I slowly opened my eyes. The sun was shining in my room. I leaned up and put my back on the back of the beed. Squirtle was sleeping on the edge of my bed, Staryu was still on the couch, and I could see Bud's yellow fin sticking from the top of the bathtub. "Time to wake up everybody." I said out loud. "Squirtle." Squirtle said sleepily. Staryu just sat on the couch. I stepped out of bed and went to my bag. I pulled out their pokeballs. I first put Squirtle up, then I got Staryu's pokeball and put him up. Then I walked over to the bathroom. Bud looked excited to see me. "KARP!" He said loudly. I smiled. "Good to see you bud, ready to go?" I asked him. "KARP KARP!" He said. I then put him back into the pokeball. Then I walked over to the window and changed into my cloths. Then I put everything in my bag and stepped out.
"I SAID NOW!" I heard someone yell. What was that? I thought to myself. But then I heard a familiar voice. "This isn't right, put it back!" Annie said. I then ran down the hall to see something weird. The entire room was trashed, tables flipped and Nurse Joy's belongs from her desk. And Annie was in front of it, but in front of her were three guys, wearing black outfits with a red R on the front of them. "Either you're coming with us, or were blowing this place to the ground!" One of them said. I then ran into the hallway, I had an idea, but I didn't have much time. I got Staryu's pokeball. I then let him out. "Hya!" He said. "Okay Staryu, listen carefully, I need you to use rapid spin on one of those guys, then hit another with water gun, okay?" I told him. Staryu stepped to the side to see the lobby. He then stepped in front of me. "Hya!" He said. He then ran to end of the hallway, then ran back and jumped and started to spin, he hit the wall opposite to that of the door and ricocheted off of it and with full force bounced to one of the "R" men. The man went to the ground. That's when I ran out. I looked at staru while running and he hit one of the guys with water gun, who went back to a wall. Then I punched the other guy in the face. He went to the ground. "Where did you come from?" The guy said after I punched him. But then he jumped up and tried to punch me. But I moved and elbowed the back of his head, but before he could reach the ground Annie sidekicked him in the face. He then went to the ground holding his nose. "You know what, screw this, wer out of here, let's go guys!" He yelled as he got up and started to run out the door. The other two got and ran for it. "Hya!" Staryu said triumphantly. "Good job Staryu, but return." I said as I put him back in his pokeball. I then look behind me and see Annie looking shocked. I then ran up to her. "Oh my god, are you okay?" I asked her. She then looked up at me, but the look in her eyes was unsettling, I didn't know why though. "Look, thanks but I need to go, I promise the next time we meet I'll answer your questions, but I need to leave now, bye." She said as she ran out the door, leaving me shocked and confused.
"Are they gone?" I heard a small and scared voice say. I turned and saw Nurse Joy slowly raise her head. "Oh yes ma'am, I scared them away." I told her. She stood up relieved. "Oh thank god, thank you so much, but could I trouble you for one more favor?" She asked me, she looked a little nervous. "Sure, what do you need?" I asked her. "Well, when they came in here they flipped over a bunch of chairs and stuff, could you help me set it all up?" She asked me. "Sure!" I said. It was easier said then done, I was lifting chairs and sofas for an hour, but after an hour it finally looked like it was before. "And they we are, your new and improved pokemon center." i said with sweat dripping down my forehead. She clapped her hands together. "Oh that's just excellent, and I think have something that is worth all your troubles." She said getting something from under her desk. She then came up with a bag of what looked like some sort of potion. "This is a health item for your pokemon, it will heal them during battle, here are 9 of them, use them wisely and have a great day!" Nurse Joy said with a smile. "Oh, thank you very much, these will come in handy, but have a great day and I'll see you later." I said as I walked out.
