Boulder Bash

It begins in Pewter City, after the incident in the Viridian Forest, as Reshon, Norman, and Michelle landed in the center of the city.

"Man," Norman began," I wish you would've shown us earlier that you had a flying-type pokemon, Michelle." "We could've been out of that forest," Norman complained as he returned his two butterfrees Flutter and Breeze back into their pokeballs.

"Well, I thought the same thing about you," Michelle yelled back as she returned her Aerodactyl, Aero, to its pokeball." "Plus, you should be thankful." "You wouldn't have been able to save that Pichu if we hadn't been suck in that forest for so long."

"That true," Reshon chimed in as she released her Black Dratini from its golden pokeball. Then Reshon swept Black Dratini off of the ground, and place her unto the purple backpack on her back. "But, I'm not sure if I would consider that a good thing, since it is continuously shocking you, Norman."

"Yeah, but Pichu is really cute," Norman responded as he twisted his head so he could look at the cute little pokemon sleeping in its home made carrying bag made out of vines.

"Well, enough of the small talk," Michelle butted in. "I need to heal my pokemon, so we can continue on to Mount Moon."

"Huh!" Norman remark in surprise," but isn't there a Gym here?" "I thought that after you get through the Viridian Forest you should be directly in Pewter City." "The home of the boulder badge, and the rock hard pokemon," Norman questioned as Michelle turned and looked at Norman in acknowledgement.

"Yes, all those things are true," Michelle began as she pushed some of her braids out of face," but I don't want to go for the badge here, yet."

"Well, that doesn't matter," Reshon yelled! "Me and Norman can still try for the badge here, and you can still heal your pokemon and get ready for the trip to Mount Moon."

"Yeah, Reshon is right, Michelle." "You can just watch us battle, or you can wait for us at the Pokemon Center, but I need to battle here." " I only have three badges," Norman yelled as he opened up his black jacket to reveal a blue shirt underneath with three shining badges on it. "See, I have the Rainbow badge," Norman replied as he pointed to a multi-colored leaf shape badge. "A Cascade badge," he then pointed to a blue badge shaped like a drop of water, and the Marsh badge. "So if I defeat the Pewter City Gym I will receive my fourth badge."

"Well if I win," Reshon started," we will win my first badge." "Isn't that right Black Dratini?"

"Dratini!" Black Dratini answered as she slithers onto the top of Reshon's head.

"Alright, since you babies want to make such a big fuss about it lets go to the Pewter Gym," Michelle signed in a defeated tone. "Follow me!"

So, the trio left the center of the city, and made their way to the cities' western border. Here they approached a huge gym colored complete in gray.

"This is Pewter City Gym," Michelle said in not too excited way. "Home to Brown the master of rock type pokemon!"

"Huh, Michelle," Reshon question," How did you know that?"

"Oh, I have been here before," Michelle answered quickly.

"Ok," Reshon replied as Norman walked up to the door and pushed it open.

"Welcome," a voice yelled as the trio walked slowly into the room. "I guess you have come to battle me," the voice continued as they walked down the hall and into the battle arena. "If so go to the center of this room, and wait for me to come down there." Norman and Reshon nodded their heads at each other as they both walk toward the center of the road.

"Wow, look at this place!" "It's huge," Reshon commented as they walked into the center of the arena.

The arena they was in was a lot like the one in Viridian, except for the fact that the ground was covered with rocks and had three huge boulders sticking out of the ground. This was the perfect place for a rock-type pokemon, and Norman and Michelle knew this. As for Reshon, she was thinking that this guy had gone a little overboard with his obsession with rocks.

"Are you ready," a mysterious voice boomed," because ready or not here I come!" Suddenly a man dropped from the ceiling, and landed right in front of them. "My name is Brown, and I am the gym leader of the Pewter City Gym, so who are you?"

"My name is Reshon," the little girl in front of him yelled as her brown eyes locked on his," and I challenge you for the boulder badge."

Then Norman butted in," and I am Norman from Celadon City." "I also challenge you to a badge battle."

"Fine, but what of your third person? Brown questioned as Michelle tried to sneak into the hallway. "Huh, Michelle is that you," Brown asked as he notices Michelle's silent retreat?"

"Heh, Heh!" Hi, Dad!" Michelle answered when she realizes she had been caught. "Dad, I haven't got all the other badges yet, and the only reason I'm here is because of my friends here."

