Pewter City Gym CLOSED

Caleb recently healed his two Pokemon (Plus his lately caught Sunflora nicknamed Flora) and made his way over to the Pewter city Gym. He gazed up at the rock-shaped building which was home to Rock-type Pokemon. My Grass and Water types should be easy against his Rock/Ground types, he thought. He hesistated for a little while, but shook off all of the fear when he thought of his type-advantages. He pushed a heavy wooden door which led him into a dark empty looking room. The door slammed shut behind him which made him jump. "Hello? I'm here to challenge Brock to a battle so I can get a Gym badge!" Caleb shouted into the empty void, waiting for someone to answer.

OOC: Do you like how I worded some of it?

OOC: Yep cool start!

IC:
::As you shout out into the darkness as if it was rigged to happen bright lights came on overhead blinding you for they were as bright as the midday sun. As a voice called out to you while you where blinded. "So you want to battle me do you? Well then let's get things started then!" He said for it was the voice of the famous Brock the Pewter city Gym Master. As a stadium lay before covered with a rough landscape of a mountain side with boulders littering the gym floor and parts of earth as if he had taken a piece of the mountain and laid it there. And he stood there waiting and ready to get the duel over with.::

"Okay, then let's." Caleb said. "Come on out, Sunflora!" He picked Flora from his belt and threw it into the air. The Pokeball hit the ground and let out a Sunflora. Caleb waited for Brock to send out his.

::Brock saw the sunflora and was confused wondering if this trainer knew that grass wouldn't do that much to his pokemon, but looks could be decieving as he threw out a pokeball as it hit and a Geodude exploded out of it. "Alright then now that we both have our pokemon out let's get started!" ::

"Sunflora, Razor leaf on the Geodude!" Caleb said.

::This time the leaves with their razor sharp edges rained on the geodude and cut into his rock body as it was damaged by them. No injured and some of his energy taken away he countered with another Rock Throw as boulders flew again towards the sunflora as a couple hit it.::

He saw that the Rock Throw's boulders damaged Sunflora. He knew Absorb could heal Flora back up. "Flora, use Absorb to damage the Geodude and heal your health!" Caleb shouted.

;;Flora uses Absorb as it draws life out of the geodud and is transferred into the sunflora as she gains what was lost by the rock throw. Brock seeing that this wasn't going very good, but he didn't want to stop right in the middle as he commanded Geodud to use Rollout for he had gained a TM that had that and knew it would be handy to have. As the geodude balled itself up and rolled towards the sunflora as fast as it could.::

Flora saw the attack coming and leapt half into the air- and got knocked down by the attack. "Flora, get ready to dodge another Rollout. I know what Brock is up to." Caleb said. Flora understood and hid behind one of the rock formations in the battlefield.

::The geodude came back around and ran smack into the rock formation that you whre hiding behind and injured itself in the process. The geodude was failing in health and would eventually faint sooner or later. It was upto the battle to find out if he would or if the sunflora would.::

The Sunflora leaped from the top the rock and let out a Razor Leaf down at the Geodude. "FLORAA!" she said.

::The attack was full force and right on top of the geodud creating a critical hit as each one hit he was drained of energy until he finally fainted for lack of energy. Flora earned a level for defeating the geodude. As Brock gives a look of what could be sympathy he returns geodude to the pokeball and put it away as he brought out another pokeball which held another one ofhis prized pokemon. "Go Rock!" as it opened and a flash of white ligh exposed a graveler which was the evolved form of the geodude which had just been defeated. "Now let's see if you can defeat this one!" he said with an excitement as the graveler looked at the litle sunflora which had revealed herself from behind the rock formation and was on top. As he meet eyes and became enraged as if it wanted to battle so eagerly.::

Caleb checked his Pokedex for a brief second. "GRAVELER, a Rock/Ground-type POKEMON. It is the evolved stage of GEODUDE. It travels by rolling on mountain paths. If it gains too much speed, it stops by running into huge rocks. It's special Rock-type move is ROCK THROW." the Pokedex said. "I already know what Rock Throw does. I might have an idea. Sunflora, stand in front of the rock and wait until the Graveler attacks you. Move out of the way if the Graveler uses an attack. Maybe the Graveler will hurt himself by smashing into the rocks if he uses Rollout." Caleb said, trying not to let Brock hear his plan.

