"Welcome to the Viridian City Gym"
How did we get here?well I got call on my pokedex from Adrien saying him and Cole wanted to go challange Viridian City Gym leader and asked if I wanted to come along so I thought maybe it's a best way to find out about Gym leader as I will also have to face him to get the Gym badge. Only reason I am not challanging right now is because I am unsure if I am ready to beat a gym leader yet.
I met them around 10:30 in the morning and we made our way to the Gym. Both of them seem pretty hyped about the upcoming battle they are gonna have.
"Say,do you know anything about the current Gym leader"I asked them as I know in games it is Giovanni so I was hoping it's not him.
"Yes, he's name is Clay and he uses ground type Pokemon" Adrien replied.
Clay? now who's that never heard of him anywhere before and he uses ground type, similar to Giovanni, that's intresting.
We reached the Gym after few minutes as it wasn't that far from the Pokemon center, yet I never visited it before.
The Gym itself is huge like a Football stadium and at the entrance a Pokemon trainer welcomed us and asked if we are here to challenge the Gym leader.
"Yes, we are." replied both of them with enthusiasm.
"Well please come this way,Gym leader will be informed right away so you can go to Field and wait there"
We walked inside the stadium and went to the field it is quite big and spacious than I expected. I went to the empty stands and sat in front row.
After few minutes a man came claiming himself as Clay. He looks few years older than me but is build like a wall with all those muscles but seems like quite a lazy bum with that lazy expression on his face. Adrien wanted to battle him first so Cole joined me on the stand.
Battle rules were simple it's a 2v2 battle, whoever knocks out both Pokemon of one side wins.
Adrien starts with his Squirtle and Clay send out his Diglett. Adrien has an advantage based on type but you never know.
*Battle begins*
Adrien: Let's go Squirtle use water gun attack.
Clay:Dodge it and use sand attack.
Dodging Squirtle's water gun Diglett used sand attack to possibly blind Squirtle.
Adrien: Squirtle use rapid spin to block it.
Sand attack doesn't affect Squirtle.
Adrien: Now use bubble
Squirtle shoots bubble at Diglett
Clay:Diglett dig.
Diglett avoids bubble and and goes underground.
Adrien: Careful Squirtle he will att...
As he was about to finish his words Diglett hits Squirtle hard and it flys high
Clay: Finish it with Rock Slide
Diglett summons rocks and sends it towards Squirtle and the move lands dropping Squirtle to the ground fainted.
The refree declares
"Squirtle is unable to Battle"
Adrien calls back Squirtle and thanks him then proceeds to send Pidgey.
Adrien: Pidgey use quick attack
Clay:Dig
Diglett avoids Pidgey's move but can't hit Pidgey as it is flying high.
Clay: Diglett use Rock Slide.
Adrien: Pidgey use gust.
As two moves collides small explosions happens and Rock slide goes through gust and hit Pidgey.
Pidgey trys to get up but is unable to and faints.
"Pidgey is unable to battle as both Pokemon of challanger is unable to battle Winner of this match is Gym leader Clay"
Wow fuc**ng Diglett took both Adrien's Pokemon in One to two hits, this Clay guy is strong alright.While I was talking to myself Cole got up and walk towards the field as the next challanger.
Rules and everything remains the same.
Adrien takes the seat beside me looking a bit sad
"Hey cheer up buddy, it's your first time battling a Gym leader, you can train harder next time"
"Haha yes, I still need a lot of work" Adrien replies
As our focus goes toward the battle.But even this had the same result Cole's Charmander and NidoranF lost to Diglett in few moves and sent him packing. I would challange him for battle but seems like I need to have 2 Pokemon for that so I did not.
We got out of the Gym and head to Pokemon Center to heal their Pokemon and decided to eat something after that.
"I can't believe we just got taken out by single hits"Cole was absolutely fuming
"Forget it we will train harder and go back their to challange him again"Adrien was trying to be optimistic
"Ya and next time I will join you guys to challange him" I added
We just had some small talks about the battle and suddenly heard about a announcement in the TV of the Cafe we were eating about the Rookie Cup that is going to be held in Viridian City in 3 days.
We looked at each other and I could see the excitement on both of their eyes.
"I am up for it" I declared
"Haha sure let's go I am in" Adrien stood up in excitement
"Yes ,count me in. I am gonna win this as my first trophy" Cole seemed excited as well.
"In your dreams I will win it for sure" Adrien rebuffed Cole's statement
They had a friendly banter with eachother and after some time they went home and I walked towards Viridian Forest ,why? To catch Pokemon ofcourse.
It seems that Rookie Cup will Give 5000 Pokecoins to the winner with 1 super potion and I am all for it.
It was also getting a bit dark so I better go and catch atleast one Pokemon fast.
I ran and reach the checkpost and walked inside Viridian Forest.I looked and searched for awhile with my Scyther and even battled few wild Pokemon like Beedrill but was unable to find anything that I wanted to catch. As it was night I decided to return to Pokemon center but than I heard a thunder like sound with a bright light and thought to myself maybe there is another rare Pokemon and ran towards it with my Scyther.
After I reached the place where light came from there was nothing but a Zubat who seems hurt and is unable to fly. It must have been hit by Pikachu's thunderbolt while fighting. I thought of leaving it like that because I absolutely hate Zubat because of my game experience and them irritating me throughout my playthroughs. But it looked like it was in critical condition so I thought "I can't just leave it to die like this" so I carried it and ran towards the City as Fast as I could.
Around half an hour of running I reached Pokemon Center completely exhausted and showed Zubat to Nurse Joy who took it in to check up while exhaustion kicked in and I went and fell asleep in the Sofa nearby.....