"Is that so young lady?" "Well, I'm glad to see you all the same," Brown answered. "I guess I could let you watch me in action, but I expect that the next time we meet you and I will be having a pokemon battle," he said as he turn his back on her and faced his first opponent, Reshon. "Oh, yeah!" "Michelle, I expect to see you and your friends at dinner tonight, and I will really like it if you spend the night." "Now, to get down to business!"

He looked down at Reshon with his dark brown eyes and he place his hands in the pockets of his blue jeans pants. His black and brown cape floated slightly on a breeze, while his well-cut black hair shine in the arena's light. "Reshon, lets get this over with." "This is a two-on-two match, so I suggest you pick your best." Brown smiled as he raises his hand, and a huge Aerodactyl swept down and pick him up. The fossilized bird then dropped him off at his plate-form.

"Black Dratini," Reshon yelled," teleport!"

"Dratini!" Black Dratini yelled as she and Reshon began to glow with a whitish light. Then in a flash of light the two disappeared from their place on the ground and reappeared on the plate-form opposite of Brown.

"Nice, but simple parlor tricks will not be enough to beat me," Brown chuckled at her amazing feat. "I do have to admit that a simple paint job on your Dratini might scary some up-start, but that sort of trick has no affect on a pro like me."

"Accuse me, but this is Black Dratini's natural color," Reshon yelled back, now, let's get this battle started.

"Ahh, how impatience!" "Ok, Razor, I choose you," Brown yelled as the same Aerodactyl that had lifted him on to the plate-form dropped from the sky, and glided down to the floor."

"Fine, I choose you Blitz!" Reshon yelled as she grabbed a pokeball from her waist and threw it high into the air. The ball disappeared in the blinding light of one of the arena's lights, and the shadow of a pokemon fell to the ground. Meanwhile the pokeball had return to Reshon's hand during the amazing entrance of her first pokemon.

"Eevee!" He yelled as the small fox-like pokemon wagged his tail to and fro.

"Humph, an eevee!" "This should be easy for you, Razor," Brown chuckled as Blitz took a defense stand. "Use your Wing Attack!"

The huge fossil bird flew down straight at the poor Eevee, and began to whack it with its wings.

"Eeveeeeeeeee!" Eevee yelled as the Aerodactyl continued to whack in with its wings.

Then the bird pulled one of its wings back for a final blow against the Eevee.

"Aerrrrrrrrrrro," it yelled as it swung its wing down toward Blitz with the force of a hurricane. The hit connected with Blitz's body and sent the poor Eevee flying in the opposite direction.

"Yesssssss!" Brown yelled as the pokemon hit the ground and laid still. "That was soooo easy!" " I hope your next one does better."

"Humph, it's not over yet," Reshon yelled," Blitz use your bubblebeam attack."

Brown's Aerodactyl never even saw the water coming as the Eevee hopped to its feet and sent out a gush of bubbles which hit Razor in the back. But unlike Michelle's Onix this wasn't the end of the match Razor still had a lot of fight left in him.

"Aerooooo," it yelled as it turned to face its opponent.

"Eevee," Blitz yelled in responds to Razor's cry. It seems that the two had recognized each others strength and neither one had any plans of just giving up.

"Well, young lady it seems we might have a real match on our hands," Brown grin as his Aerodactyl began to charge up its hyperbeam attack.

"I guess so," Reshon responded back as Blitz growled loudly at its opponent. "Let's see how well your Razor handles a Blitz's Thunder," Reshon yelled as the air around her Eevee began to crackle and snap as Blitz started to draw in energy for its attack.

"Razor, use your hyperbeam attack, now!" Brown yelled as he pointed toward the Eevee.

"Blitz, combine your Thunder with a quick attack," yelled Reshon as the air around her Eevee began to sizzle.

"Eeeeeeeeve/ Aerooooooo," the two pokemon screamed together as they both released their attacks. The room was filled with a blinding light as the two powers collided together, and when the light had die down only one of the pokemon was left standing.

"Eevveee," Blitz howl as it look at its opponent lay on the ground. Blitz's fur was slightly burnt from the near miss of Razor's hyperbeam attack, but it was still very happy about its victory.

"Return, Blitz," Reshon yelled after everything was over with.

