CHAPTER 11:

The Big Hit - Brawly

"Oh, yeah! Today's the day I get Badge numero dos!" Roy cheered, using a Mexican accent.

"Yup, Roy. You battle the Gym guy, I sunbathe and impress the guys, you tell me if you won or lost, and happy day." Melanie yammered. A pressure mark appeared on Roy's head.

"I don't think so, Mel. You're comin' with me."

Melanie moaned, although she was glad Roy wouldn't agree with her idea, which she didn't really intend to carry out. They carried on from the beach to the Gym, Roy grabbing Melanie because she wanted to look at the crystal blue sky and water. When they reached the Pokemon Gym, it was just a regular building with a pair of doors.

"Hellooooooooooo! Where's the Gym Leader?" Roy called. "I heard he's a big idiot."

That got the Leader's attention. He jumped down from a balcony and said:

"Yeah, right, dude."

The Leader had blue hair (!), an orange shirt with a black collar and white Poke Ball design around it, a black t-shirt under the orange one, blue jeans rolled up at the bottoms, and black-orange design shoes.

"Um… hi, dude. I'm Roy, and I'm here for a Gym Battle."

"Totally! I'm, like, Brawly, and, like, so stoked to meet you! Let's like, battle now! Uh…" Brawly began drooling when he saw Melanie. "Hey, cutie. How about you and me go catch a Luvdisc?" he asked, grabbing Melanie's hands.

"No. Just battle Roy." Brawly didn't let go. "That's it. EEYUUU! GO AWAY!"

Later, when everything was settled…

Brawly and Roy both drew out a Poke Ball, Roy's being a Net Ball.

"Okay, Machop! Get ready to rumble, dude!" Brawly yelled.

"Ma-chop!" Brawly's Machop grunted.

"Hmm! Maybe I should use mine…" Roy mumbled to himself.

"Yo (Anyone know what that means? I'm not a slang-user.), dude, DON'T TAKE ALL DAY!" Brawly yelled.

"Heh…" Roy said, sweat dropping. "Surskit, I choose you!"

"Surs-kit! Surskit!" Surskit grunted as it somersaulted out of the Ball, landing on its blue legs.

Battle statistics: This is a two-on-two Pokemon battle with no time limit. Only the challenger can make substitutions.

Roy's Surskit vs. Brawly's Machop

BATTLE COMMENCE!

"Machop, Bulk Up!" Brawly ordered.

Machop drew in a deep breath, upping his Attack and Defense.

"Surskit! Water Pulse!" Roy roared.

A ball of water in front of Surskit waved at Machop, knocking him back!

"Machop, you okay?" Brawly asked. Machop nodded in response.

"Okay, then use Cross Chop!"

Machop put his flat hands in an X position, and they began glowing white. He leapt at Surskit, slicing through a few rock pillars in the way. It hit its mark! Surskit let out a tremendous cry from the pain, as it was a critical hit!

"Surskit! Ha ha! Bubblebeam!"

Surskit shot out numerous blue bubbles at high-speed, making a critical hit on the inches-away Machop. Machop staggered and fell, eyes becoming spirals.

"Yes, Surskit! Nice job!" Roy cheered.

"Surs!" Surskit agreed.

Brawly picked up Machop in his arms.

"Hey, dude, you were great. You need a rest." Brawly pointed his Poke Ball at Machop, who went inside as red energy.

"Okay, time to do it! Roy, dude, I'll be using one of my… normally unused fighters. I choose you, Breloom!" he roared, throwing out a Great Ball.

"Breloom!" Breloom called. It had a mushroom "cap" with red "eyes" on the top, a mushroom-stem like-neck of the color white, black eyes, a pair of two red claws with apparently no arms, it was olive green waist-down, had red toe claws, a white tail and an Ankylosaurus-shaped olive green tail end.

'Hmm…' Roy thought, 'I better swap out.'

"Surskit, return!" Surskit flashed into the Ball in red light.

"Machop! Do it!"

"Ma-chop! Maaa!" Machop growled as he entered the fray.

Roy's Machop vs. Brawly's Breloom

BATTLE COMMENCE!

"Breloom, use Mega Drain!"

A ball of green… stuff appeared in front of Breloom, as did Machop. Energy was sucked to Breloom in a stream like way.

"Machop! Rolling Kick!"

Machop bounded towards Breloom and did a spin-kick, doing some good damage.

"Breloom, use, like, Mach Punch!"

Breloom disappeared in incredible speed! Machop couldn't see it!

"Machop! Umm… use--" Roy got cut off.

WHAM!

Machop was lying on the ground, knocked out. Breloom was standing behind it.

"Machop, return. Good show."

Machop went back in the Poke Ball.

Roy gulped and sent Surskit forth.

Roy's Surskit vs. Brawly's Breloom

BATTLE COMMENCE!

"Breloom, Mega Drain!"

A little bit energy from Surskit was sucked out, healing Breloom a bit.

"Surskit, Quick Attack!" Roy ordered.

Surskit raced toward Breloom, leaving a white light trail. Breloom was hit, but not before Breloom could use Mega Punch! Breloom knocked Surskit close to a wall. When Roy saw Breloom's flexible arms, he cried out:

"Whoa, it does have arms!"

"Now, Breloom, Headbutt!" Brawly called out to his Grass/Fighting element.

Breloom lowered its head and ran at Surskit, ready to deliver the final blow.

"No, Surskit!" Roy screamed.

Suddenly Surskit began glowing in white light!

"What…?" Roy wondered in amazement.

When it stopped glowing, Suskit somehow flew up, making Breloom crash into the wall! But Surskit wasn't a Surskit… it had an orange nose with beady, black eyes, four white, diamond-shaped legs that he flapped quickly, a white body with a point on the head, and wings that looked like mad eyes, with a red "pupil", white "iris", and an orange outer ring with little, white inlets.

"Mas-quer-ain!" it called out, and focused its eyes into Breloom's to use his Intimidate ability, halving Breloom's Attack.

"It evolved into a Masquerain! Awesome!" Roy cheered.

"Breloom, Sky Uppercut! Go!" Brawly ordered.

Breloom charged at Roy's new Masquerain, fist glowing blue.

"Masquerain! Aerial Ace!"

Masquerain disappeared, and then sliced Breloom from outta nowhere! Breloom groaned and fell, signifying Roy won!

"YEAH! Nice job, Masquerain!" Roy cheered, and recalled him.

Brawly recalled Breloom, thanking it for a job well done. He walked over to Roy and said:

"Roy, you've earned this Knuckle Badge. Take it."

Roy picked the Knuckle Badge up from Brawly's hand. It looked like a blue boxing glove with an orange dot on it.

"Thanks, Brawly. I did it! I got the Knuckle Badge!" Roy cheered.

Melanie came over to them and said that it was an amazing battle, and that Roy and she had to go to catch the ferry to Slateport! They left cheerfully, especially Roy, for he won two Gym Battles in a row. Will he keep up this record?
