Chapter 8: Challenging
The day Lyra's mom had returned finally arrived. Lyra and her pokemons was woken up by her mother's loud voice from the living room but when she got up, she then continue her sleep. Her pokemons was still awake trying to wake up their trainer. Silver on the other hand already left their household last night once Lyra went to sleep.
"LYRA! GOLD! MOMMY'S HOME!" Mrs. Kurama said as she goes to Gold's room but it was empty. "Strange, Gold's not here? Is he supposed to be home yesterday?" she asked herself and approached her daughter's room next. Once she opened the door, she found Lyra sleeping peacefully while her pokemons tackling her lightly. "Lyra, mommy's home wake up sweetie." She patted Lyra's back and Lyra quickly got up feeling drowsy again.
"Welcome back mom." Lyra said as she yawned.
"I'm gonna prepare breakfast so see you after you prepare okay?" Lyra nodded and Mrs. Kurama left her room. Once Lyra got prepared she went down the stairs and began to eat breakfast with her pokemons trailing and joins in as they eat their own breakfast.
"Where's Silver? Did he already left?" Lyra nodded at her mother's question. "Where's your brother? He's supposed to be home yesterday."
"Onii-san is still at Sinnoh, he's been having errands lately for professor Rowan he says." Lyra said as she let Gon-chan and Pan-kun eat the rest of her pancakes.
"Oh, alright. I was looking forward to those pictures and merchandise." Her mother said in a regretful voice.
"So, how's Hoenn?" Lyra asked.
"Oh it's nice, I've spent my days there enjopying the great hotsprings of Lavaridge town." Mrs. Kurama said delightfully, she seems to forget herself being regretful.
As they ate, a knock was heard from the door, Lyra answered it. "Delivery for Mrs. Kurama!" a man called from the outside and it turns out to be a delivery man.
"Thank you, I'll take it from here sir." Lyra said and she took the parcel and the man took off with his ponyta after he bids goodbye. She checked the information written and it's from Gold. She quickly shows it to her mother and opened it. The content is an envelope of pictures of different nature spots and a few jewelry items, small pans, held items of pokemons and beautiful dresses. Mrs. Kurama was filled with joy gazing at the pendant with a topaz gem. Lyra founded a note between her new dresses.
More pictures on the way and maybe some new pokemon accessories for promising anything though. Be back till I want to. Take care! ^_^

"I thought so." Mrs. Kurama said as she nodded. "So, how's your days with Silver?"
Lyra blushed a little and shrugged. "He trained me and my pokemons to get stronger so that I can battle gym leaders."
"That's great sweetie, and did you won?" Mrs. Kurama asked and Lyra shook her head.
"No, not yet. I feel I'm not ready to face gym leaders. I still need training." Lyra said avoiding her mom's eyes that sparkles with excitement.
"Well, I better call Green Oak to train yo—" Mom said as she took her pokeNav but Lyra quickly stood and put her to a stop.
"No, It's fine Silver is already training me. Just like I said before." Lyra said. "And besides Green-senpai is a gym leader it will be a—" Lyra paused for a minute and a big smile appeared on her face. "Sorry mom I need to do something! C'mon guys!" Lyra's pokemons followed her and off they go.
"Wait Lyra!" Mrs. Kurama called but her daughter already disappeared and she just shook her head and let a sigh. "I have such reckless kids."
Lyra took her pokeNav out as she is now outside her house facing the pond going to the Tundra Cave, contacted Green and luckily he answered.
"Hello?" Green said on the line.
"Senpai, I was wondering…are you at Viridian gym I want to—" Lyra said but Green knew what she's gonna say.
"How many gym badges of Kanto you got?" Green asked.
"Umm 2 kanto badges." Lyra said nervously.
"Hate to say it but battle the other Kanto gyms." Green said. "You need 4 more gym badges to battle me., sorry but that's my rule, unless I see pokemon's potential I'll have exceptions but you should battle gym leaders. Hope you understand it."
"It's fine senpai, I understand. I'll fight you someday." Lyra said and hang up after they said good bye. "Well there's go something wasteful." She pouted leaning at the wall of their house. She looked at Gon-chan and Mari-chan who are happily swimming at the pond, Pan-kun played with the water at land and Hau-kun and Electi-chan watching the play time from a safe distance.
"Let's go to Violet City." Lyra said cheerfully, fistbumping the air with her might and began to travel. "We had enough training from Silver the other day right? And don't forget the training at the Bell Sprout Tower so we should work out fine right?" The pokemons just replied with happy tones.
"Maybe I should tell Silver so that there's someone cheering for us." She asked her pokemons who gave her a hesitant look and a confused one. She already knew the answer. "Yeah, he's not that kind of person to just watch and support a fight huh? Oh well." She shrugged and continued walking. Along the way, she met a bunch of trainers and got a friendly battle against them. She won some and lose some but that doesn't affect that much and finally they reached the city.
"Let's go rest first okay guys?" Lyra said as she panted and headed to the Pokecenter. There, Nurse Joy has offered her a little snack of sandwiches and let Lyra's pokemons rest. After a few minutes, Lyra decided to let her and her pokemons do warm-up attacks in a nearby route. It nearly took them an hour to train.
They are now at the entrance of the gym. Lyra breathed heavily and put her pokemons in the pokeballs. "Alright, let's go and do this!" she said confidently raising her fist up in the air as she enters. She was then surprised at how empty the gym was. "Is Falkner even here?" she asked to herself.
"Why yes madame." A chubby man said fixing his sunglasses as he looked at Lyra and bowed to her as a greeting. Lyra bowed down to him as well. "Look up." He said pointing above. Lyra looked up as she said and to her surprise, there's a second floor. The second floor was levitating.
