Austin's Pokemon Team ~ Wartortle Growlithe Tirtouga Pansage

Alex: (runs to the gym) "I got to hurry!"

Sarah: (Runs after him with Austin) "Why do you always have to do this!"

Alex: (Stops in front of the gym) "Im here!"

Austin: "You should really stop leaving without us."

Alex: "That's how I am," (notices April gone) "Where's April?"

Sarah: "She went to her Grandma's house."

Alex: "Oh."

Austin: (Looks at the gym) "I wonder how the inside will look."

Alex: "There's only one way to find out!" (Runs in)

Alex enters and sees Leonardo there.

GymLeaderLeonardo: "Ready for our battle?"

Alex: "You bet!"

GymLeaderLeonardo: "Alright follow me,"

They walk inside while Austin and Sarah go to the audience.

Alex: (Looks at the streams of lava) "Woah..."

Referee: "The battle between Alex and Leonardo is about to begin! Please choose your pokemon!"

Alex: "Go Corphish!"

Corphish: "Cor!"

GymLeaderLeonardo: "Go Quilava!"

Quilava: "Quil!"

Austin: "Alex has the advantage here, though I don't know if it was smart of him to use Corphish early".

Sarah: "Why?"

Austin: "He could've used much more later for the other pokemon, but he chose to strike immediately."

Alex: "Corphish use Bubblebeam!"

Corphish: "Cor!" (Uses Bubblebeam)

GymLeaderLeonardo: "Quilava quickly use Dig!"

Quilava: "Quil!" (Quickly digs down just barely missing the Bubblebeam)

Corphish: (Keeps an eye out for Quilava.)

Alex: (In mind) 'Dammit, I need to predict where he's gonna come out from.'

Alex: "Corphish Crab Hammer to you're le-"

Alex gets cut off as Quilava quickly jumps out, striking Corphish.

Corphish: "Cor!" (Gets sent back a bit.)

GymLeaderLeonardo: "Now go for Swift!"

Quilava: (Turns and uses Swift)

Alex: "Counter with Crab Hammer!"

Corphish: (Hits the Swifts with Crabhammer, but gets overwhelmed and gets hit.) Cor!

Sarah: "This isn't looking to well..."

Austin: "Yea...That Quilava is just to quick for Corphish..."

Alex: (In mind) 'This isn't going out well immediately...I need to think of something fast...'

GymLeaderLeonardo: "What's your move Alex."

Alex: "Corphish use Crabhammer once more!"

Corphish: "Corrrrphish!" (Charges towards Quilava)

GymLeaderLeonardo: (Smirks) "Flamethrower now!"

As Corphish got close, Quilava uses Flamethrower which hit directly.

Corphish: "Cor!" (Gets sent flying)

Alex: "No..."

Corphish: (Looks back down) "Corrrrr"

Water starts to surround Corphish as he then strikes straight towards Quilava with Aqua Jet.

Quilava: (Gets hit) "Quil!"

Alex: "Woah a new move!"

GymLeaderLeonardo: "Now the party is starting, Quilava Flame Wheel!"

Quilava: (Rolls into a ball and uses Flame Wheel.)

Alex: "Aqua Jet now Corphish!"

Corphish: (Uses Aqua Jet and strikes towards Quilava again)

Both of them hit each other and turn and hit each other multiple times as they suddenly stop in the air.

Alex: "Crabhammer!"

Corphish: "Corrrr!" (Quickly strikes Quilava with Crabhammer)

Quilava: "Quil!" (Hits the wall, but still isn't down even when looking really damaged.)

Corphish: (Pants as he as well looks really hurt)

Sarah: "Those water moves surely damaged Quilava up massively, but Corphish looks like he's about to give out."

Austin: "Both of them look like they're going down soon."

Alex: "You got this Corphish, just a little more!"

GymLeaderLeonardo: "Let's just take Corphish out now, use Flame Wheel!"

Quilava: (Uses Flame Wheel)

Alex: "We'll see about that! Corphish Aqua Jet!"

Corphish uses Aqua Jet as Quilava uses Flame Wheel. They both collide really hard causing a boom.
Both pokemon get sent back, fainted.

