At the opposite end of petalburg woods from where they started Narrisa and her team are now back on track on reaching rustbuto city where their first official gym badge lays in wait. As Narrisa and her team walk their way to rustburo they slowed down a bit to admire the beautiful clear blue lake that separates them from the city.
"Wow this lake looks so clear I can practically see the bottom of it" Narrisa says as she trails along its edge. "Hmm I wonder how we can get past it though?" Narrisa says as she thinks for a moment.
As Narrisa said this Emilia who was soaring right above them swooped down and gently landed on Narrisa's right shoulder. "Up ahead I saw theirs a bridge that we can use to get to the other side" Emilia said pointing towards where the bridge is.
"Thanks Emilia you've done a good job" Narrisa said praising Emilia.
"But be careful though their are two trainers their challenging people who cross to battles I just saw them beat someone who wanted to cross from rustburo" Emilia said warning Narrisa of what's up ahead.
"Don't worry about them too much" Bandit said to Emilia who was walking behind Narrisa. "And besides even if they challenge us I would beat them easily" Bandit added with a confident look on his face.
"Last I checked I had to come in and rescue your sorry butt from the last battle" Emilia said with a smirk.
"Hey he just caught me off guard" Bandit said defending himself.
"Okay you two that's enough" Narrisa said calming both of them down before an argument starts. "Lets just be cautious okay if we end up having to battle them" Narrisa says as they near the bridge.
As Narrisa and her team got on the bridge they started heading towards the direction the bridge went. As they reached half way on the bridge right onto a spacious platform they were met with two trainers with pretty much matching outfits which conceals their faces and features.
"Halt!" said the trainer on Narrisa's right.
"This bridge here belongs to us and if you want to cross you would have to beat us" said the other trainer on her left.
"Listen we don't need to battle here" Narrisa says as she raises her two hands right in front on her. "We just need to cross for my poochyena here to get properly treated" Narrisa says as she points towards Velouria beside her. "So may we pass please?" Narrisa says now asking both of the trainers.
The two trainers now looking carefully at Narrisa soon looked at each other before the one on the right whispers something to the other which he nodded in agreement. "Yeah we're not letting you pass" said the trainer on the left.
"Especially for such a good looking girl as yourself we simply would not want to miss out on an opportunity like this" says the one on the right while staring straight at Narrisa. As he finished his sentence both trainers brought out their pokeballs and tossed them in the air letting out the Pokémon inside them.
"Go lombre" said the trainer on the left.
"You to nuzleaf" said the one on the right.
"This isn't good" Velouria said now backing off a bit.
"I guess we don't have any other choice then to fight them" Bandit said now ready for battle.
"Send me in Narrisa they're both grass types and I can handle them" Emilia said with confidence. "And send in Vivian she would be useful here as well" Emilia added.
"Okay then" said Narrisa. "Go get them Emilia and you too Vivian" Narrisa says as she tosses Vivian's pokeball in the air letting her out.
"Ha this might be easier then I thought" said the trainer on the left.
"Watch your mouth kid before I start sending you packing" said Vivian ready for battle.
As the 4 Pokémon stood ready on the bridge platform awaiting for their orders the tension soon breaks when the trainer on the right said their commands. "Nuzleaf use pound on that silcoon" the trainer on the right commanded.
"Follow it up with astonish lombre" said the one on the left.
The two opposing Pokémon rushed forward towards Vivian about to land their attacks when Narrisa called out her commands. "Vivian quickly use harden" Narrisa said commanding Vivian. Vivian soon was covered in sparkling lights tensing up her body and was able too withstand the consecutive attacks sending the two back.
"Now follow it up with poison sting Vivian" Narrisa commanded. Vivian's body now protruding with spikes soon sent them flying towards the two Pokémon.
"Quickly dodge'em" the trainer on the left commanded for both the Pokémon. The lombre and nuzleaf were able to move out of the way but the lombre got stung by one of the pins and was now poisoning him. The lombre now feeling the pain was brought down to its right knee with a pained expression on its face.
