Episode Forty-Two

Last time, our heroes decided to pay a visit to Professor Oak at his lab. There, Amanda found out that Gary had just become the new leader of the Viridian City gym. Team Rocket also tried to attack with fake bombs, but their plans were once again thwarted, and Abra evolved as well. Now, Amanda has a new Pokemon by her side, which is certainly very exciting.

As Amanda's Pokemon travels continue, we find our three heroes casually on their way to Viridian City.

"This is certainly a familiar spot, isn't it, Pikachu?" Amanda asked.

"Pika pi!" Pikachu cried, which meant 'This is where we started our journey.'

"That's right." Said Amanda. "It feels nice walking down Route One again."

"What is it about this route that brings back memories for you?" Michelle asked.

"I caught my first few Pokemon on this route." Said Amanda. "This is where I got Pidgey, Rattata, Magikarp and Fearow back when it was a Spearow. I just wish that for once, Fearow would listen to me, though."

"Never mind that right now." Said Mark. "You have a huge gym battle coming up that's very important."

"That's right." Said Amanda. "If I win this match, I'll be able to get into the Pokemon League. I'll have to beat Gary in order to do that, though."

"We don't even know if Gary uses any specific types." Said Michelle.

"Which means we'll have to stay on our toes at all times." Said Amanda. Of course, every path that's walked on has its' fair share of challenges, and as they continued onward toward Viridian, they ran into a boy slightly younger than Amanda. He had a dark blue vest on over top of a white button shirt, khaki shorts and brown shoes.

"You look like a worthy challenger for me." He said. "I'd love it if you could have a battle with me."

"What do you think, Pikachu?" asked Amanda. Pikachu nodded in approval.

"How many Pokemon are we going to use?" Amanda asked.

"How does two each sound?" the boy asked.

"That's fine with me." Said Amanda. They took their positions to begin the battle.

"Try to make this quick, Amanda. We have to get to Viridian before the gym closes for the day." Said Michelle.

"I'll try, but I can't promise anything." Said Amanda. They boy nodded and threw his first Poke Ball.

"I choose you, Meowth!" he cried. The small scratch cat Pokemon appeared instantly.

"All right, Pikachu, let's do this!" Amanda cried. Pikachu jumped off her shoulder and onto the field ready for battle.

"Meowth, use your Scratch attack!" the boy ordered. Meowth's sharp claws appeared and he made a run at Pikachu.

"Pikachu, use Agility now!" Amanda ordered. Pikachu nodded and ran at lightning speed to avoid being hit with Meowth's claws.

"That Pikachu's pretty good." The boy observed. "But let's see how it handles what I'm about to do next. Meowth, Fury Swipes attack!" Meowth started to swipe at Pikachu's body.

"Dodge it, Pikachu!" Amanda yelled. Pikachu calmly moved back and fourth to doge the attack attempt.

"Pikachu's moving really well today." Michelle observed.

"I guess that Pokemon food that Brock gave it increased his speed a little bit." Said Mark. "That'll serve Amanda well when the time for the Pokemon League comes around." Pikachu and Meowth continued their battle, with both trying to get the upper hand on the other.

"Use your Slash attack now, Meowth!" the boy called. Meowth hissed and ran up to Pikachu ready to slash it.

"Pikachu, look out!" Amanda cried. Pikachu managed to jump out of the way in time and stood behind Meowth with a smirk on his face.

"Launch your Thunderbolt attack!" Amanda ordered. Pikachu got himself ready to unleash a lightning strike.

"Pay Day!" the boy called. Before the attack could be performed, however, Meowth was quickly zapped by Pikachu's electricity, leaving it completely dizzy and confused.

"Oh no!" the boy cried. Amanda gave a smile.

"Quick Attack, now!" she ordered. Pikachu ran at full speed and knocked Meowth onto the grass, causing the feline Pokemon to faint.

"Meowth, say something!" the boy cried. Michelle ran over and inspected Meowth before nodding her head.

"Meowth is unable to battle. Pikachu is the winner!" she called.

"Yes! One down and one to go." Said Amanda. The boy recalled Meowth and grabbed another Poke Ball.

"Looks like now's the time to send out my strongest Pokemon. Go!" he said as he threw the ball. A Venusaur popped out and hovered over Pikachu, causing the electric type to get intimidated.

