Ch. 3 vs. Mimi
"This will be a one on one match. Each trainer is allowed to use two pokemon total for this battle. Each trainer is also allowed to switch out at any time during the battle. The first person to have two pokemon unable to battle loses." Dominic shouted to her.
Mimi nodded. She reached into her shoulder bag and threw out Cacnea. "Let's go Cacnea!" she shouted.
Dominic smirked and threw out Wingull, "You've got this Wingull! Use air slash!" he commanded and Wingull did so.
Cacnea jumped out of the way and jumping at Wingull, pounded him into the ground with a needle arm. When Wingull fell into the ground, Cacnea followed up with poison sting.
"Excellent job Cacnea!" Mimi shouted.
Wingull managed to recover and get back into the air however it was now poisoned and very weak.
"Hang in there Wingull!" Dominic shouted. "I've got to think of something fast." he thought to himself.
Then he noticed Cacnea kneeling on the ground.
"What's wrong Cacnea. Get up!" Mimi shouted.
On Cacnea, Mimi and Dominic saw a purple residue. It was Wingull's toxic.
"How did that get there?" Mimi shouted.
"Wingull used toxic as soon as Cacnea got close enough." Dominic said smirking.
"Wingull, use air slash again and let's wrap this up!" he said.
Wingull used the last of its energy to unload a barrage of air slashes on Cacnea who could do nothing about it. When the smoke cleared, Cacnea was revealed to have fainted. Mimi withdrew her pokemon and was reaching for her second one when Wingull went down.
"Good job Wingull." Dominic said returning Wingull to its pokeball.
Totodile immediately jumped out of its pokeball and onto the battlefield pumped and ready to fight.
"Man, you just don't wait to be called out do you?" Dominic chuckled looking down at Totodile who was jumping up and down with excitement.
"What an interesting Totodile you have there, however this fight is over." Mimi said as she revealed her next pokemon. "Let's end this Roselia."
"You up for this challenge Totodile? You may be at a disadvantage by type but you are still strong enough to go toe to toe with her." Dominic said.
Totodile began to do its dance and then in a blink of an eye dashed off and was already half across the battlefield.
"Wow, this Totodile is faster than normal Totodiles. How is this possible." Mimi said to herself.
Totodile slammed its tail into Roselia only to have it blocked. Rosalia retaliated by unleashing a storm of razor leaves which repelled Totodile sending him skidding across the ground and into the water. A moment later Totodile shot out of the water and landed on the ground, again he did his bazaar dance but this time when Totodile dashed off, he became a blur. Rosalia then was seen being violently hit in all directions not being able to do anything.
"There's only one thing I can do to end this." Mimi mumbled. "Roselia use leaf storm!" she shouted. After Roselia had been hit, it unleashed a hurricane of leaves in all directions.
Totodile was unable to escape this attack and was caught in the storm. When the leaf storm subsided, Totodile was on the ground unable to fight. Dominic sighed but was impressed he did this well considering it was his first battle. He withdrew Totodile back into his pokeball.
"I won?" Mimi said with a small pause after. "I won! I can't believe it!" she squealed.
"Come with me." Dominic said walking off towards the back of the gym.
Mimi followed until she entered the infirmary. Dominic was standing in front of a healing machine waiting for his pokemon to finish healing. After about a minute or so he took his pokeballs off the machine. "Here, use this machine to heal your pokemon. I'll meet you in the cafeteria. It's all the way down to the left when you leave this room." Dominic said leaving the room.
Mimi healed her pokemon and after five minutes, did what Dominic had told her to do. She saw Dominic sitting with his two pokemon in the cafeteria feeding them as well as eating his own food.
"Hey, where's my badge?" she shouted.
"Right here." he said pulling it out of his pocket and sliding it to her. "Congratulations on earning the Crescent Badge. If you want, you can take some of the food I have here and make you and your pokemon something to eat." Dominic said happily.
Mimi took the badge and looked at it. "It's a pretty badge." she commented.
"Yeah. It is. I like it's design." Dominic replied.
Mimi smiled at him and got for for her and her pokemon. She sat by Dominic and the two enjoyed their lunch.
"So where are you from Mimi?" Dominic asked.
"Texas." she said shoving a sandwich she had made into her mouth.
"Nice, what part of Texas?" he asked.
"Huston." she replied giving her pokemon some of her food. "Now, it's my turn for questions. How did you get selected for gym leader of Louisiana?" she asked.
"A while back, I ran into the original person selected and I beat him in a battle and it turns out one of the directors was watching and decided to make me gym leader instead. It was all thanks to Totodile, however what's funny is he didn't belong to me. He randomly walked up to me just a couple of minutes before I had my first battle and next thing I know, I'm gym leader." Dominic replied.
Mimi chuckled "You battled using a wild pokemon? That's priceless!"
"Yeah..." Dominic said chuckling.
Mimi finished eating and feeding her pokemon and got up.
"Where you heading to next?" Dominic asked.
"I think I'll head down to Florida. I hear the gym leader there has a wicked Feraligatr. No offense to you of course." she said.
"None taken. Well I hope to see you again. It was a fun battle and we can do it again next time you are in town." he said.
"Ok." she said smiling. "That sounds nice."
She left the cafeteria and Dominic looked down to see a folded piece of paper on the table. Dominic opened it to see he name and number with a little heart next to it.
Dominic laughed, "Clever girl." he said.
