Chapter 17: Vs Burgh
Time: 7:00 AM
After a few days of preparing and waiting for the gym to reopen, the day was today and our heroes are past asleep. The sun was coming up and it hit Kirby's face with a bright sunlight. Kirby stirred a bit before opening his eyes slowly and sat up. He looked around the room for awhile and found Ash next to Pikachu with both having a small smile. Iris sleeping with Axew in here hair while sticking out his head. Kirby just stared at them for awhile before he heard a loud rumble and sighed. He got off his bed and went up to his bag to grab his frying pan. He swallowed it then jumped up in the air.
Transformation Begin!
Kirby spun very fast and a chef's hat appeared on his head when he stopped, then he expected a frying pan to appear in his hand but hit him in the face, giving him a light concussion but grabbed it then posed very confidently.
Transformation Finished!
Kirby landed back on the ground and mentally sighed. He looked back at his bed and found Echo and Eva slowly getting up while groaning. They both jumped out off the bed and walked next to Kirby.
{Hey Kirby. What yaa~ doing?} Echo said with a sleepy tone. Kirby showed his frying pan and Echo instantly smiled.
{Yea! Food!} Echo yelled.
{It's a good time fore breakfast anyways.} Eva said while grabbing the plates from Kirby's bag. Kirby grebbed his hat and took out four Pokeballs.
"Sky, Leon, Helios, Zoey. Come on out." He called. All four Pokeballs opened up and each Pokemon came out. They stretch first before walking up to Kirby.
"Alright guys, what do you want to eat?" He asked. He passed out six papers to them and each marked a piece of food to eat. Kirby picked up the papers and checked the poll.
Three for Rice Omelette.
One for Egg Toast.
Two for Fried Apples.
"Alright, we're having Rice Omelette today." Kirby said. He went to a corner and started to pop up ingredients. Pikachu ears twitch and sat up slowly. He rubbed his eye and looked at Kirby's bed. He saw nobody on it and got off the bed. He heard lot's of chatter and clinging in a corner and looked over it. He saw Kirby cooking while his Pokemon were relaxing and talking to each other for awhile. Pikachu jumped off his beg and went to Ash's belt. He tapped five Pokeballs and they open to release Oshawott, Tepig, Sewaddle, Tranquill, and a Snivy. Then he went to get Cilan's Pokeballs and tapped them, a Pansage and a bug Pokemon with a rock as it shell came out. Lastly he ran over to Axew and tapped his head to get his attention. Axew woke up and got out of Iris's hair and walked next to Pikachu.
{Why did you wake us up so early Pikachu?} Oshawott questioned.
{Yea, what's going on?} Tepig asked next. Then all the Pokemon started to ask the same question as Pikachu just hushed them.
{Look over there.} He simply said. Every Pokemon turned their heads and saw a Pink Puff Ball serving his Pokemon with a large smile. While Every Pokemon awed at his treatment to his Pokemon, Oshawott mouth was watering as he eyes the food he was serving.
{I'm gonna get some of that!} He yelled and ran over there.
{Oshawott wait!} Pikachu yelled and chased after him. The other Pokemon shrugged and followed them.
Kirby's Pokemon were chatting about the next gym battle while Kirby was serving them their meals. Zoey started to eat the food but realized that someone was missing.
{Hey, where's Rammus?} She asked. Leon looked up at her and pointed at Kirby.
{He switch Rammus with me.} He said. Zoey had a sad face then sighed.
{Aww, I won't get to tease him today.} She said with one paw on her cheek. Eva and Echo sweat dropped at the comment but continue to eat their food. They heard a loud screech and turned their heads. They found a otter swinging a fork with eyes of hunger. Kirby stopped cooking for awhile and summoned a new plate that contained a small ghost pepper. He threw it in a bowl and grabbed a plate to pour really red chicken and white rice on it. He looked over to the otter and sighed.
"Order up." He said, then threw it to the otter. Oshawott's eyes sparkled when he saw food coming his way. he dropped his fork and open his mouth wide to eat the food entirely and spat out the plate.
{...} Kirby's Pokemon were silent to what they just witness. They looked over to Kirby who was continuing to cook and had a small timer next to him.
"Three." He counted. Oshawott eyes widen.
"Two." Kirby continued. Oshawott whole entire body turned red and was sweating a lot.
"One." Kirby put his frying pan down and clapped once before he continued to cook. Pikachu got next to Oshawott and was confused at the quiet otter.
{Oshawott?} He called out. He turned him around and found his lively eyes blank and his whole body red. The rest of the Pokemon went up to him and had the same question.
{Is he okay?} Tranquill asked. Pikachu shrugged and waved his hand in front of him. Tepig went up to him and tried to talk to him.
{Oshawott, are you there buddy.} He asked. Oshawott didn't respond and every Pokemon got worried except Snivy and Sewaddle.
{Hot.} He simply said. They got confuse until Oshawott jumped up and release a long stream of fire that made him run around with his mouth wide open. He went to his Pokeball and return himself back inside. Everyone was left confuse but just shrugged it off.
{Well, let's meet Kirby.} Pikachu said. Snivy eyes widen at the name but stayed quiet as Pikachu and the others had bright smiles.
"Guess I should have been nice to him... naw, he disturb everybody." Kirby said and place the last Rice Omelette on the plate. Echo tilted his head and raised his paw.
{Kirby?} He yelled.
"What is it Echo?" He asked.
{Why did you cook Eight extra Rice Omelettes?} He asked. Kirby smiled and pointed at the Pokemon coming over to eat. They sat down while Kirby passed out the food to them.
"Eat as much as you like guys." He said and was about to walk away when he spotted Snivy looking at him. His smile enhanced and ran over to her.
"Snivy!" He yelled. Snivy waved at him with a small smile but heard a vine coming out. She looked at the vine and followed it to find Eva holding it out to her. She followed the vine and sat next to her.
{It's good to see you again Snivy.} Eva said. Snivy just closed her eyes and stretch her vine.
{Ditto Eva.} She said. Kirby stepped up to her and gave her a serving of Rice Omelette.
"Enjoy it Snivy, and also, I'm glad that you found your trainer." He said and ran to his seat. Snivy looked at him then at the plate to simply giggle and eat her food in peace.
*Sniff* *Sniff*
"Hmm, Cilan, is it breakfast already?" Ash asked, getting up slowly. Cilan got up from his bed and checked the time.
Time: 7:27 AM
"No Ash, but I do smell something food." He added. Iris got up next and rubbed her left eye.
"This smell is making me hungry." She said and got out of her bed. She closed her eyes and started to sniff the air to follow the scent. She walked to a corner of a room and found all the Pokemon gathered up.
"Iris, did you found the source of the smell?" Cilan asked.
"Yea, it was Kirby." She said. Ash got out of bed and ran next to her. He found Pikachu eating next to Echo and the rest of his Pokemon eating with one of Kirby's Members. (Except Oshawott and Excadrill.) Kirby was eating this time and looked up.
"Morning Ash, Iris, Cilan." He said.
"Morning Kirby." All three said at the same time.
"What are you doing so up early." Cilan said. Kirby looked at his Pokemon who tilted their head then back at the trainers.
"I always wake up this early to train." Kirby said. The trainers looked at each other but decided to shake it off and prepare a table. Kirby jumped on it and placed three Rice Omelettes down.
"Enjoy." He said and jumped off the table. He ran to his food and continue to eat them. Cilan took a bit off the food and eyes widen.
"My Arceus this is good." Cilan said. Iris and Ash did the same and both eyes widen.
"Your right." Iris said.
"This is good." Ash agreed. Kirby smiled at the complements and continue to eat his breakfast in peace.