"A Venusaur." Amanda observed. "Be careful, Pikachu! This one won't be as easy!" Pikachu nodded and stared down at the grass type.

"Venusaur, use your Razor Leaf attack!" the boy called. Venusaur shot green leaves out of his bulb and shot them at Pikachu. While he was quick enough to dodge most of them, a few of them still hit him.

"Pikachu, shake those leaves off." Said Amanda. Pikachu shook his body to get rid of the leaves.

"Great. Now use your Thunder attack at full power!" Amanda ordered. Pikachu unleashed a strong bolt of thunder at Venusaur, but the grass type ran fast to avoid the attacks. Pikachu kept aiming, but Venusaur was too quick.

"Electric attacks aren't working!" Amanda cried. "Pikachu, try something else!"

"Pika!" Pikachu cried, which meant 'Which attack should I go for?'

"Try a Mega Kick!" Amanda ordered. Pikachu nodded and gave Venusaur a swift kick. Unfortunately, the attack didn't do anything and Venusaur kept charging hard.

"Finish it!" the boy ordered. Venusaur rammed right into Pikachu and slammed the electric type onto the grass.

"Pikachu!" Amanda cried. Pikachu struggled to get up, but collapsed.

"And this battle is all tied up." Said the boy. Amanda scooped up her best friend and put him in front of a tree.

"You did your best, Pikachu, and I'm very proud of you." She said. She then placed Elekid beside him.

"You two can play with each other while I finish this match." She said. Michelle's Eevee ran up to them to keep them both company.

"Well, miss, what's it going to be for your last Pokemon?" the boy asked. Amanda quickly grabbed a ball off her waist.

"I don't know if you've ever seen this one before, but if not, then you're about to get a real treat." She said.

"I wonder what she could possibly mean by that." Said Michelle. It then dawned on her, and she and Mark quickly put their heads together.

"No, Amanda! Don't!" they both cried.

"I choose you, Fearow!" she yelled. The powerful bird Pokemon instantly appeared in a blaze of light and screeched loudly at Venusaur.

"Flying types have a strong advantage over a grass type. This should be an automatic win." Said Amanda.

"But Fearow doesn't do anything you ask it to." Said Michelle.

"Yeah, what makes you think this time will be different?" asked Mark.

"I just have a feeling." Said Amanda. "Okay, Fearow, charge in and strike for a Wing Attack!" While Fearow did fly in close as ordered, he tried to peck at Venusaur's head instead.

"What are you doing, Fearow? I didn't say to use Peck!" Amanda cried out.

"You must be a lousy trainer if your Pokemon won't even listen to you." The boy said.

"For your information, I have seven gym badges, and I've battled plenty of other trainers already!" Amanda retorted back. "That's not lousy in my book!"

"I beg to differ." Said the boy. "Venusaur, use your Vine Whip attack!" Venusaur shot out its vines and aimed them at Fearow, who effortlessly flew out of the way with Agility to avoid them.

"I guess that's a good sign, except I didn't tell you to do anything that time!" Amanda cried.

"Wow, Fearow is being completely disobedient." Said Mark.

"I keep telling her not to use it, but she's too stubborn to listen." Said Michelle, and she let out a sigh.

"Fearow, use Hyper beam!" Amanda cried. This time, however, Fearow ignored the instruction and fired bright yellow stars instead. Venusaur just absorbed the hit like it was nothing. Fearow screeched loudly and tried again, only for the same result.

"Fearow, that's not going to work! You have to try something else!" cried Amanda. "Use your Whirlwind!" Fearow continued to do what it wanted, however, and just flew circles around Venusaur.

"Fearow, please battle the way I'm telling you to." Said Amanda. "Hyper Beam right now, and that's an order!" However, Fearow flew down to the ground and just stood in front of the large grass type choosing not to do anything. Amanda growled, but the boy just sighed.

"I don't have time to just stand here and wait for that big bird of yours to get its act together." He said. "Venusaur, finish it with Solar Beam." Venusaur's bulb started to glow brightly, making Amanda gasp.

"Solar Beam is Venusaur's most powerful attack!" she cried. "Fearow, quick, fly out of the way!" However, Fearow turned its head away from Amanda and just stood where it was.

"Fearow, you need to listen to me right now!" she cried. "If that Solar Beam hits you, you're done for!" Fearow pretended that he hadn't heard and remained in place.

