"Are you ready?" Roark asked Zina. Once again, he took his side of the field, his Pokémon completely healed.
"You know it!" Zina said. Cal, Danny, Michael, Rachel, and the twins sat in the stands. Romulus and Danny were holding signs that read 'Win or face the consequences', and 'Let's go Zina Aurora Shinji!' (They made them in between battles).
"This battle will be a three on three battle between Gym Leader Roark and challenger Zina!" The referee announced. "Only the challenger will be allowed to substitute Pokémon. The Gym Leader will start the battle. Let the battle begin!" The crowd cheered, some in favor of Zina, and some in favor of Roark.
"Let's go Geodude." Roark released his Pokémon.
"Dill, you've got this." Zina let her partner go.
"Geodude, use Stealth Rock!" Roark announced. His Geodude threw out an array of stones.
"That won't be needed." Zina waved it off. "Dill, use Razor Leaf!" Dill whipped up a storm of leaves. The attack was quickly released, knocking Geodude down.
"Use Rock Throw!" Roark commanded. Geodude tossed a giant boulder in Dill's direction. Zina was silent, refusing to give a command. The boulder crushed Dill.
"Absorb." Zina said. A green light glowed around Geodude, knocking him out. Dill pushed the boulder off of himself, completely healed.
"Geodude is unable to battle. The winner is Dill the Turtwig!" The ref said.
"Geodude, return. Go Onix!" Roark returned his first Pokémon and released his second. "Onix, use Rock Throw."
"Dodge and use Absorb." Zina said. Dill waddled out of the way and attacked Onix. Roark pulled out a potion.
"Here you go Onix." Roark said, applying the medicine to his Pokémon.
"Razor Leaf." Zina said, waving off Roark's attack. Within seconds, Onix was down for the count.
"Onix is unable to battle. The winner is Dill the Turtwig!" The ref called.
"No! Onix!" Roark called out. "I have to admit Zina, you're really strong. But let's just see if you can beat my last Pokémon." He returned Onix, and pull out another Pokéball. "Go, Cranidos!" Cranidos popped out of the Pokéball, growling as he came out.
Another battle? The dinosaur complained. That's just great.
"Cranidos, use Headbutt." Roark said. Cranidos charged forward and knocked Dill over. Dill got up slowly.
"Dill, use Absorb." Zina said. Dill replenished his energy, while weakening his opponent at the same time.
"Now use Pursuit." Roark said. Cranidos preformed his attack with absolute precision. Once again, Dill was left weakened. Zina bit her lip; Dill's HP was getting lower, no matter how many times Dill used Absorb. Even if she had him use Razor Leaf, there was a large chance that he would be knocked out in the next round. Sighing, Zina announced her next command.
"Dill, use Absorb." She said. Dill complied, and weakened Cranidos once more.
"Cranidos, Headbutt!" Roark countered. Cranidos slammed Dill into rock nearby. Zina shook nervously; Dill's HP was in the red zone. She had to think fast.
"Overgrow." She muttered. Zina broke into a grin. "Dill, use Razor Leaf!" A green aura floated around the leaves as Dill threw them at Cranidos.
"What's that glow?" Roark asked, confused. Zina smiled even wider.
"That would be Overgrow, Dill's special ability. When he's in low HP, his Grass-type attacks are boosted. So basically, Cranidos is doomed." Zina explained. Indeed, Cranidos was down for the count.
"Cranidos is unable to battle, so Dill the Turtwig is the winner. This means that the challenger Zina is the winner of the battle!" Called out the ref. Zina's friends all jumped up excitedly.
"We did it Dill!" Zina said, hugging her partner.
Yay! We won! The tiny turtle exclaimed. Roark walked over to Zina.
"Congratulations on the battle. You were fantastic." He complimented her. "In recognition of your victory, I present to you the Coal Badge." Roark handed Zina the small badge.
"Thanks!" Zina smiled. She walked over to her friends, with Dill following her. "Two down one to go." She said, looking at Cal. "I can't wait to see you battle Roark!"
"Yeah, but I'm pretty sure that this will be a piece of cake." Cal said casually. His stomach growled. "Speaking of cake, is anyone else hungry?" His friends laughed.
"There's a little café down the street. We can get sandwiches there." Remus said.
"Wait…didn't we go out for ice cream earlier?" Rachel asked, slightly confused.
"I FORGOT ABOUT THAT!" A majestic voice shouted. The kids looked around, but shrugged it off as their imagination.
"So…Sandwiches?" Romulus asked.
"Sandwiches." The others confirmed.

A/N: I am really sorry that I didn't update this on time. Last weekend was really insane and stuff…
Anyway, this chapter was slightly shorter than usual just because the battle was so easy. That's about it for today…
Read, review, and have a nice day!
