Amy popped her head through a bush,
"Okay, where is this Fuchsia City gym anyway?" she asked her friends who walked out of the bush.
"I don't know," shrugged Isaac.
"Why did we have too leave so fast, I was talking to your friend, Ivan…he's so cute!" said Rose blushing just thinking about it.
"And such a gentleman," Rose continued.
"He's such a gentleman, yeah right! I'm glad we left," Amy grumbled quietly.
"So where are we going again?" Isaac asked looking around the forest.
"I'm also wondering who Zane and Suzie's son is," said Rose still in daydream mode.
"HELLO? WHERE DO WE GO?" Isaac shouted at the top of his lungs to get Rose to listen to him.
"Huh? Oh, um…" Rose took out the map to look.
Amy and Isaac peeked over her shoulder, and then all three turn to different directions and pointed,
"I think it's that way!" they all cried.
"Pika?" Pikachu asked scratching his head confused.
"Oh great! We're lost aren't we?" Isaac asked,
"No, I'm pretty sure it's that way," said Rose pointing in one direction,
"I don't know," said Amy with a worried look.
The gang walked around and found a small pond and rested there.
"So who knows what type this gym leader uses?" Amy asked after taking a drink of water,
"Poison I think," Rose answered.
"Okay, I guess I'll start thinking about which of my Poke'mon to use," said Amy.
"No, I'm saying it's this way! Look! This is river right here on the map, and there's a river right over there!" Isaac pointed.
The girls didn't argue and followed Isaac across a bridge.
"Ha! What did I say? There's the gym," said Isaac pointing,
"That looks like a dojo or a very big inn," said Amy,
"Hey! I got us somewhere at least!" Isaac argued.
The three and Pikachu walked towards the gym and immediately Amy puts one foot on the wood and she falls through. But luckily, Rose and Isaac grabbed her,
"You're heavy!" said Isaac while trying to pull her up,
"Excuse me?" Amy asked giving him a glare.
"Hey…" Rose stopped pulling,
"Rose! Help me!" Isaac complained.
"But…Amy is only about 5 inches from the ground," said Rose pointing and Isaac looked over, then dropped Amy,
"Ow! Hey! What was that for?" Amy asked angrily,
"Why don't you climb out yourself?" Isaac asked getting up.
"Grr…ISAAC!" Amy cried.
10 minutes later:
"Okay, I think the gym leader wants us to find him or her to battle," Rose concluded after walking around in circles.
"Great observation, Sherlock," said Isaac sarcastically.
"If you knew that then why did you lead us into four complete circles around this place? Rose asked crossing her arms.
"Um…don't ask me that," said Isaac grumbling.
"Hm…Hey guys! You know that trap door I fell into when we first came in? Well, there's got to be some walls that turn or something leading us into another room. I mean, from the outside, this place was HUGE! But when Isaac lead us round and around, it's no bigger than my house!" said Amy making a lot of sense.
"Pika!" Pikachu agreed.
"Okay then, we'll just start pushing against the walls then," said Rose and did just that.
"Why are you guys blaming this all on me?" Isaac asked in whimpering way.
The three and Pikachu started pushing against the walls gently; especially after Amy nearly fell over into the nearby river when the wall completely fell over. Even so, behind every wall that they looked behind, there was nothing, or just another hallway and they almost lost Rose in one of them.
"Okay, I'm just about to give up!" Isaac complained,
"Maybe we should just stop looking," said Rose
"We can't give up!" Amy reassured with her confidence.
"Pika, pikachu," said Pikachu pushing against one wall,
"What is it, Pikachu?" Amy asked and pushed the wall a little too hard and she fell through with the wall back to its original position again. She stood up and screamed.
"AMY!"
"PIKA!" The others rushed in and looked around,
"W-Where did…" Rose started to say,
"She go?" Isaac finished for Rose.
"Pika! Pika!" Pikachu was pushing against the wall again. Isaac walked over and pushed on it but not with his body and the wall spun around with Amy stuck to it.
"Someone help me…" she whimpered in fright.
"What's this?" Rose asked and picked a metal object off of Amy's clothing that stuck her to the wall.
"It's a ninja star," Isaac answered for her as he took it and examined it.
"I thought I was going to die…" Amy whimpered with anime tears as her friends picked the stars off her clothes which outlined her perfectly.
"Okay! Who threw these at my cousin?" Isaac demanded to the room filled with nothing but them and air.
There were a few moments of silence; when Rose was about to say something, a small laugh was heard somewhere in the room.
"Okay, who's there?" Isaac asked impatiently.
The laugh was heard again, it was a female's voice. Then a figure appeared and landed in front of them with the perfect grace of a crane.
"I see you've found me," said the woman that appeared. She had a ninja outfit with the colors of black, pink and a little bit of purple and has her hair tied back.
"Who are you?" Rose asked,
"Does it matter? SHE NEARLY KILLED ME! To think, I'm going through all this trouble just so I can find the gym leader!" Amy shouted in anger.
"Of course it matters! I'm Janine of Fuchsia gym!" she announced.
"…Oh…" said Amy and mentally slapped herself for acting like an idiot.
After some clarification, they got their battle underway.
"It'll be a two on two battle," Janine explained,
"That's fine with me!" said Amy confidentially.
