CHAPTER 30 – A COMPLICATED BATTLE

*Note: two days until the patreon :)

Don't forget to leave me a comment and a 5 star review if you want :)

...

After positioning ourselves in our respective positions, the time has come, the time has come to show that it was not a coincidence that I won my first badge, no matter that I am at a disadvantage.

"The rules are simple, this will be a 3 vs 3 battle, each sister will be able to use a Pokémon against the challenger, but they will not be allowed to change Pokémon, while the challenger will be able to do so, the first one to weaken the three Pokémon of the opponent, wins the battle! Have you understood? – Damián said.

"Understood!" – I nodded.

It seems that he was telling me, because surely Misty's sisters already knew it perfectly.

"Then you can start!" – Damián said.

"Then, I'll start, Goldeen, I'll choose you!" – Violet said.

A Goldeen came out of the Pokéball ready to show his power to his opponent.

Water gives an incredible advantage to the three sisters' Pokémon, but I won't let myself be beaten just because they have a small advantage, it will be an overwhelming victory!

"Butterfree, I choose you!" – I exclaimed.

To begin with, in this gym I decided to use Butterfree, Bulbasaur and Pikachu, specifically in that order.

"Free!" – Butterfree said as she got out of her Pokéball.

Her beautiful pink color captivated everyone present, except Roxanne and Celeste because they already knew of her existence.

"For Arceus, a pink Butterfree, how cute!" – said Violet with little stars in her eyes.

"I love it, I'll trade you for my Seaking!" – Daisy exclaimed.

"No, you'd better trade me for my Dewgong!" – Lily exclaimed.

Iono was also surprised, she knew that the Shiny Butterfree had another color, but nevertheless, this Butterfree was completely pink, a color she never thought she would see in a Butterfree.

"Butterfree is my companion and my family, I would never trade her for any other Pokémon!" – I exclaimed.

To me, all my Pokémon are my family and I would never trade them.

"Free!" - exclaimed Butterfree cheerfully.

Until now, she had not had a family because her original family abandoned her because she had a different color, but now, when she heard that she was part of Ash's family, she felt that her body was filled with power, she was happy, very happy because she had finally found a family that loved her.

"That's unfair, I wanted a Butterfree with that color too!" – said Violet.

"I'm sorry" – I said.

"Anyway, let's get started, Goldeen, use Peck!" – Violet exclaimed.

Goldeen swam as fast as he could and jumped straight into Butterfree with the intention of hitting his attack on Butterfree.

"Too easy, Butterfree, dodge it and use Sleep Powder!" – I exclaimed.

Butterfree dodged the attack with great ease and a green powder came out of her wings that hit Goldeen, who, since he was in the air, could not dodge and fell asleep into the water.

"Goldeen, wake up!" – Violet exclaimed.

"We won't leave you, Butterfree use Psychic and get him out of the water!" – I exclaimed.

Butterfree's eyes glowed red, and the next moment, Goldeen surrounded herself with a pink glow and flew off, crashing into the nearest wall.

"Goldeen!" – Violet exclaimed.

But Goldeen could not answer because he had fallen weakened to the ground.

Everyone was astonished, had that Butterfree weakened Goldeen with one attack? That should be impossible!

I was surprised to see that Butterfree weakened Goldeen in one hit, I know perfectly well that the Twisted Spoon increases the power of Psychic-type attacks, but it is impossible that a newly evolved Butterfree could have weakened a Goldeen in a single attack, most likely that Goldeen was quite weak.

"Goldeen is weakened, Butterfree wins!" – Damián exclaimed.

"Haa... I should have opted for Shellder, it wasn't a good idea to use this newborn Goldeen against a Butterfree" – sighed Violet.

Everyone was shocked once again, don't use a newborn Pokémon in a gym battle without training it first!

"Ehem, whatever, it's my turn" – Lily said.

To divert attention from her silly sister, Lily decided to intervene.

"Butterfree, it's been a short battle and you've done great, but... ready for a second round?" – I asked.

