Part 3



"Bulbasaur tackle attack!" Jordan commanded.

Bulbasaur charged towards Weedle. The attack connected. Weedle got back up in a daze, it stumbled around for a second before shaking it off.

"Weedle counter attack with Poison sting!" Terry ordered.

Weedle shot towards Bulbasaur and hit him with it's stinger.

"BULBA!" Bulbasaur yelled in pain.

"Bulbasaur!" Jordan yelled.

"Bulbasaur! Vine whip!"

Bulbasaur nodded and shot two scraggily vines out of his back and slapped Weedle across the face twice. Weedle flew back and fainted.

"Yes! I'm half way there!" Jordan yelled happily.

"BULBA!" Yelled Bulbasaur.

"Think so huh, Beedrill!" Beedrill seemed to fly out of nowhere.

"Beedrill! Poison sting.

Beedrill flew towards Bulbasaur incredibly fast and slashed him with it's stingers. This turned out to be even more painful than Weedle's attack.

"Bulbasaur! Don't give up! Vine whip!"

Bulbasaur shot the two thin vines out of it's back and slapped Beedrill twice, causing it fall out of the air.

Beedrill hit the ground but got back up quickly.

"Tackle it Beedrill!"

Beedrill shot towards Bulbasaur and slammed it's body into it.

Bulbasaur slowly got back up and began tot tense it's muscles up tightly.

"What's going on?" Jordan asked.

"BULBASAUR learned razor leaf." His Pokedex reported from his pocket.

"Wow! Razor leaf! I didn't think he learned that until he was Ivysaur! Ok Bulbasaur hit Beedrill with Razor leaf!" Jordan yelled.

Bulbasaur nodded and shot two razor sharp spiraling leafs at Beedrill, the two leafs sliced Beedrill's wings, causing it to immediately fall out of the air.

Bulbasaur charged at Beedrill and slammed into it, immediately knocking it out.

"YES!!!!!!!" Jordan screamed happily. "I WON A BADGE!!!!"

"BULBASAUR!!!!" Bulbasaur yelled happily.

"That was a good battle Jordan."

"Thanks Terry, sorry about Beedrill's wings." Jordan said.

"It's alright, Beedrill's wings grow back almost as fast as fingernails." Terry said. "Stay cool." Terry said.

"You two."

Jordan ran past me, probably heading to the Pokemon center.

He stopped and turned at the door, "Good luck Will, be back in a flash."

I turned back to face Terry.

"Let's go!" I yelled, calling out Squirtle.

"Ok, Metapod!" Terry yelled. His green Metapod Rolled out onto the battlefield and got up into a 'standing' position.

"Ok Squirtle! Hit Metapod with Watergun!" I said.

Squirtle nodded and spat out a thick, powerful stream of water at Metapod. Metapod was shot back a few feet, but hopped back up quickly.

"Metapod, harden now!" Terry said.

Metapod began to lightly glow before stopping.

"What the?" I asked. I pulled out my Pokedex.

"HARDEN. Metapod's only attack, raises defense." It reported.

"Ok Squirtle hit it with a spinning tackle!" I said.

"Squirt." Squirtle replied.

Squirtle began to run towards Metapod, he then jumped into the air and pulled his head, arms, legs and tail into his shell and began rapidly spinning. He spiraled towards Metapod and slammed into the small cocoon, sending it flying back.

Squirtle pulled himself back out of his shell.

"SQUIRTLE!" He yelled happily.

"Metapod, um harden again."

Metapod's defense grew.

"Tackle it Squirtle!" Squirtle charged towards Metapod, and head butted him extremely hard, sending him flying back into Terry's arms.

"Ok, you win this part." He put down Metapod. "Beedrill! I choose you!" He yelled, Terry's second Beedrill flew out from behind him to face off with Squirtle.

"Ok Beedrill! Twin needle attack!" Terry ordered.

Beedrill shot towards Squirtle with his stinger's extended.

"Squirtle quick withdraw!" I said. Squirtle jumped into the air and pulled himself into his shell.

Beedrill slashed Squirtle's shell with it's stinger's but it did no good, just hitting the shell and making a light scrape.

"Squirtle! Hit Beedrill with spinning tackle!" I yelled.

"Squirtle." Squirtle said, nodding. Squirtle began to run towards Beedrill, he then jumped into the air and pulled his head, arms, legs and tail into his shell and began rapidly spinning. He spiraled towards Beedrill, and slammed into Beedrill, sending him flying to the ground.

"Nice hit Squirtle!" I yelled happily.

I could tell Beedrill was getting weaker because Squirtle had just given him his hardest hit ever, I was proud of my Pokemon.

Beedrill struggled to get back up.

"Alright Squirtle we're almost there! Hit Beedrill with a bubble attack!" I commanded.

Before Squirtle attacked I noticed Jordan came back into the gym.

Squirtle nodded and spat out hundreds of tiny bubble's at beedrill. The bubbles floated through the air and popped right over Beedrill soaking it in three feet of water, which washed out under our feet.

"I can't believe it." Terry said. "I can't let Beedrill go on any farther, you win."

"YES!!!!!!!!" I screamed happily, jumping into the air.

"Squirt!" Yelled Squirtle as we jumped into the air.

I noticed that Squirtle was weak and tired as I walked over to receive my badge.

I called Squirtle back and accepted my Stinger badge as Jordan did also.

We walked out of the gym and down the street to the pokemon center.

"I can't believe it." I said. "I won my first gym battle."

"Yeah, it's great."

We walked into the Pokemon center to get our Pokemon healed. After that we

decided to continue our hike.

"Where's the next gym?" Jordan asked.

I opened the map and looked around.

"Somewhere called Blue Valley." I said.

"Cool, how far is it?" Jordan asked.

"Well, we hike out of Green city towards Green forest, we've gotta go through the forest in order to get to Blue Valley to challenge Kara, the Blue Valley gym master." I said.

"Great. Let's go!"
