EPISODE 3: HIDDEN POWER, BENEATH WATER

As the day processes, Abe continues his journey with his two pokemon. He has finally made it to Gillgoro Town, and ia ready for his first gym battle.

"Wow... this is awsome" says Abe as he examines the whole town from the cliff.

"Krokrone" Kronner agreed.

"We gotta find the gym first!" starts running to the nearest Pokemon Center.

Abe sees the Pokemon Center and enters it. In there he finds Nurse Joy.

With a gentle and soft voice "Welcome to the Pokemon Center where we heal and cure your pokemons to perfection, how may I help you?"

"Wow!!! Wait a minute" said Abe after hearing how fast Nurse Joy talked. "That was fast!!! I want to know where the nearest Gym is"

"Oh you are looking for the Gillgonor Gym!" said Nurse Joy

"Yeah. Do you know where it is?"

"Of course I know. It's right over the corner" pointing outside the center. "Are you going to challenge the leader Alice?"

"I think so...??? Is that her name?" finished with confusion.

"Yes, well should I heal your pokemons for your battle?"

"Yes! Of course. Does it cost?"

"No silly. It's for free."

"Ah...okay!"

"Just wait for a momment" Nurse joy put the pokeballs in the healing machine, once she was done she gave them back to Abe. "All done!"

"Wow that was quick." said Abe surprised.

"Good luck"

"Thanks." Abe walked out of the Pokemon Center. When he was outside he followed all the way to the corner, there he saw the big gym, in the form of Waves.

"That's not ordinary" watching the gym. "Well... I better go in."

*knows on the door* "Is anyone in there?"

*no replies*

"Is anyone in there?" Abe tried a second time.

"Yeah I hear you! You don't have to scream" said a girl while jumping from the top of a pool.

"Hi!" greeted "I'm Alice!" I'm the gym leader here, and you are..."

"I'm Abe, and I'm here to challenge you"

"Oh is it?"

"Yeas, why? Do I have to pay?"

"Pay?! You're silly. No you don't have to pay."

"So that means we can have a battle?" said abe.

"Well maybe yes, or maybe no"

"Oh! Come one!"

"Okay. We'll battle. It will be a three on three match though. Do you have three pokemon?"

"Nope, but I still can handle you."

"Well then Let's start!"

The lights light up, suddenly the ground starts to shake up. and a plattaform appears. It was pool... or maybe something that looked like a pool. It was a replica of the ocean itself.

"We'll battle in this ocean field. Got a problem with that?"

"Nope."

"Hope your pokemon know how to swim." laughing. "I'll start with Freexy!" throws a pokeball into the water."

"I'll start with Kronner!"

"Freexy! use Powder Snow!" said Alice.

"Use Reflect to counter"

Freexy throws in his attack, but Kronner is luckly able to counter it. Freexy gets hit by his attack instead.

"No! Freexy use Rain Dance"

"Kronner, Use A Horn attack! and finish this!"

Kronner charge himself against Freexy. As Kronner approached, Freexy used Rain Dance to cover the whol field with Rain. Kronner gave Freexy a direct hit leaving Freexy in a state of coma.

"Freexy, return" Alice returned Freexy. "Gekugo, go!!!"

"Another one, will just have to take care of it too" said Abe with confidence.

"Gekugo use Perish Song!"

"What! You're trying to kill both of our pokemons?"

"Exactly" said Alice."You'll see what I'm planning soon"

"You're nuts! Kronner, use Ice Beam!"

But the attack was too late and Gekugo's Perish Song came to effect and both pokemon fainted.

"Kronner!"

"Return Gekugo"

"Kronner..." crying "..return"

"Now feast your eyes with my favorite and my cutest pokemon!!!"

"Huh?"

"Go Sharkken!!!" Alice called on Sharkken a huge Shark.

"She calls that cute, I say it's a monster."

"I heard that."

"Well, I guess I only have one choice..." takes out Hawkel's pokeball. "I'm counting on you, go Hawkel!!!"

"Hawkelhaw"

"Shasahakkensa" with a fearsome face.

"Sharkken use bite!"

Sharkken bite Hawkel. Hawkel wasn't able to counter or defend.

"Now use Preserve" Sharkken Remained still, but was gathering anger.

"Why that?" "Hawkel fly up and use a Razor Wind"

"Hawk...Hawkel!!!" It missed.

"Dam" said Abe

"Sharkken... Now release anger!!! Use Strike!"

Sharkken started to go nuts. He was circling Hawkel on air, as if it was trying to eat him.

"Hawkel watch out, I don't know what he wants to do."

"Sharkken strike now!"

Sharkken striked Hawkel. Hawkel felled to the water.

"Poor Hawkel. It can't swim. I guess it's over" Laughing

"Hawkel!!!" Abe screamed as he watched Hawkel drown in the water.

"I guess you lose"

"It can't be..."

Suddenly a spark of light starts to light up underwater. It was Hawkel who was struggeling to get out.

"Hawkel!"

"Hawkehawel" Flies outside the water.

"It can't be... It was a powerful hit...This...just can't happen..."

"Hawkel You're alright!"

"No!!!"

"You ready to make a comeback?"

"Hawk!" agreeing.

"Then Use a Megalo Shock!"

"What!?" said Alice with surprise.

"Oh, Hawkel can use electric attacks. I forgot to say that."

"No! Sharkken is weak against it!"

"Hawwkellll" launching the blast.

"Sharkken!!!!" screaming

The blast gave a lot of damage to Sharkken, who ended up fainting.

"I win!" said Abe with comtemp.

"Hawkel"

"Ah... you deserve this win." said Alice as she returned Sharkken into it's pokeball.

Once they finished talking, they went outside where Abe received gus badge, the Tidal badge.

"You deserve this, here take it. It's the tidal Badge. It proves that you have won in the Gillgoron Gym."

"Thanks." Abe takes the badge from Alice

"We did it!!!"

"I guess you'll be heading over to the Bouloder Gym next?"

"Yes, and receive a new badge!"

"I like your spirit, Good luck."

"Thanks for all, bye!!!"