I stepped outside and the hot sun hit me right in the face. It was hot, but that didn't stop me, I had one mission, to beat the gym leader of Pewter city. I looked around and saw a big building with a brown roof, that had to be it. I then started to walk towards it. I walked to the doors and they slid open automatically. But I didn't accept it to be so big. It looked like a giant basketball stadium, but if you took everything out of it, instead there was a pokemon stadium and rocks and boulders lining the field. "Whoa." I told myself silently. But then a door opened at the end of the room, and someone stepped out. "Hello?" I asked out loud. Then the man walked up to where I could see him. "Good to see you again friend." He said. Wait,he looked familiar. It was the guy from the beach that scared away Oluo. "It's you, you're the gym leader!?" I asked him. He smiled. "Why yes I am, and have you come to challenge me?" He asked me. I was still amazed that this tall dude was the gym leader, but I knew I had to beat him. "I am." I said sternly. He smiled. "Then let's begin." He said. He then walked to the far end of the room. He then turned towards me. "By the way Eren, my name is Mike, and if you beat me you get the boulder badge." he said. "Then give it to me now, cause there's no way you'll beat me!" I yelled at him. Then he got to pokeballs from his belt. "I'll use these pokemon, let's begin,I choose you, Geodude!" Mike yelled as he threw a pokeball in the air. Then Geodude popped out, he was a floating head with big arms on the side. "Geodude!" It screamed. "Okay, go Staryu!" I yelled as I threw Staryu's pokeball in the air. Staryu then landed on the ground. "Hya!" he said. "A water type, maybe you are smart." Mike said. "Staryu, use water gun!" I yelled at Staryu. Staryu then backed up and a jet of water shot from him and it hit Geodude. Geodude looked like he got sat on by a snorlax. "It's super effective effective!" I yelled. "Hya!" Staryu said proudly. "EARTHQUAKE!" Mike yelled. Geodude then went in the air, and went slamming on the ground and slammed his fist into the ground causing Staryu to rapidly fall. "Now tackle!" Mike yelled. Geodude then hit Staryu with his shoulder, and Staryu went to the ground. "Staryu, come back, go Squirtle!" I screamed as I out Staryu back in his pokeball, then I threw Squirtles ball. "Squirtle!"He yelled. "Use water gun, now!" I yelled at him. Squirtle then used water gun and when it hit Geodude he went flying back. "Yeah, we got him!" I yelled. "Squirtle!" Squirtle yelled back. "Geodude, return." Mike said calmly. How can he be so calm, I'm halfway to beating him? I thought to myself. He then smiled. "Go, Rhyhorn!" He yelled as he threw a ball in the air. Then Rhyhorn landed on the ground. It was huge, like five feet tall on all fours and looked menacing. "Squirtle, use water gun!" I yelled at Squirtle. Squirtle quickly used water gun, and it was effective, but not enough. "Rhyhorn, quickly use bulldoze!" Mike screamed. Rhyhorn then ran up to Squirtle with a stupid amount of strength, it hit Squirtle with his shoulder blade and Squirtle went flying back. He hit the far wall, and he looked bruised badly. "Use water gun now!" I screamed at him. Squirtle then shot back up and blasted Rhyhorn. Rhyhorn then went back, he looked almost defeated, but was still up. "TACKLE!" Mike screamed. Then Rhyhorn started running at Squirtle, but Squirtle was to weak to move, so he got hit by Rhyhorn and fell to the ground. He was done. "Squirtle, come back!" I yelled. I then put Squirtle back in his pokeball. I then reached for y belt and pulled out Bud's pokeball. Come on Bud. I told myself. "I CHOOSE YOU, BUD!" I screamed as I threw his pokeball in the then emerged and fell to the ground, flopping around. "KARP KARP!" He screamed. Mike looked disappointed. "Look pal, Magikarps aren't meant for fighting, sorry to break it to you, but you lost." Mike said like he was sad. "That might be my best pokemon, nothing's over until your pokemon are down!" I screamed at him. "KARP!" Bud yelled at Mike. But Mike just shook his head. "Fine, use horn rush." Mike said. Rhyhorn then got in a running position, this was clearly his best move. He then started to run, and to be honest, I knew I was gonna lose, but I was acting confident.
But right as Magikarp was going to be hit, he flopped and landed right in front of Rhyhorn, and Rhyhorn stepped on him. And then the most unbelievable happened. Rhyhorn slipped and went horn first into a wall, causing it to crumble down, so we now had a nice view of the streets outside and a lot of confused people. There was so much ruble I couldn't see Rhyhorn, but once some dust cleared I saw him, not moving, he was beat. But then I heard the most satisfying noise of all time. "KARP KARP!" Bud yelled. He survived, which meant. "WE DID IT BUD!" I said as I ran to Bud. I picked him up and swung him around. "KARP!" He said, kinda happy. I then pulled out his pokeball. "Good job, but lets get you healed." I told him. I then looked over at Mike, who looked like he saw a ghost. I then thought about how mad he might be. "I'm sorry, this is my bad." I told hi. But he put his hand up. "Don't be, that was one of the greatest matches I've ever seen, now here's your badge." he said handing me a badge. It was in the shape of an octagon, and was a silver color. I took it from him and my eyes went wide. "So i won?" I asked him. "Yeah you did." he said still looking at the broken wall. "Thank you, have a good day." I told him as I walked off, I was so excited, I could barely hold it in.
