Patrick and Meagan have beaten Troy, and it was now Katie's turn. She made her way to the arena and witnessed the crowd and the gym leader himself. Katie was very nervous for the upcoming battle.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, we are about to bring out Troy's next competitor, Katie Puente!" the announcer yelled out. "Welcome, I am Troy! I'm the leader of the Rock Gym. If you want to enter the Pokemon Grand Prix, you have to beat me!" Troy yelled out.
"The next battle takes place, Katie Puente of Homewood verses Troy, the leader of the Rock Gym." the announcer said. The referee came up to Katie and told her the rules bringing out the wheel. "You will spin this wheel. If it lands on a two then you will both use two Pokemon, if it lands on a three then you will both use three Pokemon, and if it lands on the 2 with a multiplcation sign before it you will battle in a double battle." the referee explained.
Katie spun the wheel very hard, the wheel landed on three meaning it was going to be three Pokemon for each of them. "The wheel has landed on the three, you will face Troy using three Pokemon." the referee explained. "So the gym battle will be three Pokemon for the trainer and Troy." said the announcer.
Katie and Troy took seperate sides.. "Welcome to the Rock Gym, in this corner we have our gym leader Troy! On the other side is the challenger Katie Puente. If the challenger beats the gym leader, she will be awarded the Rock Token. Each trainer may use three Pokemon, last one standing is the winner. Let the battle begin!" the referee anounced to everyone.
Troy was ready to send out his first Pokemon. "Go Graveler!" Troy yelled out. His Graveler came out ready to battle. "Alright then, go." Katie was interupted by her Slakoth hugging her from behind. "Slakoth, go away!" Katie pouted. "The challenger has decided to use Slakoth." said the announcer.
Katie had no choice but to have Slakoth battle against Graveler. Slakoth didn't have a good advantage against the gym leader Troy and his Rock Pokemon. Katie just had to find a way to overcome those difficulties with Slakoth for the time being.
"Graveler, use Tackle!" Troy yelled out. "Okay Slakoth, use Crush Claw!" Katie yelled out to her Slakoth. Graveler was going to use Tackle while Slakoth used Crush Claw. The two attacks met as both seemed evenley matched. Slakoth's attack managed to toughen out and hit Graveler surprisingly dealt good damage.
"Yes Slakoth! Now use Faint Attack!" Katie yelled out. Slakoth fired away with Faint Attack on Graveler that also did some good damage. "Okay now, Graveler. Stone Edge!" Troy yelled out. Graveler bashed Slakoth with Stone Edge and Slakoth was hit badly. "Slakoth, hang in there. Use Slack Off!" Katie commanded to its Slakoth. Slakoth began to recover from the attack as it was back on its feet.
"What the! How!" Troy yelled out. "Slack Off can help Slakoth recover from some damage it took if its still got some kick inside." Katie explained. Katie was feeling very confident with Slakoth, though her Pokemon annoys her a lot, she seems like she was in control of the battle with it. "Slakoth, Faint Attack!" Katie shouted. Slakoth struck again with Faint Attack and Graveler was hit sending it to the ground.
"Graveler is unable to battle, the winner is Slakoth!" the referee shouted.
Katie's Slakoth came in good use in a surprising way, but one question still was on her mind. Could it be enough to beat Troy? "Slakoth got the upper hand on Graveler. What about the other two Pokemon?" the announcer questioned.
The crowd was going crazy as the very interesting Pokemon Battle continued. "Okay now, round two! GO ONIX!" Troy exclaimed. Troy used his Onix once again. Patrick and Meagan were able to beat it, Katie wondered if she could do it too.
"Okay Slakoth, lets keep going. Crush Claw!" Katie yelled out. Slakoth used Crush Claw on Onix, but then it used another attack. Slakoth unleashed a dark slash onto Onix that gave it devastating damage. "Huh, what was that?" Katie asked herself.
"Katie, I didn't know your Slakoth knew Night Slash." Troy said. "Night Slash?" she questioned. Katie was happy that Slakoth knew a new move, but she had to get her focus back onto the battle. "Slakoth, Night Slash!" Katie commanded. "Onix, Smack Down!" Troy commanded. Slakoth and Onix both collided with their attacks as they both hit the ground. Neither one could continue.
"Slakoth and Onix are both unable to battle!" the referee yelled out.
"In a turn of events, Slakoth defeats Onix with Night Slash, but Onix defeats Slakoth with Smack Down. Does this get any better!" the announcer shouted. Both Katie and Troy brought back their Pokemon and thanked them for their hard work.
"Okay Katie, time for the final round." Troy said. "I got the upper hand." Katie said, "I think." Katie was worried that her newly hatched Pichu might be forced to battle against Troy's final Pokemon.
"GO NOSEPASS!" cried out Troy. Troy's Nosepass came out well and ready. Katie still had two Pokemon, but she's hoping Piplup can finish it now. "GO PIPLUP!" Katie yelled out. Piplup came out of the Pokeball ready for battle.