Butterfree has not been injured and can continue fighting.

"Free!" – Butterfree nodded.

That battle had been too easy and she was still full of energy.

"I like your enthusiasm, but I'm not the same as my sister, my Pokémon is very strong, Seaking, I choose you!" – Lily exclaimed.

Really, a Seaking in a second gym? It's going to be tough.

"King!" - exclaimed Seaking.

This Seaking didn't seem to be weak at all, in fact, it radiated impressive strength and looked at Butterfree as if he wanted to crush her in one blow.

"Let's get started, Seaking, use Water Pulse!" – Lily exclaimed.

Seaking formed a sphere of water that headed towards Butterfree at an astonishing speed.

"Dodge it and use Psychic and get him out of the water like you did with Goldeen!" – I said.

Butterfree dodged the attack with incredible ease and launched her attack directly towards Seaking.

"Seaking, dive!" – Lily exclaimed.

Quickly, Seaking dived making it so that Butterfree could not hit him with Psychic.

"Tch, damn it" – I said.

"If your Pokémon can't see my Seaking, she won't be able to hit him!" – Lily exclaimed.

I didn't know about that weakness of Psychic, after all, this attack was not seen much in the anime, it was only seen a little more frequent in the last season, when Ash catched that Gengar.

"Then we'll do something else, Butterfree, use Psybeam all the time against the water!" – I said.

"Free!" - exclaimed Butterfree.

Then, several pink waves came out of her eyes and hit the water.

"What do you intend to do?" - asked Lily.

But she soon understood, because although Butterfree's attack never hit Seaking, what she did was curious, as she hit the water so many times, the water began to sway from side to side, destabilizing Seaking, who was in the depths, struggling to stabilize his swim.

However, the swell caused by Psybeam was so strong that it caused Seaking to pull out of the water.

"Now, Butterfree, use Psychic and finish him off!" – I said.

Seaking had flied off and was easy prey for Butterfree.

"Tch, it won't be easy for you, Seaking, use Water Pulse!" – Lily exclaimed.

Although Seaking was unable to defend himself and went flying due to Butterfree's Psychic, he managed to hit his attack on Butterfree causing her to fall into the water.

"Butterfree!" – I exclaimed.

Butterfree struggled to get out of the water, but her wet wings prevented her, so I sent her back to her Pokéball.

In the meantime, this gave Seaking enough time to be able to re-enter the water, although he suffered some damage from the Psychic, he could still continue fighting.

"You've done well, Butterfree, rest" – I said with a smile.

Then, I pulled out another Pokéball.

"Bulbasaur, I choose you!" – I exclaimed.

Bulbasaur came out of the Pokémon ready to fight and show her worth.

"Saur!" – Bulbasaur exclaimed.

Once again, everyone was surprised (except Celeste and Roxanne), A Shiny, Ash had actually been able to catch a Shiny, it was amazing!

"How envious, I want a Shiny too!" – Lily exclaimed in amazement.

They all thought the same.

"Don't linger, Bulbasaur, use Energy Ball!" – I exclaimed.

Another round of surprised people no, thank you, one is enough!

"It won't work, Seaking, dive into the water and then use Peck!" – Lily exclaimed.

Seaking dived into the water dodging the Energy Ball and then lunged towards Bulbasaur hitting poor Bulbasaur who could barely stay on the platform.

"Surrender, I have the upper hand, as long as Seaking is in the water, you won't be able to hit him!" – Lily exclaimed.

Technically she is right, but... I can't give up, everyone trusts me, Roxanne and Celeste are cheering me on and Iono watching, if I lose, I will disappoint everyone.

"Pikachu pi" – Pikachu said touching my leg.

I looked at Pikachu and she looked at me seriously and, surprisingly, I understood what she meant.

"Saur!" – Bulbasaur exclaimed.

Bulbasaur also noticed my nerves and tried to calm me down, it seems that he told me "trust me, I can win"

"Yes, we will make it, together!" – I nodded.

"Pika pi/ Saur!" – the two nodded.

And then, something incredible happened.
