Chapter Six:
"So, you think that you are really ready to challenge Blaine?" asked Bonnie,
as she placed a plate of eggs, bacon and toast in front of me. Looking up
into Bonnie's still sleep stricken face, I nodded. I knew that I was as
ready as I would ever be. No use waiting now. If I couldn't beat him now, I
doubt I would ever be able to try again.
"Alright..." sighed Bonnie, as she sat herself down opposite of me, and
started munching away at her scrambled eggs. "Do you want me to tell you the
rules to fighting him? The badge rules?"
"Sure," I said, as I washed my eggs down with a glass of orange juice.
"Okay..." Bonnie said to me. "First, you must know, that there is to be no
cheating. If you are found cheating, then you will be disqualified, and will
never again be let inside the gym. Second, the battle will be three on three,
no exceptions. That's all, I believe. You got all that, Rubia?"
Nodding, I said, "Yep, think I do. Will you come watch me battle?"
"Of course! Blaine wants all the jr. Trainers to watch all his battles. He
says it helps us learn... So I couldn't miss, it even if I wanted to!"
"Okay. So, when will I be able to challenge Blaine?" I asked. I was a little
nervous, since he did know Misty... Would he recognize Rubia?
"You can challenge him now, if you want. I wold suggest that you finish
breakfast, first. Then we can go over to the gym. What do you say?"
"Sounds good to me!" I said, then wolfed down the rest of my breakfast.
When both Bonnie and I had finished our breakfast, I packed up my
possessions, and the two of us headed for the gym. It didn't take us long
before we were inside Blaine's gym.
The heat was nearly unbearable for me, yet it didn't seem to bother Bonnie
one bit.
Gazing about the large, smoldering gym, I saw that there was an fairly old
man, training his Arcanine. Looking closer, I saw that the man was no other
then the gym leader, Blaine.
"Hey, Blaine!" cried Bonnie, as we neared the man, "You have a challenger!"
Turning around, Blaine looked me strait in the eye. "Is that true? Have you
come to try and win my badge, young lady?" he asked, with a smirk on his
face. I guess he could see that I was very uncomfortable in this extreme
heat.
"Yes, I challenge you to a pokemon battle!" I spoke, my voice not even
wavering once.
"Fine. Bonnie, would you please alert the other jr. Trainers?"
"Sure!" called Bonnie, as she ran out of the gym, to one of the training
grounds out back.
Smiling, and shaking his head, he murmured, "That Bonnie... So full of energy...
Amazing that she hasn't already left..." Looking at me, Blaine asked in a
friendly tone, "So, what's your name, miss?"
"Rubia Springleaf, sir," I answered him, trying to be polite.
"Nice to meat you, Rubia. As you know, my name is Blaine." Looking me over,
he asked, "Have I seen you before? You do look awfully familiar..."
"No, I don't think so, sir. This is my first time being here on Cinnabar,"
I lied, hoping he didn't see through my little fib...
"Okay." Blaine dismissed, and then asked me, "So, it seems that you and
Bonnie know each other, right?"
"Yes. We met each other last night, and she was kind enough to show me
around town a little bit, and to the gym..."
"Hm, yes, she is the type to make new friends very easily..."
Just then, about seven trainers, including Bonnie herself, came rushing
inside, eager to see the battle that would unfold before their eyes.
"Bonnie!" called Blaine.
"Yes?" she asked with a smile, as she straitened her red tank top, and
dusted off her blue jeans.
"Would you please do the honor of refereeing this match?"
Grinning like mad, the teenage girl squealed, "Yes! Of course, sir!" This
must be a great honor for Bonnie, since she seemed so excited.
Running to the center of the large battle field, the Bonnie yelled, "The
battle for the Cinnabar Gym badge shall commence! The challenger, Rubia
Springleaf! The defender, Blaine! The match will be a three on three pokemon
battle. No time limit! Let the battle begin!"
"Right!" I called, as I grabbed one of the poke balls from my pack. "Go!
Staryu!" I cried as I threw the ball. The white and red sphere bounced once
on the ground, then opened up, sending Staryu onto the hard surface of the
battle arena.
Blaine smirked, and said, "Ah, a water type... Let me tell you, Rubia, that
it is not always type that wins you a battle against a fire pokemon.
Let's go, Arcanine!"
The wolf-like pokemon leapt into the arena at his masters command, and
started to growl at Staryu.
"Alright, Staryu!" I yelled, as I eyed the orange striped dog in front of my
little golden star, "Use your flying tackle, followed by a water gun!"
"Arcanine! Agility!" Blaine cried, as Staryu flew towards his target...
Nearly too fast to see, Arcanine, who only looked like a orange streak to me
at the time, ran about the arena, sending dust into the air... Staryu tried
to chase it, but he wasn't fast enough. How was I suppose to win this, if
Staryu couldn't even hit that dog?
"Staryu! Stop!" I had an idea... Not even a week ago, Staryu had mastered a
new technique, and now, I am thankful that he did...
I knew that it wouldn't hurt Arcanine too much, but at least it would slow
him down...
"Staryu! Blizzard!" I cried, hoping that that would slow the dog down long
enough for Staryu to use one of his more powerful water attacks.
Sure enough, it worked! The blast of ice that came from Staryu hit the
orange blur strait on, sending it toppling to the ground. As soon as it hit
the ground, I called, "Staryu, use your water gun attack!"
A fairly large spray of water flew from the top spike of my Staryu, and shot
towards its target, hitting it dead on. In a cry of pain, Arcanine fell to
the floor, unconscious.
'Well, that was easy...' I mused, as I thought about how much trouble Ash
had battling Blaine.
"Arcanine is unable to battle! The first round goes to Rubia!" I heard Bonnie
cry.
"Good work, Arcanine!" cried Blaine, as he called back the large orange
wolf-like creature. "Good job, Rubia, you defeated the weakest of my pokemon!
I'm afraid you wont have such an easy time with this one!"
In a blast of red light and flame, the strong, muscular build of a orange
and gold dragon appeared, its tail engulfed in flame...
"Charizard!" Blaine called, before I could even think of an attack that
would work against a giant like this, "Use your tackle attack!"
"Staryu! Get out of the way!" I cried, but I was too late...
With a force that could knock over a solid brick wall, Charizard hit Staryu,
sending it flying out of the ring, nearly missing me, and into a near by
cement wall. The soft chiming of Staryu could be heard over Charizard's
cries of triumph, telling me it could fight no more.
"Staryu is unable to battle! This round goes to Blaine!" Bonnie cried, as I
called Staryu back.
After calling my star back, I turned back to see Blaine smirking...
I would wipe that stupid smirk off his face...
