(The Next Day)

(Down in the Hotel Lobby)

Brady, Emma and Katie are down int hotel Lobby getting ready when they are joined by Cole.

"Hey Bro. How are you?" asked Brady to Cole.

"I am better today" said Cole.

"So are you heading to the 6th gym now?" asked Brady

"No I am going to take a little break change up my strategy then I will go face the 6th gym" said Cole.

"So were are you heading from here then?" asked Brady.

"I am going to go back to Boston then when I am ready I will leave to the 6th gym" said Cole leaving.

"Lets go get our 2nd gym badge then" said Brady.

They left the hotel and headed to the gym. All they have to do is cross the street and they are at the gym.

"I think that was a good idea for Cole to go back and work with his pokemon" said Brady to Emma.

"I agree with that. This way he will improve himself and he will be better" said Emma.

They made it to the gym and they walk in and find a girl in a white jacket standing there.

"Are you three here to challenge my?" asked the gym leader.

"Yes I am" said Brady.

"So am I" said Emma.

"Me too" said Katie.

"Ok good my name is Lilly Adams and I am your 2nd gym Leader. In order to earn the normal badge you have to beat me. So who wants to go first?"asked Lilly.

"I will" said Brady.

"Ok lets head to the arena" said Lilly.

Emma and Katie head to the bleachers while Brady followed Lilly to the arena. The arena is the basic arena with the two spots for the trainers not much else not like last gym with grass around it. They both take their spots. The ref goes to the center.

"This will be a 4 on 4 pokemon battle if Brady wins he will receive the Normal badge" Are you two ready?' asked the ref.

"I am" said Lilly.

"So am I" said Brady.

"You may begin" said the ref.

(Pokemon Battle Brady vs. Lilly for Normal Badge)

" Go Herdier" said Lilly.

"Go Prinplup" said Brady.

"Herdier use bite."

"Dodge it Prinplup and water gun."

The water gun hit Herdier and sends him back to were he started in front of Lilly.

"Herdier let use work up."

The Herdier begun to glow orange. He begun to be aroused his attack increased and so did his Sp. Attack.

"Herdier take down."

"Dodge it Prinplup and bubblebeam."

Again Prinplup's attack hit the Herdier. The Herdier again founded herself in front of her trainer.

"Thats a strong Prinplup but can it stand this move. Herdier use Retaliate" said Lilly.

"Prinplup dodge it and use peck."

The Prinplup indeed dodged it. The Herdier kept going and ran right into the wall behind Brady. The Herdier fell off the wall and hit the ground. The Prinplup 's peck still hits Herdier. The Herdier faints.

"The Herdier is unable to battle, Prinplup wins" said the ref.

"Good job here comes my next pokemon. Go Cinccino." said Lilly.

"I am going to stay Prinplup" said Brady.

"Cinccino use sing."

The lullaby hits Prinplup and puts to sleep.

"Prinplup wake up."

"He cannot be awakened when he was sung too" said Lilly.

"I guess I will have to wait till he wakes up or I can return him. So return Prinplup" said Brady.

"Smart thinking" said Lilly.

"Go Nuzleaf" said Brady.

"Ok we will do it again. Cinccino use sing." said Lilly.

"Not this time. Nuzleaf use bullet seed before she can use sing."

The bullet seed hits Cinccino and Cinccino could not use its sing.

"Cinccino use slam."

"Nuzleaf use energy ball to stop Cinccino from attacking."

The energy ball blasted the Cinccino. It stopped Cinccino from attacking.

"Cinccino try Hyper Voice."

Cinccino lets out this wail she made everyone but her trainer cover their ears. The attack drops Nuzleaf to his knees.

"Nuzleaf try solarbeam" yelled Brady.

His Nuzleaf looked at his trainer. Nuzleaf did not know what he said. But the Nuzleaf started taking in sunlight even thought he is still hearing hyper voice. Cinccino kept the attack up even she did not know what about to happen. His Nuzleaf took in enough sunlight and is about to unleash a powerful beam attack.

"Now Nuzleaf" yelled Brady.

Nuzleaf still did not hear but unleashed the attack. The solarbeam sent the Cinccino into the wall and stopped the hyper voice. The three trainers all took their hands off their ears and was able to hear.

"Good job Nuzleaf who was still kneeling on the ground" said Brady.

The Cinccino slipped off the wall and was unable to continue.

"How were you able to stop that attack even when your Nuzleaf could not hear you?" asked Lilly.

"Luck I guess. My Nuzleaf knew what I want him to do" said Brady.

