Chapter 90: Beat Blue

Here I was. Viridian City Gym. I saw him. My final Gym Leader and Red's rival, Blue.

"So here we are" he said. "You have come far. But this will be one of your biggest challenges yet" he told me. "Let's begin!"

Blue started with Pidgeot and I started with Ampharos. Pidgeot used Quick Attack, which hit for a bit. Ampharos used Thunder, but it missed. Pidgeot then used Mirror Move. This allowed it to use Thunder and it did some damage to Ampharos. Ampharos used Thunder back. This time it hit Pidgeot and it was knocked out.

Next was Alakazam. Alakazam used Disable, not allowing Ampharos to used Thunder. Alakazam used Psychic. It was a Critical Hit. Ampharos was almost down. Ampharos used Light Screen. If it couldn't take down Alakazam, then it could certainly protect the rest of the team. Alakazam used another Psychic. Ampharos was defeated.

Next was Togetic. Togetic used Shadow Ball. Super Effective. Alakazam used Reflect. Shadow Ball wouldn't work as well now. Togetic used Metronome. The move it used was Fire Blast! This hit Alakazam for a fair amount. Alakazam used Psychic. The Light Screen halved damage, but it was still very strong. Togetic used Metronome again. This time it was Dragon Rage. It dealt 40 damage to Alakazam. Alakazam then used Recover, healing it. Togetic used another Metronome. This time it was Earthquake. It did some damage. Alakazam used another Psychic. Togetic barely held on and Light Screen wore off. Togetic used one more Metronome. It was Crunch. Just what I needed! It knocked out Alakazam.

The next Pokémon was Rhydon. I knew Togetic couldn't take it, so my best bet was Metronome. Togetic used it.

It was Thuderbolt. Rhydon didn't feel a thing. It used Rock Slide and knocked it out.

I used Suicune. Suicune used BubbleBeam which did a lot to Rhydon. Rhydon used Earthquake. This did a lot of damage. Suicune used another BubbleBeam. Rhydon was down.

Blue sent out Exeggutor. Suicune used Icy Wind. Exeggutor's speed was lowered, but Exeggutor is already a slow Pokémon so it didn't seem worth it. Exeggutor used Sunny Day. The sun started beaming brightly through the Gym. Suicune used Icy Wind. But then Exeggutor used SolarBeam. The bright light hit Suicune, knocking it out.

I used Typhlosion next. Typhlosion used Flamethrower. Fire Type moves are powered up sunny weather and Exeggutor was knocked out.

Blue sent out Arcanine.

Arcanine

128

Fire Type

Legendary Pokémon

6'03" (1.9 m)

341.7 lbs (155 kg)

This legendary ancient Pokémon is considered magnificent. Many people are enchanted by its grand mane.

Evolved from Growlithe after subjection to a Fire Stone.

Note: Arcanine not actually Legendary Pokémon. Pokedex entry slightly altered.

Typhlosion used Swift. It hit. Arcanine used Flamethrower. It hit back. Typhlosion used Flamethrower. Arcanine did it to.

It kept doing that back and forth. Eventually though, Arcanine fell.

By that time, the bright sun had subsided.

"So. It is time for my final Pokémon" Blue said. "This is a Pokémon that has been with me since the very beginning. It was the Pokémon from my first battle and my latest. Let's go!"

It was Blastoise. I couldn't believe I was battling it.

Typhlosion used Swift. Blastoise then used Rain Dance. It started raining heavily. Typhlosion used Swift again, but Blastoise used Hydro Pump. Typhlosion was down.

Next was Golem. Golem used Earthquake. It did a fair bit, but Blastoise's hard shell took it. Blastoise used Hydro Pump, but it missed. Golem used another Earthquake. Blastoise used Hydro Pump again. This time it hit, and Golem was down.

I only had Venomoth left. Venomoth used Psychic. Blastoise was almost down. Blastoise used one more Hydro Pump…

…Venomoth survived! Venomoth used Psychic and knocked out Blastoise!

"Congratulations" said Blue. "You now have all the Gym Badges." He threw the Earth Badge at me. "This brings me back" he said. "Back then, Giovanni ran this Gym and Red himself was doing the battle of the century." Blue gave me a thumbs up. "With that, you now have all the Gym Badges! What is your plan now?"

I told him what I was going to do. "I see" he said. "Well, good luck with that."

Later that day, I had a big celebration with my Pokémon, complete with a big cake. It was held at the Pokémon Centre.

Whilst my Pokémon munched away, a stood outside. I saw Mt Silver, its snowy summit piercing the clouds like a sword.

"You may train a bit more". It was Mewtwo. I told it I was nervous. "I know that. Mt Silver is not friendly. But it is your final test. You may do some training before you go up."

I did think about this, but Mewtwo was right. I would now travel Kanto levelling up my Pokémon.

I will not chronicle this though as my journal is now running out of pages.
