"Cerulean Gym Battle"
William and I were walking in silence on our way back from the Pokemon center to the gym. It almost felt like silent tension between us as if there was something neither of us wanted to say.
"So, how do you think I'll fair against the gym leader?" I asked.
"I think you'll do just fine, you are a very good trainer after all." He said cheerily.
As we got to the gym I walked through the door and noticed that William wasn't at my side anymore, so I turned to look back at him.
"William, what's wrong, aren't you coming with me." I asked.
"Not this time, I think you should do this on your own." He replied.
"Okay, wish me luck." I said.
I walked in through the door and approached three girls in swimsuits.
"Hi, I'm Megan from Pallet Town; can I please have a battle with one of you for a gym badge?" I asked politely.
"Sure, no problem, my name is Lilly, I'll battle you." Said the blue haired girl.
"We'll have a three on three battle, no time limit. Go Seel!" She said.
"A water type, just like I thought. Go Pichu!"
"Pichu use thunder shock!" I said.
"Okay Seel, use a head butt attack."
Pichu didn't even have a chance to attack before he was unconscious from seel's attack.
"Good try Pichu Return! Go Beedrill!" I yelled while throwing his ball high into the air. Beedrill came out of his ball with a red light flying in the air.
"Okay Beedrill start off the battle with a poison sting attack."
Beedrill hit Seel with a very powerful poison sting attack before it could hit him with a head butt.
"Now Beedrill, use twin needle attack!" I yelled.
Beedrill took off in a flash and was attacking the Seel before it knew what was going on, and then the injured Seel fell into the water and surfaced unconscious.
"Seel Return!" Lily said as she threw another Pokeball opening and revealing a Starmie.
"Beedrill Return! Go Bulbasaur!"
"Okay Starmie use bubble beam."
"Bulbasaur, counter with a vine whip attack!"
Starmie's attack hit Bulbasaur and really slowed it down, but Bulbasaur was still able to rap up Starmie in its vines.
"Okay Starmie hit Bulbasaur with your best Ice Beam!" Lily said.
The ice beam froze Bulbasaur into a solid block of ice and he was no longer able to move.
"Oh No, Bulbasaur are you okay?" I yelled.
"Bulbasaur Return!" I said.
"Starmie Return, Go Squirtle." Lily said.
This should be a good match; I just caught a Squirtle of my own.
"Go Squirtle; use your skull bash attack!" I yelled.
My Squirtle glared at me and then hit me with its water gun.
"What was that for Squirtle? I told you to use skull bash!"
This time he did use a skull bash attack, only he use it on me. He hit me right in the stomach and knocked the air from my lungs. I gasped and fell to the floor, as my Squirtle kept on attacking me.
"Squirtle, use your ice beam to stop that Squirtle!" Lily yelled.
The ice beam froze Squirtle solid, just like my Bulbasaur.
"Why did my Squirtle attack me?" I asked.
"Well obviously it isn't loyal to you, come back later once you have trained your Squirtle properly." Lily said, and then turned her back and walked away.
My ego was hurt much more than my body was, I felt so embarrassed. I slowly stood and walked out of the gym, and I finally noticed how bad my stomach hurt.
"What happened to you?" William asked gesturing at my wet clothing.
"My Squirtle turned on me." I said while holding my stomach.
"So I take it you didn't win a badge." He said.
"That about sums it up." I said sarcastically.
"So what exactly happened?" He asked.
"My Beedrill beat her Seel, then her Starmie beat my Bulbasaur, then she sent out a Squirtle so I figured I would use mine. I told it to use skull bash, but it first drenched me with its water gun and then hit me with its skull bash." I replied.
"Oh my gosh! Are you going to be okay?" He asked.
"Yeah, I think I'll be fine. But I need to get my Pokemon to the Pokemon center."
"No problem lets go." He said.
We then headed to the Pokemon center.
William and I were walking in silence on our way back from the Pokemon center to the gym. It almost felt like silent tension between us as if there was something neither of us wanted to say.
