Erika the Princess of Celadon
"ERIKA! I CHALLENGE YOU TO A GYM MATCH!"
After Ash yells this, he then notices that the only people that are in the room are Brock and Misty who are covering there ears from Ash's shout.
"Hey, what are you guys doing here?" Ash asks.
"Helping Erika flower this room's garden." Brock says.
"Ash why are you yelling?" Misty asks.
"No time where is Erika?" Ash asks.
Before any of the two could answer, Ash fell over from a Stun Spore attack from Rose's Weepinbell. The other two maids, Lily and Aphelandra, are also behind her with Aphelandra's Bayleef carrying Primeape and Pidgeotto with Vine Whip, and Cheryl is also behind them. She is apologizing to Ash for not stalling them long enough since Wobbuffet fell asleep from Lily's Gloom's Sleep Powder. As the maids were about to throw Ash out, they heard the yawn of a young lady. Opening another door to the room, a beautiful young woman in a yellow and red kimono with short black hair and a Bellossom by her side came in. This is the gym leader of Celadon, Erika.
"Yawn. I'm sorry Brock and Misty I dozed off a bit. Excuse me, but did someone challenge me to a gym match?" Erika says.
Brock and Misty point to the stunned Ash that the maids are trying to hide and are denying. Erika asks them if they are lying, and they obediently say that they are.
"Wow, she isn't that cruel or scary and yet those three are intimidated by her." Misty states.
"It's because Erika is so beautiful." Brock says.
"I doubt that is the real reason."
Erika tells her maids to treat Ash's paralyzes, heal his pokemon, and to apologize to him. Erika then leaves to go to the battlefield where she will wait for Ash.

Ash was healed by a perfume Lily has that treats numbness. All of Ash's pokemon, even Pikachu and Marshtomp who didn't do any battles inside the gym, were treated with special all natural organic medicine made in Celadon. During this Ash went to get Venusaur back, who as it turns out was being greatly pampered. Along with Venusaur, Kyle also went with Ash so that he would know why Celadon doesn't allow male challengers.
After apologizing to him, the maids then explain that Erika's family owns not only the Celadon Gym, but also the large perfume shop in town for three generations. In addition, Erika's family also helped built most and maybe all of Celadon when it was founded. In some opinions, Erika is like Celadon's own princess and has the power to control the city. Everyone is shocked to know about Erika's great wealth, but Ash snaps out of it and asks what it has to do with him not being able to challenge Erika.
"Because most men are greedy power-hungry fools. Madame Erika shouldn't be around such filth, and it is our and the staff of the gym's job to protect her from such filth." Aphelandra angrily says (toward Ash for no reason).
"The brutal nature of men during a battle could very well destroy all of Lady Erika's confidence or cause her personality to be similar to a moronic man's." Lily also angrily says toward Ash.
"Or worse. Since battles bring out so much emotion, Erika-sama could actually fall in love with someone who could very well destroy her heart." Rose says just angrily to Ash.
"AND SHE IS NOT READY FOR MARRIAGE!" all three of them yelled.
"I just wanted a gym badge." Ash says dazed and confused by all of that.
"I don't get it. Why do those girls not allow guys to fight Erika?" Cheryl asks the group.
"Easy. Erika likes to hire the insane." Misty bluntly states.

