Chapter 6
A Gym Battle Performance!
This is the journey so far...
Jake along with Korrina and there Pokémon including the newest addition of their traveling band Lorri and her older brother have arrived at Lapis city. This also marks the beggining of the many battles that Jake will have to face in the future. Will he win his first gym badge? Find out now!
Right now it shows Jake and the group standing infront of the Lapis city gym.
" At last. My first gym battle, but not just mine. My Pokémon included,l it's there first as well " Jake exclaimed taking it all in.
He the felt a hand on his shoulder and saw that it was Korrina.
" Just do your best Jake " the blonde said reminding him of what she said other night and nodded before they all entered.
" Ah, we've been expecting you " the swimmer said greeting the group and motioned them forward.
" Now, may the challenger please go forward. As for your friends please follow me to the V.I.P area. "
As Jake enters his side of the battlefield he notices it was all dark. Then all of the sudden the lights snapped on revealing the arena that was literally a massive pool with multiple platforms floating around giving pokemon who couldn't swim more space to move around.
But what Jake noticed the most was that there was an whole entire audience of people.
At the same time the group had arrived at the Vip area literally getting a whole clear view of the battle field itself.
" Wow, I never expected people to be watch this " Korrina exclaimed sitting down.
" That's Airka for ya. She loves to give all of her fans a great show " Carder spoke up. " Not only is she a gym leader but she's also a water performer that can battle challengers. "
" Cool... " Lorri said as she brought out a pokeball and released her partner Monferno.
" Mon? " " Were gonna be watching Jake's gym battle, so that way we can learn more about what we can do for our battles in the contests! Sound good? " Lorri explained with Monferno nodding.
Seeing this gave Korrina a great idea as she brought out a pokeball and released her new Rockruff that appeared on her lap.
" Ruff! " the puppy pokemon said greeting Korrina and Lucario.
" Hi Rockfuff... " the blonde replied and petted the little rock type much to it's enjoyment. " My best friend Jake is gonna battle right now, so later on when you feel like when your ready you'll see what it's like in a battle, okay? "
" Ruff! Ruff! " the puppy pokemon replied making Korrina and Lucario chuckle before it turned it's gaze to the battle field.
Back the arena a female swimmer had just got out of the water and got into her spot meaning she was the referee.
" Where's Airka? " Jake inquired.
" Patience. The gym leader is already here " the swimmer said before all of the sudden a spot light shines on the top revealing Airka wearing a blue swim suit. She then dived from her spot and then all of the sudden a Gyrados leaps out of the water and slithers into the air and flung it's tail making the blue haired woman spin. Then a Wailmer pops out and uses Water Spout making her levitate into the air before a Lapras surfaces from the water and sprays and ice beam making the pillar of water freeze.
Then once that was done the Gyrados fired a Dragon Rage destroying the ice and creating multiple particles of light that made Airka glitter like a star as she landed on the Lapras's head and poses.
Once that was done the crowd threw a big round of applause for the great display before she bows along with both Gyrados and Lapras while Wailmer bounces into the air and then splashes the crowd with it's Water Spout.
" Now that right there! That's how you make an entrance people! " Lorri cried out while whistling loudly with her fingers including Monferno making Carder sweat drop at his little sisters actions as well as her partner.
" Not bad...really cool... " Jake said as he stopped clapping. " That was nice wasn't it Larvitar? "
" Lar " the rock skin pokemon replied nodding it's head.
" Well Jake, I hope that you liked the performance " Airka spoke up getting his attention. " because this is where the fun and games will end and things get serious " the blue haired woman said as she stepped off of Lapras who then dived back underwater with both Gyrados and Wailmer.
" I did enjoy it. But I couldn't agree more and I'm gonna win my first badge " Jake exclaimed with confidence.
" Good, a positive attitude, you'll need it " Airka said as the female swimmer/referee did her thing.
" (Clearing throat) Now without further ado, and the gym leader present. The battle bewtween Airka the Lapis city Gym Leader and the challenger Jake Blackwood will now begin! Use side may use two Pokémon and the battle will be over once all pokemon on either side are unable to continue. Further more only the challenger may substitute Pokémon. That's all! "
" You can do it Jake! " Korrina cheered along with Lucario much to her surprise making the green haired teen give them a thumbs up before looking to Airka to make a request.
