Slateport Gym- Part 1

Jason and Phoebe reached near the town gate in the evening at around 6, They both walked towards the pokemon center of the town and Jason remembered his first day when he got his Ralts back then.

"Thanks again for helping me there Jason." Said Phoebe who gave her pokemon for healing to Nurse Joy.

"No need to thank me phoebe, It is a trainer's duty to help anyone in trouble." Said Jason who handed his wounded Saviper to Nurse Joy for healing.

They both took key for rooms in pokemon center and went to their respective rooms to get some rest. Jason also planned to enroll for gym battle next day. After reaching in his room, first thing he did was to take a shower, after that he went straight to bed for taking rest, Lucario was also sitting near his bed with Absol.

Next Morning:

Jason after taking bath went downstairs and collected his Saviper and went to backyard for subduing newly caught pokemon. He called out that saviper who after coming out saw Lucario and remembered his fight with him, he was scared of Lucario, Jason walked towards that saviper and put his hand on his head, "Welcome to team Saviper, if you train harder along with other pokemons then you won't be fearing any opponent in future." Said Jason.

Saviper was looking at the human and he could feel powerful aura emitting from him, "If you think you can handle powerful training then you are welcome to my team." Jason Continued and put Saviper's pokeball near him, "If you want to join then get back to that ball or you can break it and leave this place."

Saviper clicked on button on that pokeball and returned to ball. 'Master, can we trust him ?' Said lucario.

"He was a wild pokemon and for survival he did that act but now he is member of our team and he will be a great one." Said Jason holding pokeball of Saviper.

Next thing Jason was going to do today was to take on Slateport City Gym, so he walked towards the gym and registered his battle for the same day in evening at 4:00. It was only 11:00 am and they still had 5 hours before battle so Jason planned to do some Task along with Absol and Saviper, just to train them a little.

At 3:30 pm:

Jason finished one task which was to take down a wild shiftry who was causing problem in forest nearby. Jason even captured that one as that pokemon was at Mid Elite Level so it was a good addition to team. It was badly hurt by duo pokemons so Jason handed it over to Nurse Joy for treatment.

At around 3:45 Jason reached near gym and waited for his turn as a trainer was battling the Gym Leader, Jason saw that trainer and he thought he had seen him somewhere, that kid had Turquoise hairs with similar eyes and he wore pure white suit, he was fighting along with a beautiful Milotic. Battle ended with defeat of the gym leader and Jason also walked towards the battlefield as it was almost 4 and his turn to battle gym leader.

"You fought really well Wallace, I think this is your 10th Badge and 2nd 2 Star, that means you are qualified for hoenn league." Said gym Leader to that boy.

'Wallace ? Yes he is gym leader of Sootopolis City and also he became a champion after Steven in Manga.' Thought Jason when he remembered about that boy.

"Thank you Mr. Briney, but I lost to Steven in this race." Said Wallace and then looked at Jason, "I think you have a new challenger." Wallace Continued.

'Steven also qualified for League, it will be great to battle him in league.' Thought Jason.

"Hello Challenger, can you give me 5 minutes and I will prepare for your challenge ?" Asked Gym leader who had brown hairs and brown beard with a Muscular Body, his name was Briney Hagi.

"Sure Sir." Said Jason and after that Briney left the place, leaving Wallace and Jason behind.

"Hello I am Wallace from Sootopolis City." Wallace introduced himself to Jason.

"Hello I am Jason from Gao village." Jason also introduced himself.

"Jason ? Are you that boy from Petelburg woods about whom Steven was telling me ?" Asked Wallace who was excited after hearing his name.

"Yes." Said Jason.

"You know we both were really shocked when we didn't saw your name on the top trainer list, Steven was thinking you must be at top." Said Wallace.

"I was struck in something so wasn't able to fulfill all criteria for ranking." Lied Jason.

"Yes, that must be the issue. By the way if you don't mind can I see your battle ? I am really excited to see you battling." Said Wallace and Jason nodded in agreement.

In meantime Mr. Briney returned and he asked, "If you are ready we can start battle."

"Yes sir I am ready." Said Jason and they both stood on their respective stands in gym.

"This is official gym battle between Challenger Jason from Gao Village and Gym Leader Briney from Slateport City. this will be a full length battle and whoever defeats all 6 pokemon of other will be declared winner." Said Referee.

"Lets start this battle then." Said Briney and sent out his first pokemon, it was final form of Corphish, it was Crawdaunt.

"I will start with this one." Said Jason and called out his Lucario.

"Start battle." Announced Referee.

"Lucario you may proceed on your own." Said Jason.

"Same you do Crawdaunt." Said Briney.

Battle started with bubble beam from Crawdaunt which was dodged by Lucario very easily, he used extremespeed to get behind Crawdaunt and used powerful Aura Sphere, that attack was from very close so crawdaunt wasn't able to dodge it but this one attack from a Peak elite was not able to finish a pokemon at Mid Elite. Crawdaunt used powerful bubble beam at lucario just after he got hit from Aura sphere and that attack sent Lucario flying back.

Before giving any more chance to Lucario, that Crawdaunt used powerful Water pulse towards him and lucario destroyed it in mid air using his aura sphere and then sent a powerful Aura Sphere towards that Crawdaunt who dodged it by jumping into the water. Lucario knew that Crawdaunt can attack from anywhere now so he closed his eyes and used his aura to feel Crawdaunt and Crawdaunt who thought he can hit Lucario from behind now, just came out of the water but got his by powerful Aura Sphere from Lucario and then Lucario dashed to the Crawdaunt who was thrown towards a wall after impact, Lucario used Force Palm to finish Crawdaunt but it was stopped by a crabhammer and in next instant Lucario was hit by another powerful Bubble beam.

This was getting frustrated and Lucario was getting mad over this, so he finally sent few shadow balls towards Crawdaunt and then dashed behind him using Extremespeed to use powerful aura sphere which was followed by powerful Dragon Claw and then a finishing move of Force Palm. These 3 consecutive attacks did there work and that pokemon fainted.

"Crawdaunt is unable to fight please switch your pokemon." Announced referee.

"That was really a good display of battle Jason, but lets see how you will handle my next pokemon." Said Briney and after recalling his Crawdaunt he threw a pokeball in the air.
