RubyxGoldLoverXx: Hello, just got to the gym leaders part. It took a day and all night to get me too because im being slow for the parts for the story, plus adding characters at the right time too. So, let me get to it.

Brandon's Pokemon: Aquanarion (Mudkip)

Chapter 2: Battling The First Gym Leader

(Normal POV)

As Brandon thought it over in his head, an unknown pokemon walked over to him, getting the nuts on the ground to eat. Brandon looked at the pokemon with awe as if he never saw it before. "Is that from here?" He said, looking over to it, getting out his Pokedex and checked the pokemon. It wasn't from hoenn, it was from the Kanto region. Brandon wanted to catch it badly. He got up from the bench and went over to the pokemon, the pokemon continued eating the nuts he grabbed from the ground. 'I gotta have him. Just got too.' Brandon thought, looking at it. "Hey bud. Over here! Yeah, you, eating the peanuts!" Brandon called out as the Charmander looked over to him and then continued to eat his peanuts. The pokemon then started to carefully walk over to Brandon, knowing Brandon, Brandon grabbed a pokeball from his pocket and sent out mudkip.

The Charmander got nervous and ran back to the pokemon mart, Brandon then went over to it, Aquanarion following him. "Come here! Im not trying to hurt you. Me and Aquanarion want you to travel the world of Hoenn with us. Right Aquanarion?" Brandon asked, Aquanarion looking over at the other pokemon. (Im not good with pokemon sounds, so….) "Mudkip, Mud!" Aquanarion called out and nodded, looking back at Brandon and smiled. Brandon blushed and looked over to Charmander. Charmander stepped closer, knowing to not trust his opponent, he stepped even closer to them. Then Brandon pressed the button on the pokeball and a red light was sent over to the Charmander, without Charmander struggling or anything. It made several wiggles before capturing, making Brandon smile and grab the pokeball. "Thank you Aquanarion. Seems like it trusts you more than me." Brandon said as Aquanarion smiled and nodded before Brandon grabbed his pokeball and sent him back to it.

"I gotta go back to the professor about this!" Brandon said as he ran past the pokemon center and past route 105. As he made it to route 101, He went to jump over the "Thing" that was in the damn way, he tripped instead, hitting his face on the ground first. "Ow! Shit! Bullshit! Who fucking put that in the way?" He said, looking up to see May from above him. "Hey Brandon! What happened?" May asked, knowing the answer. She tripped multiple times because of the "Thing". "Well, I tripped on the fucking ledge thing and my nose is bleeding like a bitch…" Brandon said as May laughed when she heard him curse. It wasn't usual that he did, he WAS bashful after all. "Damn, wow. A Curser huh? So am I. Need help getting up or your fine?" May asked, looking down at him, putting out a hand to help him up. He grabbed her hand and pulled up to where he was on his legs again.

"So, why were you coming back here though?" May asked as she looked into his eyes with a bright sparkle. He looked away by looking at the ground. He didn't have sexual feelings for girls, no offense to May, because he rather would like to have a guy. "I need to talk to the professor about something. Its rather important for my Pokedex. Its something small but it's a little deal to DEAL with." Brandon explained, answering her question as she nodded. "Well, have fun losing the next battle we have! I gotta go train some more!" She said as she went past him and went on her little way to train. Brandon smirked and thought 'No way in hell.'

He now has made it to professor and he then opened the professor's door as he was in the back doing some research on more of his stuff he had to do. "Professor?" Brandon asked as The Professor looked behind him and looked over at Brandon and smiled. "Hey kid. Whatcha doing back here so early?" He asked him, as he stayed turned around to see Brandon. "Well, I was sitting on a bench and then one pokemon that I don't know about, was eating something. I then went over to it, sending out Aquanarion, and it trusted him. It let me capture him as well." Brandon explained, looking over to the professor, taking the pokeball that had Charmander in it and sent it out.

The professor looked at the pokemon and had thought about it. "It's a Charmander. It's a fire type from the Kanto region. That's actually quite rare in the Hoenn region. You would most likely not see that here at all." The Professor said as he made a grin, looking at the Charmander, then back to Brandon. "You did never nick-named it, did you?" He asked, blinking his eyes, giving him a "nice" look. "Nope, never did yet." Brandon answered, looking at the Charmander. "Well, this would be the best time. What will you name it?" Professor Birch asked, looking at Brandon. Brandon gave it some thought and then he came up with a good name. "FlameLord." Brandon answered and Professor Birch smiled brightly. "Well then. He is now going to be called FlameLord. Also, he can learn dragon based attacks. But that's egg moves and egg moves are when you breed your pokemon. Breeding can be, yes you know this but, with a female and a male of some sort of pokemon. So, if you encounter one of these again, like you'll be able to or anything, maybe you would breed a male and a female." Professor Birch explained as Brandon nodded in agreement.

