Ash, Misty, Brock and Marissa entered Vermillion City around
lunchtime. "Wow, I can't believe we are in Vermillion city already! We
would have taken three times as long if either of the boys were leading."
Misty commented. "Well, unlike certain people in the group," Marissa
looked at the boys "I know how to stop and ask the occasional trainer for
directions." "I guess ya got a point there." Misty replied. "Well, Maybe
some people don't NEED directions!" Ash countered. Of course Misty
responded and another one of those fights erupted. Brock shook his head,
"Some things never change." "Pi pika pi" Pikachu agreed.
As Ash and Misty fought the group made their way to the pokecenter to get their pokemon healed. After they handed their pokeballs to nurse Joy they went and got something to eat. Marissa just happened to glance at the pokemon gym as they headed toward the restaurant, "what kinda gym is that?" She asked. "That's an electric type gym" Ash replied "that's where I earned my Thunder Badge." "Ya know, I don't have any Kanto gym badges. Maybe I could earn a Thunder Badge while we are here." "LT. Surge is the leader there, he uses really strong electric pokemon" Misty warned. "Don't worry, Sweetie and I can take on anything together!" Marissa smiled down at the little fire pokemon at her feet.
Ash, Brock, and Misty walked in to the gym the next day not noticing Marissa wasn't with them. "Hey Ash," a loud voice boomed, "What are you doing here? You already earned a Thunder Badge, you don't want a rematch do you?" A tall man with dog tags approached the three trainers. "No sir, one of my friends wants to battle you for the Thunder Badge" the boy explained. "OK," Surge boomed, "which of you two is my next victim?" "Two?" the three looked around in surprise. "Where's Marissa?" wondered Ash. "I thought she was right behind us." Misty replied. "Looks like your friend chickened out." Surge replied.
Just then a young woman with black hair and shades walked in to the gym. "Hey guys, I told you guys to wait while I switch some pokemon, didn't you hear me?" "I guess not" Misty replied. "Some how I am not surprise, the way you and Ash were fighting I'd be surprised if you could hear anything!" "So who did you switch for?" Ash asked. "That's for me to know and every one else in this gym to find out" she smiled.
Surge looked hard at the girl for a second. "Hey Ash, you didn't tell me your sister was fighting me." "Huh? I don't have a sister" "you mean you to aren't related?" Surge asked. "No, we just met a month ad a half ago." "You sure look alike" Surge commented. Misty looked at Marissa, she did look a little like Ash, had the same nose and similar cheeks. Misty couldn't help but wonder if she had the same eyes. After nearly two months they still hadn't seen Marissa with out her sunglasses. 'I wonder why she never takes off those shades' Misty thought to herself.
"Well, are we going to stand here and talk all day or are we going to battle?" Marissa asked growing impatient. "A three on three Battle ok with you?" Surge asked. "That'll be just fine" Marissa smiled at the self assured gym leader. "Three on three Battle no time limit." the gym leader announced.
After a good luck kiss from Brock Marissa took her place at one edge of the area used for battling. Surge took his place at the opposite end. "Prepare to lose baby," he taunted. "First I choose Electrabuzz!" "In that case I call snowflake!" Marissa threw a pokeball. A flash of red died down to reveal a light blue figure on the floor. "Dewgooooong." Ash Misty and Brock fell down anime style. "She even fights like Ash." Misty sighed. "I'll pretend I didn't hear that!" Marissa called over her shoulder. "Hey! What's wrong with the way I fight!?" the young boy demanded.
Surge and Eledtrabuzz started rolling with laughter. "What kinda fool would use a water pokemon in an electric type gym?" Marissa smiled at Dewgong, "Use Ice Beam now!" She commanded. Electrabuzz was laughing to hard to notice, that is till he was hit. Electrabuzz stood up wearily, he hadn't bee frozen but he was weak. "Electrabuzz, use your thunder punch!" surge barked. "Dewgong, use your Aurora Beam" Marissa ordered. Thunder Punch hit home and dewgong screamed in pain, then unleash its fury in its Aurora Beam attack. Electrabuzz reeled for a second then fell backwards. "Electrabuzz is unable to battle!" a voice called over the loud speaker. "Good going Dewgong!" Marissa hugged the water/ice type then called it back in to its pokeball.
"Your good, but not good enough." Surge yelled "I call Voltorb!" "I call Florida!" Marissa tossed the ball. "gloooooom" the flower replied. "Voltorb use Super Sonic" The ball use super sonic. Gloom became confuse. "Gloom Use Petal Dance!" Marissa ordered. "Voltorb use Self Destruct." The ball pokemon exploded. The smoke lifted and dust settled, revealing two fainted pokemon. "Good Job Gloom" Marissa called as she recalled her defeated pokemon.
"last round, prepare to lose baby!" Surge called to his opponent "we'll see about that!" She called back. "Raichu, get in there!" Surge barked at the electric mouse. "Sweetie, show them what we're made of!" she called to her fire pokemon. "Raichu, thunderbolt!" "Sweetie, dodge it then use firespin!" The flareon leapt out of the way as the thunder bolt hit the ground where she had been standing. Then spat a flame that surrounded the Raichu almost instantly. "Raichu, Body Slam!" Raichu jump high in the air and came down hard on top of Sweetie. "Sweetie, use flame thrower then finish with quick attack!" The creature shot a flame out of it mouth, striking Raichu. Raichu was badly burned. Then the Flareon used its quick attack. Raichu squealed then fainted. "Raichu is unable to battle, Marissa wins!" the voice called out over the loud speaker.
"All right we won!" Marissa jumped up and down. "we won we won we won!" she said dancing around. Flareon was just as excited as it was bouncing around like a puppy. "All right here ya go." Surge handed Marissa the Thunder Badge. She knelt in front of Sweetie, "Look, out first Kanto Badge!" she told her pokemon. Then she stood up "I better get the others healed so I can show them!" she took off for the pokecenter.
Later that day they were all sitting around enjoying lunch. Brock was sitting beside Marissa and Ash was sitting across the picnic table with misty. "That was a very interesting battle" Ash said. "I got to know though, why one Earth did you start with dewgong!?" Marissa took a bite of her food then looked at dewgong. Her pokemon were out of their balls and playing nearby, they had earned it. "Well, I had heard from a lot of people about Surges Ego, so I decided I would start with a pokemon that's weak against electric. Just as I figured, he let his guard down, giving us and opportunity to strike first." "I see! Great strategy!" Ash replied. "I'll Say!" Misty agreed.
