52. Chapter 52: Return of the Kingdra

Chapter 52: Return of the Kingdra

It was time for the Gym Battle at Blackthorn City Gym. However, I knew it was time to beef up my Pokémon with TM's. I saw the Pokemon I was using.

Typhlosion

Venomoth

Togetic

Ampharos

Graveler

Suicune

I then looked at my TM collection. Yeah I have collected a lot, but I got fed up of writing about the ones I collected.

I entered the Gym. This was it. My big challenge. "You. My name is Cody". I saw a Cool Trainer. "Let's battle!"

His first Pokemon was Horsea and I sent out Ampharos. Horsea used Twister on Ampharos, which also caused Ampharos to Flinch. Horsea then used Water Gun. Ampharos came back with ThunderPunch, knocking out Horsea.

His other Pokémon was Seadra.

Seadra

187

Water Type

Dragon Pokémon

3'11" (1.2 m)

55.1 lbs (25 kg)

Its fin-tips leak poison. Its fins and bones are highly valued as ingredients in herbal medicine.

Evolved from Horsea at Lv 32.

Seadra once again used Twister. Ampharos didn't flinch this time though and went in for a ThunderPunch. It was a Critical Hit and knocked out Ampharos.

After battling some Trainers, I finally made it to the Gym Leader. "My name is Clair" she mentioned. "I am one with the Dragon Type. This is the big challenge before you can take on the Indigo Plateau, so you better be prepared!"

Clair's first Pokémon was Dragonair.

Dragonair

242

Dragon Type

Dragon Pokémon

13'01" (4 m)

36.4 lbs (16.5 kg)

They say that if it emits an aura from its whole body, the weather will begin to change instantly.

Evolved from Dratini at Lv 30.

I started with Suicune. It was time to use one of Suicune's new moves. Suicune used Icy Wind on Dragonair, which did Super Effective damage and lowered its speed, but also didn't do a lot. Ice Wind wasn't the strongest move ever. Dragonair came back with DragonBreath however which did some damage, but Suicune still held on. Suicune used Ice Wind again, with Dragonair returning for another Dragonbreath. This paralyzed Suicune, so I recalled it.

It was time to use Venomoth. Dragonair used Slam, which Venomoth took. Venomoth came back its new move Sludge Bomb. This knocked out Dragonair.

Clair used another Dragonair. I decided to keep Venomoth out. Venomoth used Sludge Bomb, but Dragonair came back with Thhunderbolt. This was very powerful and Venomoth took quite a bit. Venomoth got in one more Sludge Bomb. This poisoned Dragonair and was the final thing it could do before being zapped for a final time by Thunderbolt.

Next was Graveler. I knew what to try here; Dynamic Punch. Graveler punched Dragonair which almost knocked it out and confused it. Dragonair hit itself and the poison also finished it.

Another Dragonair was used. Graveler went in for another DynamicPunch, but it missed. DynamicPunch has awful accuracy, that's its downside. Dragonair used Ice Beam, which froze Graveler in its place. It couldn't move. Dragonair gave it another Ice Beam and knocked Graveler out.

Typhlosion could take the cold. This was a little bit silly though because Fire Types moves arne't good on Dragonair and I didn't teach Typhlosion anything. Instead, Typhlosion used SmokeScreen, which hindered Dragonair's vision. It helped to, as Dragonair's DragonBreath missed. Typlhosion did another SmokeScreen, which once again lowered accuracy. Dragonair's DragonBreath hit Typlhosion though and it was paralyzed. Typhlosion used Flame Wheel, which whilst not very effective, burned Dragonair. Dragonair used DragonBreath again, which was a Critical Hit on Typhlosion. Typlhosion was paralyzed that turn and couldn't move and Dragonair's DragonBreath missed. Typhlosion used Flame Wheel again, but it missed and Dragonair finished off Typhlosion with Slam.

I sent out Suicune to finish of Dragonair with one more Ice Wind.

"In my Pokeball, I have your final obstacle between you and the Badge" Clair said. "THIS IS YOUR ULTIMATE TEST!"

It was a Kingdra, a big blue Pokémon with a long mouth and an intimidating stare.

Kingdra

188

Water/Dragon Type

5'11" (1.8 m)

335.1 lbs (152 kg)

It is said this it usually hides in underwater caves. It can create whirlpools by yawning.

Evolved from Seadra after being traded with a Dragon Scale which in turn evolved from Horsea at Lv 32.

Suicune used Icy Wind on Kingdra, lowering its speed in the process. Kingdra however came back with Hyper Beam.

Suicune was down. It took down a Legendary.

Next was Togetic. Kingdra needed to recharge from the Hyper Beam, so Togetic used its chance to get in two Metronomes. The first Metronome came out as Vine Whip, pretty weak. The next Metronome however was Thunder. This hit Kingdra big time. Kingdra came back with Hyper Beam, almost knocking out Togetic. Togetic used another Metronome. It was Ember, which did very little. The two of us decided not to risk it. I looked at Togetic and Togetic charged towards Kingdra with all its might, knocking it back. That however had tired out Togetic. I was proud at Togetic for learning Double Edge, but it needed its rest now.

I sent out Ampharos. It was all or nothing. With one fell swoop, Ampharos used ThunderPunch…

Critical Hit!

Kingdra fell to the floor.

"You have beaten me" said Clair. "However, I cannot give you the Badge just yet."

I was shocked. "Meet me at Dragon's Den tomorrow. There is one final test." I guess I had no choice.

Coming (not so) soon… Pokémon The Journey: RS!
