It has been quite the eventful week for our hero on his quest of becoming a Pokemon master! Excitement in every direction he and his team of Pokemon visited. Battling Team rocket reuniting Pokemon sisters, battling his first gym at the Pewter city gym. And stopping Team Rocket from stealing Pokemon at the Viridian city Pokemon center!
Yes Ash Ketchum had quite the excitement and is now taking a well deserve or somewhat of a rest. By arriving to the next city and the next gym badge: Cerulean city! A place filled with people and Pokemon that are wondering and walking around on the sidewalks. Chatting and speaking to one another, playing chase or just having fun with some of the local children.
Even enjoying the afternoon sun rays beaming down on the city. Blanketing them with warming heat and a bright sunny day for those to enjoy a picnic. Or having lunch outside and even watering their flower gardens. Yes it is quite the lovely day here in Cerulean city, a place where people come and go. To chat and mingle with each other or even spending the day with their Pokemon. Including being a tourist attraction for those who comes from far away or the next town over. To come and see the fantastic water show that is held in the middle of the entire city!
Where admission is at a fair price and everyone in their family can come too seeing Water Pokemon. Put on a play and give out an amazing performances with their Pokemon trainers. Who are known as the Sensational Beautiful Sister! Violet, Daisy and Lily! Three beautiful ladies and their Pokémon brings entertainment and wonders for audiences of all ages, bringing the beauty out of their huge array of water type Pokemon.
Little does everyone know though is that these sisters? Aren't just performers but are also the Gym leaders of Cerulean city. Their Gym is also their water show and place of business where Trainers will come and do battle for the Cascade badge; giving trainer's one step further into entering the Pokemon league!
Thus is where our hero Ash Ketchum will be heading in order to obtain his second badge! As we go on over and check on our young inspiring trainer, who is enjoying this lovely day with his Pokemon. "Waaaah!" or so he was enjoying this lovely morning?
The boy who is standing upright and holding onto what seems to be a bowl filled with Pokemon food. Open his mouth and letting out a puff of smoke: with his entire body charcoal and burnt to the crisp. He then fell backwards and crashed into the ground. Having Pikachu and Buneary quickly moving towards him and shouting out their names at the young trainer. Asking him if he is alright and that nothing is hurting? With Ash replying back and the food bowl being taken from his hands, from the Pokemon responsible of burning him into a crisp was none other than Blaziken. Who seems to be happy with the food she grabbed from the boy. While jumping and heading to a nearby tree branch for herself to stand on, and enjoy her lunch.
With Pikachu sighing and shaking his head left to right. With Buneary blinking her eyes and gently poking Ash on the head. Curious if he is alright and then asks Pikachu if this always happens? With the electric mouse nodding his head and then chuckles sheepishly when Ash spoke in pain.
"At least I am getting through Blaziken enjoy…the food uhhh." And promptly fainting on the pavement with swirls appearing his eyes, having Pikachu sighing out and Buneary just lightly giggled at how silly Ash is with his friends and partners.

"Alright does everyone have their food now?" Exclaimed the boy with a very wide and happy smile. Watching every one of his Pokemon sitting down and gathered around with each other. Grabbing and eating their food evenly and somewhat messy, giving out their cries of yes they most certainly were.
Making Ash nod "that is good to hear remember", he raised a hand and begins walking over towards one of the outside tables. That were near the Pokemon center as he took a seat and chuckled "there still more where that came from! Just ask me for more and I'll pour some into your bowls." He told them and got a collective nod.
Ash then went ahead and begins eating his own plate of sandwiches and some rice he made for himself. Just keeping an eye on everything in front of him, making sure that his Pokemon wouldn't be causing any type of trouble or harm to one another. Though he does have to remind himself to introduce the girls to Lopunny right after lunch. Since he hasn't gotten the time to properly introduce the normal type too the group.
Although from where he is sitting? Looks like the female Pokemon is going to do that herself especially the way she is staring at Gardevoir. Whom had her ruby eyes blinking at the rabbit Pokemon, sweat dropping at the serious stare the female Pokemon is giving her along with the way her eyes were leering. Giving out a low humming noise from her throat "Gardevoir?" the psychic/fairy type asks silently of what is it?
"Punny~" yipped the rabbit Pokemon as she is staring greatly at Gardevoir's breasts. Wondering exactly how it is the female Pokemon? Can even walk or sit up with those large rounded mounds of hers? It even made Lopunny to sit up straight and look down at her own breasts, cupping them lightly and moving them up and down. Feeling somewhat inadequate compare to Gardevoir's full rounded E cups boobs to her own E cup boobs. More of hers being perky and somewhat pointier than Gardevoir's breasts, where they were fully rounded without being perky at all.
"Punny, pun", the rabbit Pokemon sighed out and hang her head down in defeat. Making Gardevoir to chuckle lightly reassuring the rabbit Pokemon. There is nothing wrong with her body and that comparing her breasts shouldn't matter. Only to lean back and then grin sheepishly when Lopunny got up close to her face. Pumping her paws and giving a very determine look in her eyes "Lopunny, punny!" she chanted out.
Saying that there will be no way she will lose to Gardevoir and prove to her. She is more beautiful and sexier than the psychic/fairy type. The rabbit pounded her chest in a way to challenge her in the way of beauty, causing the Psychic type to just sigh and lower her head. Though happily smile at the rabbit Pokemon and figured it might be fun? After all, never a day someone challenges you into being more sexy or prettier than you right?
"Lopunny pun", Gardevoir went completely red in the face when Lopunny leans over to her ear. Raising a paw up to her muzzle, whispering out and asking the female if she had mated Ash? In order to get such big breasts and curvy body. Only to yelp out and then laughed lightly when Gardevoir let out a small scream and shoves the rabbit away from her. Then quickly begins covering her body much she could with her arms. Shaking her blushing face left to right stating no, she did not mate with Ash in order to get this body and even started yelling at Lopunny of why she would ask that!
Then had her ruby eyes shrinking down into tiny dots. When Lopunny teasingly rested a paw under her chin and giggled out. "Lopunny, lop-lop lopunny" saying how usually and over hearing some female travelers back at mount moon. That usually doing something with their bodies with another helps increase the size of one's bust. Then let out a grunt when her food bowl levitated and got flown strait into her face! Curtesy of an embarrassed Gardevoir who is now trying her best to cover herself more from embarrassment, especially when Lopunny after stating that said. Ash probably wouldn't mind helping her to make her look sexy.
The rabbit just huffed and shrug her shoulders wondering what the big deal is? And decided to get a refill for her food bowl, by heading on over towards Ash. When she did and away from the blushing Gardevoir. The female psychic type silently removed her arms away from her body and lets out a stressful sigh, while shaking her head left to right. Then stares down at her food…going over of what Lopunny had told her. About Ash helping her out by making her body become sexier; to doing so though will mean she had to mate with him. Or having him physically touching her body in a way that probably would feel…good?
The girl quickly shook her head left and right repeating her name in a way of saying no! Over and over much it probably would feel good to have his hands roam her body? She rather just stick to teasing and messing with the boy. Instead of actually having him touching her in a loving matter besides: who would even want to be with her? When her original owner did not even want her around and put her into the PC, abandoning her after saying how Gardevoir. Doesn't have the drive or the means of bringing pain to her opponents Pokemon.
"Hey-hey easy Lucario, Ninetails you will get your refill! Right after Lopunny!" shouted Ash's voice. Alerting Gardevoir to blink her eyes towards him and then smiles softly. Seeing Lucario and Ninetails trying their best to move and shove one another away from the boy. Even Lopunny when the rabbit Pokemon; walked over towards him and possibly pushed her way between the two Pokemon. In order to get more food from him and doing a good job of standing in one place. Without being shove or push from the fighting type and fire type Pokemon.
"Okay there you go Lopunny and sorry about Gardevoir", he wanted to apologize about Gardevoir shoving the food into Lopunny face. Only for the rabbit to giggle and waving her paws in a don't worry fashion while then curtsey too him. In a fashion of saying she had it coming and happily skip her way over to one of the chairs and sits down next to Buneary. Tickling her young sister into a laughing fit: tilting and kicking her legs excitedly from being tickled.
Making Gardevoir who has been watching this to smile and laugh happily, as she returns back to her food. Staring at it for a couple minutes as her thoughts then wandered into those weird feelings she gotten back at the riverbank. From Ash holding onto her hands and helping drying her off, caused the psychic Pokemon to somewhat freak out and pulled away from him. When a strange sensation went through her body JUST by touching his hands? It…puzzles her and still does to this very day?
Xxx
One hour has passed with Ash and his team as everyone had enjoy their meals and with full stomachs. Deciding that it will be best to just laze about for now and enjoy the warm sunny day outside. Before going off and in search for the Pokemon gym. Letting his Pokemon go and play with each other or just rest for now. In which is what Gardevoir and Blaziken is doing right now, even despite the fire/fighting type wants nothing to do with the boy.
With Lopunny, Pikachu and Buneary happily playing with one another out in the small field of the center. Chasing down one another or playing tag with each other, with Lopunny being somewhat faster than Buneary and just fast enough with Pikachu. With her easily jumping and hopping over the two of them enjoying the way her fur will move and sway with the winds. Her breasts bouncing wildly whenever she will run or charge ahead of the other two. Almost getting caught once in a while whenever Pikachu or Buneary.
