Before:
"Why does it just cut off like that?" Zero says with a sort of worry.
"He must have been writing it when we escaped and freed the mew," Rio responds.
"Huh, by the look of this they took care of it at the very least." Zero says with a smile having just read the origins of her mew.
"Well now we know how it was treated." Rio responds to zero with a smile.
After: Morning rolls around as zero stretches noticing her mew laying on her chest which makes her smile widely and rub it's ears. "So cute" She says to it, which makes it purr as it stretches lightly and floats off next to her.
Zero yawns gently and stretches looking around to notice rio sleeping in a nearby chair against him was her eevee which makes her smile widely before she stands up and has her mew sit on her shoulder as she wakes up rio and her eevee. "You two sleep well?" She asks them.
"Yeah, we did" Rio pets the eevee which was laying against him before standing up holding him in his arms.
"Good, we should go work on getting my 3rd badge," Zero says with a smile trudging towards the door.
"Let's do this," Rio says as he gives a confident look towards the eevee in his arms which gives him a confident smile and a feral cry.
Zero heads down the path towards the gym and heads inside rio and her starter follow suit and they find themselves in a large room the arena had a few boulders and was filled with grass the ceiling was glass so natural sunlight could come in as well, On the sides of the arena were large trees grown fully.
A spotlight shines down in the middle of the arena to reveal someone standing there.
"So another challenger approaches me." A feminine voice speaks up.
"You made a terrible mistake challenging the maiden of flowers, I am erica, the Bug type gym leader of Celadon city gym."
"Shall we begin?"
She heads to her side of the arena as she sends out her first pokemon. Lets see how you deal with my team. In a burst of light a Gloom appears it looks extremely goofy of course but should not be underestimated.
"Okay Rio I want you to have my eevee fight first." Zero says and her eevee hops towards the arena and gives it a confident look.
"Gloom, start off with sweet scent to cause a distraction then use toxic." Erica orders her gloom and zero smirks and tells eevee to use iron tail on the ground to disperse the sweet scent and it works.
"Eevee use quick attack." Zero orders and her eevee takes off at lightning speed tackling the gloom and launching it back with immense force.
"Gloom, Use razor leaf to try and keep it at a distance." Erica orders her gloom and it starts to use razor leaf firing multiple leaves towards eevee to keep it at a distance awaiting it's next order.
"Eevee jump up and use iron tail onto the ground." Zero orders it to do so having a plan. Once eevee does so it makes it very hard for gloom to see and zero smirks, "now use quick attack." Zero says and with this connection gloom is now unable to battle as it knocks him out.
"Gloom, Return." Erica says returning it before sending out her next pokemon, a moth-like pokemon with purple wings appears as it floats around. "Let's see how you deal with my venomoth."
"Eevee return to me, Rio your up" Zero says as her lucario steps forward and looks into his soul drawing within him his aura.
"Rio, You can fight with what you have. I am not gonna give you orders this time." Zero says with a smirk as erica shrugs and tells her venomoth to use gust.
Rio stands his ground digging his feet into the ground as his tail slams into the ground to withstand the wind force before he uses the recoil of the wind to launch through the force of the attack and he strikes venomoth with extreme speed using the force from gust with him. This knocks it back into the far wall of the gym and erica gasps. "I guess I have no choice, It's time for you to see my strongest member."
"Alright, Sceptile come on down." Erica says as her strongest team member hops from the rafters it was wearing a necklace with a mega-stone embedded into it and erica rolls up her sleeve revealing a bracelet with a matching mega-stone. "One with the flowers and fury, mega-evolve" She says as she touches the stone on her bracelet and energy flows off of her connecting with energy flowing off of her sceptile. It gains a lot of power in the process. The Immense force of energy even pushes rio back a bit. "What power!" He shakes his head though and regains his composure. "Alright let's rumble then." He draws out his aura power and then with it rushes the enemy down.
"Sceptile Use leaf blade!" Erica says as the blades on it's arms gain a sickening green glow and he rushes toward Rio and they clash repeatedly striking each other with immense force.
Sceptile begins to wear out from the repeated forceful strikes. "Sceptile, Frenzy Plant while still countering." Erica orders which causes Zero to gasp as Rio is thrown into the air but she smiles as he uses the momentum of being pushed up to create a downward strike and he slams his aura infused bones into sceptiles head knocking him out as the mega energy fades.
"Sceptile! No!" Erica says rushing into the arena and sighing. Sceptile, Return." She says with a little bit of regret as she approaches zero. "Zero, This is the rainbow badge." She says handing her the rainbow badge. "I'd assume your gonna head to saffron city for your 5th badge?" She says.
"Actually no, I'm gonna be heading to cerulean for my 4th badge because misty was out of town during the time I was there," Zero responds politely.
"I wish you luck then, Zero." Erica bows before returning to her garden before giving her Pokemon to one of the gym assistants so they could be healed.
Suddenly a deep chill could be felt as the gym started to cool down rapidly and unusually.
"It's our turn now!" Shouts someone as 5 people dressed in uniforms appear.
"We are Neo Eclipse, and we are here for the girl." They say pointing towards Zero.
"You won't take her!" Rio says as he jumps forward but smoke billows from them and he is struck unconscious. The last thing he hears is maniacal laughter as they grab zero and her screams can be heard as her pokeballs fall to the ground.
