Drex had sent out Mudkip and he's ready.

The referee yelled as he raised the flag. "Final Round! Mudkip vs. Nosepass! Battle Begin!"

Drex commanded. "Mudkip, give em' a fresh start with Water Gun!" Mudkip blasted a stream of water directed at Nosepass.

Roxanne countered. "Nosepass, Harden!" Nosepass hardened itself, raising its defense. When the Water Gun hits Nosepass, it did not flinch. It simply endured himself taking some damage while making its stand.

Drex said. "Mudkip, run over Nosepass and Mud-Slap!" Mudkip ran over towards Nosepass.

Roxanne called. "Nosepass, Rock Tomb!" Drex smirked and said. "Use it with brushing your feet on the ground!"

Mudkip's feet grinded the ground, throwing dust particles on Nosepass while making the attack causing it a litttle bit flinch but was stopped when Mudkip shoved a particle of the dust on it, lowering its accuracy.

Drex commanded. "Mudkip approach Nosepass and rocket yourself back here with a Water Gun!"

Roxanne said. "Nosepass, no!" Mudkip went to Nosepass and fired a Water Gun on point-blank range, dealing 2x damage due to type advantage and Mudkip is launched back to its place near Drex.

The splash cleared, leaving a weakened Nosepass.

Roxanne commanded hurriedly. "Nosepass, Rock Throw!" Nosepass lifted a rock and threw it towards Mudkip.

Drex said. "Mudkip, use Water Gun at little power and use Tackle and move forward!" Mudkip fired a stream of water on the rock, making it fragile. It then launched himself tackling the rock, scattering it towards Nosepass's side while Mudkip was running towards Nosepass. Chunks of rocks were hit by Nosepass, altough some of them missed their target.

Roxanne commanded. "Nosepass, Rock Tomb!"

Drex countered. "Mudkip, Water Gun! Point-Blank!" Mudkip stopped at the right distance and fired a quick Water Gun before Nosepass could react, sending it onto the wall although a very small indent was created. The dust cleared, showing Nosepass fainted.

The referee yelled. "Nosepass is unable to battle! The winner is Drex Akahoshi from Littleroot Town!" Drex was overjoyed, and he returned Mudkip from the ball. Few cheers were heard because they were amazed how Drex's Pokemon can utilize combos. Roxanne approached Drex presenting him a case with a badge on it.

Roxanne said. "Here is the Stone Badge. Proves that you had defeated me."

Drex thanked her and received the badge and kept it on his own case.

Meanwhile, Kayth came back and waved at Drex.

Kayth said. "Woah Drex! Did you win?!" He replied. "Yeah! I did!" She said in joy. "Congrats, Drex! Haha, by the way I caught a Tailow!" The windswept-haired trainer said. "That's great!"

Drex said. "I guess, that's that. We're going now. Bye!" Roxanne waved at Drex and Kayth as the duo walked with holding hands, although Drex was too dense to notice it and Kayth was busy looking at her pokeball. Everyone in the spectators area were thinking about them holding hands. 'I bet there was something on those two.' they thought one by one. The duo made their way outside the city.

Outside, there stood two men that wore the same outfit spying on the duo. They released their Pokemon and ordered them to attack. Drex noticed a Pokemon roar and decided to let out Mudkip and Ralts.

Drex said. "Mudkip, Mud-slap on the bush. When something comes out, Ralts use Psychic." Mudkip did what its owner said, throwing some dust into the bush making two Fire Pokemon jump, and Ralts used Psychic to hold them.

"Hmph, you two, why are you following us?" said Drex. The first one said. "That glove of yours... We will have to take it. By force! Slugma use Flamethrower!" Slugma shot a stream of fire but was stopped by Ralts due to Psychic.

Drex said. "Pfft. You ever forgot that your Pokemon were held by Psychic. Ralts, throw them to the ground." After Drex said that, Ralts tossed and re-carried the two Pokemon back and forth to the ground and air, and Mudkip roared and a white light engulfed its body. Kayth was surprised, she said. "Wait... Mudkip is evolving?!"

The second one said. "Torkoal, Smokescreen!" Torkoal let out some smoke, clouding Drex and Kayth's vision, also breaking the Pokemon free from Psychic. Both commanded. "Use Flamethrower, full power!" The two fired both Flamethrowers towards Drex but Ralts shielded with Psychic.

Suddenly, Mud Shots were fired in a meteor-style hitting the two Pokemon super effective, knocking both out. Marshtomp landed on the ground after shooting Mud Shot.

After the smoke cleared, there stood an unharmed Drex and Kayth with an exhausted Ralts. Drex said. "Marshtomp, Ralts, return." He returned both Pokemon to their pokeballs. The grunts returned theirs, too.

Drex said harshly. "If you're going to follow me still, this ball has to "deal" with you. Now scram!" The other two ran away in fear.

Sorry, so short! But I'll just have to escalate this journey a little bit! Alright the First Badge arc has been finished! Moving on to Team Moonlight arc 1! Which will be published tomorrow.