"How is that possible and how can I get up there?" Lyra asked still gazing at the floor above. The man pointed at the elevator with just a floor board.
"That floor is hanging, there are strong wires to hold it, don't can use that to go up but be careful the second floor is wobbly that you might fall so don't go on edges." The man warned as Lyra went to the elevator. She nodded in reply. As Lyra is now at the elevator, it was still. She saw a button below the floorboard and stepped on it and it quickly go up that made Lyra lose balance.
"Welcome challenger!" Falkner greeted as Lyra tried to have balance at the hanging floor of the gym "Don't be worry, this is very safe. Please be calm and relax, stand still." He said and Lyra do what he said.
"Why is it hanging floor we should just down there." Lyra asked.
"My father wants his challengers to feel the wind as they battle." Falkner said putting his hand at his heart to show his words are truly from the heart. "This is a bird-type gym after all." He then laughed. "You must be Lyra Kurama. From New bark town?"
"How do you know?" Lyra asked.
"Your brother is a good friend of mine. He talked to me about you last time he and I had a chat." Falkner said. "I am always looking forward to batting him and I'm also looking forward to battle you, his sister, so let's begin!" Falkner said and he sent out Pidgeotto. Lyra took out her Marill.
"Mari-chan, use Roll-out!" Lyra ordered as Marill curled up and rolled to the Pidgey releasing a rock her size and throw at the bird but Falkner was quick and his Pidgeotto uses Gust and dodges the attack.
"Tsk…Once more Mari-chan!" Lyra commanded. Mari-chan was still up in the air from her jump as she curled again and throw the rock at the Pidgeotto and this time it hits making the bird fell down. "Good job!" Lyra gave a thumbs-up to her Marill who nods and jumps for joy.
Pidgeotto got up and now in the air. The rock began to roll at the edge of the floor and causes the surface to wobble until the rock is gone. Lyra loses balance and her Marill slide down but Mari-chan won't give up easily by jumping in the battle.
"Pigeotto, Quick Attack!" Falkner said and the bird flew towards the Marill and gave her scratches with his claws and a flap of his wings at a short distance. By this, Mari-chan is now low on health.
"Mari-chan!" Lyra said as she placed Mari-chan back to its pokeball. "You've done good! Gon-chan!Let's go! Use Aurora beam!" The Dewgong do so and made the Pidgeotto fell but not unable to battle just yet.
"Roost." The pidgeotto healed himself but only half of his health has recovered.
"Final attack! Ice shard!" Lyra said and the Dewgong released Ice from her body and fell Pidgeotto.
"Nicely done Lyra-chan! You've defeated my first pokemon but can you deal with my second and last?" Falkner said in his calming voice and sent out Pidgeot. "Pidgeot, use Wing attack!" The larger bird do the attack and summoned strong gusts of wind at the short distance having Gon-chan fainted in an instant.
"You done well." Lyra said to her Gon-chan and took Electi-kun out next. "You're on Electi-kun show that bird what you've got!" she said confidently then she gulped. "Electi-kun's my last pokemon with the most advantage since Pan-kun and Hau-kun isn't strong enough and had disadvantage as well. Do you best Electi-kun!" she thought. "Use Thunder shock!" she then snapped her fingers as she said it. The bird then stopped flying and got paralyzed. "Electi-kun has a magnet given by my brother and it boosts electricity."
"By that, Pidgeot can't move."Falkner said smiling and Lyra nodded.
"Once more Electi-kun!" she said.
"Try to move Pidgeot and use Twister." Falkner said. The bird fly heavily as he circled above the Jolteon and used twister. The wind is strong but Electi-kun holds the floor with his claws but he's attacked by the gusts but Jolteon took the move and use Thunder shock once more above him. To this, Pidgeot slows his spinning.
"Come back Electi-kun! Mari-chan, use Bubble beam!" Lyra said and Mari-chan used bubble beam above the bird and Pidgeot fell down unable to battle.
"Congratulations, you have good tactics Lyra." Falkner said clapping his hands.
"Thanks Mr. Falkner." Lyra said as she scratched the back of her head feeling embarrassed.
"Here's the Zephyr badge. I give this you as your reward for defeating me." Falkner said as he handed the badge. "Your skills are amazing!"
"Thank you." Lyra said admiring her new-earned badge.
"Now, if your brother took gym battles it's great training for me." Falkner said in his train of thoughts. Lyra looked at him. "But that'll never happen."
"If you want Mr. Falkner I can tell my brother once he'll be back." Lyra suggested with a smile.
"Huh? No. no need for that. We can't force a person to do what we want. We have to respect each other." Falkner said. "Say, how many gym badges you have collected so far?"
"1 johto and 2 kanto badges."Lyra replied and Falkner nodded and smiled.
"So, that makes me your first Johto gym leader. Keep up collecting badges!" Falkner said. "But I think it's not that you 'll tell your stronger—"
"It's to tell how many people—no, friends you've encountered." Lyra finished Falkner speech for him. "So I better be going Mr. Falkner." She bowed and Falkner waved to her as she left.
By that, it was already evening, Lyra took her pokemon for a rest at Pokemon center and had dinner there served by Nurse Joy. She bought some potions and medicines from the store and called her mom.
"Mom, is it okay if I raveled Johto just like Onii-san?" Lyra said as she returned to the pokemon center.
"Why sweetie? Are you going to continue battling gyms?" Her mother asked.
"Yup, so can I?" Lyra asked.
"Sure honey, just be careful and don't travel at night except now because you're going home first and get packing first." Her mother said with a giggle.
"Oh shoot, yeah I almost forgot, I'm on my way home!" Lyra said and went home.
