Chapter 6: Flying with wings

Well, it was time for my Gym challenge. I went into the Violet City Gym and challenged the Bird Keepers. I was planning to solo everyone with Geodude.

First up, Bird Keeper Abe and his Pokémon, Spearow.

Spearow

013

Normal/Flying Type

Tiny Bird Pokemon

1'00" (0.3m)

4.4 lbs (2 kg)

It flaps its short wings to flush out insects from tall grass. It then plucks them with its stubby beak.

Geodude used Tackle on Spearow, which did a fair amount of damage. Spearow came back with Peck. Yeah that did a lot I say sarcastically. Geodude used Tackle one more time giving me the victory.

The other Bird Keeper, named Rod, used two Pidgey. As you could imagine, Geodude did take both down.

After going back to the Pokémon Centre to heal, I challenged the Gym Leader, Falkner.

"My name is Falkner, master of Flying Type Pokemon! The only thing higher than the sky? OUR FIGHTING SPIRITS!"

Falkner started out with Pidgey and I used Geodude. Geodude used Tackle on Pidgey, which almost knocked it out. Pidgey came back with a Super Effective Mud Slap. Geodude did use Tackle one more time though.

But now it was time for Pidgeotto.

Pidgeotto

011

Normal/Flying Type

3'07" (1.1m)

66.1 lbs (30 kg)

It has outstanding vision. However high it flies, it is able to distinguish the movements of its prey.

Evolved from Pidgey at Lv 18.

I kept Geodude in and had it use Tackle. Pidgeotto took it and came back with Mud Slap. Geodude tried another Tackle, but it missed. Pidgeotto used Mud Slap again. Geodude was almost done for. Geodude used Tackle, almost knocking out Pidgeotto. However, Pidgeotto finished off Geodude.

I had Hoothoot wrap it up for me. Hoothoot used Tackle on Pidgeotto. It was a Critical Hit and I had won!

"Yes, you certainly soared" said Falkner. "I present to you, the Zephyr Badge!" My first Badge. "I also bestow the TM for Mud Slap, just in case."

That night at the Pokémon Centre, I had a visit from one of Professor Elm's Assistants. "Elm himself would come but he spilled tea on the PC and it needs to be fixed. He has finished his research on the Mystery Egg and he wants you to take care of it so that it can hatch." I happily took it off him.

"In local news" said the Television on the desk. "There is said to be shady practices of the illegal selling of Slowpoke Tails in Azalea Town. If you see any suspicious activity, report it to the Police immediately. Up next, a Documentary on the eruption of the volcano on Cinnabar Island in the Kanto Region."

I was tempted to go, because Red would stop them.

"ETHAN NO!" said the Assistant. "Red doesen't look for trouble. He happened to come across it. You really don't get your hero do you. Otherwise, take care of the egg."

With that, I went to bed.
