A Day in His Destiny
A male mid-teen figure sat at the end of the dark rectangular dome. He was barely recognizable in the almost pitch black stadium. His eyes were closed - all he could think about was the discipline and training he had to go through to get this far. He was about to realize his dream - his dream of becoming a Gym Leader. Would he pass the final test?
A light peirced through the dome's doors and broke his concentration. He looked up as the dome lights kicked on and watched the middle aged man who was wlaking in. He walked up the steps and stood at the edge of the rectangle painted on the floor.
"You must be Vincent. Im Bernie, nice to meet you."
"Nice to met you too. You must be the League Director here to test my skills?"
"Thats right. Wow, how did you get this gym up without any funding from the league?"
"The people here in Verdanturf funded it. We, being a small town, help each other out. And besides that, everyone is really excited about the posibility of a gym in thier hometown, especially the trainers here."
"I see..."
Bernie was flipping through papers and writing things down on his clipboard.
"So what type of Pokemon do you use?"
"The best of the ground type."
"Great, theres nothing more to do so let's get started!"
"Does a 3 on 3 sound good to you?"
Vincent slowly nodded in agreement, his nervousness was obvious by his slow reactions. He had a thousand questions going through his head as Bearnie shuffled through his PokeBalls. What if his skills weren't good enough? would his dream come crashing down if he didn't prove his skill in this match? Would all his hard work go to waste?
A voice was heard behind him.
"Come on Vince! I know you can do it!"
Vincent looked back and saw his sister Valerie, a begginer trainer, waving at him from behind the stadiums guard rails.
"I know you can win!"
Vincent smiled at her without saying anything and turned around to face Bernie. He saw that Bernie was already holding an expanded PokeBall, waiting for Vincent to send his first pokemon out.
"Vincent don't be so nervous! You have to trust your skills!" shouted Valerie.
'She is right...I have to beleive in myself and in my partners! I must if I am to acomplish this task!'
Vincent reached into his pocket and grasped an Ultra Ball. Bernie saw that he was ready and began the match.
"Ok Vincent, I'll start off with Cacnea!"
A small cactus Pokemon left the PokeBall in a red streak of light
"Fine. I'll chose Camerupt!"
"Meeerupt!" It grumbled in a low voice as it left its masters Ultra Ball.
"Camerupt! Use Flamethrower on it!"
White hot flames burst from its mouth and shot toward Cacnea. Cacnea managed to dodge the flames but was hit by the intense embers the flame was dropping.
"Show it your Pin Missile, Cacnea!"
Cacnea raised its club-like arms in the air and started rapidly spinning on one foot. Realizing Camerupt is too slow to dodge most attacks, Vincent thinks up a plan.
"Camerupt use harden, then build up heat energy!"
Cacnea released an assualt of barbs from all around its body. They peirced the cool magma shell that Camerupt made around its body and caused minor damage before they engulfed in flames and turned into ashed form the sheer heat of Camerupts body.
"Good work Cacnea, ingrain yourself into this gyms soft soil to recover!"
'What is he doing? My camerupt will be fully charged any moment now and he is going to tell his pokemon root itself? It wont be able to dodge my attack!'
Smoke started to billow from Camerupt, he was at max.
"Ok Camerupt, use Overhe- what?"
Camerupt fell onto its knees, struggling to stand.
"Whats going on?"
"Those barbs poisoned your Camerupt." Bernie said
'Oh no...What can i do now?'
