Well it's finally time for Barry to face another gym. Will he be able to succeed or is he getting into more then he can handle. Well lets root for him and hope he does okay. I wanted to let you guys know that this chapter in particular I had a lot of fun writing so I hope you like it. So with all that said, lets begin the new chapter.
Chapter 26 The Shocking Battle With Lt. Surge
(Barry's POV)
"All right, we're finally here!" I said full of excitement as we arrived in Vermillion City.
"Calm down please. You're making a fool of yourself and also embarrassing us." Paul said.
"I can't help it you guys. I'm just so hyped up to earn my third badge."
"True but Dawns about to try to earn her third ribbon but she's remaining calm about it. If you get so excited then you'll lose focus and just cause your own defeat." Paul told me.
"Look I'll win, Trust me."
"Do you even know anything about this gym leaver? Because the past two times, you forgot to study. So I bet you didn't even look up any information about this guy."
"Ha shows what you know Paul. Prepare to be surprised. I looked up stuff about him. His name is Lt. Surge. He uses electric type Pokémon. Out of all of his Pokémon, his best is his Raichu. It's been known to defeat many of its opponents Pokémon. It also used to be an extremely slow Pokémon because Surge evolved it quickly but Surge learned about that weakness and was able to turn his Raichu into an extremely fast and powerful Pokémon." I said.
"What you actually studied for once!" Paul and Dawn said at the same time. They both sounded extremely shocked and they looked like they couldn't believe what I just said.
"What Paul and I mean is that were very impressed that you thought things out instead of just rushing into things. Right Paul" Dawn said.
"I was going to say that I'm shocked that you're not being your usual stupid self but I suppose they mean the same thing." Paul said
"You couldn't resist being a jerk could you?" Dawn said annoyed.
"I could've but I thought it would be more to annoy you." Paul replied.
"Fine whatever, anyway we should head to the Pokémon center to prepare for the battle." Dawn said.
Well I was scared for a minute that those two would get into a big fight but they didn't. Got to say they have been getting along pretty well so far. Well compared to how they used to be. I mean they still annoy each other. I thought to myself as I laughed a bit.
"What are you laughing at Barry?" Paul asked me.
"It's a secret." I said.
"Why must you always act like a child? Anyway, let's head to the Pokémon center to prepare." Paul said as he repeated what Dawn said earlier.
"No need to you guys. I'm already perfectly prepared for this battle and I can't wait so let's go straight to the gym and battle the leader." I said.
"Aw. But I wanted to rest a bit beforehand. After all it would be nice to relax or maybe we could get something to eat first." Dawn said hopefully.
"No way" I said the very instant Dawn finished talking.
"Give it up Dawn. You know how he is when it comes to battles. We'll just eat as soon as Barry finishes." Paul said.
"Fine I guess so. There is no point in arguing with him after all." Dawn said.
"Right, so let's all head to the gym I just hope the battle isn't too quick." Paul said.
"Oh it will be trust me." I said.
"With that much over confidence I'm sure it will be."
"Isn't overconfidence usually a bad thing? How will it help me win any faster?" I asked.
"Barry. Just stop." Dawn said as I stared at her confused. I also started hearing Paul laugh a bit which tended to be an extremely rare thing.
"What's so funny?" I asked.
"Nothing at all" Paul said simply.
I decided to not ask any more questions and decided to just head to the gym. It took us a few minutes to find the gym but we found it and then entered it. The gym was a pretty plain area that had your classic style battle field.
"Barry isn't that Mat." Paul said to me.
And he was right. Inside the room we saw Mat standing on one side of the field looking rather disappointed.
"It is. Hey Mat what's up!" I yelled as Mat turned to face me.
"Huh no way, Paul, Dawn, and Barry. What's up you guys. Good to see you guys." Mat said happily. "Say you didn't happen to see that did you?" He asked as he looked a bit embarrassed.
"Saw what. Did you just have a gym battle?" I asked.
"Sound like you lost." Paul said simply.
"Sadly yea, this gym leader sure is strong. I thought things were going well but his final Pokémon just destroyed us."
"The gym leader huh and who would that be?" I asked.
Suddenly a man walked up to us. "Are you children here for a gym battle." The man asked us.
"I am." I told the man.
"IS that so interesting? Boss looks like we found you some new victims." The man said in a cocky manner.
"Is that any way to treat a challenger?" Dawn said annoyed.
"We only give respect to the trainers that prove they deserve it. Unlike this little baby here" The man said as he looked at Mat.
