Alright time for the first Gym battle, It was a fun one to write so I hope you enjoy, also Double D's Eevee will be female and a Glaceion due to both of them having the majority of votes (Flareon was second) now for the Reviews!
Engineer1869: Chan just needs a dark type in the team to evolve at level 32 and the party has one already with Gene. For Gene, it just needs to be night at 35 for him to do so.
The Afterdreamer: It's more the latter but only one battle will be shown, just to save time and me repeating myself.
Pikminfan: For Toxel... you'll see next chapter ;p
Imagi: On the whole little sister Eevee thing... Maybe but there's one big thing to note, the Eds won't be backtracking unless it's necessary (Like going back to the wild area for example) so maybe Nazz could catch it and also while you are right on that most EEnE/Pokemon fics don't have the Eds catch the same pokemon, I recommend you read Rainbow Rocket Edscendant to get somewhat of a taste of that.
That night at the Pokemon center the Eds were discussing their gym battle in the morning and what strategies they would use for it. "So sockhead who's our opponent for our first gym battle tomorrow?" Eddy said eating a burger that he bought for dinner.
Checking the info on his Rotom phone Double D showed the Ed's a picture of the farmer from back at the ceremony. "Well it would be Milo, he specializes in grass type Pokémon, so in my eyes Monarch and Betrace will be getting most of the battling tomorrow."
Eddy nodded "Alright then, Willow will probably help me a lot, especially with her new evolution, maybe Chuffy as well, haven't tried him yet, what about you Lumpy?"
Ed put his hand on his chin. "I'm gonna use Oscar and spew the weed killer of justice on my enemies!"
As the Ed's were continuing their conversation, their Pokémon were watching intently. "(Looks like I'll be getting a lot of action tomorrow, can't wait to see how I'll stand against the gym leaders Pokémon with this new evolution.)" Willow said doing some jabs in the air.
"(This evolution thing is still so weird…)" James said looking at his green mitten hands as Kong gave him a small tap on the back to comfort him. "(Relax James this is cool! I mean can you believe that I learned a new move on top of evolving!)" he said spinning his two sticks.
"(Well don't get too cocky, you don't have a type advantage at the first gym.)" Willow noted as Gene walked over.
"(Kinda a shame I won't be able to preform at the first part of our tour, but I got my time to shine against that white haired boy.)" He mused as Eddy's Rolycoly rolled over.
"(Honestly I wanted to get out of that stupid cave, not enough room to roll around especially with those carkols knocking me around.)" Chuffy explained as he talked about his experiences in the mines to the starters.
Meanwhile Mary was getting acquainted with the other normal type traveling with them. "(So you're an Eevee eh, must be thinking about evolution right?)"
Double D's Eevee now named Eva nodded. "(Yea But it's so hard, what if I want to be a Flareon or a umbreon, or even a sylveon! It's so annoying!)" She said in frustration.
Mary calmly nodded. "(Ah, I see, well I can't really help you decide, but I say you'll probably know when it's time.)"
Eva nodded. "(I hope so…)" She noted with her ears drooping. Ed's new pikachu named Sparky hopped over, "(Well I guess we're gonna hear thunderous applause! It'll be quite a shock for us!)" He joked.
"(Well I'm crossing Jolteon off the list if I end up making puns like that.)" Eva said annoyed. "(Oh come on Eva it'll be nice to have another electric type to power things up!)" Sparky laughed at his own joke as Eva groaned as a response.
Meanwhile near the Galarian caves, The Cul De sacers were camping out for the night using the tents Johnny bought with most of his cash. "I gotta say Johnny these tents are nice, you sure you don't mind spending most of your cash on them?)" Nazz asked as she roasted a hot dog.
Johnny waved it off with his Grookey (Named Drummer) climbing on his shoulder. "Nah, Plank said that we'll really need them and besides we got all those berries Chunky found."
Nazz nodded as Rolf was preparing some sort of dinner for himself and his Pokemon in a stew pot he had brought from home, Wilfred was sleeping neaby as Rolf's pokemon were looking in the bowl. "Ah Maximus and Ignis (His Scorbunny), try some of Rolf's stew, it's an old family recipe."
He used a ladle to pour some into some smaller bowls which the pokemon lapped up excitedly making Rolf smile with pride.
Soon Kevin returned with his team beside him, looking confident. "Me and my team have been training hard, this first gym will be no challenge!" He said returning his three mons as he relaxed.
Rolf drank some of his stew shaking his head. "Don't be so confident hot-shot kevin boy, we must get through the caves before we fight our first challenge." Kevin nodded as he leaned against a log and put his hat over his eyes falling asleep, he'd worry about that stuff tomarrow, for now he needed some rest.
The next morning the Eds walked out of the Pokemon center ready to take on the gym challenge. "Look out Galar, here comes Eddy!" He said ready to get the gym battle started.
Double D however noticed someone in the distance that he recognized, "Fellows it's my cousin Sonia we should at least visit her before our first gym challenge."
Eddy sighed but nodded. "Fine but let's make it quick I wanna get this battle over with."
