After a short and lucky battle at Violet city, Chavella and her team arrived in the Slowpoke town, Alazea. “Huh… We don’t need to stop to Kurt’s, so we’ll go to gym right away! OK with you, girls?” The six pokemon nodded in agreement. “Ok, let’s go!” They entered and tried to make their way in the maze… “Where can the leader be?” “Grrranbuuull!” Ida pointed in a direction. Chavella looked and saw that the leader was where Ida pointed. The leader saw them and walked in their direction. “Do you wish to have a two-versus-two battle?”, Bugsy asked while walking. “It’s ok.” “I choose Pinsir!” “Then I choose you, Marilou!” “Ooottooo!” “Pinsir, use Seismic Toss!” Pinsir tossed Marilou and then she flew up high. “Try another Seismic Toss!”, Bugsy ordered. This one missed, because Marilou was high in the sky. “Marilou, fly!” Pinsir was greatly damaged. “Use guillotine!” Pinsir dashed towards Marilou, with its pincers ready to cut her in half. “You can dodge it Marilou! Then, use wing attack!” Marilou dodged by flying behind Pinsir and then she used wing attack. Pinsir fainted. “That was fantastic, Marilou!” “Piiiid!” “Pinsir, come back! Now, Chavella, be prepared to fight my best pokemon!” Bugsy threw its pokeball high and a powerful-looking Scyther came out. “Scyyyyyy!” “A Scyther! The one and only pokemon that is even more powerful than its evolved from!” Marilou looked scared. “You can beat it, Marilou, fly high.”, Chavella encouraged. “Scyther, hyper beam!” Scyther had more speed, so its hyper beam hit Marilou. It damaged her a lot! She had only a few hp left! “Oh, no!” The next turn, Scyther was recharging and then Marilou hit him with its fly attack. It took off a good number of Scyther’s hp. “Now, finish her with another hyper beam!” “What to do… What to do… I know! Use endure!” Marilou could endure the hyper beam! But she only had one hp left… “Now, he’s recharging, use wing attack.” Both Chavella and her pokemon were expecting that this attack would make Scyther faint, but it didn’t! “We won’t make the mistake of using hyper beam again.”, Bugsy declared. “Scyther, slash!” “Marilou, quick attack!” Marilou dashed very quickly towards Scyther, but it still didn’t make it faint! “My Scyther is really tough!” “So is Marilou!” Scyther was going to slash Marilou, but the attack missed! “Wow, that must be the brightpowder! Now, Marilou, the last blow, quick attack!” “Piiiiiidgeooooottoooo!” Marilou tackled Scyther to the ground. He struggled to stand up again, but it collapsed. “That was great Marilou, you won!”, Chavella exclaimed. “You defeated two pokemon all by yourself.” Marilou looked proud. She smiled and then white light surrounded her. Awhite light that Chavella was always happy to see! Marilou had evolved into Pidjeot! “Wow! Marilou, you really look graceful!” “Piiiidjeeeooot!” Marilou smiled, she had finally evolved. The flying pokemon wanted her trainer to see what she was capable her. Marilou succeeded! Chavella was very proud of her. “Congratulations, Chavella, here is the hive badge.”, Bugsy said, handing her the precious object. “That has been a great match Bugsy! You almost won, congratulations! Team, we won the Hive bagde!” “Jiiiiig!” “Grrrrrrran!” “Vapo!” “Zuuuu!” “Quiiila!” “Piiidjeooot!”
