My Pov
We had to walk through the Santalune Forest in order to get to the next town. While we were there, Calem had caught a Fletchling, while Trevor also caught a Pikachu, Shauna caught a Caterpie and through training evolved into a Butterfree and I had caught a Pansear, Panpour and Scatterbug who i decided to call Vava. I read Vava's data.
"Scatterbug, the Scatterdust Pokémon. The powder that covers its body regulates its temperature, so it can live in any region or climate. When under attack from bird Pokémon, it spews a poisonous black powder that causes paralysis on contact."the PokéDex said. We finally managed to get out of forest and made it to the Pokémon Center.
"Guys, you go on ahead. I want to train my Pokémon a little more." I said. They all went ahead of me. After doing some training, Vava had evolved into a Spewpa and I caught a Litleo I named Lisa. I looked up their data.
"Spewpa, the Scatterdust Pokémon and the evolved form of Scatterbug. It lives hidden within thicket shadows. When predators attack, it quickly bristles the fur covering its body in an effort to threaten them. The beaks of birds can't begin to scratch its stalwart body. To defend itself, it spews powder." Then Lisa. "Litleo, the Lion Cub Pokémon. The stronger the opponent it faces, the more heat surges from its mane and the more power flows through its body. They set off on their own from their pride and live by themselves to become stronger. These hot-blooded Pokémon are quick to fight." the PokéDex said. I guess I'm as ready as ever. I had my Pokémon healed and then headed to the Gym to see the others outside.
"Cinder! We all got our first badge!" Shauna exclaimed.
"It was nothing!" Tierno said.
"If you've got your Pidgey, you should have no problem with this Gym. It uses Bug-type Pokémon." Trevor said.
"Good luck." Calem said.
"Thanks." I said. I went inside and was blinded by a flash. Hoppy who was on my shoulder fell off and rubbed his eyes with his paws. I rubbed my eyes and picked Hoppy up. I looked at the woman who had taken our picture.
"Sorry about that. I just saw how cute you and your Eevee were that I had to capture the moment. I'm Viola, the Santalune Gym Leader. I assume you atell a challenger?" I nodded. "Let's get started. We'll each use two Pokémon. Go Surskit!" the woman said.
"Go Wing!" I said. My Pidgey appeared.
"Surskit, Sticky Web!" Viola said. Surskit shot several webs toward Wing.
"Wing, spin to dodge." I said. Wing skillfully spun and evaded the webs. However the webs formed an enormous web. "Wing!"
"Surskit, Ice Beam!" Viola said. Surskit shot a light blue beam at Wing.
"Wing, use Gust and try to blow it back." I said. Wing flapped as hard as he could, colliding with Ice Beam. The attacks combined, causing snow to fill the Gym. I started shivering. Wing started getting weak from the cold that filled the Gym. "Wing, try to stay strong!" Wing snapped out of it and ruffled his feathers.
"Use Bubblebeam." Viola said. Surskit shot a barrage of bubbles toward him.
"Use the webs to shield yourself." I said. He flew behind several webs, causing the bubbles to hit the webs and knocked them down. However, Bubblebeam finally managed to hit Wing, causing him to fall to the ground.
"Quick Attack!" Viola said. Surskit zipped foward, but before making contact, it became trapped in one of the webs it had knocked down.
"Wing, use Air Slash." I said. Wing released multiple light blue saw disc-like energy blades from his wings, hitting and knocking out Surskit. Viola returned it.
"Impressive using one of my own attacks against me. Let's see you handle this one. Go Vivillon!" Viola said. A multi-colored butterfly Pokémon appeared. I pointed my PokéDex at it.
"Vivillon, the Scale Pokémon and the evolved form of Spewpa. Vivillon with many different patterns are found all over the world. These patterns are affected by the climate of their habitat. The patterns on this Pokémon's wings depend on the climate and topography of its habitat. It scatters colorful scales." the PokéDex said. So that's what Vava would look like when she evolved again. I returned Wing and decided to use Sylvie. I took her Heal Ball.
"Go Sylvie." Sylvie appeared. She looked around and then at me, a little worried. She was still a baby in a way. I got her as an Egg in Unova from Cheren after he became a Gym Leader. She hatched not long after she was given to me and I had returned home not long after that. This was her first battle. "It'll be okay Sylvie. I'm right here." I said. She nodded and turned to Vivillon. "Sylvie, use Swift." She jumped and flipped backwards, her tail glowed and released a shower of stars.
"Vivillon, Psychic." Viola said. The stars froze and then went back to Sylvie and hit her.
"Vee!" Sylvie cried. Sylvie rolled backwards several times.
"Gust." Vivillon Vivillon flapped its wings, causing a large twister to hit Sylveon. Me and Hoppy ran to her. I picked her and held her to me.
"I'm so sorry Sylvie! I thought you were ready to battle, but I was wrong. I didn't mean for you to get this badly hurt." I said, somewhat crying.
"Vee. Vee vee. Vee." Hoppy said. Sylvie looked up at me.
"Vee..." Sylvie whispered. An appendage sprouted from her mane and wrapped around me arm. Then her body glowed blue and her shape began to change. After the glow faded, she had changed into a pink Eeveelution. "Veon!"
"Sylvie..." I gasped. I took out my PokéDex and pointed it at her.
"Sylveon, the Intertwining Pokémon and the evolved form of Eevee. It sends a soothing aura from its ribbonlike feelers to calm fights. It wraps its ribbonlike feelers around the arm of its beloved Trainer and walks with him or her. Sylveon's known moves: Hyper Voice, Swift, Iron Tail, Charm, Shadow Ball and Fairy Wind." the PokéDex said. I looked at my PokéDex and it said she was... a Fairy-type? What was a Fairy-type?
"Amazing! Eevee can only evolve into Sylveon if it's extremely close to its Trainer." Viola said. Sylvie's feeler uncurled from around my arm and she jumped back onto the field. "Vivillon, Gust."
"Sylvie, Fairy Wind." I said. All four of Sylvie's feelers went inward then snapped outward, creating a pink, sparkling dust, countering the Gust and hitting Vivillon.
"Use Solarbeam." Viola said. Vivillon started charging for its attack.
"Sylvie, jump and Hyper Voice." I said. Sylveon quickly jumped and let out a large cry, sending out a blue wave of energy. The attack hit Vivillon before it could fully charge it's Solarbeam and was knocked out. Viola returned Vivillon and walked over to me.
"I must say that was astounding and proof how close you and your now Sylveon are. As proof of victory over the Santalune Gym, I present you with the Bug Badge." Viola said. I took it and examined it and it looked like a beetle. I returned to the Pokémon Center just as the sun was going down. I went inside, had my Pokémon healed and sent BonBon to Professor Sycamore. I went to the room the others were in. By the time I got there, they were all asleep. I crawled into bed, with Hoppy and Sylvie and fell asleep.