"Now while its open use wing attack Emilia" Narrisa commanded. Emilia receiving her commanded soon flew low and was charging towards the lombre who couldn't dodge out of the way.
"Oh no you don't" said the trainer on the right. "Nuzleaf block the attack with bide" the trainer commanded. The nuzleaf soon jumped in front of Emilia's path and was glowing in a white light before taking the hit and glow once more, Emilia seeing this decided to fly up once more. "Now release that energy and aim towards that silcoon on the ground" said its trainer.
The nuzleaf now glowing with a white light soon released all that energy hitting Vivian and sending her flying towards the water. "VIVIAN NOOO!" Narrisa cried out.
"Ha give up kid before anymore of your weak Pokémon get hurt...or worse hahaha" the trainer on the right said while laughing. "Now be a good little girl and come with us hehe" he said now staring intently at Narrisa.
"Yeah we promise to take good care of you hehehe" The one on the left added with a devious laugh. Narrisa now feeling nervous was thinking on what she should do now.
"Narrisa c'mon we can still do this just send me in" Bandit said now about to jump in.
"But-" Narrisa said before being cut off by something rumbling in the water. Narrisa now looking to where the rumbling was coming from out came a glowing light shown through the water and Vivian erupted out who evolved once more.
"Vivian you're alive!" Narrisa said surprised to see Vivian out of the water and fluttering right beside her.
"Of course! I won't let such an ugly death take someone as majestic as I" Vivian said speaking highly of herself once more. "Now its time to send these buffoons back to whatever alleyway they came from" Vivian said mocking the two trainers
"Tsk you still won't be able to beat us!" The one on the right yelled out. "Grr use pound nuzleaf!" the trainer commanded. The nuzleaf soon jumped up in the air about to hit Vivian.
"Please such a tasteless move" Vivian said before stopping the attack with her string shot wrapping his body completely. "Now let me show you a real attack from a beauty such as I" Vivian said before lifting up the helpless nuzleaf on the ground and sent it flying with her gust attack.
The nuzleaf hitting the water was now struggling to get his head up the water but wasn't able to due to his body being tied up and soon sunk to the bottom drowning before it laid limp on the bottom.
"Nooo!" The trainer on the right yelled.
"You'll pay for this" the one on the left said. "Lombre get up and use astonish" the trainer the commanded. The lombre struggling to get on its feet due to the poison was able to get up but only to stumble down once more.
"You know I'm starting to feel a bit famished after that last attack maybe this poor excuse of a Pokémon might help me out with that" Vivian said before swooping down on the lombre. Vivian now extending her straw like mouth soon wrapped it around the lombre's neck and began draining the lombre shown by the green light aura that was surrounding the lombre's body flowing towards Vivian. "Ah much better now Emilia be a doll and finish him off for me" Vivian said after letting the lombre go and letting it lay limp on the grown breathing heavy.
"Umm ye-yes ma'am" Emilia said a bit terrified at Vivian. Emilia soon swooped down and slammed the lombre with her wing attack causing it to scream out in pain before laying dead on the ground.
"Now you two" Vivian said now fluttering behind the two trainers. "Now I want you two to get out of here and never show your face again...or else hehe" Vivian said in a whisper like tone with a devious look on her face. The two trainers with terrified looks on their face soon ran off towards rustburo never to be seen again. "Well now that's over, Narrisa I would like to be in my ball now for this whole encounter got me tired" Vivian said while slowly making her way to Narrisa.
"Umm...sure" Narrisa said unsurely as she called back Vivian to her pokeball. "Wow that personality shift was something" Narrisa said as she stares at Vivian's pokeball with a confused look on her face.
"Yeah I never knew she had that much aggression inside her" says Bandit also shocked from what he just saw.
"Well its a good thing she's with us and not with anybody else hehe..." Emilia said while still terrified b6 Vivian.
"Okay with all this over let's all start heading for rustburo" said Narrisa who was about to start walking.
"But what are we going to do with this?" Velouria says while closely examining the dead lombre's body.
