(In Necro's POV)

I watched as Paul had began to leave the gym after he had gotten his Coal Badge when Ash stopped him by the door.

"Hey aren't you going to watch Necro's and My own battle?" Ash asked him just as he got to the door.

"Necro? who's that?" asked Paul confused as he stopped.

"I'm Necro," I said taking a single step forwards Paul who only node his head My way before he turned to face Ash.

Paul stopped and stared hard at Ash, thinking about it for a moment, before smirking. "What's so funny?" Brock asked.

"To think that you want Me to watch you lose and Necro lose?" Paul answered, laughing a little.

"What did you just say!?" Ash snapped before a fight could start, Dawn stood between the two!

"Alright, you two! Break it up! and also, you already battled Ash once, so why not besides you haven't even seen what Necro can do?" Dawn asked.

Necro grinned lightly as she sighed. "Let Me stay right out of this, Dawn." Necro said pointing out the fact that she might not win after all she didn't have a lot of experience when it actually came down to it?

"Chim." Chimchar agreed. Paul didn't answer them right away, but he looked at Dawn for the moment.

"Huh? What's wrong?" Dawn asked.

"What's wrong? also who are you?" Paul asked. Dawn looked as of she was going to burst with anger!

"Excuse Me for your rudeness, but we've met before! The name is Dawn!" Dawn snapped.

"Don't remember." Paul replied, feeling dull at the moment.

That really burst Dawn up as she grew more red, steaming with anger! "Think you're funny, huh!? WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE, YOU SPOILED BRAT!? APOLOGIZE, NOW!" Dawn bellowed.

Brock and Ash had to hold her to get her away from Paul!

"You're welcome to stay and watch." Roark assured.

"Well, with all this enthusiasm, so just how could I refuse?" Paul smirked.

"Good! Cause I'm gonna show you a new type of battling! Roark, when you're ready, I'm ready!" Ash called.

"Necro and Ash, do you terribly mind if we battle tomorrow? My Pokémon and I have been through some serious battling, and we're exhausted!" Roark explained.

"Well then, tomorrow is fine to us! right Necro?" Ash asked, putting his arms around Necro's left shoulder.

"Sure. If it's necessary, that is." Necro answered, smiling sheepishly.

"Great! Thanks, you two!" Roark thanked. Ash let go of Necro and took a moment to look at Paul, who just smirked.

The group headed towards the Pokémon Center where Ash needed to choose his three Pokémon! Necro already decided on using her Bulbasaur, Luxio, and Chimchar. All of Ash's Pokémon chirped and called to Ash that they wanted to be in the Gym battle! "Calm down, everyone. I know that you all want to battle, but I can only pick the three of you!" Ash explained, calming his Pokémon down.

"You know, to tell you the truth, the only Pokémon you have for the type advantage is your Turtwig, the Grass Type Pokémon!" Brock explained. Turtwig stepped forward and let out a happy cry!

"Turtwig!" Turtwig agreed.

"Then, I'll be counting on you and your Razor Leaf, Turtwig!" Ash chuckled. Turtwig nodded in acceptance.

"You know, Ash, Aipom has some decent moves like Double Team and Focus Punch! Why not use Aipom?" Dawn suggested.

"Yeah! That sounds like a great idea! Thanks, Dawn!" Ash thanked. Aipom made a happy sound that it'll be able to battle!

"Not to mention that your Iron Tail is pretty strong, Pikachu!" Ash complimented.

"Pika!" Pikachu agreed.

"So, I guess that means I'm choosing the three of you!" Ash exclaimed. Pikachu, Aipom, and Turtwig were overjoyed to be chosen for their first Gym battle!

Unfortunately, Staravia gasped with a chirp and sighed sadly, being left out. "Poor Staravia." Necro sighed.

"Staravia really do want to battle!" Brock chuckled.

