Heeey everyone! Yes this chapter is gonna be a bit on the long side, but I'm sure you all don't mind, right? Now lets go!

Ludwig took a deep breath and nodded. "Alright Houndoom! I'm counting on you! We can win this if we work together! Are you ready!"

Houndoom howled, his tail lashing side to side. He growled and dug his paws into the ground. "Doooom..." He growled softly.

"No time for jokes Gengar. This is serious. Get ready for a tough battle ahead." Mara crossed her arms.

"Gengengengengen~!" He laughs and crosses his arms. "Gengar!" He throws up his arms and laughs.

"Flamethrower! Lets go!" Houndoom opens his mouth and releases a stream of fire.

"Counter with Dark Pulse!" Gengar released a beam of purple circles from his purple orb of energy.

The attacks collided and pushed against each other before causing an explosion. Both Pokemon were undeterred after the smoke cleared.

Ludwig nodded. "Now! Smokescreen!" Houndoom opened his mouth, letting out a thick black cloud of smoke.

Gengar coughed and looked around. "Geng?" He blinked a few times.

"Shadow Ball!" Houndoom jumped up behind him, opening his mouth and firing a black ball of energy at Gengar's back, making him cry out and stumble forward.

"Gengar! Use Night Shade!" Gengar's eyes glowed before firing a black beam of energy from his eyes at Houndoom.

Houndoom's eyes went wide as he was hit and knocked out of the sky. he fell back but landed on his head. He growled as he stood up and shook his head. "Doooom..." He growled.

"That's right Houndoom! Now! Dark Pulse!" Houndoom formed a purple ball of energy in his mouth when he opened it and fired a beam of purple circles at him.

"Counter with your own Dark Pulse!" Gengar did the same thing and both beams collided.

"Wow...those are some strong attacks." Henry stated.

Gilbert stood up and whistled. "You can do it! I believe in you West! Go go go!" He waved his arms around and laughed.

Alfred whistled and nodded. "You go Ludwig!" He laughs and cheers.

Both attacks pushed against each other, trying to overpower one another. Both were strong and not giving in.

"Houndoom! Shadow Ball!"

"Gengar! Shadow Ball!"

Both launched a black ball of energy at each other. Both collided and caused a small explosion and a cloud of smoke to fill the battle area. Both Pokemon were not giving in and neither were their trainers.

"Houndoom latch on to him now!" Houndoom jumped out of the smoke, and bit down on Gengar's arm and growled.

Gengar's eyes went wide and he looked at Houndoom. "Geng?!"

"Swing him up! Now!" Houndoom spun around and flung Gengar up into the air. "Dark Pulse!" Houndoom formed a purple ball of energy in his mouth and fired a purple beam of circles.

"Geeengar!" He cried out as he was hit and was knocked out of the air and into the ground, landing on his back.

"A good strategy I must admit. Your Houndoom is very strong." Mara complimented. "Now Gengar! Shadow Ball!"

Gengar jumped up and threw a black ball of energy at Houndoom.

"Hound!" He cried out as he was hit, a cloud of smoke surrounding him. He was lying on the ground and stood up shakily, panting.

"Thank you. Your Gengar is very strong as well." Ludwig nodded. "Now! Flamethrower! Once more!" Houndoom released a stream of fire from his mouth at Gengar.

"Dark Pulse!" Gengar released a beam of purple circles at the flames. The attacks pushed against each other.

"Go Houndoom! You can do it!" Henry waved his arms around and laughs. "Beat that Pokemon!"

"Toto! Totodile!" Totodile cheered and waved his arms around and whistled.

"GO WEST! AND HOUNDOOM!" Gilbert whistled and laughed.

"YOU CAN DO IT! WE BELIEVE IN YOU!" Alfred cheered as well.

"Come on Houndoom! I know you can do it!" Ludwig called out to his Pokemon.

Houndoom turned up the power and pushed back the Dark Pulse, hitting Gengar. The Pokemon grit his teeth as he was enveloped in flames. He panted and fell on a knee. He glowed red and flinched as he was burned.

