"This isn't over yet, Rex," Forrest informed him, "Rhyperior, go!"

"Careful, Torch" Rex cautioned his companion.

"Char," Torch nodded in understanding.

"Rock Blast!" Forrest shouted. Rhyperior began launching small boulder from its palms directly at Torch.

"Torch, deflect it with Metal Claw!" The lizard threw up its paws and its claws glowed and extended. The rocks made contact with the steely claws, but still sent Torch sliding back to the nearest wall.

"Now, Megahorn!" The giant rock covered beast dove head first at Torch, broke through its metal defense and slammed it into the wall creating a huge crater. When the dust cleared and Rhyperior had backed off the Charmeleon was still standing but only just. "Seismic Toss!" Rhyperior lunged and grabbed Torch by the tail. It spun the Charmeleon and threw it into the air. Torch hit the metal framing on the ceiling bending pipes and girders. The building seemed to hiss, but stayed intact. Torch recovered in midair.

"Torch, like before, but aim at Rhyperior and use Metal Claw, too!" Torch did as he was told. Flames erupted from him like never before, Torch's blaze ability was kicking in, and he dove towards Rhyperior and lashed at the rock monster with metal claws.

The dust cleared and both Pokémon were wavering. Rhyperior crumbled first to its massive knees then onto its chest. "Rhyperior is unable to battle, the winner is Charmeleon, the victor is Rex from Pallet.

Not moments after its opponent Torch fell to the ground, "Torch!" yelled to his friend. Torch sat up and gave a worn but conscious look, "Okay, good." And then the pipes feeding the sprinkler systemin the ceiling burst sending gallon after gallon of water down on the two Pokémon. When the pressure had evened out and the water stopped torch lay unconscious its tail flame almost fizzled out. Rhyperior was still conscious, but was not in very good condition either.

"Referee, call the Pokémon center tell them it's an emergency, we need help NOW!" Forrest yelled to the ref..

"What should I do? Call it back?" Rex asked the leader as Forrest and he ran to their injured Pokémon.

"No, just wait for the nurse. She'll know what's best," Forrest told him.

Not five minutes later there was a loud approaching roar of an engine that cut off when it reached the outside of the gym. Then three people rushed into the gym. The nurse who Rex had been leaving Eevee with (Eevee was in her arms then) Followed by a blue haired woman in a police uniform and then by what seemed to be an older version of Forrest . Forrest (the younger one) said in a bewildered tone, "Brock?"

The older Forrest, Brock, said, "Not now, let's help the Pokémon first. "

Several hours later after they had all convened at the Center Rex had team of fully healed Pokémon. He saw Brock coming out of the hospital part of the center and stopped him. "Excuse me, but who are you? And how did you know how to save my Charmeleon?"

"Haha, I guess if I were you I'd be confused too. I'm Brock, Forrest's brother. I was once the leader of the gym, but now I'm a Pokémon doctor so I left it to Forrest."

"Oh, so you're a trainer too then?" Rex asked him.

"No not anymore. All my Pokémon stay here with Forrest at the gym except for my Blissey."

"Well then why are you here in Pewter City then?" Rex continued the impromptu interview.

"You're quite the inquisitive little trainer. I'm here to visit Forrest he went back to the gym to oversee the repairs to the sprinkler system." He chuckled to himself, "Y'know it's funny some really similar happed to me in my last gym battle. Oh Ash."

"Wait, YOU knew Ash Ketchum too? I swear everywhere I go it's like a kid from my hometown won't ever get out of his shadow." Rex gawked.

"Oh well, what can you do. I've gotta get going. Nice meeting you though." Brock briskly left the center.

The next morning Rex decided it was time to move on and as he headed out of town about half a mile down the route he heard someone calling his name from behind. He spun on his heels to see Forrest running up the road at him, "Rex! Wait up!" He came to a stop and held out something shiny his hand, "Here, you almost forgot this," Rex looked and saw a small shiny octagon, " the Boulder Badge. You beat me and this is your reward. Collect all 8 and you can face the Elite four."

"Thank you, Forrest, it would have been a pain if I had forgotten it," Rex thanked him. Forrest turned to leave with a smile.

"Bye bye, doggie boy. Maybe we'll meet again some day," Forrest said as he walked home.

"Eevee, I have a feeling that we will."

Like I said before it has been forever and I'm happy to be writing again. Thank you all for reading, please review.

Rex: God it feels good to make some progress and get out of your head.

Me: Sorry, I was busy. I have a girlfriend now y'know.

Rex: Somehow I don't believe that.

Me: Why not?

Rex: Because you're sitting in your bedroom right now typing a Pokémon fan fiction about me.

Me: shut up.

Ok until next time this geek is out.