" Airka, if you don't mind, I'd like to do this as a three on three battle! " Jake requested causing Airka, the referee , the audience , Korrina, Carder and Lorri to be surprised.
" A three on three? Why the sudden change? " Airka asked in amusement.
" A two on two battle sounds amusing enough, but a bigger challenge would be much better! Plus I have only three pokemon and this is my first gym battle. So in the end they will share the experience with me and have their first gym battle " Jake explained.
" Lar! Larvitar! " Larvitar cried out in agreement surprising Airka before she chuckled.
" Alright, very well. I will accept your three on three challenge! Just don't expect it to be easy! " the blue haired woman replied while adjusting her glasses making the crowd cheer in response very excited to see what will happen next.
" Okay, in that case, this will be a three on three battle! The same rules still apply! " the ref declared with both trainers nodding in agreement.
" But why would Jake do that? " Lorri inquired while Monferno tilted its head in confusion. " I mean he does have only three pokemon sure, but it'll only be harder. "
" That's true, but I'm sure he has a something planned " Carder chimmed in. " He knows how strong she can be after watching the battle from yesterday. So from what I figure, it could be that he need's all of his pokemon to win this. "
Korrina smiled " He'll be fine. I believe in Jake. "
" Now without further ado! Let the battle begin! " the referee cried out making the crowd cheer as each trainer brought out their pokemon starting with Airka.
" Okay Clauncher! Surface! " she then threw her pokeball into the air releasing the pokemon inside that resembled that of a small crab with one of it's claws being bigger then the other.
" Clauncher huh? " Jake asked himself as he aimed his pokedx at the new water type.
" In that case. Lumifly! Engage! " the teen threw his pokeball into the air releasing the bug fairy type that cooed making it's presence known.
" Are you ready Jake?! " Airka called out.
" Yes I am! " the teen replied with the crowd going wild hardly containing the excitement for what was about to unfold.
Gym battle commence!
Jake vs Airka
3-on-3
" First, for the beginning, use Rain Dance! " hearing it's trainers command the water gun pokemon aimed it's claw like launcher into the air and fired an orb into the air that exploded soon creating a heavy draft of rain.
" Rain Dance huh? I better be careful " Jake said to himself with caution and then called out a move.
" Lumifly use Psybeam! "
" Heh, Clauncher Water Pulse! " Lumifly fired two rainbow colored beams from it's antenna's while Clauncher aimed it's larger claw and fired an orb made out of water that ripped through the beams and hit Lumifly making it stutter for a bit but continued to fly.
" Whoa! How come Cauncher''s attack ripped through Lumifly's Psybeam? " Lorri inquired with Carder explaining.
" That's because of Claunchers ability, Mega Launcher. It increases the power of pulse and aura moves. She's made a good stradegy with Rain Dance since it powers up water type moves. "
Korrina nodded at what he said ( She's not fooling around, I've heard of other water type gym leaders before. But this is a good example of what there capable of. Hang in their Jake. "
Airka now called another command.
" Now again Water Pulse! " the little water type once again fired an orb made out of water out of it's larger claw.
" Dodge it Lumifly! " Jake called out as the Glowmoth pokemon dodged the incoming attack but just barely.
" Now use Crab Hammer! " the water gun pokemon then darted forward and coated it's larger claw in water.
As it was coming Jake got an idea.
" Quick use Reflect and follow it up with Fairy Wind! " Lumifly then created a energy shield that deflected Claunchers attack and then followed it up by blowing it away with a wind glimmering like glitter and landed in the water with the crowd loving every single second of it.
" Water Pulse! Rapid fire! "
" Dodge them Lumifly! " the luna moth pokemon cooed as it out maneuvered the constant blasts of water orbs before it noticed one was still left.
" Now Psybeam! " Jake called out with Lumifly then firing it's two beams at the orb causing it to explode.
The blue haired woman then smirked as she readjusted her glasses again. " Okay, now Clauncher, use U Turn! "
" What did you say?! " Jake gasped at what he had heard before the water gun pokemon shot out of the water and hit Lumifly not before it returned to it's pokeball and another pokemon took it's place revealing it to be Azumarill who cried out its name.
" What the heck just happened?! How come Azumarill's out?! " Lorri asked really confused by what had just happened.
