Chapter 25
Where we last left off, Team RWBY have entered Brazil City in the hopes of getting badges along with getting to enter Pokemon Contest and Showcases. Yet upon arrival, they met a detective of the International Police, Detective Looker. Not only that, they also encountered Franklin, who is also working with the detective. The four girls learned about illegal matches being conducted in the city called, nuzlocke matches, which are death matches where Pokemon die. Team RWBY wanted to be part of the investigation, however, they have to get a badge to prove how strong they are and willing to help. And so, our four heroines headed to the gym to get their first badge.

My broken wings dream of the sky,
And they'll never be able to fly.
Only if we never try,
On my loo-o-o-ove!
If I could become just one thing,
I'd be a butterfly-free soaring.
I really miss you...
So finally I'm on my way.
Let's focus on the people we trust
And leave out all the doubt behind us.
So if you're ready...
Can we go? 'Cause there's no time to wa-aste.
I wanna kno-o-ow oh...
If the sky above is only for show.
I wanna kno-o-ow oh...
What tomorrow will bring so let's spread our wi-i-ings!
Maybe this world's an infinite dream,
And there is only hope living in me!
May it not fail me now!
We'll turn this thing around and bring back the lovin' somehow!
My broken wings dream of the sky,
and they'll never be able to fly!
Only if we never try,
On my lo-o-ove!
On my lo-o-o-ove!
Now we cut to Team RWBY over at the Brazil Gym. They gym is a round building that has a giant cherry tree growing right down in the center of the gym. At the front of the gym, there is the symbol of the gym in a form of a tilted Pokeball that has the white area having some sort of triangle attach to it that got fused with the Pokeball.
"This is it." Blake says while looking up along with her teammates.
"This is kinda odd for a gym." Weiss says her mind.
"I'm guessing that the gyms have a theme based on their type." Yang makes an observation.
Ruby then states, "It is supposed to be a gym full of grass-types, so it had to have like a nature theme or something like that."
Weiss says annoyed, "Well I hope we don't go near a fire-type gym! The heat would be murder on my hair."
Yang giggles a little, "Mine too."
Blake steps up to the door, "Come on. Let's get this over with so we can help other trainers and their Pokemon."
"Right!" the rest of Team RWBY agree.
"Okay... Here we go..."
Everyone is just standing in place for ten seconds. At the front door. Not moving an inch.
Yang says, "Um, we're not moving."
"I know." Blake replies before clearing her throat. "Here we go."
The four are still standing there with a tumbleweed being blown behind them.
Yang says, "...We're still not moving."
Ruby asks, "Does talking count as moving?"
Weiss just rolls her eyes and groans, "I'll go first!" So Weiss steps forward and opens the door.
Ruby, Blake and Yang later follow.
Inside the gym are wooden columns that are covered in vines with black wooden floors, a few flowers at the bottom of the columns, some flower beds, and plenty of lighting to support the plants while there are green colored walls full of pictures that have pictures of different grass-type Pokemon and a few people on them. They walk a little further in and noticed the round corridors with glass windows that reveal a large area outside.
"Oh wow." all the members of Team RWBY say at once when they look.
The area they can see has the giant tree in the center with sun rays peering through the openings of the leaves. And in that light, they can see something that looks like some sort of nature preserve with some ponds with some lily pads, beautiful flowers in different variety and colors, many stones covered in moss, and plenty of grass-types that have free roam of the nature area. Yet there is this one area that looks like the rocks have been demolished and a few holes in the ground. As if a battle took place. Yet the Pokemon are restoring the area right now.
"Look at all those grass-type Pokemon." Yang says in amazement.
Ruby presses her hands and face on the glass, "This place is awesome! I didn't know that there are this many grass-types!"
Blake is holding her Megadex and takes pictures while learning about the different Pokemon there is.
Weiss looks at the admirable view and is impress with such a garden. But she shakes her head and focus on finding the gym leader. "Right, where's the gym leader?"
"Excuse me?" says a small child wearing an elementary school uniform. He has black hair that is combed to his left side and green eyes. His uniform is white with short sleeves and buttons, black slacks, and Japanese school shoes. Yet he has a golden pin on his left chest pocket that says, 'Hall Monitor'
The four turn their attention to the boy.
"Are you four Pokemon Trainers?" the boy asks.
Team RWBY is confused at the person they are seeing. They are starting to wonder if this is a gym or not.
Blake stepped-up, "Excuse us, but is this the Brazil City Gym?"
The boy smile, "It is!"
Weiss then asks, "But why are you here? I mean, you're wearing a school uniform."
"That's because this gym doubles as a school."
The four girls look at each other and go, "Wait, what?"
