus Punch."
"Uh, Kip, use...both of you use Take Down."
"KIIIIP!"
"MIGHTYENA!"
Jonuh retorted, "You two dodge and use Hyper Beam behind them."
The Pokemon dodged and used two huge Hyper Beams on Yena's and Kip's backs. They fell and struggled to get back up.
"kip..."
"yen...a"
They finaly pulled themselves back up, "Yena and Kip, both of you Dig."
"Use Arm Thrust on the ground to cause a cave-in."
Rocks fell and filled up the whole.
"Kip, use Rock Tomb to get the rocks out."
Andrea encouraged Saul, "Saul, come on, your letting your Pokemon get hurt."
He looked at her, "Okay."
"Now, Kip use Whirlpool."
A twister of water twelve feet tall came around Kip.
"Yena, now use Rock Smash and throw the rocks in the Whirlpool."
The rocks swirled around the Whirlpool.
"Kip, use Mud- Slap into the Whirlpool."
It filled in the Whirlpool making the water muddy.
"Now, push it toward the Machoke and Hariyama."
The rocks flew out of the twister toward the other Pokemon.
"Try to catch them."
They caught some of the rocks but there were to many. They fell.
"Keep them down with Mud- Slap."
They stayed down and didn't get up, "Return, good job Saul. Here is the Knucle Badge and the TM Bulk- Up."
"Cool, thanks."
"The next Gym is against Wattson in Mauville City."
They walked out and saw the cave again, "Let's deliver the letter."
Author's note: I know this chapter was a little wierd, but I coudn't figure out what I did different. The next chapter's will not be like this though.