"Fire!" the boy cried. Venusaur launched the powerful beam and it scored a direct hit on Fearow, knocking it over and causing it to cry in pain.

"Oh no!" cried Amanda. She went to check on her powerful bird and saw that the attack had caused significant fire damage to its' left wing. Fearow screeched and screeched, which meant 'You have to do something!'

"Well, I guess this match is over." The boy said. "Great work, Venusaur." He recalled his grass type and looked at Amanda.

"I'll be glad to have a rematch with you when you learn to get that Fearow under control." He said and walked away. Amanda, Michelle and Mark just stared at Fearow with concerned looks on their faces. Conrad and Sally were watching them through their binoculars.

"So, looks like the twerp lost the match." Said Sally.

"It's all because her Fearow wouldn't listen to her." Said Conrad.

"Hard to win a battle with a Pokemon like that, but sometimes you have to lose like that to be taught a lesson." Said Sally. "Now, there's the matter of trying to steal Pikachu and Eevee. How should we go about that this time?" They looked around all over the route until they found a spot with a maze in it.

"I think we have our little plan for this one." Said Conrad. "We lure Pikachu and Eevee into the maze to separate them."

"That is one of the smartest ideas we've ever had." Said sally. "I'm glad I was the one who came up with it." Conrad cleared his throat.

"I suppose you're going to take all the credit again?" he wondered.

"Of course." Said sally. "After all, the best ideas usually come from women."

"What's that supposed to even mean?" asked Conrad.

"I'm not saying." Said Sally. "Come on, we've got work to do." Meanwhile, Amanda scooped Fearow up and started running down the road. Michelle, Mark, Pikachu, Eevee and Elekid were following close behind.

"Just hang in there, Fearow." Said Amanda. "Once we get to the Pokemon Center, I'll make sure Nurse Joy has a good look at your wing." Fearow was too weak to say anything. The trio arrived at the Pokémon Center in record time and found Nurse Joy on the phone.

"It looks like she's busy." Said Michelle.

"She can't be. This is important." Said Amanda. Joy looked at the three of them, and then back at the screen.

"I'll have to call you back later, sis." Said Joy. She hung up the phone and got back behind the counter.

"My goodness, what have we here?" she asked.

"Nurse Joy, I need you to treat my Fearow right away." Said Amanda, and she handed her Pokemon over. Joy inspected Fearow carefully and gasped when she saw the burn marks on it.

"My goodness!" she exclaimed. "How did this happen?"

"I was battling against someone's Venusaur with my Fearow, but Fearow wouldn't do anything I wanted it to do, and then it got hit very hard with a powerful Solar Beam attack." Amanda answered.

"That's why it has the burn marks." Michelle added.

"You just have to do something." Said Amanda. Joy carefully removed Fearow from Amanda's arms and placed it on a stretcher.

"I'll do whatever I can." Said Joy. "Chansey, get this Fearow into the emergency room, stat!" Chansey nodded and wheeled Fearow away. Mark, Amanda and Michelle all sat down in the lobby.

"I guess all we can do now is wait for Fearow to get better." Said Mark.

"What if the burn never goes away, though?" Amanda wondered. "What if Fearow is stuck with that permanently? What if….?"

"Pika pi!" Pikachu cried.

"I'm trying to stay calm, Pikachu." Said Amanda. "I'm just really worried about Fearow, that's all."

"We all are." Said Michelle. Even Eevee had a worried look on her face. Although she didn't exactly know Fearow that well, she was also hoping for a full recovery.

"Ele?" Elekid wondered, which meant 'Are you okay, Mama?' Amanda smiled at her little baby Pokemon.

"Don't worry, I'll be okay." She reassured him. Joy worked hard to treat Fearow properly so that the damage could be repaired. She applied all sorts of potions as well as a few burn heals. A couple of hours later, she applied the finishing touches on the procedure.

"I think that should cover everything." She said. She went out through the automatic doors into the lobby and smiled at the trio.

"How's Fearow doing, Nurse Joy?" Amanda asked.

"Fearow is starting to recover." Said Joy. "The damage it suffered was a bit less severe than I thought, but otherwise, it should be fine by tomorrow morning."

"That's great, Nursey Joy." Said Amanda. "Thank you so much."

"No problem." Said Joy. "It also helped that you brought it here right away, which is exactly what a trainer is supposed to do." She disappeared back into the recovery room, leaving the three friends on their own.

