The mud hit Onix's face, causing him to roar from the stinging sensation. But it was more a roar of anger than pain. "Hmph, Onix, crush that Mudkip with Bind!" The enormous pokemon roared again, shaking the mud from his face as he lashed out with his tail, ready to squeeze the life out of the tiny Mudkip.

Sam froze momentarily. Whatever happened, she could not let that Onix bind Star. It would kill her!
"Star! Blast it's face off with Water Gun, but don't let it catch you!"
Star understood all too well. She debated over taking the risk of using Water Gun or playing it safe and missing a turn. She took the former choice. If she was going to go out, she was going with a bang. As the Onix's tail approached, she stood her ground, gathering all the water she could into one powerful blast.

"Hmm, keep going Onix!" Onix got blasted in the face with the water gun which stung a lot, but the big pokemon didn't lose it's drive. If anything it only made Onix angrier, the Rock Snake pokemon gritted his teeth through the pain from the water blast and pushed this head through it, shooting his tail out again to crush the Mudkip. Onix wouldn't let himself lose here, he was Brock's trump card in battles like these. With his massive size and brute force he would plow through anythign in his way!

Sam saw the tail wrap around Star's body, the littlest boulders on the end still bigger than Star's entire body. It wrapped around several times, leaving only Star's head barely visible. She struggled against the gigantic boulders, but she was quickly losing energy. Sam shared her earlier sentiment.
"Star, go out with a bang! Water Gun with all your might!" Sam knew Star's ability had to be kicking in, and that hopefully meant a quick end. If not...she gripped Miles' pokeball. She had to wait and see.

Onix squeezed the little pokemon with ease, tightening his grip and constricting slowly. But suddenly a sharp pain shot through his body from his tail as water erupted from every crack, the Mudkip was fighting back! A surprised look came across Brocks face as he saw this happen, he was sure the little Mudfish couldn't do anything now! Onix's grip loosened and he dropped the Mudkip, his tail flailing aroudn from that powerful attack. "You ok there Onix?" Onix had taken some heavy damage from that attack, but he still had some fight in him. It wasn't much, but he wasn't ready to give in to this little squirt yet. "Alright then Onix, Show them the power or Rock Pokemon, finish her off with Rock Tomb!" Onix roared with rage as he slammed the ground with his tail, causing a trail of rocks to shoot upwards heading for Mudkip.

Sam groaned at the sight of the rocks flying towards Star. The last attack had really taken it out of her, and she lay panting, hardly moving. She struggled to her feet to dodge the rocks, but she wasn't quick enough. One of the boulders landed on her back, and she collapsed.
"Star!" Sam cried out, fearing for the little pokemon. She quickly recalled her, and brought out her second pokeball.
"Mudkip is unable to battle. Will the challenger please send out her second and final pokemon?"
"Already on it...Miles use Low Kick! Knock that big snake down!" Miles emerged running, launching himself at the delicate boulders the Onix balanced on, with one foot raised.

Onix, completely taken by surprise of the sudden attack from the speedy white monkey looking pokemon rushed at him. The sudden kick was enough to knock him off balance and cause Onix to fall, and begin such a big and heavy pokemon Onix took some serious damage. "Ah, Onix!" Brock called out, watching as Onix lay there on the ground. It appeared that that Mudkip had taken more out of him than he had originally thought.
"....Um, Onix is unable to battle. The winner is the Challenger!" The judge called out, surprised at how quickly that exchange had been.
"...Huh. Low Kick...quite a troublesome move for a pokemon like Onix. Congratulations, the battle goes to you." Brock said with a sigh, but he had a small smile on his face as well. He loved watching new young trainers get off the ground and start their journey towards the pokemon league.

Sam was speechless. She stood there frozen as the judge looked at Brock, and as Brock said his congratulations. Had she really just won? She felt light-headed. She wasn't sure what was causing it. She felt Miles tugging on her dress. She looked down, and he looked at her expectantly. He held out his hands.
"I don't have a chestnut Miles." He ripped her pack off he shoulders, not believing her. As he rifled through the bag, he realized, indeed, she did not have any chestnuts. He flew into a rage, but Sam sedately recalled him. She waited for something to happen as she put the pokeball in her dress pocket.

Brock, still a little surprised, calmly made his way over to Sam. "Not bad for a new trainer." At this point Jerry ran over with a box and handed it to Brock. Opening it, he held it out for her. "Congratulations, you have earned the Pewter City Boulder Badge. And as a gift I'd like you to have this TM as well." He said, referring to the disk in the box, next to the hexagonal gray badge as well as some prize money. "That's TM39, Rock Tomb. It's a move that stops a Pokemon's movements with stones and cuts their speed." He smiled at her, glad to have had an interesting battle. "Your Mudkip is strong, and you Mankey is quite the energetic one. So how was it, your first gym battle?"

Sam took the Badge and TM. She looked at them curiously. The shiny pin was actually really pretty. If she had the choice, she would defeat gym leaders just to earn these shiny pins. The TM was new to her. The bronze colored disc looked fragile. She knew it could only work once. She looked up and saw Brock still waiting for an answer.
"It was...amazing. Oh thanks by the way. They can sometimes be a handful. But I mean it was exhilarating! It was so different, and yet..." She was at a loss for words. She numbly stored the disk in a seperate, protected pocket, and held onto the badge. She didn't have anywhere to store it. To tell the truth, she still felt light-headed, and knew she should probably head to the Pokemon Center for a little R and R. Her pokemon deserved it too. She almost bowed, but instead just humbly hung her head. "Again, thank you so very much. I think I need to go eat or something." She laughed, a bit too brightly. She figured they thought her to be insane. Well, at this point she was, having been off her meds for so long and the win acting like a drug.
'Yeah, okay, I seriously need to sleep' she thought to herself as she walked out the door.

