CHAPTER 9: The King is the key
Giovanni and Miyamoto were walking around Saffron City doing a little shopping. "We got fire stones, leaf stones, thunder stones and now moon stones straight from Mt. Moon" said a voice from a outdoor booth. Giovanni and Miyamoto walked over and found out the moon stones were on sale for only $9.99. "I only have $14.00 in spending money so I'll buy one" said Giovanni. The seller gave him the moon stone. "So what're you going to do with it"? asked Miyamote. Without any answer Giovanni sent out his Nidorino and held up the moon stone against him and he started glowing. Miyamoto gasped. Nidorino evolved into a Nidoking which was way bigger than Nidorino had been. "Nidoking return" said Giovanni returning his pokemon. "Now it's time to face Jacob".
Later at Jacob's gym. "So you want a rematch huh!" said Jacob. "Yeah and this time I'm going to win" said Giovanni. "Ha, we'll see" said the phantom gym leader. "One on one pokemon battle this time, let the battle begin". "Go Nidoking!" said Giovanni proudly as he sent out his newly evolved pokemon. "So I see you evolved your pokemon" said the gym leader unimpressed "So did you force it to evolve?" A look of guilt swept past Giovanni's face. "Enough talk!" shouted Giovanni "send out your pokemon so we can get on with the battle"! "Very well" said Jacob "Go Kadabra"! "Nidoking Poison Sting!" commanded Giovanni. Nidoking pierced his big horn into Kadabra's back. He was poisoned instantly. "Kadabra Psybeam!" ordered the frustrated gym leader. The Psybeam collided with Nidoking's stomach. He was damaged but still up. "Now Nidoking Seismic toss!" commanded the trainer. Nidoking picked up Kadabra and threw him to the other side of the gym. Kadabra carefully tried to get up but before he could Giovanni ordered Nidoking to use a body slam and Kadabra fainted. Jacob gasped. "Kadabra return" he said returning his pokemon. "I don't get it why was it a one on one battle this time?" asked Miyamoto. "Because my Xatu fainted in the last battle I had with a trainer not too long ago, it's still at the Pokemon Center recovering" replied the gymleader. "Well here's your Marsh badge" said Jacob walking towards Giovanni and handing the badge to him. He then put the badge in the badge pocket on his backpack.
Later on Giovanni and Miyamoto were now on the road to Celadon City when the spotted a rock pokemon on the road. It was very weak. "Hmm…a weak Rhyhorn" said Giovanni grinning. "Don't catch it, it already belongs to someone, it has a collar!" said Miyamoto. "I don't care, finders keepers" said Giovanni catching it and hooking it on to his belt. (What's happened to you Giovanni why are you so evil now) thought Miyamoto.