"I hope what happened will teach Fearow a valuable lesson." Said Amanda.

"We'll just have to see." Said Michelle. Amanda then spoke a bit seriously to both of her friends.

"It's nothing personal against the two of you, but I want to be alone with Fearow right now." Said Amanda.

"Pika pi?" Pikachu asked, which meant 'Can I stay with Fearow too?'

"Of course, Pikachu." Said Amanda.

"I guess that's okay." Said Michelle. "Nurse Joy, can Mark and I have a room key please?"

"Certainly, Michelle." Said Joy. She handed Michelle a key for room fourteen and she and Mark headed upstairs, with Eevee following behind. Joy allowed Amanda, Pikachu and Elekid into the recovery room and the young trainer sat down on a chair next to the bed that Fearow was resting in. Amanda sighed, and then cleared her throat.

"All right, Fearow, it's time for you and I to have a bit of a talk." She said. "First off, I'm glad your wing is starting to heal up following the attack that you took earlier. I want to preface, however, that if you had just listened to my orders, that wouldn't have happened."

"Fearow." Fearow squeaked out, which meant 'I'm sorry.'

"I accept your apology; however, I'm not finished talking yet." Said Amanda. "I remember how excited I was when I caught you as a Spearow. And then, right before you evolved, I had to save you from another Fearow because it mistakenly thought that you were its' child. Do you remember that at all?" Fearow weakly nodded his head.

"What I remember from that is that it tried to brainwash you into thinking that you weren't my Pokemon. Of course, my friends and I proved that Fearow wrong and showed it a thing or two." Said Amanda. "That was such a good day. After you became what you are right now, I thought I would have a powerful force by my side, but what I didn't expect was for you to stop taking orders. For the longest time, I just haven't been able to figure out whether it's your high level or the fact that I might not have as much trainer experience as I thought I did."

"Pikachu pika!" Pikachu cried, which meant 'Don't say that. You're an excellent trainer!'

"I know that, Pikachu, but I don't know if Fearow does." Said Amanda. Fearow turned its head toward his trainer so he could fully take in what was being said.

"I did a lot to help you out of that situation as a Spearow and this is the thanks I ended up getting. You know what that shows me, Fearow? It shows that I don't deserve to have you on my team." Said Amanda. "If you don't want to be my Pokemon anymore, I would understand, but I would also be very sad." She then let out another sigh. "Come to think of it, just the mere fact that I even brought up that topic is making me a little upset. Oh, Pikachu, what have I done to deserve all of this disrespect from Fearow?"

"Pika!" Pikachu answered, which meant 'You haven't done anything. Fearow's the one who's been mean to you.'

"I know, but I still feel like I don't deserve to have him." Said Amanda. "Where did I go wrong?" She then burst into tears and started crying.

"Pika." Pikachu thought, which meant 'She's being a little too hard on herself in my opinion, but who am I to judge?'. Fearow noticed how upset his trainer was and shook its head.

"Fearow." He said in a bit of a sad voice.

"Are you telling me to stop crying?" Amanda managed to blurt out. Fearow nodded and used his wing to wipe away the tears.

"Thanks, Fearow." Said Amanda. "I needed that."

"Pika pikachu." Pikachu added, which meant 'Not to mention, I don't think Nurse Joy would appreciate her floor getting wet from those tears.'

"You're right, Pikachu. She certainly wouldn't like that at all." Said Amanda. She hugged Fearow on his wing, but she made sure to be gentle so that she wouldn't accidentally re-injure him. She stayed in that exact position all night long and didn't move from her chair once. When the morning came, she was feeling much better. As she made and Fearow made their way out the doors to eat their breakfast, they ran into Michelle and Mark. Eevee was with them, and she gave Pikachu a high five.

"How did things go last night?" Mark asked.

"Well, things started off a little rough, but Fearow and I had a nice talk, and I think it went pretty well." Said Amanda. "We'll find out for sure later today, though." They all went to the cafeteria to have their breakfast, with Fearow perched on Amanda's shoulder the whole time. The friends even offered some bites of their food to Fearow, which he gladly accepted.

"That's certainly a good sign." Said Michelle.

"I just hope it'll finally start listening to me in battles now." Said Amanda. Once they finished the meal and left the center and Amanda had recalled Fearow to its Poke Ball, they found a sign pointing toward the west of the city.

