Gengar's Shadow Ball attack knocks out Persian.
"I refuse to let ya beat me, man." says Armando. "I call forth my strongest Pokémon...go, Kadabra!"
"Hey! You're cheating. This is supposed to be the Normal-type gym." says Ash.
"Who told ya that, dude? I make the rules around here. Kadabra, attack his Gengar." says Armando.
"Alright, have it your way then. Gengar, Shadow Ball." says Ash.
Kadabra's and Gengar's attacks strike each other in mid air.
"Kadabra, Psychic now!" says Armando.
Gengar takes a lot of damage.
"Gengar return." says Ash. "Go, Rayquaza."
"No! Not fair..." says Armando when he sees Rayquaza.
"Rayquaza, Draco Meteor." says Ash.
Rayquaza use Draco Meteor to knock out Kadabra.
"You managed to beat my Kadabra, my strongest Pokémon. I give up. Here, takes this Biancus Badge as a sign of your victory over me. You're truly a powerful trainer." says Armando as he gives Ash the Biancus Badge, a badge shaped like a white star.
"Thank you. It was an honor to battle against you. Next time we meet, I will give you a rematch. I bid you a good day and may Arceus bless you." says Ash.
Ash call back Rayquaza and then leave the gym.
"That wasn't too hard." thinks Ash.
2 hours later, Ash is in the Pokémon Centre, talking to Misty on the phone.
"So you defeated the gym's leader?"
"Yeah, Misty. It was rather easy."
"I see, but a badge is a badge."
"That's true. I don't complain."
"Nice."
"Pray for me, Mist. See ya as soon as possible. Bye."
"Okay. Bye."
Ash ends the phone call.
"Did the phone link hold properly?" says Nurse Joy.
"Yes, no problem." says Ash.
"Good. We've had some phone problems around here lately so I had to ask." says Nurse Joy.
"I understand." says Ash.
"Alright, Mr Ketchum. You room's in order, we've brought your bags there already as requested. Here's the card-key." says Nurse Joy with a friendly smile as she hands Ash the card-key to the room he'll stay in.
"Thanks, Nurse Joy." says Ash.
Nurse Joy smile, nod and then walk away to deal with a sick Pokémon that just got left at the centre by its trainer.
"Holy freakin' Arceus! Ash Ketchum, it's been years since last time." says May Maple as she enter the centre.
"May, what a surprise. What are you doin' in this region?" says Ash.
"Searching for some new mon to add to my team, that's all. You?" says May.
"I'm challenging the gyms around here." says Ash.
"Don't you have enough badges yet?" says May with a friendly laugh.
"I guess not. Still doing contests, are you?" says Ash.
"Yeah, but unfortunately there aren't any in this region." says May.
"Last time we met you had just won the Wallace Cup." says Ash.
"I remember. Feels like decades ago." says May.
"It was only 5 years ago though." says Ash. "I'm glad to be friends with one out of only a select few who's won the Wallace Cup 4 times."
"Thanks...and I'm happy to know a guy...sorry...man who is such an amazing and powerful trainer as you." says May.
"You always say such nice things." says Ash.
"Are you and Misty still together?" says May.
"Of course." says Ash.
