On the Lavaridge gym, arena.

"Slugma is unable to battle,combusken wins."

"Thank you for your hard work slugma,it's your turn Torcoal" Flannery sent out her last pokemon.

"Come back and rest combusken" Evan took back combusken and took out a pokeball "then milotic, I choose you."

"Mmmm~" Milotic shouted excitedly, waving it's elegant tail.

"Let's begin!"

"Milotic water gun"

Flannery also ordered seriously " Torcoal flame thrower."

Torcoal spewed out a thick orange flames evaporating the water gun.

"Okay milotic use aqua tail"

"Torcoal hide in your shell" hiding inside it's shell it managed to survive but still torcoal was effected.

Flannery seized the opportunity "use sludge bomb" Torcoal spit out several balls ofhighly toxic sludge bomb and hit milotic.

"Oh no milotic" Evan said anxiously, he didn't expect Torcoal to use one of the poison-type moves.

"Mmmm~~" Milotic shakes her head saying she was fine.Fortunately she wasn't poisoned.

"Very good milotic, dragon tail" A green light emitted from the waving tail of milotic, but it was defended by torcoal's shell.

"That shell is annoying, it's getting exhausting", Evan frowned as he thought of countermeasures.

" Good opportunity, Torcoal use flame thrower " While Evan was thinking, Flannery launched a sneak attack "Milotic safeguard" Milotic glowed and created a shield around her, and then was wrapped in torcoal's flames.

"Now milotic end it with surf!" The situation reversed quickly and sent torcoal flying which was continuously rotating on the ground.

"Torcoal is unable to battle,Milotic wins and the winner of the match is Evan from Rustboro city." The referee announced the result of the match.

"You did well milotic come back and rest now" After speaking Evan took milotic back.

"You did well torcoal" Saying this Flannery also took back her torcoal.

Flannery walked towards Evan and handed the Heat Badge, "Evan thank you for fighting a great battle,this is Heat Badge that you earned!"

Evan took the badge "very good I got the Heat Badge" "Syl~sylveonn~"

After getting the Heat badge, Evan and Sylveon said goodbye to Flannery and left the Lavaridge gym.

Returning to pokemon center in Lavaridge town, Evan first gave his pokemon to nurse Joy for treatment.

Now Evan's next goal is to get his 2nd Ribbon

Evan plans to debut Milotic in the next gorgeous competition.

Afterwards while Evan's pokemon were receiving treatment, Evan thought of his next destination for his 5th gym battle and decided to go to Verdanturf town for his 2nd ribbon and then Petalburg city.

After planning Evan went back to receive his pokemon and set off to Verdanturf town.

After walking out of Lavaridge town Evan's stomach started growling.

Evan then released his pokemons,"Alright everyone let's prepare our dinner and camp here for tonight. "

"Veonn~" "Buskenn~" "Mmmm~" "Roarr"

"Oh hello little one, you wanna join us for dinner"

As Ralts can feel emotions through it's antena Ralts came towards Evan feeling no malice and Evan patted Ralts on it's head.

"Little one we are going to leave now" Said Evan to Ralts.

Hearing Evan's words Ralts showed a sad expression.

"Hmm~do you want to come with us? " Seeing the reluctant Ralts Evan decided ask of course who would leave such a great pokemon with champion potential, it just that it's was a male Ralts.

After hearing the words of Evan, Ralts didn't hesitate and nodded immediately.

Evan then threw a pokeball towards Ralts "Alright then Ralts welcome to our team, I caught a Ralts." "Syveonnn~"

After catching Ralts, Evan released Ralts and carried him with his arms.

"Now let's go to our next destination" "Veon~syl~"
