The Aura Within.

Chapter 6: Gym battles and Pokenavs.

They passed another building. "That's the Pokemon center. Trainers bring their pokemon there when the pokemon are sick or injured." She laughed "I should know. We can also stay there for a night or two if we need to."
Riolu looked at the building with the red roof and nodded.
"And that's the trainer's school. Kids go there to learn about what they need to become pokemon trainers."
Riolu wasn't paying attention. He was staring at the huge building to his left. Janet noticed.
"That... Is the Devon Corporation. They make all sort of things that make life easier for trainers. Such as developing new kinds of Pokeballs, and making Pokenavs."
Riolu looked at her quizzically.
"Pokenav is short for 'Pokemon Navigator' you use it for keeping in touch with your trainer friends, and checking where you are on it's map."
"Speaking of which." A man in a black suit walked up to them. "We're having a promotion of Pokenavs today at the Gym. Whoever beats the leader today gets a free Pokenav!"
Janet's eyes widened. "Come on Breeze, it's now or never!" She said, and started running towards the Gym, Riolu barely able to keep up on his little legs. "I'll be able to keep up better once I've evolved..." He thought.
She stopped so suddenly Riolu crashed into her.
Then he recovered and looked at the building in front of them. It was big, and had a sign in front of it that said:

The Gym itself had big red letters in all caps GYM painted on the front. As if it weren't obvious enough.
"You ready to go inside?"
"Ready as I'll ever be."
They walked through the door.
Janet seemed unaffected by the size of the place and all the rocks inside. She'd probably gone through this tons of times.
"Hi again Roxanne." Janet said with a wave.
A woman with brown hair tied with little pink bows replied: "You back to try again? I see you have new pokemon now."
"And now I'm finally gonna take you down!" Janet replied with a determined look.
"I see you have at least one pokemon that might cause me problems." Roxanne said.
"Lets cut right to the chase. I've heard what you have to say many times, no need to repeat yourself another."
"Fine with me. Geodude lets go!"
The leader sent out what looked like a rock with arms.
"Okay! Breeze! Go get that Geodude! Use Force Palm!"
Breeze ran at the Geodude, his arm pulled back in preparation for the attack.
"Geodude! Defence Curl then Rollout!"
The geodude tucked it's arms across it's chest, then started to roll at a high speed towards Riolu.
They hit, and a bunch of rock dust flew up from the collision. The geodude flew up high towards the ceiling and smashed into a stalactite hanging there. Riolu wasn't sure it was real, but it was falling. The geodude was lucky and landed far away from where it was going to land, but Riolu was right in it's path. Riolu fired Aura Spheres at it, but It didn't stop. It was falling faster than ever and was about to hit him.
He put his paws protectively over his head, as it fell on him it fragmented into hundreds of little sharp pieces that went everywhere. The part of ground it hit shot up so much dust everyone felt as if they were in a fog. When the fog cleared they saw Riolu at the bottom of the crater the stalactite created, still in the same pose he was in when it was about to hit him. A blue shimmer was in the air around him. As it dissipated Riolu fell to the ground, winded, but not dead, or even injured!
He had learned Protect.
"Riolu! You okay?" A worried shout sounded in his mind.
"Oww, I think I'm fine, just tired." He said.
"You don't have to battle anymore if you don't want to."
"Yeah, um, okay." He sounded a bit stunned from what had happened.
"Riolu! Return!" She sucked him into his Pokeball and immediately let him out next to her.
"Looks like I underestimated the strength of your new pokemon." Roxanne said.
"Go! Seven!" Janet said instead of a comeback.
Riolu looked up at her. "Why not Neo?" He thought.
"Go! Geodude!" Roxanne said.
"How many of those things does she have?" Riolu asked.
"Only two... Seven! Will-o-Wisp!"
Seven summoned the blue flames and blasted them at the geodude who was too slow to evade them. They didn't do much at first but Janet knew that she just had to wait it out now. Roxanne knew that too.
"Geodude! Rock Tomb!"
The geodude lifted rocks off the floor and started flinging them at Seven who used Agility to evade them. The geodude also visibly tired much faster than Riolu's did, probably the effect of the burn.
"Dig, Seven!"
Seven disappeared in a flurry of dirt. The geodude looked around wildly knowing that it was vulnerable to that sort of attack.
"Defence Curl, Geodude!" Roxanne called out.
Geodude wrapped it's arms around it's chest making it look just like a rock.
Seven came flying out of the ground from under the geodude's body sending it flying like a basketball through the air. Not nearly as high as Riolu's Force Palm did though, it only flew about nine feet before it landed hard. Not KO-ed yet though, but it's burn took care of that in the next round.
"Good job Seven!" Janet said as the geodude fell to the ground, and she recalled her vulpix.
"Okay! Neo, you're up!"
"Go! Nosepass!' Roxanne called as a response.
A blob-like blue thing with red nose came onto the field. It was one of the ugliest pokemon Riolu had ever seen. Not that he had seen many, but...
"Neo! Leaf Blade!"
Riolu snapped out of his thinking by the sound of the glowing leaf on Neo's arm slamming into the nosepass's chest. "Does it even have one?" Riolu thought.
Nosepass was throwing rocks at Neo, just like the geodude did to Seven. Seven had the speed to dodge them, but it was harder for him to do so.
"Neo! Solarbeam!"
Roxanne gasped. If that move was allowed to connect it would end the battle instantly!
Neo was buisy gathering sunlight so he didn't see the nosepass coming up on him with a Rock Throw. He flung a huge boulder at Neo, it hit.
Neo fell to the ground, unable to do anything for fear of letting loose the Solarbeam without a target, or worse, at a human.
He did the only thing he could do. He kept charging his Solarbeam.
The nosepass was laughing. Well, as best as a nosepass can. He thought he had defeated his opponent. It circled round to the front of Neo, despite Roxanne's desperate signs of 'NO!' and as soon as Neo saw him, he let loose. The nosepass shrieked in pain(?) and fell to the ground. Charred, and KO-ed.

"Congratulations, Janet." Roxanne said, voice just a bit bitter. "You finally beat me. Here is your badge." She handed over a piece of stone-colored metal. The hint vanished from her voice. Now she sounded excited. "I bet you could beat the other Gym leaders easily with that team of yours, and you're only going to get better and find more strong pokemon along the way!"
"You're right, I am. And after that, who knows. Maybe I'll go to Sinnoh even!"
"Rogya!" Agreed Riolu.

As they walked out of the Gym towards the Pokemon Center, the same man in a black suit stopped them to look at the badge. He then handed her a Pokenav with a 'Congratulations' and returned to waiting around outside the Gym.

"He doesn't look too happy." Janet mumbled to Riolu.
"Well, he's probably been standing there all day." Riolu replied.
"Yeah, I suppose so." Janet said, looking back over her shoulder at the man. She shrugged, and continued walking.

End Chapter.

Hey? What do you call a pokemon that likes nuts?
Pecanchu!

How did the Nosepass get into your house?
It used Stealth Rock!
