Part: 7


"You're On!" I call to the Gym Leader. "Go Charizard!" (A/n- Charizard came back.) 

"In that case go ARCANINE!" The gym leader Dhani. Fire on fire. Water on water. 
Electric on electric. Three on three Pokemon battle. I was going to win this one! Only one 
person battling was allowed at a time so Alec went to search for Pokemon in the woods. 

"Charizard use your flamethrower!" Fire came bursting out of his mouth towards the big 
fire dog. It missed.

"ARCANINE, USE YOUR AGILITY!" Dhani yelled.

"Charizard, FLY!" Charizard went into the air, circling Arcanine underneath him at least 
forty feet. "Arcanine, stay still and use Agility when Charizard comes down for the kill! 
The dog barked in reply to it's master.

I wandered for a moment. This would be tricky. I closed my eyes and thinked. Finally I 
had a good idea.

"CHARIZARD, FIRE SPIN AND DIVE IN AND HIT AFTER THE FIRE GOES 
DOWN!" Chairzard nodded. That way Arcanine wouldn't have a chance to get away. Fire 
came shooting out of Charizard's mouth and aimed right at Arcanine.

"ARCANINE, NO!" Dhani called out. The burning red and orange fire surrounded the 
Arcanine. As soon as the fire died away Charizard dived in and made a direct hit. Arcanine 
was defeated.

"Great job Charizard!" I called him back to his pokeball. 

"Okay Arcanine, good try!" Dhani called his Arcanine back and glared at me. "Good job 
Ash but I don't think you will be beating this one. "Go Quagsire!" My eyes widened. This 
was going to be a tough battle.

"GO CROCANAW!" The water reptile came out of his Pokeball looking pumped. 
"Crocanaw, use your Water Gun!" Streams of water shoots at Quagsire. When it hits it 
only knocks over Quagsire. He immeadiatly gets up and shoots a hydro pump! It doesn't 
miss. Crocanaw stands back up weakly.

Crocanaw is close to being defeated but maybe one more move could come out of him 
and maybe I would win. 

"Crocanaw! SLASH ATTACK, NOW!" Crocanaw tries his best to get Quagsire, no avail. 
"Quagsire, use your dig!" Dhani calls. I watch as Quagsire goes underground for a 
moment. Soon he pops back up and hits Crocanaw right on the spot. 

"Crocanaw, return! Go Pikachu!" 

"Pikachu!" He calls in his cute baby voice. 

"Return Quagsire! Go Jolteon!" Dhani calls as a Jolteon appears into the ring. "Jolteon, 
AGILITY!" 

"YOU TOO PIKACHU!" The two electric types start out with their agility. It is easy to 
see that Pikachu is much faster. When I can see that Jolteon is getting very tired I 
command Pikachu to use a tackle attack. 

"Pikachu, tackle!" Pikachu charges at Jolteon and makes a hit. "NOW PIKACHU, 
FINISH IT OFF WITH A THUNDER!" Bolts of electricity crakle out of Pikachu's cheeks 
and aim at Jolteon who is scared stiff. The electric attack surrounds Jolteon as it falls to 
the ground, fainted.

"YEAH, WE DID IT!" Dhani calls back his Jolteon. "Good job, Ash!" Dhani compliments 
me and hands me the Lasana Badge. I take it and do my victory sign.

I headed to the Pokemon Centre, to get my Pokemon healed. Before I do though I show 
Alec my Lasana Badge and tell him good luck.

"Thanks, I'll need it." Alec headed into the Pokemon Gym. 

Pikachu walks by my side, looking a bit tired. I pick him up in my arms and I take him to 
the Pokemon Centre. 

I walk down the sidewalk. The city is not very quiet now. It is rush hour and there are 
hundreds of cars on the road heading to work. 

"HEY LOSER!" I turn around to see Gary. I roll my eyes and walk up to him. "Hey Gary. 
Just don't say my name that loud, okay!?" I say a little coldly. 

"Sure Loser!" I could feel my temper rising.

"Where are your little buddies, huh Loser?" 

"NONE OF YOUR BEESWAX!" I say and stomp off. I hated beign called loser. And I 
hated Gary anyways so there was no reason being around him. Before I was out of earshot 
I heard Gary mutter something. "I want blonde hair! But Noooo, my mom won't let me."  
I snickered.