"Oh yeah you're right the trainers usually pick up their dead Pokémon to get buried or something" Narrisa says now also looking at the Lombre.
"Well I guess theirs only one thing left to do then" Velouria says as she slowly pushes the corpse over the bridge. "Just a few more and their...whew that was tiring" Velouria says as the lombre's body slowly start sinking to the bottom.
"Umm why did you do that for?" Bandit asked with his head tilted a bit to the side.
"Well theirs no other choice since going back to the forest would set us back and we can't just bring a corpse with us to the city" Velouria says responding to Bandits question. "And besides it's only fitting for the lombre to be with his friend down their" Velouria says while gesturing for the nuzleaf.
"Well that makes sense I guess" Bandit replied still a bit confused.
"Okay since now that's done let's all start heading for rustburo now for we have a long challenge ahead of us" said Narrisa now motioning them to move on.
"Yeah let's go my wings are aching to be at the Pokémon center from all this flying" Emilia says while landing on Narrisa's right shoulder. "You don't mind me just sitting here for awhile?" Emilia asked.
"Not at all lets go" Narrisa says as they start heading towards rustburo city.
Narrisa and her Pokémon now at the outskirts of the city saw how tall and huge the building overlooking them. Them now entering the city decided to head for the Pokémon center first in order to prepare for their next challenge; the rustburo gym battle. Narrisa now nearing the Pokémon center decided to call back her Pokémon except Velouria who doesn't have a ball yet. Narrisa now entering the Pokémon center with Velouria was greeted by the nurse inside which oddly enough looks a lot like the nurses from the other 2 Pokémon centers.
"Good afternoon miss, how may I help you?" said the nurse to Narrisa.
"Uhh yeah can you heal my Pokémon here" Narrisa says with a confused look on her face. "Tell me you don't happen to be related to the nurses in petalburg and oldale by any chance? Narrisa asked still looking at the Nurse carefully.
"Oh that, yes I do happen to be related to them" the nurse said to Narrisa. The nurse figuring that Narrisa would be acting the same way to every nurse in every Pokémon center decided to let Narrisa in on a little something. "Fine to clear up any confusion for you in the future all of the nurses in all of the Pokémon centers all look like me" reassuring Narrisa.
"But why though?" Narrisa asking now with a curious look on her face.
"Oh that's a little secret that I won't tell" the nurse said while waving her hands in front of her. "For now let me heal you're Pokémon for you" the nurse says as she places down the same tray for pokeballs.
"Okay then" Narrisa says still trying to process everything the nurse has said. Narrisa now placing the pokeballs into the holder lifted up Velouria and placed her on the counter. "This poochyena here doesn't have a ball yet since I found her in critical condition" Narrisa says as she motions for the makeshift bandage wrapped around Velouria.
"Okay I see I'll have her treated right away" the nurse says as she takes the tray and places them on the machine beside her. "And as for you, I will be taking care of you in the room at the back" the nurse says as she opens the door behind her. "Right in here please" the nurse says as she places Velouria behind the counter motioning her to go in. "So is their anything else I can help in?" said the nurse now facing Narrisa.
"Nope that is all" Narrisa replied back.
"Okay then I'll call you once your Pokémon are all healed up, you may wait in the waiting area over their if you want" the nurse says as she points towards the waiting area to their right.
"Okay thank you" Narrisa says as she turns towards the waiting area. As she was about to head towards the waiting area an idea suddenly popped in her mind. "Wait their is something else you can do for me" Narrisa says as she calls back the nurse.
"What is it then?" the nurse asked facing Narrisa once more.
"Well you can tell me somethings about the gym leader and on what type of Pokémon they use?" said Narrisa to the nurse.
"I'm sorry but I'm not allowed to disclose information regarding the Pokémon gym leaders use in official gym challenges" the nurse says as she shakes her head. "Its official league rules set by the league officials" explained the nurse.
"Oh okay..." Narrisa said a bit disappointed.
