The time had finally come for Sam's first Gym battle! He had to do a bit of back tracking to come back after exploring that cave to get to the gym. For some reason he thought the first gym here to challenge was the gym in Rustboro.
Oh well at least he made it here right? He was actually shaking a bit as he made his way into the gym, his Noibat Egg nestled safely into his backpack. Sam actually wasn't nervous at all, not even the slightest bit. He was shaking out of excitement instead, excitement to finally actually start his goal, excitement to take down a gym leader.
Yep, not excitement that he might be able to defeat the gym leader, he was excited that he would. Sam already had it set firmly in his mind that this gym leader was going down. Hell he was already formulating some type of battle plan.
That plan just being to save his Deino for the gym leader's final pokemon, after all the final one should be the strongest. Why give away your biggest weapon at the beginning and give them time to prepare for it.
After making it inside the actual gym Sam would look around, shifting around a bit in his spot before calling out. "Hello? I'm here to challenge the gym leader!"
norman walks out into the gym. someone has entered. he's excited to see the prospective trainers earn their first badges. they are always either cocky, scared to death, or somewhere in between. sometimes both.
he grins at the person across the stage. "alright, welcome challenger." he throws out a pokeball. sentret rises from it's place, ready for a battle.
Sam couldn't help but smirk as the gym leader came out and sent out his first pokemon. A sentret really? Guess that means this place was a normal type gym, definitely seemed like a pushover so far.
Still trying to be a bit polite Sam would call out "Thanks." in regards to the welcome, before going for a pokeball on his belt. He figured it was time to give a new pokemon a chance to shine as he grabbed the ball and threw it, his Cubone appearing in a flash of light. The Cubone appearing in a sitting position on the floor, bone in hand and locked in a bit of meditation.
Which would end right away once she realized she was out of her pokeball, the Cubone standing up and glancing across the gym at the Senret. "You ready Femur? Lets start with some Bone Clubs!"
Sam called out, the Cubone responding with a nod before charging forward at the Sentret, bone in hand. Once near the Senret Cubone would simply swing the bone at the normal type pokemon, following it up with a second swing immediately after the first.
sentret leaps over the first swing, but the second swing takes her back several lengths of the gym. it's pretty painful. she cringes in pain, but picks herself and rushes at the cubone with a quick attack.
Cubone would screw her face up underneath her skull helmet as the first bone club missed, at least the second one hit. While that was good enough for Sam it wasn't good enough for the Cubone.
She hated messing up and this stupid little furry thing was making her mess up. Once the Sentret made contact with the Cubone the ground type pokemon would be sent backwards a bit, tumbling over once before standing up.
"Don't worry you still got this Femur...Go in for some more Bone Club attacks!" Sam called out as the orders for this time. This time Cubone would slowly walk up to the Sentret, gently patting it on the head with her free hand. Before going right in for a bone club attack, planning to follow it up with a second bone club afterwards.
sentret looks at the cubone in confusion before the club smashes into her. she barely leaps out of the way of the second one. norman can tell that she's on her last leg. sentret curls around in a ball, strengthening herself mentally before rushing forward at the cubone again in a last ditch attempt.
Sam would blink a bit in confusion at what the Cubone was doing. Also kind of confused by what the Cubone was doing, only for the confusion to disappear as soon as Cubone smashed into the Sentret with a bone club.
The boy would let out a chuckle as the Sentret tolled up into a ball to raise her defense. Not that it mattered too much, Femur still knew Growl and Tail Whip, meaning she could just lower attack and defense anytime that she wished too.
"Get readyy Femur.." Sam said as he watched the Sentret right before it started to come at Cubone with quick attack, the Cubone barely being bale to move at the last moment. The Senret going right on past her.
"Alright lets end this one Femur! Lower its defense then hit it again." Sam said with a smirk, the Cubone nodding and following orders as she used Tail Whip on the Sentret. Lowering the pokemon's attack before charging back in for another Bone Club attack.
sentret is easily taken down by the cubone. alright then. he returns the pokemon into its pokemon and takes out another. with a throw of his hand norman sends out a litleo.