When they met up with Sonia she seemed like she was ready to see them, "Nice to see you three agian, I actually wanted to see you boys before your gym challenge." She said relieved.
"What for cousin?" Double D asked she motioned for the trio to follow her as they reached a hillside showing some sort of alien drawing drawn on the side. "Crop circles! The Aliens are coming!" Ed panicked due to his movie monster experiences.
"It's not aliens Ed, this is a geoglyph, large designs in the ground formed by rocks." Double D explained as Sonia nodded. "Right Double D, what do you guys think of this geoglyph then?" she asked.
"It looks like a giant monster…" Ed said looking at it. Eddy shrugged, "I agree with the lump, what is that some sort of mega pokemon?"
Sonia nodded, "Correct, allow me to elaborate on it a little further, a long time ago… a great black storm covered the Galar region, giant pokemon ran rampant, but what was that black storm they called the "Darkest Day"? What connection does it have to dynamax?" She finished with her hand on her chin.
"Guess i'll be the lucky lady looking into that, Gran sure gives me a lot to do, thanks for your input boys, I got some stuff from gran to give you guys." She took out 3 containers for the trio which they took.
"These are box ports, with them you swap around your party once you get 6 Pokemon, but only out of battle of course, since you have to go to a pokemon center to do it manually." She explained.
"Neat some convenience for us.." Eddy said putting his in his backpack, Sonia then handed the boys a small card with a picture of the gym leader on it. "What is this his business card?" Eddy said.
"Actually it's his trainer card, basically there collectables in Galar, you can even make your own in the pokemon center." Ed seemed excited at these. "Cool, I wanna get them all!" He smiled looking at the Milo card.
"Great can we go now, we have a gym challenge to do!" Eddy said now getting impatient. "Of course, we'll have to see you later Aunt, wish us luck for the Gym challenge!" Ed said before the trio went towards the stadium in the distance.
When they arrived they saw Hop looking pretty happy as he walked out. "Take a look at this guys!" He said showing a small metal item he got.
"Looks like a peice of junk." Eddy said bluntly.
"It's not! It's my first gym badge! I got it on my first try!" He boasted with his arms crossed. "I reckon i'm just about the greatest when it comes to herding Wooloo."
"Well I got an idea for when we take the gym ourselves, we'll have that badge by lunch time!" Eddy smirked.
"Well I wish you guys luck, I'm going back to the pokemon center to heal my team, catch you guys later!" Hop said running off as the Eds entered the stadium.
When the Eds entered the reception they saw a man with a pokeball uniform standing around clearly some sort of mascot for the gym challenge, and Woman in front of a door in the center the Eds went to her ready to challenge Milo.
"Welcome Gym challengers, allow me to help you with registration! First of all, how about a refresher on the gym challenge, your goal as gym challengers is to complete the gym mission in each gym then challenge the gym leader and collect all 8 badges." The Eds nodded at this.
"Yea we heard it all before, can we go in the room now?" Eddy asked as the woman nodded. "Of course just change into your gym uniform and head on in!"
After a quick change of attire the Eds proceeded into a huge room filled with Wooloo. As a man wearing a uniform walked to the boys to explain the gym challenge. "Look boys all you gotta do to get to the stadium is to herd the Wooloo to the blockades so they can knock it down, it's as simple as that."
Eddy smirked, "Oh Ed?" He said in a sing songy voice.
"Yea Eddy?" He asked curiously. As Eddy simply pointed to the Wooloo, "Herd those sheep will ya?"
Ed gave a salute as he went on all fours, "I am a dog, fear me sheep! Meow!" He said running towards the wooloo as the other two Eds followed as the Gym coach just looked gobsmacked at the big Ed's behavior.
Having Ed as a makeshift sheepdog seemed to work well, as he lead the Wooloo through the course pretty easily, even making some of the Yamper that were used as obstacles for the gym challengers move away in confusion.
However they had to stop to fight the trainers and Eddy was just finishing his fight with a trainers Oddish using Chuffy. "Alright Chuffy let's end this with smack down!" Eddy ordered as chuffy launched a small rock at the Oddish smacking it and Ko'ing it.
"Nice one Chuffy." Eddy smiled patting his rock monster as it glowed brightly as it changed form. "Awesome you're evolving!" As the light cleared Cuffy resembled the minecarts the trio saw in the mines, Eddy's pokedex rang with a notification.
"Carkol, the Coal pokemon: By rapidly rolling its legs, it can travel at over 18 mph. The temperature of the flames it breathes exceeds 1,800 degrees Fahrenheit." Eddy whisted at that, as Chuffy sped around happily. "Talk about hot stuff! Perfect for the first gym!"
Double D nodded, "Congrats Eddy, let's go towards our first gym battle, the doors right there." Eddy returned Chuffy as he nodded. Patting Eds head the trio headed up the stairs to a green door with a leaf on it.
As they walked through the tunnel Ed was excited to fight the gym leader, "Can I go first Eddy?" He asked curiously.
"What? No way it's my time in the spotlight!" Eddy argued, Double D noticed Ed pouting and spoke up for him.