" That's U turn's effect " Carder began to explain. " It's a bug type move that first inflicts damage before it switches out with another pokemon. That's a tricky move to have. "
" Okay, let's do this! " Airka cried out excitedly. " Use Blizzard! "
" Azu! " the aqua rabbit pokemon then emitted a powerful force of cold air.
" Dive Lumifly! " Jake commanded with the glow moth going down and avoided the attack.
" Not so fast! Use Waterfall! " the water fairy type then charged at the glow moth pokemon coating itself in water.
" Now use use Psybeam! Close range! " the glow moth pokemon then gave off a loud cooing noise before it fired two pinkish rainbow colored beams at Azumarril making it crash back into the water.
" Use Blizzard! " the aqua rabbit then resurfaced and unleashed a powerful force of cold air that began to freeze the glow moth pokemon.
( Think of something! Think of something! ) Jake said to himself before getting an idea.
" Quick Lumifly use Flash! " once again the bug fairy type cooed as it then emitted a bright surge of light that surprisingly stopped the freezing.
" Alright! " Carder exclaimed confusing Lorri.
" What did he do? "
" He figured it out! Large sources of light can heat up objects when there close by and since Flash is a good example of that, Jake actually used it a counter measure instead of using it just as a way to surprise his opponents. "
Lorri blinked. " I have no idea what you just said, but alright! Way to go! "
" Monferno! " both pokemon and trainer said pumping their fists in the air making the older brother face palm himself while Korrina laughed nervously.
" That was a good move... " Airka commented as she cleaned her glasses and put them back on. " But now it's time for Aqua Ring! " giving off a cry Azumarril then surrounded itself in multiple rings made out of water with Jake narrowing his eyes.
( I'm not gonna let this one drag out. Because there's only so much Lumifly can do. So better go switch to some offense ) Jake said to himself as he brought out Lumifly's pokeball. " Return Lumifly. Now Hambo! Engage! " he then threw the pokeball into the air and unleashed the ape pokemon onto a platform.
" Hambo! Ham! Ham! " the ape pokemon cried out it's name and began to pound on it's chest.
" Interesting, a fighting dark type. Very nice. But it won't make a difference. Azumarill use Waterfall! "
" Azu! " the aqua rabbit pokemon cried out as it then charged at Hambo coating itself in water.
"Wait for it... " Jake whispered as Azumarril got closer and closer with Hambo getting ready.
" Now jump and use Brick Break! "
" Hambo! " the ape pokemon jumped into the air and delivered a tough blow right behind the aqua rabbit pokemons head making Azumarill recoil back in pain before the aqua ring appeared and restored some of it's HP while at the same time the rain had stopped.
" Alright, now Hambo go! "
" Ham! " the ape pokemon cried out as it then charged at Azumarril and jumped from platform to platform before it was just a few feet away from it.
" Knock it away with your tail! " Airka commanded as it then turned around and sprang it's tail forward.
" Gotcha! " Jake exclaimed making the blue haired woman gasp from the mistake she had made.
" Hambo, grab Azumarril's tail and use Brutal Swing! "
" Haaaaam! " the ape pokémon cried out as it then swung Azumarril around before throwing it into the air.
" Okay, We'll play tough too! Azumarril use Super Power! "
" Azumarril! " the aqua rabbit cried out as it dived straight towards Hambo.
" Use Threatening Roar! " Jake called out as Hambo then began to beat on its chest like the little gorilla it was and emitted a loud roar causing Azumarrils attack to falter as it covered its ears.
Airka growled. " Shoot, he figured out Azumarrils super hearing can be her weakness! "
" Now use Brick Break! "
" Stay strong Azumarril and use Waterfall! "
Both trainers then called out there commands and just like that they both made contact creating a powerful explosion of water showing off their power.
Once it all settled down Azumarril was seen floating in the water unconscious while Hambo was standing on a platform.
" Azumarril! " Airka cried out.
" Azumarril is unable to battle! Hambo is the winner! " the referee declared with the crowd cheering showing how much they enjoyed the battle.
Airka pokemon 2
" Awsome job Hambo! " Jake commented giving the dark fighting type a thumbs up.
" Hambo! " the ape Pokémon cried out while appearing to do a pose of somesort.
" Wow! That was really good! " Lorri exclaimed with Monferno nodding.