Even with it's reduced agility Metang was simply too tired to effectively dodge, and the Medicham's fist slammed into Metang's underside with tremendous force. All at once the Iron Claw Pokemon became engulfed in electricity. Metang's eyes were squeezed shut as the electricity fizzled out, leaving only a few stray static bolts clinging to his body. That was it, Metang was finished. His normal, metallic humming died down to only a faint murmur and he clattered hard to the ground.
"Metang is unable to battle, the victory goes to Brawly and Medicham," the referee announced, less shakily than before as he held up the flag.
Jaeshan could only smile at the valiant effort Metang had given as he recalled him into his Pokeball. "You did great, Metang," he said quietly, clutching the sphere for a second or so longer than he probably should have. The referee was looking a little impatient at his hesitation and Jaeshan quickly put the sphere away before withdrawing a second. Okay there's no way I'm sending Combusken out there against a Psychic-type, he thought, nodding once before he flung his second Pokeball. "Get things started with Dragon Dance, Shelgon!" he shouted as the sphere hit the ground, releasing the Endurance Pokemon. Without hesitation the armor-clad Dragon began to move her feet to a rhythm that only she seemed to hear, and after a second a bluish-purple aura engulfed her body, signaling that she'd received a boost to both her speed and attack power. "Let's do this," Jaeshan growled determinedly.

Dakra came out of the Pokemon Center, Sherlock and Jack following behind him. The two Pokemon were happily chatting about something. Dakra smiled and continuned forward to the PokeMart. He went inside and looked around.
"Hello, how may I help you?" The lady asked.
"Yes, can you give me 20 Sitrus Berries?" Dakra asked. The lady nodded and handed him a bag.
"That will be 200 Pokedollars." Dakra handed her the money, and walked out. The door slamed and hit Sherlock on the nose. He flew back and landed on Jack. Dakra quickly went back in and picked them up.
Dakra continued walking along Route 30. Desiding it would be quicker to use a bike, he picked up Sherlock and put him in the basket in the front of the bike. Dakra got on the bike, and looked to Jack.
"Streach your wings." He said. Jack nodded, and flew into the air. Dakra started peddling. Off to his first Gym battle.

'Okay this isn't so bad,' Riza thought, gradually allowing herself to ease out of the awkwardness of riding atop a giant, flying metal bird with Keegan. 'Yeah, I'm all right, I can handle this.' She closed her eyes and tried to force the blush from her cheeks, though those efforts failed pretty hardcore the moment the red head's arms tightened around her. If anything, her face flushed redder than before, and in such a shade that it would shame the reddest rose. 'What is he doing?' she thought, suddenly struggling to remember how to breathe. 'Is he trying to kill me?' He let her go just then, and Riza closed her eyes angrily. 'He just thinks I'm afraid of flying,' she realized with a sharp pang. 'He was only trying to make me feel less afraid.' Riza really couldn't care what city they were currently flying over right now, she was too busy hating herself for thinking like that, for thinking so rashly. 'Just friends, just friends,' she repeated in her mind over and over again. 'Just friends.' She opened her eyes and looked down, not seeing anything but a mess of blurred trees and buildings below her. 'It's pretty stupid to hope for him to think of me like that anyway,' her mind continued, and it was helping her to calm down. 'He obviously is into that blonde chick back in Slateport, but why isn't he with her now and vice-versa? Something happened and I wanna know what it is!'
Her brow furrowed as these thoughts tumbled around in her mind, easily occupying her enough to make the remainder of the flight go by relatively quickly. At first she hadn't even noticed they'd landed and again she found herself to be quite impressed by the Skarmory's flawless landing. She never would expect a metal bird to be so...graceful. Again Keegan was reaching a hand out to her and she scoffed lightly and jumped down without his help, landing semi-gracefully on the ground. She looked over at the bird and smiled, finding now that she quite respected him. "Yes, thank you for getting us here safely," she said, grinning a bit impishly when the bird tried to bite Keegan's hand. 'Serves him right,' she thought bitterly, 'for leading me on like that.' It was then that his last words sunk in. "What do you mean, 'direct us to Littleroot Town'?" she demanded, planting her hands on her hips and glaring at him. "I thought you said we were going to Littleroot. What backwater-hick-town are we in now?"

Dakra came up to Route 31. He turned the courner and continued riding towards Violet Town. In the distance he saw Sprout Tower in the distance. The whole trip had been uneventful, and he was pumped for his gym match. He finally came into the town and headed straight for the Gym. A man was blocking the door.
"I'm sorry, but there is already a challanger in there." He said. Dakra nodded and headed to the Pokemon Center. He gave Sherlock and Jack a last minute pep talk.
"He uses flying types, so your smoke screen and Sand Attacks will be very affective IF he doesn't blow them back at you." He said to them. They nodded and yawned. Smiling, Dakra settled down for the night.

Dakra woke up, streching as he yawned. Looking at his watch, he got up and went to the bathroom. After relieving himself, he left the Pokemon Center with Sherlock and Jack.
Dakra headed for the Gym. When he got there the man shook his head.
"Whats wrong?" Dakra said. The man pointed at the sign. He was late!!! After some begging, the man finally let him in. Inside was a huge area in the sky.
"I guess its because he's a flying type person..." Dakra mumbled to himself. He saw the Gym Leader on the other side, and ran towards him.
"I'm Dakra, and I'm going to beat you!"