"I'm sorry, Staravia. I promise that you'll battle the next time, okay?" Ash promised. Staravia only let out a sad chirp still.

"A promise is a promise! Don't worry!" Dawn called.

"And that's when Dawn's mom worries the most!" Ash laughed.

"What was that!?" Dawn snapped at the Kanto trainer.

"Calm down, you two. This isn't a good time for an arguement, Dawn." Brock replied. Dawn blushed lightly and sighed, turning around.

"One thing I learned from Paul's battle with the gym leader was that he had a speed kind of the secret strategy for his Pokémon! The speed was also pretty important for his victory, don't you think?" Necro explained.

"Well, maybe. But still, what should we do?" Ash asked. The answer came from Paul, who just smirked.

"That should be a no-brainer. You should just imitate Me," Paul answered. The group turned to see Paul, with Ash glaring angrily at him!

"There is no way I'm doing things in your way! I'm not going to do the same act that you did with Chimchar!" Ash snapped. Paul just snorted until a small boy came by!

"Wow! Thanks for the Azumarill, mister! We're going to train hard together, so see ya!" The boy said happily. Paul waved a little to the boy.

As the boy was gone, Ash grew even more furious.

"You gave away an Azumarill!? I thought it was your friend!" Ash snapped angrily.

"That Azumarill meant nothing to Me since it lost in the battle so easily." Paul explained.

"Did you even think about what we said to you the other day? The only way Pokémon can get strong can be when you train your Pokémon!" Dawn exclaimed, angered by Paul's words.

"That's your opinion. Also, that was the last straw I gave to Azumarill." Paul explained.

"We both don't get you at all!" Ash snapped.

"And here I thought that the both of you wanted to win so badly." Paul sneered.

"We all do... But, to use and do your methods, it just feels cruel." Necro explained sadly.

"And that's why we won't do things your way!" Ash snapped. Paul just snorted as he walked out of the Pokémon Center. Ash glared to where Paul was gone.

"That guy is never going to beat Me again!" Ash growled. Dawn grew concerned with this issue.

"What is it, Dawn?" Brock asked.

"It's just that, there are many kinds of trainers here. I just wonder what Chimchar and Elekid thinks about Paul themselves." Dawn answered.

(Time Skip To The Next Day)
(In Necro's POV)

"I hope that you've had some good night sleep with some good training last night, Necro!" Roark said as he saw Me, Dawn, Ash and Brock enter the gym.

"Yeah I did, Roark. That Coal Badge will be Mine to get, once this battle is over." I answered.

"We'll just see!" Roark sneered.

Okay I got this.. I choud do this right I do got a chance to win?

"The battle between Necro, the challenger, and Roark, the Gym Leader is about to begin! Each side will use 3 Pokémon. The battle will be over when one side's three Pokémon are unable to battle! Plus, the challenger will be the one to make substitutions!" Ian announced.

"Paul you just watch how a real battle goes, Paul. I'll prove to you that cruelty isn't the way to reach victory in Pokémon battles and in your Pokémon." I thought, staring at Paul, who just kept smirking at Me!

"So! Let the battle begin!" Ian called.

"Okay, Geodude! Let's go!" Roark called. The Rock Pokémon appeared from its Pokéball!

"So, you're pitting Geodude first like before. In that case... Luxio, it's time for a battle!" I called. The evolved Electric Type Pokémon appeared on the battlefield, prepared for an incoming battle!

Roark: Geodude + 2 VS Necro: Luxio + 2

"You may take the first move, Necro!" Roark called.

"Well with pleasure! Luxio, start this battle with a Spark!" I called and Luxio charged at Geodude with an Electric Type move!

"What's Necro doing!? she knows that Electric Type moves won't work against Geodude!" Ash exclaimed.

"Well, in that case, Geodude! Use Rollout!" Roark called. Geodude rolled towards Luxio!

"Heh. I thought you might do that." I sneered with a smirk on My face as he went right into My sweet little trap.