" Azumarril was good, but Jake figured out how to beat her " Korrina added with Rockruff barking in agreement with his trainer while Lucario nodded.
" I'm now actually curious to know what Airka will do now " Carder spoke up. " One pokemon down is good, but at the same time Azumarril alone did a lot on both Lumifly and Hambo. On top of that Larvitar is a rock type so the odds aren't looking good. "
" Return Azumarril! " Airka then aimed a red beam at the aqua rabbit and returned it to its ball.
" Great job, now rest up " the blue haired woman said before she then brought out another pokeball.
" Clauncher, resurface! " and just like that the water gun pokemon had returned to the field.
" Alright, tag out Hambo " Jake said as he was about to aim Hambo's pokeball at the ape Pokémon but instead it just hopped right over to his side.
" You wanna watch what's gonna happen next huh? "
" Hambo " the ape Pokémon replied making the green haired teen laugh a little.
" Okay, if that's what you want. Go Lumifly! " then just like Lumifly returned to the battle field.
" Battle begin! " the ref called out.
" Clauncher use Crab Hammer! " the little water type coated it's larger claw in water and blasted off towards the glow moth pokemon.
" Quick Lumifly! Fairy Wind! " Jake called with Lumifly quickly flapping it's wings creating a glitter like wind that knocked the water gun pokemon back.
" Water Pulse! " and just like that seizing the opportunity it fired a pulse made out of water scoring a direct hit and inflicting a lot of damage.
" Lumifly! You okay?! " Jake called out with the glow moth pokemon cooing in response nodding it's head.
" Clauncher Water Pulse! "
" Dodge it and use Fairy Wind! " Clauncher once again fired an orb made out of water while Lumifly darted to the side and flapped its wings making more glitter like wind that hit the small water type.
" Quick use Rain Dance! " obeying it's trainers command the water gun pokemon fired a stream of water into the air and before long it began to rain confusing Jake but quickly made a command.
" Wrap this up with Psybeam! "
And just like that the water gun pokemon had recieved a direct hit making it fall out of the air and crashed into a nearby wall close to Airka.
" Clauncher! " Airka cried out as it made impact with the wall behind her.
" Clauncher is unable to battle! Lumifly wins! " the referee declared.
Airka pokemon 1
" Alright! Now just one more Pokémon left! " Lorri said happily.
" Yeah, but it ain't gonna be easy, becuase we already know who it is " Carder chimed in as Airka returned Clauncher to it's pokeball.
" Nice work, now take a good rest. Jake this battle is so exciting! " the blue haired woman cried out and then readjusted her glasses.
" I couldn't agree more " the green haired teen replied.
" But now it's all or nothing. Here's my last pokémon! Go Arcanine! " she then threw her pokeball into the water and released the legendary Pokémon who howled into the air now making its presence known.
" So this is her strongest... " Jake whispered
" Battle begin! " the referee began.
" Lumifly use Psybeam! "
" Arcanine use Whirlpool! " both Pokémon the fired off their attacks with Lumifly shooting two rainbow pinkish beams from its attena's while Arcanine unleashed a mighty howl creating a whirlpool that easily over powered Lumiflys move and trapped it inside .
" Lumifly use Fairy Wind! "
" Use, Ice Fang! Airka commanded as the water type's fangs were enveloped in cold energy and dashed across the water towards Lumifly and proved to be to fast as the large water type powered through the move and bit onto the whirlpool frezing it solid before it shattered with the glow moth pokemon falling into the water.
" Lumifly is unable to battle! Arcanine' the winner! " the referee declared.
Jake Pokémon 2
" Lumifly return! " Jake then returned the bug fairy type to it's pokeball. " Great job " the green haired teen whispered and then gazed at Arcanine.
( Now I know why Airka used Rain Dance before Clauncher was knocked out, Arcanine's ability is swiftswim so that means it's speed is double and it's power is increased. I'll need to find a way to make my pokemon hold out until the rain is over. )
" Hambo your up! " Jake called out as the ape pokemon jumped onto a platform and appeared to crack it's knuckles just showing how excited he was to battle.
" Alright, battle begin! " the refree declared.
" Hambo, Threatening Roar! "
" Ham! Ham! Ham! " the dark fighting type cried out as it began to pound on it's chest like a gorilla and increased it's power a little while lowering some of Aracnine's speed.