Something that sounds like an old fashion school bell rang and a bunch of kids exited out of the classrooms to head to wherever they need to go. But some of them stopped and noticed Team RWBY in the corridor.
"Are you girls Pokemon Trainers?" one of the female students asked.
"We are." Weiss responds.
Some of the students smile with one male student saying, "HEY EVERYONE! WE GOT SOME POKEMON TRAINERS!"
Many of them stop and admire the trainers. They even admit that they look cool.
Then a teacher walks up and says, "Alright, students! That's enough!" The teacher is a woman with short black hair that looks neat and straight with curly bangs, red trim glasses, a green dress shirt that has a four-leaf clover pin on her left side, a shin length green skirt with a leaf pattern on them, black stockings, blue gardening gloves, and light brown gardening boots with dark brown soles and shoelaces. The woman appears to be in her late 20's. She adjust her glasses when she notices Team RWBY, "Oh my! It seems we got some trainers today."
Yang starts signing, "Hel-loooo~!"
"Or perhaps a few pop idol singers to join us."
Some of the students laugh at the teacher's comment.
Weiss steps up, "We are Pokemon trainers."
Ruby then says, "And Pokemon coordinators."
Followed by Blake saying, "And Pokemon performers."
"Oh my!" the teacher says, "You girls must have a full plate. Oh, I'm Ayana by the way. But students call me Ms. Rozu"
"I'm Ruby!"
"Weiss Schnee."
"Blake." Blake does a small little wave of her left hand.
"And I'm Yang!"
"It is a pleasure to meet you all. I'm guessing that you are here for a Pokemon Gym Battle. But who is going first?"
"I am." Weiss is eager to go first. However, the main reason is because the sooner she gets her badge, the sooner she gets to save all the cute Pokemon from the Nuzlock Battles.
Ayana smiles at Weiss, "Alrighty then." Then she addresses her students, "Students! It is time for a Pokemon battle!"
All the students cheer as they are about to see a Pokemon battle.
Both Weiss and Ayana are in the garden where the arena is with white chalk on the grass in the form of an arena with the principal, dressed like an elderly Englishman with some balding and a mustache, being the referee. The students are watching through the windows and are eager to see the battle. The school's grass-type Pokemon are watching from a safe distance with some having gardening hoses at the ready just in case of a fire from a fire-type move. Team RWBY are with the grass-type Pokemon and watch intensively at the fight.
Ayana then speaks, "Before we begin, how many badges do you have!?"
"I don't have any!" Weiss responds as she pulls out a Pokeball.
"Very well then!" Ayana pulls out a green Pokeball, "I'll use Pokemon for beginners like you!"
AN: Allow me to explain. I think I did explain it but allow me to explain again. In the Ultima Region, gyms use Pokemon of different levels depending on the number of badges you have. There are three reasons why that is. One, in the original design of my Pokemon MMO is because I want it to be a bit more open world so trainers can travel anywhere they like and choose any gym they want to start with. Two, to add a bit of challenge. So pretend that you are a trainer with two badges and a friend of yours have ten. When you go in, the Pokemon the gym leader use is what you expect from your third gym battle in any other game. Yet when your friend with ten badges go in, it is a different story. The levels of the gym leader's Pokemon are higher and fully evolved and can use Mega Evolutions, Z-Moves, and all that other stuff (this was before gigamaxing and dynamaxing). In other words, the more gym badges you have, the higher and difficult the battles will be. And finally three: in the original game, depending on the number of badges you have, the more difficult the puzzles will be. You may have to apply some hard brainstorming to figure out how to get to the gym leader. But don't worry, there are a few hints and clues scattered around depending on the number of badges you have. Yet here, there won't be any puzzles since this is a story.
The principal clears his throat as he says the rules, "The challenger is allow to use as many Pokemon as she has and allowed to substitute during battle. Gym leader Ayana is allow to use three Pokemon and not allowed to substitute during battle. No time limit. Let the battle begin!"
Ayana throws her Pokeball, "Go, Lavenseed!"
A Pokemon comes out and it appears to be a small, light pink creature, whose body is in the shape of a teardrop. It has leaf-green eyes, a small pinkish-orange ball on the tip of its head, which has two purple leaves on it, and stubby feet.
Weiss goes goo-goo-gaa-gaa over the Pokemon as she says in a baby voice, "SO CUTE!"
Ruby and Yang are also smitten with the adorable Pokemon. Blake just pulls out her Megadex.
Lavenseed. The lavender Pokemon. Grass and fairy-type. Lavenseed spends most of their day basking in sunlight for necessary nutrients. They are attracted to kind people, though large crowds may scare them away.
Weiss just adores Lavenseed with hearts for eyes and hearts emitting from her body. Lavenseed gives Weiss an adorable smile which nearly causes her to faint. But she shakes it off.