"Good job!" Ludwig nodded. He was hoping for that burn condition to come into play.

"Gengar, use Shadow Ball! Just because you're burned doesn't mean you still can't fight!" Gengar laughed and formed a ball of black energy between his hands and fired it at Houndoom.

"Counter with your own Shadow Ball!" Houndoom opened his mouth and released a black ball of energy. The two collided and caused an explosion.

"They're so evenly matched, I don't know who's gonna win..." Henry rubs his head.

Gilbert was bouncing in his seat a bit. "I know he can beat her! He just needs the right opening..."

Ludwig grit his teeth a bit. "I need a good attack...one small opening...to deliver a good blow..."

"Gengengengengengeng~" He laughs and flinches as he glows red, taking damage from his burn.

Ludwig's eyes went wide. "That's it...Houndoom! Shadow Ball! Now!" Houndoom opened his mouth and released a black ball of energy, hitting him dead on.

Gengar cried out and was thrown back and slid against the ground. "Gengaaaar!" He closed his eyes and panted.

"Come on Gengar! We still have a fighting chance! Shadow Ball!" Gengar threw a black and purple orb of energy.

Houndoom jumped in the air and out of the way. "Now! Flamethrower! GO!" Houndoom released a stream of fire from his mouth. The trainers eyes were focused and determined, his heart beating hard in his chest.

"Dodge! Then use Dark Pulse!" Mara looked just as determined. She hadn't felt this determined in a long time, but also she seemed to be having fun. Her heart beating hard in her chest.

Gengar jumped to the side and fired a beam of purple circles from an orb of energy he formed between his hands.

Houndoom's eyes went wide when he fell and hit the ground. "Dooom." He stood up and shook his head, growling, head low.

Gengar panted and flinched as he glowed red, being damaged by his burn. This was Ludwig's chance again. "Now! Dark Pulse!"

"Houndoom!" He cried out as he opened his mouth and formed a purple ball of energy and fired a beam of purple circles at the opposing Pokemon.

Gengar was hit and thrown back. He hit the ground and rolled a bit before slowly starting to stand. "Geeeeng..." He pants and shakes his head.

"Attacking when Gengar is taking damage from his burn. A smart move. Are you still able to battle Gengar?"

Gengar laughed and gave a thumbs up. "Gengengengengeng~"

Ludwig took a deep breath. "We need one final strong attack...we should end this. Houndoom! Shadow Ball! NOW!" Houndoom opened his mouth, forming a black ball of energy.

"You use Shadow Ball as well Gengar!" Gengar started to form his own black ball of energy between his hands.

Both Pokemon released their Shadow Ball attack. They passed each other and hit both Pokemon, creating explosions and causing a cloud of smoke to form on both ends.

Both coughed and watched as the smoke disappeared. Both Pokemon were still standing and panting. Houndoom growled and flinched as he almost fell over, but caught himself. Gengar laughed and suddenly fell over with swirly eyes.

"Gengar is unable to battle! The winner is Houndoom! Victory goes to the challenger, Ludwig!" The ref decared.

Ludwig blinked and sighed in relief. He fell on his knees and panted softly. He was really worried for awhile there. Houndoom ran up to him and tackled him back and started to lick his face. He laughs and rubs his head. "Thank you Houndoom! You were amazing out there! I couldn't have done this without you!"

"Houndoom! Doom!" He cried out happily and rubbed his head against him.

Mara returned her Gengar and walked up to Ludwig. He lightly nudged Houndoom off him and stood up, clearing his throat.

She reached into her pocket and pulled out a fog badge. "Because you have beaten me in a fair battle, I reward you with this Fog Badge. As proof of your victory in my gym." She nodded, smiling a bit at him. "You are an exceptional trainer."

Ludwig nodded and smiled a bit. "Thank you very much." He carefully took the badge and held it up. "I've received my fog badge!" Houndoom jumped up and howled.