"alright, ember!" he says. the pokemon has a disadvantage but he would at least try to defeat it.
litleo♀ - level 010 - keen eye moveset: tackle, leer, ember work up, headbutt
cubone gains 2 levels! norman sends out litleo! litleo uses ember !
Level up! After the Sentret went down Cubone would only get stronger, a smirk growing along the ground type's face as she felt the surge of power. Only to start to swing her bone around as the litleo appeared, Femur had this one in the bag.
Not only did she have a type advantage over Litleo she also had a level advantage as now, thank you sentret! Knowing that as well Sam would cross his arms slightly amused by what was going on. "A Litleo huh...thats not much of a threat either huh Femur?"
Sam asked with a slight tilt of his head, watching the Litleo. Only to see the little fire lion cub spit out an Ember attack at Cubone, Cubone jumping out of the way and spinning her bone around some more.
"Great job Femur! Same as the way we started of the battle with Sentret, Bone Clubs!" The boy called out, causing the Cubone to charge forward at Litleo. Going for two more Bone Club attacks.
femur (cubone)♀ - level 011 - rock head moveset: growl, tail whip, bone club, headbutt used bone club x2 super effective against litleo dodged ember (2/2) a bit hurt
the attacks aare super effective. litleo goes down without a fight. normal returns it, taking out another pokeball and throwing it across the room.
"go slakoth!" he says. he's a little bit more leveled than the other two, so it should be harder to take down. after a small yawn slakoth disappears and with surprising speed, swings its arms at the pokemon.
Sam couldn't help but let a chuckle escape his lips as the Litleo went down without even putting up a fight. Either Sam was a lot better then he thought he was, or he just got lucky...or this gym leader could be a push over. That was always an option in the matter.
None the less Cubone would start to spin her club around again as the Litleo went down, getting even stronger from smacking down the little fire cub. Sam would blink a bit as Norman sent out his next pokemon, having no idea what it was. "Scope this one out first Femur, get ready." The boy said, causing the Cubone to tense up and wait for the Slakoth's attacks.
The yawn attack surprising Cubone actually, causing her to let out a big yawn , getting kind of sleepy. Only to get smacked back a few feet by the Feint Attack. Rolling along the ground until coming to a stop and struggling up to her feet.
"Seems like its pretty strong...Alright Femur go for more Bone Clubs." With that command Cubone would charge forward at the Slakoth, going for not one but two Bone Club attacks.
femur (cubone)♀ - level 013 - rock head moveset: growl, tail whip, bone club, headbutt, leer used bone club x2 decently hurt falling asleep after next turn
cubone swings its club at slakoth. the pokemon manages to dodge one but another sends it flying across the room. that's when slakoth's effect takes place. it becomes truant, refusing to attack through even the biggest of demands. norman is forced to watch while the pokemon lazes around, laying unmoving on the field.
Sam would blink a bit after the second bone club and the Slakoth ended up lounging around in the middle of the room. "...is it dead.." The boy muttered while leaning forward a bit trying to get a better look at it. After all this was his first encounter with a Slakoth, he had no idea what Traunt was. "I mean...well its still breathing...that things weird" Sam kind of rambled out to himself and to his cubone, no longer leaning forward.
"Gym leader hasn't said anything so it must be normal..Alright go in for some more attacks then Cubone. Before you fall asleep." Femur nodded her head in response to that before charging at the slacking off Slakoth, going for two Headbutt attacks this time. Falling asleep as soon as the moves were done.
femur (cubone)♀ - level 013 - rock head moveset: growl, tail whip, bone club, headbutt, leer used headbutt x2 (30% chance of flinch each) decently hurt is asleep after attacks
the headbutts leave slakoth fainted. norman returns it. another battle done. he walks up to the trainer. "good job." he says, unfurling his hands to reveal the balance badge, shining on his palm.