"Hmm. You and him have a good connection thats good" said Lilly.

"Cinccino is unable to battle, Nuzleaf wins" said the ref.

"Ok these are my best two so good luck. Go Tauros" said Lilly.

"I will stick with Nuzleaf" said Brady.

"Ok Tauros use quick attack."

The attack hits the Nuzleaf without a chance of Nuzleaf being able to dodge it. The Nuzleaf was sent from where he was kneeling to now on the ground in front of his trainer. Nuzleaf is slow to get up but manages too.

"Nuzleaf use bullet seed."

"Use quick attack Tauros."

Nuzleaf was unable to use bullet seed and was sent into the ground by the quick attack. This time Nuzleaf was not able to get up.

"Nuzleaf is unable to battle, Tauros wins." said the ref.

"Good job Tauros" said Lilly as her Tauros returns to in front of her.

"You did great Nuzleaf return. Go Murkrow" said Brady.

"A flying type this should be good" said Lilly.

"Murkrow use wing attack."

The attack hits Tauros in the head. The Tauros just shakes off the attack.

"I know I cannot try to use an attack while your Murkrow is in the air. I have to think about this for a bit" said Lilly.

"Murkrow use wing attack again."

As the Murkrow approached Tauros Lilly told her Tauros to attack.

"Tauros use horn attack."

The horn attack sent the Murkrow into the ground and as a result of the Murkrow hitting the ground was bad. The Murkrow manages to get off the ground and back into the air.

"Hmm that Murkrow is strong" said Lilly.

"I know she will try that again so I have to use a different attack" said Brady to himself.

"I am letting you attack come on" said Lilly.

"Murkrow return, and go Timburr" said Brady.

"A fighting type. You have the advantage on this one." said Lilly.

"I know" said Brady.

"Tauros use horn attack."

"Use brick break Timburr."

The Timburr slams his log into Lilly's Tauros. The attack stuns the Tauros. Then the Timburr drops his log and then chops Tauros twice.

"Timburr use low kick."

The low kick knocks Tauros of his feet. The Tauros is slow to get back to his feet but does.

"Tauros use take down."

"Timburr wait till Tauros get close enough then drop your log to protect yourself. Then use low kick again."

The Timburr throws down is log in front of him as the Tauros begun to charge at him. Once the Tauros was right in front of him the Timburr jumped off the ground and the Tauros hits the log. Then Timburr lands behind the Tauros. The Timburr then low kicks him and again the Tauros is on the ground. The Tauros also feels the recoil of the take down. The Tauros cannot get up.

"Tauros is unable to battle, Timburr wins" said the ref.

"I am down to my last pokemon and she happens to be my best one. Return Tauros and go Blissey" said Lilly.

"Ok I will stay with Timburr" said Brady.

"Timburr use low kick."

"Blissey use flamethrower."

The Timburr goes after Blissey but as soon as Timburr was near he the Blissey unleashes flamethrower at Timburr which sent him away from Blissey.

"Timburr try brick break."

"Blissey flamethrower again."

Blissey blasted Timburr with flames again. Timburr could not use his attack. The Timburr got back up and continued to fight.

"Blissey lets end this shall we. Use hyper beam."

The Timburr was unable to doge it and was hit with the most powerful normal attack a normal pokemon can learn. The Timburr could not get up and was unable to continue.

"Timburr is unable to battle, Blissey wins." said the ref.

"It looks like I am down to my last two pokemon two" said Brady to himself.

"That Timburr is strong but I guess my Blissey is stronger" said Lilly

"Thats fine I still have two of my pokemon and if I remember from watching the battle at the park after hyper beam the pokemon needs to rest" said Brady.

"You are right" said Lilly.

"Return Timburr, and go Murkrow" said Brady.

"Blissey we have to just wait" said Lilly.

"Murkrow use peck."

The peck hits the Blissey but the Blissey looks like it really did not take a lot of damage.

"Blissey use flamethrower."

"Murkrow avoid that attack."

The Murkrow flew around in the sky and the flamethrower missed.

"I can say your Murkrow has a speed advantage. I have rethink of how to hit the bird" said Lilly.

"Murkrow use guest."

It became really windy inside the gym. The wind really effected the Blissey by not being able to see the Murkrow. The wind also started picking up the dirt on the ground almost blinding the Blissey from attacking.

"Murkrow use wing attack at Blissey's legs to knock her down."

The hit knocked down the Blissey and it was for the Blissey to recover from it.

"Blissey no" said Lilly.

The wind calms down and to see that the Blissey is blind by the dirt in her eyes and is barely able to stand.

