I Don't Own Pokemon


The gym wasn't that hard to find but it did take longer than I would have liked, so basically the amount of time extra that it normally takes me to go anywhere. Still as I stepped into the gym with Rockruff at my heels, and Mismagius in my shadow, as she didn't want to be returned like normal, I looked around the place for a moment before spotting to men talking to each other.

"Hello? I'm sorry to interrupt, but I'm here for a gym battle" The two of them stopped talking before turning towards me and grinned before turning back to look at each other with a look of triumph before once more looking back. The skinnier one of the two then said.

"Welcome to our gym! You're one of the first to challenge us since it's been opened so I hope your strong" I just gave a nod as I stepped forwards into the square zone I saw on the floor, which I noted when I first walked in. The bigger of the two, aka the one that hasn't said anything yet called out to me, as the both of them walked into there own spots, which were next to each other.

"This gym is a bit different than the others in this region, to win our badge you have to beat the two of us in a double battle? You know what that is right?" I gave a nod, but couldn't help but frown slightly at that, if Rockruff went out with any other member of the team, he would just play support, and that wouldn't be fair to him. Oh well, I'll just loophole it.

"I know what double battles are, besides that any other rules?" They looked at each other for a moment before the skinny one said.

"This will be a four on four battle, we'll send out our Pokemon first, as long as you're ready"I gave a nod so with that they both reached down to their sides and pulled a pokeball out each. Tossing them both into the air, I watched as a electabuzz and a scyther appeared in font of me. So I just looked down at Rockruff and gave him a nod. They seemed confused at that as one asked.

"You said you know how double battles work right? That means you have to send out two Pokemon" I just gave a shrug before telling them as I glanced down at my shadow and winked.

"I've sent out all the Pokemon that I'm going to use" They looked at each other with a look that I couldn't immediately decipher before the one with the electabuzz nodded before calling out.

"Ok I guess, then this battle will start now...Electabuzz Thunder shock" I raised an eyebrow at that as the electabuzz seemed to try and make the attack weaker than even that low powered attack should have been. Why would they be doing that...Oh bloody hell, they thought I was a new trainer, because of my choice they think I only have one Pokemon on me.

And because Rockruff doesn't exactly look like he's strong, because of stereotypes, these people think a young teen with a puppy Pokemon means they have to take it easy. It hurt my pride, but I didn't get mad because of it, after all they thought what they were doing was the right thing by taking it easy on a beginner. That didn't stop me from ruining that image though.

"Dodge, then get close to the scyther and use Rock throw into Thunder Fang" Rockruff dashed forwards and ducked under the scyther's swipe that wasn't an issued attack, before the collar looking rocks around his neck glowed as a rock formed, before taking that rock and slamming it into the Bug type's head, then right after sparks lit up in my pup's mouth as he bit down on them.

"Uh..I mean scyther get it off of you with X-Scissor" The Bug type raised their arms and as they were about to attack I called out.

"Drop down, block with Iron Tail, then Rock Tomb" Realsing his jaw from the hide of the scyther, my pup's tail glowed as he swung it forwards and blocked the attack before landing on his feet, as his paws touched the ground, after a second his rock collar glowed as the ground seemed to shake for a second before a few small sized boulders ripped form the ground and slammed into the scyther's leg.

"Electabuzz, Thunderbolt" Oh, yeah their was another one here, at least it seems this one is taking me serious now. As I called out right after, as the scyther was still dealing with the rocks attacking at their side and legs.

"Iron Defense, run straight threw and then Iron Head into Fire Fang" Rockruff is best friends with a lion that can produce enough electricity to power a city block, needless to say the Iron Defense might have been not needed, but I wasn't going to risk it as Rockruff slammed his head into the body of the Electabuzz, before grabbing onto one of their arms.

"Electabuzz! Thunder Punch!" With Iron defense he could easily take it, without to much damage sustained, but I wasn't going to risk it on something dodge-able for a few more second of damage.

"Drop down and then Rock Throw" The punch based attack just barely missed as Rock ruff landed with a rock already ready to go as it slammed into the Electric type's side, but before I could call out my next order, it seemed they finally got their team mate to help out.

"Scyther hit it with a Fury Cutter!" I called out to dodge just at the same time as the electabuzz trainer called out for.

"Electabuzz don't let it get away! Brick Break!" That's annoying, I called out for him to get some distance, as my pup tried his best but he wasn't fast enough to get out of the way of all the attacks or even keep track of all of them, thankfully Iron Defense kept the damage to a minimum but I had to rush into my next plan.

"Start increasing your Iron Defense, then knock back a Fury Cutter" His rocks on his neck glowed bright white as the rocks themselves seemed to sharpen as a faint glow of grey formed over his body as the Iron Defense increased to what I recognized stage four of six, good. That's when he managed to get his attack in, so I followed up with.

"Now behind the scyther" He just behind the Pokemon in question as a Thunder fist connected on where he use to be, expect now in place of him standing there it was the scyther, needless to say the electric attack knock that Pokemon out, and now that Rockruff could focus on one, I called out.

"Now Rock Tomb" A bunch of rocks pulled out of the ground and started to beat on the electabuzz, slowly trapping it as they couldn't punch or shock their way out until after a moment the attacks stopped, and after the rocks cleared, revealed an unconscious electabuzz.