"Pokemon Black and White Adventure Song, Opening 1 Play Here"
Narrator Voice: After finishing their breakfast, Ash and Kirby decided to finish their last minite training before they face against Burgh.
Time: 7:59 AM
"Tepig, use Flame Charge!" Ash yelled. Tepig started to stomp his feet and picked up his pace to create a huge cloud of dust and charged out of it with his entire body covered in fire aura.
"Leon, dodge it!" Kirby ordered. Leon lunged himself to the left to dodge it.
"Turn around and use Tackle Tepig!" Ash yelled. Tepig made a U-turn and ran towards Leon.
"Stop!" Cilan yelled. Tepig kid to a halt and looked at Cilan along with Leon.
"The Gym is almost open guys, we should get going." Iris said. Kirby and Ash nodded before taking out their Pokeballs. Tepig and Leon gave each other a hand shake before being return inside the Pokeball.
"Let's go heal our Pokemon first then head to the Gym Ash." Kirby said.
"Alright." Ash agreed and walked with Kirby inside. They gave their Pokeballs to Nurse Joy and waited for a couple of minutes. Nurse Joy called for them and they picked up their Pokemon.
"Alright, lets head for the Gym." Kirby said. Ash nodded with determined eyes and walked with hiim to the gym with Iris and Cilan following behind.
Cilan was leading the way and led them to a building with a gym symbol on it. Kirby and Ash got excited and ran inside the building. They entered a hall filled with trees and plants by the side of the hall. Kirby and Ash awed.
"This looks amazing." Kirby said. Eva and Echo awed on his head while looking around the area.
"Awesome." Ash simply said.
"This is really cool." Iris added. Cilan continues to look around.
"Looks like the greenhouse of a botanical garden." Cilan added. Kirby smiled at the thought of the garden then walked up to a door. It opened up and the gang went through it.
"Here, make sure to eat a lot." A certain voice said from above. Everybody look above them and found Burgh feeding a leaf to a Sewaddle on a tree.
"Burgh." Ash called him out. The gym leader looked down and smiled at the guest.
"Hm? Oh, so you've come." He said then jumped off the tree branch. He landed gracefully with both feet and smiled.
"Welcome to Castelia Gym." Burgh said.
"Thanks Burgh, and I request a Gym Battle." Ash said.
{Bring it on!} Pikachu yelled.
"So, you guys already choose who was gonna go first?" Burgh asked.
"Yeah, and Ash is the first one to fight." Kirby said.
"I'm ready when you are Burgh." Ash said. Burgh smirked at his challenge and gestured them to follow him. He took them to a room with a lot of trees in the side lines and a metal floor in the center.
"So many tree in an area with many buildings. That's pretty impressive." Cilan said.
"You see, I move some of the trees from Pinwheel Forest here. For the sake of the Bug Pokemon, you see." He explained.
"Really?" Kirby question.
"Wow." Ash just awed.
"For a Bug Pokemon fan, greenery is indispensable. An environment like this increases my inspiration."
"Inspiration for what?" Kirby asked.
"For art Kirby." He answered. Kirby thought about it for awhile and nodded.
"I expected nothing less from a artist." Cilan said. Burgh smiled at the comment then stared at Ash.
"So Ash, are you ready for your battle." Burgh asked. Ash pumped his fist and wore a confident smile.
"Of course I am, and I'm ready to get my gym badge." Ash said.
"I can't wait to see you battle." Burgh said. He raised his hand and snap his finger. Then the metal floor started to shift apart to reveal a battlefield underneath.
"What?" Everybody said while Burgh looked at the field.
"That's so cool!" Ash yelled. Ash ran to the right side of the field while Burgh the left side of the field.
"A Gym Match from of the Castelia Gym will now begin. Three Pokemon will be used. As soon as all Pokemon of one party are unable to battle, the match is over." A ref said.
"Well then, as the Gym Leader. I'll what I have in hand." Burgh said. Then his eyes diverted towards Kirby. "Better pay attention Kirby, because I'm gonna use the same Pokemon against you." Burgh said. Kirby nodded and sat down.
"Well, my first one is... Come on out, Dwebble!" Burgh yelled. Kirby took out his Pokedex and scanned the Pokemon.
Dwebble, The Rock Inn PokemonIt makes a hole in a suitable rock. If that rock breaks, the Pokemon remains agitated until it locates a replacement.
"The rock its carrying looks different from the one your Dwebble has, Cilan." Iris said.
"Yea, your right." Cilan said. Kirby thought about the rock and remembered that it was darker than the other Dwebble.
'I wonder what will Ash send out against a Bug/Rock type Pokemon.' Kirby thought. Ash quickly took out a Pokeball and threw it into the field.
"Tepig, I choose you!" Ash yelled. Tepig came out and blew spores of fire out of his nose.
"This is a solid strategy. Especially for Ash." Iris said.
"Don't get too ahead of yourself Iris." Kirby called out. "Even if he does have Tepig, Dwebble has a Rock advantage." He said. Both Iris and Cilan looked at each other and just decided to watch the battle.
"Begin!" The Ref yelled.
"Tepig, Tackle attack!" Ash commanded. Tepig started to run up to Dwebble with a glare.
"Dodge it Dwebble." Burgh yelled. Dwebble jumped to the left and avoided Tepig.
"Use Tackle again!"Ash yelled. Tepig stopped in one place then turned around completely to lunge himself towards the Dwebble.
"Use Dig!" He yelled. Dwebble dug his claw in the dirt and burrow beneath it, making Tepig miss his attack and skid to a halt. Tepig looked behind him wondering where the Pokemon went while Dwebble popped out behind him and tackle him from behind. Tepig landed hard on the ground and Ash grit his teeth.
"X-Scissor!" Burgh yelled. Dwebble's claws turned bright purple and cross each other to make a X.
"Dodge it!" Ash yelled, but Tepig got hit from the attack. "It's fast." Ash commented.
"This Dwebble is a lot faster than I thought." Kirby said.
"The reason my Dwebble is fast is because the rock that is carrying is special you see. It's lighter than usual rocks. That's why its movements are fast and beautiful." Burgh explained. Ash just grit his teeth and thrust his hand forward.
"Tepig use Ember!" Ash ordered. Tepig ran in a circle then took a long deep snort then fired a spiral of fire.
"Protect." Burgh yelled and Dwebble was surrounded in a green aura that blocked the fire from hitting him.
"X-Scissor!" He yelled next and hit Tepig with a purple cross. Tepig landed on his feet this time and glared at Dwebble.
"Tackle!" Ash yelled. Tepig turned around and lunged himself at Dwebble actually tackling him. It push Dwebble back and Tepig landed in front of Ash.. "Nice work Tepig, now let's finish him with a Flame Charge!" Tepig surrounded himself in a fire aura then charged towards the Pokemon.
"Protect Dwebble!" Burgh yelled. Dwebble got up quickly and created another green aura to protect himself.. Tepig completely surrounded himself in fire and crashed onto Dwebble's shield. It created sparks as Tepig tried to break his shield but was pushed back instead and landed hard on the floor.
"Rock Wrecker!" Burgh commanded. Dwebble brought his claws close and formed a rock with red aura on it. It started to grow as he spread his claw and completely turned into a giant rock. I lifted it up then threw it towards Tepig. Tepig got up and saw the attack coming as he screamed after the rock exploded on him.
"Tepig!" Ash yelled in concern. The black clouds cleared around him and reveal a fainted pig on the floor with a smile.
"Tepig is unable to battle. Dwebble wins!" The Ref said. Ash grunted in frustration and took out a Pokeball.