Referee: "Both Corphish and Quilava are unable to battle!"

Alex: "Rest up bud (Sends Corphish in pokeball)

GymLeaderLeonardo: (Returns Quilava) "You did well."

Austin: "Now they both only have 2 pokemon left."

Sarah: "Let's see who Alex chooses for Leonardo's next pokemon."

GymLeaderLeonardo: "Camerupt go!"

Camerupt: Ruuuuuu!

Alex: "Alright time to see you shine Sliggoo!"

Sliggoo: "Sliggoooooo!"

Sarah: "I see Alex is immediately putting Sliggoo in a gym battle."

Austin: (Quietly laughs) "He's getting him ready for the future fights to come."

GymLeaderLeonardo: "Camerupt use Eruption!"

Camerupt: "Ruuuuu!" (Uses Eruption)

Sliggoo: (slides around to avoid it, but fails) Goooo!

Alex: (In mind) 'Might of been a bad idea to start Sliggoo battling in a gym immediately...but I think I know a way I can get to defeat Camerupt...I just need wait a bit..,' (looks up) "Dragon Breath Sliggoo!"

Sliggoo: "Sliggoooo!" (Uses Dragon Breath)

GymLeaderLeonardo: "Counter with Flamethrower!"

Camerupt: (Uses Flamethrower)

The both moves hit, but Dragon Breath breaks through the Flamethrower hitting Camerupt.

Camerupt: "Ruuu!"

Austin: "This might be Sliggoo's first battle, but that Dragon Breath had amazing power."

Sarah: "I know it just broke through like nothing!"

GymLeaderLeonardo: "Camerupt use Take Down!

Camerupt: (Charges towards Sliggoo.)

Alex: "Sliggoo jump and use Body Slam!"

Sliggoo jumps and soon is above Camerupt and falls straight down to hit.

GymLeaderLeonardo: "Eruption!"

Alex: Oh no.

Sliggoo: (looks down at the heat charging in Camerupt)

Camerupt: "Ruuuu!" (Uses Eruption)

Sliggoo: (Gets hit critically) "Goo!"

GymLeaderLeonardo: "Alrighty, just a little more."

Alex: "Time to use my idea, Sliggoo use Rain Dance!"

Sliggoo: "Sli!" (Makes Rain Clouds appear as it soon starts pouring)

GymLeaderLeonardo: "That won't change anything! Take Down Camerupt!"

Camerupt: (Charges, but is slowed due to the wet mud .)

Alex: "Body Slam!"

Sliggoo: (Easily slides through the ground and slams Camerupt by the side)

Camerupt: Ruuu! (Gets sent a bit)

Sliggoo: (still slides around the field)

GymLeaderLeonardo: "Eruption!"

Camerupt: "Ruuuu!" (Uses Eruption)

Alex: "Dodge the Eruption by sliding more!"

Sliggoo: (Avoids it using the the speed the rain gave it)

Alex:  "Body Slam again!"

Sliggoo uses Body Slam on Camerupt multiple times, all of them hitting.

GymLeaderLeonardo: "That is enough now! Camerupt Earthquake!"

Camerupt: (Stomps the ground as the Field cracks and some parts lift up.)

Sliggoo: (slides up into the air) Goo!

GymLeaderLeonardo: "Camerupt use Eruption!"

Alex: "Use DragonBreath Sliggoo!"

Both pokemon use their both and cause another boom, sending smoke to cover the arena.

Alex: (sees the pokemon figures a bit through the smoke.) "They're still standing...Sliggoo! Dragon Breath
once more!"

A Dragon Breath was seen used in in the middle of the smoke.

Camerupt: (Gets sent out of the smoke fainted)

Sliggoo: (slides out of smoke looking damaged up) "Goo..."

Referee: Camerupt is unable to battle!

Sarah: "Yes Sliggoo did it!"

Austin: "One more left now, and that's his ace."

Sarah: "Oh yea, hopefully he can beat it."

GymLeaderLeonardo: (Returns Camerupt) "Well Alex, so far I've been impressed, but now the real challenge begins! Go Charizard!

Charizard: "RARGH!"

Charizards echo roars around the Arena and town of Charcoal Island.