Will stop chasing the girl for a bit only to suddenly grab a hold of one another. Swinging them around and slingshot them straight towards the fully evolved Pokemon. Who will let out a grunt of surprise when Pikachu comes hurling into her chest and knocking her down into the ground. Then all of them going into a laughing fit once Buneary comes and dog pile on the two of them. With Lopunny happily hugging them close into her chest and tossing the two of them into the air!
Ash just happily laugh and chuckle watching his Pokemon enjoying themselves and having fun with one another. Of course he wasn't out of the clear yet, on the account Lucario and Ninetails. Are making sure the boy wouldn't feel left out or alone sitting on the chair. Making him to lightly blush or becoming somewhat embarrassed: from the girls trying their best. To sit on the boy's lap or even having his arms around their bodies, or underneath their rears. Just so he can hold them on his seat. But will huff in annoyance or giggling out when he silently slides them off from him. Making Ninetails who is the shy one of the group to instead just rub herself against his legs. Making sure to having her breast and bouncing cheeks squish and bop against his legs. While for Lucario who prefers being by the boy's side?
Wrap her paws around his arms and holding him close as possible! Making sure that his arm and hands will get a good feeling of her double D cups. Sliding and kneading into his skin with his fingers and palm; rubbing and kneading into her own fur, stomach and around her waist. Having the fighting/steel type to beam happily and even giggles when she heard Ash. Sighing in defeat as it seems like no matter what he does? Ninetails and Lucario will be determine to having him feeling them up or touching their bodies one way or another.
He is glad of one thing though? And that is the two of them teasing him or purposely trying to place themselves on top of him or laying on top of his body. Unlike Gardevoir who seems to enjoy teasing him and doing just that whenever they try and go to sleep at night…
"Ash is that you?" announced a female voice coming across the other side of the Pokemon center fields and fence. Alerting Ash to looking up and away from his Pokedex to see who it was calling him? "Oh wow it is you hey!" it was Misty! The red hair girl he ran into while he and Pikachu were fleeing and running away from the Spearows!
Along with help defending and protecting the Pokemon from being stolen by Team Rocket back in viridian city! "Hey Misty haven't seen you in a long while! How are things?" the boy exclaimed with a smile and getting up from his chair. Only to then widen his eyes and lean back when the orange hair girl, jumps over the fence and begins stomping her way over to him and getting in the boy's face! Having Ash to chuckle sheepishly and raising his hands up in defense when Misty began speaking.
"Well besides someone and his certain electric type rodent gone and ruin my bike? Leaving me with nothing to ride on and forcing a young maiden like myself to actually walk and get blisters in her feet!" Misty yelled out while moving her hands around in order to point at Pikachu. Who like Ash, lowered his head down to his shoulders rubbing the back of his head in apologetic way. Misty then start poking and pushing Ash backwards towards the Pokemon center walls. Having Ninetails and Lucario baring their fangs and beginning to growl out threateningly towards this girl! Only to then blink their eyes and calming down from the next thing she said after shoving the boy into the wall.
"Either than that I am doing fine", Misty smiled causing Ash to fall on the ground in a goofy fashion. Then quickly getting back up scratching the side of his cheek with eyes closed. Only to then smile brightly when Misty tilted her head with a finger raised. "Matter of fact thanks to you telling me where to find good water Pokemon? I was able to get a lot of fishing done south from Pallet town!"
After calming down and shoving the boy into the wall. The two of them resume their conversation by sitting at the outside table. With Misty giggling and making funny noises towards the Buneary on the table, getting the small rabbit Pokemon. To giggle out and wiggle around on the table: returning the same funny noises and facial expressions back at the girl. Finding her to be quite fun and playful getting Misty to squeal out "oh my you're such a cutie! I can't believe you managed to catch a cute Pokemon!" Misty exclaimed while lightly grabbing the small Pokemon. Lifting her up and down on the table getting Buneary to laugh some more and flailing about.
While Lopunny who is next to Misty lightly panic and stretch her arms out a bit. Chanting out at the girl to be careful and don't drop her. Only to get scolded by Buneary and forcing Lopunny to tap her fingers together in a sheepish way. After being told or more of being scolded by her little sister saying she doesn't need protection. Making Misty to let out a small "aw don't worry Lopunny I won't hurt Buneary!" Misty then gently pets the Lopunny's head getting a squeal from the rabbit. Enjoying the trainer rubbing her head lightly "heh I know how it feels to having sisters protecting you. Or more of…responsible sisters watching over their younger sibling."
This had Ash and Pikachu to blink their eyes after the boy took a sip of his drink and placing it down on the table. "I didn't know you had sisters Misty?" The boy announced and then chuckled when the girl happily place Buneary down on the ground. Watching the rabbit hop her way over towards Pikachu, tagging him and then darting away. Making Pikachu who was sipping his drink, to whip his head at her and then his drink. Letting out a happy Pikachu and darts right after the Pokemon!
"Yeah they can be quite annoying though and somewhat irresponsible." Misty groaned out while resting her hand against her chin. Sipping through her straw "all they care about is making sure their performances and shows do well. Without actually taking responsibility to making sure the Pokemon are okay."
"Eheh sounds like they're more of making a good impression huh?" The boy chuckled out and sweat dropped with a sheepish smiled. When Misty nodded and leans back against her chair crossing her arms with frustration. "They can't be all that bad right?"
"You kidding me!" Misty shouted making Ash to flinch and chuckled lightly when Misty, looked away from him. Having a very serious look on her face and then closes her eyes "they're so annoying and frustrating sometimes. That I believe I'm more responsible than all three of them combine!" Misty then moved forward a bit with gritted teeth. "They even sometime focus so much on making sure the show is perfect! They never bother to making sure they are feeding or taking care of their Pokemon, or me the matter of fact." She then thrust a hand forward and whipped her glass off the table. Sipping hard and fast on her straw. Making Ash to be somewhat concerned of the girl's temper rising any father as it is somewhat…scaring Lucario and Ninetails a bit. "I mean how can you forget about you're younger sister! Or how hungry she might be!"
"Uhh Misty?" Ash began quietly at first and then chuckled a bit. Listening Misty continue speaking about how her sisters. Even will sometime to forget about making her lunch for school or picking her up "Misty?" Ash said once more and got ignored again when she went onto about how they would forget to go and heal up their Pokemon. After having what sounded like an intense Pokemon battle between each other or visitors "MISTY!"
"Huh?" Misty then blinked her eyes and stared towards Ash. Noticing the boy had stood up from his chair and letting out a calming breath. Looking to be asking the girl about something but ignored him "it's kind of rude to interrupt somebody when their talking Ash." The girl informed with a glare only to then blink her eyes when Ash waved his hand.
"Yeah sorry about that but you were going on about you're sisters. That I actually wanted to ask you something." In which the girl stared for a bit and then flushed lightly. Rubbing her head embarrassingly as she did not realized Ash was trying to get her attention. So she asks what it is he wanted and felt herself going quiet when the boy lifted up a fist asking. "I was wondering if you know where the Cerulean gym is!"
"Oh-oh and why is that?" The girl tried to feign ignorance about knowing where the gym is. Or mostly trying to avoid anything that has to do with the cerulean gym at all cost. Though had to lower her smile when the next thing she heard Ash saying.
"Well I am competing for the Pokemon league and that the next gym badge I am after. Is here in Cerulean city!" He then opened up the side of his jacket and reveals the Pewter city Boulder badge to her "see I already got my first badge from Brock back at Pewter gym! And am curious if you know where the Cerulean gym is?"
"There is no gym!" Misty defiantly said while whipping her head away and crosses her legs. Causing all the Pokemon there to stop from whatever is they were doing. To stare at the girl with blinking eyes and curios of what she means there is no gym? Hell even Ash was confused about it and was about to say the people around here told him, there is a gym. Only for the boy to flinch when the girl slams a hand on the table and stood up "trust me Ash there is no Pokemon gym!" She then smiles "the gym their probably thinking of is where people work out and lifts weights!" oh how she hates lying to the boy about there being no gym. But there is no way she will actually walk and guide him to where it was! Especially since she doesn't want to see those three faces again or hear on about their beauty, or how much prettier and better looking they are to Misty!
Or even listening to them trying to come up or plan for a great water performance and play they could come up with for next showing of theirs! "Really…but", Ash began while lightly scratching the side of his cheek with his other hand pointing in no exact direction "I was told by the people here that there being a Pokemon gym?"
"Well there lying to you Ash", Misty began while she stood up and grabs her red bag. "There is no gym and there never was one!" The girl was about to walk away only for Ash to ask how come. Making her freeze in mid-step. Gulping and shutting her eyes tightly trying her best, to figuring out an excuse or a way too making Ash forget about the gym. "Because…" she began while turning her head slowly at him and then smiles "because they tore it down that's why!"
"Huh!?" Exclaimed the boy as he took a step back and then step forward raising both arms up. "Why they do that for?! Did the gym leader do something terrible or did something bad?" He asks wondering if this is true or not? Watching the girl turning her back on him. Having an 'oh gosh' expression on her face and chuckling to herself.