"Funny, that sign wasn't here yesterday." Michelle observed.

"I wonder what's going on." Said Mark.

"Let's check this out." Said Amanda. They followed the arrow on the sign and found that a mini park had been set up.

"What's all of this?" Michelle wondered. Then, two people dressed in park uniforms came out to greet them.

"Welcome to the Poke Park!" they both exclaimed.

"Poke Park? What's that?" Amanda asked.

"It's a special park just for Pokemon to roam around and have fun in." said the male guide.

"And for the grand opening, we'd like to have two very special guests be the first to enjoy the park." Said the female guide. They both pointed to Amanda and Michelle's partners.

"You want Pikachu and Eevee to be your park's first guests?" Mark asked.

"That's right, young man." Said the male guide.

"What do you think, guys?" Amanda asked both Pikachu and Eevee. "Do you want to check it out?" Pikachu nodded excitedly and Eevee gave a delightful squeal.

"Looks like that's a yes." Said Michelle.

"Hold on a moment." Said Mark. "What if this is just another lame Team Rocket trap?"

"Team Rocket? Never heard of them." Said the female guide. "Now come on, Pikachu and Eevee, we don't have all day here."

"Pika pi." Said Pikachu, which meant 'Come on, Eevee, let's go.'

"Eevee!" Eevee squealed, which meant 'I'm right behind you.' The two Pokemon ran through the entrance and saw a giant maze that was shaped exactly like a Poke Ball.

"Pika?" Pikachu asked, which meant 'Are we supposed to run through this?'

"Eevee." Eevee answered, which meant 'I think so. Come on, I'll race you!'

"Pika!" Pikachu cried, which meant 'You're on!' They both ran as fast as they could to try and make it to the end first, but a short while later, the paths of the maze suddenly split apart from each other, causing Pikachu and Eevee to get separated. They tried to run back to the entrance, but the paths continued to split. That was when Pikachu noticed that something was up.

"Pikachu!" he cried, which meant 'What's going on?'

"Eevee." Eevee squealed worriedly. 'I have no idea.' Then, the maze suddenly disappeared and a giant Whack A Mole style hole opened up underground, causing both Pokemon to fall inside. Amanda, Mark and Pikachu heard their loud cries.

"Pikachu and Eevee are in trouble!" Amanda cried.

"Quick, we've got to help them!" Michelle exclaimed. The three of them ran over to where the hole had formed.

"How did this get here?" Mark wondered. The trio then heard laughter from two figures that were very familiar. The figures then unraveled their park uniforms to reveal two different but familiar uniforms that they always wore.

"Team Rocket!" The three of them cried.

"I should've known you two had something to do with this set up!" Amanda yelled.

"You better give Eevee and Pikachu back right now!" Michelle cried.

"We'd like to do that, but you see, there's one small problem." Said Sally. Their hot air balloon started to ascend off the ground and into the air, with both Pikachu and Eevee tied to a giant baseball. The two Pokemon cried loudly for help.

"Eevee!" Michelle cried.

"Pikachu, try a Thunderbolt attack!" Amanda ordered. Despite being tied up, Pikachu started to load up.

"That's not a good idea." Said Conrad, stopping Pikachu's potential attack. "If your Pikachu uses electricity, it'll trigger combustible flames from the small metal holes on the side of the pipe, thus causing both it and Eevee to be burned to a crisp."

"He's right." Said Mark. "We'll have to think of another way to get those two down." Amanda then noticed that the top of the giant ball was being held together by a piece of rope, and that gave her an idea.

"Fearow, I choose you!" she cried. The powerful flying type quickly emerged and gave out its loud cry.

"Well, here comes the test." Said Michelle.

"Fearow, do you think you can break that rope with your beak?" Amanda asked. Fearow looked up and saw the spot where Pikachu and Eevee were tied together.

"Pika!" Pikachu yelled, which meant 'Hurry!' Fearow took to the air and flew at top speed towards the baseball. A quick slash of the rope resulted in the ball dropping quickly onto the grass. Amanda and Michelle quickly untied their best friends.

"Are the two of you okay?" Amanda asked. Pikachu nodded. Fearow flew back to Amanda, and then the boy from the previous day came running onto the spot and threw one of his Poke Balls.

"Venusaur, go!" he yelled. The powerful grass type appeared and stood tall.

