Davis, Ash and the others were crossing a bridge.

"We finally made it guys." Ross said.

Our heroes have finally arrived in Lavaridge Town where Ash, Davis, and Ross plan on winning their fourth badge.

"Finally Lavaridge City. Time to get that fourth badge." Ash said.

"Pikachu!"

I wanna be the very best

Like no one ever was

To catch them is my real test

To train them is my cause

I will travel across the land

Searching far and wide

It's Pokémon to understand

The power that's inside

Pokémon got catch'em all

It's you and me

I know it's my destiny

Pokémon

Ooh you're my best friend

In a world we must defend

Pokémon got catch'em all

Oh so true

Our courage will pull us through

You teach me and I teach you

Pokémon

Got catch'em all

Got catch'em all

Pokémon

(Ash's voice) Two Fiery Passions

"I can't wait for that badge." Ash said.

"Hey what are those people doing?" Kari said. They saw people sand bathing.

"Lavaridge City is knows to have hot sand that you can relax in." Ross said.

"It's so relaxing." May said.

"I say we get some before the gym battle." Gatomon said

"Great idea." Kari said.

"No way." Ash said. "We go AFTER the gym. Come on Kari you can play in the sand later." He said pushing her.

"Okay just quit shoving." Kari said.

"Why can't Ash learn to relax even if we are in a town with a gym?" May said.

…..

The Gym

They arrived at the gym and Ash was ready.

"Alright time to get that badge." Ash said. Then Flannery came running out with her jacket on fire until she put it out.

"Hot, hot, hot!" Flannery said in a panic and tossed her jacket down.

"Flannery." Ash said.

"Oh I'll be Ash." Flannery said.

"Great to see you again. I bet you're here for a gym battle." Flannery said.

"So are me and our friend Davis here." Ross said.

"Alright let's do this." Davis said.

"We're ready." Exveemon said.

"Hold it Davis." Ross said.

"What is it I'm ready to battle?" Davis said.

"We promised Ash he would go first." Ross said and Davis felt dumb.

"Oh right sorry." Davis said.

"Davis needs to calm down in a gym battle too." Gatomon said.

"Well I'm a man of my word. Go right ahead Ash." Davis said.

"Thanks Davis. Alright Flannery I'm ready to go here." Ash said.

"Well than let's get started." Flannery said and they went to the battle field.

"Flannery must have grown. Last time she was just starting out as gym leader." May said.

"Then let's see how much stronger she's become." Kari said.

"The gym battle between Flannery the gym leader and Ash the challenger will now begin." The referee said. "Each side will use 3 pokemon, the battle will be over when all 3 of one side's pokemon are unable to battle. Furthermore only the challenger may substitute pokemon. Begin!"

"Meg come on out." Flannery said and a Magcargo came out.

"Magcargo!"

"It's a Magcargo." Ross said and Davis got his pokedex out.

"Magcargo, the Lava pokemon and the evolve form of Slugma. It erupts flames from its shell when its body reaches about eighteen thousand degrees."

"Why did she call it Meg?" Kari said.

"Some trainers like to give their pokemon nicknames." Ross said.

"Alright Gible I choose you." Ash said.

"Gible!"

"Gible start out with Rock Smash." Ash said and Gible jumped in.

"Meg use Flamethrower." Flannery said.

"Magcargo!" Magcargo launched flames and pushed Gible back.

"Gible use Dragon Pulse." Ash said.

"Gible!" Gible launched the orb and it hit.

"Now Meg used Smog." Flannery said and Magcargo launched a poison cloud that hurt Gible.

"Gible use Dig." Ash said and Gible went underground.

"Meg sense where Gible is and use Reflect." Flannery said. Magcargo sensed where Gible was underground and blocked Gible with an invisible wall.

"How did Flannery do that?" Kari said.

"Magcargo are part rock types and Reflect cuts the attack's power in half." Ross said.

"Now Meg use Flamethrower." Flannery said and Gible got blasted by the fire. "Now use Body Slam." Magcargo jumped up and slammed down on Gible.

"Gible use Draco Meteor." Ash said. Magcargo was surrounded by energy and Gible launched it. When it exploded Magcargo was knocked out.

"Magcargo is unable to battle, Gible is the winner." The referee said.

"Great job Gible." Ash said.

"Gible!"

"Oh yeah this battle has me all fired up." Ash said with flames burning around.

"That makes two of us." Flannery said with the same kind of flames.

"Is there an echo out here?" Gatomon said.

"Those two need to cool down." Ross said.

"Squirtle."

"Now Mag I choose you." Flannery said and another Magcargo came out.

"Magcargo."

"Another Magcargo?" Kari said.

"She must have gotten both her Slugma to evolve." May said.

"Alright Gible use Rock Smash." Ash said.

"Gible!" Gible was heading straight for Magcargo, but it was blocked by Reflect.

"What!?" Ash said.

"Ash be careful Reflect can last for a while." Ross said.

"Now Mag use Yawn." Flannery said and Magcargo launched a bubble that when it hit Gible, Gible began to feel drowsy.

"Gible quick before you fall asleep use Draco Meteor." Ash said.

"I don't think so use Ancient Power." Flannery said. Magcargo created a white orb and hit Gible. When the smoke cleared Gible was asleep.

"Gible wake up." Ash said.

"Mag use Earthquake." Flannery said and the ground began to shake and an opening came from the ground with Gible getting stuck in. "Now Mag use Flamethrower."