'Okay.' she says mentally, 'Need to think. If I remember correctly, Lavenseed is both a grass and fairy-type. So it is especially weak against poison-types. But I don't have one. Since it is part grass-type, I think I should use bug, psychic, flying and fire-types. So in other words...' Weiss then throws her Cherish Ball, "Go, Nicolas!"
Nicolas comes out and is ready for battle. However, she uses the device that causes Nicolas to evolve into Flareon.
"That's interesting." Ayana pushes her glasses. "So you got yourself a special Eevee that can evolve and unevolve? That's neat."
The students watching are in awe when they see Nicolas evolving into a Flareon.
"But let's see how well you do. Lavenseed, use fairy wind!"
Lavenseed uses fairy wind on Nicolas.
"Dodge it!" Weiss ordered, "Then use fire fang on it!"
Nicolas jumps out of the way and the inside of his mouth becomes covered in flames. Then Nicolas proceeds to spin around to capture the fairy wind that turns the flames pink and glitters.
"What the-?" Ayana is taken by surprise by what Nicolas just did.
The students of the school are watching with a male student going, "Holy Miltank! That's just like the moves Franklin uses!"
One of the female student says in excitement, "Franklin always use his opponents moves against them!"
The battle continues as Nicolas attacks Lavenseed with the pink flames of the fire fang! Lavenseed has fainted and is returned to its Pokeball.
The principal says, "Lavenseed is unable to battle! The first match goes to Nicolas!"
Weiss is completely stun as she just cannot believe she just won the first round. "I won?"
"Not quite!" Ayana says as she throws her next Pokeball, "Go, Gossifleur!"
Gossifleur came out and is ready for battle.
"AWWW~!" Weiss went with lovey-dovey eyes. "IT'S SO CUTE!"
The principal signals, "Begin!"
Weiss snaps out of it and orders, "Use flamethrower!"
Nicolas fires a jet of flames at his opponent.
"Use rapid spin!" Ayana ordered.
Gossifleur spins its body around and dodges.
"Again!" Weiss says.
Nicolas uses flamethrower again but Gossifleur's rapid spin is going so fast that it deflected the flames.
"What in the world?!" Weiss is taken by surprise.
What happens next is that cotton is scattered all over the field. That is because of Gossifleur's effect, Cotton Down. When it is hit by a damaging move, cotton is scattered all over and lowers the speed of all Pokemon except itself.
"Now use sing!" Ayana says to Gossifleur.
Gossifleur stops spinning and sings. Colorful music notes are then scattered across the field. Nicolas got hit by one of those notes and starts to fall asleep.
"Nicolas, return!" Weiss returns Nicolas back into his ball. Then she throws the next one, "Go, Monarch!" Monarch pops out and is ready for battle. "Use gust!"
Monarch flutter his wings rapidly that blows away all the cotton on the ground along with the musical notes that one of them manages to hit Gossifleur. Gossifleur falls asleep.
"Not good!" Ayana's Pokemon is hit by its own move.
"Now use gust combine with psybeam!"
Monarch flutter his wings rapidly again with its antennae glow purple and it releases a purple beam from them. This cause the gust of wind to emit waves of purple energy right at Gossifleur. With that, Gossifleur is returned to its Pokeball.
The principal announce, "Gossifleur is unable to battle! The second match goes to Monarch!"
"Wow!" one of the female students say in astonishment. "That trainer is amazing! Is she also a Coordinator?"
One of the male students say, "She was able to do a double combo on teach's Pokemon!"
Ruby smiles, "That's our Weiss!"
Ayana then compliments Weiss, "Not bad, trainer. Hard to believe that this is your first gym battle. Yet you manage to pull off combos like a pro. Where did you learn these techniques?"
Weiss responds, "I learn them from Franklin when I watched his battle against Blue and even taught my friends a thing or two."
"AAAAAHH!" Ayana goes full fangirl-mode, "YOU MEET FRANKLIN!?"
"WHAAAAAT!?" the students are in total shock when they learned that.
Ruby and Yang started to get bashful while Blake just look away.
Ayana continues, "I LOVE FRANKLIN! THAT YOUNG MAN IS THE GREATEST GIFT THIS WORLD HAS EVER PRODUCE! I LOVE HIS MUSIC! HIS MOVIES! HIS BOOKS! I EVEN COLLECT ALL HIS FIGURINES! I EVEN HAVE ALL FOOTAGE OF ALL HIS LEAGUE BATTLES! I AM HIS BIGGEST FAN!" She shows all the stuff she mentioned that she has on standby.
The students are creeped out, "NOW THAT'S JUST CREEPY."
Blake goes, "Wait, he writes books?"
