"Protect yourself with your tail!" Stephen shouts.

Pikachu lifts his body up by his tail as Hoppip uses Tackle on Chikorita.

"Dodge!" Melissa shouts.

Chikorita jumps out of the way as Onix uses Earthquake. Both Pikachu and Chikorita avoid the attack but Hoppip gets damaged by it.

"Use Iron Tail on Onix!" Stephen shouts.

"Bind!" JJ shouts.

"Tackle!" Melissa shouts.

"You too Hoppip!" Sarah shouts.

Pikachu runs for Onix to use Iron Tail but Onix grabs Pikachu in Bind. Both Chikorita and Hoppip continuously are using Tackle against each other.

"Escape that Pikachu!" Stephen shouts.

"Crush it Onix!" JJ shouts.

Onix squeezes Pikachu much harder as Pikachu screams in pain.

"Keep it up Hoppip!" Sarah shouts.

Hoppip knocks Chikorita down.

"Chikorita!" Melissa shouts, "Oh no…"

"Chikorita is unable…" Rob goes to say.

Chikorita gets up and uses Razor Leaf on Hoppip causing Hoppip to faint.

"Hoppip is unable to battle," Rob shouts.

"Pikachu, Thunder!" Stephen shouts.

Pikachu uses Thunder on Onix and causes Onix to let go.

"No way!" JJ shouts, "Electric has no effect on Ground!"

"My Pikachu is way strong than that," Stephen says with a laugh.

Sarah returns her Teddiursa as Pikachu jumps back to Stephen.

"Onix use Slam!" JJ shouts.

"Quick Attack into Iron Tail!" Stephen shouts.

"Razor Leaf!" Melissa shouts.

"Use Scratch!" Sarah shouts.

Pikachu avoids Onix's Slam with Quick Attack and faints Onix with Iron Tail. Teddiursa uses Scratch on Chikorita but Chikorita avoids the attack with Razor Leaf.

"Onix is unable to battle!" Rob shouts.

"Teddiursa use Cut!" Sarah shouts.

"Tackle, Chikorita!" Melissa shouts.

"Volt Tackle!" Stephen shouts.

Chikorita and Pikachu race for Teddiursa. Teddiursa hits Chikorita with cut fainting Chikorita right as Pikachu hits Teddiursa with Volt Tackle taking Teddiursa out.

"Both Chikorita and Teddiursa are unable to battle!" Rob shouts.

"You did great girl," Melissa says returning Chikorita, "Oddish it's all you now!"

Melissa throws her Pokémon and has Oddish appear.

"I should have evolved you into a Steelix," JJ says returning Onix, "Mawile this is so you!"

JJ throws his Poké Ball bringing Mawile out.

"You did excellent," Sarah says returning Teddiursa, "Azumarill come on out!"

Sarah throws her Poké Ball and has Azumarill appear.

"This will be quick," Stephen says, "Pikachu use Thunder!"

"Mawile use Iron Defense!" JJ shouts.

"Azumarill use Ice Beam!" Sarah shouts.

"Dodge that!" Melissa shouts.

Mawile uses Iron Defense but still gets hit with Thunder and faints instantly.

"Aw it's so adorable!" Melissa shouts.

"Rhydon use Rock Throw!" JJ shouts.

"Agility and Quick Attack!" Stephen shouts.

"Spark!" Melissa shouts.

"Water Gun!" Sarah shouts.

Rhydon uses Rock Throw which Pikachu avoids but not Pichu. Pichu uses Spark on Azumarill but it doesn't do much damage but Pichu does faint from the attack.

"Pichu is unable to battle!" Rob shouts.

JJ laughs at Pichu which causes Pikachu to use Thunder on JJ which has JJ falls over.

"Who should I use now?" Stephen asks.

Stephen stares at both Rhydon and Azumarill.

"Come on out!" Stephen shouts throwing his second Poké Ball.

Blaziken appears from the Poké Ball.

"Earthquake!" JJ shouts.

"Hydro Pump!" Sarah shouts.

"Jump and use Flamethrower!" Stephen shouts.

Blaziken jumps and avoids Earthquake and then stops Hydro Pump with Flamethrower. Smoke covers the whole field.

Rob throws his Poké Ball and has Gallade.

"Psychic!" Rob shouts.

Gallade uses Psychic to send the Hydro Pump back at Gyarados.

"Sky Uppercut!" Stephen shouts.

Blaziken jumps for Gyarados and uses Sky Uppercut to send Gyarados into the air. Gallade now uses Psychic to hold Gyarados in the air.

"Blaze Kick!" Stephen shouts.

Blaziken jumps up above Gyarados and then uses Blaze Kick which sends Gyarados flying down towards JJ and Sarah. Gyarados knocks both JJ and Sarah down.

"Overheat!" Stephen shouts.

"Shadow Ball!" Rob shouts.

"Thanks for the help," Rob says returning Gallade.

"You did amazing," Stephen says returning Blaziken.

Lucario, Rick, and Melissa walk over to Stephen and Rob.

"That was amazing," Melissa states, "How your Pokémon worked together in sync."

"The two have worked together before," Lucario explains.

"Yeah well we need to get to Violet City," Stephen states.

Our heroes continue onto Violet City but soon stop for lunch that Rob makes. After lunch our heroes clean up and then continue onto Violet City. Stephen and Melissa are holding hands as Pikachu is on Stephen's shoulder. Our heroes arrive to Violet City and go the Pokémon Center where they find their Nurse Joy. Rob again rushes to Nurse Joy.

"My beauty will you assist my broken heart?" Rob asks.

Stephen grabs Rob's ear and pull him away.

"Not now Rob, our Pokémon come first," Stephen states.

"But… but," Rob says.

"So you're Pokémon need me?" Nurse Joy asks.

"Yes if you can," Melissa says.

"I'd love too," Nurse Joy says.

Our heroes give Nurse Joy their Pokémon and after a while our heroes get their Pokémon back. Shortly after this our heroes go to the Violet City Gym and see Falkner. Falkner looks up and sees Stephen with his Pikachu.

"Well if it isn't the champ," Falkner says.

"Yeah what do you want Falkner?" Stephen asks.

"Oh how about your position of champion?" Falkner replies.

"Never will happen with your bird Pokémon," Stephen states.

"They you think that how do they beat so many Pokémon?" Falkner asks.

"Well they surely are beginners and don't got the skill I do," Stephen replies.

"I am just undefeatable with my Pidgeot," Falkner says.

"So you say," Stephen says.

Falkner grabs his Poké Ball.

"I'll prove it," Falkner states.

"Fine we'll have a one-on-one battle," Stephen says, "I won't even use Pikachu."

Falkner throws his Poké Ball.

"Pidgeot let's show him who the winners are!" Falkner shouts.

Pidgeot appears in front of Stephen.

"I'll show you who the winners are!" Stephen shouts throwing his Poké Ball.

Staraptor appears in front of Pidgeot.

"I'll be judge," Rob says.

Running into the gym is Officer Jenny. Rob forgets the battle and runs to her and gets on one knee.

"My beautiful Officer Jenny what are you doing here?" Rob asks.

"The Sprout Tower is on fire!" Officer Jenny shouts.

"On fire?" Falkner questions, "But how?"

"It's Team Rocket," Officer Jenny replies.

"My beauty I will stop this Team called Rocket for you," Rob says.

Stephen grabs Rob by the ear and pulls him back.

"Not the ear," Rob says.

"Our battle will have to wait until the fire is put out," Falkner states.

"Got it," Stephen says shaking his head.

Our heroes, Falkner, and Officer Jenny run out of the gym and to the Sprout Tower.