"But what I can tell you is that the gym leader here graduated from a prestigious trainer school and was referred to as being a prodigy as a trainer that's why they became the gym leader here" the nurse said trying to reassure Narrisa. "So does that help?" asked the nurse.
"Yeah it does, thanks a lot" Narrisa said thanking the nurse. "Okay that's all thank you" Narrisa said giving the nurse a slight bow.
"You're welcome, I'll call you once your Pokémon are all healed up" the nurse said once more before returning to her work.
Narrisa now done questioning the nurse started heading towards the waiting area and grabbed a seat at the far end. During her wait Narrisa was looking through all the magazines that were laid down on the magazine rack beside her. While flipping through the various magazines she soon saw interest in the one right underneath the pile. Narrisa grabbing the magazine read through the articles written on the front page.
"Top 10 Pokémon...latest Pokémon trends...champion of the month and...oh!" Narrisa said surprised to see the article at the end. "Interview with the fan voted gym leader of the month: Roxanne of rustburo gym" Narrisa thought to herself. "This might prove useful for the upcoming battle" she thought to herself once more. Narrisa reading through the entire section of the interview wasn't able to pick up much about her Pokémon aside for Roxanne's ace in tournaments she participates in and what strategy she uses mostly.
As time went on with Narrisa reading the rest of the magazine the nurse soon called for her. "Miss Narrisa your Pokémon are fully healed and ready to be picked up" the nurse said from across the room. Narrisa hearing the call soon got up and went towards the counter.
"Hi, thanks for waiting here's your Pokémon" the nurse says as she places down the tray with her pokeballs. "And as for your poochyena she's doing just fine their was nothing left for me to do besides apply some better medicine and change her bandage" the nurse says as she picks up Velouria from below the counter and gives her to Narrisa. "You know I was surprised to see how well you treated her you could become a good nurse someday" said the nurse to Narrisa.
"Oh I don't know about that I just treated her the same way my mom treats me whenever I get injured when I was young" Narrisa said shyly to the nurse.
"Well either way she's still lucky to have met you" said the nurse.
"Okay thanks" Narrisa says as she places Velouria down on the floor and picked up her pokeballs. "Thanks again for healing them" Narrisa said with a slight bow. "We'll be going now so bye" Narrisa says as she heads for the door.
"Come back anytime" the nurse said waving her off.
Narrisa now outside the Pokémon center starting heading towards the Pokémon mart. "So Narrisa why are we going to the store for?" Velouria asked while walking beside Narrisa.
"Well we'll be buying some supplies we need for when we take on the gym challenge" Narrisa replied.
"So did you manage to learn anything about the gym leader though?" Velouria asked once again.
"Not much all I know about the gym leader is that her ace for tournaments is her probopass and develops a strategy around defenses but she mostly does all that in tournaments if anything she might use the same style for gym battles" Narrisa said everything she learned. "Anyways we're here now so want to wait outside or come in?" Narrisa asked now outside the Pokémon mart.
"I'll go in with you I want to choose my own pokeball anyways" Velouria said now on the foot of the marts door steps. "Well c'mon lets go in" Velouria added. Narrisa now opening door soon let in Velouria first before going in herself.
After sometime passes with Narrisa and Velouria shopping for supplies they soon got out with a full paper bag in Narrisa's arms. "Thanks for shopping at the pokemart" said the store clerk before the door closed.
"You sure did bought a lot of stuff, you sure we need all that?" Velouria asked looking up at the paper bag.
"Well you could never be too prepared" Narrisa now looking through all the stuff they bought. Narrisa carrying all her stuff decided to sit by the bench right in front of the park that was across from them. Narrisa now sitting by the parks bench placed here stuff right beside her. "All of these sure are heavy to carry let me put them all first in my bag" said Narrisa as she grabs the various items and placed them all in her bag.
As Narrisa was finishing in keeping her stuff a familiar face soon entered the city and started calling out to her. "Hey Narrisa over here!" the person called out from across the park. Narrisa looking up soon recognized who the voice came from.