Alex: (Sees the Mega stone) "This truly is the real challenge..."

Austin: "As expected from a gym leaders ace."

Sarah: "This isn't gonna be pretty at all."

Charizard: (Glares at Sliggoo.)

Sliggoo: (Backs up) "Goo..."

GymLeaderLeonardo: "Use Sunny Day Charizard!"

Charizard: "RARGH!" (Uses Sunny Day making the rain go away)

Alex: "Sliggoo use Dragon Breath!"

Sliggoo: (Uses Dragon Breath) "Goo!"

GymLeaderLeonardo: "Counter with Flame Burst!"

Flame Burst breaks through Dragon Breath easily damaging Sliggoo.

Sliggoo: (Immediately faints) "Goo..."

Alex: (Returns Sliggoo) "Great job Sliggoo."

Sarah: "That Flame Burst broke through like it was nothing."

Austin: "If that Charizards power is that strong with Sunny Day, imagine his mega form."

Alex: (Takes out his pokeball.) "You're time to shine bud...Go Charizard!"

Charizard: "RARGH!"

GymLeaderLeonardo: "Another Charizard," (smiles) "This is about to get fun."

Both Charizards stare down each other, both looking ready to battle.

Alex: "Charizard use Slash!"

GymLeaderLeonardo: "Charizard use Dragon Claw!"

Both Charizards roar and start battling out. They countered each other's attacks multiple times, but they also hit each other a lot.

GymLeaderLeonardo: "Grab the Charizard then Flame Burst!"

Charizard: (Grabs Charizard then uses Flame Burst at his face)

Charizard: (Falls but immediately gets back up in rage) "RARGH!"

Alex: "Use Flame Charge!"

Charizard flew up towards the other Charizard and hits him.

Charizard: "Rargh!" (Falls and lands on the ground)

Charizard: (Lands too)

Austin: "It's an even battle so far."

Sarah: "They both have the same amount of power."

Alex: "Just to let you know Leonardo, me and Charizard aren't giving up so easily!"

GymLeaderLeonardo: "Hope you keep that word after this!" (Touches Mega Bracelet)

Alex: (Watches) "Here we go."

The Mega Bracelet starts glowing. His Charizard then starts glowing. After a while, he appeared.

Mega Charizard Y: RARGHHHHHHHH!

The lava around the field starts boiling awfully.

GymLeaderLeonardo: "You ready?"

Alex: "I always am."

GymLeaderLeonardo: (Nods) "Then show me that you are!!! Charizard use Fire Punch!!!"

Mega Charizard Y: RARGH! (Charges at Charizard)

Alex: "Counter with Slash!"

Charizard: (Tries to use Slash, but gets punched immediately) Rargh!

Alex: "Slash once more!"

Charizard: (Swings at Mega Charizard Y, but misses and gets hit with another Fire Punch)

GymLeaderLeonardo: "I know you and your Charizard got more than that! Show me your power!"

Mega Charizard Y: (Keeps Fire Punching Charizard)

Alex: "Charizard use Flamethrower!"

Charizard: (Grabs Mega Charizard Y fist and holds it,) "RARGH!" (Uses Flamethrower)

Mega Charizard Y: Rargh! (Gets hit and flys back a bit)

Charizard: (Watches Mega Charizard Y in pain)

Alex: "Charizard use Flame Charge!"

Charizard: (Uses Flame Charge and strikes)

GymLeaderLeonardo: "Counter with Dragon Claw!"

As Charizard flew close, Mega Charizard Y striked and sent Charizard straight to the floor.

Charizard: (Slowly stands up) Rargh...

Alex: "I can't lose like this..."

Sarah: "This isn't looking good at all..."

Austin: "It sure doesn't..."

Sarah: "He's definitely lost it now."

Austin: "Come on Sarah! Have faith in your brother!"

GymLeaderLeonardo: "I had a good feeling that you were able to beat me, but maybe I was wrong Alex. I wanted to see your full potential. I sadly wasn't able too and now I need to end this battle. Charizard use Flare Blitze!"

Mega Charizard Y: "RARGH!" (Charges up fire and strikes down at Charizard)

Alex looked at Charizard as time seemed to go by slow.

