Chapter 5: A Buzzing Battle
The gang finally entered Santalune City, and Ash was stoked as ever for the gym.
"Santalune City, here I come! You're gonna be where I get my first badge!" Ash said, quite excited. Bonnie and Gavin followed Ash, while Clemont was trailing quite a bit.
"Can you…guys…slow down?" Clemont asked, exhausted.
Ash looked back and just said, "C'mon hurry up Clemont!"
"Wait but I got a question, and it's kinda important. Do we even know where we're going?" Clemont asked.
"Nope, not a single clue!" Ash said, sprinting off, and taking a left. They had probably ran at least 4 miles at this point, when they finally decided to ask for directions near the fountain.
"Um…hey miss? I'm just wondering if you know where the gym is?" Clemont asked.
"Hm? Oh yea the gym is just right over there. My name is Viola by the way, it's nice to meet you." Viola said, and they sprinted off for the gym. They entered the gym wondering where the leader was. Suddenly Viola appeared behind us, and greeted us.
"Wait, you're the gym leader!?" Ash asked, a bit surprised.
"Yup. I'm the Santalune City gym leader. Who's first?" Viola asked.
"Me. I'll go first." Gavin said. They were met by a gym ref, and they started the 2v2 battle.
"Let's go Umbra." Gavin said, as his Weavile came out its Ultra Ball.
"Surskit, I choose you!" Viola said.
[Let's end this quick] Umbra said.
"Right. Swords Dance." Gavin commanded. Umbra raised her attack, and Viola took her chance to attack.
"Surskit, use Ice Beam!" Viola said. In a blink of an eye, it had appeared that Umbra had teleported across the battlefield, and dodged the attack.
"It's over. Ice Punch." Gavin said. Umbra hit Surskit so hard, that it blasted it to the wall, and the battle was over. Everyone just seemed confused on what just happened. Even Viola seemed as confused as ever.
"Vivillon, it's time to shine!" Viola said after a few seconds of confusion.
"I'll end this quick. Ice Punch." Gavin commanded. Again, Umbra seemed to have teleported behind her target, and smacked it to the ground. Somehow it was still holding on, after being punch straight down.
"Use Gust!" Viola said. The winds hit Umbra a little bit, but she was holding on.
"Night Slash." Gavin said. Umbra had slashed Vivillon quickly, and the battle was over. He collected his badge and watched Ash's battle.
"How did you do that Gavin?" Clemont asked.
"Lots of training." Gavin responded simply. Then Gavin had noticed a blonde girl walk through the door.
"Can we help you?" Clemont asked.
"Oh…um, I just wanted to watch the battle." The girl said. After a tough battle, coming down to the wire, Ash had lost, and rushed his Pokemon to the Center. However it turns out that Ash left his bag, and the girl took it and followed to the Pokemon Center...
