We woke up the next day and trained a little more. Specifically, I personally trained Sage as he was gonna be useful in our next Gym Battle. Hades and Fronja were training Son Goku, as he would need training if he were to catch up to everyone by the third gym. The one I've been waiting for. I trained him up to Level 20, which took a while, and finally went to Cyllage City.
Immediately, I went to the Pokemon Center to let everyone have a little rest before the big battle. Waiting for them at a small table in the corner, a person rushes in, holding a fainted Vaporeon.
"Can you please heal my Vaporeon? Grant took it out with ease! And then used Draco Meteor on it!"
Wait one minute. I'm pretty sure that Grant didn't have Draco Meteor on his in-game team. Only on his anime team. So, some factors of the anime are in this life. Neat. They took his Vaporeon to the E.R. and did something to it, I wouldn't know. As soon as his Vaporeon was taken back, my pokemon were brought out. I took them and left.
I put my hood up because I didn't want to be possibly recognised by anyone who saw my battle with Viola or something. I walked into the gym and easily beat all of the trainers in there, along with beating the gym challenge. I finally got to the arena and a referee came out to, well, referee this match.
"This will be a-" the ref started to say, but I interrupted him.
"Hold on, ref. I wanna ask Grant something," I said.
"Oh, well okay," he responded.
"Grant. From what I understand, you brutally beat the previous challenger's Vaporeon. Even after defeating it, you used Draco Meteor on it. Why is that?" I asked.
"Oh, did I? Sorry, I must've gotten really into the spirit of battle and not realized that it was fainted!" he said.
"Sure. Anyways, ref. I assume you were going to say something about each of us only being allowed 2 pokemon and that only I can switch out, correct?" I asked.
"Yes, that's exactly right. Are the both of you ready?" the ref asked.
We nodded in unison.
"Then let the battle begin!"
------------------GYM BATTLE BEGIN------------------
Grant brought out his Amaura. I brought out Sage and the fight began.
"Use Aurora Beam!" he said.
"Counter with Vine Whip and then use Mach Punch," I said.
The beam and the vine hit each other, causing a slight explosion. Through the smoke, Sage ran forwards and used Mach Punch on the Amaura. With its 4x effectiveness, it did a hell-load of damage, almost knocking it out.
"Hit it again," I said.
Naturally, that Mach Punch knocked Amaura into the air, knocking it out.
"I see that you're very powerful. Powerful enough to take out my Amaura in only two hits. However, that will not happen again. Come on out, Tyrunt! Use Draco Meteor!" he said, bringing out his ace.
"Counter with Leaf Storm," I said.
The Tyrunt roared and immediately, meteors came from the open ceiling. Sage used Leaf Storm, but it was so powerful, that it became a Leaf Tornado. The tornado wrapped itself around all of the meteors. It then shot them at the Tyrunt as if it were a target and the meteors were bullets.
"Tyrunt! Dodge them!" Grant said.
But it was too late. The meteors shot at the Tyrunt at bullet speed. It was hit, multiple times, by its own meteors. It was nearly knocked out. But, of course, the Leaf Storm went at it and fully took it out, winning us the battle in only a few moves.
------------------GYM BATTLE END------------------
"My gosh! You beat me in so few hits! You're a special trainer, you know that? Here. Have the Cliff Badge, as proof that you've defeated me," Grant said.
"Heh, thanks. I'll see you later!" I said, leaving.
Sage was following me, since I hadn't put him back in his ball yet. We walked to Route 10, where we were stopped by a few people.
"Hey, you can't go through here!" a guy in full red clothing said.
"Would you look at that, some random gang member or something is in my way. Well, don't say I didn't warn you," I said.
"How dare you! Team Flare is not a gang! We are an evil-"
"Sage, use Mach Punch on him," I said.
Sage quickly rushed forwards and punched the guy in the stomach, knocking him out. Thankfully, no one was around to see, so I dragged him over to a bush and propped him up. I finally called back Sage and walked onwards.