She could not believe how much Ash is believing her lie! Of course this did not go unnoticed by Gardevoir and Blaziken. Who can see and read the girls expression noticing that she is lying towards the boy. Convincing him that there is no gym here, only for them to realize that there is a Pokemon gym. Just for some reason the girl doesn't want Ash to know for whatever reasons they're not sure?
But one thing for sure and having Blaziken to tsk by turning her attention away from the two of them. As she couldn't believe how stupid her trainer is of believing this girl! Let alone not realizing that he is being tricked by this girl? Gardevoir on the other hand being a psychic type, silently probed Misty's mind and actually search through her memories of why she doesn't want Ash going there? The tale she was saying earlier about her sisters and such were…actually somewhat true? Minus the part about them mistreating their Pokemon. More of not treating Misty with proper respect or treating her nicely with her tomboyish acts. In one memory even has Misty announcing and shouting towards her sisters that she will go out and become a great Pokemon trainer, and never returning to the gym till she does.
Meaning the reason behind tricking Ash into thinking there is no gym? Is because of that announcement she made to her sisters. Of never coming back till she is a great trainer comes true! Gardevoir has to give respects to the girl and now fully understands the meaning behind this lie of hers. So she isn't going to say anything and just happily smiles, being ignorant of the situation and just happily kicks her feet up and down on the chair she is sitting at. Though is enjoying the looks Pikachu, Lucario, Ninetails, Lopunny and Ash were giving towards Misty.
The red hair girl cleared her throat and swung around to face the group. Smiling brightly and ready to give out why they tore down the gym. "Because the gym leader who runs the place…" she paused her sentence and grins evilly at the group "passed away and began haunting the gym. Scaring off any challengers who dared enter the building!" She then moved her hands up and began wiggling her fingers as she begins telling the scary tale. Watching Ash and his Pokemon paling a bit "and whoever goes in to fight the ghostly gym leader and loses? Will have their souls taken away from them! Trapping them for eternity, forcing them to battle and fight against his ghostly Pokemon and other restless victims he had defeated!" Misty informed while having a very serious look on her face. Along with wiggling her fingers to emphasize the situation better and how creepy it is.
Ash couldn't help but blink his eyes and twitched his right eye lightly. It definitely sounded dangerous and this spirit of the gym leader? Does sound very evil especially if he will steal the spirits and souls of his defeated victims…buts is it true or not? After all Misty could be pulling his leg right now and prevent him from going to the gym. Then again what or why she would do that in the first place will be the better question.
"So yeah you should probably go and take the gym down at Vermilion city Ash!" Misty winks while raising a hand. With one finger pointing upward "I heard they have an amazing beach there and great place to hang out. Relax and even enjoying the ocean breeze!" she then leans forward moving her arms apart. "What do you say? Forget about the Cerulean gym and just go to the one in Vermilion city?"
The boy hummed lightly while rubbing his arm a bit. He took a glance around too his Pokemon, noticing some of them weren't really paying attention. Well mostly Blaziken and Gardevoir weren't paying attention to the conversation. But from staring at Gardevoir and seeing giggling lightly; shook her head in a way to silently telling Ash. It would be a bad idea for them to head down towards Vermilion city.
Meaning that Gardevoir might have figured out something is wrong with Misty's story. With the girl wanting to prevent the boy of going towards the gym, or this supposed tore down Pokemon gym. Wanting some third party opinion on this the boy. Looks over towards Pikachu, Lopunny, Buneary, Lucario and Ninetails one by one. Seeing some of them just shrugging their shoulders from Ninetails and Lucario. While Lopunny shook her head not at all believing this tale whatsoever! Even Pikachu and Buneary aren't believing Misty fake story about the gym. Giving Ash a good idea they rather see the truth for themselves and head on towards the gym.
"Heh well Misty much I wouldn't mind the offer", Ash began while standing up right and grabbing his Pokemon pokeballs. "But I think will go with my guts and my Pokemon decision. Of wanting to see this gym ourselves and check your story out." He then recalls almost everyone minus Pikachu and Buneary into their Pokeball; then pocketed them onto his belt and lifted up his green backpack.
Holding an arm out for Pikachu to go and climb on top of his shoulders. Including Buneary who giggled and happily hopped onto his hand and then onto his other shoulder. Shouting out 'let's go' fashion and threw her paw forward to wherever they were heading. Making Ash to chuckle and begin walking out from the Pokemon center picnic tables and onto the streets of Cerulean! Leaving Misty behind with the girl staring in disbelief and having her green eyes blinking in confusion.
The girl then gritted her teeth and threw her right fist into the air "FINE SEE IF I CARE! I HOPE THE GHOST STEALS ALL OF YOUR SOULS FOR NOT LISTENING TO ME!" screamed the girl and crosses her arms in defiance. Only to then hang her head down, letting out some a frustrated sigh. Opening up one eye and tilted her head lightly towards the direction of where Ash disappeared too "one way or another Misty girl? You'll have to face them either way, aw man their never going to let this down if I show up." She groaned indicating that her sisters. Are so going to tease and make fun of her for coming back home, after declaring that she won't return until she becomes a great Pokemon water trainer!
Xxx
One hour had passed since Ash and his Pokemon met up with Misty back at the Pokemon center. And on their way to finding out where they could go and find the Pokemon gym in Cerulean city? What a quest it was too considering how populated this place is and with people having their Pokemon out from their Pokeballs. Or wild Pokemon running through and out of bushes then into the alley ways, some flying and swooping down towards the riverbanks catching fishes to eat. Along with some of the Pokemon and people hanging around a huge fountain that is in the middle plaza of the city!
The three Ash, Pikachu and Buneary couldn't believe their eyes of just how busy this place is! Making the boy a bit worried that they might get lose themselves of the traffic "man if this gym does exist and there is an evil spirit taking victims? I think being victim of being carried away from the crowd will be worse!" Ash joked getting the two Pokemon on his shoulders to chuckle out. Agreeing with his statement about being sweep away from so many people.
"Buneary arry?" the rabbit Pokemon decided to speak up and asks Ash. Why not go and speak to one of the people and get directions for the gym? Getting the boy to shift his gaze at her and smiled brightly, moving a hand up and rubbing her stomach. Getting Buneary to go into a laughing fit and cooing lightly from the boy petting her.
"That is a great idea Buneary!" And so the boy stopped walking while standing in front of a store. Looking around to see who might be willing or take the time out of their schedule? To helping him and his Pokemon out in looking for the gym? "Oh he looks like someone might know?" Ash pique while pointing towards a man at a nearby corner. Holding up what looks to be a town map and reading it through next to a lady. "Excuse me sir!" Ash called out and began running over towards the two of them.
Having the man and woman to look up from the map and then blink their eyes down at Ash. Watching the boy straightening up a bit and raises his hand "do you two know where I can find the Cerulean gym? You see", he the stretches out his jacket a bit. Smiling brightly at the two of them "I'm on my way to earn my second gym badge for the Pokemon league!" He then closes his jacket pumping both fists. "It's really important that I challenge the gym leader here!"
"Well then you're in luck young man!" The woman announced with a giggle. Enjoying the way Ash and his Pokemon had smiles on them. As the man who is holding the map lowered it down enough, for everyone to see and had the woman place a finger on the center. "The Pokemon gym you're looking for is right here! In the middle of the town!"
The man then lifts his arm up and points northeast "just go about three blocks from here and then make a left. Go down one more block and face to your right." The man then faces at Ash with a grin while thumbing behind him. "Can't miss it, it has a Dewgong Pokemon in the front of the building! Good luck in your battle!"
"Ah-ha thanks lot mister, ma'am", he bowed down towards the two and thanked them for the directions. Along with Pikachu and Buneary thanking the two of them as well. Then hanged on tightly on Ash's hat when the boy began running down the directions he was directed to go through. Making sure to not crash or bump into anyone down the streets. Including those who might be coming around the corners of the streets, so this way he won't have to feel pain or ram into someone. Who might be carrying groceries or parcels in their hands and in grocery bags!
Xxx
It took a while for them but they managed to make it…the Pokemon Cerulean Pokemon Gym! Standing tall and mighty in front of them! With the description matching just like the man and woman earlier today had described. There was definitely a Dewgong on top of the gym. Symbolizing possibly Ash's guess there will be Water type Pokemon he will be facing? No doubt that Pikachu can handle such foes!
Only one problem he is noticing about the place "why are there so many people here!?" Ash exclaimed with wide eyes and mouth. Noticing there were tons and he means like a ton of people walking and entering the gym! Standing there with his mouth gawking and staring openly at the so many people…who possibly could be challengers from across the region coming here to get their gym badge.
Buneary had to shake and shiver visibly becoming quite nervous of this many gathering of humans. Never has she expected a place to be filled with them. "Pikachu, pika-pika", chanted Pikachu whom happily patted and rubs her back comfortably. Telling her that it will be alright and that he is here for her as well as Ash. Making the small rabbit Pokemon to smile back at him with a blush, nodding her head and saying thank you to Pikachu. "Pika!" Pikachu smiled back with one paw raised into the air excitedly and then tap against Ash's head.