"What!?" Roark gasped.

Luxio dodged Rollout and stopped Spark! It leapt toward the air, startling him and his Geodude!

"Luxio, use Hidden Power!" I yelled. Orbs of light blasted into Geodude! It was sent skidding next to Roark!

"Very clever. Necro you used spark as a decoy to trick Geodude, then mead a counter attack in order to make a surprise for us!" Roark replied, smiling.

"There's more where that came from! Use Iron Tail, Luxio!" I yelled dead set on winning this battle. Luxio charged towards Geodude, this time with the new Steel Type move that Luxio learned last night!

"Necro's doing it now! Iron Tail should be a good move!" Dawn stated.

"That's right! Necro could let Luxio use Iron Tail, or make some changes to her plans, that is." Brock explained.

Paul was quiet as he stared hard at the battle. "Geodude, pay them back with your Hidden Power!" Roark yelled. Geodude sent its powers to Luxio!

"Go through them all with Spark!" I yelled. Luxio demolished all of the orbs with her spark!

It all vanished, evaporating to sparkles of light! Luxio then made its move, slamming the Rock Pokémon with the Steel Type move! "Oh wow! she passed right through that Hidden Power it was just like she did during the Jublife Contest performance!" Dawn squealed.

"Keep it up, Necro!" Ash called.

"Pika Pika!" Pikachu called.

Witch mead Me node My head as I focused on the battle. "Not bad with your skills, Necro, but this isn't over yet! Geodude, use Rollout once more!" Roark called.

"Stop it with an Iron Tail!" I shouted. WHAM!

Everyone except Paul gasped to actually see that Geodude's Rollout had been stopped by Luxio's move!

"No way! She and Luxio managed to stop Geodude's Rollout Attack!" Roark gasped.

"Now, use Bite, Luxio!" I shouted knowing by the look of Luxio that she couldn't take much more. The female Pokémon bit the Rock Type, and flew it toward the air!

"Geodude, use Focus Punch, now!" Roark called.

"I think not! Luxio, wrap this up with an Iron Tail!" I called. The two moves collided, creating an explosion!

Both Pokémon skidded to a stop, until Geodude grew knocked out! It fainted with swirls in its eyes! "Geodude is unable to battle! Luxio wins!" Ian announced.

Roark: 2 Pokémon

"Awesome work, Luxio!" I complimented My pokemon. Luxio let out a happy cry and had a small blush on its face! Roark returned Geodude, thanking it for the hard work it had from the battle.

"Now, Cranidos! it's your turn next!" Roark yelled. The strong Rock Type Pokémon appeared on the battlefield!

"This time, it's Cranidos... Luxio! take a break!" I called. Luxio grew startled with the call. She wanted to keep battling, but agreed and I returned her to the Pokéball, before making the next choice of who was up next Chimchar or Bulbasaur.

"Bulbasaur, it's time for battle!" I called out My next pokemon, and the grass type Pokémon appeared! "A Bulbasaur! That's an interesting choice and a very rare choice to go with!" Roark complimented.

The battle started with Bulbasaur attacking with tackle!

"Cranidos, use Flamethrower!" Roark ordered. The Rock type shot some hot fkames towards Bulbasaur, who barley dodged it in time by ducking!

"Then, use the Zen Headbutt!" Roark called.

"Now, Bulbasaur! Use Protect!" I shouted. hoping that Bulbasaur whoud make it in time witch he did and Roark's Cranidos launched right into the light green shield that quickly appeared around Bulbasaur witch resultet in his Cranidos being knocked back however only grunted in pain!

"Get up quick and use Focus Energy, Cranidos!" Roark called.

Cranidos glowed with light, preparing for jet another move!

"Now, use Zen Headbutt!" Roark called.

"Bulbasaur, intercept with Leech seed!" I called. Bulbasaur quickly shot a few seeds towards Crandios, and who got hit and the few seeds immediately took effect!