"Jerk" Mat said silently.
"Well aren't they pleasant." Paul said sarcastically.
"Couldn't agree more, look wares the gym leader of this place."
"Right here" A man said as he walked up to us. The man was huge and boy do I mean huge. He towered above all of us and he was jacked like crazy."
"Is this guy Lt. Surge?" I asked
"Bit bigger then you thought right Barry." Dawn whispered to me.
"You could say that." I said.
"I'm the gym leader. Welcome to the gym so which of you babies are going to be my next victims." Lt. Surge told us.
"Babies" Dawn said a bit shocked. Honestly if she didn't ask about it I would've.
"You see everyone's who loses to me is a baby." Surge said as he laughed a bit.
"Great logic, except for the fact that you haven't defeated any of us yet." Paul said.
"Quite the attitude this little baby has. Well are you going to be the one I get to beat?"
"If only I could be so lucky. Barry makes sure to win okay. Don't mess up." Paul said to me.
"Uh thanks a bunch Paul. I'll try my best." I said. But I could get why Paul would be annoyed. After all, this guy was a real jerk and I want to beat him and make him respect me.
"Well that was nice of you Paul." Dawn said to him.
"Don't you need to go spend ten hour changing into that stupid outfit you wear during all of our battles."
"Huh. Oh yea right. I'll be right back. I just need to quickly head to somewhere to change is there a changing room in here?" Dawn said.
"Why would we have something as stupid as that? Look its pathetic if baby here needs his own little cheering squad." Surge said
"Never mind, anyway you guys better not start without me. I'm going to a Pokémon center to change since these jerks don't have a place to change." Dawn said annoyed as she left.
"So are you babies ready to battle." Surge asked us.
"Give Barry time to prepare first." Mat said before I had a chance to speak.
"Yea we'll be outside the gym. We'll enter it once we're ready." Paul spoke up.
"Take all the time you babies need. The end result will be the same." Surge said confidently.
"Hey wait a minute, I'm ready right now." I said annoyed.
"No you're not!" Mat and Paul said at the same time as the practically started to drag me out of the gym.
"Are you stupid or something" Paul said to me after we left the gym.
"About what" I asked.
"For tartars Mat just lost to this guy yet your still going to run into everything without planning a little better. Look it's great that you looked into this battle but you shouldn't be so over confident. If this guy beat Mat then he must be strong." Paul told me.
"Maybe but still, what plan do you have."
"Take advice from Mat. So care to help." Paul said to Mat.
"Yea no problem, for starters his only dangerous Pokémon is his Raichu. I faced him in three on three and I took out his first two Pokémon rather easily but the Raichu just destroyed me. I even tried using my Marshtomp thinking if I used a ground type then I'd be fine but it still won. I hate to say it but that Pokémon's on a whole other level. Still I'll beat him next time for sure." Mat said confidently.
"Wonderful but right now we need to worry about Barry's battle not your next rematch." Paul said.
"Oh yea right sorry about that, I just got a little off topic." Mat said a bit embarrassed.
"It good, so what Pokémon should I use." I asked Mat.
"Ground type duh, but even with them nothings certain" Mat said.
"Well then things aren't looking good for you Barry. Most of your Pokémon are weak against electric type. It sucks too because a lot of my Pokémon could counter this guy's team. Like my newly caught Graviler, or my Electivire, or Torterra. But as for you, it looks bad. I suppose grass types are good."
"Right don't they have a type advantage against electric type Pokémon?" Mat said.
"Oh yea good point Mat this could work and I could win since I have Bulbasaur." I said.
"Electric type Pokémon's attacks are not very effective against grass types. However Grass type attacks are still only able to deal normal damage. This is common sense. Ow on earth don't you two know that." Paul said annoyed.
"So we forgot. Big deal Mat and I said together.
"It kind of is a big deal. Anyway let's get back to planning for your battle. Heracross could work or maybe you're Hitmonlee."
"True but you know Paul, I intended on using Himonlee and Bulbasaur from the beginning." I said.
"Good then. Still if I was you then I defiantly wouldn't use Empoleon, Skarmory, Xatu, or Staraptor.
"Good point."
"But Rosarade should work fine so I suppose you could use that." Paul said.
"I would but there's just one problem. I kind of left Heracross and Rosarade at Oak's, so I guess I have to use either a flying type or a Water type." I said embarrassed.
"Seriously, I thought you said you were prepared for this!" Paul said annoyed.
