Chapter Twelve: The Battle Continues
"Squirtle!" exclaimed Nari. He sat down next to his Pokemon.
"Squirtle," it moaned.
"Do you think you can still battle?"
"Squirtle," it grunted. It managed to get up. "Squirtle, Squirtle," it said with spirit.
"Great, Squirtle!"
"Okay, Geodude, just hit it with Rock Throw again and it'll be a goner!"
"Squirtle, dodge it and use Bubble!"
Geodude raced to Squirtle and threw the rocks. Squirtle dodged it.
However, Geodude started glowing profusely. It started to grow as well. Once it stopped growing, the light was gone. Geodude had evolved into a Graveler!
"All right," said Rocky. "Now I've got a Graveler!"
Squirtle spit bubbles from its mouth, badly hurting Graveler But Rocky wasn't finished yet.
"Graveler, hit it hard with Rock Throw! It shouldn't be able to dodge you now that you've evolved!"
Graveler used Rock Throw a third time, but Squirtle quickly jumped away from the rocks and landed behind Graveler.
As Squirtle landed behind Graveler, Nari commanded it to use Tackle. Squirtle jumped right on top of Graveler.
"Squirtle," it said happily.
Geodude was down.
"Geodude is unable to battle," said Rocky. "That means that this is yours. He took a small round ball out of a case and handed it to Nari.
"This," he said, "is the Pebble Badge. Take good care of it."
"Yes!" shouted Nari. "I got the Pebble Badge!"
Also, Squirtle had gained a lot of experience from that tough battle with Solider and Geodude. It started to glow and get bigger. Soon, it was a big, bold Wartortle.