"But professor…" Brandon said, getting a worried look. "What Brandon?" Professor Birch asked, looking at the papers on the tables as he started to write on one of them. "What if the P-poke…- He couldn't finish his sentence, looking over at the now waiting professor who was waiting for him to finish his sentence. Brandon gave it some thought because he even knew what he was going to say anyway. Professor Birch realized his question as he was thinking about. "Well, if there are gay, they would not have a likely chance to breed eggs, Brandon." The professor answered his unfinished question with a smile. "AH! Embarrassing." Brandon blushed out and the professor laughed out. "So, its best to go train so you don't lose to May anytime sooner. Good luck with FlameLord. May you two be the best friends as pokemon and human together. Don't forget to challenge the first gym leader at Rustburo City. She'll tell you where the next gym leader will be as well. Good luck again." Professor Birch smiled as Brandon nodded. "Thank you Professor." Brandon said as he waved him off and exited the Lab.

Making back to Petalburg City was easy, plus training was good along the way because he got to record its data in the Pokedex in the middle of visiting the professor. Also, FlameLord's Level was now 9, Aquanarion got level 12 after training FlameLord to Level 9. (Makes it easier for you guys to know when they will evolve, yeah, the level. XD) So, Brandon has now made it to a forest, after battling a rich boy right by the forest, which made FlameLord Level up to level 10. As he was getting into the forest. He had to battle a trainer, which was easy. The trainer was a bug type and he has a fire, a Super effective hit. He beat him easily and moved along the forest with his two healed pokemon. Going deeper into the forest, he saw a scientist in a lab coat, which he didn't look like a battler.

Brandon approached the scientist and the scientist began to talk rapidly. "Oh my gosh, hi, umm…You would perhaps have the pokemon called Scroomish do you? Because I really love that pokemon." The scientist asked as one other Person in a Red uniform came over from a few steps behind the scientist. "Hey YOU! I finally found you! Give me those Devon goods and we won't have no trouble!" The Grunt said as the scientist looked behind him and then hid behind Brandon because of the Devon Goods wouldn't get stolen. "You're a Pokemon trainer right? You have to help me out from this! The president of the Devon Corporation told me not to get them stolen by some meddling Magma grunt! I need your help! Defeat him for me!" The scientist cried out as Brandon nodded.

"Oh? Okay…Get ready for a world of hurt, because its coming right now!" The Magma grunt said with anger as he sent a dark type pokemon out. Brandon took out his FlameLord and began to call the first move. "FlameLord, use Ember!" Brandon yelled softly as FlameLord nodded and listened to Brandon's orders as he hit the other Pokemon with a fiery blast, which wasn't too big of one, but it hit with a critical hit somehow. "Grrr! You'll pay for that! Poochyena, use bite!" The Magma grunt called out. "Dodge it FlameLord!" Brandon called out as FlameLord waited for the right time and when that came, he dodged the bite. "Yeah! Good Job FlameLord! Okay, now use Leer!" Brandon said as the Pokemon made a sharp look at the Poochyena and its defense got lowered. "Good!" Brandon smirked as he looked over to the Grunt and The Grunt had a full rage going on. Seems like he was madder than fire. Ahahaha! "Poochyena, use tackle!" The Grunt yelled and the Poochyena then hit FlameLord because Brandon thought it wasn't fair for the Grunt to get mad over a battle by not hitting his pokemon.