After everything has been taken care of, Ash and Erika, who just woke up from a small nap, are ready to fight. The battlefield is the only spot in the gym that doesn't have any sprinklers around it so people can use water pokemon. The match will be 3 vs. 3 with Aphelandra as the official. Erika starts off by calling out Tangela and Ash calls out his Quilava.
"Tangela, the vine pokemon and grassy-type. Its entire body is covered in vines. The vines entangle anything they touch." The pokedex says.
Quilava uses Flamethrower and Tangela uses Natural Gift. Natural Gift turns the Occa berry (A/N: the berry that halves super-effective fire moves that hit the one that ate it. Turns Natural Gift into a fire move.) in Tangela's vines into a large orange colored energy blast. The two attacks cancel each other out by creating an explosion. Vines then come out of the smoke cloud, and Tangela uses Bind on Quilava. While the fire pokemon is being squeezed, Tangela releases Stun Spore on Quilava. Tangela uses this as an opportunity to use Recycle (A/N: I know that Tangela can't legally learn Recycle, but it will make the battle more interesting.). While the Occa berry is being reform, Ash notices that Quilava is directly in front of Tangela and the vines make it so that he will remain that way. So he has Quilava use Flamethrower. Tangela ate the Occa berry to reduce the damage. Tangela uses Recycle again. After the berry was reformed again, Quilava uses Lava Plume. Although the Occa berry halved the damage, the fiery explosion burned the binding vines completely off and burns Tangela too. Tangela uses Bind again, but Quilava used the Lava Plume as a cover to use Dig. Before Quilava pops up, Tangela uses Recycle. Quilava pops up from the ground, to use Flamethrower. Though the Occa halved the attack, Tangela fainted from the attack and its burn. Quilava wins.
Both Erika and Ash return their respective pokemon, and to call out there next ones. Ash calls out Pidgeotto and Erika calls out Weepinbell, who is holding a Heat Rock.
"Weepinbell, the flycatcher pokemon, grass/poison-type, and the evolve form of Bellsprout. Weepinbell can release a potent acid that can melt anything in seconds. It also carries a neutralizing fluid to prevent its insides from being dissolved from the potent acid." The pokedex says.
Pidgeotto uses Aerial Ace on Weepinbell. Weepinbell uses Ingrain to hold its ground. Pidgeotto uses Wing Attack but Weepinbell counters by shooting Acid from its mouth. After Wing Attack failed, Weepinbell uses Sunny Day. The strong sunlight causes Chlorophyll to kick in. Weepinbell releases Acid and Magical Leaf on Pidgeotto. Pidgeotto uses Twister to flinch Weepinbell and finishes with Aerial Ace. Pidgeotto wins. After Weepinbell is returned Erika calls out Bellossom.
"Bellossom, the flower pokemon, grass-type, and the evolve form of Gloom. The worse smelling a Gloom is, the more beautiful and pleasant smelling the Bellossom's flowers will be. They are well known for their acrobatic dances." The pokedex says.
With the harsh Sunlight, Bellossom's Chlorophyll makes it able to use a fully charged Solarbeam first. After Pidgeotto got hit by the light green energy blast and fell down to the ground, Bellossom runs up to the bird, with two of her leaves from her grass skirt standing horizontally and glowing green, to deliver a Leaf Blade attack. However, Pidgeotto uses Wing Attack to help defend off the attack. After the two attacks stop working, Pidgeotto uses Aerial Ace. After Bellossom is hit with the flying attack, Bellossom's head flowers glow green and they each release a green blast at Pidgeotto. This attack, Giga Drain, heals Bellossom partially. Pidgeotto uses Twister so Bellossom could be stunned, but Bellossom fires a Solarbeam down at an angle to avoid the whirlwind. Bellossom then hits Pidgeotto's blind spot with Leaf Blade. Pidgeotto then uses Aerial Ace on Bellossom, and while the bird is close to the grass pokemon, Bellossom KO's Pidgeotto with Solarbeam. Bellossom wins.
Ash withdraws his fainted Pidgeotto and calls out Quilava. Bellossom fires a Solarbeam, but Quilava endures it. Quilava starts to glow with a red aura from his Blaze ability. Quilava uses rest to completely heal himself. During this, Bellossom glows green to use Synthesis to completely heal herself. Bellossom uses Leaf Blade on Quilava, and after that, Quilava wakes up. Quilava and Bellossom then clash with there own respective attacks: Flamethrower and Solarbeam. During the explosion create by the two attacks, Quilava uses what little moments of sunlight is left to release a super charged Lava Plume. After that attack had hit, the sunlight turned to normal, but surprisingly a fully charged Solarbeam hits Quilava. Turns out Bellossom was holding a Power Herb, and ate it to skip the charge. Bellossom uses Giga Drain on Quilava, and while she was draining the fire pokemon's health, Quilava uses Flamethrower on Bellossom. After being hit, Bellossom uses Synthesis. Quilava uses Flamethrower again, but Bellossom dodges it and hits Quilava with a Leaf Blade attack. After being hit by a critical hit, Quilava's Blaze ability kicks in. Quilava then digs underground. While underground, Bellossom collects sunlight to prepare a Solarbeam. Another hole starts to form from underground, and Quilava jumps up from underground. Bellossom fires a Solarbeam, but Quilava, mimicking what Bellossom did against Pidgeotto, fires Flamethrower at an angle to dodge the attack and appear behind Bellossom. Quilava then uses a Blaze powered Flamethrower on Bellossom and faints the grass-type. Quilava wins. Ash defeats Erika.
"Alright Quilava. You did it!" Ash congratulates his pokemon. While Quilava is feeling confident, he starts to glow. Quilava then evolves into a Typhlosion.
"Typhlosion, the volcano pokemon, fire-type, and the evolve form of Quilava. When angered, it can create enough heat to make any object go up in flames. It rubs its blazing fur together cause huge explosions." The pokedex says.
"Wow you did great, and your pokemon are proof that you really are a great trainer. Anyways, before I forget, here is the Rainbow Badge." Erika says handing Ash a badge that has the appearance of a seven pedaled, rainbow colored flower. This is the Rainbow Badge.

After getting some supplies the gang then leave for the Fuchsia Gym. Only now, Brock decides to go with them. Right now the gang has another traveler to make there adventure more exciting.
A/N: This chapter will make all the Brock fans happy for the next few chapters. The reason why Erika took naps in this chapter is because in the games she will usually mention about dozing off, so she is either narcoleptic or is around a lot of sleep powder. Also I want to get as many chapters done so I can get to Blaine, or before college overwhelms me. Whichever comes xfirst?