"Hmm what's up Pikachu?" The boy asked and then followed Pikachu's finger pointing forward. Ready and willing to go challenge the gym! Not caring how many people are gathering or entering inside of it, he is ready to go and earn them a second badge! "You're right Pikachu!" exclaimed Ash as he moved his right arm around and pumped it in front of him. "Who cares how many people are challenging the gym! We came here to win our self a gym badge and that is what we are going to do!" and then swung his arm behind him and begins running forward and straight towards the building. Being mindful of those around him: who are entering and going through the double doors of the building. One by one they were slowly approaching and reaching the doors of the building. Ash, Pikachu and Buneary were jittery with excitement as they could not wait to see! What kind of battlefield or arena they will be battling on along with what Pokemon? Ash will have to fight against in order to get his gym badge?
Only problem is though after stepping through and following the group of people to the main room…there seems to be what appears to be a water show going on! Instead of what he and his Pokemon would figure a Pokemon battle might be happening?
The main room looked to be packed with a lot of people who appears to be sitting and waiting for whatever it is to start? Sitting down what look like bleachers in sets of rows, even some safety bars down at the bottom row of the seats. To prevent children or young ones to climb over or duck underneath them. Too get close towards what appears to be a very large pool in the center of the dome. Filled up near the top of it and having what appears to be aquatic life and reefs inside of the glass?
"What…kind of gym is-", Ash never got to finish his sentence. The room lights dimmed and began turning off one by one making it somewhat hard to see in the room. But at the same time still illuminating enough with the floor lights near the steps. For those able to see where they will be stepping and possibly be leaving out from the stage room. Then search lights began moving and gliding all around the entire dome like room with a loud speaker turning on! With what sounded a like a female voice echoing through the speakers! "What-what's going on!?" the boy silently exclaimed. Both he, Pikachu and Buneary began looking left and right following the search lights. Curious of exactly what is about to happen? Only to get their answers when the female voice began speaking…
"Welcome ladies and gentlemen! We all are proud of you to come and seeing the show! As our beautiful and wonderful actors are coming up onto the stage and ready to perform. Their aquatic performance and dance routine of the underwater ballet!" announced the voice getting everyone to cheer and shout in the room. Echoing throughout the entire dome, causing Buneary and Pikachu to wince their eyes, trying to cover their ears much as possible from the loudness!
"Underwater ballet?! What the he-", once again Ash couldn't get a word out. The female voice through the speakers spoke once more and the stage lights. After realizing what this place is all began moving and centering all in one place. With what appears to be a diving bored and showing three woman standing on it. Wearing different kind of bikini's and outfits on them, representing three colors of red, yellow and green.
"Here they are the famous and beautiful water maidens of today's show! The Water flower Sensational sisters!" cried the voice as the sisters smiled and wave their arms. Then immediately begin diving into the large contain pool area. Making loud splashes with perfection in their diving form! They then began dancing and swimming around with the nearby water type Pokemon, who are also performing with such grace and finance in their movement inside the pool.
"…I guess there really is no gym here?" Ash muttered quietly at the two Pokemon on his shoulders. Who were mesmerized of the performances that is happening in front of them. Watching the way how each girl will move and swiftly swim around the pool. Enjoying their time with bright beautiful smiles and making poses whenever they can, whenever they reach to a certain point of their swimming. Along with playing and having fun with the Pokemon inside the pool. Consisting of what appears to be a Magickarp, Shellder, Seel and a Goldeen. Ash sighs out and hangs his arms down letting them swing a bit "here I thought we will be able to get our second badge…aw man."

The boy after waiting for the performance to be over and everyone leaving out from the building? Headed on down after being told by one of the people. Who were watching show told him that he should head on down, and wait for the sensational sisters to come out. Then they will tell him this is a Pokemon gym. Of course the boy is still bit skeptic about this place being a Pokemon gym…but if the audiences knows this is a gym? Then he will take their word for now and wait downstairs for the three women to head on out from their dressing room.
"Pikachu, pi-pi-pi!" taunted Pikachu towards Buneary. Waving his tail up and down while then quickly swinging his body around the floor. To avoid the girl dive bombing him and tackling him into the ground, laughing and giggling in happiness. On the account while they were waiting Ash told Pikachu and Buneary they can have some fun or play with each other. Until the sisters come out from wherever they were exiting from so Ash, can go and see if they know where the Gym leader is. So the two playful Pokemon decided to go and play tag with one another. Happily giggling and laughing with one another in the long hallway they were in. With the windows showing and viewing the pool the sisters were just dancing in from earlier. With Pokemon happily moving and swimming about, with a few of them approaching the glass window.
Eye smiling and waving their fins or tails at Ash. Who couldn't help but chuckle and return the gesture back at them. He then leans more down against his arms on the railing bars, humming lightly "now that I think about it? I haven't given Oak or my mom a call yet? About why it is that I can see certain Pokemon, looking to be human shape?" It completely went over his head about that weird situation of his…and forgotten all about it from the many excitement he had. From traveling through Viridian forest to Pewter city and then mount Moon!
Whenever he gets the chance and going back to the Pokemon center. After defeating the Gym leader here and earning his second badge. Ash will try and give his house or Professor Oak a call; too seeing what they have come up with? Along with if Ash is the only person who can see female Pokemon looking to be human shape? He suddenly got out of his musing when the boy heard what sounded like a squeal coming down the hall.
"Oh, my, gosh! These two are quite adorable!" One of the female voices squealed out along with what sounded like Buneary. Having a giggling fit earning Ash to lean far back as he could from the railing bars, to see who it was that shouted that? And saw the girls from earlier gushing and rubbing their fingers gently against the small rabbit Pokemon stomach. "Where did you come from little one? Oh your such a cutie and so fluffy!" the girl with what appears to be pink hair and wearing an orange swimming suit like dress. Snuggle and nuzzled her cheeks against the rabbit, while the blond looking girl picked up Pikachu and gave a warming smile.
"Oh those rosy cheek patches of yours are cute! They were right Pikachu's are cute!" and hugged him close to her chest. Petting and rubbing the electric types head, letting out small purrs and chu of his name. Earning the girl with blue hair to move both hands towards her chin "say you two have a Pokemon trainer?" the blonde asked and then all three look ahead of them.
"Yeah they belong to me sorry if they were bothering you three?" Ash shyly said with a chuckle. Rubbing his neck a bit as he approaches them and then laughs. When Pikachu jumped out from the blondes hands and then climbed right on top of Ash's shoulders. Nuzzling his cheek against the boy's and then chuckled from Buneary doing the same and climbing on Ash's other shoulder.
"Aww…wanted to catch her." The pink hair one pouted while crossing her arms underneath her chest. Earning some giggles from the blonde and blue hair girl. While then facing at Ash with collective smiles as the girl who is pouting quickly changed attitude. "So what brings you here at our gym?" she announced.
Having Ash to blink his eyes a bit and then sheepishly grin "well I was hoping that I did not get the address wrong. But", then removes his hand from his neck and points at the three. "You three would have happen to know, if this is the Pokemon gym?" in which the three giggled and looked at one another. While the blue hair girl nodded lightly with one finger raised.
"Indeed this is the Pokemon Gym of Cerulean city! And we are the gym leaders!" The girl then introduced herself "names Violet, the one standing next to me is Daisy and Lilly on the other side." Violet introduces her sisters towards the boy. Watching Ash stepping back a bit in complete shock, including Buneary and Pikachu leaning their head away in surprise! As they did not expect these three…performers were the gym leaders of Cerulean city!?
Making Daisy to smile with a giggle "surprise huh? Yeah we get that a lot whenever Trainers comes here and challenges us to a gym battle." Daisy then looks at Lilly. Watching the girl happily posing in front of the boy with her arms above her head laughing happily.
"And are amazed with how beautiful and good looking we are. We sometime dazzle them with our performances and battling skills." She then squeals and clasps hands with Violet. From the two of them suddenly gushing over something Ash was not sure of…? But will soon feel a bit disappointed when the two of them then said: "Oh man you think we will someday attract handsome men to us? If we show how beautiful we can be during battles!"
"I don't know Lilly! But I hope so caused some of the trainers we fought recently, were quite handsome!" Violet squealed along with her as the two of them. Then smiles up towards Daisy watching her nodding and crossing her arms. Underneath her somewhat big chest blushing lightly from their last Pokemon battle.
"Especially that one boy he sure did look handsome." Daisy then sighs while lightly resting a hand on her cheek. "Too bad he was quite shy and timid…he would have probably made a great boyfriend." She then sighed in defeat. "I was really looking forward to asking him out too."
"Aw don't sweat it sis! I doubt he would have gone with any one of us anyway! Considering he had that girl with him!" Chuckled Lilly who then laughed playfully when Daisy began, punching her arms a bit. While the two of them suddenly looking towards Violet.
"Plus what we were told of why that girl is with him? Is to watch over his health and making sure he will be taken care of. Which honestly is a good thing you didn't ask, or anyone asked if he could stay?" Making Lilly and Daisy nodding in agreement. They knew nothing about the boy and his health problems…so it was a good thing that girl was with him. Who knows what kind of mistakes they would have made?
