But first….Thanks to all reviewers!!! (Too lazy to list everyone out . )

Now you can read. Enjoy, and hope this chapter doesn't disappoint!

"A Sinnoh Destiny" Chapter 6: Rocky Showdown!


Previously:

Cranidos' eyes spun like dizzy circles. Yes! My plan worked! The brunette thought.

"And the battle goes to Ale---" the referee began, but was cut off by a flick of the hand from the Oreburgh City Gym Leader.

"Not so fast," Roark said, gesturing to his Cranidos, who was beginning to stand up. "We still have a plan."


"WHAT?!" Alexis, Josh, and June all said at once.

Roark stifled a tiny laugh, and coughed instead. "Now, Cranidos, use Thunderbolt!" A huge bolt of electricity shot through the air, and struck Prinplup. The super-effective Electric type move hit the Water type, and it flew backwards, colliding with a large boulder on the field. The collision made it break, smashing into pieces.

"Prinplup!" Alexis called out to her Pokemon. "Are you alright?" With a slight nod, Prinplup shook itself and stood back up. Roark seemed impressed.

"It takes more than that to make us lose, you know!" the brunette yelled back to Roark, who shrugged.

"We'll see about that! Now, Dig!" Cranidos burrowed into the ground, while Prinplup began to frantically spin in circles looking for it.

"Don't panic, Prinplup!" Alexis told the Penguin Pokemon, who calmed down, but only a little. Now, I need a plan… Suddenly, her green eyes lit up. "I've got it! Prinplup, use Metal Claw on the ground!"


"Why Metal Claw?" June asked from her seat in the bleachers.

"She probably wants to hit the ground hard enough so that Cranidos will pop out and she could hit it with a Water attack," Josh answered for her, not taking his eyes away from the battle.

Does he always have the answers? June asked herself.


Prinplup did as it's trainer told it to, pounding at the ground with a powerful slash of sharp claws.

"Cran…" Cranidos said, as it appeared on the field again, dazed from what happened. This time, Alexis wasn't going to let a perfect chance go to waste.

"Water Gun!" A stream of water hit Cranidos at full speed, sending the Pokemon sliding across the rocky field.

"Cranidos!" the Oreburgh City Gym Leader shouted. "Get back up and use Thunderbolt again!"

"Bubblebeam!"

The two attacks clashed with each other in the middle of the field and exploded. Alexis covered her face with her arm, while trying to find out if Prinplup was still standing. Both Pokemon took major damage from the attack, but Prinplup got injured more seriously because the Electric attack traveled on the water attack. (A/N: I think this is physics or something I learned from science class.) Both Pokemon collapsed at once.

"Cranidos! Try to get up!" Roark shouted to his Rock Pokemon, who struggled to get back on it's feet. Prinplup did the same as both Pokemon now not only competed for the badge: they competed for the pride of winning this long match.

Suddenly, Cranidos struggled under it's weight and just fell, exhausted. Alexis bit her lip as Prinplup was about to faint, but then it steadied itself with it's hand, and stood up.

"Way to go, Prinplup!" it's owner shouted to it in victory, making a 'V' sign with her right hand.

"And the battle goes to Alexis Summers of Twinleaf Town!" the referee shouted, pointing a green flag in her direction.

Alexis was too busy telling Prinplup what a wonderful job it did though, to notice the Gym leader approach her.

"Here, Alexis," he said, handing her the Coal Badge. "You deserve this."

Alexis picked up the badge from Roark's hand, and looked at it before exclaiming, "I've got the Coal Badge!"


Meanwhile, In Sandgem …

"So, boss," a male's voice said, holding up a device that showed a picture of the man on the other line. "How are we going to get the documents?"

"I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU DO, JUST GET THOSE PAPERS!!!!!" the Galactic boss on the end of the line shouted, before hanging up.

"Gosh, he's mean,"

"Be thankful, Sean! At least we didn't have to clean the toilets like Peter and Donnie did," a girl next to Sean, said.

"Right…"

"BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP"

"There goes the phone again," the girl said. She looked over Sean's shoulder, reading the letters on the screen. "Looks like it's the Boss."

"Ugh… Just what we needed." The boy muttered, shaking his head. "Boss?"

"YOU DUNCEBUCKET! HOW DO YOU EXPECT ME TO PERFORM ALL THE THINGS A BOSS NEEDS TO DO IF YOU KEEP ON TALKING TO ME?"

"Uh, Boss? You called me first…"

"GET OUT OF HERE, YOU WORTHLESS----'

"BOSS!"

"WHAT DO YOU WANT NOW, YOU TWERP??" The boss said in an outrage, until he remembered that he called Sean to remind him of something. "Oh Sean, there you are. Remember, the guy's name is Professor Rowan, OK? I have a few sources that say he's in Oreburgh doing research now. Just get those papers back here! If you don't, YOU'RE GONNA GET FIRED!!!"

Sean clicked off the phone. "Come on, Berry! You heard the boss, we've got to go to Oreburgh, quick! Here's your helmet." The 12-year old boy gave his partner a helmet, then he clicked on his own. The two rode toward Oreburgh, desperate not to get fired.

"Now, he said his name was Professor Rowan…"