Gilbert grinned and cackled. "Now it's my time to shine! Bring it on Mara! Prepare to face the awesome!" Gilbert cackled and grins.

Mara raised a brow and looked over at Gilbert. "So you're my next opponent...this should be interesting." She could already tell he was one of those over confident loud types...she was going to get a headache.

~Time Skip brought to you by Pokemon food!~

"This is a three on three match! Each trainer shall use three Pokemon each! Only the challenger may make substitutions! Whichever side has all three Pokemon unable to battle will be declared the loser! Let the battle begin!"

Gilbert cackled and grinned, taking out a Pokeball. "Are you ready to feel the awesomeness of my Pokemon?"

She sighed a bit, taking out a Pokeball. "Don't get to overly confident. You'll get an even bigger head."

He snorted and waved his hand. "Don't worry about me. Worry about yourself. Now! Lets get this battle started! Poochy! I choose you!" He threw his Pokeball.

"Duskull! It's time to come out and battle!" He threw her Pokeball up.

With a flash, both Pokemon were released and ready to battle. Poochy growled and crouched down. Duskull floated around, his eye floating through both sockets.

"Alright Poochy! Lets start this off with a Shadow Ball!" He grinned and cackled.

Poochy opened her mouth and fired a ball of black energy at her. "Might!"

"Use Double Team to dodge!" Duskull glows white then creates multiple copies of himself that move and surround Poochy.

Gilbert grins and crosses his arms. "That cheap trick won't work! Use Shadow Ball on all of them!" Poochy fired a Shadow Ball at all the copies but the ones surrounding her were all gone.

"Now Duskull! Charge Beam!" An orb of yellow electricity forms in front of his mouth and he fires a beam of yellow electricity from above Poochy, giving her quite the shock.

"No! Poochy!" He called out. Poochy shook her head a bit and growled. "That's right! Lets show her what we're made of! Crunch!"

"Might!" She cried out and growled, crouching down. She lunged at Duskull, teeth glowing white, mouth open.

"Feint Attack!" Duskull waved his arms around as he vanished.

Poochy missed and landed on the ground, looking around, confused. She cried out as Duskull appeared to the right of her and rammed into her. She rolled and grit her teeth before standing up. "Might!"

"Wow...she used Feint Attack as a defensive AND offensive move...she sure is talented." Henry scratched his head.

Alfred was shaking yet again, but not as violently as usual. "Ri-right...ta-talented..."

"I wouldn't say it's talent, rather than intelligence...she knew Feint Attack has the target disappear then reappear for an attack. It was a very smart move." He crossed his arms and nodded.

Henry nodded and rubbed his chin. "She is really smart...and strong...YOU CAN DO THIS GILBERT! JUST STAY STRONG AND THINK!" Henry called out.

"Toto! Totodiiiile!" He cheered and waved his arms around and jumped up and down.

Gilbert rubbed his chin. He snapped his fingers. "Okay! I got it! Use Double Team!" Mightyena glowed white and creates multiple copies of herself. "Now run around that Duskull and use Shadow Ball!" He grinned.

Alfred blinked. "H-he's u-using the sa-same strategy...h-he used o-on me du-during our ba-battle!" He blinks a few times.

Henry chuckles and grins. "See? Our Gilbert can be pretty smart too!"

Mightyena and her copies opened her mouth and started to release Shadow Balls at Duskull. He was taking serious damage from the super effective attack, not knowing which Shadow Balls were real and which were fake.

Mara raised a brow and rubbed her chin. "Smart idea...using a barrage of attacks to hit the opponent..."

Duskull fell to the ground with a swirly eye. "Duuusk..."

"Duskull is unable to battle! The winner is Poochy!" The ref declared.

"You go Gilbert! Look at that! You did it buddy!" Henry whistled and chuckles, waving his arms around.

Gilbert cackled and grinned, puffing out his chest a bit. "See? Look at that? I knew using Poochy was the smartest idea~ Kesesese~" He grins and crosses his arms.

She rubbed her chin. "Duskull return! Thank you, now I know just how to handle him." She nodded.

