Chapter Seven
As we left our two heroes, Ash has recently caught a Tepig and the couple are now on their way to Striaton City for Ash first Unova gym battle.
Route 2
Ash and Dawn are only an hour left to arrive to Striaton City, Dawn decided to rest and have lunch with their Pokémon.
Ash: Alright everyone come on out.
Dawn: Everyone spotlight!
Pidove, Oshawott, Tepig, Buneary, Pachirisu, Mamoswine, Quilava, and Togekiss were released from their Pokéballs for lunch. Pikachu and Piplup joined the other Pokémon.
Ash and Dawn soon join each other while watching their Pokémon.
A wild Pokémon is secretly watching the two trainer's Pokémon eating, it was starving itself after not eating for two days straight. It could handle the starvation and it tries to get some food without being notice. Pikachu's ears soon twitch hearing something near Dawn's backpack.
Pikachu: Pika!
The wild Pokémon soon got scared and it tries to run for its life, but it suddenly faints from starvation.
Pikachu soon warns Ash and Dawn about the situation. Ash sees the Pokémon and it's a Snivy.
Dawn: That's a Snivy, and it's not looking very well.
Ash: We gotta do something.
Ash goes to his backpack and gets some Oran berries. Ash gave Dawn the Oran berries for Snivy. Dawn was hoping for Snivy to get well and she prepares some food for Snivy once she wakes up. The other Pokémon seem very worry.
Buneary offers Snivy her's vest.
Dawn: Ahh Buneary your such a sweetheart.
Buneary: Bunn!
Ash: We might as well get Snivy to a Pokémon Center right away.
Dawn: Yeah, but the nearest one is in Striaton City and that's an hour away.
Ash: You're right; I wish Brock was here to help.
Dawn: I say we run to Striaton City for Snivy.
Ash: Yeah lets go.
Ash and Dawn recall their Pokémon into their Pokéballs while Dawn carries Pikachu on her arms while Piplup on her head, Ash is carrying Snivy.
As Ash and Dawn have only a few minutes away to Striaton City, there was a road block ahead. Ash and Dawn were in a rush to the Pokémon Center, so they decided to around the forest. The sun was setting and it was getting really dark in the forest.
As the trainers try to find their way out of the forest to Striaton City, a group of Swoobats attacks the young trainers.
Ash: Pikachu use Thunderbolt!
Pikachu: CHUUUUUUUU!
Half of the Swoobats were knock out and the trainers made a run for it. They see the lights of Striaton City, they were relief they were out of the forest and the Swoobats stop following the trainers.
Striaton City(8:37p.m.)
Ash and Dawn have made it to the Pokémon Center and they ask Nurse Joy to treat Snivy to full health. Ash enters the room where Snivy is resting and sat down next to the Grass Snake Pokémon.
Dawn then enters the room and finds Ash sleeping next to Snivy. Dawn gets a blanket for Ash and kiss him goodnight. She left a poffin for Snivy to eat when she wakes up.
Striaton City's Pokémon Center(7:24a.m.)
Snivy wakes up and sees Ash sleeping next to her, she notice a poffin left for her to eat and she took a bite. Snivy was enjoying Dawn's homemade poffin.
Snivy: Sni Snivy!
Ash then wakes up and he's glad that Snivy made a full recovery.
Ash: Snivy you're okay. (Said happily)
Snivy: Snivy!
Ash pulls out his Pokédex to get information about Snivy.
Pokédex: Snivy, the Grass Snake Pokémon. Cool, calm, and collected, Snivy uses photosynthesis to collect energy with the leaf on its tail.
Dawn: Your awake, did you enjoy my poffin I left for you Snivy?
Snivy: Vy! (Nodded its head in agreement)
Dawn: That's great you enjoyed it.
Ash: Hey Snivy want to come with us in our journey?
Snivy: Snivy! (Snivy agreed)
Ash gets his Pokéball and catches Snivy.
Dawn: Now you have all three starters by your side. (Said joyfully)
Ash: Yeah, this reminds me of how I met Bulbasaur , Charmander, and Squirtle back in Kanto. I did also manage to meet Chikorita, Cyndaquil, and Totodile in Johto too.
Dawn: Wow you have many stories to tell me once we have the time after the Unova League.
Ash: Yeah, I guess I can tell you my adventures in Kanto, Johto, and Hoeen after the Unova League.
Dawn: Hey lets go to the Striaton Gym for your first battle.
Ash: Right.
Ash asks Nurse Joy about the location of the Striaton Gym.
Nurse Joy: Take the road to your left once you leave the center and you'll see a building down the road which is the Striaton Gym.
Ash: Okay thank you Nurse Joy.
Nurse Joy: You're welcome.
Ash: Lets go Dawn.
Dawn: I'm with you sweetie.
Ash and Dawn hold hands on their way to the gym, when they were a little starving. Dawn decided to have breakfast at a dining restaurant near the Straiton Gym.
Ash and Dawn took their seats and they order a nice breakfast meal. Pikachu and Piplup got a free plate of Pokémon food.
The waitress brings in their meal. Both trainers order a plate of pancakes with blueberries. Ash digs in eating the all the pancakes under a minute. Pikachu was looking around Ash and Dawn's table and notices a ketchup bottle between them.
Pikachu: Pika Pikachu!(Ask Ash for the ketchup bottle)
Ash: Here you go little buddy.
Pikachu: CHAAAAAA!
Pikachu squirts ketchup on his food and starts to eat his favorite flavor of ketchup.
Pikachu: CHAAA!
Dawn: That was delicious, wasn't it Ash?