"Well, done!" "Most people think that because Aerodactyl is a rock and flying type that it has an resistance to electricity." "This is not true, good job, but I have saved the best for last," Brown laughed as he returned his pokemon to its pokeball.

Meanwhile on the ground below Norman and Michelle watched the battle.

"She was luck that that attack work, huh, Norman," Michelle asked as she sat down to watch the watch the rest of the match.

"Probably so, but if you haven't notice she seems to get luck a lot," Norman answer as Michelle turn toward him.

"What do you mean?" Michelle asked.

"Well, no matter how hard I try to beat her in a pokemon battle," Norman began," she seems to beat me." "Almost as if she had some sort of edge on me." "I mean this is the same girl that had no idea what a Gym was before she meet me, yet she seems to be unbeatable in a pokemon match." "I bet that time she faced you in the Viridian Forest she totally creamed your pokemon."

"Humph, that not true!" "I defeated her Eevee," Michelle yelled at Norman angrily.

"But not before she defeated your Onix, and then she totally humiliated your Nidoking with her Black Dratini." "So judging from past experience I would say that Gym leader Brown doesn't have a chance if she calls out Black Dratini," Norman remarked.

"You're wrong, Norman," Michelle screamed at him. "Reshon is the one who is going to lose if Dad calls out his secret weapon." "Just you watch!"

The two turns back to the arena and the fight at hand as Reshon's Black Dratini faces off against Brown's secret weapon the Crystal Onix.

"Water attack, Psychic attacks, Electric attacks, and Physical attacks are useless against him." "So Reshon, what are you going to do with your painted Dratini," Brown laughed as Reshon stared at his huge pokemon.

"Well, Black Dratini!" "It seems that I must leave it up to you this time," Reshon replied calmly to her pokemon. "Do with this Onix as you wish."

"Dratini!" Black Dratini snarled angrily as it squared off with her opponent.

"Crystal Onix," Brown yelled," use your wrap attack!"

The huge Crystal Onix's tail flew out toward the small Dratini with every intention of wrapping itself around it and squeezing it into submission, but everything didn't go to plan. As the small Dratini began to radiate with a crimson glow. The Crystal Onix's huge tail found itself wrapped around a force field of unimaginable power, and no matter how it tried the Crystal Onix couldn't release it hold on the reddish field. But Black Dratini wasn't the only one giving off a reddish glow of power. Its trainer high above on the plate-form was also giving off a reddish glow, and it seem as if the two of them was working together to hold the Onix there.

"Now, Black Dratini, use your Cosmic Void attack," Reshon yelled as the Crystal Onix began to screech in pain.

The room's lights began to break as Black Dratini began to power up her move, and soon the room was flooded by darkness that was being held at bay by the intense glow of Black Dratini and Reshon. At this moment Brown's Crystal Onix was beginning to see stars and everything was going black for it.

"Reshon, stop!" Brown yelled loudly at the opposite plate-form. "I surrender, me and Crystal Onix has had enough," he yelled when he saw how faint his Crystal Onix looked.

But Reshon and Black Dratini didn't stop, and it looked like it might had been the end for Brown's Onix. That is when the glow suddenly died down, and Reshon and Black Dratini collapsed to the ground.

"Wow," Norman commented. "I didn't know she could do that?"

"Norman, I don't think she knew she could do that either, now come on lets go check on them," Michelle finished for Norman as she grabbed his jacket's collar and drag him to his feet.

Meanwhile Brown just stared at her from his plate-form.

"Such power!" he manage to mumble," such unimaginable power." "And I don't believe she was using her full strength." "Man, my Crystal Onix was completely out of its league!" "If she wouldn't have stopped it…" "She is the one!" "I thought that old man was a crack pot, but she really is the one, so I guess trouble will be dropping in on us real soon." "I just hope things come out rose," Brown signed as he recalled his Crystal Onix and stumble to the aid of the now unconscious pokemon and girl.

For them this was going to be a long day as Pichu woke up and in a raging fit shocks Norman five times before they manages to get Black Dratini and Reshon to bed.

"Uh, Norman, why don't you use Michelle's old carrying straps inside of that old vine carrier," Brown advised. "Since it is made out of rubber you shouldn't get shock as much."

"Thanks," Norman said as he received another thundershock from the now screaming Pichu on his back.
