For the first time, let's take a tour of my office!
(Charmander is in the background, playing Wii)
All the writing and events in the beginning and end of the story take place in my room. It's a small room. It has a desk, a chair, TV, book shelf, a closet, and a bed. I keep my laptop on a tray. And that's it for the tour! I hope it was interesting. Oh, who am I kidding, that's not interesting?

Finding the gym was easy. It wasn't too long before Sarah was training with the trainers in the gym. At first, she worked with Volta, they perfected their attacks. After a while, she started training her other pokemon. All the training really helped Frodo.
As she trained, Sarah remembered what she had learned in that pokemon school, and realized that Frodo was the perfect pokemon to fight against electric type pokemon. Even though she was trying to train all of her pokemon, she soon found herself training Volta and Frodo the most.
The training was tough, and none of the people in the gym went easy on her, which was exactly what she wanted. It took a lot of work, but each of her pokemon learned a new move, which would defiantly help her in battles that were sure to come.
At last, she felt her training was complete. It took her two months, but it was really worth it. Nicolai Valdes joined her as they went to the pokemon center. He had helped her in the training, and it showed immensely.
After their pokemon were healed at the pokemon center, they moved into the dining room to discuss what they should do next. This part wasn't too hard. As she had been training, Lt. Surge actually showed some interest in how she was progressing. They had decided to have their gym battle the next day, that way Sarah could be at full power when they battled.
Before she knew it, Sarah was standing in front of the gym. This gym looked bigger than the other gyms she had seen so far, but for some reason, she liked Misty's gym better.
Pushing the doors open, Sarah strolled into the room, with Nicolai Valdes walking besides her. In front of them stood Lt. Surge and some of the people she had trained with, along with his Raichu.
Sarah took out her pokedex, "Raichu, the mouse pokemon. Raichu is the final form of Pikachu, its electrical attacks may reach 10,000 volts, and careless contact can cause even an Indian elephant to faint. It discharges electricity from its long tail, so it is not harmed by its own power. If it stores too much electricity, its behavior turns aggressive. To avoid this, it occasionally discharges excess energy and calms itself down by planting its tail in the ground and discharging electricity. Scorched patches of ground will be found near this Pokémon's nest. It searches for electricity by planting its tail in the ground. When its electricity builds, its muscles are stimulated, and it becomes more aggressive than usual. This Pokémon exudes a weak electrical charge from all over its body that makes it take on a slight glow in darkness if the electric pouches in its cheeks become fully charged; both ears will stand straight up. And if its electric pouches run empty, it raises its tail to gather electricity from the atmosphere."
Man, that was long, though Sarah as she looked at Voltas pokeball. If she evolved her pokemon, she would have that awesome pokemon.
Lt. Surges voice broke through her thoughts, "hey baby, are you just going to stand there all day, or are we going to battle?!"
Annoyed with his attitude, Sarah put Volta pokeball back on the belt that was wrapped around her waist, where she kept all of her other pokeballs. One of the things that annoyed her the most was his attitude. At first he was all chummy when they meet. When he found out that she was going to battle him, he criticized her under evolved pokemon, especially Volta.
She took out the pokemon she was going to use, and pointed the pokeball at him, "I'm ready if you are!"
Seeing that both battlers where ready, the referee took his spot at the center of the field. "This is a one on one battle. No time limit, begin!!" With that, he raised the flags that he was holding, one red and one green.
"Let's go Raichu," shouted out Lt. Surge, as said Raichu leapt onto the battle field.
"I knew that you would be going with that," smirked Sarah, who then proceeded to send out Frodo.
Before anything else could happen, another flash occurred as Volta released herself from her pokeball and glared at Sarah.
Seeing that Volta was mad, Sarah comforted her, "look, I know you want revenge, but your team mate is going to do it for you. Team mates help each other out."
Seeing what Sarah was saying, Volta waved at Frodo on the battle field, then went and joined Nicolai on the side lines.
Sarah turned to Lt. Surge, who was crossing his arms, looking impatient; the same could be said for his Raichu as well. "Since that took so long, I'll give you the first move," she said, almost mockingly.
"You'll regret that choice, baby! Raichu finish this in one move, Thunderbolt," Shouted out Lt. Surge, a move that was instantly followed by his Raichu, who sent out a huge bolt of electricity. There was lot of electricity in the air that Lt. Surge was already shouting out about his victory, "Looks like your pokemon had no chance!"
When the attack ended, Frodo was still sitting in one place, like nothing even happened, with Sarah looking at him in disbelief, "you know electric moves don't affect the roc…"
"Ground," interrupted a voice. Sarah looked over at the person who had spoken out, "electric attacks don't affect ground pokemon," finished Nicolai.
"Uhhh…that's what I meant to say," continued Sarah, embarrassedly, "you should have known that attack wouldn't work."
"I knew that," shouted out Lt. Surge, who looked mad, "I was just testing you!! Raichu, use the mega punch!" Getting over his embarrassment, Raichu launched a punch at Frodo.
Seeing this as her chance to launch a counter attack, Sarah shouted out, "Frodo, use defense curl!" Frodo put his arms in a cross in front of himself, which took the brunt of the attack. It even pushed Frodo back a bit.
Seeing this as his chance, Lt. Surge commanded a continuation of a barrage of mega punches and mega kicks, as Frodo continued to up his defenses.
With Volta cheering her on, Sarah decided to go on and attack, "Ok Frodo, use roll out!!"
Hearing that his opponent had a plane, Lt. Surge changed his plans, "Raichu, use body slam!"
Raichu leapt back, and using his tail, leapt forward, in an attempt to crush Frodo underneath his belly. But it was too late. Instead of crushing Frodo, Raichu just hit the ground as Frodo spun out of the way, and going in a complete circle, hit Raichu in the back. This went on for about five turns, as Raichu tried to hit Frodo with a body slam, and Frodo got glancing blow after glancing blow on Raichu.
After a while, the rollout subsided, and Frodo stopped moving. Seeing that Raichus static ability had paralyzed Frodo, Lt. Surge started to laugh, "How's that for you, there's an electric shock that even works on ground types! Now Raichu, finish it off with a mega punch!" Raichu again leapt at Frodo, ready to strike.
"You're right Surge, this will be our last attack as well, now Frodo, use Magnitude," Sarah shouted out. Before Raichu hit, Frodo slammed both fists down onto the ground. This instantly knocked Raichu off his feet onto his butt, knocking him out.
Seeing that Raichu wasn't getting up any time soon, the referee put down one of the flags, "Raichu is unable to battle, and the victory goes to Sarah and her Geodude!!"
With this said, Sarah and Volta joined Frodo on the battle field, both congratulating him on a battle well fought.
After checking on his Raichu, Lt. Surge joined them. "Well, it looks like you are no baby." With that, Sarah got a handshake, and her next badge.
They made it back to the pokemon center, where only Frodo was checked, since he was the only one who fought. As they had lunch, Nicolai brought up a good point, they still had 17 days left until the tournament, what should they do now?
Man this chapter took forever to write. I could have made it longer, but it's actually time for me to go to bed. I admit, I had the beginning of this chapter on my laptop for a while, but I never got around to finishing it. I remember when I used to do a chapter a day.
There is a reason I mentioned the rock, ground thing. Once, there was this sudowoodo, in Silver. I think I was trying to catch it. And I thought, it's a rock type, it's last against an electric attack. So I beat it using one electric attack. Goes to show you that you can't trust the TV show.
