"Good luck," Jade grinned. Evan nodded as he entered the doors of the Gym. It was the day after the Fighting Dojo challenge, and Evan was raring to be able to finally challenge the Saffron City Gym.
Evan walked around. It was a completely empty Gym, like Koga's, but surely it couldn't be that there were two Gyms with the same obstacles. After wandering around for awhile, Evan finally saw a glowing teleporter. Walking into it, the surroundings around Evan morphed, before the Trainer found himself standing in another room. There was another teleporter in the room for all to see. Evan was about to step into it, when he caught sight of another teleporter. His gaze darting to and fro, Evan decided to take a chance and enter the teleporter he'd saw first.
"Welcome, challenger," said a cold voice that rivalled Koga's. "My name is Sabrina, the Gym Leader of Saffron City. It is most pleased to make your acquaintance." Evan looked around, until his gaze rested on a beautiful young woman in a red, long-sleeved shirt.
"You did well stepping into this teleporter," Sabrina smiled, as she walked slowly towards Evan. "If you'd entered the other teleporter, you would have been ambushed by a Gym Trainer." The Gym Leader paused for awhile, before continuing on with her speech. "I have yet to thank you for saving the Silph Co. from the evil clutches of Team Rocket. Even though I don't really like battling, let me thank you with a proper Gym battle! Go, Kadabra!"
"What are the rules?" Evan asked, looking at Sabrina's Pokemon. He took out his PokeDex as Sabrina quickly explained the rules.
"Both the challenger and the Gym Leader can use four Pokemon each. The challenger is allowed to substitute Pokemon during the match, and no items are allowed. Is this alright with you?"
"Absolutely," Evan nodded, as his eyes fixed on the PokeDex.
"Kadabra, the Psi Pokemon. Employing powerful telekinetic attacks, Kadabra emits peculiar alpha waves when it has a headache. These alpha waves may cause machines to malfuction." Evan took out one of his Pokeballs. That was all he needed to know.
"Psychic-types are weak to Ghost-types, so let's go Haunter!" Evan yelled, throwing the Pokeball.
"Haunt Haunt Haunt Haunt!" Haunter said in a sing-song voice as it was sent out. Grinning, Haunter circled Kadabra playfully.
"What's it doing?" Sabrina demanded.
"Oh, you know, just playing," Evan struggled to find the right words as his Haunter continued making faces at the startled Kadabra.
"If you will not make the first move, I shall. Kadabra, Psybeam!" Kadabra's eyes glowed, before they fired beams of psychic energy. Seeing this, Haunter levitated quickly into the air, dodging the attack.
"Haunter, Hypnosis!" Haunter's hypnotic waves floated slowly towards Kadabra.
"Reflect," Sabrina commanded. With it's Psychic powers, Kadabra created a mirror in front of it. The hypnotic waves bounced off the mirror and back at Haunter. Alarmed, Haunter flew out of the way, only just avoiding the attack.
"Future Sight," Sabrina was calm. Too calm, in fact. Kadabra's eyes glowed a bright blue, but then they stopped. Evan was puzzled, but he decided not to dwell on it.
"Haunter, Shadow Punch!" One of Haunter's hands flew forward. The attack was so fast that Kadabra was unable to dodge, thus the Psi Pokemon was knocked back by the super effective attack.
"Yeah! Good one Haunt-" Evan's eyes widened as a bright blue beam of Psychic energy seemingly from nowhere came and blasted Haunter back as well. Haunter was thrown at his feet, no longer able to battle. Sabrina had a sly smile etched on her face.
"Although Ghost-type moves are super effective against Psychic-types, Haunter is a dual Ghost and Poison type. Poison-types are weak against Psychic-type moves, thus my Future Sight, a Psychic move, was super effective against Haunter as well." Sabrina explained.
"That was Future Sight?" Evan looked at his PokeDex.
"Future Sight is a powerful Psychic-type move that uses up two turns. In the first turn where Future Sight is used, Kadabra will fire it's Psychic energy towards the spot where it predicts the target will land at next. The next turn, the target will be hit," the PokeDex said.
"Return then, Haunter!" Evan recalled Haunter, and took out another Pokeball holding his latest Pokemon. "Alright, Hitmonchan, it's your turn!"
"An unwise decision, sending a Fighting-type against my Psychic Pokemon," Sabrina shook her head. Then her eyes narrowed on the Hitmonchan. "Say, this Hitmonchan looks very familiar."