"Brendan? Is that you over their?" Narrisa called out in response.
"Yeah it's me" Brendan replied.
"Okay wait over their" Narrisa said now about to get up.
"No no don't get up I'll come over their instead" Brendan said now jogging towards Narrisa. Narrisa seeing him coming over instead decided to sit back down.
Brendan now in front of Narrisa decided to speak up first. "So I see you made it rustburo city and even managed to catch a new Pokémon along the way" Brendan said now seeing Velouria beside her. "So did you take on the gym challenge yet?" Brendan now asking Narrisa.
"Not yet we were just preparing the things we need for the challenge" Narrisa responded. "So what about you? What brings you here to rustburo?" Narrisa now the one asking.
"Well like I said the last time we met I'm here to meet the cut master here, want to come with me? He might even teach it to both of us" Brendan said to Narrisa.
"Maybe later I rather prefer to take on the gym first" Narrisa said now about to get up. "Want to watch?" Narrisa again asked.
"Sure why not I have nothing left to do here in rustburo once I get cut" Brendan said taking her offer.
"Okay then let's go" Narrisa says as she starts walking to where the gym is.
Narrisa now heading her way towards the rustburo city gym accompanied by Brandon and Velouria was ready to take on its challenge. Narrisa now at the gyms door steps with Brandon and Velouria behind her paused for moment when nervousness was filling up Narrisa. Narrisa taking a deep breath to calm herself down soon pushed the double doors open and entered the gym followed by Brandon and Velouria after.
Inside the gym they soon marveled at the fact that the gyms layout was designed to look like an excavation site with fossil like designs carved into the wall. Inside the gym they were also greeted by a girl dressed in a female school uniform with her hair tied into long pigtails.
"Welcome to the rustburo city gym, my names Roxanne and I'm the gym leader here. How may I help you?" Roxanne asked the three of them.
Narrisa taking in a huge gulp soon spoke up. "My names Narrisa and I'm here to challenge the rustburo city gym" Narrisa said with slight confidence.
"I see, may I ask how many badges you currently have?" Roxanne asked once more.
"None so far. This is my first gym challenge" Narrisa responded.
"Okay then I will be waiting for you at the back. Just stay here and I'll let you be notified once preparations are done okay" said Roxanne as she headed down the stairs behind her.
As Roxanne soon disappeared from view all three of them are waiting anxiously for their call. "So are you ready Narrisa?" Brandon asked seeing Narrisa's nervous face
"Yeah I'm ready just feeling a bit nervous that's all" Narrisa says looking down the staircase to see a maze like pattern below. As a few minutes pass a voice was heard through the gyms PA system.
"Attention, Miss Narrisa your gym challenge is ready please head downstairs for the challenge to begin" the PA system announced before turning off.
"Well that's my call, you guys watch by the stands over their" Narrisa said pointing towards the stands. "Well I'll be going now so see you guys in a bit" said Narrisa heading down the stairs.
Narrisa now at the end of the staircase soon saw two paths in front of her. One path leading straight to the end where a platform lies but filled with trainers the other a maze with no trainers to be seen. Narrisa thinking it would be better to take the shorter path and face off against the trainers their.
Narrisa taking the straight path towards the end didn't take long before the first of three gym trainers soon stopped her. "Halt challenger this is as far as you can go! You will have to beat me in order to continue" said a boy wearing a yellow shirt and blue jean shorts. Narrisa hearing his words soon nodded to accept his challenge and reached for one of her pokeballs. "Good whenever you are ready bring out your Pokémon" said the boy before tossing his into the air letting out a Geodude.
Narrisa seeing the Geodude right in front of her decided to reach for Marshal's pokeball and soon sent him out. Marshal now out of his ball and facing the Geodude inside a huge building such as this gym soon asked why they were here. "Umm Narrisa where are we?" Marshal asked still facing ghe geodude
"We're in the rustburo city gym and this is out first challenge" Narrisa answered back.