"Gible quick get up." Ash said, but Gible was still asleep and got hit.

"Finish this with Ancient Power." Flannery said and Magcargo launched the finishing move.

"Gible is unable to battle, Magcargo is the winner."

"Gible return, now you can rest." Ash said as Gible was brought back in its pokeball. "Now Buizel I choose you."

"Bui!"

"Buizel use Water Gun." Ash said.

"Bui!" Buizel launched the shot of water and it hit, but Reflect was still in effect.

"Mag use Yawn." Flannery said as Magcargo launched the bubble.

"Not this time. Buizel use Sonic Boom." Ash said and when Buizel launched it, it burst the bubble. "Buizel use Aqua Jet." Buziel went in around water and was able to break through the Reflect.

"Alright Ash broke through." May said.

"Way to go Ash." Davis said.

"Mag use Smog." Flannery said and Magcargo launched the smoke.

"Buizel dodge it." Ash said and Ash moved out of the way. "Now Buizel use Ice Punch."

"Mag keep them back with Flamethrower." Flannery said and Magcargo launched the Flamethrower and kept Buizel back.

"She's trying to keep Ash and Buizel back." Ross said.

"Now Mag use Earthquake." Flannery said. Magcargo had the ground shaking and Buizel fell through the ground.

"Buizel!" Ash said.

"Mag use Ancient Power." Flannery said and Magcargo was getting ready to launch the attack.

"Buizel use Aqua Jet and spin." Ash said.

"Bui!" Buizel began to spin around with Buizel being surrounded by water and got free. Then Buizel struck down and Magcargo was knocked out.

"Magcargo is unable to battle, Buizel is the winner." The referee said.

"Mag rest up." Flannery said and got Mag back in the pokeball. "Now Torkoal let's go."

"Torkoal!" Davis got his pokedex out.

"Torkoal, the Coral pokemon. Torkoal launch black smoke from its nose from burning coal that it stores in its shell."

"Ash knows all about Torkoal since he has one of his own." May said.

"Buizel use Water Gun." Ash said and Buizel launched the water.

"Torkoal Iron Defense." Flannery said.

"Torkoal!" Torkoal ducked inside its shell and was safe.

"Torkoal use Gyro Ball." Flanney said and Torkoal began to spun around and hit Buizel.

"Buizel use Water Gun again." Ash said, but the Water Gun was blocked again.

"Torkoal use Sludge Bomb." Flannery said. Torkoal came out and launched sludge at Buizel that exploded on contact. "Now use Overheat." Torkoal launched an extreme fire blast and Buizel got hit and knocked out.

"Buizel is unable to battle, Torkoal is the winner." The referee said.

"Buizel return." Ash said and got Buizel back in the pokeball. "Okay buddy let's do this."

"Pikachu!" Pikachu went onto the battle field.

"Alright Pikachu use Thunder Bolt." Ash said.

"Pikachu!"

"Torkoal use Gyro Ball." Torkoal spun around and deflected the attack.

"No way she even deflected Thunder Bolt." Exveemon said.

"Torkoal use Sludge Bomb." Flannery said and Torkoal launched the slime.

"Pikachu quick dodge it." Ash said and Pikachu moved out of the way. "Pikachu use Quick Attack."

"Torkoal use Iron Defense." Flannery said. When Torkoal ducked in it shell Pikachu hit his head against it. "Now Torkoal Overheat."

"Torkoal!" Pikachu got hit by the fire at close range.

"A close range Overheat. Overheat may get weaker with each time it's used, but still that's powerful." Ross said.

"Pikachu hang in there." Ash said.

"Now use Sludge Bomb." Flannery said and Pikachu got hit again.

"Pikachu!" Ash said.

"I don't think even Pikachu can take much more." Kari said as Pikachu struggled to get up.

"Now Torkoal use Gyro Ball." Flannery said and Torkoal was spinning its way.

"Wait that's it. Pikachu use Iron Tail." Ash said.

"Chu Pika!" Pikachu struck at Torkoal under the shell.

"Now Pikachu use Volt Tackle." Ash said. Pikachu charged in and hit Torkoal under the shell again and was knocked out.

"Torkoal is unable to battle, Pikachu is the winner, victory goes to Ash the challenger." The referee said.

"Alright, way to go buddy." Ash said hugging Pikachu. Ash was being awarded his badge.

"You definitely gotten stronger Ash. Here's the Heat Badge." Flannery said.

"Thanks Flannery." Ash said. "Yes I got the Heat Badge!"

"Pika/Bui/Gible!"

"Man after that battle I can't stay put tomorrow I want to battle." Davis said.

"You're just fired up." Ross said.

"I can't let this flame go out." Davis said.

"When did that flame ever go out?" Gatomon said.

"Well we still have a few days here and relaxing too much can be a bad thing." Kari said.

"I can't wait." Davis said.

….

"The gym battle between Flannery the gym leader and Davis the challenger will now begin." The referee said. "Each side will be allowed 3 pokemon, the battle will be over when all 3 of one sides pokemon are unable to battle. Furthermore only the challenger may substitute pokemon. Begin!"

"Torkoal let's go." Flannery said and Torkoal came out.

"Torkoal!"

"Gastrodon let's do this." Davis said.

"Gastrodon!"

After Ash won his gym battle Davis is all set for his gym battle. Will he come out victorious or will his flaming passion burn out.