"Of course! It's a gift from the Karate Master next door!" Evan revealed, as Hitmonchan showed off a few fighting poses.
"Oh. Kiyo. He was pretty sore over my victory. Well, I'll defeat this Hitmonchan like I did the last time, with my Kadabra. Psybeam!" Kadabra executed it's attack, but Hitmonchan jumped into the air in the nick of time.
"Great leap, Hitmonchan! Now, land with your the most powerful ThunderPunch you can muster, now!" Evan ordered. "Show her how wrong she is!"
"Monchaaan!" Hitmonchan nodded, it's fist already crackling with electricity. Moving speedily, Hitmonchan had landed Kadabra paralyzed with it's ThunderPunch before Kadabra could use Teleport like Sabrina had ordered it to.
"Alright! Now that it's paralyzed... Hitmonchan, finish it! Fire Punch!" Hitmonchan's fist became engulfed in raging flames, and it punched Kadabra hard with it. Kadabra cried out as it was thrown backwards, and landing at Sabrina's feet.
"Knocked out!" Evan punched the air.
"Hitmonchaan!" Hitmonchan punched the air as well.
"So it seems you have gotten stronger," Sabrina addressed Hitmonchan. Looking down at her Kadabra with a face etched with pain, she sighed. "This is why I detest battling. Ah, well. Kadabra, return." Recalling Kadabra, Sabrina held up another Pokeball. A red beam was shot out of it, revealing another peculiar Pokemon.
"Mr. Mime, the Barrier Pokemon. It is skilled in pantomime and can make actual walls appear. This is often used as a defensive tactic. When interrupted while miming, it'll DoubleSlap the offender with it's broad hands to the moon and back," beeped the PokeDex.
"Switch! Hitmonchan, return!" Evan recalled Hitmonchan, and took out the Pokeball that held the third Pokemon he was going to use. "Alright, let's go Jolteon!"
"A Jolteon?" Sabrina observed the creature, before pointing at it. "Mr. Mime, Psybeam!"
"Sand Attack!" Jolteon quickly started kicking sand into Mr. Mime's eyes, hindering it. "ThunderShock! Zap it down!" Jolteon began gathering electricity, before it released ThunderShock. However, Mr. Mime and Sabrina were prepared for this.
"Barrier!" Sabrina ordered. Mr. Mime, though it had been blinded, put it's hands in front of it. ThunderShock bounced off Mr. Mime harmlessly.
"What? ThunderShock again!" Jolteon nodded, and repeated the same move, but like earlier, it was deflected. "What's that?" Evan looked up at Sabrina for an explanation, who had a triumphant smile on her face.
"Barrier is a move that, well, creates an invisible barrier to deflect any kind of attacks for a few turns," Sabrina grinned. "Let's put your Jolteon out of it's misery. First, Calm Mind!" Mr. Mime closed it's eyes and pressed it's fingers against it's head.
"What's that? Urgh, Jolteon, keep using ThunderShock!" Evan yelled.
"Jol!" Jolteon sent another blast of ThunderShock, however, it bounced off again.
"Now that Calm Mind has boosted Mr. Mime's attack and defense stats... finish Jolteon with Psybeam!" Evan could vaguely see the barrier vanish as Mr. Mime fired it's Psychic energy at Jolteon.
"Quick Attack!" Jolteon, with it's temporary speed boost, swiftly avoided Mr. Mime's Psybeam, before ramming into Mr. Mime, knocking it backwards. "Heh! We were lucky!" Evan admitted. "Now, Jolteon! Sand Attack again!"
"Jol, Jol, Jol!" Jolteon cried out it's name repeatedly as it kicked more sand into Mr. Mime's face.
"And then Quick Attack!" Jolteon then turned around and knocked Mr. Mime down onto the ground. "Oh yeah! Take that!"
"You need more than that to take down Mr. Mime! Psybeam!" Sabrina commanded. Getting up, Mr Mime fired it's Psychic energy, knocking Jolteon down.
"Jol..." Jolteon struggled to get up.
"Come on, Jolteon!" Evan yelled.
"I'm sorry, but I'll have to do this. Psybeam again, Mr. Mime!" Mr. Mime repeated it's technique, this time blasting Jolteon into the air, earning an agonized cry, before the poor Pokemon was thrown onto the ground.
"Jolteon!" Evan quickly took out Jolteon's Pokeball. "Return! Avenge Jolteon, Poliwrath!"
