Our heroes have arrived in Kamoji City, a city that mixes the old with the present. Our heroes have come here for Ichigo's sixth gym battle.

"Wow! This place looks amazing!" Orihime said as she looked around. Kamkoji City looked like an ancient Japanese city. "Can we do some shopping? I see so many cute souvenirs we can have?"

"Maybe later, Orihime." Ichigo said. "We're here for my gym battle. Where's the gym?"

"According to the map, the gym is at famous Kamoji Manor. That's also where Rurichiyo is." Rukia said.

"Great. Let's see what a gym with three gym leaders is like." Ichigo said as he was interested to see how this battle was going to go.

Pokemon

No time to question my moves

I stick to the path that I choose

Me and my friends are gonna do it right

You'll never see us runaway from a fight

To be a master is my dream

All I have to do is believe

(I believe)

I'm on a master quest

(Master quest)

I'm on my way to victory

I can be a champion if I just believe

I'm on a master quest

(Master quest)

I want the whole world to see

(I believe)

I'm gonna be the very best

Cause all I have to do is believe in me

Pokemon!

(Ichigo's voice) Triple Trouble

"Argh! This is so boring!" Rurichiyo said as she was in the middle of some paperwork at the Kamoji Manor. "Where are the challengers that want to have gym battles?!"

"I'm sorry, Lady Rurichiyo, but you can't ignore this work." Kenryu said as he was trying to help her through it. That was when they heard the door open up and Enryu came walking in with Ichigo and his friends.

"Hey, Rurichiyo!" Ichigo said.

"Ichigo! Everyone! You made it!" Rurichiyo said as she was excited to see all of them. Ichigo was ready for his gym battle, but he noticed the stacks of paperwork she had.

"What is all this?" Ichigo asked.

"Apart of being a gym leader, Lady Rurichiyo is the descendent of a royal family." Kenryu said. "As you can imagine, she has a busy life."

"That seems rather unfair considering she's just a young girl." Orihime said.

"That might be so, but it can't be helped. This sort of work can't be ignored." Kenryu said.

"However, I can if I happen to have a gym challenge. That's why I'm so glad to have you here." Rurichiyo said. "Please, Kenryu? Ichigo and his friends came all this way for his gym battle."

"Of course. Let's move to the battlefield." Kenryu said.

...

The Battlefield

They all moved to a regular battlefield. With nothing stopping the gym battle, Ichigo can't wait to see what this is like.

"Are you ready, Ichigo?" Kenryu asked.

"Hold on." Ichigo said. "How does the gym battle work with all three of you acting as the gym leader?"

"It's quite simple." Rurichiyo said. "You battle all three of us in one-on-one matches. If you are able to win two out of three battles, you win a badge."

"So it's a best two out of three match. That makes sense." Chad said.

"Fine with me. Which one of you is first?" Ichigo asked.

"That would be me." Kenryu said as he was the first one to step forward. Now that Ichigo understands how this works, he was ready for this gym battle. The two of them took their places on the battlefield with Rurichiyo acting as the referee.

"Okay. The first battle between Kenryu and Ichigo will now begin." Rurichiyo said.

"We know Rurichiyo uses a Wormadam. I wonder what kind of pokemon Kenryu uses." Orihime said.

"Bloom with all your glory, Wormadam!" Kenryu said as he let out his pokemon.

"Wormadam!"

"Wait. He's using a Wormadam too?" Orihime said as she didn't quite get it. Then, she spotted the difference between them. "Wait. That one is green with flowers? The one Rurichiyo uses was pink."

"That Wormadam is one wearing a plant cloak. There are three different kinds of Wormadam" Rukia said. "The one Rurichiyo used was one that was capable of using steel-type attacks. The one Kenryu is using is capable of using grass-type attacks."

"So which of Ichigo's pokemon has the best chance of beating it?" Chad questioned.

"I'm not sure. It's not going to be easy for any of his pokemon to beat a bug-type that is also a grass-type." Rukia said.

"Umbreon, let's go!" Ichigo said as he made his first choice.

"Umbreon!"

"Oh wow! That Umbreon is a different color!" Rurichiyo said as she loved it.

"Rurichiyo, remember that you're referee. You have to remain unbiased." Kenryu said to get her to behave appropriately. "Using a dark-type against a bug-type? That's not very smart. I bet you're a reckless trainer."

"The battle hasn't even started. Wait until you see what Umbreon and I can actually do." Ichigo said.

"Let the battle begin!" Rurichiyo said.

"We'll get this started. Umbreon, start out with Swift!" Ichigo said. Umbreon held out its tail and launched stars from it with Kenryu's Wormadam getting blasted from it.