"I am. I just made one little mistake and forgot."
"Then you weren't prepared."
"It's not his fault. I forgot all the time too." Mat said.
"Are really this stupid because I think a person has to try to be this idiotic. I swear you two just make each other stupider." Paul said annoyed.
"Cut it out Paul, look I'll be fine. Believe me."
"I'm sure he'll do great. Barry's not a bad trainer so trust him. Still though you got to remember to keep calm and don't lose focus during your battle with Surge. Also be sure to think carefully okay." Mat said.
"You are the worst person to give that kind of advice."
"Shut up. Anyway, so it looks like Barry will be using Bulbasaur, Hitmonlee, and someone else." Mat said.
"Yea, I'll think of a good third Pokémon. Maybe I'll just use Xatu after all it worked before. Also didn't Xatu already defeat Sabrina so I'm sure things will be fine?" I said
"I doubt that but still do whatever you have to." Paul said.
"Hey guys I'm back." Dawn said as she arrived wearing her cheerleading outfit with her Pokémon out.
"Well finally joined us. Well I suppose we might as well get this whole thing over with." Paul said
"All right now that everyone's here, let's all get going inside. Man I can't wait to win." I said.
We all entered the gym once again.
"Okay I'm ready to battle." I said.
"Whatever you say baby, now then let's get this over with. Oh and I see Baby brought along his little baby cheer squad either way let's get this battle started. I'll even allow you to pick how many Pokémon we each use." Surge told me.
"I'm good for three on three." I said.
"What are you doing you idiot. Make it two on two." Paul said annoyed.
"Trust me I'll be fine. Now let's go three on three good for you."
"Works fine now let's begin. Go Magneton." Surge said as he sent out his first Pokémon.
"Not bad. In that case, go Hitmonlee!" I said.
"Magneton use Thunderbolt!"
"Dodge it Hitmonlee and use Jump Kick!" I said.
Magneton shot out its electrical blast but Hitmonlee jumped in the air to dodge it and then went flying into Magneton with great speed. The kick landed quickly and dealt major damage."
"All Right" I said.
"Magneton use Tri Attack!"
Magneton created three different beams. One of Fire, one of Water and one of Ice. It then fired all three beams at Hitmonlee and hit Hitmonlee dead center.
"Darn it. Hitmonlee use Mega Kick." I said as Hitmonlee kicked Magneton dead center."
"Now use Zap Cannon!"
"Let the attack get close to you and knock it back with Mega kick." I said.
Magneton fired a round electric ball at Hitmonlee but Hitmonlee took its leg and kicked right into the electric ball knocking it right back at Magneton. Hitmonlee then ran up to Magneton and kicked it repeatedly.
"Magneton lets end this quickly. Use Lock on!" Surge said as his Magneton locked onto my Hitmonlee. "Good now use Zap Cannon once more! You won't be able to dodge this one or knock back this one back. It'll just keep chasing you." Surge said as Magneton started to charge up for its Zap Cannon attack.
"Only one way to stop it, Hitmonlee use HI Jump Kick on Magneton before Magneton gets a chance to attack." I said.
Hitmonlee jumped hi in the air and went flying toward Magneton. Hitmonlee landed its kick on Magneton with great speed before Magneton even had a chance to fire its Zap Cannon. The Magneton then fell backwards and was finished.
"Ugh. Magneton return, not to bad baby but things is just getting started. Time for me to use my second Pokémon, Let's go Electrode." Surge said as he sent out his second Pokémon.
"So it's an Electrode huh. In this case, Hitmonlee return." I said as I called back my Hitmonlee. "All right time for my second Pokémon. Go Bulbasaur." I said as I sent out my Bulbasaur.
"Sonic Boom Electrode!"
"Counter with Razor Leaf!" I said
The Electrode fired the Sonic wave but Bulbasaur stopped it by firing it's leafs to stop the attack.
"Now use Vine Whip!" I said as Bulbasaur started whipping the Electrode.
"Now us Electro Ball!" Surge said.
Electrode threw a huge ball of electricity and it hit Bulbasaur dead on.
"Bulbasaur use Razor Leaf!" I said as threw some leafs and hit Electrode.
"Not too bad. Electrode use Rollout!"
Electrode started to roll toward Bulbasaur but Bulbasaur was able to jump over Electrode. However Electrode kept on rolling after Bulbasaur and it eventually hit Bulbasaur.