"Poli, Poliwrath!" Poliwrath cried.
"Mr. Mime, Calm Mind to boost your Attack further," said Sabrina calmly.
"Get it! Strength!" Poliwrath's muscles bulged and it jumped at Mr. Mime and grabbed it's leg.
"Huh?" Sabrina was startled as Poliwrath started swinging the alarmed Mr. Mime around, before slamming Mr. Mime down on the ground harshly. "No! Mr. Mime!"
"Mimeee..." Mr. Mime trailed off, it's eyes rolled.
"Return, Mr. Mime," Sabrina said quietly. "Venomoth, go." Sabrina's Pokeball opened, and out came a purple moth-like creature.
"Venomoth, the Poison Moth Pokemon. Venomoth are nocturnal Pokemon that seldom come out in the day. Their wings are covered with dustlike scales. Everytime Venomoth flaps their wings, they release highly toxic dust." Evan looked at the PokeDex in a peculiar way.
"It's a Poison and Bug-type. I thought this was a Psychic Gym..." Evan looked up at Sabrina, who stroked Venomoth affectionately.
"This one is different. It's been with me since I was just a child. And anyhow, it has Psychic powers, so, it makes no difference," scoffed Sabrina. "Will you still be using Poliwrath?" When she was replied with a nod, she started giving orders. "Venomoth, Gust!"
"Veno Veno Veno Veno Veno Veno!" Venomoth cried, flapping it's wings quickly and creating a powerful gust of wind that swept Poliwrath off it's feet.
"Poliwrath, Water Pulse!" Evan yelled. Poliwrath only managed to stand up, firing Water Pulse, before it was thrown to the ground again. Seemingly a miracle, Water Pulse made it through the whirlwind and hit Venomoth, knocking it to the ground, though failing to confuse it because of it's ability, Shield Dust. The wind then suddenly died down as quickly as it had started.
"Great! Now use Dig!" Poliwrath burrowed underground, before coming up at the unsuspecting Venomoth. Unfortunately, Venomoth still managed to dodge it by flying up further into the air. "Darn!" Evan murmured.
"Venomoth, Gust again!" Poliwrath looked around, feeling the wind about to start up.
"Strength before it can finish!" Evan yelled, and Poliwrath jumped at Venomoth. However, Venomoth started flapping it's wings faster, creating a strong breeze of wind that knocked Poliwrath back onto the ground.
"Now, Psybeam!" Still flapping it's wings, Venomoth emitted it's Psybeam. This hit Poliwrath straight in the middle.
"Poli!" Poliwrath was knocked further back. The wind died down again revealing a fainted Poliwrath. Evan sighed, and recalled it.
"Looks like Hitmonchan is your only choice," Sabrina said. Evan, though, had a confident smile as he released Hitmonchan.
"Yeah, and I'm sure that Hitmonchan will win! Right, Hitmonchan?" Evan looked at his Pokemon, who punched the air.
"Hitmonchaaaaannn!" Hitmonchan cried, which Evan guessed was it's way of saying 'hell yeah, we're gonna defeat them all!'.
"Supersonic!" Sabrina ordered.
"ThunderPunch!" Evan said quickly, and Hitmonchan jumped up at Venomoth and gave it ThunderPunch before Venomoth could use Supersonic. Venomoth was sent flying back as it's wings crackled with unwanted electricity.
"Sky Uppercut!" Hitmonchan leaped for Venomoth again. It's fist glowed, leaving a trail of blue behind it, before giving Venomoth a strong uppercut that it was unable to dodge. Venomoth was sent spiraling up, before hitting the ceiling and then hitting the floor again.
"Venomoth!" Sabrina was utterly shocked. But she soon calmed down, and recalled Venomoth. "Venomoth was the second Pokemon I had, and the first Pokemon I ever caught. It takes a powerful challenger to beat it," Sabrina said quietly. "You are, as my visions tell me, a very powerful Trainer. But are you sure that's enough power... to take on the first Pokemon I ever had...?" Sabrina threw out a Great Ball. "Alakazam, attack!"
"Hitmonchan, give it your all!" Evan yelled, and Hitmonchan nodded. "Sky Uppercut, again!"
"Psychic!" Alakazam held up one of it's hands, and sent a blue beam at Hitmonchan who was sailing through the air. Upon being hit, Hitmonchan could only feel sheer agony coursing through it's body as Alakazam started to control it's movements.