"Err hello?" Ash tried to get their attention only for his voice to be unheard. From the three of them continuing discussing and talking about many different type of boy's or guys they have seen or met coming here in Cerulean gym. "Girls what about my gym battle?" he tried to speak once more though again…went unheard. Causing Ash to grit his teeth and becoming quite annoyed of being ignored, especially over something stupid like boys! "HEY!" he shouted while thrusting both arms down, causing the three of them to look at Ash with blinking eyes. With Lilly stating how rude he is for interrupting their conversation, only to then sweat dropped. From how annoyed him, Pikachu and Buneary look while Ash; took a step forward and raised his hand up "I came here for a gym battle and was wondering if I could have it now!" Then points at the three of them "but you insist on talking about things I don't really care about!"
"Right, right", Daisy sheepishly announced while waving her hands up and down in defense. Apologizing towards the boy. Along with being right they are being quite rude and who knows how far this kid, traveled in order to have his gym battle with them. She lifted her right arm up and towards the hallway exit "how about we head on up and get started okay?"
Xxx
"Alright then I challenge all three of you for the gym badge! I don't care what kind of Pokemon you will…be using?" Ash began with great determination in his voice. Only to begin dying down his volume when he saw the girls. Lightly looking away from him and gently biting down their lips a bit, with the two Violet and Lilly, gently rubbing their arms up and down on their other arm.
"Something the matter?" Ash questioning about their odd behavior all of the sudden? Especially after challenging them to a gym battle for the badge. Wondering what is up and why they are being very hesitant about fighting him?
"Well you see…we kind of don't feel like battling." Announced Daisy while smiling apologetic. "You see…we have been in multiple battles non-stop this past week. That all of our available Pokemon are extremely exhausted."
"What..?! But how am I suppose too get a badge if I don't fight!" Ash took a step forward raising a hand up in worriment. With Buneary and Pikachu nodding their heads in agreement with the electric mouse. Pumping his paws and chanting out his name.
"Look we're sorry okay? But it was like one, two three in a row! From kids and trainers from some place called Pallet town. It was like…so a massacre on our end!" Lilly exaggerated while twirling two fingers into the air. In air quotations making Ash to groan lightly…figuring who one of those trainers might be. Which will be Gary his Pokemon trainer Rival and somewhat childhood friend.
"Well I guess not all of the battles were too bad?" Violet then giggled while looking towards the other sisters. "I actually quite enjoying battling that girl and other boy here!" Making Daisy and Lilly to hum with their heads nodding.
"Agreed!" Daisy then sighed out "they were more understanding for our sake, after that spikey hair kid. Brutally took out our Pokemon in one hit after another." She then shivered with her hands grabbing her shoulders "how he managed to get Nidoking so early is beyond me!"
"Yeah I so don't want to get on his bad side!" exclaimed the other two sisters. Who are once again in their own little world… ignoring Ash and his Pokemon completely as they once again? Go onto another discussion and topic about how two really nice trainers didn't go Rambo on them like Gary apparently.
"HEY!" Ash shouted finally after becoming quite annoyed and agitated of being ignored. Causing the sisters to once again look up at his direction. Then sweat dropped with apologetic expressions "will you three focus! How am I supposed to have a gym battle, if you all won't battle me! I mean", he then threw his arms up and then back down to his sides. "What made you girls decide of not battling?"
"Oh right", Daisy then reached behind her and grabs a Pokeball connecting on a small keychain that is hanging off from her bikini bottoms. "This is the only Pokemon we have left to fight." And then threw it forward releasing whoever it was inside the ball. Only for Pikachu, Buneary and Ash to all deadpan with disappointment with their pupils shrinking into tiny dots.
The Pokemon to be release and sent out is a Magickarp! Splashing and flopping on the pool floors saying its name repeatedly only to then get recalled back. Daisy sighing and closing her eyes lightly "Magickarp, besides Seel are the only two Pokemon we have to battle." She then places the ball back onto the keychain. Making Ash to rub the top of his head lightly moving his hat while doing so…
"Even then we don't use Seel to battle all that much. Afraid our star performer might be injured and unable to act!" Violet explained and then giggles "if anything you are actually in luck!" this confused the boy greatly. "We can just give you the badge and no one will be disappointed!"
"That is a great idea Violet!" Lilly exclaimed clapping her hands together and then facing towards the boy. Who seemed somewhat appalled of getting a free badge out of all of this! Without even having a proper gym battle. "Seel!" Lilly commanded while clapping her hands to call the water Pokemon up to the pool surface. In which the water type happily pop its head and swam towards the side of the pool, then hops onto the floor. Sticking its tongue out revealing a tear drop looking item which Daisy; happily grabs it and shows it to Ash.
"Here you go the Cascade badge! It's all yours to take Ash and no hard feelings alright?" The blonde girl explained while moving towards him. "After all we will be able to keep our Pokemon healthy, while in return you can get a gym badge without worrying or needing to wait. For all of our Pokemon to be heal isn't that great!" she cheered happily with a giggle.
"Well-well…I rather earn my badges and not get them for free?" The boy is very hesitant on taking the badge all willy-nilly like this? It…would feel like an empty and hollow victory if he were to just take it. Even Pikachu and Buneary were upset about this and doesn't like the idea of just taking it! Hell with the way Ash has told Buneary and her sister about how strong the gym leaders are?
The rabbit Pokemon would have been excited to see her older sister take on these gym leaders! Having a blast and being able to show her full potential of defeating them and winning with pride! But it seems not today though…and it upsets her greatly "come on don't worry about it! We won't tell anyone that you gotten the badge for free! Be our secret", Daisy winked at the boy. Whom just sighs and with shaky movements with his right hand.
Was ready to lift up and grab the badge from the older girl. Not at all feeling enthusiastic about this at all and is even questioning if he rather waits till their Pokemon are healed? And then challenge them at a later date and time? Well he won't have to wait any longer! The doors of the gym were slammed opened with a loud bang!
Shocking and surprising everyone in the room too turning their attention towards the entrance. With a female shouting out "How pathetic can you three be! Can't you see the boy doesn't want the badge, without actually earning it!" it was Misty! Showing a very scary and threatening scowl towards the group down below the stair case.
"Mi…Misty?!" Ash, Pikachu and Buneary were a bit surprised to see the girl here? And even more so when she managed to somehow leap from the top of the steps, and land perfectly between Ash and the older girls. Swiping away the Cascade badge from Daisy hand "what are you doing here?" Ash wanted to say it only to shake his head and caused Misty. To squeak out when he growls out "And what was that whole crap about the gym being torn down and haunted huh!"
Making the girl to chuckle sheepishly and moving away from the ticked off kid. "Well-well you see…I that is to say I uh?" Misty stuttered out with each word of her voice. Being caught in her throat and then widen her eyes and flushed deeply. Only to then begin sweating bullets when she felt Daisy hand laying on her shoulder with a tight grip. Lowering her head down to her ears with a very serious look on her face.
"Yeah Misty going around telling fake stories about our gym again?" Threaten Daisy and then watches the girl moving away and stepping close towards the pool. Waving her hands in defense "what are you doing back here anyway?" Once more Daisy spoke and gave a very menacing look at the young girl. Or more of all three of them were giving Misty the evil eyes.
Causing Ash and the two Pokemon there to blink their eyes in confusion along with how they all know each other? "Hey", the boy dared to speak up and chuckled lightly "how…do you all know each other?" He then felt Violet and Lilly appearing behind his back. Forcing him to look at one another and then facing forward with a very shock expression when they said.
"Misty is our little sister and the tomboy of the group!" They both announced in unison. Causing the young girl to growl out and gritting her teeth wide. Hardening her shoulders tightly up to her chin with her fist raising up. "Compare to us Misty is the least beautiful of the sensational sisters!" then the two of them began laughing and chortling from their remarks.
Having Daisy to sigh out and shook her head stopping Misty from lashing out "no seriously Misty why are you back? Didn't you told us you won't be coming back until you're a great Pokemon trainer?" Daisy asked with a confused expression. Watching how the girl looked up at her and then away, chewing her lip lightly.
Only to clear her throat "I've been hearing rumors how my sisters were doing a poor job. Of being gym leaders that", she then lifted a hand with a smug look on her face. "I decided to come back and give them a little hand on beating their next opponent!" making Daisy to laugh lightly. Seeing through the girls rouse and knows that she actually is concerned about the status of their gym. After being told and called from Daisy herself about how all their Pokemon right now, are in the Pokemon center. Asking the young girl if she could spare some time to come back at Cerulean and run the place for a while.
Only to be told harshly from the girl she had made a promise and will not come back. No matter what or how much begging the older sisters give to her. "Yeah Misty just face it!" Violet voice broke out from Daisy thoughts having the blonde sister. To face palm lightly knowing the other two will just add fuel to the fire…only to then blankly stare at the floor from the next thing she said. "What makes you think can beat this boy?" The girl then happily bends down and picks up Pikachu into her arms. Giggling and nuzzling against the happy Pokemon "his cute Pikachu will easily defeat all the water type Pokemon you have!"
Making Misty to sweat drop at that notion being right "…right didn't think about that? Wait!" She then widen her eyes and face the three "is that the reason why you're giving him the badge!?" This did not occur to Ash at all and nearly forgotten about how electric types? Can easily defeat Water type Pokemon in a battle which means…the gym leaders knew about this and was going to hand him the badge for free!
