Chapter 86: The Venomoth prophecy
I was now in Fuchsia City. The place had been is a depressed state since the Safari Zone closed. Shame. I did want to check it out.
Anyway. I was here for a Gym challenge.
After battling through the Trainers, I came upon a familiar face. "Long time no see". It was Janine! "I told you we would battle eventually" she said. "Handling a Gym is hard. But today, I will show you the power of Poison!"
Janine started with Crobat and I started with Ampharos. Ampharos used ThunderPunch and knocked out Crobat in one.
Janine used Weezing. Ampharos used ThunderPunch and finished it.
Another Weezing was used. Ampharos used ThunderPunch, but it missed. Weezing used Toxic, badly poisoning Ampharos. Ampharos used another ThunderPunch and Weezing fell.
Next was Ariados. I used Typhlosion. Typhlosion used Flamethrower and Ariados fell.
Finally, was a Pokémon I was familiar with; Venomoth. Typhlosion used Flamethrower and it fell like a Venomoth to a flame.
"I lost?" Janine said in a sad state. "I mean, here is the Soul Badge and TM06. It contains Toxic. NOW LEAVE!" That seemed harsh, but I did.
I was planning to sort of just have a relax for the rest of the day. Whilst I was having lunch, I noticed Janine sitting on a bench. I went out to see here.
"Go away" she said. "If I'm not able to defeat a single Pokémon, why am I a Gym Leader?"
"Because you have just started." The voice was coming from Koga. "Dad!" Janine said, hugging him. "He beat me!" Koga gave a sigh. "Because Janine you are a beginner. I have told you this. Part of being a Gym Leader is accepting loss." Janine was in tears. I apologised. "No need. You have it your all. That is what is expecting".
Janine wiped her eyes. "I guess I should apologise" she said. "I'm still new to all of this." Koga smiled. "I suppose the next stop is Cinnibar Island. Just Surf over" he told me.
