Sorry for not updating for like 5-6 months. I had something like a writer's block (I'm not even a proper writer, but I just didn't feel like typing on my computer, so please enjoy!

Chapter 7: Battle at Pewter City Gym

Chris ran towards Pewter City barely being able to keep his happiness in him as he saw the Pewter City gym. He was about to go to the gym first thing, but he had Pokemon that couldn't fight, because they were very tired. Anne followed him into the Pokemon Center.

"Chris, you better give Professor Oak a call. You can have a Charmeleon, Pichu, Pidgeotto, Raticate, Butterfree, and Beedrill in your lineup. Then I think you'll have about 20 Beedrills and Butterfrees each, so maybe you can trade or sell them later on our journey."

Professor Oak must've been thinking along the same lines, because he switched Chris's lineup just like Anne said and gave the same advice about having this kind of lineup. When Chris took his Pokemon, he went over to the Pewter City gym. There was a long line of trainers waiting at the gym. When Chris got in line, he heard a few Pokemon trainers talking to each other.

"Did you hear how tough Brock is? Nobody's beaten him for 6 months! How're we supposed to get badges against someone as tough as Brock? We're beginner trainers and even experienced trainers will have a hard time against Brock!"

Chris just casually said, "Just leave this to me!"

Anne stared at him and said, "My aunt Misty said that that was how Ash Ketchum first acted when he fought Brock. Then he lost." Anne started giggling.

Chris, turning red said, "Are you saying that I'm gonna lose?"

"No, Chris. I'm telling you good luck against Brock. You go ahead and I'm going to take a good look around the Pewter City museum. Well, see ya later!"

Chris ran into the gym to see a big, muscular man sitting at one end of the gym.

"My name's Chris Sparks from the town of Pallet and I've come for a challenge!"

"Sparks? You must be Richie's son. I've heard so much about you. Very well, I will battle you, but I won't go easy on you!"

Brock snapped his fingers and the lights turned on by itself and Brock said, "3-on-3. I'll choose first. Go, Steelix!"

Chris now knew why nobody could beat Brock. His Pokemon was big.

"Go, Charmeleon!"

His lizard Pokemon came out, ready to fight.

Brock smiled again and said, "A Charmeleon? This battle ought to be interesting! Steelix, use your Rock Throw!"

"Charmeleon, use your Ember attack!"

The dust from the Rock Throw and the fire from the Ember temporarily blinded the trainers. When the dust cleared, they saw both Steelix and Charmeleon standing, but both looked weak.

After Brock thought for a minute, he said, "Both attacks must've hit each other. Rock type attacks are strong against fire and fire is strong against steel. Very interesting experiment, you are a strong trainer."

"I'm not here to listen to that! Charmeleon, Rage Attack!"

"Rage? Humph. Steelix, use your Crunch!"

Steelix opens his big steel mouth and bites Charmeleon.

"Charmeleon? Oh, no! Return!"

Shocked at Steelix's secret weapon, Chris tried to think of a way to win.

"I choose you, Butterfree! Use your, Sleep Powder!"

"Steelix, use your Dig Attack!"

"Butterfree, Psybeam into that hole!"

Butterfree's Psybeam goes inside Steelix's hole and Steelix comes back out in fainted position.

"What?! Steelix, return! This time, there's no more Mister Nice Guy! Go, Golem!"

The big Pokemon three times bigger than Chris came out of the small Pokeball, shaking the floor.

"What do you think of my Golem? It sheds it's skin everyday making it bigger and bigger every year. Now how're you gonna beat that?"

Chris started feeling weak and he started sweating. Pichu was an electric Pokemon and it was just newly born, so that was two disadvantages against Pichu. He only had Butterfree, and also his Pidgeotto was a flying type so that wouldn't be a very good advantage. Raticate's fangs couldn't do anything to Brock's hard rock Pokemon. Beedrill didn't have a lot of chance either, but he figured it was the best chance he had against Brock.

"Butterfree, return and rest! I'm going to need you later. Go, Beedrill!"

Brock, grinning said, "Well, give it all you got!"

Chris trying to give his biggest grin said, "You asked for it! Beedrill, use your Agility Attack!"

"Golem, use your Harden!"

"Beedrill, Focus Energy!"

"Golem, use your Dig Attack!"

"Beedrill, Swords Dance!"