::Brock was curious to find out what the young trainer would do against this one for it was stronger than the last one. "Alright Rock let's get this started off right! Use Rock Slide!" He commanded the graveler as he did so and a ton of rocks seemed to slide across the landscape towards the sunflora who was standing in front of another boulder which would probably crumble against these rocks as they slid forward. Along with the graveler running or should we say rolling forward to the sunflora with all of these rocks following him. It was like a giant landmass was coming to meet this little grass pokemon.::

ooc: what ya think scared?

OOC: *shivers* poor flora.

IC: Sunflora's eyes widened as the rocks fell towards her. She used a Razor Leaf to try to block some off, but only protected from a few. "Uh-oh. Can you hang in there?" Caleb asked. Sunflora nodded and waited orders. "Use an Absorb on the Graveler to heal yourself and attack him!" Caleb said.

::The sunflora is pelted by the remaining rocks and the graveler itself as the attack ends and the graveler returns back to where it was before hand you use Absorb taking energy from the graveler itself as it became less energetic, but not by mcuh for you hadn't taken that much energy. AS it prepared to use another attack this time it would be Earthquake which was a powerful attack and yet another one that would be nearly impossible to escape as it prepared by gathering the energy needed for the attack.::

"Watch out Flora!" Caleb shouted. Flora jumped onto a nearby rock to save herself from the attack. The quake made the rock tremble and Flora fell off. Dazed from the attack, Flora used a Razor Leaf with her remaining strength...

::AS the sunflora is feeling weak it uses RAzor leaf as many leaves spring from her and going flying like boomarangs towards the great graveler as some cut it up while others just pass him by as he tries to dodge them. As it replies with Rock Throw as rocks go flying towards you about to slam into the sunflora.::

The rocks hit hit Sunflora and Caleb called her back into the Pokeball. "You need a rest. Come on, Squirt!" he said, as he threw Squirt's Pokeball into the air, and Squirt appeared. "Squirt use a Bubble!" Caleb said. Squirt unleashed a long line of bubbles at the Graveler.

::Brock and the graveler both see that you changed pokemon in the middle as Rock was wondering what could be next which when he realized it was going to be a water pokemon he knew that this trainer was finally using its human brain and not being dumb. As the line of bubbles stream towards the graveler as tehy impacted into the hard rock body it injured the graveler gravly as it was weakened. It unleashed another Rock slide as the rocks and itself came rolling towards squirtle in a fast surge.::

"Squirt, go into your shell!" Caleb said. Squirt popped into his shell and skidded across the mountain terrain, (Also hitting alot of boulders) and popped out safe from the rock slide. Squirt was a little dizzy, and he shot out a Bubble towards the Graveler.

OOC: Can you tell Brock for me that Grass, Water, and Fighting types are effective against Rock/Ground types?

::The graveler somewhat knew that it would be another water attack and so it dodged out of the way fo the attack being barely missed as the bubbles blow past him. And he prepares to use Earthquake once more as he jumps up and lands on the ground making a loud noise and the ground shakes around the gym. Making mostly everything shake.::

"Here comes another one!" Caleb yelled over the loud noise. Squirt couldn't think of anything to save him from the 'quake, except by jumping onto a nearby rock, like Flora did. He jumped on the rock, which shattered from the noise, and the rumble. Squirt fell on the ground, and got up; he was just getting started. Though dizzier that ever, Squirt let out a Bubble attack towards the Graveler.

OOC: I'm not cheating too much am I?- like saying Squirt is dodging all these moves...

ooc: just as long as you let a few come through, but besides that its quite alright! lol!

IC:
::The graveler laughed at the tiny turtle when he had done the same exact thing that the other pokemon had done he thought that the squirtle would get hurt the same way as the toher did. Although was a little surprised when nothing had happened and the spring of bubbles came his wya he was cuaght off guard and was hit directly it was a critical hit. the graveler keeled over he had fainted from the attack. Squirtle gains a level for defeating the graveler as Brock returns graveler and brings out his final pokemon as a final pokeball is thrown out and a hug steelix formed out of it as it towered over the tiny squirtle and its brilliant bright body showed itself as the lights bounced off of it. And it looked down at the squirtle ready to duel.::

He saw the big Steelix towering above Squirt. Squirt gulped. He pulled out a Pokedex to identify it. "STEELIX, a Steel-type POKEMON and the evolved form of ONIX. Its body has been compressed deep under the ground. As a result, it is even harder than a diamond. It's steel defense and attack are deadly." the Pokedex said. "You can do it! Use a Bubble near his eyes to blind it! Then use some more Bubbles to weaken it!" Caleb said.