"OF course you think we are that stupid to face off against Electric types?" Lilly then giggle "yeah sure we are daring against Grass type Pokemon, but knowing how they can be slow at times. We don't worry about them all that much!" she then roughly knuckled her fist into Misty's head. Causing the young sibling to growl and shout at her of letting her go.
"Hey if that is what you three", only for Ash to quickly corrected himself when Misty glared at him. "I mean four…are worried about? I can always fight you guys with my other Pokemon if you want?" The boy then smiled when all four of them blinked their eyes and stared at one another. Even Pikachu had to blink his eyes and then whined out. Earning Ash to look at him and lean over at his buddy face "sorry Pikachu but the girls are right. If you were to battle it will make things way too easy and end the fight quickly." He then pets Pikachu head and had the electric mouse smiling brightly when the next thing the boy said "but if you think about it? This will give the other Pokemon some experience in battling! After all I did promise Lopunny didn't I."
Having Pikachu nodding quickly from the boy being correct! Ash did promise Lopunny on their way here, she will be the first Pokemon he will choose. To battle the gym leader here and have her first real challenging fight "Pi-pikachu pika!" he chanted and hops out from Violet arms and into Ash's. Having the boy chuckle and laughing out from seeing how understanding Pikachu is.
"Buneary ary!" even Buneary is excited about being able to watch her sister fight. While also explaining to Pikachu that he can stand by her side. Cheering both Ash and his Pokemon on the sidelines, making the electric mouse to smile happily. Then felt Ash turning towards Misty raising a fist up to his chest.
"What do you say Misty? Shall we have an official gym battle", and then chuckle "to be honest I am curious of what kind of water type Pokemon you have with ya!" earning a bright and challenging smile from the girl. As they clasps hands with one another and giving a firm nod towards the boy.
"Challenge accepted Ash! Plus I am also a gym leader here so don't think I won't be easy on you!"
Xxx
After that and preparing the Pokemon gym arena with Ash and Misty. Standing at each end of the giant pool with floating platforms on the surface of the water. Ash's Pokemon Pikachu and Buneary standing close by with Daisy, Violet, Lilly and their Pokemon Seel. Are awaiting eagerly for the battle to begin between the two teens on the end of the pools. Wondering what kind of Pokemon Misty will be using? Along with how many Pokemon they will use in battle.
"This will be a 2 on 2 Pokemon battle! The challenge Ash Ketchum from Pallet town, will be facing off against Misty the gym leader for the Cascade badge!" Daisy announced out while raising her hand to each opponent and then lower her arms "the challenger will be the only to be able recall his Pokemon. Alright trainers begin!"
"I'll use my star water Pokemon!" Misty began while raising her Pokeball and then her arm high above her head "Staryu I choose you!" and threw the ball forward letting it soar straight towards the water and burst open. With stream of white energy revealing what appears to be a sea star shape Pokemon on the water surface? The color of it body being brown with gold star shape around the middle with a big ruby sphere glistening from being wet.
"Staryu huh?" Ash pondered while reaching into his pocket and pulling out the Pokedex. Then faces it towards the water Pokemon. Who is swimming from left and right on the surface as the dex pinged!
"Staryu the Water star shape Pokemon: Staryu center section has an organ called the core that shines bright red. If you go to the beach at the end of summer, the glowing core of these Pokemon look like the stars of the sky." Informed the Pokedex. The boy then put it away and smiles brightly.
"Alright then the Pokemon I will be choosing", Ash then moved a hand up towards his hat and spun it around to the back of his head. Grabbing one of his Pokeball and threw it forward "Lopunny I choose you!" exclaimed the boy and watches the rabbit Pokemon coming out from the ball and landing on one of the floating platforms.
"Lopunny!" Cheered the Pokemon while already going into her fighting stance. Grinning brightly at the competition and Ash keeping his promise. Of letting her be the first Pokemon of his choice for this gym battle.
"Heh just because it is a fully evolve Pokemon Ash! Doesn't mean she will be able to win easily, go Staryu start things off with Water gun!" commanded Misty and heard the Pokemon crying out as it immediately hops onto one of the platforms. Bending the top of its body forward and began firing off powerful streams of water towards Lopunny.
"Lopunny dodge the water gun and counter back with a quick attack!" Ash shouted while swinging his arm from left to right. Watching the rabbit Pokemon do just that by hopping lightly to the right, avoiding the water gun complete and then darted forward! With incredible speed and white energy trailing right behind her easily running on top of the water!
"Dodge Staryu!" Misty quickly commanded and watched the Pokemon twirled out of the way. Making Lopunny completely missing "good now tackle attack go!" which the Pokémon cried out and started spinning right back towards Lopunny. Only to completely missed when Lopunny shifted her eyes at it and slammed her foot down hard on the platform!
Quickly leaping into the air dodging the tackle attack completely! "Great job Lopunny now use Ice beam!" Ash threw a fist forward with a wide smile. Lopunny moved her upper body back: beginning to charge blue energy around her muzzle and then thrust her face forward firing off beams of ice towards Staryu.
"Watch out Staryu!" Misty cried out with slight panic in her voice. Watching her water Pokemon who recovered from its tackle attack? Began diving into the water and swimming with incredible speed away from the multiple beams of light. Hitting and exploding on contact with the water surface forming very tiny icicles on the pool surface!
"Wow I never realized how good Misty will be?" Violet announced with amazement in her tone. As the three girls watches the Pokemon trying their best, to hit one another and making contact with one another. Only to be struggling and having trouble doing so as both of their speeds are great!
"I'll say and that Ash kid not bad himself? Never have I seen a battle like this before…not even with previous trainers we fought?" Lilly stated with a firm nod. Hearing Pikachu and Buneary cheering and screaming out for Lopunny! Wishing her luck and telling her how great she is doing!
"Water gun!"
"Lopunny Ice punch your way through it!" Both trainers commanded as Lopunny. Who landed back onto a platform quickly pulled her fist back and having it glowing lightly blue. Too then charges forward with great speed, watching the Staryu landing into the water and began firing burst after burst of Water gun at the rabbit Pokemon.
Who is swerving left and right at first and when she gotten close? Punches forward and forces her way through the Water gun. Grunting and gritting her teeth from receiving decent amount of damage from the move, but preserver and manages to land a powerful blow into the star shape water Pokemon with a loud boom. Sending it skidding over top of the water and into one of the walls near Ash. "Alright! Way to go Lopunny!"
"Not over yet Ash! Staryu swift attack let's go!" Misty commanded and threw her arm upward. Causing both Ash and Lopunny to widen their eyes in surprise! Watching the Water type Pokemon dislodging itself from the wall and spun its way into the air; it then straight itself out. But still spinning itself in place firing off fast and rather large star shape energy attacks at Lopunny!
The rabbit Pokemon could not escape in time as she is unable to move right away. Her body began twitching and flinching badly from the multiple hits she was receiving as well the stars. Exploding on her when making contact "Lopunny are you alright!" Ash cried out when she flew backwards and slamming down on the next platform over.
Groaning and shaking her head lightly from the damage she received "don't let her recover Staryu! Quick use rapid spin attack go!" Misty commanded and watches the Staryu flattening itself out and begins spinning rapidly through the air and straight at the recovering Lopunny who managed to get back onto her feet. Though wobbled a bit from being slightly dizzy and shot her eyes open while looking up at the Pokemon.
"Lopunny you are faster and let's prove it too Misty by using Quick attack! Then follow up with Return!" The brown fur Pokemon did as so. By running quickly forward and leaping right over the star Pokemon, tugging her arms close to her chest. Watching carefully as the spinning Pokemon flew right underneath her!
"No Staryu get out of there quick!" Misty screamed in panic and then closes her eyes. From watching Lopunny landing onto one of the platform edges and gathered a small amount of energy in her hands. Then clap them together firing off what looked like a medium size energy beam straight at Staryu, who shouted out in pain and got blown away from the moderate power move. Sending it skidding and skipping on top of the Pool. To then coming to a complete stop sinking down into the pool and then floated back up. With the jewel in the middle of its body flickering and blinking badly "oh no Staryu is almost out of power!" Misty stated with twitching brows.
"How can you tell? It doesn't even have a face?" Ash asks with a confused expression. Then blink his eyes when Misty eye smiled and replied back to Ash. Saying she can feel and know what her Pokemon conditions are without needing a face. Making the boy to cross his arms deadpanning "oh and I can't?"
"Staryu come on go and use your Water pulse attack! Don't let Lopunny win easily!" Misty cheered out with a fist pump. Watching her Pokemon diving into the water and quickly shot out into the air with a hiya! Water then began flowing through each tip of its body ready to fire a powerful pulse of water at Lopunny.
"Lopunny don't be intimidated! It is still low on energy and you're not, now go and finish it before it can attack!" Lopunny squealed happily as she began running forward, hopping and bouncing to each platform with relative ease.
"Now fire!" Misty tug both of her arms close to her and watches Staryu spun its body and fired what looked like an orb of water surrounding by a ring of water. Sending it straight down at the fast approaching Lopunny!