" It won't help...Arcanine ,Ice Beam! " the legendary pokemon howled as then fired a powerful beam of ice.
" Now Hambo use Brick Break on the field! " and just like that the ape Pokémon slammed down onto the water making a large splash that took the ice beam head on frezing it solid.
" Very nice... " Airka muttered as Jake made another move.
" Now use Brick Break on the ice! "
" Hambo! " the dark fighting type said as it then shattered the ice and sent it right back at Arcanine finnaly inflicting a little bit of damage to the water type.
" Okay Arcanine, Whirlpool! " the water type howled again creating another whirlpool before it headed to Hambo.
" Dodge it Hambo! "
" Ham! " the ape pokemon then jumped to another platform avoiding the attack.
" No you don't! use Surf! " once again the water type howled as it then summoned a huge wave and rode on it right in Hambo's direction.
( Think! What would-Aha! ) Jake came up with an idea.
" Hambo use Brick Break and propel yourself into the air! "
" Hambo! " the ape pokemon cried out as it then used it's attack making it jump high into the air just enough to dodge Aracanine's attack.
" Now use Bite on it's tail! "
" Haaaambo! " the ape pokemon then dove down and bit right onto the large water types fin like tail making it cry out in pain.
" Now Brick Break! "
" Not so fast! Arcanine go underwater! "
" Oh no! " Jake gasped as the legendary pokemon dived in the water taking Hambo with it and making it lose it's grip as it resurfaced and got some air.
" Hambo get out of the water! " the green teen ordered with the ape pokemon swimming as fast as it could to a nearby platform.
" Now wrap this up with Whirlpool! " Airka commanded as a Whirlpool caught onto Hambo taking it underwater and in a few seconds the ape pokemon resurfaced and was knocked out.
" Hambo! " Jake cried out.
" Hambo is unable to battle Arcanine is the winner! " the referee declared with the crowd cheering on for the great battle that was occurring right in front of them.
Jake Pokémon 1
" Okay Hambo, return, excellent job " Jake said thanking the ape pokemons hard work and looked down to his partner.
" Larvitar, it's your turn buddy. This is the real deal so let's do this "
" Lar! " the rock skin pokemon replied nodding it's head before it jumped onto a platform.
" So Larvitar is your last pokemon? I have to comment it's a bad choice sine it's a rock type " Airka said.
" I'm aware of that, but it don't matter! Me and Larvitar are gonna give it our all " Jake replied.
" We'll see about that! " Airka returned as the referee began the battle.
" Begin! "
" Larvitar lets start this off with Screech! "
" Larvitar! " the rock skin pokemon then emitted an ear peircing cry that made Arcanine skid back.
" Go underwater Arcanine! "
" Try this on for size! Larvitar jump into the air and use Rock Tomb! "
" Hehe, use Ice Fang! " after that Arcanine bolted out of the water with its fangs infused in cold energy.
" Go Larvitar! " obeying his trainers command the rock skin pokemon then made all of the boulders dart right at the legendary pokemon that swiftly dodged all of them before making it's mark.
" Use Payback! "
" Larvitar! " it then coated itself in a dark energy before multiple tendrils lashed out scoring a direct hit on Arcanine doubling it's attack power after it was hit.
" Alright nice move! " Korrina commented with Rockruff barking in agreement while Lucario nodded.
" Time to make things interesting...Arcanine use Ice Beam on the battle field! " the large water type then leaped into the air and unleashed a beam of cold energy and aimed it right at the water that made up most of the battlefield.
" How do you like this Jake? It's now all ice. So let's see what you can do now. Arcanine Whirlpool! " Obeying Airka's command the large water type howled before trapping Larvitar in a watery vortex.
" Now Ice Fang! "
" Not so fast! " Jake cried out. " Larvitar spin with the vortex and use Rock Tomb! "
" Tar! " and just like that the rock skin pokemon obeyed it's trainers command and was in complete sync with the whirlpool before it made multiple boulders materialize. Then just as Arcanine was gonna make contact the vortex gained speed and it then knocked Arcanine away much to everyone's surprise.
" No way! " Lorri exclaimed along with Monferno.
" He made use of Whirlpool and merged it Rock Tomb to make a new weapon with it! " Carder spoke up revealing what he did and clapped his hands. " Now that's awesome right there! "
Then all of the sudden the vortex disappeared along with the rain stopping making Jake collect his thoughts.