"Well let's get this battle underway! Go Venomoth!"
"I choose you, Bulbasaur!"
"Venomoth…" Amy took out her Poke'dex to get a little more info on it.
"Hmm…poison. Okay, Bulbasaur use Vine Whip!"
"Venomoth! Dodge and use stun spore!"
Bulbasaur launched its vine whip and Venomoth flew to the side dodging it and flew overhead for a stun spore attack.
Bulbasaur was stunned and couldn't move.
"Oh no…" said Amy nervously.
"Now Venomoth! Use Psybeam!" Janine commanded,
"Come on Bulbasaur! You can do it! Dodge!" Amy encouraged and Bulbasaur moved just in time.
"Alright! Now use razor leaf and follow that up with Leech seed!"
"Bulba!"
Bulbasaur used razor leaf but Venomoth dodged, but then, leech seed hit and started to drain Venomoth!
"That's it! Now use vine whip and follow that up with tackle attack!"
Bulbasaur did just that when Venomoth was vulnerable and with strong physical attacks, Venomoth was knocked out.
"Venomoth!" Janine cried.
"Alright! Great job Bulbasaur!" Amy cheered,
"Pika! Pika!" Pikachu congratulated also,
"Bulba! Bulbasaur!"
Janine recalled Venomoth,
"Not bad, there, but I'm not going to play nice anymore. I choose you, Ariados!" Janine called out a giant spider causing Rose to scream.
"What's wrong with you?" Isaac asked when Rose went behind him using him as a shield or something.
"I'm scared…" Rose whimpered.
"Cool! An Ariados! My mom would be freaked out if she saw this!" said Amy and giggled a bit if she brought home a bug Poke'mon.
"Let's beat this one Bulbasaur!"
"Bulba!"
"Okay, let's resume the battle! Ariados! Use String Shot!"
Ariados launched sticky material at Bulbasaur and was unable to move.
"Now! Use Poison Sting!"
Ariados then shot out poisonous darts.
"Amy! Do something!" Isaac shouted at her, annoyed that she's not doing anything to help her Bulbasaur. Rose was still whimpering behind him.
"I can't! Bulbasaur can't move!" Amy complained back. After that Poison sting attack, Bulbasaur was knocked out.
"…Bulbasaur! Return! Great job, you deserve rest," Amy recalled Bulbasaur and took out another Poke'ball.
"I choose-!" Amy called out her Poke'mon for this last battle.
"This better be Charmander," Isaac mumbled under his breath.
"Krabby!"
Isaac did and anime fall.
"Amy! Are you an IDIOT?" he exclaimed.
"No," she replied simply but calmly for some reason.
"I just thought my Krabby could battle a bit. I mean, I haven't used him in a gym battle yet, so I though this is the perfect opportunity," Amy added and gave Isaac a reassuring smile.
"Well…" Isaac was kind of lost for words and doubted Amy's decision.
"Alright, let's finish this up! Ariados! Use String Shot!"
"Krabby! You can dodge that! Use Vice Grip!"
Krabby moved to the side and attacked with Vice Grip around Ariados' neck.
"Hang on tight, Krabby!" Amy encouraged.
"Ariados, try and shake him off!"
Ariados shook and shake; to the left and to the right, but Krabby won't let go.
"Hang on there tight, now use Crab Hammer!" Amy commanded.
Krabby pounded Ariados with its powerful closed pinchers.
"Ariados! No!"
"Okay! Now finish it off with your Stomp attack!"
After Krabby releases Ariados and quickly attacks with Stomp attack, Ariados was down…but not for the count!
Amy watched and waited with nervousness crawling up her spine.
Ariados stood up.
"Alright! Our turn, Ariados! Attack with Night Shade!"
Krabby took the hit and tumbled around before getting back on it s feet.
"Poison Sting!"
"Bubble! Then dodge!" Amy said quickly.
The poison sting popped the bubbles and the attacks stopped each other.
"Now's your chance! Use Guillotine!"
"What? Amy's using Guillotine?" Isaac asked surprised at her decision.
"What's going on, Isaac?" Rose asked with her back to the battle. Isaac sighed.
"Amy almost lost the battle because Krabby's inexperienced in Poke'mon battles but Krabby was able to damage Ariados earlier in the beginning so they're about tied," Isaac stopped and looked back at the battle,
"Amy decides to use Guillotine, in which you should know, can defeat an opponent if it's successful," Isaac explained and looked back at the battle again.
"So…did Amy win yet?" Rose asked not daring to look at the battle with that huge spider battling a crab.
"Well…" Isaac didn't finish but Rose heard one of the Poke'mon hit the ground hard.
"You can do it! Get up, Ariados!"
"Be careful Krabby, this battle is not over yet," Amy warned and Krabby noised in agreement.
Ariados starts getting up again, but then, collapsed.
"Ariados!"
"I think, this battle's over," Isaac smirked.
Amy stared, as if she couldn't believe this victory herself.
Please R and R!
Next: Amy get handed the Soul Badge and they backtrack to Celadon City and to Saffron City! On the way, they meet a new Poke'mon or two on the way. And whoever remembers Janine from Gold and Silver or the Pokémon cards should know what she looks like. I hope this wasn't too short, Happy New Years everyone!