"Darn it, Bulbasaur tries firing Razor Leaf to slow it down." I said as Bulbasaur fired its Razor Leaf at Electrode. The attack looked like it damaged and it was slowing down a bit but the Rollout attack was still rolling and heading straight toward Bulbasaur. Electrode then slammed into Bulbasaur and sent Bulbasaur flying against the wall. Bulbasaur then stood back up but Electrode was com in its way and fast.
Darn it, Electrode is spinning to fast. At this rate I have no idea how we're even going to stop it from spinning. If I'm not carful then we will be in trouble and get thrown against the wall once again. Wait a minute. Yea that might work. I thought to myself as I had a grin on.
"Electrode slam into that Bulbasaur once again and let's end this!"
"Bulbasaur wait for Electrode to get close and then use Vine Whip to grab Electrode and throw it against the wall!" I said.
Bulbasaur stood in one place and waited for Electrode to get close and once it did, Bulbasaur tool its vines and grabbed Electrode with them. Bulbasaur then used all of its strength to throw the Electrode across the gym and into the wall. The Electrode then fell to the ground and got back up. However it may have been able to get up but at least I had stopped it from rolling and even better, I knew how to stop it if it even tried to use Rollout again so things were defiantly looking good so far for me.
Still maybe it might be smart to switch Pokémon right now. After all I don't want to risk Bulbasaur taking any more damage. I thought. "In that case, Bulbasaur return." I said as I recalled Bulbasaur for a rest.
"Huh? What on earth could baby be planning?" Surge said looking very confused.
"Time for my next guy, Lets go Xatu!" I said as I sent out my Xatu to finish the battle with Electrode.
"It that all, Baby here must be stupid or something. Xatu is weak against electric type Pokémon so I have an advantage. Now go Electrode, use Electro Ball!" Surge said sounding very confident
"Xatu lets win this quick by using Shadow Ball to counter!" I said.
Both Pokémon fired their attacks and the electric ball and the Shadow Ball both collided for a second before they cancelled each other out.
"Now use Future Sight!" I said as Xatu's eyes began to glow Blue.
"Now use Rollout!" Surge said as Electrode started to roll toward Xatu but Xatu flew in the air to dodge it.
"Good job. Now let's fire Shadow Ball at Electrode while it's moving!" I said.
Xatu created the Shadow Ball and fired it straight toward Electrode. The Ball hit electrode and knocked Electrode back. Before Electrode had a chance to fire a new attack, it suddenly got hit by the Future Sight attack that I used earlier.
"All right1 Time to end this, Xatu lets end this by using Aerial Ace!" I said.
Xatu then started to fly toward Electrode in order to end the match.
"If we're going down then were taking you down with us! Electrode use Explosion to take out that Xatu!" Surge said
Xatu got close to end the battle, but the Electrode exploded right when Xatu got close. The field then got file with smoke so we couldn't see what happened for a few minute.
"It's over." Surge said.
Suddenly the smoke cleared and Electrode was clearly unable to battle but Xatu was still standing. Don't get me wrong it looked tired as hell but it was still standing.
"All right great jobs Xatu, I knew you could do it!" I said.
"You got to be kidding me. He one that one two, Well looks like it's time for my final Pokémon. Go Raichu!" Surge said as he sent out his Raichu.
(Paul's POV)
"All right just one more. Looks like Barry will win this one. He only has to win one more time. Go Barry keep it up!" Dawn cheered.
"I was this same position earlier when I faced Surge. Believe me things are far from over." Mat said.
"Good point. Barry still has a long way to go. After all this Pokémon is the one Surge is most known for so things are far from over." I said.
"Don't worry I'm sure he'll do fine. And we got to keep cheering him on." Dawn said
"Well let's hope Barry can win. Trust me I want this Surge guy to lose since he annoys me. After all I can't stand people who judge others before they even battled them. Those people are the worse." I said
"True. I can't disagree with that one." Dawn said
"Still Raichu is an extremely powerful opponent. So Lt. Surge may be a jerk and also cocky but his Raichu has the power to back it up." Mat said.
"That may be but we'll just have to watch the battle and see how it goes." I said calmly.
"Right so come on Barry keeps fighting hard!" Dawn cheered.
(Barry's POV)
"Xatu comeback for now you're battled long enough so far." I said as I recalled my Xatu. "All Right Bulbasaur, I'm counting on you once again!" I said as I sent out Bulbasaur again.
"Let's begin. I assure you that Raichu won't be as weak as my last two Pokémon." Surge said.
"We'll see about that. Now go Bulbasaur use Razor Leaf!" I said.