"Its okay, hang in there FlameLord! While you're hanging in there, Use Ember one Last time!" Brandon called out as FlameLord got back up on its legs and made his fiery 'Blast' again, knocking out the other pokemon on the grass, cold-out flat. "Yeah! Good job FlameLord!" Brandon said as he checked his pokemon for a Level change for FlameLord, which actually he did level to Level 11. "Alright good! Come back now FlameLord!" Brandon said as he got his pokeball out for the Charmander and it sent him back to its pokeball. The Magma Grunt sighed and sent his pokemon back to its pokeball. The Magma Grunt then smirked. "You've got some nerve, meddling with Team Magma. Your best bet is to train more, because when I meet you again, it won't be pretty. I'll let you off for now!" The Grunt said with a grin and left to go out of this forest on the other side. "Thank you!" The scientist said as he went in front of Brandon. "Thanks, here, take this! It's and Exp. Share. It helps with leveling your pokemon quickly. It took my brain and body to come up with such a device. Im also letting you have it because you saved this Devon goods. I have to hurry along now. But, here…Let him heal your pokemon!" The scientist said as Brandon smiled and handed him his two pokeballs that had Charmander and Mudkip in. The scientist healed his two pokemon, giving his pokeballs back to him, he waves him off and goes out the forest. "I need to train more…" Brandon said as he went to a patch of grass and started to train more.

By the time passing by, Brandon had just evolved Aquanarion, making it a Marshtomp at Level 16, FlameLord was just behind one level because of the Exp. Share. Brandon trained once more and got that Level for FlameLord, making it evolve into the second stage, Charmeleon (I hope I spelt that right. Sorry). Traveling along the road out of the forest, he got a TM from this boy went he passed by him. It was TM49 which was Echoed Voice, a normal type move for those normal type pokemon and such. Brandon thanked the boy and continued along the road. Surprisingly his pokemon were obeying him in a suchly nice manner. He would have to have a gym badge from them to obey but, Aquanarion made him, Charmeleon (Aka FlameLord), to trust Brandon.

Brandon fought many pokemon battles along the way, discovering his way to Rustboro City. His pokemon were already trained enough to beat the Rustboro City gym. After he just battled the twins that were on the bridge onto the way to Rustboro city, he runs ahead, trying not to fall into the water, to go to Rustboro city. As he made it to the nightlights in front of Rustboro city, He saw May come out the Pokemart. "Hey Brandon! I just had to get some things in the Pokemart. Im going to train my pokemon so I can battle the gym in this place. Its Roxanne, the Rock type Gym leader. She can take a hit but she can hurt back. Watch out as you battle here. After I battle her, we'll have our little battle. I need to go evolve my Torchic and Sloakth. Sloakth is Bulky, which means its gonna have more attack in its third evolvation stage. Its gonna be awesome! Just wait! I have to go now. Later!" May explained and smiled, but before she left, Brandon sent out his evolved mudkip and May got surprised.

"H-h-h-how?! Im so late! Im gonna lose our next battle. Aye-yi! Pardon me, but, you can battle it first if you want. I gotta train my pokemon now." May said as Brandon smirked and sent his pokemon back to his pokeball. "Have fun now!" Brandon said as he grinned. "Oh I will!" May said, running past buildings and went to the other place to train. Brandon sighed and then went into the Pokemart. He went to the counter and then the Shop clerk spoke to him. "Hey, how may I help you today?" He asked, smiling for his normal job. "Four super potions and two potions please." Brandon smiled back as the shop clerk began to push buttons on the cash register. "Okay, that's gonna come out to 4,200$." The shop consumer said, getting the items under the counter for Brandon. (The money symbol is supposed to be like that. Its different and …..Yeah you get it now. XD)

Brandon then grabbed the correct money from his wallet that he won from those battles and handed it to the Consumer and took the items off the shelf and put them in his bag. "Thank you. Have a nice day Trainer!" The shop clerk smiled as Brandon smiled and waved him off and left the shop. He walked down a path and went to the pokemon center to heal his pokemon. They were actually on yellow in Hit Points, so yeah. It took 2 minutes and he was outside of the pokemon center and walked to the Gym. He then sent out FlameLord and Aquanarion. The two pokemon came over and hugged him, which made him blush and hug back. "Okay, you two. We are here today to win and try our best. This will be my first Gym Badge in a Hoenn. This will be my lucky day if I win. Are you guys ready?" Brandon asked and smiled, letting go of the hug and padded their heads as they smiled happily.

"Char! Charmel!" FlameLord nodded and smiled cutely. 'Omfg, KAWAII!' Brandon thought as he smiled back at him. He then turned to Aquanarion. "Ready Aquanarion?" Brandon asked the water/ground type pokemon as it smiled and hugged him once more. "Yay. Thank you. Promise yall won't die. I'll try my best and tell yall what to do. You believe in me, I know." Brandon said, letting go of his hug. "Time to go back in your pokeballs." Brandon smiled and had the two pokeballs in both his hands and sent them back to their pokeballs. He then entered the gym, it was huge! Brown colored walls, well of course-its rock type. May never would lie, not that she would. Also, the gym leader was coming to him, smiling her usual. "You came to challenge the first gym, huh?" Roxanne asked, looking at him.

