Chapter 4: Pewter City Punchout!
---

Ramza and his team of pokemon raced down the hill towards the pokeshop that stood in the distance, they were out of potions and pokeballs, not to mention they couldn't stand any more of Scorpio's 'rations' as he calls them.

Aries heard from his trainer that there was a museum in Pewter city and wanted to visit it. Cancer knew about the tough trainers in the area and wanted to level up. Gemini wanted to buy some Pokemon Trading Cards Aquapolis set. And Scorpio wanted to look at the new model army rifle. 'Typical.' Ramza rolled his eyes as he thought.

When he and his team had reached the town, Ramza gave each pokemon some money and ID Tags so that nobody would try to catch them. The only way to remove ID Tags was if the trainer inputs a password that were unique and hard to guess. Cancer headed toward the Gym to try on a few trainers. Aries went to the museum to study the fossils and artifacts. Gemini headed towards the resident Collecter's Den. While Scorpio took out his Army Identification Card and went to the Police Station.

Ramza pushed the button near the door and it opened, he stepped through the door, looking around at the merchandise. He took out some Pokeballs, Potions and Repels, after that, he went towards the Technical Machine area and bought a few TMs ranging from 88-96. He took the items to the counter and payed the money for it. As he was waiting, he spotted about twenty pokeballs and a few bags holding something, he also saw a very large card case. Then he took his eyes upward, landing them on a thin and long case.

"Excuse me sir," Ramza said, "What are those things and that case up there for?"

The person seemed very nervous.

"Uh... Those are extra merchandise for emergency if there are no more stock left."

"Right." 'I don't believe that one bit, emergency supplies aren't that small, and those pokeballs have IDs on them, so unless pokemon were caught in them and released, the pokeballs hold a pokemon.'

Upon exiting the Pokemart Ramza spotted Officer Jenny standing on the sidewalk, clutching something that looked like a walkie-talkie and sweating.

"What's happened, Officer Jenny?"

"Fourteen pokemon were stolen from the Pokecenter last night. We believe that the culprit is still in the area, so we are spreading out and searching for him."

Suddenly Cancer ran right into him, knocking him down. He was panting.

"What happened Cancer?"

"Ramza! The Gym Leader's pokemon were just stolen!"

"WHAT?!"

Then Aries joined him on Ramza's stomache.

"Ramza! The Museum was just robbed by somebody!"

"WHAT?!"

Gemini... need I say it?

"Ramza! Collector's Den was just burglarized by two people!"

"WHAT?!"

Scorpio... *sigh*.

"Ramza!..."

"WHAT?! Wait, I know. The Police Station was just shanghaied by some people right?"

Scorpio prodded him with his paw.

"How did you know?!"

"Just get yer' furry bodies off me! I can't breathe!"

After the shop keeper and the Team Rocket members that were hiding in the Pokemart were arrested, Ramza and his team of merry pokemon marched their merry butts over
to the merry Pewter City Gym. Ramza had read before on a article about the Gym leaders of the gym being faithful in the Rock-Typed powerful defense and unbreakable power.
So, Ramza reasoned, they probably shouldn't use normal attack types like Normal, Steel, and Dark and instead, something along the lines of Psychic, Water, and Ice.

"Scorpio and Gemini, you guys will have to be the ones to fight this battle."

Gemini sat upright, sweating nervously while Scorpio let a sinister smirk take over his face.

Ramza sweatdropped at their reactions.

Ramza opened the door to his first badge, and marched in.

Aries bounced in happily.

Cancer strut in fearlessly.

Gemini scurried in pitifully.

Scorpio charged in savagely.

Ramza sighed.

"So, you have come to battle me," Said the shadowy Gym Leader, "Pray tell, what is your name?"

"My name is Ramza and I have come for a Boulder Badge!"

"We estaclished that already!"

"We have not!"

"Did!"

"Not!"

"Did!"

"Not!"

"Did!"

"Not!"

"Did!"

"Not!"

"Did!"

"Not!"

"Did!"

"Not!"

"Did!"

"Not!"

"Did!"

"Not!"

"Did!"

"Not!"

"Did!"

"Not!"

"Did!"

"Did!"

"Did!"

"Not!"

"Did!"

"Not!"

"Did!"

"Not!"

"Not!"

"Did!"

"Hah!"

"No fair! You tricked me!"

"I did not."

"Did!"

"Not!"

"Did!"

"Not!"

"Did!"

"Not!"

"Did!"

"Not!"

"Did!"

"Not!"

"Did!"

"Not!"

"Did!"

"Not!"

"Did!"

"Not!"

"Did!"

"Not!"

Gemini looks you in the face and says, "Go read a book or something, this is gonna take a while."

---

"So, you have finall decided to settle down and fight." Cancer cracked.

"Ah, shut up, anyway, a four on four!" Ramza screamed at the SGL. (Shadowy Gym Leader)

"Before that, Ramza, I have to tell you one thing."

"What's that?"

"I am your father!" The SGL came out of the shadows to show Ramza's father.

"WHAT?!?!" Ramza yelled.

"Jus' joking." The SGL pulled of the mask and revealed that he was, dun dun dun, BROCK!

"Let's just go at it."

"Fine! Four on four!"

"I already said that!"

"No you didn't!"

The Pokemon sighed.

---

"Go Gemini!"

"Go Golem!"

Gemini was wiped out in record time.

Ramza sweat-dropped.

"Go Cancer!"

Golem became the first of a series of Kentucky Fried Rocks.

"Go Mudkip!"

"What?! Cheater! You are a Gym Leader! You have to use Rock Pokemon!"

"Where does it say so, huh?!"

"FINE! Come back Cancer! Go Scorpio!"

Mudkip was brutally beaten up by vines that came out of nowhere, later, when we interviewed Scorpio, he claimed he had nothing to do with it and whistled.

"Argh! Go Stoner!"

Ramza and his pokemon fell over laughing.

"What? What?!"

"Y..You n..amed you..r pokemon STONER?!"

"SO?!"

Ramza and his pokemon were laughing so hard they were sure their lungs burst.

Unforunately, because Scorpio was laughing so hard, it was easy for Stoner the Onix to knock him out.

"Hey! You cheated!"

"You were the one laughing!"

"Argh! Go Cancer!"

Cancer taosted Stoner.

"Darn! Go Tyranitar!"

Ramza and crew weren't laughing so hard anymore.
