Ch 8: -The Unity Badge
By 8 A.M the rain of the previous night had stopped. Bright Sunshine now shined into the room in which our heroes slept.
Ash was the first to wake up. He sits up in bed and lets out a loud yawn as he rubs his sleep filled eyes.
After stretching he walks to the window and takes in the beautiful sunshine streaming in.
He just happens to glance down at the sleeping bags and gasps.
Team Rocket is now Gone!
Ash: (Upset) "OH NO!"
He franticly runs to his bed.
Ash: (Shouts) " Pikachu, Pikachu, Where are you?"
He sighs in relief as pikachu sticks its head questionably from under the bed.
Ash's Shouting wakes his friends and they stare at him with wonder with their tired eyes.
Misty: (Tired) "What's wrong Ash"
Ash: (Serious) "Team Rocket is gone"!
They jump up almost immediately.
Brock: (Harsh) "Are the backpacks gone?"
Ash looks over and sees that the backpacks are still in a pile on the floor.
They walk over and carefully go through their backpacks checking to see if anything had been stolen. Ash puts down his backpack; a puzzled expression rests on his face.
Ash: (Confused) "Everything's here".
Brock: "So is mine."
Misty: "Mine to, I can't believe it"
Ash scratches his head in confusion and sits down on the bed.
Brock: 'well, Maybe Team Rockets not so bad after all."
Ash looks at Brock and nods his head.
Ash: "Yeah, Maybe you're right"
………………………………………………………………………………………………
It was a bout an hour later when they finally stepped out of The Inn.
Brock took out his handy Guidebook while misty played around with Togepi.
The town was already busy with activity. People chattered noisily as they walked down the street.
They stopped at a busy intersection to get their bearings
Ash breathed in a huge puff of morning air and let it out.
Misty: (Smiles) "It's such a pretty morning".
Ash: (Laughs) "I'm no t here to see the scenery, all I care Abu t right now is getting that next Badge".
Brock: "In that case, the guide book says the Bama Town Gym is…That way!"
He Points down a southbound road across the intersection.
Ash: (Excited) "Then what are we waiting for? Come on guys"!
Ash carelessly runs across the intersection with pikachu close behind.
He turns around after crossing and beckons them to cross
The others look both ways and cross also.
As they walk further and further down the road, the Gym comes into view.
The Gym Towers high Into the Sky
It's Bright Metallic Decorations glimmer and shine in the early morning sun.
Misty: (Awe struck) " It's Beautiful"
Ash: (Amazed) "I've never seen a gym this big before."
Minutes later they reach their destination and Ash Steps onto the porch of the gym.
Brock Stoops down and touches the shiny floor.
Brock: (Impressed) "I think it's made of marble".
Voice: "Very observant"
They all look and see an old man making his way toward them with the help of a cane.
He stops and rests his weight fully on the cane.
Man: (smiles) "So….are you here to challenge the gym leader?"
Ash pushes by Brock and steps to the head of the group.
Ash: (Excited) "Yes sir we are!"
There is a brief pause before he asks the question that is most on his mind.
Ash: "Are you, the gym leader?"
Man: "I'm Afraid not son but you're close enough. My Grand daughter is the one you want to see. Would you like me to introduce you to her?"
Ash: (Excited) " Yeah… I think I would like that."
Man: (smiles) "very well then, please follow me."
He turns and walks into the gym. Ash and the others follow him into the main room the travelers gasp in awe at the beautiful construction of the gym.
Thick foliage hangs from the ceiling. Lava Pits as well as Pools of water dot the floor of the entire building. And gravel seems to make up the floor of the gym.
Pokemon of almost every type are scattered throughout the gym, each to it's own environment
Brock: (amazed) "what kind of gym is this?"
Man: "My Grand daughter firmly believes that all pokemon are equal no matter how neglected or weak"
Misty: (awe struck) "How do you Take care of all these pokemon?"
Man: "The League Funds us….Karrie is a very good breeder and trainer"
Ash: (Smiles)" So She's pretty good?"
Man: "Yes, very good".
Ash: (Excited) "Well in that case, bring on the battle."
The old man cups his hands and looks up into the foliage.
Man: (shouts) "Karrie, Come down, I have a new challenger for you"
Girl's Voice: "Coming Grand Father."
Without warning, a girl flies out of the brush swinging on a vine.
She lets go and lands gracefully in front of them.
She Brushes leaves and twigs out of her strawberry colored hair and stares at the newcomers.
Karrie: "Who is this Grandpa?"
Ash steps up and starts to speak.
Ash: "I'm Ash Ketchum from Pallet town in Kanto."
Misty: "I'm Misty From Cerulean City."
Brock looks lovingly at the beautiful girl.
Brock: (blushes) "I'm…Brock…I think!"
The young Gym leader flashes a dazzling bright smile.
Karrie: (Smiling) "It's nice to meet you all. I'm Karrie, and this is my Grandfather, Hakeo."
Hakeo Bows politely
They Bow back and Ash walks up to Karrie.
Ash: " Karrie I'd like to challenge you to a gym battle"
She smiles at this remark and takes three pokeballs out of her jacket.
Karrie: (Smiles) "okay…But you'd better be good if you ever hope to get my Unity Badge.'
Ash: (smiles back) "Bring it on."
