I don't own Powerpuff Girls Z or Pokemon.

Striaton Gym Part 1

As they were leaving the Pokemon Center the next day Miyako went up to the counter.

"Excuse me, Nurse Joy. Could you please tell us were the Striaton City Gym is?" she asked.

"Of course dear. Go to the Trios Restaurant and you'll find it," she told her.

Miyako told her thank you and walked over to the others. She told them what she had found out. They left the center to find the restaurant. After about a half hour they had found it.

Ash looked on both sides of the street "Ok, we found the restaurant, but where's the gym."

There was a loud growl that startled all of them.

"Sorry" Peach said. "We could ask the people in the restaurant and maybe get some breakfast."

The others agreed to her suggestion. They walked into the restaurant and were greeted by a man with red hair that made it look like his head was on fire.

"Hello, may I show you to a table?" he asked.

They all nodded. The man led them to a table in the middle of the restaurant. He gave them each a menu and walked away. As they looked around they saw two other waiters walking around. One had blue hair that looked like it was in dreads and the other had green hair that was cut short except for a bit in front that looked like a leaf. They also noticed that all of the other tables were full of girls staring at the three waiters.

As the one with blue hair passed their table Ash asked "Excuse me could you tell me where the Striaton City Gym is?"

"We'll be with you in a minute sir" the waiter said walking on.

After about five minutes Kaoru grab the green haired waiter by his arm slamming him into their table. The girls at the other tables screamed as Ash and Iris stared at her in shock, while Momoko, Miyako, and Peach all just shook their heads.

"Tell us where the gym is now!" Kaoru demanded.

The other two waiters rushed to the aid of their fellow.

"Unhand him now! We don't appreciate violence in our restaurant" the one with the blue hair said firmly.

"I'll unhand him when we find out where the Striaton City Gym is" Kaoru shot back at him.

"Kaoru please let him go" Miyako pleaded with her.

Kaoru looked at her then let the green haired waiter go. She then sat down in her chair crossing her arms and glaring at the three waiters.

"Why is it you want to find the Striaton City Gym?" the green haired waiter asked rubbing his arm.

"My friends are looking for it so they can try to get their first badge" Iris told him.

The three waiters looked at each other. After about a minute they nodded and looked at the companions.

"You can follow us if you want to challenge the gym" the blue haired waiter said.

The three waiters started to walk to the back of the restaurant. The companions got up and followed them, with about half of the other patrons right behind them.

After they all walked through a door in the back they found themselves in a huge room. In the center of the room was a battlefield with rocks strewn about it. The three waiters walked onto the battlefield and turned to everyone.

"I'm Cilan," the green haired waiter said. "This is my brother Chili," he said pointing to the red haired waiter. "And this is my other bother Cress" pointing to the blue haired waiter. "The three of us are the Gym Leaders of the Striaton City Gym. To challenge our gym you have to chose one of us to battle."

Ash declared in an excited voice, "I want to challenge all three of you."

The three gym leaders looked at each other. Then Chili said looking back "Sounds like fun. But you'll have to beat at least two of us to win your badge."

"Okay" Ash said. He then turned to the girls "You three should watch carefully. It might help you for your strategy against them."

"Be careful Ash" said Miyako with a little worry in her voice.

"Well if you're ready I'll be you first opponent" Chili said.

They both walked to opposite ends of the field. The girls that had followed them from the restaurant began to cheer for Chili.

"Great, fan girls" Kaoru said sarcastically.

Cilan had walked to the edge of the field "I'll be the judge for the battle. Each of you will choose one Pokemon to battle with. The first one to be knocked out is the loser. Begin"

"I'll choose my Pokemon first. Come out Pansear" Chili said.

What came out of his pokeball was a monkey that was red from around the eyes up and the waist down. In between it was tan. On its head was a swirl of hair that looked like fire.

Ash took out his Pokedex and pointed it at Pansear. "Pansear the high temperature Pokemon. This Pokemon lives in caves in volcanoes. The fire within the tuft on its head can reach 600 degrees Fahrenheit. It uses its tuft to roast berries."

"Hmm…A fire type. Well then come out Sandile" Ash said.

When Sandile was released the fan girls stared to boo Ash.

"Pansear use fire punch" Chili said.

Pansear's left hand ignited with fire as it charged at Sandile.

"Sandile dodge it with dig, then use bite" Ash countered.

Just as Pansear was about to hit Sandile it dug into the ground. When Pansear missed it stood there looking all around. Sandile came out of the ground behind Pansear and bit down on its tail.

"Use flamethrower to get Sandile off your tail" Chili told it.

Pansear turned his head and breathed fire out of its mouth at Sandile. It only barely managed to hit Sandile, but it was enough to make him let go.

"Sandile use dig again" Ash said.

Sandile went back underground.

"Pansear be careful. Sandile could attack from anywhere," Chili said. "Pansear get on top of one of the rocks."

"Just what I was waiting for. Sandile come out and use thunder fang" Ash said in response.

