[Author's Note:] Hello everyone! Since this is the first ongoing Pokemon fan fiction I've written, I would like as much feedback as possible about how the battle scenes are written. As you all can probably guess, I'm not going to write about every battle. I'm going to try to write then in accordance with how the readers see fit. Enjoy the description of the first battle, and happy Friday!


Sheila and Rampage both fell to their knees in exhaustion just outside of Viridian Forest. Pixel and Flambo both looked to the ground with expressions of humor.

"C'mon guys, Pewter City is just a hop and a skip away. We'll go to the Pokemon Center and get some rest before we challenge the gym.


Pixel and his Pokemon all sat at a table in the Pokemon Center after a well deserved rest. Each of Pixel's Pokemon was close to level 9. Rampage looked to Pixel nervously and began grunting softly in a low tone. "What's wrong, Rampage?"

"Hang on, let me help," Flambo said as he looked to Rampage. Rampage continued his grunting as Flambo nodded slowly. "Um…Rampage says that he knows that I'm a Fire type and Sheila is an Electric type, so he's gonna be the one fighting the gym. He's nervous that he might not do well."

Pixel moved closer to where Rampage was sitting and grabbed his hands. "You know what Rampage," Pixel said with confidence, "it's gonna be okay. I don't care if you lose; as long as you try your best, you'll always be a winner to me." Rampage looked up expectantly, then gained a look of determination and ran outside. Pixel was left with a look of disoriented shock as he watched his Pokemon run towards the gym.


"So, you wish to face me?"

The first gym leader, Brock, was a gentle but outgoing Rock type trainer. He glared at Pixel with confidence, and Pixel stared back with determination.

"Okay, let this official gym challenge begin! Go, Geodude!"

As Brock threw his pokeball, a flash of light jumped out and a boulder appeared out of the ball. The boulder then unraveled its two arms and opened its eyes and let out a cry.

"Okay Rampage, are you ready?" Pixel said to his Pokemon. The Mankey pounded the ground excitedly and jumped out onto the battlefield. "Rampage, use Leer!" Pixel shouted.

The Mankey glared at the Geodude malevolently. Geodude looked around nervously and waited for its trainer's command. "Geodude, use Tackle!"

Geodude charged at Rampage as Rampage tried to dodge, but failed. Rampage took some slight damage as he awaited his trainer's command. "Alright Rampage, use Low Kick!" Pixel shouted.

The Mankey charged at Geodude with his leg extended. A solid strike to the Geodude's face knocked it back and slammed it against the opposing wall. The Geodude fell to the ground unconscious.

"Hmm…that's impressive," Brock said as he recalled the Pokemon back to its pokeball. "But let's see how you handle this..." Brock clicked his pokeball and tossed it into the air, "Go, Onix!"

The pokeball cracked open and revealed an enormous rock snake. The Pokemon let a roar out as it loomed over Rampage. Rampage looked up in terror at the monstrosity.

"It's okay Rampage! Just hit it with a Low Kick!" Pixel shouted to Rampage. The Mankey got a renewed look of determination as he began charging at the Onix. Rampage hit the Onix straight on with his leg, and the behemoth stumbled and looked injured, but remained standing.

"Onix, use Wrap!" The Onix shot out and coiled around Rampage, and instantly constricted the Mankey. Rampage cried out in pain.

"Rampage, you almost have him! One more Low Kick oughta do it!" Pixel shouted. Rampage shot a look of rage at the Onix and kicked himself out of its bind. As the Mankey descended to the ground, he lunged back at Onix and kicked it square in the head. The Onix tumbled and swayed before finally falling to the ground in defeat. Brock returned his Pokemon to its pokeball.

"Wow. I'm impressed with you. That Mankey of yours is a force to be reckoned with," Brock said enthusiastically. Rampage looked up at Brock with flattered look. "I couldn't be happier to say that you've earned this Boulder Badge," Brock said as held out the gym badge to Pixel. Sheila and Flambo shouted with excitement as Pixel pinned the badge to his trainer card.


"Experiment 09 shows extreme promise. Within three days, he has already defeated the first gym leader. A resounding success, I am sure. However, I still need to be hesitant about the one trainer that defeated him in his first battle. I'm sure it's nothing."
