Chapter 6: The Emerald Gym
Cam approached the doors of the Gym. With Flarkit and Feathi's pokeballs at the ready, he prepared to win his first badge.
"Hello?" Called Cam, opening the door. "Anybody home?"
A girl walked up to him. "Hello! If you want to battle, you have to beat us first!"
"Sure! You're on!"
Cam summoned Flarkit, while the girl, called Daisy, called upon a Leafdrake.
"Let's go!"
Flarkit used Inflame, while Leafdrake had a different tactic. It whirled about, using it's arms to spread it's Sweet Scent.
"You do realize, that Sweet Scent will just strengthen Flarkit's Inflame?"
"Oops."
Oops indeed! And while Daisy was stalled, Cam saw his chance, and ordered Flarkit to use Ember.
The attack hit Leafdrake straight on, and it fainted.
"No! My own move used against me! Fine. You have earned the chance to challenge our leader, Teresa." Said the girl.
"Great! Take me to her, then!"
The girl lead Cam through a long path through a lot of flowers and trees, until they came to Teresa, the gym leader of Emerald Town.
"Teresa? This boy would like to challenge you to a match."
"Hmm. I accept. Boy? Please, tell me your name, and let us begin."
"My name is Cam! Go, Flarkit!"
"A fire type? How simple. Go, Bayleef! Use Poisonpowder!"
"Counter with Inflame!"
The Poisonpowder hit the Inflame, and strengthened Flarkit. Then it continued on with Ember, hitting Bayleef. Then, while Bayleef was weakened by the blow, Flarkit sent another Ember to ensure victory.
"No! Go, Roselia!"
Roselia started by using Grasswhistle. Soon after Flarkit fell asleep and Inflame stopped working, it used Poisonpowder, then Ingrain and Leech Seed. When Flarkit awoke, it used Inflame to destroy the Leech Seed, and several Embers to defeat Roselia, who couldn't move due to Ingrain.
"Roselia, return! Go, Rosegon!"
The large creature that was Rosegon came out of a pokeball.
"What's that?" Said Cam, checking up his pokedex.
"Rosegon: the Dragon Flower Pokemon. Rosegon's large, flower-covered body allows it to launch several Solarbeams at once in different directions. It is a favourite among trainers, and is said to be an impressive Uber Pokemon, despite the fact it is only in its middle stage."
"What!?! An Uber Pokemon?! In a gym with this low rank?"
"Hey!"
"Still… Flarkit, return! Go, Caisei!"
Rosegon started with Sunny Day. Caisei used Bite on Rosegon's leg, but it dealt little damage. Rosegon tried to hit it with it's leg, and sent Caisei flying. Then, Rosegon, used Solarbeam on Caisei, and blasted it with it's mouth, it's main Solarbeam output, and several "Solar-flowers". Then it used Mega Kick on Caisei, and nearly knocked it out.
"No, Caisei! Trip it up with Vine Whip!"
Caisei did so, and nearly made Rosegon completely immobile. Except for it's Solarbeam, which hit Caisei right on.
"Caisei!"
"A 'low-ranked gym', huh?"
"Go, Feathi!"
Rosegon still wasn't up yet, so the Solarbeams didn't hit home, but Feathi still had a harsh time dodging them. However, when it got on Rosegon's body, the Solarbeams were unable to hit it, so Feathi had a field day using Wing Attack on Rosegon's face. After a fair few attacks, Rosegon fainted.
"No!"
"Yes!"
"Fine! You WON! BUT YOU CHEATED!"
"WHAT?! HOW?"
"YOU JUST DID!"
"Come on, Teresa, you lost. Admit it. Give the guy his badge and T.M."
"Fine… Here you are, kid. You have earned the Petal Badge and the T.M. Solarbeam."
"Thankyou." Said Cam, once he received the items and returned Feathi. "Goodbye!"
And with that, he left the gym, to heal his Pokemon at the Center.
