Our heroes finally made it to Ecruteak City and were in the middle of their gym battle. Henry was up first and he managed to beat Mara's first Pokemon, Duskull, with Aerodactyl. He switched out Aerodactyl for another Pokemon and Mara sent out her next Pokemon! Lets see who they chose.
With a flash out came Krokorok. "Kroko~!"
With a flash out came a dark gray, doll-like Pokémon. It has three short spikes on its head and a long zigzagging ribbon trailing off the back of its head. A zipper acts as its mouth, and it has purplish-pink eyes with slit pupils. Its long, flat arms have three-fingered hands, while its legs are short and stubby. It has a yellow, brush-like tail.
"A Banette huh? Well I guess that's cool..." Gilbert rubbed his chin in thought.
Alfred's teeth were chattering. "Th-the Ma-Marionette Po-Pokemon?! Oh come on!" With a flash Charmander came out and looked up at Alfred with his head tilted to the side, a bit worried about his friend.
Krokorok flexed and snapped his jaw. "Krokorok~!"
Henry laughs and sets his hands on his hips. "Alright Krokorok! Lets do this! I know we can win this!" He laughs and poses, and both Totodile and Krokorok copy the same pose.
Mara sweatdropped a bit. This trainer sure was a strange one...and it showed in his Pokemon.
"You think Henry has a chance with Krokorok?" Gilbert tilted his head and crossed his arms.
Ludwig rubbed his chin. "I believe he does...Krokorok is part dark and ghost type moves don't have that much affect on him, so he does have a chance."
"Now use Crunch!" Krokorok lunged forward, teeth glowing white as he opened his mouth.
"Dodge then use Icy Wind!" Mara called out with her calm and cool composure.
Banette jumped up, then jumped on and off Krokorok's head, using him like a launching board. He landed behind him. "Banette~!" He cried out. He spreads his arms and releases a strong wind with sparkling blue snow.
Henry blinks a few times. "I didn't know it could learn Icy Wind!"
Krokorok was surprised as well and cried out as he was hit with the attack. He shivered and hugged himself, trying to stay warm. "Kro-Kroko!"
"Come on Krokorok! Use Shadow Ball! Come on!" Krokorok slowly opened his mouth and formed a shadowy ball of energy before releasing it and hitting Banette dead on, making him cry out.
Henry jumped up and laughed. "YEAH! That's the spirit!"
"It's far from over Henry. Try not to get to over excited. Banette, Will-O-Wisp! Now!" Out of the smoke cloud balls of blue flames came out at Krokorok and hit him, making him grit his teeth a bit.
"Oh no! If I'm right Will-O-Wisp causes a burn!" Henry waves his arms around and so does Totodile.
Mara nodded and crosses her arms. "Indeed, you are correct. Your Pokemon is now burned."
Krokorok grit his teeth as he started to glow red. "Kro-krok..."
"Hang tight Krokorok! I know you can make it through this! Use Dig!" Krokorok dug into the ground.
Mara scanned the area, looking over the battleground with a calculating eye. "Banette, behind you! Use Shadow Ball!"
"Wait what?! How could she know that! He didn't even come up yet!" Gilbert stood up in disbelief.
Ludwig crossed his arms and rubbed his chin. "She is very skilled, I will say that..."
"Banette!" The Pokemon formed a black ball of energy between his hands as he spins around. Krokorok came up just a second later and was struck by the attack, making him cry out and fall back, sliding against the ground.
Henry grit his teeth. "Come on...I'm not going to win like this..."
Krokorok sat up but stopped when he started to glow red, being hurt by his burn. He panted as he stood up.
"Krokorok! Use Stone Edge! I know you can win this!" Krokorok nodded and let out a cry, soon sharp grey rocks were orbiting around him. He released them at Banette.
"Use Psychic to turn them back around!" Banette is outlined in a light blue aura then raised his hands. The sharp grey rocks were outlined in the same energy then stopped. They turned around and struck Krokorok.
"Kroook!" He cried out and hit the ground with swirly eyes. "Kroooko..."
"Krokorok is unable to battle! The winner is Banette!" The red called out.
"That is a really strong Pokemon she has there..." Gilbert sighed a bit.
Alfred was shaking a bit. "Ye-yeah...str-strong..."
Banette was currently juggling a few Will-O-Wisp fire balls and laughing.
Mara held her hands behind her back, her stoic expression not changing one bit. "Send out your next Pokemon."
