I seem to be on a role with this story. Ideas just keep popping into my head. Hope you enjoy!

Official-"Each opponent will be able to use a total of 3 Pokemon. The challenger may switch Pokemon when he feels the need to. The Gym Leader may not. There is no time limit! Let the battle begin!"

Jenn-"Go Arcanine!"

Ash-"Go Charizard!”

***Both Pokemon popped out of their Pokeballs and stared fiercely at each other***

Jenn-"You ready Ash?"

Ash-"Bring it on!"

Official-"Begin!"

Jenn-"Arcanine! Start out with Fire Blast!"

Ash-"Charizard! Dodge it and use Fly!"

***Charizard moved out of the way and began to dive at Arcanine***

Jenn-"Arcanine! Use Extreme Speed to dodge it then use Hyper Beam!"

***Arcanine did Extreme Speed***

Ash-"CHARIZARD! GET OUT OF ARCANINE’S WAY!!!"

***He was too slow this time. Arcanine’s Hyper Beam hit Charizard head-on and he fell to the ground***

Ash-"Charizard! Can you get up?"

***Charizard struggled but managed to stand upright***

Misty-"I think you should call Charizard back Ash. It looks tired."

Ash-"Hold on. Charizard! Do you still feel like fighting?"

***Charizard shook his head yes***

Ash-"That settles it. If he still wants to fight, I’ll let him."

Jenn-"Impressive Ash. I’ve rarely seen any Pokemon withstand my Arcanine’s Hyper
Beam attack. But you’ll have to have more than guts if you want to win this match."

Ash-"Thanks. And I will win. Charizard! Use Seismic Toss!"

Jenn-"Arcanine! Dodge it with Extreme Speed!"

***Charizard barley missed Arcanine***

Jenn-"You’ll have to move faster than that if you want to beat my Arcanine’s Extreme Speed Ash."

Ash-"Charizard! Use Flamethrower!"

Jenn-"Use Extreme Speed again Arcanine!"

Ash-"Charizard! Spin in a circle to create a ring of fire to hit Arcanine!"

***It worked. Charizard’s attack hit Arcanine but it still had as much strength as
Charizard***

Jenn-"I didn’t think you’d use a strategy like that. Quite impressive."

Ash-"We’re not done yet. Charizard! Use Seismic Toss again!"

Jenn-"Dodge it again Arcanine!"

***This time Arcanine was too slow. Charizard successfully slammed Arcanine into the ground but fell right after. The last attack had taken most of its strength. Arcanine collapsed a couple seconds after Charizard***

Official-"Charizard and Arcanine are both unable to battle! The match is a draw!"

***They both called their Pokemon back***

Jenn-"Nice work Ash. Very nice. But you’ll find my next Pokemon is going to be much harder to defeat."

To be continued...

Leaves you hanging, doesn’t it? Don’t worry. I’m working on Part 17 right after this. This Gym Battle might take up 3 parts instead of 2. Review! Oh. And check out my Tower review page at www.angelfire.com/pokemon2/towerreview/index.html
