Chapter 9: Violet Gym, am I Strong Enough?
After a while, Silver got used to being a trainer. After his battle with Joey, Silver
battled a few more trainers and a few more wild Pokemon. He then moved on to Route 31,
where he came face to face with a wild Bellsprout.
"I'm gonna catch you, Bellsprout!", Silver said, sending out Cyndaquil. Cyndaquil was
now at level 8, while Bellsprout was at level 7.
"Bellsprout", said the Bellsprout, almost tauntingly.
"Cyndaquil, use Tackle!", Silver yelled. Cyndaquil rushed at the Bellsprout with immense
speed, but Bellsprout's Vine Whip kept Cyndaquil at bay.
"It's Ok, Cyndaquil!, try again", said Silver. Cyndaquil did, but was thrown off course by
Vine Whip again. The vines didn't seem to be hurting Cyndaquil in any way.
"Cynda!", it yelled. Cyndaquil's back ignited intensely. It shot little bits of fire out of
it's mouth. These hit Bellsprout and hurt it a lot.
"Belllllll...", it said in pain. Silver checked his pokedex to learn that Cyndaquil had
just learned Ember.
"Way to go, Cyndaquil!", Silver said, "Now I got you, Bellsprout!". Silver threw the
pokeball and Bellsprout disappeared inside. The ball shook and then made the noise.
Silver had caught his second Pokemon.
"Yeah!", Silver shouted, returning Cyndaquil to his pokeball. Silver felt that he could
breeze through his journey easily, and be better than that Gold. He was catching lots of
Pokemon, and he felt like he could not lose. He felt very powerful. It wasn't long before
Silver arrived in Violet City. Silver's first stop was the Pokemon center to heal up for
his gym match, when he ran into Crystal.
"Hey Silver, guess what I got!", Crystal said.
"A new Pokemon?", Silver asked her.
"No", she said, "i won this". Crystal showed Silver a shiny thing that was shaped like a
bird's wings.
"It's a Zephyr Badge, I won it in my gym match against Falkner and his Flying Types", she
said.
"I'm going to win one for myself now", Silver told her, "I feel as if I can't lose".
"Ok, just be careful, he's tough!", Crystal warned him.
After Silver left the center, he went to the gym, where Falkner was waiting.
"Who are you?", he asked.
"I'm Silver, from New Bark Town, and I want to win my Zephyr Badge", Silver said.
"Alright, lets battle 1 on 1 this time", Falkner said, holding out a pokebal. He threw
the pokeball and Pidgeotto, a bird Pokemon, came out.
"Go!", yelled Silver, throwing the pokeball with Cyndaquil in it.
"Cynda!", it said.
"Heh heh heh", Falkner chuckled, "Lucky i'm prepared for this. Now Pidgeotto, use Mud Slap!".
Pidgeotto shot mud at Cyndaquil. It hit Cyndaquil hard, and Cyndaquil looked hurt.
"Cyndaquil, Ember!", Silver commanded. Cyndaquil used it's Ember, but it missed due to the
Mud Slap.
"Again!", commanded Falkner. Pidgeotto once again shot mud at Cyndaquil, knocking it out.
"NOOOOOO!", Yelled Silver, holding Cyndaquil in his arms. Silver was shocked, for he had
lost. Falkner had praised Silver for the good job he did on raising Cyndaquil and he
suggested that Silver go to the Sprout Tower in the north for training.
"I guess we have to go to the Pokemon Center, then we'll train up at Sprout Tower", Silver
told his knocked out Cyndaquil. And so Silver headed to the Pokemon center to prepare for
the Sprout Tower.
