Chap 9:- "Get The Badge"
The pokemon in the gym let out shrill cries of excitement as they gathered around to watch the battle.
Karrie reaches down and pulls out 3 pokeballs and throws them.
A Golduck,Bellosom, and Quilavia emerge from them.
Karrie: "We'll use pokemon each for this battle. The last one standing wins"
Ash also takes out his pokeballs.
Ash: "Sounds good to me"
Ash's Chikorita, and Cndaquil Appears.
Karrie: "Alright then, Lets begin. I Choose you Bellosom."
Ash: "You go first cyndaquil."
Brock Smiles on the sidelines
Brock: "Good choice Ash."
Cyndaquil and Bellosom stare each other down as their owners prepare to give orders.
Ash: "Okay, this should be easy, hit it with flame-thrower attack."
Cyndaquil breathes in a huge breath of air and shoots a wall of flame out of it's mouth straight toward Belloson.
Karrie: (shouts) "Bellosom…..Evade!"
Bellosom lunges off to the side and barely manages to move out of the way in time.
Ash: (surprised) "Huh???"
Karrie: (cheers) "Yes…Now use your special attack."
Ash stands in a stupor as he watches Bellosoms mouth starts to glow.
He recovers just as The hyper beam spouts out of the pokemons mouth.
Ash: (screams) "Watch out for it's Hyper Beam!"
But it was too late, The Hyper Beam made a direct hit on CyndaQuil.
The Force of the blast sends Cndaquil flying into the gym wall with a bang.
Brock: (Shocked) "No way"
Misty: "Bellosom can use hyperbeam?"
Hakeo: "well done Granddaughter"
Karrie: (smiles) "I only learn from the best"
Ash quickly runs to his fallen comrade and lifts up the limp pokemon.
Ash: (Smiles weakly) "Sorry Cyndaquil…I never expected something like that. You can take a good rest now."
He recalls Cyndaquil and turns to Chikorita.
Ash: "You're up next Chikorita."
Chikorita Stares menacingly at Bellosom.
Ash: "Okay, use your razorleaf."
Karrie: "jump over the attack and use flying headbutt."
Bellosom jumps over and fly's straight at Chikorita.
Ash: (Concerned) "Hurry, dodge it Chikorita."
Chikorita dodges the attack and Bellosom hits head first on the floor.
Ash: (excited) "Tackle it"
Chikorita slams into Bellosom and sends it skidding into the ground.
It struggles to stand but falls back down…Defeated.
Karrie: "Return Bellosom."
Karrie recalls Bellosom and turns to the smiling Ash.
Karrie: "Pretty good Ash, But this is just the beginning. It's your turn now Golduck."
But Golduck doesn't move . It looks scared as It's eyes wonder the gym looking for some unknown danger
Karrie: (confused) "Golduck, what's wrong?"
Pikachu: (onguard) " Pika.."
Ash looks over and sees pikachu's cheeks sparking.He too seems to be uncomfortable all of a sudden.
Ash: (Frowns) "Something's wrong…."
At that second all of the pokemon inside the gym started crying out loudly.
They all have a look of dreadful fear on their faces.
The room is filled with intense light from outside.
Misty: (Confused) "what's going on"?
Then…the Report of an explosion shoots through the gym.
The Building shakes violently and everyone is knocked to their feet.
The pokemon recover first and get in a defensive stance now howling and crying out as loud as they can.
Brock: (screams) "What the….?"
Before the Humans can get to their feet an even larger blast hits.
The force of the shock wave rips a gaping hole in the side of the gym from top to bottom.
Screams from people outside mingle with the cries of the pokemon.
A large piece of rubble falls down and barely misses crushing Ash.
Smaller pieces start to rain down on them, painfully pelting them with concrete and other things.
As they try to shield themselves from the Shower they hear Karries voice.
Karrie: (Shouts) "We've got to get out of here!!!"