"Lopunny twirl jump away from the blast and finish it off with Ice beam!" And so Lopunny follows his command and does exactly that! Leaping up into the air and making sure there was a twirl when doing so, allowing her to easily raise her body over and right above the water pulse attack. Causing Misty to widen her eyes in disbelief. Soon as Lopunny reached her highest point of her jump. Fires off a quick burst of blue energy beam towards the Staryu, making a direct contact and encasing it into a giant block of ice!
In turn hurtling the water Pokemon straight down towards the pool platform. Erupting and shattering the ice completely off from its body. Lying flat on the platform unmoving and not even flinching its body! The gem in the middle of the Pokemon continued flashing and dimming only to then fully went dark "Oh no!" cried the red head girl. Watching Lopunny coming down and landing with grace onto a nearby platform, while then squealing happily with her paws. Raising up to her chin and immediately runs straight towards Ash in delight!
"Staryu is unable to battle! This victory goes to Lopunny!" Daisy called out with her arm raised in the air. Smiling and giggling from hearing Pikachu and Buneary. Cheering and woot for Lopunny and her amazing first ever battle with a gym leader's Pokemon! They then laughed happily when Lopunny tackled Ash down on the floor, hugging and nuzzling in great delight over her first win! With Ash happily chuckling back at the female Pokemon. Rubbing and petting her head telling her how a great job she did!
"You were awesome Staryu, thank you for an amazing match there now return." Misty spoke softly and proudly to her Pokemon. Recalling it back into the ball and having it face towards her, giving the water Pokemon a caring smile.
Xxx
The three sisters who watched the battle had to be impress with Misty. She handled that battle like a real gym leader would. Especially when up against a very fast and agile opponent like Lopunny! Violet and Lilly just thought of the girl being somewhat a loud mouth, who just boast things about being a strong trainer or water type trainer. But seeing this just proved too them she was not all bark of her words.
"I didn't even know Misty could even handle such intense battling like that?" Violet blinked her eyes in disbelief as the other sister nodded lightly. "The way she is able to stay calm and collective in that fight is really impressive."
"Even her Staryu put up an amazing fight." Lilly then look towards the Lopunny and her somewhat drenched fur. Panting and breathing heavily from using so much energy and stamina during that battle with Misty's Staryu "and at the end she managed to wore down the Lopunny, it doesn't look like it can handle anymore hit or is able to deliver couple more attacks?" she stated getting Pikachu and Buneary to look up at them.
Then back at each other with smiles with Pikachu, asking Buneary if she is worried about Lopunny? Only to get a response from her shaking her head no. Then pumped her paws lightly with a giggle saying how she will be proud of her sister no matter what! Even if she does faint or not in her second round after all: Pokemon can only go so far in battles that fighting even just one Pokemon, can wear them down greatly!
"Seel seel, seel, seel!" the sea lion Pokemon chanted out and clapping its flippers against one another. Cheering and clapping on the battle in front of it. Making the three sisters and the two Pokemon; to stare at it with collective sweat drops. Wondering exactly which side it is clapping for?
Clearing her throat and getting into position for the next round. Daisy raises her hand and told the trainers are they ready for their second match? "Lopunny", Ash spoke up while resting a hand on her shoulders. Having the rabbit Pokemon tilting her head at him trying hard to keep her breathing even "are you able to continue? There is no shame in losing." He explained to her and then smiled when she gave him a thumbs up and nods firmly "alright then I am sticking with Lopunny!"
Misty giggled as she heard the rabbit chanting her name and hops forward on the platform once more. "You have a lot of confidence in your Pokemon Ash", Misty then closes her eyes "that is good…A trainer should always trust and believe in their Pokemon." She then open her eyes with a strong look as she grabs her next Pokeball "so I am going to put faith into my next Pokemon! Starmie come on out and wipe the floor on Lopunny!" she shouted and threw the pokeball forward and watches it burst open.
Revealing another star shape Pokemon onto the battle field! But this time seemingly bigger and wider than Staryu earlier. Along with the coloring being that of purple with a lot more pointed tips on its body, making Lopunny to glare at it with gritted teeth. Somewhat worried that this thing might take her out in one single blow.
"Starmie the mysterious Pokemon: Starmie swims through the waters by spinning its star-shape body as if it's like a propeller. The core at the center of the Pokemon body glows in seven colors!" Informed the Pokedex before Ash pocketed it back into his jacket.
"Alright Lopunny let's win this and get ourselves a gym badge. I want you to try and conserve much energy you can!" informed the boy. Making the rabbit to nod in approval already liking where the boy is thinking! Cause if she can save much energy during this battle and weaken the Starmie? His next Pokemon will be able to come in and finish where she left off!
"That what you think now Starmie let kick things off with Swift attack!" Misty shouted with her arms moving forward. Hearing her Pokémon crying out and immediately darted right out of the water and straight into the air. With such speed and agility causing both Ash and Lopunny to look at the Pokemon in disbelief!
Once it reach to its highest point it began spinning rapidly in midair. Firing off a dozen of stars in rapid session straight towards Lopunny. "Quick attack get out of there and fast Lopunny!" Ash commanded with haste, watching his Pokemon do just that by running forward and across the surface of the Pool. Having a white energy trailing right behind her, swerving left and right as the explosions from the stars were erupting right behind her. "Good job and now-", before he could even get the command in Misty interrupted with a chuckle.
"Go and use Hydro pump!" forcing Ash to widen his eyes and whip up at the Starmie direction. Watching it cease firing of its swift attack. Then move multiple parts of its body down at Lopunny and fired off a huge blast of water straight down at the Lopunny. Who squeaked out in surprise from not being hit, but instead the platform she landed on? Got a direct hit and flipped itself upward sending Lopunny backwards and straight into the water with a loud splash!
"Lopunny no!" Ash cried out and watches the rabbit struggling a bit on the surface. Doing her best to quickly swim towards the edge of the platform. Only to scream out in pain from Starmie landing right in front of her and fired another Hydro pump attack at the rabbit. Sending her flying and gliding over the surfaces of the pool! And then crashes into the wall being pushed and shoved into it from the heavy force the hydro pump is giving and then stops. Letting the rabbit Pokemon to fall forward and splashes into the water: resurfacing back up with swirls in her eyes groaning lightly.
"Lopunny is unable to battle! This round goes to Starmie and Misty!" Daisy commanded and thrust her hand over at the younger sister. Who cheered and jumps in joy from the easy sweep Starmie gave! Despite Lopunny being tuckered out from her previous fight, no way Misty would want to prolong her fight with it. On the account those Ice punch, Return and Ice beam can be quite painful if they were to land on Starmie.
"You did great Lopunny you've earn a good rest", Ash recalled the rabbit back to her ball. Staring at it for a few seconds and then firmly nodded. He then stood back up facing back into the battlefield and Starmie…"Starmie is very powerful and fast! With that Hydro pump attack it will be difficult to dodge and avoid it." The boy then closes his eyes and thinks of what he should do next? Let alone what Pokemon will be able to tank that attack while still being fast? "Ninetails is fast but her fire typing will be horrible for this…Lucario might be able to win? But will she be able to swim if she gets knocked down into the pool?" That is another factor Ash has to take into account. All of his Pokemon are land based and not water based.
One wrong step or move they will easily fall into the waters and try their best to get back onto the platforms! Leaving Misty and her Starmie a chance to get in a free hit and win the battle. "I know this maybe risky and somewhat stupid? But you're the only fast one I have so go Ninetails!" he shouted and tosses the pokeball forward. Releasing the Pokémon from within as she appears on the platform in front of him and letting out a loud roar of her name, then lowers her front body down much she could growling and snarling at Starmie.
"Did he…seriously send out a fire type to face off against a water type Pokemon?!" Violet and Lilly shouted together. Wondering if the boy has clearly lost it? "Hey kid don't you know fire types are weak to water! Are you trying to throw away the victory!?" Lilly shouted at the boy. Who didn't look like is budging or even acknowledging her statement. This even made Daisy wonder the same thing?
"I understand not probably a flying type or a fast Pokemon to handle Starmie? But what is he thinking?" The blonde then look over at the Ninetails noticing how her fur is quite different than a regular Ninetails? But at the same time very determine and ready for battle despite being up against Water, or surrounding by a pool filled with it! "Well whatever he has planned hope he knows what he is doing?"

"You know Ash just made this easy for us!" Misty threw her hand up "alright Starmie this won't take long, go and use Water gun attack!" and off goes the water type Pokemon. Splashing into the water and gliding across the surface. Bending down the top of its body forward ready to fire its attack!
"Ninetails every time it bends its body! It is going to be using a water type move, so quick get out of the way and counter with Ember!" The boy shouted and heard his Pokemon yipping out her name. Ninetails immediately jumps out of the way from the water gun attack without any problems, sliding on the long boarded platform a bit. She then opened her mouth and fired off multiple ember rocks at the Starmie!
"Starmie swim around them and press on with Rapid spin attack!" Misty watches the Pokemon easily swerving and dodging the embers Ninetails is firing off. Starmie once it got close enough flew out of the water and begins spinning on its side right at the fire type Pokemon.
"Tail whip attack Ninetails! Knock it away before it can touch you!" Ash threw his arm forward and watches Ninetails lowering her body, waiting for the right moment of when it comes close. Then her eyes glinted as she quickly spun her rear around and thwack the Starmie away with all nine of her tails! Causing it to bounce and skip against the pool surface!
