Last chapter Jake and Sarah had finally made it to Petalburg City while on their way too Rustboro City so they could have their Gym Battle with the Gym Leader, but both decided to take a look at the Petalburg Gym where they met a boy named Max who got into a fight with Sarah, but then their argument was then cut short by a man named Norman who turned out to be the Petalburg Gym leader who quickly challenged Sarah to an unofficial Pokémon Gym Battle which Sarah quickly accepted much to Jake's dismay knowing the outcome of what the battle is.
''Treecko come on out.'', Jake said as the Poke Ball in its hand opened up, then Treecko popped out of it much to Max's joy.
''Treecko.'', Treecko said with a cool look as it then put a twig in its mouth.
''So you picked Treecko as you're beginners Pokémon!'', Max exclaimed in surprise as he looked down at it while Sarah and Norman walked to opposite sides of the battle field.
''Treecko?'', Treecko said in confusion as it looked around not knowing what this place is at all while Max was looking down at it.
''Treecko this is the inside of the Petalburg Gym where Sarah is going to have an unofficial Gym Battle.'', Jake explained as he started to look at his laptop's screen again.
''Picking Treecko as a beginners Pokémon was a good choice!'', Max said with a smile as it was staring at it.
''Treecko, Treecko.'', Treecko said as it was staring at Max confusion because he didn't who Max was at all.
''Um thanks. Anyway Treecko I brought you out here so you could watch Sarah's match.'', Jake explained to Treecko as he started to to walk towards the bench along with Max
''Treecko, Treecko'', Treecko said as it followed Jake and Max to the bench
''Ok let's go!'', Sarah exclaimed while she was standing on the right side of the battlefield while she had her Poke Ball in her hand.
''Ok let's start.'', Norman replied with a smile as he got his Poke Ball out while standing on the other side of the field with a Poke Ball in his hand as well while Jake, his Treecko and Max were all sitting on the bench next to the battlefield.
''Well this battle will be over quickly.'', Max said with a smile as he was sitting next to Treecko while he was fixing his glasses much to Sarah's anger.
''Hey I heard that!'', Sarah yelled back in anger while Jake was on his laptop about to record the unofficial Gym Battle.
''Actually I agree with Max. This battle is going to be over quickly.'', Jake exclaimed while he was staring down at his laptop trying to get it to scan the battlefield and Pokémon both trainers are going to use.
''Treecko!'', Treecko said with a serious look while sitting in between Jake and Max as it nodded his head apparently agreeing with both Max and Jake.
''Jake, Treecko whose side are you two on?'', Sarah asked loudly with anger obviously upset about what they said.
''Sorry for me say this! But you're not going to win your Torchic isn't strong enough and even if you do win you're still not going to get a Gym Badge.'', Jake yelled out while still staring at his laptop screen, which Sarah couldn't reply to.
''Um. Let's just start already. Torchic come on out.'', Sarah exclaimed as her Poke Ball opened up and then Torchic appeared from it.
''Tor, Tor!'', Torchic exclaimed happily as it started to look around the Petalburg Gym while not knowing what this place was at all.
''Torchic stay focused.'', Sarah demanded seriously as Torchic then looked at Norman and ready itself for battle.
''Only a Torchic huh?'', Max said disappointedly but didn't say that so loud that Torchic could hear because he didn't want to get attacked by it.
''A Torchic! That's the same Pokémon my daughter May got for her first Pokémon.'', Norman exclaimed in Joy as he then was going to show what Pokémon he was going to use.
''Now it's my turn Slakoth come on out.'', Norman exclaimed as the Poke Ball in his hand opened up and a brown, sloth-like mammalian Pokémon with a shaggy coarse fur and brown stripes on its back, scruff of fur on the top of its head and a large, pig-like pink nose and a sleepy expression on its face appeared from the ball.
''Slakoth, Slakoth.'', Slakoth said with his eyes half-opened as it moved its arms in a lazy way as Sarah got a red device out, but decided to put it away.
''Now time for a scan.'', Jake's said with a serious look as the small red sphere on the back of his laptop let out a red light that scanned the entire battlefield
''Huh?'', Max and Norman exclaimed in confusion as Jake's laptop started to talk.