Marshal now understanding the situation readied himself for the battle at hand. The Pokémon in complete standstil awaiting for the trainers command with tension filling the air. After a second of complete zilence the tension was soon broken when the boy started with his command. "Geodude use Tackle!" the boy commanded.
The Geodude with both arms folded on his side soon charged towards Marshal. Narrisa quick to react called out her own command. "Marshal stop him in his tracks with Mud-slap" Narrisa commanded. Marshal preparing to attack waiting for his opportunity and when the Geodude got close Marshal let out his Mud-slap hitting the Geodude on the face and barely colliding with Marshal.
The Geodude stopping for a second trying to shake off all the mud in his face was open for another attack. Narrisa seeing her opportunity quickly called for another attack. "Now Marshal! Use Water gun!" Narrisa quickly called out.
Marshal hearing his next command soon ran up towards the blinded Geodude and let out his Water gun at point blank range sending the Geodude blasting towards the rocky wall beside them and ending with a few broken pieces of debris falling on top of the Geodude kicking up some dust along with it. As the dust cloud subsided all that was left was a pile of stone and debris with one of the Geodudes arm sticking out in the bottom unmoving. After a few seconds has passed with the two trainers and Marshal looking at the pile the match has been concluded the Geodude was dead.
The bot surprised to see he has lost soon let out a deep breath and stepped aside for Narrisa to pass. "Congratulations trainer, you have beaten me you may pass" the boy said with one arm sticking out leading straight ahead. Narrisa giving a slight nod walked forward with Marshal trailing just behind her. As she and Marshal passed the boy they soon kept on going nearing the end of the path. Velouria and Brendan watching from the stands just cheered her on.
As soon as Narrisa reached the end two trainers suddenly blocked her path. A guy wearing a green collared shirt with a brown vest and cargo pants the other a young girl wearing a green girl scout outfit with a matching hat and knee high socks.
"So you managed to beat your first challenge" said the man.
"Well we will be your last challenge before you face of against the gym leader" the girl added. "You may take us on one at a time or both at the same time" the girl explained.
Narrisa thinking carefully asked Marshal for his opinion. "So what do you prefer take them on one at a time or both at the same time" Narrisa asked Marshal.
"I say we take them both on so that we can get to battle the gym leader much quicker" Marshal responded while looking at both trainers.
"Okay then" Narrisa replied to Marshal. "We will be taking you both on" Narrisa said now facing both trainers.
"Okay then, go Machop" the man said tossing his ball into the air letting out the Machop.
"You to Geodude" said the girl letting out her Pokémon.
Narrisa now seeing the two Pokémon each trainer had decided to send in Marshal while grabbing on to another pokeball in her hand. "Go Emilia" Narrisa said as she let out Emilia from her ball. Emilia flying around the room as she got out landed right beside Marshal ready for battle.
Marshal and Emilia facing the opposing Pokémon waiting hesitantly for Narrisa's command. "Quickly use Wing attack on that Machop Emilia and use Water gun on the Geodude Marshal" Narrisa commanding both of her Pokémon.
Emilia and Marshal receiving their commands soon sprang into action. Emilia diving in on the Machop and Marshal blasting his Water gun on the Geodude both attacks about to hit their targets. As the two opposing Pokémon were about to get hit by the attacks their trainers soon acted fast.
"Geodude quickly get in front of Machop!" the girl commanded and as if on queue the Geodude was able to take Emilia's Wing attack which he barely felt.
"Now cut through that Water gun with Karate chop Machop!" the man commanded for his Pokémon. The Machop now jumping from behind the Geodude was able to stop the attack but had to grab on to its right arm afterwards for the waters force was enough to make him sore. "You okay Machop?" the man asked with the Machop responding with a nod before shaking off the pain.
"Well its our turn then" the girl said with a grin. "Geodude use Sand attack!" the girl commanded. The Geodude soon pounded on ground sending a torrent of sand and dirt towards Emilia and Marshal.
