"Go, Fennekin!" Serena cried out, and at the same moment, I wailed, "Go, Fletchling!"
"Go, Surskit and Vivillon!" the gym leader shouted, throwing two pokeballs onto the field. Out of one came a small pokemon that looked like a water bug. Out of the other came a large Flying type pokemon, with wings like that of a butterfly.
I immediately concocted a battle plan, "Fletchling, use Peck on Surskit!" I commanded.
Serena followed, mimicking my plan of attack. "Fennekin, use Ember on Vivillon!"
Fletchling launched into attack mode. He made multiple passes at the Surskit below him. Surskit dodged and let loose an Ice beam, which hit Fletchling in its left wing. Unable to fly, it plummeted to the grassy ground. As it fell, Fletchling used Peck and landed squarely on Surskit, KO-ing both of them.
Meanwhile, Fennekin was going toe-to-toe with Vivillon. The butterfly-like pokemon was using Gust on Fennekin, but on the third gust the fox used an Ember attack that slammed into the flying creature, the force of the impact sent Vivillon to the ground, knocked out.
"Vivillon and Surskit are unable to battle!" the referee declared. "The challengers win."
The gym leader walked over to us, pulling two copper-colored badges from her pocket. "Riveting!" she commented. "You got spunk."
Serena tried to keep a smug look plastered on her face, but it was obvious she was trying to hide her overjoyed expression.
"Congrats, you've won the Santalune Gym badge!" the blonde woman exclaimed, flashing blinding white teeth in a smile.
I examined the badge she handed me. The front was engraved to look like a bug head, complete with forest green jades as eyes.
Serena jumped up and down in excitement, "We got our first gym badge!" she squealed, elated.
I tucked my badge into my pants and smiled.