"Is that all you can do? Energy Ball!" Kenryu said.

"Wormadam!" Wormadam formed a ball of green energy and launched it.

"Move!" Ichigo said. Umbreon moved around and was able to avoid the attack.

"You can't avoid this. Bug Buzz!" Kenryu said.

"I don't think so. Protect!" Ichigo said. Umbreon formed a barrier around itself. Wormadam unleashed a red sonic wave, but it didin't look like it was having any affect with Umbreon being protected.

"I see. Umbreon knows Protect. You won't be able to win on that alone. Now use Leaf Storm!" Kenryu said. Wormadam unleashed a powerful gust of wind with leaves inside. The leaves covered the whole field with Ichigo finding it difficult to see Umbreon.

"Oh man. That Leaf Storm is crazy." Ichigo said.

"How are you going to fight when you can't even see Umbreon?" Kenryu said.

"Don't ever underestimate my Umbreon!" Ichigo said. Kenryu found his statement preposterous. There was no way Umbreon can get through that attack. However, Umbreon jumped right through the leaves and appeared right in front of Wormadam.

"What?!" Kenryu said as he couldn't believe that just happened. Umbreon somehow fought through the attack and got to Wormadam.

"Shadow Ball!" Ichigo said. Umbreon blasted Wormadam with the attack and sent it sliding against the ground and was knocked out of the battle.

"Wormadam is unable to battle! Umbreon is the winner!" Rurichiyo said.

"Yes. He got the first win." Orihime said.

"One more win and he'll get that badge." Chad said.

"True, but I don't think Enryu or Rurichiyo will make it easy on him." Rukia said.

"One more win to get that badge. Which of you two is next?" Ichigo questioned. Enryu was the one taking his turn as he took Kenryu's place while Kenryu took the part of referee. "Okay, big guy. I'm ready to go whenever you are."

"Go!" Enryu said, but his highly squeaky voice surprised all of them. "Wormadam!"

"Wormadam!" Enryu was using Wormadam as well with it having the sandy cloak.

"What was with that voice?!" Ichigo said as he tried to hold back his laughter with Enryu blushing.

"Enryu's embarrassed by his voice. The only time he uses it is when he battles." Kenryu said. "Even so, he tries to use few words." The others were trying to hold back their laughter out of respect for Enryu's feelings.

"Uh... So Enryu uses a Wormadam too." Chad said.

"Yeah. That one is capable of ground-type attacks." Rukia said. "Frillish would be the better choice in this battle."

"Frillish, let's go!" Ichigo said.

"Frillish!"

"Let's get that win. We'll finish this in just one hit. Frillish, Water Pulse!" Ichigo said. Frillish got the attack ready and tossed it at Wormadam.

"Sandstorm!" Enryu said.

"Wormadam!" Wormadam generated a sandstorm and it was able to block the Water Pulse.

"No way!" Ichigo said as he couldn't believe that happened.

"Rock Blast!" Enryu said. Wormadam generated rocks and blasted Frillish with it multiple times. "Psybeam!" Wormadam fired a multicolored beam from its eyes and blasted Frillish with it.

"Hang in there, Frillish! Let's try Water Pulse again!" Ichigo said. Frillish tried to battle back, but Enryu didn't give them chance.

"Rock Blast again!" Enryu said. Wormadam fired more rocks nonstop. Frillish got hit hard by all the attacks and was blown back to Ichigo. Ichigo was able to catch Frillish in his arms, but Frillish was knocked out of the battle.

"Frillish is unable to battle! Wormadam is the winner!" Enryu said.

"He lost?!" Orihime said as it seemed a little unreal. "Poor Frillish barely got the chance to attack."

"Oh man. Enryu might have a squeaky voice, but that Wormadam sure is powerful." Ichigo said. The battle was now tied one to one. The next battle will decide if Ichigo gets his gym badge or not.

"It's finally my turn." Rurichiyo said as she took her place on the battlefield. "I'm warning you that I'm not going easy. I may have lost to Orihime, but that doesn't mean I'm going to lose to you."

"We'll see about that." Ichigo said as he grabbed his last choice.

"Wormadam, let's go!" Rurichiyo said.

"Wormadam!"

"Scraggy, it's all on you!" Ichigo called.

"Scraggy!"

"He's going with Scraggy against Wormadam?" Orihime said.

"It's an even match. Dark-types are weak against bug-types, but fighting-types are strong against steel-types." Rukia said. "I guess it all comes down to using the right attacks."

"Let's go, Scraggy! Zen Headbutt!" Ichigo said. Scraggy's head glowed blue and charged right at Wormadam.