"Tepig, return and take a long rest." Ash said and return him inside his Pokeball again.
"A Rock Wrecker from a short distance. That's effective." Cilan said.
"So it was beaten by being lured in?" Iris asked.
"He did." Kirby spoke. Iris and Cilan looked at him for the answered. "He waited until Tepig got close enough to finish him off with a strong Rock-Type move." he explained. Iris and Cilan turned their attention back towards the battle.
"Burgh is amazing." Cilan said.
"Alright Ash, what's your next Pokemon?" Burgh asked.
"Ash's Pokemon options to defeat Dwebble are Oshawott, Pikachu's Iron Tail, or..." Cilan predicted.
"I got it! Bug against Bug! Sewaddle, I choose you!" Ash yelled and threw his Pokeball. Sewaddle came out and gave out his mighty cry.
"What!" Both Iris and Cilan yelled out.
"Ooh." Kirby simply said.
"Isn't that too crude?" Iris asked.
"Well it does fit Ash's image." Cilan said.
"Isn't that the Sewaddle we met in Pinwheel Forest?" Burgh asked.
"Yes it is." Ash responded. Burgh looked at it for awhile a smiled..
"My Leavanny made those leaf cloths." Burgh said. Kirby tilted his head at that.
"Leaf Cloths?" Kirby asked. Cilan turned around and gave the explanation that they met Sewaddle in Pinwheel forest. It had it's previous leaf cloths torn apart and Burgh had his Pokemon make it cloths for him.
"Begin!" The ref yelled! Kirby and Cilan turned their attention back to the battle.
"Sewaddle, Razor Leaf!" Ash yelled. Sewaddle jumped in the air and it leaf cloth flew bright green as it release a large amount of leafs towards Dwebble.
"Use Protect Dwebble!" Burgh yelled. Dwebble surrounded himself in green aura again and deflected all the leafs. Ash gritted his teeth and grunted.
"X-Scissor!" He yelled next and Dwebble made a cross X and ran towards Sewaddle.
"Dodge it with String Shot!" Ash yelled. Sewaddle looked up and shot a String Shot onto the Ceiling and lifted himself up while dodging Dwebble X-Scissor.
"Nice Job Sewaddle!" Ash yelled.
"Sewaddle is really good." Iris said.
"And a unique way to dodge a attack." Kirby said, thinking about the time Helios used string shot to dodge Pikachu's Quick Attack.
"That's quite a beautiful way to dodge a move. I expected nothing less from a Bug Pokemon. I love it." Burgh said while Sewaddle let go of it and fell back down to the ground.
"Bug Bite!" Ash ordered. Sewaddle tiny fangs turned bright white and jumped towards Dwebble.
"Protect!" Burgh yelled. Dwebble created it's green aura shield again and Sewaddle ran into it, bumping itself back. "Now follow it up with Rock Wrecker!" Burgh order. Dwebble formed a rock again and it enhanced in size.
"Another in such a short distance again?" Kirby asked. Dwebble threw the rock and was heading towards Sewaddle.
"Dodge it with String Shot!" Ash yelled. Sewaddle turned his head to the right and shot a long String Shot towards the wall and stick to it. He pulled himself into the wall and avoided the Rock.
"Now use Razor Leaf!" He yelled next. Sewaddle let go of the string and shot multiple leafs again towards Dwebble again.
"Protect!" Burgh yelled. Dwebble protected himself in a green aura shield again, deflecting the leafs away from him. Ash grit his teeth again and tried to think of a way to attack him.
"Protect is a bothersome move." Cilan said.
"Yeah." Iris added
"Ash has to figure out a way to attack Dwebble if he keeps using protect." Kirby said.
"How can I..." Ash tried to think.
"Use Rock Wrecker Dwebble!" Burgh yelled. Dwebble completed the rock then threw it over to Sewaddle.
"Entwined it with String Shot!" Ash yelled. Sewaddle shot the sticky string at the rock.
"X-Scissor!" He yelled. Dwebbled prepared his next attack.
"Tackle!" Ash yelled. Sewaddle launched himself towards him and slammed it down to the ground. When he landed, it's shell was separated from it's self.
"This is his chance!" Cilan yelled.
"Razor Leaf!" Ash yelled. Sewaddle sent another wave of leafs towards Dwebble and hit his mark hard.
"Return to your rock quick Dwebble!" Burgh yelled. It started to run towards it's shell but was blocked by Sewaddle.
"We won't let you do that! Use Tackle, then finish up with Razor Leaf!" Ash yelled. Sewaddle tackle Dwebble away from it's shell then threw one last wave of leafs and struck Dwebble with a strong force. Dwebble was revealed fainted from the series of attacks.
"Dwebble is unable to battle! Sewaddle wins!" The Ref yelled.
"All right!" Ash cheered.
"Ah, you got me." Burgh said. He got out a Pokeball and pointed it at Dwebble. "Return Dwebble." He said and return the fainted Dwebble.
"That's one loss and one win." Cilan said.
"Ash, that Sewaddle of your is really something." Burgh said.
"Thank you so much." Ash said.
"In that case... Go Whirlipede!" Burgh yelled. He release a Pokémon encased in a hard, segmented shell. It has two pairs of gray, horn-like feelers with dark gray stripes, with one pair extended upward from its front and the other pointing downward from its lower rear. Two poisonous barbs flank either side of each segment of its shell. The shell itself is gray, with red rings in the middle of each segment and a darker gray border circling its open center. Whirlipede's eyes can be seen within the center, and have slit pupils, yellow sclera, and thick, gray eyelids.
"Whrilipede?" Both Kirby and Ash reacted then took out their Pokedex.
Whirlipede, the Curlipede Pokemon and the evolved form of Venipede. Whirlipede can spin its hard shelled body like a tire to smash into opponents.
"Whirlipede, is your pure heart burning with passion?" Burgh asked. In response, Whirlipede jumped up and started to spin really like a wheel really fast.
"Another troublesome Pokemon." Iris commented.
"Yea, Whirlipede is a Bug/Poison type Pokemon." Cilan responded.
"But what Pokemon could defeat Whirlipede easily?" Iris asked.
"A Flying Type or Fire Type. Rock and Psychic is also good." Kirby said.
"But Ash doesn't have any Rock or Psychic, and he sent Tranquill to Professor Juniper's lab." Iris said.
"And Tepig is already unable to battle." Cilan added.
"Then this is gonna be a challenging battle for Ash." Kirby said. Echo and Eva nodded and continue to watch the battle.
"Sewaddle, I'm counting on you to continue! Let's keep it up!" Ash yelled. Sewaddle gave him a confirm cry and a nod.
"Begin!" The Ref yelled.
"Whirlipede, use Poison Sting." Burgh yelled. Whirlipede started to spin fast and shot out multiple purple needle towards Sewaddle.
"Dodge it with String Shot!" Ash yelled. Sewaddle looked up and shot a long sticky string that attach itself to the ceiling and pull himself up, avoiding the tiny purple needles. "Now use String Shot on Whirlipede!" Ash yelled next. Sewaddle shot a string of web at his opponent and entangled him.
"Cut the string by spinning Whirlipede!" Burgh shouted. Whirlipede jumped up and spun his body to cut the string.
"Sewaddle strings won't work?" Ash told himself.
"Steamroller!" Burgh ordered. Whirlipede started to spin really fast and had a feint white energy around himself. Then he zoomed towards Sewaddle and tackled him in the air.
"Sewaddle!" Ash yelled in concern.
{That looked like it hurt.} Eva said.
{I hope Sewaddle is okay.} Echo added.
"Let's continue watching." Kirby said. They both nodded and stared at the battle. Sewaddle landed back on the ground and got up quickly.
