Chapter 19: Miltank Girl

It was time for my Goldenrod Gym Challenge. I decided not to use Togepi as If it got knocked out, it would not be as close with me, and I want Togepi to grow up, so I also retrieved my Paras that I had barely trained.

First of all, the Gym was a maze. It was very feminine and cute.

I went around and bumped into a Beauty who wanted to battle with me.

She used a Meowth.

Meowth

136

Normal Type

Scratch Cat Pokémon

1'04" (0.4 m)

9.3 lbs (4.2 kg)

It loves anything that shines. It especially adores coins that it picks up and secretly hoards.

I sent out Geodude. Meowth used Bite, though Geodude took it. Geodude used Rock Throw, which did a lot to Meowth. Even another Bite couldn't beat Geodude. Geodude used Rock Throw again knocking out Meowth.

Shortly after that, I came across a Lass. She used a Snubbull.

Snubbull

123

Normal Type

Fairy Pokémon

2'00" (0.6 m)

17.2 lbs (7.8 kg)

Although it looks frightening, it is actually kind and affectionate. It is very popular among women.

I sent out Hoothoot. Hoothoot used Hypnosis which put Snubbull to sleep. Hoothoot then used Peck. It did this a few times then Snubbull woke up. Snubbull used Bite, which did quite a bit to Hoothoot, but Hoothoot used used a Critical Hit Peck. Snubbull got in one more Bite, though Hoothoot took it down.

"You sure are strong!" said the Lass, as she looked at Hoothoot, who was shaking a little bit. "Say, what's wrong with your Hoothoot?"

I looked at it. Hoothoot was now glowing. I knew exactly what was happening. When the glowing stopped, it was a different Pokémon.

Noctowl

016

Normal/Flying Type

Owl Pokémon

5'03" (1.6 m)

89.9 lbs (40.8 kg)

When it needs to think, it rotates its head 180 degrees to sharpen its intellectual power.

Evolved from Hoothoot at Lv 20.

Time to continue. After battling through some more trainers (which had Pokémon that I had seen before), I went back to the Pokémon Centre, healed my Pokémon and reached the Gym Leader.

"Hiiiiiii! I'm Whitney, The Incredibly Pretty Girl!" She looked harmless enough. "Now, where do we start?"

Her first Pokémon was Clefairy.

Clefairy

041

Normal Type

Fairy Pokémon

2'00" (0.6 m)

16.5 lbs (7.5 kg)

The moonlight that it stores in the wings on its back apparently gives it the ability to float in midair.

Evolved from the Baby Pokémon Cleffa after leveling up at high happiness.

My Pokémon was Quilava. Qukava used the new Quick Attack move on Clefairy, which hit. Clefairy came back with Encore. I didn't know what that was, so I wanted Quilava to used Ember, but instead, it used Quick Attack again. I was confused, but then Whitney gave me an explanation.

"You can't use Ember for a little while. Encore disables all moves except for the last move used."

Well that stressed me out. I just had to go with it. Clefairy came back with DoubleSlap, which hit Quilava 4 times. This was a nuisance. Quilava used Quick Attack again, but then Clefairy used Metronome. Anything could happen here. The move that came out was Bone Club. This did a lot to Quilava due to its Typing of Ground against Fire and almost took Quilava out. Quilava used one more Quick Attack but Clefairy used Double Slap on it. Quilava was out for the count.

I sent out Noctowl. Noctowl used Peck on Clefairy. That almost did it, and Clefariy used Encore. I was fine this time. Noctowl used Peck one more time and Clefairy was done for.

"Oh we are having fun now" Whitney said. There was a funny look on her face. She still looked like the happy-go-lucky Whitney, but she seemed to be enjoying this. A lot. "SEE HOW YOU DO AGAINST THIS!"

She sent out her other Pokémon, Miltank.

Miltank

149

Normal Type

Milk Cow Pokémon

3'11" (1.2 m)

166.4 lbs (75.5 kg)

Its milk is packed with nutrition, making it the ultimate beverage for the sick and weary.

Noctowl used Peck on Miltank, but Miltank came back with Rollout. This hit Noctowl hard especially given this was a Rock Type move on a Flying Type, though Noctowl used Peck again. Miltank used Rollout once again, but this time it was stronger. This knocked out Noctowl.

I recalled Noctowl in grief. I tried Flaaffy. Maybe it could take it. Flaaffy used Thunder Shock but Miltank came at Flaaffy with full force. It knocked it back. Flaaffy tried Thunder Shock again but Miltank was just too strong for it. It knocked out Flaaffy.

Next was Geodude. Geodude used Rock Throw on Miltank, though Miltank hit Geodude with Rollout, which it took. Miltank stopped using after that. It was looking tired now. A good sign. I could actually finish this. Geodude this time used Magnitude, which was Magnitude 8. Miltank was almost done for. Then, it did the unthinkable. It used Milk Drink, recovering its HP.

YOU ARE FREAKING KIDDING ME!

Maybe another Magniture could do it. Nope, it came out as Magniture 4, which is very weak. When I thought it couldn't get any more infuriating, Miltank used Attract. Miltank is a Female and Geodude is a Male, so it worked. I wanted Geodude to use Magnitude again, but it was too infatuated by Miltank to do so. Miltank used Rollout again. This kept hitting Geodude who just couldn't move and eventually knocked it out.

All I had left was Paras. A Lv 7 Paras. I sent it out and…

"So you lost to?" asked Nurse Joy at the Pokémon Centre. All my Pokémon came back with band aids, it was that brutal. "They will be fine in the morning" she said.

I clearly needed some more training, so I decided that tomorrow I would do some training tomorrow on Route 35. But now, I needed to sleep.