Ash: Yeah, you're ready to go to the gym?
Dawn: Yeah lets go, come on Piplup and Pikachu.
Their starter Pokémon followed Dawn outside while Ash just finished paying the check.
Ash and Dawn are now their way to the gym for Ash to earn his first Unova League gym badge.
Striaton Gym
Ash and Dawn are now standing at the front of the gym itself, they both enter the gym, but when they enter it. The trainers looked confused when the gym doesn't look like a gym, it's a restaurant. A young man with green hair asks the two trainers for how many people for a table.
Ash: Is this the Striaton Gym?
Cilan: Why yes it is, would you like to have a gym battle?
Ash: Yeah and my name is Ash Ketchum from Pallet Town.
Dawn: And my name is Dawn from Twinleaf Town.
Cilan:Nice to meet you two. Chili and Cress, we got a trainer wanting to have a gym battle.
The three brothers bring Ash and Dawn to the gym's arena for the official gym battle. Cilan, Chili, and Cress give Ash a choice to pick which gym leader he wants to battle.
Ash: I choose all three of you.
Dawn: What?
Cilan: The three of us?
Ash: Yeah, one at a time.
Cilan: Well we could have a triple battle instead.
Ash: Triple Battle?
Cilan: A triple battle is when a trainer sends out three Pokémon at the same time and the opposing trainers does the same with his three Pokémon.
Ash: Ohh Okay, so it's like a double battle but with an extra Pokémon. Alright I understand now.
Chili: Okay lets get this battle started.
As: Right, Snivy, Tepig, and Oshawott I choose you.
Cilan: Pansage go.
Chili: Go Pansear.
Cress: Lets do this Panpour.
A battle between the same type match ups, but each type has their own disadvantage from one to the other.
Dawn: Good luck Ash, I love you.
Ash: I love you to Dawn.
Referee: Let the battle, Begin!
Ash: Snivy use Leaf Tornado on Panpour, Oshawott use Water Gun on Pansear, and Tepig use Ember on Pansage.
Cress: Panpour use Water Spout.
Panpour sprayed water around the battlefield to weaken Tepig's fire power.
Pansear manage to dodge Oshawott's Water Gun, but Pansage took minimum damage from Tepig's Ember due to the Water Spout sprayed around the field.
Cilan: Pansage use Bullet Seed at Oshawott!
Pansage shoot some Bullet Seeds at Oshawott and Ash had Snivy to deflect the Bullet Seeds with Leaf Tornado.
Ash: Tepig use Ember at Pansage!
Pansage took some small amount of damage but it still can fight.
Chili: Pansear use Flamethrower at Snivy.
Ash: Snivy pick up Oshawott with Vine Whip and spin him around while using Aqua Jet as a counter shield.
Oshawott use Aqua Jet to protect Snivy and Ash had Snivy to throw Oshawott at Pansear while using Aqua Jet. Oshawott was thrown at Pansear and cause a one hit knock out.
Referee: Pansear is unable to battle.
Chili: What? (In disappointment) Return Pansear, you did well.
Now that Chili is out, Cilan and Cress remain with their respective Pokémon.
Ash: Great job Snivy and Oshawott.
Snivy: Vvy!
Oshawott: Osha Osha!
The battle continues and Cress order Panpour to use Hydro Pump to knock out Tepig is one blow.
Ash: Oshawott use Water Gun to block that Hydro Pump and Snivy use a Leaf Tornade at Panpour while he's distracted!
Snivy: Snivy!
Ash: Tepig use Flame Charge at Pansage!
Snivy's Leaf Tornado hit Panpour and causes some serious damage to the water type. Pansage dodges the Flame Charge but Tepig's rasies its speed every time it uses Flame Charge.
Cilan: Pansage use Solarbeam at Tepig!
Pansage is now charging up a Solarbeam, but that leaves Tepig for another Flame Charge while Pansage is charging the Solarbeam.
Ash: Tepig finish off Pansage with one more Flame Charge!
Tepig charges at Pansage with a Flame Charge, Pansage's Solarbeam is fully charged and it aims directly at Tepig. Tepig got hit by the Solarbeam but it's still fighting the Solarbeam while using Flame Charge. Pansear and Tepig stuggle to see which attack will win. While Snivy lift up Oshawott again with her Vine Whip so Oshawott can deliver the final blow with Razor Shell.
Tepig is still fighting the Solarbeam and it manages to get through the Solarbeam and knocks out Pansage.
Oshawott Razor Shell hit Panpour cause very little damage, while Snivy uses Razor Leaf to knock out Panpour.
Referee: Pansage and Panpour are unable to battle, which leaves Ash from Pallet Town the winner.
Cilan: Well I say, he's very fond with his Pokémon. The amazing move combinations that his three Pokémon manage to pull off, what an exquisite recipe.
Dawn: Horay! He did it Piplup. (Said in excitement)
Piplup: Piplup!
Ash: Alright thanks you three. We couldn't done without you three and I'm proud of all of you.
Pikachu: PIKA! (Thanking to the starter Pokémon)

The three brothers come up towards Ash to congratulate him for his victory and they presented the gym badge.
Cilan: Congrats Ash for your victory today here at the Striaton Gym, I would like to present you the Trio Badge.
Ash accepted his first Unova gym badge and showed his badge to his Pokémon. Dawn came up to Ash to hug him tightly.
As the trainers are about to leave the Striaton Gym, Cilan tells Ash that he'll be happy to join him on his journey through the Unova region.
Ash and Dawn accepts Cilan's request to join them. Cilan informs Ash that the next gym is in Nacrene City.
