I get my Pokémon healed up at the center, then run to find Lillie and the others. As soon as we do, we start to leave to Shalour.

It takes us about a week, with quite a few setbacks. Grant wanted to check out a few climbing spots, so that took a while.

We finally get there, and I run to the gym. I get in to see Ash's Pokémon deliver a final blow to a Mega Lucario. Looks like this battle will be interesting.

"My turn." I call out once Ash has left.

The gym leader looked at me. "Okay! I'm Korrina!"

"Go! Mienfoo!"

"Go, Fletchling! Use peck!"

Fletchling dove in, and hit. It dealt a lot of damage, being super effective. "Drain punch!"

Mienfoo restored its health, and I frowned. "Use double team!"

"High jump kick!" Mienfoo hit the wrong one, and hit into a wall, hurting itself. The copies disappeared.

"Force palm, over and over again." Flethling was at very low health. "Peck!" Flethling reared its head back, and was surrounded by a blue light. It evolved into Fletchinder. It slammed its beak into Mienfoo, who fainted.

"Great job, Fletchinder. Get a good rest." I return my new ember Pokémon.

Korrina sends out Machoke, and I send out Eevee.

"Wow. This'll be easy, as fighting types are super effective against Normals." Korrina says. "Nah."

"Swift! Over and over!"

It doesn't do much damage, but the stars hold Machoke back so it can't do anything thing. "Headbutt!" Eevee head butts it, and Machoke fainted.

"Great job Eevee, return."

I send out Braixen, and she sends out Lucario. "Lucario, mega evolve!" Lucario mega evolves.

"Flamethrower." The super effective hit does a lot of damage. "Now, what we've been training for! Psybeam!" A beam of psychic power slams into Lucario, who faints."

Korrina' eyes widen. "I've never had an opponent have such an easy time." She exclaims. "That's just me." I smirk.

She gives me my Rumble badge.

"Yes! I got a Rumble badge!" "Braixen!" Braixen says.

"Let's go to the Pokémon center." I say, running out the door. We get to the center.

"Hello, are you Electro?" Nurse Joy asks. "Yes." "You have a call from Professor Jones." I grin and run to the video callers.

I click the answer button. "Hey Dad!" I say. "Hello Electro!" My dad says. "How have you been doing?" "Great." I say. "I just got my third gym badge."

"Great. I have two surprises. First." He said, clicking a button. A Pokéball appeared in the pokéball transport machine. "This is Alolan Raichu. She's a Pokémon I caught to give to you." I hold the pokéball. "Hey, Raichu." I say. "Also, your sisters are coming to Kalos! Rose will be with your Mom, but Belle is coming to come with you on your Pokémon journey!"