As Pansear was in midair Sandile came out of the ground his mouth full of electricity. Sandile bit down on one of Pansear's legs. As both Pokemon were falling to the ground Pansear's body was enveloped in electricity. When both Pokemon were on the ground Sandile let go of Pansear, who was unconscious.

"Pansear is unable to battle. Sandile is the winner" Cilan called out.

All of the fan girls were booing and hissing at Ash.

"Be quiet. Before I come over and MAKE you," Kaoru yelled at them.

Chili returned Pansear to his pokeball and walked off the field. Ash also returned Sandile to his pokeball and waited for his next opponent.

Cress walked onto the field "I guess it's my turn now. You will have to use a different Pokemon. Come out Panpour."

Cress's Pokemon looked like a monkey with a tan body, arms, mouth, and tail. On its head was some hair that went strait up then spread out a bit. The rest of its face and the tip of its tail were blue.

Miyako used her Pokedex on Panpour. "Panpour the spray Pokemon. It does not thrive in dry environments. It keeps itself damp by shooting water stored in its head tuft from its tail. The water stored inside the tuft on its head is full of nutrients. Plants that receive its water grow large."

Ash threw his pokeball and let out Pidove.

"Begin" Cilan said after Ash let his Pokemon out.

"Pidove use gust" Ash told it.

Pidove took off from the ground flying at Panpour.

"Panpour use scald" Cress said.

Just as Pidove got in front of Panpour, Panpour opened its mouth and let out a torrent of boiling water. When the water stopped Pidove was unconscious on the ground.

"Pidove is unable to battle. Panpour is the winner," Cilan shouted.

The fan girls went crazy cheering for Cress's victory.

"That's IT! I'm going to shut them UP!" Kaoru yelled and started to walk towards the cheering girls.

She was stopped by Iris and Miyako who grabbed her arms.

When the fan girls noticed the look Kaoru was giving them, they all became very quiet.

Cress returned Panpour to his pokeball and walked off the field to stand next to Cilan. "Cilan I'll take over judging the battle."

Ash returned Pidove to his pokeball and said, "You did your best Pidove."

"Well that means I'm your last opponent and your last opportunity to get your badge" Cilan commented as he walked onto the field. "Come out Pansage."

Cilan's Pokemon looked like a monkey with a large tuft of hair on its head. It was green from the top of its nose up and from the waist down. In between that was all tan.

Momoko used her Pokedex to check out the Pokemon. "Pansage the grass monkey Pokemon. It shares the leaf on its head with weary-looking Pokemon. These leaves are known to relieve stress. This Pokemon dwells in the deep forest."

"Pikachu you're my best hope. Lets do this" Ash told him.

Pikachu jumped from Ash's shoulder onto the field.

"You can go first," Cilan told Ash with a bow.

"Alright, Pikachu use quick attack" Ash said.

Pikachu charged Pansage at a very high rate of speed.

"Pansage use dig" countered Cilan.

Just before Pikachu would have connected, Pansage went underground. Pikachu stopped and started to look all around.

"Pansage use bullet seed" Cilan said.

Pansage came shooting out of the ground into the air. Pansage opened its mouth and started to shoot seeds at Pikachu.

"Pikachu dodge and use iron tail," Ash yelled.

Pikachu barely dodge the attack. He jumped at a rock, then into the air doing a summersault while his tail turned silver in color. Pikachu hit Pansage in the side of its head with its tail. Pansage slammed into the ground, after the dust cleared Pansage stood up shakily.

"That was a nice counter Ash. Pansage use solar beam" Cilan said.

Pansage put its hands in front of itself. A small ball of light started to grow in between them.

"Pikachu use volt tackle" Ash told him.

Pikachu charged at Pansage as it surrounded itself with electricity. Pansage wasn't able to dodge as Pikachu slammed into his chest. Pansage was knocked back into a rock. The blow knocked Pansage unconscious.

"Pansage is unable to battle. Pikachu is the winner," Cress said.

"You did very well Pansage" Cilan said as he returned him to the pokeball. "That was an excellent match Ash" Cilan told him as he walked over to shake his hand.

Chili walked over with the gyms badge in his hand. When he got to, Ash he handed it to him. It looked like three interlocking diamonds. The top one blue, the bottom one green, and the one in the middle red.

"That's the Trio Badge. It represents your victory here at the Striaton Gym" Cress told him.

Peach and the girls came over to congratulate Ash on his victory.

Ash held the badge in the air shouting, "I got the Trio Badge!"

Kaoru then hit him in the back of the head "Will you quite yelling every time you get something new."

"Sorry it's something I've done since I started my journey" he said apologizing and rubbing the back of his head.

Cress turned to Ash's friends "I hope you don't mind waiting to challenge us till after we've healed our Pokemon."

"Not at all" Miyako replied.

"I can wait, as long as the fan girl squad won't be here for the challenge," Kaoru said pointing at them.

"Me and Chili will be back in about twenty minutes," Cilan told them. "Come on girls we'll give you some autographs if you'll follow us" he said to the fan girls leading them out of the gym.