"It's going to be Nosepass against Piplup. It seems maybe Katie has got this one wrapped up." the announcer said. "Nosepass, Rock Throw!" Troy yelled out. Nosepass was ready to hit Piplup with Rock Throw. "Dodge and use Bubble!" Katie shouted to her Piplup. Piplup struck Nosepass with Bubble getting out of the way of Nosepass's attack.
"Nosepass, use Power Gem!" Troy shouted. Nosepass struck Piplup with Power Gem sending it down to the ground, but Piplup was still standing. "Piplup, use Aqua Ring!" Katie commanded. Piplup used Aqua Ring to heal away the damage from Power Gem. "Now use Water Sport!" Katie yelled out. Piplup used Water Sport on Nosepass giving it some damage.
"Bubble!" Katie replied to Piplup. Piplup struck Nosepass with Bubble taking a little more damage. "Say goodnight! NOSEPASS, ZAP CANNON!" Troy screamed. Nosepass charged and fired Zap Cannon at Piplup, the water Pokemon was getting zapped like crazy. Piplup was defeated. "No. Piplup no." Katie sadly said.
"Piplup is unable to battle, the winner is Nosepass!" the referee shouted.
"Wow, it looked like Piplup would've beaten Nosepass, but Piplup was a water type and was victim of Zap Cannon. She is now down to her last Pokemon." the announcer said.
"I didn't want to do this. I'm sorry, I'm very sorry. We haven't done anything together, but forgive me. I have no choice. GO PICHU!" Katie cried out with a few tears. Pichu came out really scared having to face Nosepass. "That's it, a Pichu!" Troy exclaimed.
Katie was stuck, Nosepass had the upper hand completely. "What does Pichu know?" Katie questioned herself. She looked at Pichu's attack with the Pokemon Scanner. "Pichu, Doubleslap!" Katie yelled out. Pichu gave its heart out using Doubleslap, but nothing was happening. "Heh, Nosepass, use Power Gem!" Troy commanded to his Nosepass. Nosepass fired away at Pichu with Power Gem, Pichu just ran for its life.
"Run Pichu, I'll try to think of something!" Katie cried. "This is easy now, Nosepass keep using Stone Edge!" Troy commanded. Nosepass was repeatedly using Stone Edge, all Katie's Pichu could do was stay on its feet. "Pichu, try Thundershock!" Katie yelled out. Pichu used Thundershock on Nosepass, but no effect at all.
Nosepass was looking at Pichu, Pichu was looking scared. "Pichu." Katie said. Pichu saw Katie's eyes ready to tear up, it wasn't going to run anymore.
"Nosepass, use Zap Cannon!" Troy yelled out to its Nosepass. Pichu shined with glory, it was not going to let Katie down. "Pichu, what are you doing?" Katie asked. What was Pichu doing, evolving. The Pichu wasn't a baby anymore, it was now a fully grown Pikachu. Pikachu dodged Zap Cannon quickly.
"Oh my gosh! This may be a turn around. Katie's Pichu has evolved into Pikachu. This is stunning turn of events here!" the announcer shouted.
"IT'S A PIKACHU!" Katie shouted with joy. Katie checked it out with the Pokemon Scanner, it was a Pikachu alright. Pikachu was standing by Katie's side, not giving up. "Pikachu, Thundershock!" Katie yelled out. Pikachu struck Nosepass with Thundershock, Nosepass was shocked to oblivion.
"Now, use Quick Attack!" Katie shouted. Pikachu used Quick Attack on Nosepass on Nosepass, and Nosepass was struck big time. Game over, Nosepass was down and out cold.
"Nosepass is unable to battle, the winner is Pikachu. The winner of this offical Pokemon Gym battle is Katie Puente of Homewood." the referee announced.
"It's over, Pichu came through in the clutch by evolving into Pikachu. And in the end, Pikachu came out the victor." the announcer said. Troy walked up to Katie to congratulate her on her impressive victory. "You did well Katie, Pikachu did a great job for you." Troy said. "Thanks, and thank you Pikachu." Katie said hugging her Pikachu hard.
The crowd cheered as the spotlight came on her and Troy. "Katie Puente, it is my pleasure to present you, the Rock Token." Troy said. Katie took the Rock Token and jumped in joy for winning her first gym Token.
After Katie won her Rock Token, she found Patrick and Meagan waiting outside ready to congratulate her. "Patrick, Meagan! Look what I got!" Katie exclaimed. "I'm so proud of you my little sister." Meagan said happily. "And we saw that Pichu evolved into Pikachu." Patrick said.
Patrick and Meagan then smirked at each other, and Katie knew what was coming. "No, noooo." Katie said in fear. Meagan and Patrick both hugged her very hard, thus sandwich hugging her. "Whhhhhhhyyyyyyyy!" Katie screamed.
