Chapter 8: Battle In The Blue Skies

After Black, gardevoir, and I sat to lunch, we both walked to the gym rather sluggishly. "A little slow now aren't we." I giggled

"Yeah, sorry. I ate so much its a little hard to walk." Black said very low pitched

"How are you gardevoir?" she smiled

"Fine, thank you." she said as low pitched as Black. We finally saw the gym, we where ten minuets late. We walked in and onto the platform. It once again began to shoot up to the upper area. After ruffly thirty seconds we finally reached the top of the tower.

"Ah, I see you've finally come to challenge me young trainer." I smiled

"That's right, and I plan on winning to." I said in a cocky tone.

"You ready White?" Black asked me

"Never been more ready in my life." Falkner smiled. I readied my hand on bayleaf's pokeball

"Go bayleaf!" I yelled.

"Go pidgey!" Falkner yelled back. Bayleaf blasted out of her pokeball and landed on the floor with a thud.

"Ok bayleaf use vine whip!" bayleaf's neck buds burst out into huge vines and flew to pidgey with terrifying speed.

"Pidgey, dodge!" Falkner commanded. Pidgy flew around bayleaf as fast as a rocket.

"Pidgey, use tackle!" Pidgey rammed the side of bayleaf with a huge amount of force." Bayleaf quickly recovered and began another raid of vine whip. This time Pidgey was caught by surprise, pidgey was blown back from the force of bayleaf's vine whip.

"Pidgey!" Falkner yelled

"Hahaha that's the way!" I said confidently. Pidgey had fainted from the massive attack bayleaf had used. Falkner called back pidgey.

"Careful White, pidgeotto's strong!" Black yelled to me
"Ok pidgeotto go out their and give her a real fight!" Falkner yelled.

"Pidgeotto use tackle!" Falkner commanded. Pidgeotto came about at a lighting speed, he rammed bayleaf head on. Bayleaf flew back from the hit, she rammed the wall causing it to crack from the force of impact. Bayleaf thumped on the ground, she had fainted.

"Bayleaf!" I yelled. I ran over to her. Bayleaf didn't look to good, she took the hit dead on. Bayleaf was in no condition to fight. "Bayleaf return!" I brought out my last pokemon, pidgey. "Ok pidgey don't let me down." I felt like I was at a complete disadvantage. I through out the pokeball and pidgey appeared.

"Hmm? Last pokemon I see." Falkner said with a smirk. I wasn't going to give him a response.

"Pidgey use gust!" Pidgey flapped his wings with amazing force causing pidgeotto to lose balance with his flying. Pidgeotto quickly re-balanced himself.

"Pidgeotto use tackle!" Falkner commanded. Pidgeotto flew by and rammed pidgey like a dart. Pidgey hit the ground making a cloud of dust fly into the air.

"Pidgey!" I yelled. It couldn't be over, not yet, I knew in some way this battle wasn't going to end like that, in one hit. The dust was everywhere, it started to get hard to see. Where pidgey was laying a sudden light appeared. "Pidgey?" I asked whispered as if someone was their. The light disappeared. I looked up and the I saw a black shape silhouetted by the sun. I quickly recollected my thought and figured it out. "Pidgey evolved into pidgeotto!" I brought out my Pokedex and flipped it open.

"Pidgeotto, an evolved form of Pidgey. It is armed with sharp claws and dives from the sky to capture prey. Unlike the more gentle pidgey, pidgeotto can be more dangerous. Approach with extreme caution." listed was a new move that Falkner's pidgeotto didn't have, quick attack.

"Ok pidgeotto lets give this new move a try!" I yelled "Use quick attack!" I commanded. Pidgeotto flew by in a brown bluer, came right below Falkner's pidgeotto and rammed him as hard as possible. Pidgeotto was blow away by the force of the attack.

"Pidgeotto try an dodge!" Falkner commanded.

"Let's beat this match with one more quick attack!" I yelled as loud as possible. Pidgeotto flew around another time, went as high as he could, and began dashing down like a rocket. Falkner's pidgeotto didn't have time to move, pidgeotto came down on Falkner's pidgeotto like a hammer. Pidgeotto was pushed back by the force.

"Pidgeotto!" Falkner yelled

"Yes!" I yelled in excitement.

"Pidgeotto return." Falkner sounded almost happy. "I'm proud of both of you kids. You fought hard and didn't give up, even when the odds where stacked against you. I award you the Zephyr badge."

"Oh my gosh, how cool! My first badge!" I said. Black and gardevoir walked over to me.

"Looks like we have matching badges to show our awesome victories!" He yelled

"You to are great trainers." gardevoir said comely, as usual. I high-fived Black and we both gocked at our badges. Today was truly a great day.