"Dodge it!" Surge said.
Bulbasaur shot out it's leafs but Raichu quickly got out of the way to avoid the attack.
"Now use Vine Whip!" I said.
"Catch the vines and pull Bulbasaur in then use Thunder Punch!" Surge said
Bulbasaur sent out its vines but Raichu caught them and then used them to Pull Bulbasaur in close to Raichu and once Bulbasaur was close enough to Raichu, Raichu took its first and punched Bulbasaur with great force.
"Now Fire Leach Seed Bulbasaur!" I said.
Bulbasaur quickly fired its Leech Seed attack and got Raichu caught in the seeds.
"Good Job Bulbasaur now returns." I said as I called back Bulbasaur. "Now that Raichu is covered in those seeds things should be a lot easier. Come back out Hitmonlee!" I said as I sent out my Hitmonlee.
"Whatever. It won't make a difference who you use in the end thing will be the same. Raichu use Iron Tail!" Surge said.
"Hitmonlee use Mega Kick!" I said.
Raichu hit Hitmonlee with its Iron Tail but then Hitmonlee hit Raichu right back with its Mega Kick."
"Good now jump in the air and use Hi Jump Kick!" I said.
"Wait for it to come to you and dodge at the last second!"
Hitmonlee went flying toward Raichu but Raichu dodged the move so Hitmonlee crashed into the ground and hurt its leg."
"Try using Rolling Kick!" I said as Hetman lee took its leg and kicked Raichu dead in the face.
"Use Iron Tail once more!"
"Counter with Mega Kick!" I said
Raichu swung its tail and Hitmonlee swung its foot and the two moves collided with each other and they ended up canceling the other move out.
"Darn it. Try Rolling Kick!" I said
"Get out of the way!" Surge said.
Even though Hitmonlee was really close to Raichu, Raichu was able to quickly dodge the move and get behind Hitmonlee.
"Good job Raichu, now let's use Thunderbolt!" Surge said.
Raichu then sent out a stream of electricity and shocked Hitmonlee.
"Mega Kick now!" I said
Hitmonlee took its leg and kicked Raichu dead center and knocked Raichu down but Raichu quickly got back up.
"Oh no, Try Mega Kick once more!"
"Let it bring its leg down and then catch it."
Hitmonlee went to kick Raichu with Mega Kick but as it took its leg and swung it down, Raichu was somehow able to catch the attack.
"Good job Raichu now let's end this with Thunderbolt!" Surge said.
Raichu then suddenly shock Hitmonlee with great force. After Raichu finished, Hitmonlee fell it the ground and was finished.
"OH no Hitmonlee! You tried your best now return. Come on out Xatu!" I said as I sent out my Xatu.
"Use Thunderbolt!"
"Dodge it and use Shadow Ball!" I said
Xatu avoided the attack and countered by firing its Shadow Ball at Raichu. The Shadow Ball hit Raichu and knocked it back a few feet.
"Good now use Aerial Ace!"
"Counter with Volt Tackle!" Surge said.
The two Pokémon went straight toward one another and collided but Raichu's attack had clearly won. Xatu got knocked back and then fell to the bound unable to continue.
"Ugh. Xatu return. Good job. One left. Okay then it's all up to you Bulbasaur!" I said as I sent Bulbasaur out for one last fight.
"So now we both only have one Pokémon left huh. Well time to end this. Raichu use Thunder Punch!"
"Stop the attack with Vine Whip!" I said
Raichu went to punch Bulbasaur but Bulbasaur was able to swing its vines in order to hit Raichu and stopped the Thunder Punch from hitting.
"Not bad Baby but what about this. Raichu use Volt Tackle!" Surge said.
Raichu then started running toward Bulbasaur.
"Don't let it hit you. Try to stop is with Razor Leaf!"
Bulbasaur fired it's leafs at Raichu but Raichu was able to run straight through all of those leafs and it looked like it took very little damage. Raichu kept on running and then slammed into Bulbasaur. Bulbasaur then went flying back and then struggled to stand back up. I could tell Bulbasaur had taken a lot of damage. I then looked at Raichu and saw that it had taken quite a bit of recoil damage. But then again if you used two Volt Tackles then that would hurt any Pokémon.
"Let's end this. Raichu use Volt Tackle once again!" Surge said
Got to dodge this one. This way the Raichu will still take recoil damage but I'll be safe. I thought. "Bulbasaur use your vine Whip to jump over Raichu so you can avoid the attack!" I said.
