Chapter 63: In the Raichu

Well, my first morning in Kanto. I wanted to take on the Gym right away, so I headed there.

On the way, I took in the surroundings. The sea air just made the calming atmosphere that more magical. Kanto was so much different to Johto.

After going into Vermillion Gym. I did this alongside battling multiple trainers. Nothing interesting though, I just swept em all with Graveler's Earthquake.

After no stress, I opened the door to the Gym Leader, Lt Surge. "So, cadet. You want a shocking battle?" I was ready. My first Gym Battle of Kanto.

First Lt Surge used Raichu, Pikachu's evolved form.

Raichu

023

Electric Type

Mouse Pokémon

2'07" (0.8 m)

66.1 lbs (30 kg)

When its electricity builds, its muscles are stimulated, and it becomes more aggressive than usual.

Evolved from Pikachu after subjection to a Thunder Stone which in turn evolves from the Baby Pokémon Pichu at max happiness.

I of course started with Graveler. Raichu used Thunder Wave to paralyze Graveler. Graveler managed to get in an Earthquake however to knock out Raichu with a Critical Hit.

Next Lt Surge sent out Electrode. Electrode used Screech, lowering Graveler's defense. Graveler tried an Earthquake, but it couldn't move. Electrode used Screech again. Graveler still couldn't move. Then Electrode used Explosion. This was a Critical Hit and Graveler was down, along with Electrode who fainted from the move.

"So. Your main Pokémon is down. What now?" taunted Lt Sure.

I didn't know. Suicune and Togetic were weak to Electric Type moves. I made my decision. I went with Ampharos.

"Nice to see a fellow Electric Type, and one from Johto no less. Don't get them in Kanto!"

Electrode started with Swift, which did hit Ampahros, but for not a lot. Ampharos used Fire Punch, which did a fair bit of damage to Electrode, mainly because of level difference. Electrode used Swift again and Ampharos finished with Fire Punch. Electrode fainted.

Next was Magneton. I switched in for Typhlosion. Typhlosion used Flame Wheel, almost knocking out Magneton. Magneton however came back with Zap Cannon. It hit and paralyzed Typhlosion. Typhlosion couldn't move the next turn and Magneton hit Typhlosion with Swift. Typhlosion used another Flame Wheel and this finished off Magneton.

Lt Surge's final Pokémon was Electabuzz, a yellow and black furry Pokémon.

Electabuzz

Its body constantly discharges electricity. Getting close to it will make your hair stand on end.

Evolved from the Baby Pokémon Elekid at Lv 30.

Electabuzz used ThunderPunch on Typhlosion, knocking it out.

"Your main and partner is down for this match. The pressure is real onto you now!"

I used Venomoth. Venomoth used Psychic. It hit Electabuzz. Electabuzz used with Light Screen. That was not helpful. Venomoth used Sludge Bomb, poisoning Electabuzz. It was almost down. Then, Electabuzz used Thunder. Venomoth was down.

Electabuzz felt the poison after that and fell to the ground.

"Congratulations soldier! You have won your first Gym challenge of Kanto! You get the Thunder Badge!"

What a first day.