( Alright! Now Arcanine's speed is lowered along with it's water type moves. But...I have to admit, it feels good. This is what it's like to be in a real battle. )
" That was a really nice move Jake! " Airka called out " you literally made use out of our move and turned it against us in a unique way so bravo! But let's see if he has anymore surprises! Arcanine use Surf! "
The water type then howled before summoning a huge wave and rode on it giving Jake a really crazy idea.
" Hey Larvitar!? " the rock skin pokemon turned around " what do you say? Surf's up? "
Larvitar then got excited " Larvitar! " the rock skin pokemon replied before it then created a boulder and then hopped on it before it did something amazing. The little rock type was now surfing on the wave of Arcanine making the whole crowd go wild at this spectacular sight before them while Airka was laughing.
" That's just to amazing! but play time's over! Switch to Ice Fang! "
" Quick use Screech! " Jake called out with Larvitar once again emitting an ear piercing cry stunning Arcanine and making it fall into the water.
" Wipe out! " Jake exclaimed happily.
" Alright, Arcanine Whirlpool! " once again the large water type emitted a powerful howl creating a whirlpool that darted towards Larvitar.
" Counter it with Stone Edge! "
" Larvitar! " the rock skin pokemon punched onto the ice making making multiple sharp rocks burst out and intercepted with the attack along with the ice beginning to return to normal.
" Yeah! So them how ya do it buddy! " Jake cried out as Larvitar quickly got back on a platform.
" Your Larvitar is really something Jake...but now it's time to end this... " Airka said as she then raised an arm into the air and began to sway her arms as if she was in water.
" Oh no " Carder muttered
" What is it? " Lorri inquired.
" She's using a Z move! " the older teen said with Korrina gasping because she heard of what Z move's were capable of.
" Guiding currents of the ocean hear me now, respond to my love of the sea! Arcanine! Hydro Vortex! " then all of the sudden Arcanine was enveloped in blue energy before all of the sudden it summoned a massive whirlpool before it tackled Larvitar inside making it cry out in pain.
" Hang on Larvitar! " Jake cried out as Arcanine bashed into the small rock type multiple times before the whirlpool disapeared before it delivered the final blow making Larvitar crash right onto a platform.
" Ummmm. Larvitar is una- " the referee was just about to declare the victor and then all of the sudden Larvitar pushed itself back up grunting through all of the damage it took from that last attack.
" What the? " Airka asked as it then pushed itself up successfully.
" Were not done yet! " Jake yelled out with Larvitar feeling the same way much to everyone's shock especially for Airka.
( This is impossible! Most rock types I'd face would faint instantly after taking the Hydro Vortex head on! The endurance his pokemon has, it's incredible! ) Airka said to herself before regaining her composure.
" Well it looks like you might not have no choice! Arcanine use Whirl Pool! "
" Alright Larvitar time for Stone Edge! "
" Larvitar! " the little rock type then punched the platform making a single rock spike shoot out going through the whirlpool and hit the water type making Arcanine recoil in pain.
" Now use Payback! " Larvitar didn't let up as a dark aura surrounded it's body and made multiple tendrils lash out threw the rock hitting the water type.
" Arcanine! Use Ice Fang! "
" Not so fast! Use Rock Tomb! " just as the legendary pokemon got it's attack ready Larvitar made multiple boulders materialize around it's body and much to everyone else's shock the multiple shattered pieces from the Stone Edge were being controlled before they all hit Arcanine head on making it howl in pain as it then crashed landed on a nearby platform creating a dust cloud.
" Arcanine no! " Airka cried out as the dust revealed that the water type was down for the count.
" Arcanine is unable to battle! " the referee declared " And with that victor goes to the challenger Jake Blackwood! " after that was said the crowd threw a huge round of applause while Larvitar jumped up to his trainer.
" Yeah! We did it buddy! We did it! " the green haired teen exclaimed excitedly feeling good about this victory while Airka sighed as she went over to her pokemon and gently petted it.
" My sweet Arcanine, your were amazing as always.. " the water type growled in returned appreciating it's trainers comfort and laughed a little about both Jake and his Larvitar's bond.
Timeskip
The sun is now going down meaning it was the afternoon. Jake and his three pokemon Larvitar, Lumifly and Hambo gazing at Airka with the group close by.