Henry groans and had to think. "I am! I am! Just...trying to think who I should send out next..."
Mara raised a brow. "Did you not think about this before hand? No strategy laid out? Are you an idiot? Or were you just not prepared?"
Henry crossed his arms. "Hey! Of course I was prepared! Sure I may not be the type to think about strategy and type advantages and junk, but I believe everyone of my Pokemon is strong and can beat any opponent if they want to! So just you watch!" He grins. "You're about to be beat by an idiot! Aerodactyl come back out buddy!" He laughs and throws his Pokeball.
With a flash out came Aerodactyl. "AEERRRROOOO!" He let out a mighty cry.
"I admit sir Henry, you are one of the most determined trainers I've ever met, but a battle is much more than confidence! So lets see what you've got! Banette, prepare yourself!"
Banette grins and nods, getting in his battle stance.
"Wait why him? He's probably still tired from his first battle." Gilbert tilted his head.
"I've learned there's always a method to Henry's madness. best to just sit back and watch what he has up his sleeve." Ludwig smiled a bit. He had confidence Henry could win this.
Gilbert looked at him and sniffled. "Awh you have such confidence in your friend! You're growing up West!" He hugs his brother around the neck making him yell slightly and groan.
"GO Henry!" Alfred whistles and cheers for him. "Beat that ghost!"
"Go Aerodactyl! Flamethrower now!" His Pokemon opened his mouth, releasing a stream of fire at Banette.
"Get out of the way! Then use Icy Wing!" Banette jumped out of the way of the flames and spread out his arms, releasing a strong wind with glowing blue snow.
"Get out of the way! Rock Slide! Lets go!" Aerodactyl flew up and spread his wings, white rings of energy appeared in the sky and soon big grey boulders started to fall from them.
The gym leader clenched her jaw. "Banette! Get out of the way!" She called out.
Banette looked up and managed to dodge a few but was struck down by one and cried out. "Baaaa!" He shakily sat up as the boulders disappeared.
Henry laughs. "Didn't see that one coming huh? Now Aerodactyl! Time to finish this off! Iron Head! Full Power!" Henry's eyes narrowed a determined look in them.
Aerodactyl shared the same look as he was surrounded in a white aura that made him look black and white. He dive bombed straight for Banette, top speed. He slammed into him as hard as he could, causing a crater and dirt to fill the air.
Everyone coughed and waited for it to clear. Once the air cleared, Aerodactyl was standing in front of Henry. Banette was in the ground with swirly eyes.
"Banette is unable to battle! The winner is Aerodactyl!" The ref called out.
Alfred jumped up and cheered. "YEAH! GO HENRY! WAY TO GO! WOOOO!" He laughs and jumps up and down.
"Alfred, you realize he still has one more to go right?" Gilbert looked at him, sweatdropping and chuckling lightly.
Henry laughs and gave a thumbs up. "That's my Aerodactyl! He's lean, mean, and powerful~" He winks. "He didn't listen to me at first, but I gained his trust! Love ya buddy! You're two for two today! Think you can hang in for one more battle?"
Aerodactyl spread his wings, as if he had to ask, then took off into the air, ready for the next opponent.
"Banette, return. You were strong out there, thank you. Don't get to confident. Your Aerodactyl is strong, I will give you that, but he has been in two battles, meaning he has lost of energy as well as taken on a lot of damage. Now. Time to face my last Pokemon. Gengar! It's your turn!" She tossed her Pokeball into the air.
With a flash out came a dark purple Pokémon with a roundish body. It has red eyes and a wide mouth that is curled into a sinister grin. Multiple spikes cover its back, and it has large pointed ears. Its arms and legs are short with three digits on both its hands and feet. It also has a stubby tail.
Alfred rubbed his chin. "A Gengar huh? Oh man thank goodness, it's part poison." He laughs and takes a breath of fresh air.
"It's amazing how being part something else really calms him down when around Ghost types." Gilbert scratched his head.
Ludwig sighs a bit. "Well at least he isn't shaking and acting all scared."
Henry took out his Pokedex. "A Gengar, huh?" Gengar, the Shadow Pokémon. Gengar is the final evolved form of Gastly. It can absorb any surrounding heat, leaving a sudden chill.
Gilbert shivered a bit. "I thought it got a bit colder in here..."
"Alright! We can take him! Last Pokemon! Lets go Aerodactyl! Flamethrower! Lets go!" Aerodactyl opened his mouth and released a stream of fire.