"Steamroller again!" Burgh yelled and Whirlipede spun towards Sewaddle.
"Razor Leaf!" Ash yelled. Sewaddle shot a wave of leafs towards Whirlipede but was deflected from the Steamroller. Whirlipede went through the attack and tackled Sewaddle again, sending him fly and crash on the floor again.
"Sewaddle, are you okay?" Ash asked. Sewaddle nodded, but was struggling to get back up.
"It's a powerful and beautiful attack. It looks like Whirlipede's pure heart is burning even more." Burgh said. Sewaddle finally got up and glared at Whirlipede.
"Sewaddle, Bug Bite!" Ash yelled. Sewaddle jumped in the air head towards Whirlipede with white fangs.
"Iron Defense!" He yelled. Whirlipede started to glow a bit then turned his whole body into steel. Sewaddle ran into it and bounce off of it fell to the ground.
"It knows Iron Defense?" Cilan asked.
"This battle is gonna get more difficult if time passes." Kirby said.
"Steamroller!" Burgh ordered. Whirlipede started to spin again and zoom towards Sewaddle and tackled him again. Sewaddle fell on the ground and struggled to get up again.
"Finish it off. Solarbeam!" Burgh yelled. Whirlipede horns in the front started to glow bright green and gather energy between them. It started to grow until it stopped and Whirlipede shot it towards Sewaddle and struck him with full energy. Sewaddle yelled in pain while everybody gasp at the amount of energy Whirlipede has.
"Sewaddle, hang in there!" Ash yelled. Sewaddle gave him three cries before the Solarbeam stop and Sewaddle glowed bright blue.
"Sewaddle is..." Ash cried out in amazement
"Evolving." Kirby said. Seawaddle appearance hanged into a ball with a ribbon on top of it. The transformation finished and let out a quiet cry.
"What is that?" Kirby asked.
"It's a Swadloon!" Cilan yelled.
"Swadloon?" Kirby and Ash reacted at the same time and scanned the Pokemon.
Swadloon, the Leaf-Wrapped Pokemon and the evolved form of Sewaddle. Swadloon's body is covered in leaves which protect it from the cold. In forests where Swadloon live, the trees and grass grow very well.
"That's amazing!" Ash yelled.
"I never thought it would evolve. Swadloon is a Pokemon I love. Finding one in the forest makes me happy. After all, that's the best place for trees to grow, but this is a gym battle, so don't expect me to go easy on you!" Burgh yelled. Ash smirked at the comment nodded.
"Swadloon, use String Shot!" Ash yelled. Swadloon shot three line of sticky webs onto Whirlipede and entangled him.
"Spin to break the string!" Burgh ordered. Whirlipede spun really fast and cut the string.
"Even Swadloon's strings won't work!" Ash said.
"Let's wrap this up. Steamroller!" Burgh yelled. Whirlipede spun really fast and rolled towards him.
"Use string shot to dodge it!" Ash yelled. Swadloon shot the three string onto the ceiling and pulled himself again.
"Jump to cut the strings!" Burgh yelled. Whirlipede jumped up and cut the string to make Swadloon fall back on the ground. Whirlipede rolled in place at first then rolled the faint energy shined brighter then roll towards Swadloon.
"Show your new power Swadloon! Energy Ball!" Ash yelled. Swadloon started to form a giant green ball in front of it then shot it toward Whirlipede knocking it to it's side.
"Whirlipede!" Burgh screamed.
"Let's take it down Swadloon! Use Tackle!" Ash yelled. Swadloon jumped up and tackled Whirlipede's side and took him down. Swadloon jumped off of him and revealed Whirlipede with swirl eyes.
"Whirlipede is unable to battle. Swadloon wins!" The Ref yelled. Burgh sigh in defeat and took out a Pokeball.
"Nice job Swadloon! Now Burgh has one Pokemon left!" Ash cheered.
{Let's go this!} Swadloon cheered.
"Burgh has one Pokemon left." Kirby said.
{Wonder who it's gonna be?} Echo asked. Burgh was holding a Pokemon before he raise it high.
"Come out, guardian of Castelia Gym, Leavanny!" Burgh yelled and tossed the Pokeball.
"Leavanny." The Pokemon said calmly.
"Leavanny..." Ash said it's name.
"As expected, the last one is Leavanny." Cilan said. Kirby stared at the Pokemon before taking out his Pokedex.
Leavanny, the Nurturing Pokemon and Sewaddle's final evolutionary form. Using sticky threads that come from its mouth, it makes clothes for Sewaddle by sewing leaves together.
Kirby put up his Pokedex and stared at the Pokemon.
"Begin!" The Ref yelled.
"Swadloon, Energy Ball!" Ash yelled. Swadloon create a green energy sphere then fired it towards Leavanny.
"Protect!" Burgh quickly said. Leavanny created a green shield and the Energy Ball exploded upon impact.
"Another Pokemon with a defense move." Kirby said.
"String Shot!" Burgh yelled. Leavanny shot a wide string towards Swadloon and completely tangled him in it. He struggled to break free and started to yelled under it.
"In that case, use Razor Leaf in yourself!" Ash ordered.
{On it's self?} Echo question. Swadloon head shined bright green and release a series of leafs in the air that turned around and stuck the web multiple times before breaking.
"Well done Swadloon, but hang in there since this battle just begun!" Ash yelled. Swadloon turned his head to face Ash and nodded.
"It takes a gutsy heart for using a move at the risk of inflicting damage upon itself. However... Leaf Storm!" Burgh yelled. Leavanny raised it's knife like claws and started to surround itself with a large amount of leafs before they gather above it's head. She put her claws beside the leafs then threw them towards Swadloon. It struck him hard and exploded on impact. Ash gasp at the attack but Burgh wasn't finish. "I'll finish this off. Hyper Beam!" He yelled next. Leavanny started to charge a white energy ball between her antennas the blasted the Hyper Beam towards Swadloon. Swadloon's eyes were wide and was struck by the full on Hyper Beam. The smoke cleared and revealed Swadloon fainted on the floor.
"Swadloon is unable to battle, Leavanny wins!" The Ref said. Ash grunted and took out a Pokeball.
"You fought well Swadloon. Return and take a nice long rest." Ash said. He shot a beam at Swadloon and return the fainted Pokemon.
"Now Ash, sent out you third Pokemon." Burgh said.
"Ash is down to his last Pokemon." Iris said. Cilan nodded while looking at Leavanny.
"Yea... I wonder which Pokemon he'll choose." Cilan said. Suddenly, one of Ash's Pokemon came out and appeared in front of him.
{I'll do it!} Oshawott said.
"You'll do it Oshawott?" Ash asked.
{You bet!} He said and tap his chest confidently. His scalchop fell on the floor and Oshawott looked at it. {Oops.} He said and grabbed it and placed it back on his chest. {There we go.} He said. Then Pikachu walked next to Oshawott.
{I'll do it Ash.} Pikachu said. Ash smirk and formed a fist.
"Okay then, Pikachu, I choose you!" Ash said. Pikachu cheered at it while Oshawott turned white and fell to his side, feeling rejected.
"Maybe another time Oshawott." Ash said and return him back inside him Pokeball.
"So you've picked Pikachu." Burgh said.
"Yes I did. Pikachu, I'm counting on you!" Ash said.
{I'll do my best!} Pikachu cheered.
"It's true that Pikachu is a rare Pokemon in the Unova Region. But this is a Gym. You won't know what kind of Pokemon that Trainer will visit with. I've come to know the weaknesses of many different Pokemon." Burgh said.
"Well my Pikachu is different from any other Pikachu! So let's do this Pikachu!" Ash yelled.
