Battle for the Coal Badge
Good evening or morning or afternoon or night or whenever you might be reading this. So if you've read the chapters before this, you know what expect, If you haven't then read them before this. Ok, now for what your really here for.
"First move's yours" Said Roark
"Happily, Chimchar agility" Ash started off
The fire type began running at high speeds running in circles around geodude
"geodude, rollout" Roark said calmly
Geo" Said the rock pokemon as it began rolling after chimchar who kept dodging the hits
"Chimchar, keep dodging those hits" Ash said as he noticed that geodude was constantly picking speed in its pursuit of chimchar, however no matter how fast chimchar kept trying to dodge, geodude finally managed land a hit on the fire type
"grr, that was strong, I guess time to fight rolling with rolling, Chimchar, flame wheel" Ash ordered
Both pokemon were rolling on the floor trying to land a hit on the other, but no matter how each of them tried they both were picking up speed and dodging eachother
"Now geodude, rocktomb" Roark ordered the rock type
"geo" Said the pokemon as it came out of rollout and launched rocks trapping the incoming rolling fire type in between the rocks
"Ok chimchar, use those rocks to get you in the air, then ember toward the ground to propel you upwards, then flame wheel again" Ash commanded his pokemon
Chimchar propelled himself into the air using the surrounding rocks, then broke out off flame wheel, then unleashed an ember attack on geodude's head propelling him into the air as geodude cried out in pain, then rolled into a flame wheel and propelled himself from midair, colliding directly with geodude, knocking it out quite quickly.
"haha, well I guess your chimchar is tougher than I thought, but it's no match for my next pokemon, let's go nosepass" Roark released a rock pokemon with a cone shaped orange nose and a sturdy figure
"Wow, what is that?" Said James as he consulted his pokedex
"Nosepass, the Compass Pokémon. Its nose can point to the north like a compass needle. Travelers can use Nosepass to check directions." Said the pokedex
"Chimchar, let's make this a quick one. Scratch on that things legs" Ash ordered chimchar, as it leaped at the rock type and scratched the pokemon's legs. However it seemed to have done nothing what so ever
"My turn" Roark said "Nosepass, rock throw"
Nosepass began shaking the ground, making rocks fall from the ceilings and walls most of which hit chimchar, knocking it out instantly
"Damn that has to be fast, well let's use my trump card next. Go dustox" Ash said as released the poison moth pokemon into battle
"Dustox gust" Ash told the bug and poison type. Dustox began flapping its wings rapidly causing huge winds to start blowing through the gym. But nosepass seemed unaffected by the change of conditions.
"haha, it will take more than that to take out this pokemon. Nosepass lets show them our hidden move. Thunder wave" Roark laughed as the rock type unleashed the electric type attack straight toward the poison moth pokemon.
"what?!" Ash said shocked. Before Ash could give an order, Dustox began to glow red and unleashed a multicoloured beam right through the thunder wave and hitting nosepass straight in the face.
"Wait! Was that psybeam?!" Asked James shocked
"I think so" Said Ash amazed as well
"well, I must say that was quite a surprise, but even that will take some more hits to knock this pokemon out, rock throw again" ordered Roark
Once again nosepass began to shake the ground causing the gym to rubbles. After the rocks had passed dustox had disappeared
"Where is that bug?" Asked Roark
"Now dustox poison sting" Ash ordered the pokemon who emerged from behind Roark and and shot poison darts from its mouth which struck nosepass right in the back
"pass" The pokemon called out in pain
"Now psybeam down that over sized compass" Ash followed up as the Poison Moth pokemon launched a high powered multi coloured beam striking nosepass right in the face
"No nosepass! Please get up" Roark begged, but got no response from nosepass
"Nosepass is unable to battle, the winner is Dustox and the winner of the Coal badge is Ash Ketchum from twinleaf town!" announced the announcer
"Great job dustox, I knew you could do it" Ash congratulated the pokemon
"Well Ash, I must confess, that was a great battle. I feel no shame in giving you this Coal badge" Said Roark as he handed Ash a Bronze Badge with a rock like pokeball symbol on it.
"Wow, thanks Roark, I hope we get to battle again sometime" Said Ash as James appeared behind him
"That's all very good, but now Roark. I challenge you to a battle for the Coal badge" James announced
"haha, well a promise is a promise. The same rules apply as my battle with Ash" Said Roark as Ashe took his seat
"Great battle Ash" Dawn whispered to Ash
"Thanks" Ash whispered back "How's the egg?"
