The Poisonous Ninja Masters
One day, the Fuchsia City Gym Leader Koga invited me to Viridian Forest for a friendly rematch. I accepted. Leaf tagged along, although she was a bit creeped out by all of the Bug-type Pokémon skittering around.
He called out a Nidoqueen, and I called out my Vaporeon. Nidoqueen outmaneuvered Vaporeon and hit it with a Poison Jab attack. This both did damage and poisoned Vaporeon. Vaporeon struck back with a Surf attack and knocked Nidoqueen out in one hit. Vaporeon was hurt by its poison.
He sent out a Weezing. I recalled Vaporeon and sent out my Alolan Raichu. Raichu easily outsped Weezing and knocked it out with only one Psychic.
He called out a Golbat. Raichu outmaneuvered Golbat and knocked it out with one Thunderbolt move.
He sent out a Venomoth. Raichu outsped Venomoth and knocked it out with a single Psychic.
He called out a Nidoking. I recalled Raichu and sent Vaporeon back out. Nidoking outmaneuvered Vaporeon and hit it with an Earthquake attack, which did a lot of damage. Vaporeon struck back with Surf and knocked Nidoking out with one hit.
He sent out a Muk. I recalled Vaporeon and sent out my Charizard. I Mega Evolved Charizard into Mega Charizard X. Charizard easily outsped Muk and knocked it out with only one Earthquake.
"If I am not strong enough to defeat you now, there is but one thing to do. I must hone my skills," he said.
The following day, his daughter Janine invited me back to Viridian Forest for a friendly rematch. I accepted. Leaf tagged along again. Janine used many of the same Pokémon that Koga did. Using only my Mega Gengar, I beat Janine's entire party.
"I lost today, but I'll win next time!" Janine said.