Gilbert blinks and shakes his head. "Don't know what you're talking about, but I'm going to win this with my precious Poochy!"

Poochy wagged her tail and looked back at Gilbert. "Might!" She barked happily at him

Mara sighed and rubbed her temples. "You're giving one a headache you know...you're much to overly confident..." She took out her second Pokeball. "Now! Lets go Banette! I choose you!" She threw her Pokeball.

"Alright Poochy! We can win this! Keep those spirits up!" Gilbert throws up his fists and laughs.

Poochy growled and crouched down. "Might!"

Mara shook her head and sighed. "Honestly...your over confidence is going to be the end of you. Banette! Use Feint Attack!"

Banette grins and lunges forward, then disappears. He came up next to Poochy and slammed into her, making her cry out and slide against the ground.

"Shadow Ball!" Poochy opened her mouth and fired a black and purple ball of energy at the opposing Pokemon.

"Feint Attack once more!" Banette disappeared, making the Shadow Ball miss. He reappeared in front of Poochy and slammed into her, causing her to cry out and fall on her back.

Gilbert grit his teeth. "That Feint Attack move is getting really annoying...Poochy! Can you stand?!" Gilbert called out to his Pokemon.

Poochy shakily stood up and shook out her fur and growled. "Might! Might!" She was still raring to go!

"That's the spirit! Kesesese~" He smirks a bit. He had a plan, he knew what he was going to do now!

"Lets finish this! Feint Attack, one last time!" Bannette charged at Poochy before disappearing.

"Now pay close attention! The moment he shows up, use Crunch!" Gilbert was confident Poochy would be fast enough. Poochy nodded and growled softly, paying close attention, her ears twitching a bit.

Just as Banette appeared to the right of Poochy she opened her mouth, teeth glowing, and chomped down on Banette, latching on to his arm.

"Ba?!" He looked a bit surprised. Mara was just as surprised. She didn't think Poochy was fast enough to react and bite Banette like that.

"Kesesesesese~! That's it girl! Now! Fling him up! Then use Shadow Ball!" Poochy spun around and flung Banette into the air and opened her mouth, releasing a ball of shadowy energy.

Banette's eyes went wide and cried out when he was hit. He fell towards the ground. Mara rubbed her chin and nodded. "Right...right...good strategy...Banette! Up! Now!"

"Ba!" He opened his eyes and lifted up, landing on the ground with his feet. "Baaaanette~!"

Gilbert blinked and jumped back a bit. "Huh?! I thought...okay! We can win this Poochy! I know we can! Hang tough!"

"I thought he'd be done for..." Henry scratched his head.

"She isn't the gym leader for nothing you know." Ludwig nodded, rubbing his chin.

"Now Poochy! Use Dig!" Poochy growled and dug into the ground.

Mara raised a brow. "Now what is he planning...stay vigilant Banette! She will come up anytime and anywhere!"

Gilbert crossed his arms and cackles softly. "Just you watch! Poochy! Now! Shadow Ball!" Poochy came up from the ground behind Banette, a black and purple ball of energy formed in her mouth.

"BANETTE WATCH OUT!" She yelled to her Pokemon, but it was to late. He was hit and thrown back a few feet before landing on the ground. He slowly sat up. "Good job! Now! Will-O-Wisp!"

Banette jumped up and grinned, raising his arms, blue balls of fire surrounded him and then launched at Poochy. She cried out when she was hit and shook her head. She growled then flinched as she glowed red, taking damage from the burn.

"Oh no! Poochy's burned! What's Gilbert gonna do?!" Henry waved his arms around.

Ludwig forced Henry to sit down. "Calm down! You're yelling and arm flailing aren't going to help him!"

Henry blinks and pouted, crossing his arms. "Fiinnnee..." Totodile pat his arm.

"Totodiiiile." He gave him a thumbs up.

Gilbert grit his teeth. "Oh dang...I forgot he knew that move! Hang tight Poochy! It'll be okay! Use Dig! Come on!"

