When our heroes arrived in Mossdeep City it was a double battle between Lisa and Tate and Ash and Ross. It was a hard battle, but Ross and Ash worked together. Now it's Davis's turn, but can he win when he's facing two gym leaders and when he has to use two pokemon at the same time.

Pokémon

No time to question my moves

I stick to the path that I choose

Me and my friends are gonna do it right

You'll never see us run away from a fight

To be a master is my dream

All I have to is believe

I believe

I got a chance to win

I'm on my way to victory

I can be a champion if just believe

I'm on a master quest, master quest

I want the whole world to see I believe

I'm gonna be the very best

Cause all I have to do is believe in me

Pokémon

(Davis's voice) Psychic To Psychic, Dark To Dark

Davis was faced against Lisa and Tate at the gym ready for their gym battle.

"Davis are you ready?" Lisa said.

"Our gym battle will be different from the battle between Ross and Ash since you have to use two pokemon at the same time." Tate said.

"That doesn't bother me. I'll challenge you two anyway you want." Davis said.

"The gym battle between Lisa and Tate the gym leaders and Davis the challenger will now begin." The referee said. "Each side will use two pokemon at the same time and no substitution, the battle will be over when both pokemon are unable to battle. Begin!"

"Lunatone go!" Lisa said.

"Solrock go!" Tate said.

"Lun!"

"Solrock!"

"Absol and Houndoom let's go." Davis said.

"Houn!"

"Sol!"

"That's a smart move, dark types aren't affected by psychic types." Ross said.

"So he has two dark types." Lisa said.

"Just because he has the type advantage doesn't mean he'll win, it's how those two work together." Tate said.

"We'll win this in one shot for each. Houndoom use Shadow Ball." Davis said.

"Solrock counter with your Shadow Ball." Tate said.

"Houndoom!"

"Solrock!" Both launched the dark orbs and they collided.

"Since Psychic types don't affect dark types Lunton use Ice Beam." Lisa said.

"Houndoom Flamethrower." Davis said and Houndoom launched the flames and blocked it. "Now Absol use Night Slash." Davis said.

"Absol!" Absol jumped in, but both Solrock and Lunatone levitate out of the way.

"Houndoom try and use Flamethrower." Davis said. Houndoom launched it, but Absol got hit as well.

"Absol!"

"Absol!" Davis said.

"That's not good." Exveemon said.

"Uh oh, that's never good." Ash said.

"Absol Absol!"

"Houn Houndoom!"

"Hey you guys calm down." Davis said.

"Absol thinks Houndoom did that on purpose." Exveemon said.

"Okay Absol try Night Slash again." Davis said. Absol tried to attack, but they moved out of the way. "Houndoom, Absol use Iron Tail." Both went in, but they ended up crashing into each other.

"Allow us to show you how it's done." Tate said. "Solrock Sandstorm."

"Lunatone Rock Blast." Lisa said.

"Solrock!"

"Lun!" Both attacks combined with the rocks spinning in a twister and both Absol and Houndoom got hit.

"Absol!"

"Houndoom!"

"They think the other is getting in the way." Exveemon said.

"Absol and Houndoom can't seem to work together." Kari said.

"They better or Davis is going to lose." May said.

"Look I can't do everything, you two need to learn how to communicate." Davis said.

"Easy for you to say, this is your first double battle." Exveemon said.

"Houndoom you keep moving, Absol use Double Team." Davis said. Absol made copies and Houndoom was running around. "Now Absol get ready to use Razor Wind."

"I don't think so. Solrock use Sandstorm again." Tate said and Solrock blew away the copies and the real Absol causing Houndoom to stop to look back.

"Lunatone use Ice Beam." Lisa said and Houndoom got hit.

"Houn Houndoom!"

"Absol Absol!"

"Those two won't stop arguing." Ash said.

"Those two got to get their act together. If they don't find a way to get in sync then they'll lose, and Lisa and Tate won't have to do much of anything" Ross said.

""Absol, Houndoom double Iron Tail." Davis said and they both ran in.

"Lunatone use Light Screen." Lisa said.

"Lun!" Lunatone created the screen and blocked against both attacks.

