A/N - This chapter, the battle between Sorine and Lucas continues. Hope you enjoy!

The dust began to clear. Everyone waited with bated breath. The dust completely cleared. Everyone gasped in shock.

"Both Pokémon are unable to battle!" the ref declared as both pictures on the scoreboard turned grey. "Choose your last Pokémon!" he yelled after the Trainers withdrew their Pokémon.

"Diggersby, I choose you!" Lucas yelled as threw the Poké Ball.

"Okay Luxray, let's give it everything we've got!" Sorine yelled, throwing her final Poké Ball as hard as she could. Diggersby's picture on the scoreboard returned to its normal colour while the Poké Ball symbol next to Sorine's photo was replaced by a photo of Luxray. The two Pokémon stared each other down, neither saying anything.

"The winner of this battle will decide the match. Begin!" the ref said.

"Luxray, use Ice Fang!" Sorine commanded. Luxray's fangs then glowed light blue and it fired two beams of light blue energy from its fangs at Diggersby.

"Dodge it with Quick Dig!" Lucas yelled. Diggersby then shot into the ground and shot out underneath Luxray with white streaks trailing behind, sending the electric type into the air. The two Pokémon landed safely on the ground in front of their Trainers, adrenaline pumping in everyone.

"Luxray, use Swagger!" Sorine yelled. Luxray's tail then began to glow red as it swung it around in a teasing manner, confusing Diggersby whose eyes turned red as a red ring of energy appeared around it briefly. "Follow up with Bite!" she commanded.

"Use Double Slap to knock it away!" Lucas countered. As Luxray closed in on Diggersby, the ground type began to slap itself. Luxray then bit down on one of the ears, causing Diggersby to become more angry as it threw the electric type off. "Diggersby, you've gotta snap out of it!" Lucas called out, causing Diggersby to turn to Lucas. "Come on, let's win this!" Lucas cheered as Diggersby snapped out of confusion.

"Luxray use Ice Fang!" Sorine yelled, throwing her arm to the side. Luxray shot the blue beams of energy towards Diggersby once more.

"Use Agility followed by Quick Attack!" Lucas countered. Diggersby briefly glowed white as the attack rushed towards it. Just as the attack was about to hit, it sped out of the way and shot towards Luxray with white streaks trailing behind it. Diggersby checked Luxray straight into the wall behind Sorine, leaving an imprint. Luxray fell out of the wall onto the floor. It then got up and shakily walked back onto the battlefield.

"Luxray, are you sure?" Sorine asked worriedly. Luxray nodded and growled in response. "Okay, finish this with Bite!" Sorine yelled.

"Oh no you don't." Lucas retorted. "Wrap this up with Mud Shot!" he yelled, punching his fist forwards. Luxray charged towards Diggersby as the inside of the ground type's mouth began to glow orange, before it fired multiple balls of mud at Luxray. Luxray was pummeled by the attack, knocking the Pokémon out.

"Luxray is unable to battle!" the ref declared, causing the picture on the scoreboard to go grey. "That means the winner of this Gym Battle are Lucas and Diggersby!" he announced. The scoreboard then put Lucas' photo in the middle with the word winner underneath in all capital letters and a confetti shower animation.

"That was truly an electrifying battle!" Sorine exclaimed, adrenaline still pumping. She then walked over to Lucas holding a small metal object. "You have proven to be powerful enough to take on Electric types and win." she praised. "Now take this Thump Badge." she instructed as she handed him the object in her hand. It was in the shape of cloud and had black colouring with small yellow lightning bolts inside.

"Alright, I just won… the Thump Badge!" he cheered as he struck a pose holding the badge aloft, before placing it into his badge case.

"You did it, Rookie!" Summer cheered as she and Mitch joined the two.

"I gotta admit that I was worried about your choice of Pokémon." Mitch admitted. "But you know what, you did it anyway. Well done." he complimented.

"So where are we off to next, Rookie?" Summer asked.

"Sorine?" Lucas asked, deferring the question to her.

"Hm." she said as she rubbed her chin in thought. "The closest Gym from here would be in Magnogrand City." she answered.

"Tomorrow, it's off to Magnogrand City!" Lucas announced as he walked out of the Gym.

"You know, I think he's actually starting to chill out a little." Summer opined in her thoughts. "Although, even I'm pretty tired and I was just watching, so maybe not." she thought to herself.

A/N - And that marks the end of the Sitka City Arc and the end of my first two-part battle. I hope I did well. So, Lucas won his fifth Gym Badge and is getting ever closer to the Adina League. Summer's Pokémon also got a level boost because she was getting underleveled. The next arc is a very eventful one. What happens next? Find out next time, as the journey continues…