{Okay!} Pikachu got into battle position.
"Pikachu has been with Ash from the very beginning, so they trust each other no matter what." Kirby said.
"Yea, Pikachu is his number one after all!" Iris agreed.
"Pikachu is Ash's number one partner in the end." Cilan added.
"Begin!" The Ref yelled.
"Pikachu, Thunderbolt!" Ash yelled. Pikachu's cheeks started to spark with electricity then surrounded himself in a electricity before releasing it towards Leavanny.
"Dodge!" Burgh ordered. Leavanny got on all four's and ducked the attack.
"Iron Tail!" he yelled. Pikacu's tail turned completely Iron and swung it towards Leavanny.
"Protect!" Burgh commanded. Leavanny created his green shield again and blocked the attack, making Pikachu jump away from it. "Leaf Storm!" was next. Leavanny raised it's claws and created another storm of leafs. He grabbed them by the side then threw them at Pikachu.
"Thunderbolt!" Ash yelled. Pikachu landed back on the ground and sparked his cheeks again. He released it fast like a arrow, and collided with Leaf Storm, causing it to explode.
"Oh? Use String Shot!" Burgh said. Leavanny shot it's sticky web onto Pikachu's body and warped around it. "Leaf Storm!" Burgh told it next.
"Quickly Pikachu, dodge it with Quick Attack!" Ash yelled. Pikachu nodded and got on all fours and started to walk but couldn't run straight. Pikachu eyes widen when he saw Leaf Storm getting close then collided on top of him. Pikachu was blown back and tried to get up.
"Pokemon with big tails maintain their balance with them, you know. Once the mobility of their tail is blocked, they can't exert their power any longer." Burgh explained.
"Pikachu, cut those strings!" Ash yelled. Pikachu grabbed a piece of it and bit it. It failed and he started to pull the string.
"You can't cut Leavanny's strings like that. Leaf Storm!" He yelled. Leavanny shot another storm of leafs towards, but Pikachu manage to jump away from it but land hard on the floor.
"Thunderbolt!" Ash yelled. Pikachu charged up then shot the lighting but missed it. Pikachu grit his teeth and glared at the Pokemon.
[I can't move or attack, he's got me in a rough spot.] Pikachu thought.
"Since its body is imbalanced, it can't aim well either." Cilan said. Echo watched as his poor Pika-friend was suffering with the string around his body.
"Hyper Beam!" Burgh yelled. Leavanny charged the white energy sphere between it's antennas then fired he energy towards Pikachu. Pikachu covered his head and Hyper Beam blew him in the air and landed hard on the ground again. Pikachu still wanted to continue but had a hard time getting back up.
"How about you give up so your Pikachu doesn't get too hurt." Burgh suggested.
"Pikachu, are you all right?" Ash asked.
{I'm okay Ash, and I will not give up!} Pikachu yelled at him. Ash nodded and looked at Burgh.
"Neither Pikachu nor I will ever give up!" Ash said. Burgh wasn't happy with the response and just glared at them.
"Leaf Storm." He said and Leavanny started to charge another storm.
"Charge while spinning Pikachu!" Ash ordered.
{Understood!} Pikachu cried out and did a dodge roll into the storm.
Kirby's eyes widen with Eva and Echo. Cilan and Iris gasp while Axew closed his eyes and looked away.
"What?" Burgh question his action. Pikachu landed back on the ground with ripped webs and started to tear the string apart. When he did, he cheered and started to move his tail again.
"Great job Pikachu!" Ash yelled.
"Your risky tactic really surprise me. Leavanny, String Shot!" Burgh said. Leavanny shot it's strings at Pikachu.
"Use Quick Attack to dodge it!" Ash ordered. Pikachu gather white energy around him then started to run towards Leavanny while dodging String Shot.
"Use String Shot again!" Burgh said.
"Counter it with Thunderbolt." Ash retaliated. Pikachu shot it's Thunderbolt and destroyed the String Shot.
"Now use Iron Tail!" He ordered. Pikachu turned completely iron and slammed his tail onto Leavanny. "Now use Electro Ball!" He yelled. Pikachu gather electricity onto his tail and formed it into a sphere then spun around once before throwing it towards Leavanny. It got close to Leavanny than exploded upon impact. Leavanny fell to the ground on it's back and laid there.
"Leavanny is unable to battle, Pikachu wins! Therefore the winner is Ash from Pallet Town!" The Ref yelled.
"Yea!" Ash cheered.
{We did it!} Pikachu cheered.
"Ash won."Kirby said.
"The way Ash wins is very surprising, and the spices were quite effective in his battle." Cilan commented. Ash grabbed two Pokeball from his belt. Swadloon, Tepig, come on out. They walked next to Ash and waited for Burgh to give Ash's badge. Burgh gave the Ref his Pokeball and told him to heal his Pokemon while he went to get the Badge. He came aback with a tray.
"You were the first resistant challenger in quiet a long time. Congratulation. This is proof of your victory at the Castelia Gym: the Beetle Badge." Burgh said. Ash grabbed and badge and grinned.
"All right, I got the Beetle Badge!" Ash yelled and his Pokemon cheered with him. Ash got out his badge case and placed it inside a slot. "Look guys, I got the Beetle Badge." Ash said.
"It looked like a close battle." Iris said.
"Ash, you produce a new flavor every time you battle." Cilan said.
"Congratulation Ash." Kirby simply said.
"It was a excellent victory Ash. Do your best in your next gym matches as well." Burgh said.
"I will." Ash said. Burgh smile then looked at Kirby.
"Well it's your turn Kirby, but we have to wait until my Pokemon are cured." Burgh said. Kirby nodded at the thought but felt someone tap his head. Kirby looked up and saw Ash with a smirk.
"Don't worry Kirby, we'll wait here with you." Ash said. Kirby looked at Ash for a while then smiled. Ash opened his Badge case again and got out the badge. Kirby looked closely at the badge and his eyes widen. It reminded him of the badge Meta Knight showed him. Kirby looked over to Burgh who was feeding a Sewaddle another leaf.
"Burgh, can I ask you a question?" Kirby asked. Burgh looked down at Kirby.
"What is it Kirby?" He asked. Eva and Echo looked at him with curiosity and concern.
"Did you fight a trainer with a Sawk and had a metal mask on?" Kirby asked. Ash and the gang shared confuse glances while Burgh had a finger on his chin. He snapped his finger and made a, 'Ah,' sound."
"I remember him. He won against me and won his Gym Badge." He said. Kirby bit his lip and looked at him.
"How did he win?" He asked. Burgh thought about it smiled.
"He beat me by retaliating and countering most of the attack I used. He even got through my Protect defenses since his Sawk knows how to use Feint." Burgh said. Kirby started to sweat but thought of a question.
"How many Pokemon did he used?" He asked.
"He only used two. A Sawk and a Meinfoo. He was about to take out both Dwebble and Whirlipede with Sawk and" Burgh answer. Kirby looked to his let and saw the curious faces from Ash and friend. "Do you know him Kirby?" he asked next. Kirby looked at him for while and sighed.
"Yea, he was looking for me." Kirby said. Burgh looked at him with curiosity along with the others.
"What do you mean?" He asked.
"His original goal was to find me, but ever since he met Sawk, he decided to accomplish a new dream with his team now." Kirby said.
"Really?" Ash asked.
"Was he trying to hurt you?" Cilan asked.
"No, he was searching for me since he's my mentor and making sure that I was training, but since the galaxy is safe now. I have nothing to do but complete a dream with my Pokemon." Kirby said.