"Come on you guys keep trying until you break free." Davis said. Absol and Houndoom kept using Iron Tail, but Lunatone kept blocking it with Light Screen

"Houn Houndoom Houndoom!"

"Ab Absol Absol!"

"Can't you two stop arguing?" Davis said.

"Houn, Houndoom!"

"Oh man Houndoom's saying he's going to battle on his own." Exveemon said and Houndoom ran right in.

"That's reckless." Ross said.

"Houndoom can't take on both Solrock and Lunatone by himself." Ash said.

"Houndoom you need to work with Absol." Kari said.

"It's no use Houndoom is like a lone wolf." Nefertimon said.

"Absol you and Houndoom need to work with Houndoom. I know we haven't known each other long, but I know enough you're better than this." Davis said.

"That's going to be Houndoom's down fall." Lisa said.

"I'll finish this. Solrock use Shadow Ball." Tate said.

"Solrock!" Solrock launched the Shadow Ball and Houndoom slid next to Absol.

"Houndoom!" Davis said.

"Houndoom come on get up." Exveemon said.

"Let's finish this." Lisa said. "Lunatone use Ice Beam."

"Solrock Solar Beam." Tate said.

"Both of you aim for Houndoom." Lisa said. Lunatone and Solrock prepared their attacks.

"Houndoom you got to get up fast." Davis said, but Houndoom was having trouble. Both attacks were launched and Houndoom wouldn't be able to get away. "Houndoom!" Everyone was worried, but then Absol jumped in and took the attacks. "Absol!" Everyone was shocked. "Absol are you okay?"

"Absol." Absol struggled to get up.

"Houndoom?"

"Why did Absol do that?" Exveemon translate.

"Houndoom Absol knows you two need each other to win. Absol took that attack to protect you since you were down." Davis said. Houndoom and Absol took a long look at each other.

"As great as that was we need to finish this, Lunatone Rock Blast." Lisa said and Lunatone launched the rocks. Houndoom got between Absol and the attack.

"Houndoom! Okay use Iron Tail." Davis said and Houndoom used its tail to block the attack. "Okay are you two going to work together or not?"

"Houn!"

"Sol!"

"They are." Exveemon said.

"Sorry Davis, but we're ending this." Tate said.

"Got to find them first, Absol grab Houndoom and use Double Team." Davis said. Abols put its paw on Houndoom and made copies of both of them.

"That's easy to beat, Solrock use Sandstorm." Tate said. Solrock created the storm and the copies were gone leaving the originals.

"Lunatone Rock Blast." Lisa said. Lunatone launched the rocks, bout Houndoom pushed Absol out of the way.

"Way to go Houndoom now use Smokescreen." Davis said and Houndoom created smoke all over the field, but Solrock and Lunatone levitated up above it. "Absol use Night Slash and Houndoom use Iron Tail." Both jumped from the smoke and struck both Solrock and Lunatone and went back in the smoke.

"Solrock Solar Beam." Tate said.

"Lunatone Ice Beam." Lisa said. The attacks were launched, but missed. "Where are they?"

"Now Houndoom!" Davis said and Houndoom jumped behind them.

"Behind you guys!" Lisa said and they saw him.

"Houndoom Double Shadow Ball. Absol Razor Wind." Davis said. Houndoom launched two dark orbs and Absol launched the wind from the ground and both attacks hit and knocked them down.

"Lunatone and Solrock are unable to battle, Absol and Houndoom are the winners, victory goes to Davis the challenger." The referee said.

"Oh yeah!" Davis said.

"He won!" May said.

"Way to go Davis." Ash said.

"Absol Houndoom give me a hug." Davis said as he hugged his pokemon. Then he was being awarded his badge.

"You had a rough start Davis." Tate said.

"But you won, so here's the Mind Badge." Lisa said.

"Thanks you two. I got the Mind Badge, number 7." Davis said.

"We rule!" Exveemon said.

"Houn/Sol!"

"There were times I was nervous, but you did it." Kari said.

"All you need is one more badge." Ross said.

"You're right I'm just one badge away from the Hoenn League." Davis said

Davis won the Mind Badge and now all he needs is one more badge to enter the Hoenn league as our hero's journey continues.
