"Halo, use Aerial Ace!"
"Masquerain, use Aerial Ace as well!"
Both Flying types flew towards each other at high speed and collided with each other. The result was Flynt's Masquerain fainting.
"Good work, Halo. You were great!" Davin said.
"Beautifly." She responded.
Flynt returned his Masquerain. "Great job! After what I've taught you, you should be able to win against Winona."
"Thanks again for training with me, Flynt. See ya!" Davin ran back to Fortree City with his Beautifly right behind him.
After going to Pokemon Center, Davin arrived at the Fortree City gym. When he went through the doors, he was in a room with a green floor, battlefield in the center, and a bright yellow ceiling.
"Winona, I challenge you to a gym battle!" Davin shouted while taking his place at his respective side of the battlefield.
"I accept!" A woman wearing what looked like a blue and white flight suit with long lavender hair under a helmet came out of the back room and took her place on the field. "May I ask what the challenger's name is?"
"Davin." He said with a smile.
Winona called for the judge as she came to the side of the field. "The battle between the Gym leader, Winona, and the challenger, Davin, will now begin! Both sides will use five Pokemon and only the challenger may substitute his Pokemon." She crossed her flags. "Begin!"
Winona chose first. "Swablu, I choose you!" A small blue bird with wings that resembled clouds appeared from the thrown ball.
"All right, Ferro, you're up first!" Davin threw his Poke ball and the recently evolved Ferro appeared on the field.
"Swablu, use Aerial Ace!" The bluebird ascended to the air and dove towards its opponent.
"Ferro, use Stone Edge!" Swablu was hit by a barrage of sharp rocks, canceling its move and forcing it to ascend back into the air.
"Use Mirror Move!" A quick flash was shown on Swablu's body and sharp rocks were launched from its wings.
"Harden!" Ferro stiffened his body and the rocks bounced off of him. "Now, Iron Head!" The Lairon smashed his head into Swablu, knocking the small bird into unconsciousness.
"Swablu is unable to battle! Lairon wins!"
"Too easy. That just means Winona's trying to throw us off our guard." Davin thought. "Well, it's not going to work. We've been through this too many times already."
Winona called back Swablu. "Now, Tropius, let's go!" A brown creature with a long neck and leaf-like wings materialized into the battle.
"Sunny Day!" A white sphere formed in its mouth and was shot in the air, creating intense light in the room.
"Ferro, use Headbutt!"
"Solar Beam, now!" Tropius's wings glowed and a white beam of energy fired from its mouth. Though it seemed like a direct hit, Ferro kept charging and landed a head blow to its body. Winona gasped.
Davin called out, "Use Stone Edge!" making Ferro fire the rocks at Tropius. With an added Iron Head, the Grass/Flying Pokemon fell to its defeat.
"Tropius is unable to battle! Lairon wins!"
"Excellent!" Davin cheered.
Winona recalled Tropius to its ball. "Pretty impressive display, Davin. But, as you already know, the battle's just beginning!" She sent out a Pelipper as her next Pokemon.
"Ferro, take a break." The Poke ball bathed it in red light and absorbed it back in. "Luck, I choose you!" Davin's trusty Vigoroth came out on to the field.
"All right, use Uproar!" The Wild Monkey Pokemon stomped around and clapped its hands wildly, making Pelipper wince.
"Slash attack!" It ran at the airborne pelican with the claws on its right hand glowing white.
"Pelipper, Protect!" A green forcefield surrounded its body, rendering Luck's Slash useless as it hit.
"Use Water Gun!" Pelipper quickly shot a blast of water from its mouth, shooting Luck straight into the ground.
"Luck, use Focus Punch!"
"Supersonic!" Pelipper released multiple transparent sound waves from its mouth, making the Vigoroth confused. "Use Aerial Ace!" The pelican dived down and slammed its large beak into Luck's body, knocking it unconscious.
"Vigoroth is unable to battle! Pelipper wins!"
Davin recalled the fallen Normal type. "She may have caught me a little off guard, but I'm still in this." He sent out his Beautifly to battle next.
"Halo, use Gust!" The butterfly flapped its wings to create a strong, blowing wind.
"Protect!" The green forcefield appeared again, blocking Pelipper from the wind.
"I had a feeling she'd do that. Aerial Ace!" As soon as the forcefield disappeared, Pelipper was struck by Halo's attack.
"Now's the time to use the new move we learned during our training. Halo, use Energy Ball!" A green sphere formed in its proboscis and it was shot at Pelipper, bringing it down to the ground. That, along with an Aerial Ace, made Pelipper faint.
"Pelipper is unable to battle! Beautifly wins!"
"Great work, Halo!" Davin said.
"Beau, Beautifly." She thanked him.
Winona returned Pelipper. "No more playing around! Skarmory, let's go!" Her metal-coated bird Pokemon was sent out into the air.
"Hmm... A Steel type is difficult to take down without the right moves... but I think we can do it! Halo, use Stun Spore!" The butterfly flapped her wings to send an orange powder towards the foe.
"Skarmory, Sand Attack!" The Armor Bird Pokemon flapped its wings to create a dust cloud that overpowered Stun Spore and blinded Halo so that she couldn't see.
Davin gasped as Winona said, "Now, Fury Attack!" in which Skarmory attacked Halo repeatedly with its beak in rapid succession.
"Halo, try to fly away!"
"Aerial Ace!" Skarmory backed up a little and slammed its sharp beak in the center of Beautifly's body, making it faint as it hit the ground.
"Beautifly is unable to battle! Skarmory wins!"