"Well I think that's wonderful Kirby." Burgh said. Kirby looked up confuse by what he meant. "I may not know what you were going in the past, but It nice to see you think that your Pokemon are important to you now that you came into are world." He said. Kirby looked at him for awhile before turning away then smiling.
"Thanks Burgh." He said. Burgh simply smiled then got off the tree and walked to a door. It opened and the Ref came back with all three Pokeball in his hand and gave them to Burgh.
"Okay Kirby, are you ready for you Gym Battle?" Burgh asked. Kirby nodded and walked to the field.
"Good Luck Kirby." Ash said. Kirby grinned and got on his side. Echo and Eva stood next to him and watch Burgh getting ready.
"A Gym Match from of the Castelia Gym will now begin. Three Pokemon will be used. As soon as all Pokemon of one party are unable to battle, the match is over." A ref said.
"All right, let's start with you Whirlipede!" Burgh yelled while tossing his Pokeball. Whirlipede came out and spun really fast.
"Leon. Get ready to Battle!" Kirby yelled. He threw his Pokeball and came out his Patrat.
"Begin!" The Ref yelled.
"Whirlipede, use Poison Sting." Burgh commanded. Whirlipede started to spin and released multiple purple needles Patrat's way.
"Block it with Sand Attack Leon!" Kirby yelled. Leon put his hands on the ground and threw multiple streams of sand towards the needles and block all of them.
"That's impressive, using a status effect move to block Poison Sting." Cilan said.
"I know, it's like he planned a way to counter each move now." Iris added. Ash simply watched with awed while Kirby continued to battle.
"Steamroller!" Burgh ordered. Whirlipede started to spin really fast and started to roll towards Leon.
"Detect, then follow it up with Tackle." Kirby said. Leon eyes turned blue and he stepped to the side to avoid Steamroller then tackled it on it's side. Whirlipede was rolling unevenly and stopped before falling to it's side.
"Get behind him and use Crunch, Leon!" Kirby yelled. Leon ran around Whirlipede and it's teeth started to glow white teeth.
"Iron Defense!" Burgh yelled. Whirlipede turned to steel and Leon crashed it's teeth onto him. He squeak in pained and grabbed it's teeth with his paws. "Steamroller!" He yelled. Whirlipede started to spin again and rolled over to Leon.
"Leon, use Leer!" Kirby yelled. Leon eyes turned purple and gave a menacing glare at Whirlipede. Whirlipede stopped spinning and started to shake a bit. "Now use Crunch again!" He yelled. Leon teeth glowed violently and jumped onto Whirlipede. He took a second to make sure it wouldn't use Iron Defense and stab his's teeth onto him. Whirlipede screech in pain and started to spin really fast, knocking Leon away.
"Steamroller!" Burgh yelled. Whirlipede rolled really fast this time and hit Leon as hard as possible, tossing him back in front of Kirby.
"Leon are you okay?" Kirby asked. Leon got up really fast and nodded. Kirby sighed in relief and looked at Burgh.
"Solarbeam!" Burgh commanded. Whirlipede horns turned green and started to gather energy inside them.
"Leon use Bind!" Kirby yelled. Leon closed his eyes and brought his hand close to his chest while a red aura surrounded him.
"Bind?" Ash asked.
"It lets the Pokemon shoot a strong attack after a certain amount of time." Cilan explained
"If your using bind, then we'll have to take you Pokemon out before it can even use it's attack." Burgh said.
"Bring it Burgh!" Kirby encourage.
"Fire!" Burgh yelled. Whirlipede had a complete Solarbeam charged and fired it towards Leon. The full beam hit Leon directly, who absorbed the attack and continue to hold his place. "Poison Sting!" Burgh yelled. Whirlipede spun fast and fired multiple purple needles towards Leon, who stilled took the attack. "Steamroller!" Whirlipede rolled over to Leon and was halfway near his point.
"Now Leon, Fire it!" Kirby yelled. Burgh eyes widen when he saw Leon scream and release a strong white energy towards Whirlipede. He was shot back to a wall and was stuck it it. The Ref ran it it's side and realized that it fainted.
"Whirlipede is unable to battle. Patrat (Leon) wins!" The Ref yelled. Burgh couldn't believe what he just witness, but took out a Pokeball and returned Whirlipede.
"Leon, are you okay to continue?" Kirby asked. Leon looked at him for awhile before giving a thumbs up.
{I'm... fine...Kirby.} He said. He was breathing heavily and had was acting a bit sluggish.
"Alright, but please don't push yourself Leon." Kirby said in concern.
{Fine.} He said. Leon nodded before looking at Burgh with determined eyes.
"Leon is strong Kirby and has a lot of will power, so I'm kinda glad your telling it too not push itself, but it won't last long against Dwebble!" Burgh yelled and tossed his Pokeball. Dwebble came out of it's Pokeball and let out a small cry.
"Begin!" The Ref yelled.
"Dwebble, use Dig!" Burgh yelled. Dwebble dug a hole and went inside it.
"Careful Leon!" Kirby yelled. Leon kept looking around before the ground below him cracked and broke entirely when Dwebble came out and landed a powerful blow on his jaw. "Leon!" Kirby yelled in concern as he watch Leon fly across the air and a loud slam was heard when he landed back on the ground. When the Ref got close to Leon, he had swirl in his eyes and was smiling.
"Patrat (Leon) is unable to battle. Dwebble wins!" The Ref yelled. Kirby ran up to Patrat before picking him up and running back to his place. He placed Leon next to Echo and told him to grab his bag and start healing him.
"Amazing Kirby, you show a lot of care into your Pokemon." Burgh said. Kirby looked at Burgh and gave him a smile.
"Each Pokemon I capture or not is a friend of mine, and I show care because I love them." Kirby said. Eva looked at him for awhile before looking away and trying to help Leon. "But the battle isn't over yet." He said, he took out a Pokeball from his hat and enlarged it. "Helios, get ready to battle!" Kirby yelled. he tossed it and it open to release the Pokemon from inside.
Flashback.
"Hey Helios, what moves do you know when I think about it?" Kirby asked. He took out his Pokedex and scanned him.
Larvesta, the Torch Pokemon. A Larvesta shoots fire from its five horns to repel its enemies. They live at the base of volcanoes. Gender is Male. Ability is Flame Body: The opponent has a 30% chance of being induced with Burn when using an attack, that requires physical contact, against this Pokemon. Move Set: Ember, String Shot, Take Down, Flame Charge, Bug Bite Double-Edge and Flame Wheel. Egg Moves: Zen Headbutt and Signal Beam. Not Unlocked Yet.
"That's a strong move set Helios." Kirby said.
{Always Trained.} Helios said.
"You did great , now let me return you back inside your Pokeball." Kirby said. Helios nodded and went back inside his Pokeball. Kirby placed it inside his hat and was about to walk when he found three disc lying on the floor.
"What are these?" Kirby asked himself. He picked each disc up an found two interesting things. They had a number and a attack move implanted in them.
TM35 Flamethrower
TM62 Acrobatics
TM93 Wild Charge
"Interesting." Kirby said. He heard Eva and Echo talking to each other and Decided to talk to them about the things he got.
'After finding out that TM help teach my Pokemon, I hope Helios can actually beat Dwebble." Kirby thought. Helios appeared on the battle field from it's Pokeball.
"A Larvesta!" Burgh yelled in excitement. "Those are rare around these parts. Where did you get him?" Burgh said.
"Helios traveled by itself into Pinwheel Forest trying to train. When I entered the forest, he started to follow me and my Pokemon for food and the reason why he became my Pokemon is because of Echo. He wanted Helios to have someone to train with then to be by himself." Kirby explained. Echo scratch his head in embarrassment while Helios simply chuckled.
