My Pokémon Story
Kanto story Vermilion Gym battle
I continued down Route 6 battling other trainers, Beedrill even learned a new move cut.
Finally, I arrived in Vermilion city.
I first healed my Pokémon at the Pokémon centre, while there I learned that L.T Surge the Gym leader is really strong, so strong most of the trainers there are all there because they lost to him in a Gym battle against him.
So, in decided to do a little training myself before battling him, I went on the nearby cruise ship the ST. Anne and battled more trainers and passengers Pokémon there until finally, Geodude evolved into Graveler, and so with my newly evolved Graveler I was ready to battle the Vermillion city Gym leader L.T Surge.
I got off the ship which was a good thing because it was about to leave port and went inside the Gym and met L.T Surge.
"Hey there Baby! I call all young trainers Baby unless they can beat me in battle, you look like you won't last long against me in battle! Especially if you use your little unevolved Pikachu you got there, if you want to proceed this will be a one vs one battle" said Surge.
L.T Surge brought out his Raichu and I brought out Graveler, being a rock and ground type, it gave us the advantage.
Raichu started the match by using thunderbolt on Graveler but off course it had no effect but I wasn't to hurt Graveler it was just to show its power, then Raichu went to use mega punch on Graveler but I had Graveler quickly use defence curl to raise its defence so it didn't take much damage, then Raichu kept using mega punch on Graveler while I kept on raising its defence with defence curl.
I was very confident in Graveler's defensive power but then Raichu was able to land a critical hit, so I had to start fighting back.
I had Graveler use rock throw that was a big hit on Raichu, Raichu then fought back with mega kick but it was a small hit because off grovelers high defence.
Then we countered with tackle on Raichu, Raichu took some damage I looked like one more hit would be the end of the match but L.T Surge looked all fired up and had Raichu use Mega kick on Graveler but because off Graveler's high defence Graveler took it then grabbed Raichu's foot, it turns out Graveler had learned seismic toss all on its own and used seismic toss throwing Raichu to the air and back down to the ground, Raichu fainted and was unable to battle, Graveler had won and I was the victor.
L.T Surge was surprised I'd won but was happy I'd won and congratulated me with the thunder badge.
"Congratulations Ian, you aren't no baby, you have the making of a true Pokémon Master" said L.T Surge.
We left the Gym and went onto Route 11 and battled more trainers and Pokémon until Spearow finally evolved into Fearow.
Later on back in Vermillion city we met he chairman of the Pokémon fan club and he told me that the road to the next city is back on thru Route 5 but before I left he gave me a bike voucher for the bike shop back in Cerulean city, he also said I was the third trainer he'd given a voucher too and had one more left.
I travelled back thru Route 6 then back into Cerulean city and went to the bike shop, gave the owner my bike voucher and he gave me a brand-new bicycle.
The shop owner said I was the third trainer to get one with a voucher today so that must mean Alex and Kirk had already been here but not Connor.
I continued back on Route 5 with my new bike I was really moving fast.
I found the path that lead to Route 9 and battled more trainers and with Beedrills help cut down lots off trees that were blocking the way until finally we reached a Pokémon centre right next to the entrance to Rock Tunnel.
I went inside to heal my Pokémon and saw Kirk.