Weiss is also a bit creeped out.
Ayana regains her composure. "Sorry, sorry! When it comes to Franklin the League Slayer, I lose control." She clears her throat, "So anyway." Ayana pulls out her last Pokeball, "I hope you are ready for the next Pokemon." She tosses her Pokeball, "Go, Snover!"
Snover pops out of its Pokeball and is ready to battle. However, a brief blizzard occurs because of Snover's ability, snow warning. That causes a layer of snow to appear on the battlefield. Monarch is hit by some hail.
Weiss pulls out her Megadex and learn about Snover. 'Interesting.' Weiss thinks for a moment. 'A grass AND ice-type. Guess I should get Nicolas to deal with this cutie since both types are weak against fire.' "I'll call back Monarch for now." Weiss pulls out her Pokeball and have Monarch return. Then she pulls out her Cherish Ball but realizes, 'Wait! Nicolas is still suffering from the sleep status! Crude! Guess I have to try something else. Maybe. Yeah, that's it!' She puts her Cherish Ball back and pulls out a Pokeball. She throws it, "Go, Kitty!"
Kitty, Weiss' Felunge, pops out and is ready for battle.
'A normal type?' Ayana thinks to herself. 'This should be good.'
"Begin!"
"Kitty, use low kick!"
Kitty runs up to Snover before sliding in to kick with one of hits hind legs by taking advantage of the friction of the snow.
"Use leafage to block!"
Snover's hands start to glow bright green and spins while releasing a multitude of glowing green leaves that form a tornado around it. Kitty gets lifted up in the air while taking damage from the leaves.
"Now use powder snow!"
Snover puts its hands in front of its body and a light blue light forms in front of them. A wind with sparkling blue powder is then released from the glow at Kitty, freezing the lower half of her body. Then falls down to the ground.
"Use fury swipes!"
Kitty's claws glow white and grow bigger as she tries to claw her way out of the ice.
"I don't think so!" Ayana says. "Use ice shard!"
Snover raises its hands above its head and a ball of light blue, glowing ice forms in between them. It then throws the ball at Kitty.
"Use yawn and get out of there!"
Kitty is halfway out of the ice and opens her mouth and releases a big blue bubble at Snover. Then Kitty tries to escape before getting hit by the ice shard. Luckily, it missed by a hair. As for yawn, it hit its target and Snover starts to feel tired.
Weiss pulls out her Pokeball, "Kitty, return!" Then throws a Sports Ball, "Go, Cutsie!"
Cutsie pops out and is ready for battle. Snover starts to feel really drowzy. Cutsie gets blasted by Snow Warning and took some damage.
"Quick, Cutsie, use silver wind!"
Cutsie flaps his wings a wind with silver crescents in it are released at Snover. Snover fell asleep and suffers from a direct hit. Snover fell down asleep.
"Oh no!" Ayana says when she realizes that Snover is in trouble. Not to mention that Snover is part grass-type and is weak against bug-types.
"Again!" Weiss ordered. So Cutsie lands another hit with silver wind. "One last time!" Cutsie fires again until Snover is returned to its Pokeball.
The principal says with his right arm raised, "Snover is unable to battle! The winner is...Weiss!"
Weiss runs up to Cutsie as she is happy, "Way to go!" She gives her Pokemon a gentle hug in her hands.
However, her Cutsie started to glow and change. Weiss is in shock at first, but realizes what is going on.
Cutsie has evolved into Ribombee!
Weiss holds her newly evolved Cutsie into the air, "You are...ADORABLE!"
"Aww!" Ruby appeared next to Weiss' left. "He's like a little fairy!"
Weiss get spooked, "Gah! When did you get here?!"
After things settle down both Ayana and Weiss are standing in front of each other with Ayana holding onto a tray and the rest of Team RWBY standing behind Weiss.
"Weiss." Ayana says to Weiss, "For your cunning and brilliant display on the battlefield," she presents the tray, "I hereby present to you...The Palm Badge." The badge Ayana presents looks like a palm tree with its leaves stretching out and the trunk being thin.
Weiss obtained the Palm Badge.
"And since you have the special Eevee, I present to you...The Green Orb."
Weiss obtained the Green Orb.
"With it, you can evolve Nicolas into a Leafeon."
Ruby, Blake and Yang clap in congratulations for Weiss' success.
"Way to go, Weiss!" Yang says. "Things got a little...grassy in the end. But it worked out."
"That was a wonderful battle." Blake congrats.
"Can't wait for my turn!" Ruby says in anticipation. "Once I got mine, we can help but a stop to the crime in the city."
Weiss has won a badge from her first gym. Tomorrow, it will be Ruby's turn once Ayana's Pokemon are healed up. But that is next time. Stay tune!