"Alright, how about we begin this battle." Burgh suggested. Kirby smirked first then nodded.
"Then Begin!" The Ref yelled.
"X-Scissor!" Burgh yelled. Dwebble cross his purple energy claws to created a X-energy attack.
"Helios, shield yourself with Ember!" Kirby ordered. Everybody was confused at the command until Helios shot fire from his five red horns and started to surround himself with small flames. Dwebble collided with the Ember shield but has destroyed his X-Scissor. "Now expand it Helios!" Kirby yelled. Helios started to release more Ember and it's area started to expand that it pushed Dwebble away from him.
"That's really smart." Cilan said.
"Yea, using a offense move as a defense move." Iris said.
"I wonder how he thought of that?"Ash asked.
"We can ask him after the battle, or maybe Burgh will ask him." Cilan responded. Both trainers nodded before looking at the battle.
"Dwebble, use Dig!" Burgh instructed. Dwebble his claws in the ground and went inside the field.
"Ember in the hole Helios!" Helios jumped towards the hole and shot multiple streams of Ember into the hole. A couple of seconds passed and Dwebble came out of the hole screaming in pain. He landed back on the ground with a heavy slam. "Flame Charge, quickly!" Kirby yelled. Helios covered himself in fiery aura and lunged himself towards Dwebble.
"Protect!" Burgh yelled. Dwebble create his green shield fast and Helios ran into it, causing him to bounce off.
"Helios!" Kirby yelled in concern.
"Rock Wrecker!" Burgh yelled. Dwebble created his red aura Rock and enhanced it. He lifted it then threw it towards Helios, who got up very quickly.
"String Shot it!" Kirby yelled. Larvesta shot his String Shot and made the rock fall. "Now use Flame Charge!" He instructed. Helios surrounded himself in fire aura again and ran in a zig-zag formation.
"Protect again!" Burgh yelled. Dwebble created his green shield and blocked the charging attack. Kirby just growled in frustration while Helios hissed.
"Helios, I got a plan." Kirby said. Helios looked at Kirby in the eye of his corner then nodded.
"Dwebble, use Rock Wrecker!" He yelled. Dwebble formed his rock then threw it towards Larvesta again.
"Grab it with String Shot!" Kirby yelled.
"Grab it?" Iris question. Helios shot it's String Shot towards the rock and tied around it. Helios took a step to the side and let the rock passed it before he pulled on it and started to swing it around him.
"He grabbed it!" Cilan yelled.
"That amazing!" Iris yelled.
"It's not just amazing, it's incredible!" Ash yelled.
"Toss it back, Helios!" Kirby ordered. Helios swung it around one last time before letting go of the rock and hit Dwebble. Kirby gave a small cheer while Helios gave a silent nod. Dwebble got back up but was struggling a bit.
"Dwebble, use Dig!" Burgh commanded. Dwebble went back underground again making Kirby question his attack. Helios, use Ember in that hole again!" Kirby yelled. Helios jumped over to hole and was ready to fire the small spores of fire into the hole again.
"Rock Wrecker!" Burgh yelled. Kirby and Helios's eyes widen when they saw Dwebble come out of the hole and throw an enlarged rock at Helios. The rock exploded near him and blasted to the side. He landed back on the ground and glared at Dwebble.
"Now I understand. Burgh was able to use Kirby's strategy against him." Cilan said. Both Ash and Iris looked at him confuse.
"What do you mean Cilan?" Ash asked.
"Kirby has mostly counter most of Burgh attacks, so this means that Burgh had to figure out a way to attack Kirby while he was countering." He explained.
"So does this mean that Kirby is in trouble?" Iris asked.
"Guess we'll just have to find out." Cilan said.
"Helios, get in close!" Kirby yelled. Helios was breathing heavily, but started to crawl over to Dwebble, who also was breathing strongly.
"Dwebble, use X-Scissor!" Burgh instructed. Dwebble claws turned purple and crossed them to release a strong X-energy attack. Dwebble was getting close to Helios and Kirby smirked.
"Helios, time to test out your new move, use Flamethrower shield!" Kirby yelled. Helios stopped moving and started to release a powerful flame stream around him and blocked Dwebble's power. "Expand!" Kirby yelled. Helios nodded and he started to expand his's powerful shield that it started to swallow Dwebble inside and continue to grow.
"Dwebble!" Burgh yelled. The whole area was brightly lit the area. It showed a bright orange light and the fire spinning around in the middle of the field. Everybody except Kirby just watch with wide open eyes as the vortex stopped growing.
"Finish it!" Kirby yelled. Helios let out a long cry before the fire disperse and showed a fainted Dwebble and a tired Larvesta.
"Dwebble is unable to battle. Larvesta (Helios) wins!" The Ref yelled. Burgh couldn't believe the amount of power the Larvesta unleashed and return his Dwebble.
"That was incredible." Iris said.
"The amount of power that Larvesta has is strong." Ash said.
"But look." Cilan warned. He was looking at a exhausted Larvesta that was breathing heavily. "Helios put a lot of power into that Flamethrower and to control it too, it takes a lot of practice." Cilan said. He looked at Kirby who was looking at Helios with careful eyes.
"Kirby, your Larvesta showed a great amount of power and control with his flames, but with that kind of control, he will exhaust himself more faster." Burgh warned. Kirby sighed before nodding.
"I know that it takes more energy away from Helios, but it was his choice. As long as I know that he is pushing himself way too much, then I will stop him." Kirby said. He looked at Helios, who was breathing back to normal.
"Okay, but this is where it gets harder. Come out, guardian of Castelia Gym, Leavanny!" Burgh yelled and tossed the Pokeball. Leavanny came out with a smile and bowed.
"Leavanny." he said and stood back up.
"Helios, can you continue?" Kirby asked. Helios looked at him before nodding.
{Yea.} He said. Kirby simply sighed before looking at Leavanny.
"Begin!" The Ref yelled.
"Helios, start off with Ember!" Kirby ordered. Helios started to charge up before firing it towards Leavanny.
"Protect!" Burgh yelled. Leavanny smirked and created his shield protect him from the Ember. "Hyper Beam!" He yelled. Leavanny charged his critical beam and shot it towards the Larvesta.
"Flamethrower!" Kirby yelled. Larvesta started to fire a long stream of fire with it's five horns and collided with the Hyper Beam. It started to merge together and it ended up exploding. Everybody put their arms in front of them to block the smoke to enter them while it pushed both Larvesta and Leavanny back to a wall.
"Leavanny, are you okay?" Burgh asked. Leavanny stood up then jumped onto the field.
"Helios!" Kirby yelled. He ran up to Helios and saw that he had swirls in his eyes.
"Larvesta (Helios) is unable to battle. Leavanny wins!" The Ref yelled. Kirby carried Helios towards Echo and Leon who were ready to treat him. Kirby sighed before he looked over to Leavanny and sighed.
"Eva." Kirby spoke. Eva looked up with a curious glance. "Get ready to battle." He said with a grin.
{It's been a while since I battle Kirby.} She said with a smirk. She walked up to the field and got into battle position.
"Snivy?" Cilan asked.
"But Grass type moves won't affect Bug type that much." Iris said.
"Typing doesn't matter Iris, what matters is the Pokemon." Ash said.
"When I think about it, I seen Kirby with her but hasn't used her against me, so I don't know what kind of kit she has.
"Begin!" The Ref yelled.
"Leavanny, use String Shot!" Burgh yelled. Leavanny shot out three string shot towards Snivy who stood still.
"Leaf Blade." Kirby simply said. Eva leaf tail glowed bright green and slashed each String Shot. Burgh was confuse on how calm Kirby and his Snivy were acting, but decided to ignore it.