Chris thought now that Beedrill's stats were boosted, he decided to attack.

"Beedrill, use your Twineedle!"

"Golem, come out and use your Seismic Toss!"

Golem suddenly came out of the hole and grabbed Beedrill.

"Beedrill, no!"

"Submission!"

"Beedrill, use your Pin Missile on Golem's head!"

Beedrill managed to free its stingers from Golem's grip and started piercing Golem. Golem fell over in pain and a little bit of blood came out of Golem's head from the stings.

"Golem!"

Brock looked stunned at Chris's tactics and it somehow reminded him of Ash.

"Well Chris, you have one more Pokemon to beat. You were strong, but I doubt you can beat this one. Go, Crobat!"

"Crobat? Isn't that an evolved form of Golbat?"

"Right you are Chris, Crobat's speed in incredibly fast. See if you can match his speed!"

"I thought you were going to use a Rock or Steel type, but this is just better for me! I need you Butterfree! Let's finish this quickly!"

Smiling, Brock said, "It's not going to finish as easy as you think it will."

"Yes it will. Butterfree, use your Sleep Powder attack!"

"Crobat, use your Whirlwind!"

The Whirlwind blew back the Sleep Powder.

"Butterfree, blow it back again with Whirlwind!"

The two Pokemon started to use Whirlwind against each other until all the powder disappeared.

"Crobat, use your Supersonic!"

"Butterfree, Confusion!"

The Supersonic waves were interrupted by the Confusion, but the Confusion attack kept going and hit Crobat.

"All right! Butterfree, Psychic!"

Butterfree's Psychic attack emitted waves inside the gym and fainted the Crobat that was struggling on the ground before.

"No!"

Brock yelled as his Crobat hit the ground with a light thud. Brock looked shocked but then he got up grinning.

"You're truly the son of Richie Sparks. I will be expecting to hear a lot about you later on."

Then Brock gave Chris the Boulderbadge. Then without a word, he left his gym and was seen going up the mountains.

Chris was sleeping with his Pichu at the Pokemon Center, but woke up when the little cute mice shocked Chris just to prove that it could use the Spark attack.

Anne was waiting for him and she said, "Well, congratulations. You beat gym trainer Brock and Brock is gone now."

"Gone? I saw him go up the mountains after I beat him. I think he went to the Mount Moon area, since that's the closest Mountain. But you don't have to worry. Gym Leader Brock can take on anyone Pokemon or just fighting. Instead, let's worry about ourselves and go to Mount Moon!"

Chris made his way to Mount Moon when he heard the two voices he knew so well.

"Prepare for trouble!"

"Make it Double!"

"To dominate the world with Pokemon and power!"

"To unite the world with domination!"

"Yeah, yeah anyways. Let's start this! Go Arbok, use your Poison sting!"

"Go Weezing, use your Smokescreen!"

Weezing uses Smokescreen followed up by Arbok's Poison Sting, but there is nothing there.

"Uh-oh. The little kids must've escaped while we were saying our motto!"

James started crying, while Jessie hit him over the head.

"Then we catch'em. Let's go!"

Chris and Anne, who had escaped Team Rocket were on their way again, when a Arbok, Weezing, Victreebel, Arbok, Wobbuffet, and a weird snake that looks like an Arbok and a cactus Pokemon blocks their way.

Smiling, James said, "Let us introduce our new Houen Pokemon! Seviper and Cacturne! Try to beat these dudes! HAHAHAHAHAHA! Weezing, Explosion, Victreebel, Razor Leaf, Arbok, Acid, Wobbuffet, just do anything, Seviper, use your Poison Sting, Cacturne, Pin Missile!!!"

Then, a Fearow that came out of nowhere used Mirror Move on all 6 Pokemon that led to, "Team Rocket's blasting off again!"

Chris looked at Team Rocket and said, "Well, we could've beaten them, but it's a good thing that wild Fearow appeared. I could've caught it...Dammit. Well, that can't be helped. Let's go Anne! Off to Mount Moon we go!

Chris gave the Fearow that had saved their lives and saw the Fearow flying back up to the mountain. After the Fearow disappeared over the mountain, Chris and Anne started heading towards Mount Moon and Cerulean City.

Then a person in a white cloak went to the Fearow and said, "Nice job, Fearow. Return." Then the person disappeared deep into the mountains with two other figures following the white-cloaked figure.