"I have a feeling that this isn't going to end well." Said Conrad.

"Solar Beam attack!" the boy yelled. Venusaur readied itself by starting to produce a bright light, giving Conrad and sally just enough time to scoop up the baseball. The plant Pokemon then unleashed the powerful attack at the two Team Rocket crooks, sending them upwards into the air.

"We're blasting off again!" they cried. DING!

"Great work, Venusaur." The boy said. "I heard all the commotion that was happening and decided to help out."

"We appreciate the help." Said Amanda. "Fearow also played a role too."

"I'm guessing that means you have it under control now." Said the boy. "Well, I did promise you a rematch. If you want, we can do it right now."

"That's just fine with me." Said Amanda. "I'm confident that I'm going to win this time."

"We'll see about that." Said the boy. "Now, we'll have this rematch be a simple one on one battle. My Venusaur against your Fearow."

"What do you say, Fearow?" asked Amanda. "You up for another shot at Venusaur?" Fearow nodded and flew onto the field.

"Here we go." Said Amanda.

"Venusaur, start with your Razor Leaf attack." Said the boy. Venusaur shot dark green leaves from its back.

"Quick, Fearow, dodge it with your Agility!" Amanda cried. Fearow moved swiftly to avoid each of the leaves that were sent towards it.

"Look, Michelle, Fearow's finally listening to Amanda." Mark observed.

"What a relief." Said Michelle.

"Venusaur, try a Vine Whip!" the boy ordered. Venusaur shot dark green vines out, which Fearow tried to avoid, but it flew into one by mistake and got hit.

"Fearow!" Amanda cried. "Are you all right?" Fearow nodded and stared down at Venusaur.

"Give it all you've got, Fearow!" Amanda ordered. "Use your Whirlwind!" Fearow flapped up a shot of wind and whirled it around at the grass type, knocking it back slightly.

"Great! Now, try your Wing Attack!" Amanda ordered. Fearow spread its' wings out and gave Venusaur a powerful blow. It wasn't quite enough to knock it out, though.

"Tackle it!" they boy instructed Venusaur. Venusaur ran head first and gave Fearow a football player sized tackle, sending the flying type to the ground. Fearow breathed heavily a bit before getting back up.

"That's how you do it!" cried Amanda. "Peck attack!" Fearow stuck out its beak and hit Venusaur in the head with it. While the pecks did some damage, Venusaur was still very strong.

"Body Slam it!" the boy called out. Venusaur ran and started to jump onto Fearow to slam it down, but the flying type was just as strong and quickly dodged it as per Amanda's instructions.

"All right, time for Double Team!" she yelled. Fearow made copies of himself to try and throw Venusaur off.

"Venusaur, use Vine Whip on each of them until you see the real one." The boy ordered. Venusaur used its vines repeatedly and eliminated each copy one by one until only the actual Fearow remained. Before Fearow could fly up, the vines hit Fearow's wings with a bit of force.

"That's not good." Said Michelle. "If Fearow takes any more high damage like that, it'll lose."

"Amanda better have something up her sleeve if she wants to win this match." Said Mark.

"What could I possibly do to stop Venusaur?" Amanda asked herself. "Wait, I've got it. Fearow, use your Agility to fly circles above Venusaur." Fearow flew fast and furious above the grass type, causing it to get confused and lose track of where it was.

"Oh no!" cried the boy.

"I think we have him now, Fearow." Said Amanda. "Hyper Beam attack!" Fearow opened its' beak and unleashed a powerful orange beam from his mouth, which resulted in Venusaur collapsing to the ground. He struggled to get back onto his feet, but ended up fainting.

"We did it, Fearow!" Amanda cried. "I'm so happy that you're finally listening to me!" The boy recalled Venusaur and walked over to Amanda.

"That was some awesome battling." He said. "Your Fearow's an awesome Pokemon."

"Your Venusaur did really well too." Said Amanda. The two of them shook hands and the boy went on his way. The trio then started to walk back towards Viridian City.

"It's such a relief to see Fearow actually doing what I ask of it for once." Said Amanda.

"I would certainly agree." Said Michelle. "And now, you can put all your focus on winning your final badge."

"That's right." Said Amanda. With Fearow's disobedience issue now firmly in the past, an exciting gym battle looms ahead for Amanda. Will she be able to win it? Find out in the next exciting episode!