Poochy looked back at him and nodded before jumping up and digging into the ground, leaving a hole.

"Not this time. Banette, use Hyper Beam into the hole! Now!" Banette grinned as he formed an orange ball of energy in front of his mouth. He jumped up and over the hole, firing an orange beam into the hole.

Poochy cried out as she was pushed out from under the ground by the attack. She fell to the ground and shakily stood up. She panted a few times and whimpered as she was glowing red, taking damage from the burn.

She fell over with swirly eyes. "Miiiiiight..."

"Mightyena is unable to battle! The winner is Banette!" The ref called.

Gilbert blinked a few times and shook his head. "Poochy!" He gripped his hair a bit. He didn't think Poochy would lose! He didn't have a back up plan! He bit his nails a bit and groaned softly, rubbing his head. What was he going to do?! Who should he use next?

Henry blinked a few times. "Hey! Gilbert! Calm down! You can do this! You're awesome remember?! Just calm down and think!"

Gilbert blinked and looked at Henry. He returned Poochy and nodded. "Right...calm down...think think..."

"You still have two more Pokemon! You're good dude! You can do it! We're here with you!" Alfred calls to his friend to try and help him out.

"We believe in you bruder!" Ludwig tried to help out his brother.

Gilbert sniffled at his friends affection and wiped a tear from his eye and grinned. "You're right! Thanks guys! Kesesese~" He grins and his eyes beamed with confidence once more. He took off a Pokeball from his belt. "Alright! I'm back!"

Mara raised a brow. "You all seem so close...it's sweet. But now lets continue this battle. Choose your next Pokemon!"

"You got it~" He cackled and winked at her. "Alright! I know I can trust you to help me win this! Rhydon! I choose you!" He threw his Pokeball and Rhydon was released. His horn started to spin like a drill and he snorted.

"Oh yeah! Rhydon! One of his strongest Pokemon! Go Gilbert!" Henry laughs and waves his arms around.

Totodile copied him and did the same, though he had some pom poms that he waved around.

She rubbed her chin and nodded slowly. "I see...a Rhydon...very strong defense...and can be very powerful...Banette! Use Icy Wind!"

"Banette!" He nodded and spread his arms, releasing a strong wind and sparkling blue snow from his body.

Rhydon closed his eyes and snorted, taking the hit, though he didn't look to fazed. Gilbert laughs and sets his hands on his hips. "That puny attack can't hurt my Rhydon! Now! Lets show them what we're made of! Iron Tail! Lets go!"

Rhydon's tail started to glow a metallic grey and he swung it at Banette. Banette jumped up and out of the way, cackling at Rhydon. Rhydon's eyes narrowed as he brought his tail up and swung it at Banette, hitting him straight on and causing him to crash into the wall. He fell to the ground with swirly eyes.

"Banette is unable to battle! The winner is Rhydon!" The ref called out.

Alfred cheered the loudest and smiled. "YOU DID IT! GOOD JOB GILBERT WE KNEW YOU COULD DO IT!" He waved his arms around and laughed.

Gilbert puffed out his chest and Rhydon let out a fierce battle cry, his horn spinning like a drill as he stomped his foot. "I knew you'd come through for me! I made the best choice!" He grinned, rubbing his knuckles against his chest.

"Banette, return!" Mara returned her Pokemon and nodded before taking out her last Pokeball. "Now it's your turn! Gengar! I choose you!" She threw her Pokeball and with a flash Gengar was released and had a big grin on his face.

"Alright Rhydon, this is her last Pokemon, we beat him, and we win! So give it your all!" His Pokemon nodded and scratched his foot against the ground. "Lets start off with Stone Edge!"

"Rhyyyy!" He spread his arms and soon glowing sharp grey rocks were orbiting around him. He cried out and they were fired at Gengar.

Gengar jumped up and out of the way, laughing as he did so. "Gengengengengen!"

"Now Gengar! Use Ice Punch!" Gengar clenches one of his fists and brings it back. It then is surrounded in a light blue icy glow. He charges at Rhydon from the air, his fist forward.