::As the stream of bubbles stream upwards to try and destroy this great giant of steel it moves making it attack only its body as it is weakend by the stream and uses Wrap using his steel coils to coil around the tiny turtle to bind him to its strong tail as it looks at it and the energy is drained from it as the attack goes on.::

Caleb saw that Squirt couldn't move a leg or arm, but he could move a mouth to use a Bubble. "Squirt, try to attack the Steelix with a Bubble hard so it will loosen the grip!" Caleb said.

::The Squirtle moved its head upward and unleashed an amount of water straight into the steelix as the water gushed out and hit it full in the face as it moves its head in agony its grip is lost and the squirtle is dropped from high from the stellix's coils as it backs away hurt from the blast. As the giant snake of steel shakes its head making the water escape its gaze it finally sees again and uses Iron tail as he starts to energize itself and the coils of its tail become even harder and is in the motion of impacting it into the tiny turtle....::

"Squirt, Withdraw!" Caleb said. Squirt used a Withdraw which he hid in his shell, and the Iron Tail attack hit him across the room like a baseball. Squirt's shell hit a wall and he popped out. Dizzier more than ever, Squirt looped around and used a Bubble near the Steelix.

ooc: Batters up!

IC:
::The steelix saw the squirtle fly through inside the shell he was disappointed in not hitting it outside the shell, but was still a little succesful and glad at himself forhe made it fly and hit a ruddy wall. As he prepared for what was to come which was another lousy Bubble attack as it hit the steelix as it weakened it even more as it used Rock throw making boulders the size of baseballs as they where flung towards the squirtle.::

OOC: Squirt steps up to the plate...

IC: "Squirt, use a Bubble to break them!" Caleb said. Since they were a small size, Squirt use a Bubble to break them up. "Now use...Bubble!" Caleb shouted.

::The squirtle used buble which kept a few away, but they where as tough as nails and some just were so stubborn and didn't break, but hit the tiny turtle instead as they robbed him of his strength. After which usinganother bubble attack at the steelix it bounced off of its strong metallic body as it used Iron Tail this time nailing the squirtle head on as it was flung like a baseball being hit. AS the giant steel monster laughed meniacally at the scene that had just unfolded.::

OOC: Waiiiiit, I don't have a potion! dur.

IC: Squirt looked weaker and weaker. "Squirt, use Withdraw to build up some defense power! Then go into your shell and circle around the Steelix to make it dizzy and confused!" Caleb said. Brock has definitely raised his Pokemon well. This battle is tougher than I thought it would be, he thought. If Squirt cant beat it, Flora's Grass-type moves won't stand a chance against this Steelix.

::The squirtle survives awhile in his shell as the steelix tries various ways to get him out. While the defense of the pokemon grew til it couldn't grow anymore. Finally the steelix was starting to get weak cause of the hard work it had tried to break this shell that was for some reason it was breathing really hard because of the work it had done.::

"Squirt, I think you tired it! Use a Bubble to tire it some more!" Caleb said.

::The steelix was annoyed that this little squirtle had evaded him by hiding in a ruddy shell as he sulks on this he is surprised by a straight shot right in the face the little guy had used buble and it was a critical hit as he laid there still for a little while. While you and squirtle both think that it had fainted which it hadn't it was just laying there for a tiny bit. When he knew that he would havethe upper hand by using bind once more capturing the tiny guy in his metal clutches yet again....::

"Squirt, use another Bubble and aim near the eyes again!" Caleb said.

::The steelix knew this was starting to get predictable for the tiny squirtle only had one water attack against him. AS it started to go for it which was a mistake for him. As he was hit head on by another bubble attack as it crashed down to the earth with a big thud it had finally fainted from the duel and Brock was finally out of pokemon. As he returns his prized pokemon now turned to ruins and congratulates you for winning against him and hands you the "boulder" badge and $1400 winnings.::

"We did it Squirt!" Caleb shouted. He gleamed happily (Not too much, he felt kind of bad for Brock) and returned Squirt to his Pokeball. "Thank you Brock. That was certainly quite a battle. Even though my Pokemon had advantages, you fought fiercely back. This will be a battle I will never forget!! So long!" Caleb said. He shook Brock's hand and went out the door with his new badge. And the first badge. This was only one small step for Caleb's journey. New mysteries, dangers, adventures, and much more awaited Caleb and his small friends. He was on his way to become a Pokemon Master!

OOC: I made the ending exciting. Continued in Buy: Supplies for the road.

ooc: don't forget to go to "Pokecenter" to heal up your pokemon!
