Chapter 37: What a Steel

Today was the day of the 6th Gym challenge against Jasmine. There were no Trainers in the Gym, just a straight path to the Gym Leader.

"I want to thank you again for saving Amphy" Jasmine mentioned. "As a thank you, you are allowed to witness the power of Steel Types!"

Jasmine sent out Magnemite and I sent out Graveler. Magnemite used SonicBoom which took 20hp away from Graveler. Graveler used Magnitude 8 which really hit Magnemite. Magnemite was down.

Jasmine sent out another Magnemite which used SonicBoom, taking away another 20hp. Graveler used Magnitude 7, which once again knocked out Magnemite.

Jasmine then sent out her final Pokémon, which towered above me.

Steelix

063

Steel/Ground Type

Iron Snake Pokémon

30'02" (9.2 m)

881.8 lbs (400 kg)

Its body has been compressed deep under the ground. As a result, it is even harder than a diamond.

Evolved from Onix when traded holding a Metal Coat.

Steelix used Iron Tail on Graveler, knocking it out.

This would not be easy. I sent out Politoed. Politoed used Surf. It missed. Steelix used Sunny Day. The ceiling to the Gym opened up and the sun shone ever so bright. Politoed used Surf. It hit but didn't do much. "I guess you could say that the sun has evaporated the damage of Water Type moves!" Jasmine taunted (in a nice way). Steelix used Screech. Politoed came back with Surf, but it only did so much. Steelix used Rock Throw. It almost knocked out Politoed. Politoed used one more Surf, but Steelix took it down with one more Rock Throw afterwards.

I sent out Quilava. I guess I would make use of the sun. I wanted Quilava to use Ember, but instead it curled up into a ball. Then it set itself ablaze. Quilava then rolled its flaming body into Steelix, almost knocking it out.

Quilava had learned Flame Wheel!

Steelix was burned by this move. Steelix used Rock Throw which hit Quilava. Steelix was then taken out by the burn.

"What a great battle" said Jasmine. "Here is the Mineral Badge as victory proof if this Gym along with TM23, which has Iron Tail. Use it well!"

At the Pokemon Centre that afternoon, I got a message from Nurse Joy. "Jasmine has confirmed that Ampharos is all better now. The Sailor would like to meet you at the Lighthouse to thank you personally and to trade you back Flaaffy."

I went up Glitter Lighthouse and met the Sailor along with Jasmine and Ampharos. "This is a very good Flaaffy you have" said the Sailor, looking for its Pokeball. I found Politoed's Pokeball and we traded back. "So, as a thank you, may I please have the honour of having Politoed battle Flaaffy?"

I agreed.

Flaaffy used Thunder Shock on Politoed. Politoed became paralyzed and couldn't move. Flaaffy then used another Thunder Shock on Politoed. Politoed came back with Strength. Flaaffy used another Thunder Shock which was a Critical Hit. Politoed used Surf. Flaaffy was barely hanging on, but so was Politoed. Flaaffy used one more Thunder Shock, knocking out Politoed.

"Yes, your Flaaffy is both helpful and strong" said the Sailor. "Anyway, there is a reason I wanted to battle it" he said, as he pointed to Flaaffy who was now glowing.

The glowing got brighter and brighter. Once the glowing had stopped, Flaaffy had evolved into an Ampharos!

"I guess you will be on your way tomorrow" said Jasmine. My Ampharos and Jasmine's Ampharos both shook hands. "Looks like you two boys have become best friends!" Jasmine noted. I told Ampharos that we will certainly be visiting Olivine City again to see Jasmine and her Ampharos.

I needed a good nights sleep.