"Wormadam, Mirror Shot!" Rurichiyo said. Wormadam readied her attack and launched them. Scraggy jumped around and avoided the attacks. Scraggy kept going until Scraggy smashed its head against Wormadam.

"Now use Brick Break!" Ichigo said. Scraggy jumped in the air and readied the attack.

"Mirror Shot again!" Rurichiyo said. Rurichiyo unleashed the attack and was able to blast Scraggy before Scraggy could attack Wormadam. "You're doing great! Now use Signal Beam!" Wormadam fired the beam and blasted Scraggy and blew Scraggy back.

"Scraggy, are you okay?" Ichigo asked with Scraggy able to get back up.

"You won't be for much longer. Let's use Hidden Power!" Rurichiyo said.

"Wormadam!" Wormadam formed energy orbs and launched them. Scraggy got hit by the attacks, but was trying its best to resist the attack.

"Don't give in, Scraggy! Let's show them your power with Focus Blast!" Ichigo said. Scraggy focused its power and unleashed the attack.

"We're ready for that! Let's use Metal Burst!" Rurichiyo said. Wormadam let the attack hit for it allowed her to absorb some of the energy. Wormadamon absorbed the energy from the attack and sent it all at Scraggy. Scraggy got blasted by the attack and took some heavy damage.

"Scraggy!" Ichigo called out of concern. Scraggy might have taken some strong damage, but was still trying its best to get back up in the fight.

"What was that attack?!" Orihime said.

"Metal Burst is similar to Counter and Mirror Coat." Rukia said. "It took damage from that attack and reflected it back at Scraggy." Scraggy took some heavy damage, but Scraggy wasn't giving up the fight yet.

"Scraggy can't take another attack like that." Ichigo said. "We have to end this fast. Scraggy, Brick Break!" Scraggy went at Wormadam again, but Rurichiyo wasn't too concerned.

"Let's use Signal Beam!" Rurichiyo said.

"Dodge it!" Ichigo said. Wormadam fired the beam, but Scraggy jumped out of the way. Wormadam kept the attack going, but Scraggy jumped away each time the attack was used. "Looks like we'll have to use Focus Blast, but it will just be countered with Metal Burst. What do we do? Scraggy can't keep dodging." Scraggy is doing its best to avoid Signal Beam, but Scraggy won't be able to keep it up much longer. When Signal Beam hit the ground, the flying dust gave him an idea. "Scraggy, Focus Blast on the ground!"

"Scraggy!" Scraggy used the attack and blasted the ground. It caused dust to fly around the air. Rurichiyo couldn't see Scraggy anymore.

"Where'd Scraggy go?" Rurichiyo said as she looked around for the opponent.

"Brick Break!" Ichigo said. Scraggy came down from above and smashed its arm against Wormadam. "Now use Focus Blast and end this!" Scraggy blasted Wormadam at point-blank range. Wormadam was blown back by the attack and crashed into the wall.

"Wormadam!" Rurichiyo called. A closer look shows that Wormadam is knocked out.

"Wormadam is unable to battle! Two wins out of three means that the winner is Ichigo the challenger!" Kenryu said.

"That was great, Scraggy!" Ichigo said as he went over to Scraggy and petted Scraggy's head. "Way to battle out there." With two wins, Ichigo managed to get his badge.

"It was a great battle, Ichigo." Kenryu said.

"Your pokemon are incredible, and you certainly are a strong trainer." Rurichiyo said. "That's why we're rewarding you this badge." Enryu handed the badge over to Ichigo. It was a combo of three triangles in yellow, green, and pink.

"This is the Triple Badge. Accept it with pride." Kenryu said.

"Thanks a lot." Ichigo said as he took the badge. He now has a total of six badges. "Six down and only two more to go."

"That's great, Ichigo." Orihime said.

"You'll be reaching the Kalos League soon." Rukia said.

"By the way, Orihime. I have great news." Rurichiyo said. "You still need to find your fourth star medal, right?"

"Yeah." Orihime said.

"There's actually going to be a competition in Senerena City." Kenryu said. "You might be able to win your final star medal there."

"Senerena City? Sounds great!" Orihime said as she couldn't wait. Sounds like they have their next destination.

Ichigo has succeeded in winning his sixth badge. He's only two badges away from entering the Kalos League now. As for Orihime, she has the location on where she might be able to win her fourth and final star medal. The journey might be winding down to its end, but there is still some excitement along the way. Stay tune to see all that comes.

Pokemon Question: Okay, all you future trainers. The answer to the last question was...Gible. Gible have large mouths, but they have pretty small stomachs. Here's the next question. What pokemon likes the sound of flutes from leaves, but causes listeners to feel dread?
