Chapter 4: Go Ed!

In the City's gym, the Eds battled everyone and won. Ed had a wider variety, Edd had a mixed arsenal and Eddy has power.

Now is the time to beat Roxanne, the Rock Gym Leader.

"I'll go battle Roxanne!" Eddy insisted. "You guys watch and learn!"

"Hello there!" Said a 10 year old gym leader. "I'm Roxanne the Top A student of this city!"

"Top A?!" Eddy said. "You and Double D should talk..." He said sarcastically.

"A?!" Edd said with joy.

"Indeed!" Roxanne explained with a grin and a hand on her hip. "I'm the best when it comes to Pokémon! I highly doubt your Pokémon can penetrate my rock hard defenses!"

"I got something else that can!" Eddy said with a smile of confidence.

"Eddy!" Said Edd with a disturbed tone. Roxanne giggled as she wasn't dumb.

"Talk all you want, but you won't get my v- badge!" Roxanne blushed.

"Let's get ready to rumble!" The announcer spoke.

(Gym Battle Begin)

(Roxanne: 2

Eddy: 2)

(Roxanne wants to battle!)

(Roxanne sends out Nosepass!)

"Nose!" Nosepass posed.

"Zubat! Go!" Eddy sends out his 2nd Pokémon. "Zubat, use Poison Fang!"

"Nosepass! Use Roll Out!" Roxanne ordered.

Nosepass connects first, leaving Zubat a mouth full of pain. (Zubat 10%)

"Oh no!" Eddy shouted. "Zubat!"

"Told ya you can't penetrate my rock hard defenses!" Roxanne winked.

Eddy growled. Nosepass connects again and knocks out Zubat.

"Zubat return!" Eddy ordered. "Go Piplup!"

"A water type? Smart move there!" Roxanne giggled again. "But it won't save you this time!"

"Oh yeah?! Piplup use Bubblebeam!" Eddy ordered. Nosepass tackled through all the bubbles and tackled Piplup! (Piplup 32%) (Nosepasa 7%)

(Nosepass gets hurt by bad poison!) (Nosepass 0% KO)

"What?!" Roxanne gets surprised.

"I left her Nosepass poisoned the whole time!" Eddy grinned menacingly.

"How?!" Roxanne then realized. "Oh, you powered it with a Sludge Stone..."

"Yeeeeup!" Eddy snaps his fingers to her. Eddy heals Piplup to full health, sacrificing a turn.

"Rockruff! Accelerock!" Roxanne called out and the Pokémon immediately attacked. (Piplup 78%)

"Piplup! Bubblebeam again!" Eddy ordered.

"Rockruff! Accelerock!" Roxanne ordered as Rockruff jumped into a cloud full of heavy water bubbles.

(Piplup 55%) (Rockruff 1%)

(Rockruff hang on to Gold Berry and recovered.)

(Rockruff 51%)

"No matter!" Eddy shouted.

"Oh no!" Roxanne looked at the chances of her to win are 0%.

"Piplup! Finish with Bubblebeam!" Eddy ordered.

"Rockruff! Rock Tomb!" Roxanne ordered.

The rocks and bubbles clashed, but the bubbles carried the rocks to slam into Rockruff. (Rockruff 0% KO) (Piplup 23%)

"The winner is! Visitor Team!" The announcer announced.

(Eds received $3.00)

"Well, you did well..." Roxanne sighed and smiled.

"Why thank you, Ms-" Eddy tried charming.

"I mean you with the cap." Roxanne pointed to Edd.

"Sockhead?!" Eddy asked. "He didn't battle!"

"You knew he was going to win, either him or you." Roxanne complemented. "Either way, you guys earned my badge."

Roxanne gave Edd the Crystal Badge.

"What was that?!" Eddy asked. "I won the fight!"

"Either way, you now have won my badge." Roxanne finished. "You are off to a good start already. I'll see you around."

She walks out of the gym, and closed the door.

"YOU made the battle?!" Eddy shouts at Edd. "I won the fight!"

"I pretty much knew either you and I should win either ways for Rock is weak to Water and Grass." Edd explained. "It would still end the same way."

"Oh, and you with the Piplup, see you on the PWT~" The speaker with Roxanne's voice announced.

Eddy growled and walks to the door, the Eds followed.

Right outside, the Eds see Roxanne cornered by a few grunts.

"Hey! Let go of my Pokémon!" Roxanne shouted holding her Pokéball.

It was none other than Team Rocket.

"Gimme your Pokémon!" One grunt shouted.

"Hey!" Ed shouted. "You wanna fight?!"

"Oh, look at this smelly boy!" A grunt insulted. "Since when was the last time you took a bath?!"

Ed sniffed himself, like it was nothing.

"Whatever!" Another grunt shouted. "Take their Pokémon!"

The 3 grunts attacked the Eds.

(Battle Skipped)

After Eddy, who carried the team with a now evolved Prinplup, defeated the grunts after Edd's Rowlet, now Dartrix, was downed by a Dustrailian Rattata (Poison/Normal) and Ed's Cyndaquil, now Quilava, was downed by Rockruff (Rock).

"Let's get out of here!" The grunts ran.

"Aw yeah!" Eddy high fived, or flippered, his Prinplup. "Prinplup and Eddy! Champs of the new Connection!"

"I knew I can count on you!" Roxanne giggled.

"Oh, uh thanks?" Edd was then interrupted.

"I mean you with the Prinplup." Roxanne pointed.

"Me?!" Eddy shouted. "YES!!"

"You got quite the talent!" Roxanne smiled. "I will definitely WILL challenge you at the PWT!"

Eddy blushed green with Prinplup smacking his back with his flipper.

"Hey! I - I'm not blushing!" Eddy explained.

"Eddy has a girlfriend!" Ed shouted.

"Hey! We're just rivals!" Eddy shouted. "Say that again and we're gonna battle!"

"Relax Eddy." Edd explained. "We gotta move on to the next city. After all..." Edd looked at the grunts running away. "I have no idea what is in store..."