"Murkrow use Aerial Ace."

The attack hits the Blissey and knocks her down. The Blissey could not get back up.

"Blissey is unable to battle, Murkrow wins, Brady is the winner" said the ref.

Right after the battle the Murkrow faints.

"Great job Murkrow return" said Brady as he walks to the center to join Lilly.

"Great job, you and your pokemon are really strong which means you deserve this" said Lilly handing Brady the Normal badge.

"Thank you" said Brady.

"Ok which one of you two are next?" asked Lilly to Emma and Katie.

"I will" said Katie.

"Ok let me heal my pokemon then we can begin. So go ahead and head to the arena" said Lilly leaving to heal her pokemon.

A few minutes later she comes back and is read for Katie.

(Pokemon Battle Katie vs. Lilly)

"This will be a four on four pokemon battle. The first one to lose all four pokemon is the loser." said the ref.

"Ok go Cinccino" said Lilly.

"Go Vulpix" said Katie.

"Cinccino use hyper voice."

"Vulpix use quick attack before Cinccino use that attack."

The quick attack hits the Cinccino which does not allow Cinccino to use hyper voice.

"Vulpix follow up with ember."

The ember hits the the Cinccino and causes Cinccino to burn.

"My Cinccino is burned what am I going to do now" said Lilly as Cinccino is hurt by burn.

"Vulpix use flamethrower."

The attack hits the Cinccino and that and the effect of burn just cause her to faint.

"Cinccino is unable to battle, Vulpix wins" said the ref.

"Cinccino return, and go Tauros." said Lilly.

"I will stay with Vulpix" said Katie.

"Horn attack Tauros."

"Vulpix dodge it and use ember."

The ember hits the Tauros which stops his attack.

" Tauros use quick attack."

Before Katie could call out her attack the Tauros hits the Vulpix and sends him against the wall and knocks him out.

"Vulpix is unable to battle, Tauros wins" said the ref.

"Return Vulpix and go Poliwag" said Katie.

"Poliwag use water gun."

"Tauros use take down."

The water gun stops the Tauros attack and sent him back to in front of Lilly.

"Tauros use quick attack."

The Poliwag was sent against the wall but unlike her Vulpix the Poliwag did not faint. The Poliwag got back up. The Poliwag returned to the arena. Once he got back the Poliwag got back to the ring it started to evolve. It begun to glow and change into its next forum. It evolved into a Poliwhirl. The Poliwhirl arms begun to glow and it launched a new attack. The attack was brick break. The attack hits the Tauros and it did massive damage to the Tauros. The Tauros cannot continue.

"The Tauros is unable to battle, Poliwhirl wins." said the ref.

"Interesting it evolved when you needed it to most" said Lilly.

"Yeah I am so happy about it" said Katie.

"Return Tauros, and go Herdier." said Lilly.

"Poliwhirl use brick break."

"Dodge it Herdier and use tackle."

The tackle hits but it does not not do a lot of damage to the Poliwhirl.

"Try it again Herdier tackle."

"Poliwhirl use brick break one more time."

"This time the brick break hits and actually takes Herdier out.

"Herdier is unable to battle, Poliwhirl wins." said the ref.

"That was quick. You have this determined or will to just win." said Lilly.

"Thanks" said Katie.

"I find that quite impressive about you my dear but you still have my last pokemon. Return Herdier and go Blissey." said Lilly.

"I will stick with Poliwhirl" said Katie.

"Blissey use hyper beam."

"Dodge it Poliwhirl and use brick break."

At the beginning Poliwhirl manged to dodge the hyper beam but as he got closer to the Blissey he was hit with the hyper beam not the full power of it but was still hit with hit. The attack knocks out the Poliwhirl.

"Poliwhirl is unable to battle, Blissey wins" said the ref.

"You did great Poliwhirl return and go Servine."said Katie.

"Servine hit the Blissey with leaf tornado."

The attack hits the Blissey and forces her to one knee.

"Blissey come on get up we have a battle to win" said Lilly.

"I am going to win this battle." said Katie.

"Blissey use flamethrower."

The attack hits Servine and causes Servine to be burned. The burn hurts the Servine. Now the Servine begins to glow.

"It is using Overgrow" said Lilly.

"I must be able to use this attack better than Cole or the same result will happen" said Katie to herself.

"Are you going to be able to use this?"asked Lilly.

"Servine use leaf blade."

"Blissey use flamethrower one last time."

The leaf blade hits as well as the flamethrower. The flamethrower causes the Servine to faint while the leaf blade does a lot of damage to the Blissey.