Emilia and Marshal getting hit by the attack started to cough heavily and both got teary eyed due to all the dust leaving them open. "Now Machop use karate chop!" the man ordered and soon the Machop used his good arm and chopped down on Marshal making him stagger backwards.
"Marshal nooo!" Velouria yelled from the stands.
"Oww...urg...shit!" Marshal exclaimed as he struggles to get up. Narrisa shocked to see how painful the attack was ran up beside him.
"Marshal are you okay" Narrisa said as she gently rubs the top of Marshal's head. "Want me to pull out? We can always continue the challenge the next day" Narrisa said to Marshal with a worried look on her face.
Marshal not wanting to disappoint Narrisa just shook his head in disagreement. "No I can still fight on" Marshal said he struggles to get up with a pained expression in his face. "Don't worry about me I'll be just fine" Marshal said with a forced smile. Narrisa seeing how pained he is resented against this at first but soon got over it when she saw how determined Marshal is.
"Okay then but be careful I don't want to risk loosing you or any one of this matter" Narrisa said to Marshal before she got up back into place behind them.
"So are you ready to continue?" the girl yelled across from them.
"Yeah thanks for waiting" Narrisa called back. "Okay then it seems its my turn now" said Narrisa as she examines the two opposing Pokémon carefully. After examining them for a few seconds she soon noticed the Machop gritting his teeth a bit with his right arm lowered. Seeing this Narrisa now knows what to do. "Emilia use Water gun on the Machop you to Marshal" Narrisa said as she points towards the Machop.
Emilia and Marshal nodded at their commands and soon blasted water towards the Machop. "Machop quickly block it!" the man yelled. The Machop soon raised him arms in front of him taking both attacks. The Machop was able to withstand the hits but soon his right arm gave out and he was sent flying back crashing into a wall. After the attack has ended the Machop was struggling to get up from the pain coursing through his body.
"End it with Wing attack Emilia" Narrisa commanded for Emilia. Emilia soon dived down once more and charged towards the downed Machop.
"I won't let you" said the girl. "Geodude intercept with tackle!" the girl commanded and soon the Geodude charged towards Emilia. Narrisa seeing this gave a slight grin to herself.
"I knew you would try to protect him" Narrisa said in a matter of fact way. "And that's what I was hoping for. Marshal Water gun now!" Narrisa commanded. As soon as she called out the command Marshal soon jumped up from behind Emilia and launched his Water gun attack sending the Geodude crashing onto the Machop crushing it under the pressure. As soon as the two Pokémon are slumped on the ground Emilia crashed down on the two of them kicking up her own cloud of smoke. As the dust cloud persists Emilia soon flew out and landed right beside Marshal. As the dust cloud slowly fades they finally saw the result of the battle.
The Machop and Geodude laid limp on the floor with some blood dripping from behind the Geodude. "Well it seems you've beaten us" the girl said weakly while kicking a small stone on the ground. "Well like I said beat us and you may pass" the girl said and soon after the man and her stepped aside letting Narrisa pass.
"Okay here we go, the last part of our challenge" Narrisa said softly to both Emilia and Marshal. "But before we go let me heal you guys up" Narrisa said as she placed down her bag and reaching for her potions. "Here these might help get your energy up" Narrisa said as she applies some of the potions on Marshal and Emilia. "Okay let's go" Narrisa said as she walks straight through the path and was met with another staircase at the end. "Well here we go" Narrisa says as she climbs up the stairs.
At the stands Velouria and Brendan were watching her as she ascends the stairs to face the final challenge to obtain the rustburo city gym badge. With each step Narrisa takes her heart was racing wildly and a bead of sweat was rolling down the side of her face. As she reached the top a spot light soon shined down blinding her for a second and as her vision adjusts to the lighting her final opponent is now right in front of her.
"Welcome Narrisa glad you can make it to the end" Roxanne greeted. "Well then lets get this battle started shall we?". End of chapter 6
Authors note: yeah I had to end it off at this little cliff hanger so that I can get started on the next chapter instantly since for the next few days I would be too busy to keep writing so yeah sorry for the cliff hanger hehe…
