The next morning, Nils, Ren and Firenze woke up, had breakfast and headed to the Sacr City Gym for Nils' Gym Battle. When they got to the Gym, the trio entered and found Harry waiting for them.

"I'm glad you could make it," said Harry, "Ready for the battle?"

""Yep," said Nils and the trio and the Gym Leader went to the stadium.

"The Battle between Harry, the Gym Leader, and Nils, the challenger, will now begin," said a young referee, "Each trainer will use three Pokemon and the winner will be decided when all three of a Trainer's Pokemon are unable to battle." "Also only the challenger can substitute Pokemon." "Now begin."

"Go Ledyba," said Nils as he sent out Ledyba.

"Go Mime Jr," said Harry as he sent out his Mime Jr.

"Ledyba use Supersonic," said Nils but when Ledyba used the move of choice, nothing happened.

"Why didn't it work," asked Ren.

"Mime Jr's ability must be Soundproof," answered Firenze, "It makes Mime Jr immune to any sound related attack."

"Use Copycat," said Harry and Mime Jr used Supersonic, because that was the last move Ledyba used, which worked.

"Hang in there Ledyba," said Nils who became worried.

"Now use Doubleslap," said Harry and Mime Jr attacked Ledyba with the selected attack. "Use Confusion," and Mime Jr used the selected move which gave Ledyba lots of damage but also snapped him out of the confusion.

"Great job Ledyba," said Nils, "Use Silverwind," and Ledyba managed to hit Mime Jr with Silverwind which raised all of his stats.

"Let me try something," said Harry," Use Copycat," and Mime Jr used Silverwind but out of luck, Mime Jr's stats did not raise.

"Use Comet Punch," said Nils which made Ledyba start using the chosen move.

"Use Doubleslap," said Harry and Mime Jr counterattacked Ledyba's Comet Punch with Doubleslap.

The two Pokemon kept hitting each other again and again, but Mime Jr took more damage due to all of Ledyba's stats being risen.

"Finish with Aerial Ace," said Nils and Ledyba defeated Mime Jr with the selected attack.

"Mime Jr is unable to battle," said the referee, "Ledyba wins."

"Great job Ledyba," said Nils as Ledyba took a victory pose.

"Not bad," said Harry, "Now try this, go Togetic," and Harry's Togetic appeared on the battlefield.

"Use Aerial Ace," said Nils which made Ledyba use the chosen move.

"You use Aerial Ace too," said Harry and Togetic started using the same move as Ledyba.

The two Aerial Aces crashed into each other and were equal in power since the move was super effective on Ledyba but Ledyba still had the boost from Silverwind.

"Their Aerial Aces may be equal," said Harry, "But Ledyba still has the damage it took from Mime Jr." "Now use Fairy Wind," and Togetic used the selected attack which defeated Ledyba.

"Ledyba is unable to battle," said the Referee, "Togetic is the winner."

"You did great Ledyba, have a good rest," said Nils as he returned Ledyba to his Pokeball. "Go Spoink." and Spoink appeared in the battlefield. "Use Powergem," and Spoink used the attack of choice on Togetic who dodged with ease.

"Use Sweet Kiss," said Harry and Togetic confused Spoink with the selected move. "Now Last Resort," and Togetic used the move on Spoink which did lots of damage.

"What's Last Resort," asked Ren.

"It's a powerful move that only works when all of the user's other moves have been used in battle at least once each," answered Firenze.

Just then, Spoink snapped out of the confusion and looked like he could still handle the battle.

"Use Psybeam," said Nils hoping he could confuse that powerful Togetic and when Spoink used the move Togetic became confused. "Try Powergem again," and this time the Rock Type move managed to hit the confused Togetic which caused super effective damage. "Now Zen Headbutt," and Spoink used the chosen attack which managed to hit but was followed by Togetic's confusion wearing off.. "Use Psybeam," and Spoink used the move of choice.

"Use Last Resort," said Harry and Togetic launched the move on Spoink which hit him at the same time Togetic was hit by the Psybeam which knocked out both Pokemon.

"Both Pokemon are unable to battle," said the referee as Spoink and Togetic were both returned to their Pokeballs.

"Go Bulbasaur," said Nils as he sent out Bulbasaur.

"Go Slurpuff," said Harry as he sent out his Slurpuff.

"Use Sleep Powder," said Nils and Bulbasaur used the selected move which failed because Surpuff's ability was apparently Sweet Veil.

"Use Cotton Guard," said Harry and Slurpuff used the chosen move which raised Slurpuff's defense by a lot.

"Use Razor Leaf," said Nils and Bulbasaur used the selected move which didn't do much damage because of Cotton Guard.

"Use Play Rough," said Harry and Slurpuff used the attack of choice which gave Bulbasaur a lot of damage.

"How am I going to win this," thought Nils.

Just then, Nils noticed something strange about Bulbasaur and then realized something.

"Use Sludge Bomb," said Nils who had figured out Bulbasaur learned a new move and Bulbasaur used the move on Slurpuff which did lots of damage because it was unaffected by Cotton Guard and was super effective.

"Interesting miracle," said Harry, "But I'm not going down that easily, use Play Rough," and Slurpuff charged at Bulbasaur preparing to use the selected attack.

"Use Sludge Bomb," said Nils and Bulbasaur managed to land the attack on Slurpuff at the same time Slurpuff's Play Rough hit her which caused an explosion.

After the explosion, both Pokemon were still standing up until Slurpuff fell down which meant it was defeated.

"Slurpuff is unable to battle," said the referee, "Bulbasaur wins which means the victor is Nils, the challenger."

"Alright we did it," said Nils as he returned Bulbasaur.

"Nice job," said Harry as he walked over to Nils, "You did well in beating me." "Also, as proof of your victory here, here is the Fantasy Badge," Harry said as he gave Nils a pink, cloud shaped badge.

"Thanks," said Nils and he, Ren and Firenze left for the Pokemon Center.

At the Pokemon Center, the trio were waiting for Nils' Pokemon to be healed and were also wondering which Gym to visit next. Nils then looked at a map of the entire Kanto Region that was on a wall and realized Celadon City was nearby.

"Why don't we go to Celadon City next," suggested Nils, "It has the best stores for all kinds of things that can be found in Kanto. "Also it's nearby."

Ren and Firenze agreed that that was a good idea and once Nils got back his healed Pokemon, the trio started going to Celadon City.