Alex: (In his mind) 'It can't be over like this...I can't lose another gym battle...not like last time with father...if only Charizard has a bit more power in him...a bit more energy...'

Mega Charizard Y got much closer to Charizard.

Charizard: (Hears Alex in his mind suddenly and opens his eyes)

Alex: 'Let's show him our true power...Charizard...'

Charizard: ' Rargh '

Alex hears Charizard in his mind too and nods. His eyes glowed blue like previously.

Alex: CHARIZARD USE FLAMETHROWER!!!

Charizard: RARGH!!!

The Flamethrower blasts Mega Charizard Y far from Charizard.

Alex: (eyes go back to normal and falls to one knee, panting)

GymLeaderLeonardo: "That's the power I wanted to see...Dragon Claw!"

Mega Charizard Y: "Rargh!" (Flys towards Charizard again)

Alex: "Dodge then use Slash!"

Charizard: (Dodges and strikes Mega Charizard Y with Slash)

Mega Charizard Y: (Flinches back and strikes Charizard roughly with Dragon Claw)

Charizard: (Falls straight back down, but manages to catch his fall and fly up again)

Alex: "Flame Charge!"

GymLeaderLeonardo: "Flare Blitze!"

Both Charizards roar and collide with a loud explosion and immediately fly much higher into the air.

Alex: (Watches) "Slash!"

GymLeaderLeonardo: "Dragon Claw Charizard!"

Both Charizard start exhanging hits as both Charizards are looking beaten up. Charizard then striked one of Mega Charizard Y wings. Mega Charizard Y fell back and started falling.

GymLeaderLeonardo: "Charizard regain control!"

Alex: "No you don't! Charizard use Seismic Toss!"

Charizard grabs Mega Charizard Y and flys higher.

Alex: "This is my only chance..."

Charizard then throws Mega Charizard Y straight down.

Mega Charizard Y: (Hits the ground hard, but slowly stands back up)

GymLeaderLeonardo: "We still aren't finished!"

Sarah: "You got to be kidding me!"

Austin: (Watches Charizard fly back down)

Alex: "Now use Slash!"

Charizard: "Rargh!" (Uses Slash and strikes Mega Charizard Y)

Mega Charizard Y: (Faints and goes back to normal) "Rargh..."

Referee: "Charizard is unable to battle! So the winner is the challenger Alex!"

Sarah: "He actually did it!"

Austin: "I can't believe it."

GymLeaderLeonardo: "Return Charizard..." (Returns Charizard and looks at Alex)

Alex: (Goes to Charizard and hugs him) "You did amazing bud." (Smiles)

Charizard: "Rargh..."

GymLeaderLeonardo: (Walks towards Alex) "That's the power I wanted to see Alex. You impressed me a lot. Now for your badge. (Pulls out the badge and hands it to him) "You have won the Inferno Badge."

Alex: "Thank you very much."

They soon walk outside the gym.

Alex: "We'll be heading off now."

GymLeaderLeonardo: (nods) "I wish you the best on your journey."

Alex, Sarah, and Austin start walking off.

GymLeaderLeonardo: (thinks for a bit) "Wait Alex!"" (Runs towards him)

The three of them turn around confused.

GymLeaderLeonardo: "My parents are a family that only train fire types, my dad is a collector and I have something that I think you deserve."

A helper comes towards them with a box.

GymLeaderLeonardo: "My dad has told me to give this to anyone I believe is great enough to have this item."

The helper then opens the box which reveals a Mega Stone with a glove and Charizardite X.

GymLeaderLeonardo: "This is for you Alex."

Alex: "No. I can't take it Leonardo, keep it for some other trainer."

GymLeaderLeonardo: (Shakes head) "This is all for you."

Alex stays quiet in shock.

Sarah: "It's a free Mega Stone! Just take it Alex."

Alex: (nods and puts the box in his backpack) "Thats heavy..."

GymLeaderLeonardo: "Now this is really goodbye," (reaches hand out)

Alex: (shakes hand) "Thank you."

Leonardo turns and walks back to the gym as they all look at him leave. Alex smiles and starts walking off as Austin and Sarah follow.
