Edd vs Maylene
As Edd waited for Maylene and Ed to return, he takes off his backpack and rummages through it. He pulls out an item that he found at the Solaceon Ruins that resembled a purple incense burner. It was known as an Odd Incense, which boosts the power of psychic type attacks of a Pokemon that holds it. Remembering his Hoothoot knew a couple of them, he decided to let her hold onto it. He lets Hoothoot out of her pokeball and gives the Odd Incense to her and quickly returns her to her pokeball before Maylene returned. Minutes later, Ed and Maylene both entered the gym. Ed walked over to the bleachers to join Eddy while Maylene walked over to the arena on the opposite end of where Edd was.
"I hope I haven't kept you waiting too long." said Maylene.
"It's okay. I know that you needed to heal your Pokemon. Plus, it gave me some time to prepare and plan my strategies for this battle." said Edd.
"In that case, let's get started." said Maylene.
"This is a three-on-three battle between the challenger, Edd; and the gym leader, Maylene. Both trainers will battle until all of one's trainer Pokemon are unable to battle. Whoever defeats all their opponent's Pokemon is the winner. Let the battle begin." said the referee. Maylene pulls out a pokeball.
"Meditite, I choose you." says Maylene as she releases Meditite.
"Hoothoot, I choose you." says Edd as he releases Hoothoot.
"Okay, Meditite. Use Pound." says Maylene. Meditite leaps at Hoothoot with its arm raised.
"Quick, Hoothoot. Use Extrasensory to stop it." said Hoothoot. Hoothoot's eyes glowed gold and he releases a multicolored beam of energy out of her beak which hits Meditite and keeps it suspended in the air. "Hoothoot, send it flying." Hoothoot's eyes glow brighter and Meditite is sent flying down to the floor, hard. Because of the Odd Incense that Hoothoot had, Extrasensory did more damage than it normally would. Meditite struggles to stand up.
"Meditite, use Psybeam." says Maylene. Meditite releases Psybeam at Hoothoot and scores a direct hit. But Hoothoot was still flying strong. "You have a really strong Hoothoot."
"Thank you. Now Hoothoot, use Pluck." says Edd. Hoothoot flies over to Meditite and repeated pecks at him. It soon became too much for Meditite to handle and he passes out.
"Meditite is unable to battle. Hoothoot is the winner." says the referee.
"Excellent job, Hoothoot." said Edd. Maylene returns Meditite to its pokeball.
"You did your best, Meditite." says Maylene. She puts Meditite's pokeball back in her pocket and pulls out another one. "Machoke, I choose you." Maylene releases her Machoke from its pokeball.
"Hoothoot, use Reflect." says Edd. Hoothoot's eyes glow and a barrier appears in front of her.
"Machoke, use Knock Off." says Maylene. Machoke jumps at Hoothoot and slams its arm down on Hoothoot. It didn't do as much damage as it normally would have, thanks to Reflect; but it did knock the Odd Incense out of Hoothoot's feathers. Hoothoot looked like it was running low on stamina.
"Looks like Hoothoot is almost done. I should try to at least give my next Pokemon a better chance against Machoke. Hoothoot, use Growl quickly." says Edd. Hoothoot growls at Machoke, lowering its attack power.
"Now, Machoke. Use Rock Tomb." says Maylene, much to Edd's surprise.
"I didn't know Machoke knew Rock Tomb." says Edd as he watched rocks pile on top of Hoothoot. The referee looked in the pile of rocks and saw that Hoothoot was knocked out.
"Hoothoot is unable to battle. Machoke is the winner." says the referee. Edd returns Hoothoot to her pokeball.
"You did an excellent job, Hoothoot. Take a good long rest." says Edd. He puts Hoothoot's pokeball into his backpack and pulls out another pokeball. "Kirlia, I choose you." Edd throws Kirlia's pokeball, releasing him. Maylene looked nervous.
"Oh no. Part psychic type and part fairy type. This won't be easy." says Maylene. "Machoke, use Rock Tomb, quickly." Machoke starts throwing rocks at Kirlia.
"Kirlia, use Double Team." says Edd. Kirlia creates several copies of himself. The rocks pile on one of the Kirlias, but the pile collapses, meaning the Kirlia under it was a copy.
"Now, Kirlia. Use Psychic." says Edd. The real Kirlia's eyes glow and he releases two beams of psychic energy, which hit Machoke; and thanks to the Mind Plate that Kirlia had on him, the attack was a lot more effective. Fortunately, it was too much for Machoke and he passes out.
"Machoke is unable to battle. Kirlia is the winner." says the referee.
"Good work, Kirlia." says Edd. Maylene returns Machoke to its pokeball.
"Excellent work, Machoke." says Maylene as he puts Machoke's pokeball back into her pocket. She brings out her last pokeball. Edd tenses as he knows what's coming. "Lucario, I choose you." Maylene releases Lucario from its pokeball. Lucario stands ready to fight.
"I have to be careful." says Edd. "Lucario is part steel type. Being part fairy type, Kirlia has a disadvantage. But we'll give it all we got. Now, Kirlia. Use Charm." Kirlia's eyes widen and get sparkly, making Lucario lose some attack power.
"Lucario, use Metal Claw." says Maylene. Lucario's paw turns into steel and hits Kirlia, doing super effective damage. Fortunately, Hoothoot's Reflect is still in effect, that combined with the attack reduction that Lucario is afflicted with, thanks to Charm; it doesn't do enough damage to knock out Kirlia.
"Kirlia. Use Psychic with all your might." says Edd. Kirlia releases the strongest Psychic attack he could which scores a direct hit. But because Lucario was part-steel type, the attack wasn't as effective as it would've been otherwise; but it did do a lot of damage. Lucario was starting to breathe heavily.
"Hurry, Lucario. One more Metal Claw." says Maylene. Lucario rushes at Kirlia in an attempt to end the battle right there and now.
"Kirlia, use Psybeam." says Edd. Kirlia releases a beam of psychic energy which collides with Lucario's hand. The energy from both attacks combined and create a small explosion, making everyone shield their eyes. When the smoke from the explosion cleared, everyone saw both Pokemon staring at each other. A few moments later, Kirlia and Lucario fall forward onto the floor, unconscious. Seeing this, the referee raises both of his hands.
"Both Pokemon are unable to battle. It's a double-knockout. But since the gym leader is out of Pokemon, The challenger, Edd, is the winner." says the referee.
"You did it, Double-D!" cheers Ed.
"Way to go, sockhead." says Eddy. Edd runs over to Kiria and lifts him up.
"Kirlia. Are you okay?" asked Edd. Kirlia opens his eyes weakly and smiles at Edd, signifying that he's fine. "You did it, Kirlia. I am so proud of you." Edd hugs Kirlia and Kirlia hugs him back. Lucario weakly sits himself up as Maylene walks over to it.
"You did your best, Lucario." says Maylene as she kneels down to look Lucario in its eyes. She returns Lucario to its pokeball. "Take a good rest. I'll have you healed up in no time." says Maylene. She then walks over to Edd. "Congratulations on your victory. As proof, here is your Cobble Badge." She hands Edd the badge and some pokedollars.
"Thank you." says Edd. He then puts his badge in his badge case. Ed and Eddy come down and congratulate him.
"Good work, Double-D." says Eddy. Maylene looks at Eddy.
"I'll be right back for our gym battle." says Maylene.
"I'll be waiting and I'll be ready." says Eddy. Maylene and Edd both exit the gym to go to the Pokemon Center. "I'll need to come up with some strategies to help win this battle." Eddy sits down in the challenger side of the arena and starts planning.