"Dodge that with Dig!" Rhydon spins around like a drill and digs into the ground, causing Gengar to miss and look down the hole.

"Stay vigilant! Don't let your guard down! He will come up any minute!" She called out to her Pokemon, defense up, ready for where the attack will becoming from.

Gengar looked around and jumped back from the hole.

Henry looked around as well as Totodile and they scratched the top of their heads. "Know where he's gonna come up buddy?" Totodile looked up at him and shrugged.

Gilbert was laughing a bit as he watched the Pokemon and his trainer try to figure out where Rhydon was going to appear. "NOW Iron Tail!"

Rhydon came out of the ground right in front of Gengagar and swung his metallic grey tail at the opponent. Gengar cried out and slid against the ground, coming to a stop. He shook his head.

"That is a very strong Iron Tail. But it's not going to be enough! Confuse Ray! Gengar grins as he forms six golden orbs that then are launched at Rhydon. They stick to the Pokemon and he tries to shake them off. Soon they envelope him and flash brightly.

"No! Rhydon! Snap out of it!" Rhydon blinks and cried out runs around aimlessly. He crashes into one of the walls and stumbled back shaking his head, horn spinning like a drill and he runs toward Gengar.

"Ice Punch!" Gengar's fist started to get a light blue icy glow. He waits until Rhydon was close before slamming his fist into him, sending him on his back and sliding on the ground.

"RHYYY!" He thrashed around on the ground.

Gilbert took out his Pokeball. He didn't have a choice! Not with him being confused! He tended to go wild whenever he was confused and was uncontrollable. "RHYDON RETURN!" His Pokemon was taken back into his Pokeball and he sighed. "Dang it...come on..."

Henry pouted and crossed his arms. "Awh man...that Confuse Ray really messed Rhydon up..." Totodile nodded and crossed his arms.

Ludwig sighed a bit. "Even when he was just a Rhyhorn, he tended to freak out and charge all over the place. He wouldn't listen to Gilbert at all...sure Pokemon get confused, but his Pokemon tended to overreact..."

Alfred nodded. "Man that must be tough..." He scratched his cheek. "Wait, then who is he gonna use next?"

"I don't know, but I hope he has a Plan C." Henry chuckled a bit and was starting to get a bit worried.

Gilbert cackled and grinned. "Alright, minor set back! But I got the perfect substitute!" He took off a Pokeball from his belt and threw it. "Alright! Tyrunt! Lets go!"

"WHAT!?" The three yelled at the same time and stood up, all surprised and wondering why he chose Tyrunt!

"But he doesn't have much battle experience!" Henry waves his arms around.

"He should be using Drilbur!" Alfred gripped his hair and groans a little bit. "But...he has to have a strategy, right?"

Ludwig groaned a bit, rubbing the back of his neck. "We-well...ja! He has to...I'm sure he does."

Gilbert grinned as Tyrunt looked around and turned around. "Alright Tyrunt! This is your first Gym Battle! But I know you can beat this Gengar! I thought this would be good experience for you! I figured I would give you a shot! Kesesese~!"

"OOHHH!" The three all fell back and hit the ground, groaning.

Henry sighs. "Well...this could be great experience for Tyrunt..."

"Still...he doesn't even have a strategy...that kinda sucks...I hope he knows what he's doing..." Alfred laughs breathlessly.

Ludwig just groans, knowing he shouldn't have expected his brother to have had any strategy planned...

"Okay Tyrunt! Start off with Crunch! GO!" Tyrunt nodded and looked at Gengar before running toward him, mouth open, teeth glowing.

Mara rubbed her chin. "A Tyrunt...how interesting. Dodge! Then use Ice Punch!"

Gengar jumped out of the way, landing behind Tyrunt and grinned as his fist was glowing an icy blue.

"Crunch one more time!" Gilbert grins and rubs his hands together.

"Tyyyyrunt!" He lunged forward, mouth open and bite down hard on his fist, stopping the attack.