"Servine is unable to battle, Blissey wins." said the ref.

"You did your best Servine, return, and go Eevee." said Katie.

"An Eevee?" asked Lilly.

"Yes I have one" said Katie.

"Lets go then" said Lilly.

"I will do this quickly. Use hyper beam."

"Use dig Eevee."

The Eevee manged to dodge the hyper beam by using dig. Minutes later the Eevee hits the Blissey with dig.

"Now Eevee use bite "

The bite hits the Blissey and the Blissey also flinches.

"Eevee use dig one last time."

The Eevee uses dig and goes underground.

"Ok I just need to guess where it is going to pop up" said Lilly.

Just then Eevee dig up right under Blissey and sends Blissey onto her back. The Blissey cannot go on. It is unable to battle.

"Blissey is unable to battle, Eevee wins, Katie is the winner" said the ref.

The two trainers walk to the center of the arena.

"Good job you earned this badge" said Lilly handing Katie the normal badge.

"Yes I won the normal badge" said Katie.

"So that Eevee, What is your plan to evolve it into?" asked Lilly.

"I am not sure yet" said Katie.

"Ok" said Lilly.

Katie returns to her sister and Brady and joins them in the bleachers.

"It looks like I am up" said Emma walking down to the arena.

"Yes you are so once I get my pokemon healed we can battle." said Lilly who left again to heal.

(Pokemon Battle Emma vs. Lilly)

"I have three pokemon" said Emma.

"Ok that is fine so you and I will have a 3 on 3 pokemon battle" said Lilly.

They both take their spots and get ready for their battle.

"Go Cinccino" said Lilly.

"Go Ducklett" said Emma.

"Ducklett use bubblebeam."

"Dodge it Cinccino and use sing."

"Ducklett we have to stop that attack" said Emma.

The Cinccino begun to sing. The Ducklett used water pulse to stop the sing. The water pulse does some damage to the Cinccino.

"Good job Ducklett. Now use Aerial Ace on the Cinccino" said "Emma.

The aerial ace hits the Cinccino and the Cinccino cannot use an attack.

"The Cinccino is unable to battle, Ducklett wins." said the ref.

"Return Cinccino and go Herdier" said Lilly.

"Ok return Ducklett and go Herdier" said Emma.

"So this is a battle of Herdiers" said Lilly.

"Herdier use take down" said Emma.

"You use it too Herdier" said Lilly.

Both attacks hit each others pokemon. They both took damage from the take down.

"Herdier use crunch." said Lilly

"Use take down Herdier" said Emma.

Emma's Herdier hits Lilly's and her Herdier takes damage from the attack. So did Emma's Herdier.

"Herdier use take down" said Lilly.

"Use it too Herdier" said Emma.

The same result from before happened and both attacks hit their targets but did damage to each other. Both pokemon fainted from the attack.

"Both pokemon have fainted, so there are no winners" said the ref.

"It looks like I am down to my last pokemon" said Lilly.

"I have two more" said Emma.

"Ok return Herdier and go Blissey" said Lilly.

"You return Herdier and go Combusken" said Emma.

"Blissey use protect."

"Use brick break Combusken."

The Blissey's protect was shattered and the Blissey took some damage as well to the Blissey.

"Blissey use flamethrower."

"Dodge it Combusken and use double kick."

The Double kick did a massive amount of damage to Blissey. The Blissey manages to get up and continue.

"Blissey use egg bomb."

"Dodge it and use double kick one more time."

The double kick again hits the Blissey and does more damage. This time the Blissey did not continue and fainted.

"Blissey is unable to battle, Combusken wins. Emma is the winner." said the ref.

Emma and Lilly walk to the center of the arena. Katie and Brady walk down the bleachers and join Emma in the center of the arena.

"Good job you deserve this" said Lilly handing Emma the Normal Badge.

"Thank you and yes I won the Normal Badge" said Emma.

"Now from here is Nashville TN to the 3rd gym. Her name is Zoe and she loves bug pokemon. So good luck there and your future endeavors." said Lilly.

"Ok" said the three walking out.

"I guess its best we head back to the hotel" said Brady.

The three walk back to the hotel and decided they will leave in the morning.

(At the Hotel Lobby)

"I guess we better est up since tomorrow is a long day having to start walking toward Nashville" said Brady.

"I can agree with you on that" said Emma.

They each head to their rooms and went to bed.

"Thank you Roger" said Andrew.

"When did you get here?" asked Mr. Goodsworth.

"Last night I went from the airport to the hotel and went to bed" said Andrew.
