Chapter 7: When Rocky got to Oreburgh City, he saw Ash and Lucas at the doors of the gym. "Hey guys, what's up with the gym?" "The gym leader is training for the next couple of hours. That means we have to wait." Lucas answered. "Oh, well, how about a little combat practice? Wouldn't hurt, would it?" asked Rocky. "I guess not." Ash answered. They had a tag-team battle. Rocky used 2 Pokemon at a time, but Ash and Lucas used 1 at a time. However, Ash and Lucas were on a team. Rocky sent out Lucario and Machamp. Ash used Pikachu and Lucas used Munchlax. Munchlax was taken out easily by an Aura Sphere attack. Then Pikachu took down Machamp with a Thunder. It was just Lucario and Pikachu. Lucario used Clone. They all charged up for a Giant Aura Sphere. Ash told Pikachu to use a Volt Tackle in order to destroy the Aura Sphere. Pikachu struck the sphere head on. The energy in both attacks caused a huge explosion. Pikachu and Lucario was down for the count. "That was AWESOME!!" Everyone turned around to see another trainer. She was younger than a trainer should have been. "Hi, I'm Vivi. I'm from the Orre region." In the Orre region, trainers only have to be 7 to be a Pokemon trainer. Also, trainers can have up to 7 Pokemon on rooster. Rocky returned Lucario and snuck away to the PC then see if the gym was open. As he entered the gym, he saw a young man standing on the battlefield, almost as if he was waiting for him. They were to have a 3-on-3 battle. The young man and gym leader, Rorak, sent out his Geodude. Rocky chose Mightyena. Mightyena was ordered to use a rapid-fire Shadow Ball attack. Geodude tried to counter it with a concetrated Hidden Power. The 2 attacks collieded and caused a huge explosion similar to the one during Rocky's previous battle. And just like that fight, both Pokemon were down and out. They returned their Pokemon and sent out their next choice. Rocky's Machamp versus Rorak's Onix. Machamp used a Dynamic Punch attack, but it missed and Onix Wrapped Machamp. And just like that, Machamp was finished. It was Lucario's turn and he has to take out 2 Pokemon. Lucario used Close Combat and took out Onix. Rorak's final Pokemon was sent out, Cranidos. Cranidos was charging at Lucario with full force. Lucario stopped it with Force Palm. Cranidos fell to the ground. Rocky thought it was over, but it started to glow. Cranidos evolved into Rampardos. They both used their strongest attacks: Lucario's Aura Sphere and Rampardos' Flamethrower. A big dust storm filled the room. After it cleared, Lucario and Rampardos were staring at each other. Rampardos fell to the ground and Lucario fell to his knees. "Rampardos is unable to battle, Lucario is the winner. Rocky won the Oreburgh Gym Battle. Your prize is a badge, 500 dollars, and a TM containing Stone Edge. It's a move that combines Psychic and Stealth Rock." Rocky left the gym and headed to Eterna City for his nxt gym battle.