"Geng?!" His eyes went wide and blinked as his fist was caught in the mouth of the Pokemon.

"What the? Did he actually stop the attack by biting his fist?" She was quite impressed really. That was a very creative way to counter a move.

Gilbert cackled and jumped up, hitting his heels together. "That's the way to do it Tyrunt! Now use Dragon Tail!" Tyrunt let go and his tail started to glow a light blue. He spun around, hitting him with his tail.

Gengar cried out as he was thrown back and did a flip before landing on his feet. He shook his head and narrowed his eyes. "Gengar!"

Gilbert grinned and cackled. "That's the spirit Tyrunt!"

Tyrunt smiled and jumped up happily. "Tyrunt! Ty!"

"Night Shade Gengar." Mara called out. Gengar shot out a black beam of energy from his eyes at Tyrunt.

"Now Tyrunt! Use your head! Kesesese~!" Gilbert set his hands on his hips, grinning big.

Tyrunt jumped up and held his head down and ran toward Gengar, hitting the beam head first. He was pushed back but took one step forward at a time.

Henry blinks a few times and rubs his eyes. "Whoa! Is he stopping the attack with his own head?!"

"Toto!" Totodile waved his arms around and nodded.

"He sure is one hard headed Pokemon." Alfred laughs and crosses his arms, nodding.

Gilbert cackled and grinned. "Now Tyrunt! Use Earthquake." Tyrunt lifted up one of his feet and slammed it down on the ground causing shockwaves and the ground to shake and quake.

Gengar blinked and stopped his attack as he flinched, taking damage from the attack.

Mara narrowed her eyes a bit. "I see...Gengar hold tough! Get your footing!" Gengar stumbled a bit as the ground stopped shaking and he was a bit dazed.

"Now Tyrunt! Use Crunch! Now!" He grins and crosses his arms. Tyrunt ran up to Gengar, mouth open and teeth glowing. He snapped his jaw, making Gengar cry out and fall back on the ground.

Henry stood up and laughs. "You did it Gilbert! Wooo! I knew you could!"

"Check again dude. It's not over just yet." Alfred pointed to Gengar who shakily stood up and shook his head.

Henry blinks and sits back down. "Awh man, I thought he had it this time..."

"Confuse Ray Gengar!" Gengar formed six glowing balls that shoot towards Tyrunt and latch on to him. They shine brightly before disappearing, making Tyrunt confused.

Gilbert grit his teeth. "Not this attack again...Tyrunt! Use Crunch! Come on!" Tyrunt looked around and his mouth opened, teeth glowing white. He lunged forward, no where NEAR Gengar and landed on the ground sliding a bit.

"Noooo! I hate Confuse Ray!" He slapped his forehead. This wasn't good...not one little bit.

"Finish him off Gengar! Ice Punc!" Gengar's fist was surrounded in a light blue icy glow. He lunged at the confused Tyrunt and slammed his fist against him, making him cry out and land on the ground with swirly eyes.

"Tyrunt is unable to battle! The winner is Gengar!" The ref called out.

"Wow...taken down by a super effective move..." Henry crossed his arms and sighed. Totodile did the same as he sat next to him.

"To think that move is more than just super effective...It's super extra effective! Both rock AND dragon types are weak against ice..." Alfred added in.

Gilbert returned Tyrunt. "Thanks a lot Tyrunt, you were great out there. Kesese~" He grinned and took a deep breath.

"You're down to your last Pokemon." Mara said to Gilbert. "Are you sure you can win this?" She raised a brow.

Gilbert gripped Rhydon's Pokeball. "Of course! I just had a minor set back! Alright Rhydon! Come on! Lets finish this!"

With a flash Rhydon was sent back out, over his confused condition. His horn started to spin like a drill and he snorted, scratching his foot against the ground.

With Rhydon now over his confused condition, his last and final Pokemon is up against Mara's strongest. Does he have what it takes to beat her? Or will he end up losing thanks to Gengar's Confuse Ray? Stay tuned next time to see how this plays out!