"Uh oh. That's a problem." Roark replied.

"What did that move do to Cranidos?" Dawn asked.

"Leech Seed is a move where the pokemon shots seeds towards!" Brock explained.

"That was really worth it!" Ash grinned, staring at Me and Bulbasaur!

"Snap out of it, Cranidos! Use Headbutt!" Roark called. Cranidos tried to focus on the attack but the leech seed kicked in and shok it making it unable to do much, it only took a few more seconds for Cranidos to use it.

"Ohh no Bulbasaur, counter with Razor Leaf" I yelled. The sharp leafs blasted Cranidos away!

"Whoa! Look at that power!" Ash gasped. Dawn and Brock also grew amazed with the improved Grass Type move! witch seems to have gotten a lot stronger since the last time that they saw it in use.

"Now, Bulbasaur! Finish this up with Vine Whip!" I yelled. Just as Bulbasaur was about to make a finishing blow but the status from Leech Seed wore off!

"Perfect timing! Now, Cranidos! use your Zen Headbutt!" Roark snapped. Cranidos smashed into Bulbasaur the force from it sent Bulbasaur up toward the air!

And right now I wish that Bulbasaur knew the move solerbeem.

"Gah! Bulbasaur!?" I gasped.

"What happened Bulbasaur almost had Cranidos until that Leech Seed wore off!" Dawn gasped.

"Come on, Necro! you have to do something!" Ash yelled out.

Ash's right, however the problem was that I was out of ideas but I guess that another leech seed can't really hurt.

I ordered another Leech Seed hoping that it whoud hit, however it was countered by a Flamethrower from Cranidos's own Attack!
Witch burned right though Bulbasaur's leech seed that he had shot and Bulbasaur with no time to even move at all got hit by the attack..

"Nooo Bulbasaur!" I shouted as My pokemon hit the ground with the flames around burning him.

"Hey Necro just give up now, you can't win just look at your pokemon it's so weak," I heard Paul shout from the sideline.

However as Bulbasaur also heard what Paul said about him, he became angry at what was said.
Bulbasaur began to get up though he struggled to get up!

"Bulba..." Bulbasaur groaned as it finally stood up!

"Now, Cranidos! Use Headbutt!" Roark shouted.

"Argh! No you don't! Bulbasaur, use Protect once more!" I called out.

Bulbasaur's Protect and Cranidos' Headbutt collided, creating an explosion! Everyone saw that Bulbasaur and even Cranidos were both wobbling to stay on balance!

"Cranidos, use Flamethrower once more!" Roark yelled.

"Bulbasaur, with your last strength, use Razor Leaf!" I yelled. Both Pokémon nodded as they fired off their attacks, which they both missed each other, but they hit their opponents instead! More explosions occurred! Both Cranidos and Bulbasaur were laying unconscious from the exhaustion that they had from battle!

"Both Pokémon are unable to battle! Neither of them is able to continue!" Ian announced.

"Wh, what Bulbasaur!" I yelled running over to My pokemon.

"It's... A draw!" Ash gasped.

"Wait then that meant that both Bulbasaur and Cranidos had the same equal power, right?" Dawn asked.

"Yea I guess so, determining on how the battle goes." Brock explained.

Roark: 1 Pokémon

Necro: 2 Pokémon

Both trainers returned their Pokémon back to their Pokéballs, with Me preparing for Roark's last Pokémon. "I'm impressed, Necro! Your skills for battling is quite decent! But... Let's see how well you go up against... Onix!" Roark yelled, sending out the Rock Snake Pokémon. Onix roared right at Me, waiting for its opponent.

"Okay then. Chimchar, it's time for a battle!" I called My starter out to battle...

"Chimchar!" Chimchar called, making a battle stance, facing Onix.

"Here goes! once Necro defeats Onix, then that means she's gonna get the Coal Badge!" Ash exclaimed.