"Yes, Ma'am! I did. I want…..No. I need my first badge. Now, I came to challenge you." Brandon said as held a pokeball in her direction. "Uh-uh-uh, not yet. You have to prove you're worthy to battle me. Battle these others in here and meet me in the back, THEN we'll consider battling." She smiled as she waved him off and walked back to her spot in the back. "Okay, that's good. Makes me stronger, just watch." Brandon said, walking to the first trainer in the middle of the gym. Battling him was easy, the water/ground type beat his three geodudes and with the Exp. share, it helped FlameLord with his Exp. Too. They both gained one level, which was good. Brandon wanted them too. It would help them. Both of them were a level behind each other, making FlameLord level 17 and Aquanarion Level 18.

They were no match for him at all! He handled the second person, by turning left in the gym and beat that one easily. There was one more after that, which was down that left path and soon he beat that one, making their levels go up by one again. This was going as planned to Brandon. (I would go into battle, but this is mainly about battling Roxanne, so….OH LOOK! I have to continue...XD) He was at Roxanne before you know it. "Well, well, well. Just as I expected…I knew you and your pokemon would make it to get this far. Now, would you kindly demonstrate how you battle with your pokemon?" Roxanne smiled as she looked at him with confidence.

"I sure you, Gym Leader Roxanne. Its time…..FOR MY REAL POWER!" Brandon said with confidence as he backflipped into his battle stance and sent out Aquanarion. "Well, come out geodude!" Roxanne called out as the Rock-bolder like pokemon came out from its pokeball and onto the battle floor. "Funny, good thing I'll get the first hit. Aquanarion, use water pulse! Make it confused if you can as well!" Brandon called out. "Try and dodge it Geodude!" Roxanne yelled out as her geodude dodged some of it, but making the water pulse confuse it, which made Brandon's plan work. As it was confused, Brandon was thinking even more. "Use water gun now, Aquanarion!" Brandon yelled as Aquanarion nodded and used the water beam-like attack, knocking the foe out instantly.

"Yeah! One pokemon down! Come over here Aquanarion!" Brandon called out. "Bummer, Return Geodude!" Roxanne said as the red light was shown onto geodude, sending it back into its pokeball as she grabbed her remaining pokemon left. "Okay, that seemed easy, huh? Well, take a load of this, come on out Nosepass!" The rock type gym leader said as her final pokemon came out onto the battle stage. "Okay. Bring it on!" Brandon called out. "Okay, Nosepass, Rock polish!" Roxanne called out as her pokemon began to polish its rocky skin. This made Brandon's plan even better. He knew what he was doing. It that was going to do that, he would try to confuse it again and then send out FlameLord to use Iron head. This was going perfect. Iron head was an egg move that the breeder of the other pokemon trainer had. He had notice this in the forest. So, Brandon then spoke again. "Okay, Water pulse this time again, Aquanarion!" Brandon said as it made a big bubble around the Nosepass, hurting it massively with the super effectiveness and making it confused.

"Shit!" Roxanne said as she went over to her pokemon and use a full restore. Dammit, seemed like that planned failed, he had another one. "Haha, Sorry about, but im going to use water pulse again, but I'll let you attack since its your turn, haha." Brandon teased her with a pose and smirk. She smiled and grinned. "Okay, Rock tomb Nosepass!" She called out to her pokemon and it hit Aquanarion before Brandon could tell it to dodge it. It hit critically that it almost made him collapse on the pokemon stage. "Come back Aquanarion!" Brandon said as he returned his pokemon and then sent out His FlameLord. He know what he was going to do now.

"Oh, its your turn silly." Roxanne teased back, looking at what she was doing and paying attention to the battle. "Fine by me. FlameLord, use iron head!" Brandon called out and she had a shocked look on her face. "How can he learn that?" She asked, looking at the battle. "Well, I discovered it during when I was fighting in the forest with them. You see, it was an egg move that the other trainer had, whoever it was, but this was my pokemon and it captured. So, that's how I discovered it having Iron head." Brandon explained, doing his little stance like normal trainers would in a gym leader battle. "Well, damn. You're lucky to have such a pokemon. But, anyway, DODGE THAT IRON HEAD NOSEPASS!" Roxanne yelled as her pokemon obeyed her command, making FlameLord wait a bit before using the move.