''Scan complete chance of Torchic winning…20 percent. '', A robotic voice said as it then showed Jake all of Slakoth's moves.
''Um. Ok give me your best shot.'', Norman exclaimed with a small grin as Sarah was just about to do just that.
''Don't worry I will. Torchic use Peck.'', Sarah demanded as Torchic then started to run towards Slakoth who was just standing there.
''Torchic.'', Torchic exclaimed as it then jumped towards Slakoth and was about to make contact with it, but Slakoth still was moving.
''Slakoth.'', Slakoth said as it then side stepped It by turning its body completely avoiding Torchic's Peck attack.
''Huh?'', Sarah said in shock as she saw Slakoth dodge Torchic's attacks so easily.
''Tor-'', Torchic said confused as it then feel on its head causing Treecko to laugh.
''Treecko, Treecko.'', Treecko said with a smile as it started to laugh at Torchic, but Torchic tried to ignore Treecko's laughing.
''Good old Slakoth.'', Max said with a smile as Jake decided to look at them battle as he put his laptop on the side.
''Torchic use Ember.'', Sarah demanded as the inside of Torchic's mouth started to glow red-orange then shot the red-orange oval-shaped flames from its mouth
''Torchic.'', Torchic yelled out as its eyes were now closed as it continued to shoot out its Ember attack, but Slakoth didn't move.
''Slakoth dodge it's.'', Norman demanded with his arm out as Slakoth then obeyed its master.
''Slakoth'', Slaoth said calmly avoided the Ember attack by moving its body backwards causing the Ember Attack to go above it.
''Huh but how?'', Sarah asked shocked as Slakoth then got back up and was now ready to fight.
''Sarah watch out! Slakoth's is about to attack now.'', Jake exclaimed knowing that Slakoth's ability has worn out by now.
''To later Slakoth use Blizzard now.'', Norman demanded as Slakoth then shot an icy wind from its mouth with small snowballs at it.
''Huh? Torchic use Ember to counter.'', Sarah demanded in shock as Torchic then shot its Ember attack at Slakoths Blizzard attack.
''Bad move!'', Jake said to himself while he had his arms crossed and his eyes closed as The Ember attack clashed with the Blizzard attack for a short while until the Blizzard attack cut through it like it was nothing
''Tor-Tor!'', Torchic exclaimed in pain shock as its Ember attack was being engulfed by the Blizzard much to Sarah's shock.
''Q-Quick dodge it Torchic.'', Sarah stuttered to say as Torchic tried to move out-of-the-way, but it was too late as the Blizzard Attack hit Torchic.
''Torchic.'', Torchic exclaimed in terror as the Blizzard was hitting its entire body causing it pain much to Sarah's shock.
''Torchic.'', Sarah said in shock as the coldness of the Blizzard attack was affecting most of the battlefield causing Jake, Treecko and Max to feel the cooldness.
''Th-this is just like last time when Slakoth battled Pikachu.'', Max said in dismay as he was holding both of his arms with hands.
''It's not so A Ice-Type move shouldn't have much effect on a fire type like Torchic but since Torchic is so low leveled it should be doing major damage to it!'', Jake said calmly as he then looked who had its hands on both of its arms obviously be affected by the coldness more than Max.
''Oh I forgot since you're a grass type the coldness really doesn't go well for you right?'', Jake said with a frown as his Treecko then replied.
''Tr-Tr-Treecko.'', Treecko stuttered say as it shook its head agreeing with him.
''Torchic try and get out of it!'', Sarah demanded frantically but Torchic was then stuck in the Blizzard attack.
''Tor-Torchic.'', Torchic said with pain while being unable to move its body or get away from the Blizzard attacks assault.
''Now let's end this! Slakoth use Shadow Ball'', Norman demanded as Slakoth stopped using its Blizzard Attack.
''Slakoth.'', Slakoth exclaimed as it then created a dark-purple ball in its hands then preparing to throw it.
''Slakoth.'', Slakoth said as it then shot the Shadow Ball at Torchic who was still a little dazed from the Blizzard.
''Torchic no.'', Sarah yelled out as Torchic then noticed the Shadow Ball coming right at it.
''TORCHIC!'', Torchic yelled out as the Shadow Ball then hit it causing a small explosion to happen.