"Now Eddy, Ed did help us through the gym challenge, he should be able to fight first." Eddy sighed and relented. "Alright but i'm going next!"
The Eds entered the stadium as Ed went to the Center as Milo did the same from the other side. When the two reached the Center Ed and Milo faced off.
"My gym's the first one people face, so we get a lot of challengers." Milo told Ed as the big Ed listened intently "That's why I try to keep the gym mission challenging, but… that didn't stop you!" He chuckled.
"Sure seems like you understand pokemon real well." Milo noted, as Ed nodded. "Yup I love my monster allies!"
Milo adjusted his hat. "This is gonna be a real doozy of a battle, I might even have to dynamax my pokemon if I want to win!"
"Let us duel!" Ed yelled as the two made some space in between each other as both of them tossed out their first pokemon, Ed Tossed out Mary as Milo tossed out a small flower pokemon. Soon red energy entered Ed and Milo's dynamax bands making them glow.
"Gossifleur, use Round!" The small flower sang a small song damaging Mary a little bit, "Use your Double Kick on the Pretty rose!"
Mary rolled over to the Gossifleur and bucked it twice with it's hooves knocking it back a little. "Use rapid spin to lower her down some more!" The Gossifleur hopped over and spun into the small sheep making her tired.
"Tackle the flower into fainting!" Ed told his sheep as she slammed into the Gossifleur making it faint.
"Nice one my little sheep buddy!" Ed complimented the small sheep Pokemon as it gave a happy bleat as a response.
"Woohoo! We're not gonna be done in that easily! We're tough as Weeds!" Milo said taking out a yellow and black pokeball and tossing a pokemon resembling a small dandelion wearing a cloak.
"We shall exterminate you Weed leader!" Ed said with Mary giving a determined bleat with him. Milo smirked "Come on then, it's dynamax time! You're about to be uprooted!" He returned his Pokemon as the Audience started to roar with cheers.
His ultra ball turned into a reddish pokeball that was much larger, patting it twice he Launched into the air. With an explosion of energy the dandelion pokemon was massive, making the Eds jaws drop in awe.
"Holy cow! How did that flower get so big!" Eddy said almost speechless. "That must be the dynamax phenomenon, fascinating!" Double D said in awe.
Ed got a determined glare, "Use double kick on the kaiju plant!" Mary nodded as she rolled over to do a double kick, but it didn't even make it flinch with both kicks.
"Wow, such power…" Ed said shocked, "If you think that's powerful get a load of this! Max strike Eldegoss" Suddenly underneath the small wooloo cracks in the earth appeared as beam of energy broke through hurting the small sheep badly.
When the light cleared Mary fainted making Ed pout as he returned her. Grabbing another pokeball he seemed ready again. "Use your toxic abilities Oscar!" Ed said tossing out his Trubbish who smiled for his first gym battle.
"Hmm, Ed has a good idea using Oscar, Poison types are useful against grass types." Edd noted as Eddy was still waiting for his match as he read the Curry book.
The tiny gears in Eds head turned as he had an idea for Oscar, he did what Milo did with Eldegoss, he returned Oscar as the red energy in his bracelet make the ball grow, Spinning with it three times he tossed it behind him releasing the huge Trubbish.
"Use your maximum strike!" Ed yelled as Eldegoss was blasted by the pillar of light that made Mary faint but this time doing significant damage..
"Not bad kid, here's our signature move, Max leafage!" Eldegoss fired three huge seeds from it's mouth which landed around Oscar before growing into mushrooms dealing damage, as a green mist formed around the arena.
"Use your Maximum sludge!" Ed said as Trubbish seemed to be pretty happy about the move as the arena shake before geysers of sludge erupted from the floor heavily damaging the Eldegoss.
Soon it erupted in a huge explosion as Milo returned it, soon Oscar shrank down to his normal size as he went to hug Ed happily as the two hopped around Milo rubbed his head awkwardly. "The power of Grass has wilted, what an incredible gym challenger allow me to give you the grass badge!" He gave Ed some prize money and the first gym badge.
"Thank you strong Gardner!" Ed smiled as he trotted to his friends who were waiting for him. "Excellent work Ed, Congrats on getting your first gym badge!" Double D said patting him on the back.
"Aw thanks guys, I wouldn't have done it without my team!" Ed said smiling. "Yea it's cool, now for Eddy's turn!" Eddy said entering the Ring ready for his match with Milo.
Eddy's match with Milo was much quicker using Chuffy during the first round especially with him learning flame charge however he was knocked out when Eldegoss dynamaxed and Willow took his place, Dynamaxing herself and Ko'ing Eldegoss afterwards.
Double D took a little bit lounger using both of his bug types with Monarch being Ko'd against Eldegoss and Betrace Ko'ing it after dynamaxing. Soon all three Eds had their first gym badge.
Later at the pokemon center the Eds were mostly preparing for the next leg of their journey with Eddy making his own trainer card, and Edd reading about the TM he got from the woman after exiting the stadium as Ed was spinning it on the table, soon they'd head off towards route 5 where the journey continues…
