23. Chapter 23: An un-ordinary rematch

Chapter 23: A rematch out of the ordinary

With my Pokémon now stronger, I was ready to take on Whitney again.

I went into the Gym and came face to face with her. This was going to be a fun match.

She first sent out Clefairy. I sent out Quilava and it used Ember. Clefairy used Encore. This was the move I wanted to use. My strategy was working. Quilava used Ember again, burning Clefairy. Clefairy came back with Metronome. Clefairy started whipping up a wind. Quilava used Ember once again. Clefairy was almost down. Clefairy then used its Metronome, Razor Wind. This didn't do much. Quilava used Ember one more time and Clefairy went down.

Next up was Miltank. Quilava used Ember on Miltank, which did some damage but not a lot. Miltank then came back with Attract. At that point, Quilava's Encore wore off, but I wanted to use Ember anyway. That didn't work as Quilava was infatuated. Miltank used Rollout on Quilava, which was Super Effective. Quilava did get in one more Ember before succumbing to the Rollout.

Next up was Geodude. Geodude used Magnitude on Miltank. This was Magnitude 8, a real hitter. Geodude was also able to take the next Rollout. Of course Miltank couldn't heal itself because it was too busy rolling. Geodude used Magnitude again, which put Miltank in the high red HP. Rollout was now very powerful and knocked out Geodude with a Critical Hit.

I finished with Venonat. Venonat used Confusion, which also confused Miltank. The next turn, Miltank hurt itself and fell.

I had won!

"WAAAAAHHHH! I LOOOSSSTTT!" cried Whitney. At that point, one of the trainers came over and told me to calm her down. I asked if she was alright. She said she was and handed me the Plain Badge. I thanked her and she also gave me TM45 Attract! This could come in handy!

I had some time to waste in Goldenrod so I decided to check out the Game Corner, Flower Shop and Mall. First, the Game Corner.

I lost all my money.

I walked out and saw someone literally have coins pouring out of their machine. They then went over to the Counter and received a Pokémon.

Dratini

241

Dragon Type

Dragon Pokémon

5'11" (1.8 m)

7.3 lbs (3.3 kg)

It is born large to start with. It repeatedly sheds its skin as it steadily grows longer.

I then went to the Flower Shop. I thought I would send some flowers to Mum to let her know I was fine. I looked around and saw some nice red flowers. I went for them but I ended up grabbing something.

Bellossom

086

Grass Type

1'04" (0.4 m)

12.8 lbs (5.8 kg)

Plentiful in the tropics. When it dances, its petals rub together and make a pleasant ringing sound.

Evolved from Gloom after exposure to a Sun Stone which in turn evolves from Oddish at Lv 21.

"Bellossom, what have I told you about hiding in the flowers? Customers get a nasty shock. Sorry. Here, I have some flowers for you."

She went and got me some flowers from behind the desk.

"IS THAT THE PLAIN BADGE? Well, in that case, a free gift for you".

She got me a Squirt Bottle, a watering can in the shape of a Squirtle.

"Try using it on the tree that is blocking the Violet City road" she said.

After some shopping, I was shattered. What did she mean by watering the tree anyway? I went to sleep afterwards.