"Onix, use Slam!" Roark called. Onix charged towardos Chimchar with its tail!

"Chimchar! Dodge, then use Flame Wheel!" I called. Chimchar swiftly spun out of the way and attacked with Flame Wheel! It bashed into Onix by the face!

"Onix, use Double Edge now!" Roark yelled.

Onix began to use its powerful move to smash into the Chimp Pokémon! "Chimchar! Spin!" I yelled. Chimchar spun around Onix and dodged the powerful move!

"No way! To make a dodge like that..." Roark gasped.

"Chimchar dodged Double Edge with no single problem!" Dawn gasped.

"Go, Necro!" Ash yelled.

"Pika Pika!" Pikachu cried out happily.

"Onix, use Screech!" Roark called. Onix let out a loud roar, blasting Chimchar away! The loud noise hurt Chimchar's ears!

"No! Chimchar, use Flame Wheel, now!" I called. Chimchar once again attacked with Flame Wheel, which burned Onix! Roark gasped as he ordered a Slam Attack! This time, it smashed Chimchar to a mound or rocks! Chimchar let out a scream as it was smashed into the ground. The rocks had almost buried the small Pokémon!

"No how..." I said softly, shocked of what had just happened to My starter Pokemon.

"Oh no... Chimchar!" Dawn gasped.

"That was a direct hit, because of Onix's Screech Attack." Brock explained.

"Well, Necro. This was a good battle, but... Your Chimchar will soon be out of play! Now, Onix! Use Double Edge!" Roark yelled. Onix charged at the hafe buried fire Chimp Pokémon, which suddenly exploded! That stopped the Double Edge move, with everyone gasping as to see what had just happened!

"Chimchar...?" I weakly called.

A new Pokémon appeared, defeating Onix with a move that was a glowing punch! Onix was knocked out of the battle, with swirls on its eyes! "What... Happened to Chimchar?" Dawn asked.

"That's not... Necro's Chimchar!" Ash gasped. The smoke cleared, revealing a Pokémon that looked like Chimchar, but had darker brown skin! It had a long flaming tail, and had blue-red markings on its face! The Pokémon let out a smirk and gave Me a thumbs-up! "...Monferno?" I mumbled.

Monferno screeched in happiness, winking at his best friend and trainer! I brought out My purple Pokédex, scanning Monferno. "Monferno, the Playful Pokémon and the evolved form of Chimchar. Monferno launches aerial attacks off of ceilings and walls, and its fiery tail is used as one of its weapons." Necro's Pokédex buzzed.

"Onix is unable to battle! Monferno is the winner! So, that means, the winner of this match goes to... Necro Platinum of Konoha city!" Ian announced.

Necro: Winner!

(End Of Necro's POV)

Ash, Dawn, and Brock all rosed up from the seats, relieve and amazed to Necro's win! "Well, it looks like that I have lost." Roark sighed.

"We... We did it, Monferno! We won!" Necro called. Monferno leapt to his trainer's arms and gave her a big, warming hug. Necro smiled while she hugged her partner Monferno back.

Roark then handed Me a shiny, Coal Badge for Necro's victory. "Congratulations, Necro! You've just earned the Coal Badge!" Roark exclaimed.

"Thanks, Roark!" Necro said, slowly taking the badge, showing it to her three Pokémon. "Everyone, thanks. Because of your well battling styles and efforts... We've won the Coal Badge!" Necro called.

Luxio, Bulbasaur and Monferno cheered happily for their first achievement!

"That's amazing, Necro! First, you've got the Jublife Ribbon, then you've got the Coal Badge!" Dawn exclaimed.

"Yeah... I guess luck comes to My very own way... Anyway... Ash! It's your turn for your Gym battle!" Necro exclaimed.

"Yeah! And I'm gonna win it!" Ash cried, making a fist for himself! Paul just snorted as he gave Necro a little smile before he walked off.