" That was really a good battle Jake. I haven't had one so exciting and unexpected in a while, especially with the change from two to three. "
The green haired teen chuckled rubbing his hand behind his head. " Well, in the end it was defiantly fun, wasn't it? " Jake asked his three pokemon who instantly replied back.
" Not only have you given me a good idea, for my challengers and showed off some results of your unique training. You've defeated me with the force of raging river. So now...it's my duty to present proof that you defeated the Lapis City Gym. The rain badge "
She then extended a small display case to show three drops of water together with gold outlines that Jake quickly grabbed.
" Check it out! Badge number one! " the green haired teen said raising it into the air and showed it to his three pokemon.
" This is the beginning my friends...because we need seven more and that'll mean more training and making new friends along the way. Are you in!? "
" Larvitar! "
" Hambo! " both the rock skin and ape pokemon replied while Lumifly cooed in response meaning yes as he put it in his badge case.
" That's your first badge right? " Airka asked with nodding in response. " If your aiming for your second, head to Belafore city. "
All of the sudden Lorri gasped. " That's right! My next contest is in Belfafore city! " with Airka nodding in agreement.
" Ah so your a coordinator? Don't worry the conest won't start in another 4 days. But if you go through the Storm Canyons then you'll get there in two days guaranteed. "
" Thanks a lot Airka " Jake said before he turned around. " Well, see ya! " and just like that they waved Airka goodbye.
" Bye Jake! Once your there tell the Belfafore city gym leader Zatch that Airka sent ya! "
" Will do! " Jake replied as they all then set off.
It now shows the group right in the middle of a small forest sitting around a camp fire with Rockruff playing with Larvitar in the background along with Monferno.
" Nothing beats instnant ramen because you can make it on the road " Jake said as he happily prepared to eat and instantly dug in.
" How many of those do you have? "
" A medium and an extra large " the green haired teen replied as he continued to eat making Korrina chuckle at her friends seemingly bottomless pit before Rockruff began to rub it's spiked mane on Korrina who laughed at her little pokemons playful side while trying not to show that the puppy pokemons affection kind of hurt a little.
" By the way Jake how'd you do that? Back at the Lapis city gym? How'd you make Larvitar's Rock Tomb able to control the pieces of the Stone Edge? "
" Well... " Jake began with a mouthful and then swallowed to continue. " I figured that if Rock Tomb could materialize rocks then why not see if it could control the pieces of other rocks? "
" Basically, it's another method much like with Confusion and Psychic right? " Lorri inquired.
" Kind of. But hey Carder? "
" Hmm? " the older teen replied to Jake.
" What kind of pokemon does the Belafore gymleader use? "
" Ah, Zatch. He uses Flying type pokemon. And let me tell ya, he knows his stuff, minus that problem he has. "
" Like what? " Lorri inquired.
" Just trust me, you'll know it when you see it. Trust me " the older brother said to his little sister as they all enjoyed the moment of peace right underneath the stars and would continue their journey tomorrow.
To be continued.

The Tricky Swablu!
Chapter 9
Soaring to New Heights!
Okay! I'm sorry for the wait everyone, I've just been very busy trying to update my story's with this one included.
Also how did you all like the first gym battle of the story? I wanted to be more creative and think out of the box so I figured do something that sounds totally crazy.
Now it's time to reply to my reviewers
The Celestial Sky Dragon.
You misspelled Airka's name for Akira witch is a good movie and Lupis witch it's spelled Lapis. But hey were all human or are we? Okay enough of that aside, glad to see that you enjoyed Lorri spending time with Golem and there will be more moments. Plus does that answer your question with a Lapras?
As for Airka I'm surprised you didn't figure out that the whole scene is Full Metal Alchemist reference...Plus don't worry about Franky he'll show up here and now, but eventually a character not like Gary would be needed just to make things interesting. Also don't worry about starter pokemon they'll show up sooner or later. And what you talking about? I love Mudkip! Either way I do hope that you enjoyed this chapter.

To answer your question on that yep.
Any who, that's enough for right, now if any of you enjoyed this please review and give me your thoughts and advice because I'd really appreciate it.
So until next time...
G King!
Out!
P.s What pokemon would you see yourself as in a mystery dungeon game? I see myself as a Snorlax guild master, hehehe.