This was going good for Brandon. He has an advantage now. "Use it now, FlameLord!" Brandon yelled as the pokemon bashed its head with an irony force that would make its shell break like steel. This made her pokemon have low HP. She didn't have no more potions. "Well, damn. Im screwed. Nosepass, rock tomb, one more time!" Roxanne said as her pokemon grunted but listened as it began to use big rocks to come down onto FlameLord, but FlameLord dodged them without Brandon saying anything. This was depending for Brandon and FlameLord knew it for him from the start. "Wow! Incredible! How did he dodge them that fast?" Roxanne asked, looking at the battle still. "Speed, endurance, and training. He knows what the outcome would be if I would to lose to you. So, anyway, time to finish your Nosepass off with one more Iron Head. FlameLord, you know what to do." Brandon said as his pokemon looked at him and nodded and paid attention back to Nosepass, running toward it and using the move once more, knocking out Nosepass, making Roxanne smile and close her eyes. She then sent back Nosepass as he sent back FlameLord.

"So…I lost…It seems like I have still much to learn. But, I understand the pokemon league's rules are supposed to let you have a gym badge after beating me. Well, you deserved it, Brandon. I hereby give you your first gym badge, The Stone badge." She said, getting the badge out of her pocket and from its case. She also got out a TM from her pocket as well. "Here." Roxanne said, approaching him as he smiled and placed his hand out, Roxanne putting the badge in his left hand as he put in his badge case. "Here, have this TM. Its TM39 Rock tomb. It's a rock type move that mostly only rock types can use. Trust me, its powerful and it packs a punch." She said, giving him a CD like disc has he grabbed it firmly from her hand.

"Thanks Roxanne. You showed me to be a better pokemon Trainer. May you gym be in my favor in forever." Brandon smiled as she smiled back, Brandon then waving her bye as she grinned. "Take care! Good luck with the second gym leader and your pokemon journey!" Roxanne yelled to him as he smiled. "I will, thank you!" He said, exiting her gym at once. He smiled and sent his two pokemon out of their pokeballs. "Thank you so much guys. Time to get yall healed. Especially Aquanarion. He's not looking to good." Brandon said as he hugged them soft and firmly. They smiled and hugged back. "Marshtomp! Marsh…" Aquanarion called out, as he grinned and cuddled Ruby. "Aww, haha. It was nothing. You both did a great job. Im proud of both of you!" Brandon said, looking at the both of them.

He called them back to their pokeballs and smiled, then looked over to the Devon workshop as a Magma grunt came out running. "M-move out of the way!" The Grunt yelled as he ran past the gym and up to the other route. "Don't you take those parts, bitch!" The scientist, from before, said as he began to chase the Grunt. "I have to go heal my pokemon quick!" Brandon said as he then ran to the pokemon center and ran to the front to heal his pokemon. "Oh, you in a hurry?" Nurse Joy asked as Brandon placed both pokemon on the counter as she took them and put them on the machine and it healed them as she then gave them back to him. "Be safe now okay." Nurse joy said as he smiled and then ran out the door like crazy, making others look at him. This was no good. Team Magma stole the Goods. Now, with Brandon's first gym badge, he can show what this fool what he was made of. No one would be able to stop him…

RubyxGoldLoverXx: And there's chapter two. I copied counterparts from the game for Roxanne. Plus, I made them curse some because I thought it would make it more interesting from you guys that would be reading this. Im currently working on Chapter 33 still on Ruby and Gold Dream Lovers? Because of school has made me lose my mind and such. It takes time for this story as well. But the next Chapter will be his Second Gym Leader and The badge. Trust him, I'll give you a heads up, he's gonna have it hard on him on this one. I added a Kanto pokemon as well to make it more interesting, but it would be rare for the pokemon to be in here. Plus, he will find another pokemon and nickname it as well. He likes to Nickname his pokemon. Plus, it took me awhile because I have six and he has two. I had to train awhile, which was a bitch. But I got them to a good level. Not two, six. He is two. Sorry for confusing you, I'll post the next chapter as soon as possible. Im just so busy I can't fucking think anymore. LOL. Until my next chapter, Read, Review, Favorite, Follow, and Pm me for any add ins. OH, by the way, the characters will be in chapter three. Like, he meets Gold, Steven, Dawn, and Lucas. They had to travel and all. The other are at different places.