"Shadow Ball! Now!" Gengar formed a black ball of energy between his hands and fired it at the fire, causing it to go out in all directions. Aerodactyl was hit and fell back, hitting the ground.
He sat up and panted a bit before getting up. "Aerrr..."
"Come on! Use Crunch!" Aerodactyl opened his mouth, fangs glowing white. He flew at the opposing Pokemon.
"Ice Punch!" Gengar pulls back his fist that glows light blue and then a light blue energy swirls around it. Once Aerodactyl came close, he jumped up and punched him on the head, causing ice to form and freeze over his entire head.
Aerodactyl came down on the ground and slid a bit. He lifted up his head and shook it around.
Henry shakes his head. "Oh no! Come on Aerodactyl! Break out of it!" He waved his arms around and so did Totodile.
Aerodactyl slammed his head on the ground, breaking out of the ice. He shook his head.
"Gengar, use Hypnosis!" Gengar's eyes glow red and Aerodactyl is outlined in red. He soon starts to feel drowsy and falls asleep, falling to the ground.
"Wait! No! Aerodactyl get up! Come on!" He waved his arms around. "Wake up! Now! Come on!"
"This isn't good...if Aerodactyl doesn't wake up soon he's gonna be in serious trouble..." Alfred rubbed his head. "If I'm correct this gym leader has a plan..."
Gilbert looked at him a bit confused. "Huh?"
"Just watch. I think I know her next move." Alfred crossed his arms.
"Now Gengar! Lets finish this with Dream Eater!"
The four trainers all gasp as they hear that attack. "Oh no..." Henry lifted up his sunglasses. "Get up! Aerodactyl! WAKE UP!"
"Gengar!" The Pokemon released a shadow like version of himself at the sleeping Pokemon. The shadow goes right through Aerodactyl, causing him to jump awake. Then he fell over with swirly eyes.
"Aerodactyl is unable to battle! The winner is Gengar!" The ref called out.
Henry rubbed his head. "Thanks Aerodatyl...you were great out there. Return!" He returned his Pokemon. He looked down at Totodile who lifted down his sunglasses and waved his arms around. Henry chuckles and nodded. "You wanna go, huh? Well then, alright! You're up Totodile!"
"Toto!" He gave Henry his sunglasses before going out and looking determined.
"A Totodile...interesting choice...Gengar! Use Shadow Ball!" Gengar formed a ball of energy between his hands before firing it.
"Alright Totodile! Counter that with Aqua Jet!" Totodile was surrounded in water and launched himself at like a jet at the Shadow Ball, breaking through it and ramming into Gengar. The Pokemon cried out and was thrown back, sliding against the ground. Totodile landed on the ground and jumped up and down, waving his arms around.
"That's right Totodile! Show him who's boss!" Henry laughs and adjusts the sunglasses back over his eyes.
"Don't to overly excited. This battle has just begun." Mara narrowed her eyes a bit.
Henry chuckles and grins. "Oh I know! We're just getting started! Last Pokemon for each of us, we're not holding back! Lets go Totodile! FULL POWER CRUNCH! GO!"
Totodile and nodded and he lunged at Gengar, mouth open, teeth glowing.
"Counter with Energy Ball! Now!" Gengar formed a light green ball of energy between his hands and fires it at Totodile hitting him dead on.
Totodile cried out and landed on the ground, wincing slightly. "Toto...totodile!" He jumped up and shook his head. He ran forward and opened his mouth, teeth glowing and biting down on Gengar's arm, hard.
"Geng!" The Pokemon cried out, taking a step back.
Mara was a bit surprised and blinked a few times. "What? He went through with the attack after being hit by a super effective one?"
Henry laughs. "Oh yeah! He's stubborn! Just like me! Good job Totodile! Now Water Gun!" Totodile let go of his arm and released a spiraling stream of water in Gengar's face, making him slide back a bit.
"Tototototo!" He pointed and laughed at the Pokemon.
Gengar shook his head and frowned. He didn't look all to pleased with being laughed at like that.
Henry chuckles and crosses his arms. "Like you said, this battle is far from over."
With tensions running high between both Pokemon and trainers, they battle for Henry's fourth Gym Badge was just getting intense! With both sides down to their last Pokemon, it was anyone's game! Who will win? Will Henry get his Fourth Gym Badge? Find out next time to see!