"Few shakes" Dawn replied in a whisper
"Ok Larvitar, Let's go" Roark released his pokemon
"Wow, I always wanted a Larvitar" Ash said consulting his pokedex
"Larvitar, the Rock Skin Pokémon. Larvitar generally hatch deep within the earth and take a long time before coming to the surface." Replied Ash's Pokedex
"Must be strong" Said Dawn
"Ok, go for it, Turtwig" James said as he released his Sinnoh starter
"turt" It said as it was released
"Now turtwig, razor leaf" James took an early start
Turtwig launched a series of sharp leaves towards Larvitar which took the full blow of the attack
"Now, Vine whip" James said calmly
The grass type launched two vines which once again Larvitar took in the face, knocking it out instantly
"Well that was easy..." Said James
"Ah well, I guess that's what you get for fighting a gym battle with a brand new pokemon" Said Roark "however this battle is not over yet, Let's do this Cranidos" Roark released a pokemon that looked to have had very strong legs and a rock solid head
"What is that" Said Dawn checking her pokedex
"Cranidos, the Head Butt Pokémon. Cranidos lived in the deep woods about one-hundred million years ago, and its cranium is as hard as steel." Said the pokedex
"Ah well, rock types are rock types" Said James confidently "Turtwig wrap up its legs with Vine whip, then razor leaf" Turtwig launched the two vines as it wrapped around cranidos's legs trapping it, before launching two sharp Razor Leafs
"Now cranidos, headbutt" Said Roark
Cranidos managed to break through the vines using its powerful legs before charging through the incoming leaves before smashing its iron solid head into turtwig. Knocking it out quickly
"Grr, return Turtwig, wow that thing's tough, but still no match for me. Go Sableye" Said Dawn as he released the Darkness Pokemon
"Quick Sableye shadow sneak" James ordered his pokemon as his pokemon disappeared into the shadows before appearing behind cranidos and attacking him from behind
"Well, that thing is sneaky, but it's going to take more than a simple attack to take cranidos out" said Roark "Now cranidos take down" Cranidos charged towards sableye smashing it straight in the stomach.
"Damn, Sableye shadow Claw" James fought back
"Not so fast, Cranidos takedown" Roark said smugly as cranidos smashed into sableye only taking a small bit of the shadow claw
"How is that thing so fast?" James thought to himself "Well I need to slow that thing down" "Go sableye Confuse ray" James attempted
Sableye sent out a beam of light which rendered Cranidos confused so that he could no longer determine where his attacks and himself were going.
"Now Sableye shadow sneak" James ordered his pokemon. Sableye disappeared into the shadows before appearing behind cranidos and striking it in the head. Knocking it unconscious
"W-wait, what?" Roark stuttered "you mean to say my cranidos lost"
"haha, yes" James said victoriously
"Great job" Said Dawn and Ash at the same time
"well I guess you deserve this as well" Said Roark as he handed James a Coal Badge just like Ash's
"Thanks" James said thankfully
"If you two want to participate in the pokemon league, I suggest you head to the nearest gym in eterna city. As for you Dawn, I suggest you head to Floaroma for the pokemon contest next week." Said Roark "Both of you, I appreciate the great battle today, and both of you truly deserve those badges"
"Uh guys" Said Dawn worriedly
"What?" Said James curiously looking at her
"The egg" She said as she began running towards the pokemon centre
"What?" Both boys looked shocked as they chased after her
"May as well" Said Roark as he followed the two boys
At the pokemon centre
"Come on, don't hatch yet, we're almost there" Dawn said to the egg as she continued running towards the pokemon centre
After some running she burst through the doors and said "Nurse Joy, The egg!"
"Oh my" Said nurse Joy worriedly as she took the egg and took it to the monitoring room
The two boys and Roark finally reached and rushed to the observation room to see Nurse Joy, Dawn and chansey surrounding the glowing egg
"You boys are just in time" Said nurse joy as they entered "And nice to see you again Roark"
But soon after she finished the sentence a green bud broke through the roof of the egg, followed by the rest of the pokemon
"It's adorable" Said Dawn amazed
Nice way to end the chapter. Thanks for reading. R&R