"Leaf Storm!" Burgh commanded. Leavanny raised his claws while multiple leafs gather around him and gather between it's claws. It launched them towards Snivy, who was standing still with her eyes close.
"Leaf Storm." Kirby said. Eva started to spin really fast collecting many leafs and creating more to create a large storm then threw them towards Leavanny.
"Protect!" Burgh yelled. Leavanny created his shield but it was destroyed when it was overwhelmed by the combined attack. Leavanny and Burgh only stared at the calm duo.
"Why is Kirby just waiting for the attack to come close?" Ash asked.
"And why is he putting so much trust in his Snivy?" Iris added.
"I don't know, but what I'm guessing is that they trust each other that much." Cilan answered. Burgh was gritting his teeth while he watch Kirby and Eva concentrating on his battle.
"Hyper beam!" He yelled. Leavanny started to charge the beam very slowly until Kirby smirked.
"Leaf Blade." He said. Snivy disappeared from her spot and appeared next to Leavanny. She hit him in the stomach and sent her flying a little away.
"Fire." Burgh yelled. Leavanny skid to a halt and fire Hyper Beam towards Snivy, who had her back turned.
"Jump." Kirby said. Snivy jumped really high avoiding the attack and landing in front of Leavanny. "Finish it with Leaf Tornado." Snivy started to spin her tail really fast and slammed it against Leavanny first before multiple leafs formed and started to strike her from the inside. "Slam him down!" Kirby yelled. Snivy brought her tail down and slammed Leavanny to the ground. When the leafs disperse, it revealed Leavanny on the ground with swirls on his eyes.
"Leavanny is unable to battle, Snivy (Eva) wins! Therefore the winner is Kirby from Dreamland!" The Ref yelled.
"We did it Eva." Kirby yelled.
"Kirby really is amazing." Cilan said.
"He showed no struggle against Leavanny." Iris said.
"Just how strong is Kirby?" Ash asked. Burgh scratch his head then grabbed his Pokeball.
"Return Leavanny." He said. Leavanny returned back inside his Pokeball and Burgh put his Pokeball up. He looked at Kirby who was celebrating with his Pokemon. "Alright, I should get his badge." Burgh said and walked away.
Helios and Leon were cheering with Kirby by jumping together. Eva sighed with relief until she was tackled down by Echo and was nuzzling her cheek.
{You did it Eva, you really are amazing!} Echo said. Eva turned her face away while blushing lightly.
{Thanks Echo, but please stop.} She said.
{Okay.} He answered and let go of her.
"Come one guys, we gotta wait for our badge!" Kirby yelled. Echo and Eva smiled before running to him and waited for Burgh to give him his badge.
Meanwhile, in another place.
"And Giovanni?" A woman voiced asked in a storage room.
"He's in the middle of a important meeting and can't leave." A another female voice said in a electronic voice.
"But he was in a meeting yesterday too." A male voice said.
"He is very busy right now." The computer voice said.
"In that case, have you asked him the details of what kind of activities we're supposed to do?" The female voice asked.
"Yes. Two things. 'One is that your free to do what you want, but you have to keep an eye out for a pink puff ball."Do your best for the glory of Team Rocket." That's all" She said and the computer turned off.
"Ah! Wait a second, Matori!" A scratchy voice yelled.
"'Free do to what you want and watch out for a pink puff ball?'...what do you suppose he meant by that?" The woman asked.
"Who knows? If it's for the sake of Team Rocket..." The man added.
"What do we do?" The scratchy voice asked.
"It's like, "Do your best in Liberty! Fight!" or something." The man said.
"Has Giovanni abandoned us, by any chance?" The scratchy voice asked.
"That can't be! That can't be, no matter what! Giovanni has expectations of us." The woman yelled.
"Your right!" The male voice yelled.
"So, in order to live up to these expectation, we'll get that Pikachu and present it to Giovanni." the scratchy voice said.
"Your right" Both the male and female voice said.
"Challenging questions indeed!"
"The answer's to come as we feel the need!"
"Bringing the blinding white light of evil into the future!"
"Thrusting the hammer of justice down onto the black darkness of the universe!"
"Carving our names in the Rock of Eternity!"
"The fiery destroyer, Jessie!"
"And with thunderous emotion, I am James!"
"Wisest of the wise, Meowth!"
"And now gather, under the name of Team Rocket!"
"We'll definitely get that strong Pikachu and bring it to Giovanni!" Jessie yelled.
"And we'll keep an eye out for that pink ball!" Meowth yelled.
"We can do it!" James yelled out.
"We can do it! If we can do it, we'll do it!" They all yelled with their fist in the air.
Back at the Gym.
"Okay Kirby, here is your badge." Burgh said. He was walking up to Kirby and with a tray. It had his gym badge and Kirby was grinning. Kirby jumped up and grabbed his badge before landing back on the ground. Kirby was admiring his badge before he felt a tap. He turned around and found Echo grinning.
{Can I do it too?} He asked. Kirby couldn't believe his ears and just laughed. He nodded and Echo gave a small cheer. He gestured every Pokemon who participated in the battle to do it with him. Leon agreed and stood next to Kirby. Helios sweat dropped at the idea but stood next to Leon. Finally, Eva shook her head at what Echo thought but stood next to him.
"What are they doing." Iris asked.
"I don't know?" Cilan responded.
"Kirby?" Ash called him out.
"Ready?" Kirby called out to him Pokemon. They all nodded and Kirby smiled. "One, two!" He yelled.
(Kirby's Victory Dance song play here(Or watch video I guess))
Kirby tossed the badge in the air the started to dance with his Pokemon copying him. They did a spin jump first then cart wheeled to the right to hop back to place while cartwheeling in the air. Then they landed back on the ground to walk in place for a bit to moon walks to the left while waving their arms in the air. Then they did three spin to the side to roll on their back to spin three more times. Then they stood back up to end it with a pose. Helios standing up with his tail, Leon in his battle stance, Snivy was leaning on Echo wearing a smirk, Echo was leaning on Eva with his hands crossed and one ear down and smile, and Kirby holding out his hand and caught his badge.
(End of Victory Dance)
"We did it!" Kirby cheered. His Pokemon were cheering with him until they forgot that there were four trainers with them. They cleared their throats and Kirby took out two Pokeballs.
"Leon, Helios, you did a great job, so take a long rest" He said. He return both Pokemon then put the Pokeballs back inside the hat. He looked at Eva and Echo and just sighed. "Stupid habit." Kirby said. He heard someone someone clap. He turned around and found Cilan clapping with Ash and Iris doing the same. Burgh was also clapping with a smile and stepped up.
"Amazing Kirby, you were able to co-operate with your Pokemon to create such a beautiful performance." Burgh said. Kirby looked at Echo and Eva, who both smiled at each then at him.
"Thank you." Kirby said.
"Also, congratulation on winning your gym badge." Burgh said.
"Thank you." Kirby said. Kirby nodded before taking out his gym badge case and placed it in the third slot.
"Five more to go." Kirby whispered. Echo and Eva nodded at Kirby before he looked up at Ash. Kirby turned around and started to walk the door and walked out of the gym with a bright smile. Kirby was about to walked towards the center when he stopped and ran back inside the gym.
"Burgh!" Kirby yelled. Burgh turned around with Ash, Iris and Cilan turned to meet a smirking Kirby with a confuse Pikachu and Snivy on his head.
"What is Kirby?" Burgh asked.
"I would like to fight your strongest bug type!" He said. Burgh was confuse along with the rest of the of the crew while Echo and Eva just sighed.
Part one of special complete!
Part two come out with part one!