Raichu went running toward Bulbasaur while being covered in electricity but at the last second, Bulbasaur took its vines and slammed them into the ground so that it could go in the air and dodge the Volt Tackle. With no target, Raichu's Volt Tackle kept on going and Raichu ended up running into a wall.
"Raichu get up!" Surge yelled as Raichu struggled to its feet. "Good now let's end this with one last Volt Tackle!" Surge said.
Bulbasaur then started doing something strange, it looked as though it was gathering energy in its Bulb. "Hey wait a minute, isn't that move Solorbeam!" I said.
(Paul's POV)
"Looks like Bulbasaur just learned a new move. Talk about lucky." I said.
"All right keep it up Barry!" Dawn cheered
"Still I wonder if the new move will make a difference." Mat said.
"It wills besides that Raichu's barley standing and most of the damage has been caused by Surge himself. He's been so overconfident that he completely ignored the Leech Seed Barry used earlier. Don't forget that the attack is still sucking away Raichu's health little by little. Also as the Leech Seed drains one Pokémon's health, it also heals the other Pokémon so all though Bulbasaur hurt, it is also getting some health back. Plus there's one more thing on Barry's side."
"And what's that." Mat asked.
"Volt Tackle is a move that causes Recoil Damage to the user. Lt. Surge has been using it carelessly so his Raichu has taken a whole lot of damage. Barry will have to make this final move count and if he can hit with it then he may just win." I said.
(Barry's POV)
"All right now that we have this new move then there's no way we're losing now. All right then Bulbasaur lets fire Solorbeam!" I said.
Bulbasaur continued to charge up for the attack as the Raichu came charging at Bulbasaur. However before Bulbasaur had a chance to fire its Solarbeam, Raichu slammed into it with its Volt Tackle. The Bulbasaur got sent back a few feet.
"Bulbasaur are you all right!" I said.
"Bulb ba" Bulbasaur said as it stopped back up.
"All right now fire the Solorbeam!" I said.
"Bul Ba Saur!" Bulbasaur yelled as it fired its Solarbeam straight towards Raichu with great power. The Solar beam hit Raichu dead center and knocked Raichu down for the count.
"No way, don't tell me Raichu was defeated. Get back up Raichu!" Lt. Surge said but Raichu wouldn't get up. It was finished.
"All right great job Bulbasaur! We won." I said happily.
LT. Surge then walked up to me. "Well kid I got to say that was a great battle we had. You've an earned this." Surge said as he handed me a badge.
"Yes! Thank you. Good match." I said back as I took the badge.
"Great job Barry." Dawn said happily.
"You sure got lucky at the last minute." Paul said.
"Did not, I won because I planned this out so good and cause I'm an awesome trainer. So cut it out or I'll fine you."
"I will admit to the fact that you had a good plan but that's it. I still think luck was a big part of it."
"Cut it out Paul. Besides we've all gotten lucky at times and that helped us win because of it." Dawn said.
"I suppose so but then again I never said luck was a bad thing." Paul said.
"Good then." I said.
"Still I'm a bit jealous. To think you were able to beat Surge and I lost to him. Man this sucks. But next time I face him I'll defiantly win. So I'm off to train." Mat said as he turned and left.
"Someone's mad that you one." Paul said
"And in a few days, I'll have my third contest. I can't wait." Dawn said
"After My win then there's no way you can lose trust me you'll do fine. And try your best" I said.
"Of course Barry and whoever I face then I'll win. Let's just hope it's not Ursula or Conway again."
"Those two sure are annoying huh." Paul said
"That's putting it lightly. Well even if it's one of them then I'll still win. Now let's go and prepare." Dawn said.
"Right" I said as we all left the gym and went to the Pokémon center. Overall things went good Dawn is going to prepare for her next contest and I won my third badge.
To be continued.
Dawn: Nice going Barry, you sure shocked us.
Barry: Well what can I say, I'm awesome. I'm sure Surge is annoyed at that shocking defeat.
Dawn: I'd say it was an electrifying battle.
Paul: Can you two please stop making jokes involving electricity. It really isn't funny
Dawn: We're just fooling around Paul.
Barry: Yea, don't you think I did great in my gym battle today.
Paul: Whatever. Now all what's left is Dawns contest.
Dawn: That's right and I can't wait. Anyway, we hope you liked todays chapter. Please leave a review to let us know what you thought of Barry's gym battle since it has been awhile since his last one. Thanks for reading and see you all next time.
