Chapter 7: Eyes, ears, mouth and Nosepass

Rustboro City. Finally. I knew my plan; take on the Gym immediately.

I got there, but there was a notice on the door.

"Sorry, at Rustboro Trainer's School. Roxanne".

Well I guess that would be my next stop.

I went in and found a class of children sitting in front of a desk. Teaching the glass was a young teenager in a blue dress. "So as you know, if a Pokémon is paralyzed, then it's speed also decreases". She noticed me. "Well, we seem to have a guest. Gym Leader Norman's son. Come on in".

She brought me up. "So. Why are you here?" I eyed her and she smiled. "Well class. I think it's time for a little field trip to the Gym." A girl put her hand up. "But Roxanne, we weren't given a permission slip for our parents to sign." Roxanne gave a small laugh. "You won't need it. I am going to battle this young man. We are going to the Gym." The whole class cheered.

We all went over. The Gym was huge and made of rocks. All the students gathered round as Roxanne made her way to the end of the battlefield. "Welcome to the Rustboro City Gym. My name is Roxanne and I will be your opponent. Don't mess this up, children are watching."

Roxanne started with Geodude.

Geodude

057

Rock/Ground Type

Rock Pokémon

1'04" (0.4 m)

44.1 lbs (20 kg)

The longer a Geodude lives, the more its edges are chipped and worn away, making it more rounded in appearance. However, this Pokémon's heart will remain hard, craggy and rough always.

I started with Dustox. "Now kids. Dustox is a Bug Type and is therefore at a disadvantage against Rock Type moves.". I started with Dustox's new move, Confusion. Dustox's antennas started to glow as Geodude was hit with a small blast of Psychic energy. "Allow me to demonstrate with Rock Tomb!" Roxanne shouted. Geodude started summoning boulders from everywhere. It then caved Dustox in with the boulders. It did a lot of damage and Duxtox's speed fell. Dustox was almost down but one more move could maybe be brought in. It used Confusion again. Geodude was now at half damage. Geodude used Rock Tomb again and Dustox was knocked out.

"Go Roxanne go!" one of the students shouted. I recalled Dustox and sent out Mudkip. "This is more like it" Roxanne said. "A Water Type like Mudkip can knock out Geodude." Knock it out it did. Mudkip washed Geodude away with Water Gun.

"You are putting up a good match" Roxanne mentioned. "But let's see how you do against my strongest Pokémon!" The class cheered as a rocky Pokémon with a giant red nose emerged onto the battlefield.

Nosepass

060

Rock Type

Compass Pokémon

3'03" (1 m)

213.8 lbs (97 kg)

Nosspass's magnetic nose is always pointed to the north. If two of these Pokémon meet, they cannot turn their faces to each other when they are close because their magnetic noses repel one another.

Mudkip gave Nosepass a good spray down with Water Gun. Nosepass came back with Rock Tomb again. Mudkip's speed was lowered but that didn't matter. Mudkip used Water Gun again and defeated Nosepass!

"Congratulations" Roxanne told me. The class was crying. "Wahhh Roxanne lost!" they said. She gave me a Gym Badge. "This is the Stone Badge. I will also give you TM39, which means you can teach one of your Pokémon Rock Tomb. You know, I am only a trainee teacher" she said. "But I think the two of us gave this class a lesson that they will never forget."

That night, I sat on a bench and looked at my Gym Badge. My first step to conquering the Gym's of Hoenn.

At the same time, I couldn't shake the feeling about Johto. I had only been here a week and I was still missing it.