"No! Hitmonchan!" Evan watched in horror as Alakazam slammed Hitmonchan whole onto the ground, before levitating back up in the air and slamming it down onto the ground again. This action was repeated a few times, before Alakazam finally released it's foe. Hitmonchan shut it's eyes tight, but it got up again.
"It... It can still fight?" Sabrina gasped. No one had ever withstood Alakazam's Psychic attack.
"That's the spirit, Hitmonchan!" Evan said. "Ice Punch, give it your all!" Hitmonchan shrieked out a battle cry as it flew towards Alakazam. Time seemed to stop for a few seconds before Hitmonchan's freezing fist connected with Alakazam's face, knocking it down. The next second, it's whole body started to freeze up.
"Yes! Alakazam's frozen!" Evan grinned.
"So it might seem..." Sabrina smiled. "Take a good look at your own Hitmonchan."
"Yeah, I know!" Evan returned Sabrina's smile with a cunning grin of his own as his eyes shifted to his own Hitmonchan, who was now starting to freeze as well.
"What do you mean you know?" Sabrina asked cautiously.
"Alakazam has the Synchronize ability! Whatever status ailment it possesses, the foe will get inflicted with the same ailment as well!" Evan grinned. "After asking around a little in Saffron City, I found out that your ace Pokemon was Alakazam, and I spent the whole night yesterday checking up on it!"
"I see. So you've done your homework," Sabrina and Evan focused their gaze on each other. "So? What are you going to do?"
"This!" Evan grinned. "Fire Punch!" Hitmonchan's fist inside the ice started burning. Due to the raging fire, Hitmonchan was able to punch it's way out of the ice, while Alakazam remained frozen. Sabrina remained silent, but Evan could detect that she was a little alarmed.
"Let's defrost it with Fire Punch!" Evan smiled, and Hitmonchan's fist burned again, before Hitmonchan thrust it at the frozen Alakazam and breaking it out of the ice, but also adding damage to the attack. Alakazam was thrown back.
"Ala..." Alakazam groaned weakly. One more hit'll do it, Evan grinned.
"I know what you're thinking..." Sabrina smiled. "You think Alakazam will go down in one more hit, right? Well, your Hitmonchan too. Look at it. Don't you think one more hit will knock it out as well?" Evan turned to Hitmonchan and gritted his teeth. Then he grinned.
"So it all comes down to luck, huh?" Evan clenched his fists. "Hitmonchan, Sky Uppercut!" Hitmonchan, panting wildly, leaped at Alakazam.
"Psychic!" Alakazam's beam came flying.
"Dodge it!" Evan screamed. Hitmonchan had to dodge it. Swiftly, Hitmonchan turned it's body in mid-air, avoiding Psychic by a hair's breadth, before blowing Alakazam up into the air with it's Sky Uppercut. Alakazam suffered the same fate as Venomoth earlier, it slammed into the ceiling, before falling down onto the ground again, creating a little dent.
"Kaaazaam!" Alakazam cried, before it's eyes rolled up as well, no longer able to battle.
"Am-Amazing..." Sabrina recalled Alakazam. She then walked over to Evan, or glided, Evan couldn't tell. Sabrina then pressed a polished, circular badge into Evan's hands. "This is the Marsh Badge. You deserved it."
"Thanks, Sabrina!" Evan looked at the shining badge. He then turned where Hitmonchan was standing. "Good work, Hitmonchan! Kiyo will be very proud!"
"Monchaaan!" Hitmonchan agreed, punching the air repeatedly.
"Kiyo... Maybe I'll go have a rematch with him sometime," Sabrina smiled. "Oh, and I want you to have this TM," Sabrina took out a purplish disc and passed it to Evan, who kept in his bag. "That's the TM for Calm Mind. It boosts the power of attacks like Confusion and Psychic. Oh, let's register each other's Pokegear numbers."
"Alright, Sabrina, I'll be seeing you around!" After praising Hitmonchan one more time, Evan recalled his Pokemon. "Yeah! Time to earn my seventh badge!"
What an interesting Trainer, Sabrina thought as Evan disappeared through the teleporter. I'll look forward to meeting him again.
Alright! So Evan has earned six badges! Just two more badges, and then the Indigo League is coming up! Hell yeah! Boo yeah! Cheer with me! Oh yeah! Ooh... I'm hungry, time to have dinner xDDDD
