Chapter 46: Seel of approval

Par Mum's request, I decided to not go after Team Rocket today and just focus on my Gym battle. As I went out of the Pokémon Centre, the Nurse handed me a package from Lance. It was HM06 Whirlpool. It was a thank you present for the work I did yesterday.

I sat outside on a bench thinking about my strategy when suddenly, my bag started to float in the air. Not high off the ground, but just hover about a foot. It then seemed to float off. I gave chase and then jumped for my bag. It turned out to be a green Pokémon that could turn invisible. I went into my bag and took out the Pokedex.

No data.

That was odd. It was unidentifiable.

"Stealing bags again are we Kecleon?" I saw a man come over. "I am so sorry. Kecleon here is a mischievous little thing." I said it was fine. I asked him where he got Kecleon. "Oh. I lived in a region far north of here. I moved to Mahogany with Kecleon. You can't find them in Johto or Kanto." Interesting. I told him I had a Gym battle to get to and he wished me luck.

As soon as the doors opened, I got a chill. It was like an indoor tundra. I had to slide on the icy floor and take on the trainers.

First up was Boarder Ronald and his Seel.

Seel

176

Water Type

Sea Lion Pokémon

3'07" (1.1 m)

198.4 lbs (90 kg)

Although it can't walk well on land, it is a graceful swimmer. It especially loves being in frigid seas.

Ampharos was sent out. It used Thunder Punch which almost knocked out Seel. Seel came back with Aurora Beam, which Ampharos took. Ampharos finished it with one more Thunder Punch.

Another Seel was used and it was taken down in a similar manner.

Finally, was Dewgong.

Dewong

177

Water/Ice Type

Sea Lion Pokémon

5'07" (1.7 m)

246.6 lbs (120 kg)

It loves frigid seas with ice floes. It uses its long tail to change swimming direction quickly.

Evolved from Seel at Lv 34.

It basically went down with some Thunder Punch's to.

After a Pokémon Centre trip, I went for the next opponent. Her name was Skier Roxanne and her Pokémon Jynx.

Jynx

153

Ice/Psychic Type

Human Shape Pokémon

4'07" (1.4 m)

89.5 lbs (40.6 kg)

It rocks its body rhythmically. It appears to alter the depending on how it is feeling.

Evolved from the Baby Pokemon Smoochum at Lv 30.

I sent out Typhlosion. Typhlosion used Flame Wheel which did a lot of damage. Jynx barely hold on, but it came back with Ice Punch. That only did a little and Typhlosion took down Jynx.

I soon sled into the Gym Leader. Literally. I lost control of my slide and went straight into him. He was an old man to. "Well, I guess you will have to battle me then." He said. "My name is Pryce! Get ready to feel the chill!"

His first Pokemon was Seel and I used Ampharos. Ampharos used Thunder Punch on Seel. Seel then came back with Icy Wind. Ampharos seemed to be quite chilly, but no matter. I wanted Ampharos to use Thunder Punch again, but Seel used Headbutt first, making Ampharos flinch.

"Icy Wind can lower a Pokémon's speed" said Pryce.

It was a good strategy. Seel used Icy Wind again, and Ampharos took down Seel with Thunder Punch.

Next Pryce used Dewgong. Ampharos's speed was too low to attack first. Dewgong used Aurora Beam, which did quite a bit. Ampharos got in one last big Thunder Punch which almost took down Dewgong. Dewgong finished off Ampharos with Headbutt.

I sent out Togetic next. Metronome doesen't need to be anything too risky. Togetic used Metronome. It was out as Poison Power. Great! However, Dewgong did the unthinkable. It used Rest. It's posion was cured as it went to sleep and its HP was fully healed. That was frustrating. Togetic used Metronome again, and it came out as Vine Whip. Fair enough but didn't do major damage. I had one more try. Metronome this time came out as Sweet Scent, lowering Dewgong's Evasiveness. Dewgong at that moment woke up and blasted Togetic with Aurora Beam, knocking it out.

Graveler was next. Try lowering a slow Pokémon like Graveler's speed! Dewgong started off with Aurora Beam, which did hit. Graveler came back with Rock Throw. Dewgong used Aurora Beam again, but Graveler finished it off with a Critical Hit Rock Throw.

Pryce sent out his final Pokémon, Piloswine.

Piloswine

192

Ice/Ground Type

Swine Pokémon

3'07" (1.1 m)

123 lbs (55.8 kg)

Because the long hair all over its body obscures its sight, it just keeps charging repeatedly.

Evolved from Swinub at Lv 33.

Piloswine used Blizzard which froze Graveler. It was down.

It was Typhlosion time. Typhlosion used Flame Wheel on Piloswine, which hit for a lot. Piloswine came back with Fury Attack, but Typhlosion finished it off.

"Congratulations" Pryce said, handing me the Glacier Badge. "Your Pokémon braved the cold. I would also like you to have TM16, Icy Wind. Also, feel free to use Waterfall outside of battle."

Gym Badge 7. One more to go. As I sat on the same bench, the Trainer from earlier came over. "Congrats on your win!" he said. "Listen, sorry about Kecleon earlier." Kecleon looked guilty. "You know. This is a massive Pokémon world. Kanto and Johto are only a portion of it."

I couldn't agree more.
