Chapter 25: The Legendary League HQ (Red's POV)
I crawled up to the side of the building. I was in Sootopolis City. The Cave Of Origin... That was where they believe these guys were staked out at. Made sense. Easy to defend. Easy to trap your enemies inside, too.
I raced to the edge of the water, and dove in. I surfaced near the island where the gym was. I climbed onto the land, and raced into the gym. It was freezing in here! Of course. This was a water gym, after all.
"I'm in position," I said into the walkie-talkie I held.
"Alright. When you hear the blast, you need to make your move." Norman said over the device.
"Be careful Red," Chloe said. I jumped. She was inside the gym with me!
"How did you..." I managed.
"Celebi knows teleport." She said.
"Ah."
Thats when we heard the explosion.
"Venusaur! Frenzy plant!" I called.
Venusaur fired the vines into the ground, and they charged through the watery area around us, making them move faster, right into the base of the Cave Of Origin.
The cave collapsed.
"Enemy down!" I heard Chloe call into her walkie-talkie.
"Not quite."
"Shit." I mumbled.
The woman in white stood on top of the gym. Nearby, I saw Artcuno.
That was the last thing I saw before the ice overtook me, and I fell unconscious.
Chapter 26: The Fire Gym (Natalie's POV)
We walked into the gym, and I immediately began to sweat from the heat. There was so much heat, the air was misty, and I could barely see from it.
"Come on, the first hole is over there." Rhonda said. "I'll wait for you here. As long as I am here, I can give you some extra time if anyone tries to attack."
I raced into the first hole, and suddenly, I fell through the floor. I hit the ground. It hurt a little, but after a few seconds the pain went away. I saw two more holes, so I made a mental note of each one, and ran for the one on the left. A jet of hot air blasted me upwards, and I popped up through the hole in the ground. About half an hour later, I found the office, and there was a man with a set of yellow clothes on.
"Took you long enough." He said. The pokemon Zapdos was next to him.
"What do you want?" I snapped.
"I want you and your friends to go away so we can begin construction."
"Well, it's not gonna happen!"
"Zapdos, kill her."
"PIKAPIKA!"
ZAP!
BOOM!
The explosion from the two electric attacks blew a hole in the wall, which lead right to the entrance of the gym.
"Hey!" Rhonda protested.
I raced at the man, and tried to punch him, when he backhanded me so hard, I fell down the steps.
That was his biggest mistake of his life.
The resulting stampede of pokemon through the door was so big, the door was knocked off it's hinges.
"You're destroying my mom's gym! Stop!" Rhonda cried out in horror.
The man in yellow was knocked over, and I raced into the office, and found the bag of Ultra Balls, and stormed out, while the man cried out in pain from the attack. The air around them was even hotter than the rest of the gym, so there was a huge cloud of what looked like was comic book fighting dust around them.
"Here are your fucking Ultra Balls," I snapped. "Let's get out of here."