"Whoa what a powerful tail whip!?" Daisy shouted in complete shock. Not expecting a defensive move like Tail whip to be use in such a way? Let alone being able to knock Starmie off course with its rapid spin attack!
"Hang in there Starmie and counter attack with Water pulse!" Misty commanded while letting the Pokemon know it can handle something like that. She watches the star shape Pokemon flying up into the air and gather the same amount of water like Staryu did for this attack. Though at a faster rate with the orb of water flying straight at Ninetails.
"Ninetails quick attack and then follow up with another Tail whip attack!" Ash shouted, making everyone there to blink their eyes. Of why another Tail whip attack? Is he hoping too lowering Starmies defenses enough, so Ninetails can easily damage it physically? They watched on and can hear Pikachu, Buneary cheering on for the fire Pokemon.
Watching her gathering white energy behind her and ran forward. Hopping over the water like there is no problem, landing perfectly on the next platform over. Avoiding just barely of the water pulse attack as she leaps into the air. "Quick Water gun!" Misty quickly shouted making Ash to step back and then closes his eyes.
Hearing Ninetails screaming out in pain while being pushed back down into the platform. From the powerful water gun attack making a direct hit. "Ash should give up now…no Fire type has ever survived against Starmies water type moves." Violet silently stated towards Lilly. Who nodded in agreement but can't help but feel this is not over?
"Ninetails come on you got to get up!" Ash cried out in fear and gritted teeth. Watching his Pokemon struggling and flinching on the ground, drenched and soaked badly from the water gun attack. "I know you can do it! You are faster than it is!" He complemented and watches the Ninetails opening her red eyes and snarling out. Forcing herself back onto her feet, hearing the Starmie whipping straight down towards her.
"This is over!" Misty commented then blink her eyes in confusion when Ash replied.
"It's not over yet not in a long shot! Quick attack!" Ash commanded while moving his arm back and then thrust it forward. Watching Ninetails shoulder tackling Starmie directly into its core!
"How can she still move!?" Misty shouted in disbelief watching her Pokemon go flying backwards. Then slamming its pointed feet into the platform. "Doesn't matter another water type move should finish her off, go and use Hydro pump!" commanded the girl "make sure you do it in rapid sessions, don't let the Ninetails come anywhere close!"
The Starmie chanted out its name while bending one of the pointed ends of its body forward, firing off powerful streams of water! That looked to be able to knock out Ninetails in one blow!
"Alright Ninetails hurry and use Quick attack before it hits ya!" There wasn't much the boy can do by moves. Ninetails only has Ember, Quick Attack, Confuse…ray "Wait that's it!" He smiled almost forgetting her third move completely!
Making the girls to blink their eyes in wonder what it is the boy thought of? As they watch Ninetails dodging and doing her best to avoiding the Hydro pump. Watching the move blast away and slamming down against each platform Ninetails is running on, though knew she will be running out of space soon if Ash doesn't come up with something quick! "Ninetails turn around and charge at Starmie!" Ash smiled and watches the female Pokemon eyes widen in confusion, only to then face forward and smirked.
"Is he crazy!? Water pulse let's go before Ninetails can get in close!" Misty commanded with haste, watching her Pokemon stopping its hydro pump and began spinning its back quickly. Forming and gathering water on the top of its body and then fired the orb of water straight towards Ninetails!
"Jump into the air and follow up with Confuse ray!" Ash commanded causing everyone there to open their mouths in complete awe and shock. They watch the fire Pokemon easily dodging the water pulse attack completely and then had its eyes glowing eerily. Forcing Starmie to step back sweat dropping from the intense glare the Pokemon is giving. It then began wobbling and stumbling over its own feet as if it lost its balance completely!
"Starmie what's wrong quick use Water gun!" Misty cried out and then watches her Pokemon instead. Jumping into the air straight at Ninetails "no don't jump towards her! Water gun Starmie quick!" Misty cried out and right before Ninetails could shoulder tackle it? She instead kick jump off from the Pokemon body, forcing it to spin in midair and firing water gun everywhere. Soaking and drenching the floors and spectators watching the battle. Even Misty's sisters, Pikachu and Buneary as they cried out in defense trying to defend themselves from the move.
"Alright Ninetails finish it off with one more tail whip and then follow up with Quick attack!" Ash pumped his arm in glee. Watching her yipping happily as she runs forward and right in front of the Starmie, after it landed back down on the platform. She then backflip sending her tails up into the Pokemon sending it into the air.
"Starmie no!" Misty shouted and watches Ninetails using her quick attack to follow right behind it and pounding right into the core once more sending it straight down into the pool waters. "Starmie I know you can still do it! I believe in you fight through the confusion and use Hydro pump!" Misty announced while throwing her arm from right to left.
Misty then smiled as she saw Starmie coming out from the pool surface and fired off one last Hydro pump straight up at the free falling Ninetails. "Ninetails!" Ash panicked on the account he thought that would have done it! That would have ended the battle but no, seems like Starmie is more resilient than he thought. Although everyone had to blink their eyes when they saw Ninetails, different tails shooting upward and gathering a heatwave around them.
"What the?"
"What's going on with Ninetails?"
"Why is it getting really hot in here?" Everyone has commented and stared in awe at the way everything seems to be melting around the fire type Pokemon. Who moved her head back, opening her mouth with a cry of her name with fire gathering inside her mouth. She then slammed her mouth shut, containing the flames within her mouth and then let it all out in one powerful blow! FLAMETHROWER is what she is using and countering against Starmies hydro pump attack and even pushing through it!
Burning and erupting roughly and roaring with intense power that it engulfed Starmie completely! All the while having steam and smoke flying out of the pool surfaces and boiling the water. Ninetails then stopped her attack and landed onto the platform with a heavy thump, but still managed to struggle herself back onto her feet. Panting and breathing heavily, sweating profusely from overly exhausting her energy in that last move of hers!
Everyone were on edge and waiting for the steam to pass. In order to see if that Flamethrower attack finished off Starmie or not? Once it did started passing and clearing up the pool area, everyone were leaning forward or were on the edge of their seats. With Seel still clapping and chanting its name repeatedly, making Violet and Lilly to wonder exactly why it is still clapping its fins?
The steam finally resided and began clearing up for everyone to see the conditioned Starmie is in. Only for Misty to gasp and widened her eyes…the gem or core of the Pokemon is completely dark. Indicating and meaning that it had fainted, passed out from the intense power the flamethrower Ninetails unleashed! Raising her arms Daisy shouted and with impressed tone in her voice announced "Starmie is unable to be battle! This victory goes to Ninetails as well as the match of this battle is over! Ash Ketchum is the winner!"
"We did it…We DID IT!" Scream the boy as he began running and hopping over the platforms of the pool. Dive bombing straight towards Ninetails and bringing her into a hug "I knew you could do it Ninetails, I just knew you could! Way to go!" he shouted and glee out. Making Ninetails to yip and chanted happily, nuzzling and licking Ash on the cheek. While then proceeded to get dog piled on from Pikachu and Buneary next. With the little rabbit sending out her sister so she can congratulate her on amazing job!
"Starmie return", Misty announced and then smiled "you did an excellent job Starmie. Now take it easy okay?" She then look towards the happy Pokemon and Ash. Going through her thoughts of how well he able to handle the situation, along with being able to use Ninetails and Lopunny effectively for being land type Pokemon "I did not expect him to actually win without his Pikachu? Let alone being able to do so with his fire type Pokemon. He sure is full of surprises that Ash…"

"Here you go you deserve this more than anyone!" Daisy announced standing outside of the gym. Handing Ash the Cascade badge towards the boy. Smiling brightly at the way the boy couldn't contain his excitement and did a pose.
"Alright I got…The Cascade badge!" He shouted and had Buneary and Pikachu cheering along with the boy. Eying and looking at the tear drop looking badge, from the boy kneeling down and showing them the badge. He then stood up and faced at the four sisters who were smiling and clapping for him.
"I have to agree Ash the way you battled and performed impressively, despite the disadvantage with Ninetails?" Misty began while placing her hands on her hips. "I can see some promise in ya, though I'm not getting my hopes up of you being able to beat ALL the gym leaders." Making Ash to let out a sarcastic chuckle and then snicker. When Misty choked out when Lilly wrapped her arms around her neck into a headlock.
"Says the girl who promised herself to becoming an expert Pokemon trainer hm?" Teased out her sister and thrashing about with Misty. Trying her best to get out from the headlock and breaking herself free from her only for Violet to join in as well.
"Anyway…if he go in that direction Ash? You should be able to reach the next town over. Vermilion city, there you will find the next gym and badge." Daisy then smiled while rubbing his head roughly shifting his hat. "Now take care alright and don't forget how you battled today."
Thus with his next gym badge in his hands and saying good bye to the sensational sisters of the Cerulean city gym? Ash and his Pokemon are on their way once more into the roads and routes in search for his next Gym battle and possibly earning his third gym badge of the Kanto league! All the while witnessing an impressive power from Ninetails, unleashing the powerful fire type move Flamethrower and won her fight against Starmie!
What new and exciting adventures awaits for our young hero and his Pokemon? As the journey continues…
