Ch 17
He was strong. The gym leader. Pikachu was rushed to the local Pokèmon center. Ash was tossing up whether or not to evolve him or not. I looked over at the others.
"I am going to train. Be back after my battle..." Ash could not take his eyes off poor Pikachu. "He will be alright he's a strong little guy. Have faith in what you think."
Eevee was getting good at dig. I could see her normal moves working well. As for Oddish I could see her dogging working well as well.
I was walking to the gym when Ash shouted behind me. "What are you doing? Pikachu can not face Raichu." Ash explained his plan before 2 people and a Pokèmon. They said they were Pokèmon cheerleaders. They were not good at all. But made us laugh.
The battle was competitive. Eolution vs eolution. I never seen a battle like this before.
Of course this time Ash won his battle and got the thunder badge. "Sorry I know you have just had a battle. But may I have a battle once your Pokèmon is healed"
It took two Pokèmon. Two different battles to get my badge. "Your strong. Both of you." I have never heard someone call me and my friend strong. "Carry on like you are and you will be something big one day." And you know what I hope we will.