The two of them returned their Pokemon at basically the same time and the switched out the pokeballs with another two. I waited as they sent out my new opponents. This time the two Pokemon were an magmar and a pinsir, interesting, I've only battle against each of these Pokemon a few times from random trainers that have challenged me. After a moment the battle started so I called out.

"Rock Throw at the magmar, then Rock Tomb the pinsir" Rockruff took a second to form the first attack but by the time it was on its way towards the target. Slamming into the magmar, knocking it back some while the leader that was using the pinsir had called out.

"Rush it and then use Focus Punch, Pinsir" The pinsir's fist seemed to glow as the color brighten considerable, before charging at Rockruff.

"Dodge above it then Iron Tail" Rockruff managed to jump above the punch and actually used the arm attached to the attack to get higher in the air before flipping in midair, bringing his now glowing tail downwards on top of the pinsir's head, sending it backwards. Calling out right after Rockruff touched down back to the ground.

"Iron Head" He jumped forwards and managed to score another good hit sending the pinsir tumbling back even farther, it was then the magmar caught up.

"Magmar, Flamethrower" Said magmar puffed their gut, holding there head back before throwing their head forwards as a torrent of flames rushed at Rockruff. I just called out as the flames engulfed my pup.

"Rock Throw" I waited a moment before a big rock sailed out of the fire and the flames, threw the air and slammed into the magmar, launching it backwards. As the attack was interrupted Rockruff appeared on the battlefield as the fire died down, he had some burn and soot marks but nothing that bad.

"Now Rock Tomb" The rocks that had been increasingly been appearing around the clearing glowed before rushing at the Fire type. They tried to fight their way out but it was a losing battle, as more and more launched at the magmar. That's when the pinsir made a surprise return.

"Pinsir Superpower" The Bug type seemed to appear in front of my pup even as I called out to increase Iron Defense and dodge, I knew it was to late as the body of the pinsir glowed before slamming their fists into Rockruff, faster and faster until, it seemed all that built up force exploded as the momentum launched Rockruff a good dozen yards away, nearly slamming into the wall.

I watched my downed team member for a moment before he slowly made his way to his feet, rocks still glowing on his neck. He hadn't, even while being knocked around, let go of his concentration on the Rock Tomb. Taking a glance at the magmar, it was hurt almost down, ok then, one more push.

"Rockruff, rush the magmar, Rock Throw then Iron Head" He charged as the pinsir made to intersect, but he just launched it away with an Iron tail, before summoning a bunch of rocks and launching them at the magmar, a lot more rocks than Rock Throw would normally produce, but around the amount a move like Rock Slide would have, so a new move then.

He was still on his charge as the stones connected, slamming into the fire type over and over again, and the second the magmar got a moment without being attacked, was when Rockruff arrived as he slammed his head into the Magmar's chest sending it to the ground, unconscious. That's when the pinsir arrived after recovering from Rockruff's attack.

"Brick Break, Pinsir!" It hit as Rockruff was tossed into the air before hitting the ground, this time not getting up. I sighed as I looked at my unconscious Pokemon, he took down three opponents, with them coming at him in pairs, he did great all things considered, if he didn't have to divide his attention between to foes he would have won, more than likely, well time to finish this. Returning Rockruff I called out.

"Mismagius, Mystical Fire" She floated out of me shadow, as the two gym leaders looked at me in shock as a torrent of purple flame rushed form my ghosts form and engulfed the pinsir, knocking it out almost instantly. Though I did frown, looking at Mismagius in confusion, because that was over kill, the amount of flame used was easily three times more than was necessary.

Though I only had to look at her face to understand, she was the only member on my team to have been knock unconscious during a gym battle, or ever really besides Charizard, but for some reason the fact that Steven was a champion kind of mitigated the fact that he lost. So she was upset that Rockruff had to lose as well, she takes losing more seriously than I do.

In a way this was her evening the score for Rockruff, because after this, there wasn't anymore gym battles, at least for a long while. So I just decided to not bring it up, as I stepped forwards onto the field and gave my ghost a pat on the head, while the two gym leaders walked forwards and handed me a badge. Looking down at it, I noted it's design, as it was never shown in the show.

It was simple looking, just a round black badge with two white dots on the top with another white dot at the bottom, showing two gym leaders against one trainer. Pulling out my case I slipped the final badge I needed into its slot, ignoring the two gym leaders faces as they saw the other seven I had.

Giving a nod to the two, I turned on my heel and began to walk out of the gym. I need to get to a Pokemon Center, Rockruff took two very powerful and super effective moves, even with his skyrocketed defense with Iron defense, I knew it must have done a lot of damage.


And with that the final badge has been collected, I've said it for most of the battles I've written but this was an interesting fight to write, mostly because of the fact that I've gotten use to writing out bigger battles with stronger Pokemon, so this was interesting by the fact that I had to pull punches, like not using overly complex attack commands from the gym leaders, as they've only had the gym set up for about three weeks, not a lot of time for them to become amazing at working together in a double battle, so they didn't have any combo's made yet.

Also, this chapter goes up about twelve hours before this story has been up for a full month, and this already has over one hundred thousand blood words. That is stupid, my other stories, it took months to get to the hundred thousand word point, and here I did it in under thirty days. Anyway, See ya.
