Dylan stood outside the Rustboro gym looked up at the building, he took a deep breath and nodded to himself. "This is it Riolu, we're gonna walk in their like rookies and walk out like champions." He said and looked toward the Fighting Type on his shoulder, he wanted this win really badly. "Ri-riolu!" His Pokemon replied with a nod, they were both read for this, they trained for a long time, and they practiced their techniques endlessly. There was no way they could lose this.
Dylan took another deep breath and walked into the gym, he was instantly his by wave of anxiety, but shook it off quickly. "No time to get nervous, we have to do this the first time." He thought to himself and looked around. "I'm here to battle the gym leader Roxanne!" He announced to whomever was in the room and then proceeded to the battlefield. "Let's rock, Riolu."
from the rocky depths of the gym roxanne steps forward. she's an honors student by heart, and eager to learn. with this ambition she climbed her way up to the gym leader position she has now. with a glint in her eyes she stares at her challenger.
"welcome to the gym. hope i learn something from this." she says with a glint in her eye before throwing a pokeball.
"you get the first move."

Dylan nodded and grinned "The only thing you'll be learning is the taste of defeat!" He replied to Roxanne, he was using fighting words to rile her up. Angry people don't think as hard about what they're doing or about to do, he was gonna try and use that to his advantage a bit, if it didn't work now oh well. "Alright me first let's go, Elekid!" Dylan shouted, slamming his Electric types Pokeball on the ground before him.
"Let's go! Use Low Kick!" Dylan commanded, the Eletric Type Pokemon would then quickly sprint towards the rock type who sat idly waiting for orders, it then slid against the ground towards it feet first in an attempt to kick it. "Once more!" Dylan ordered and his Electric type once again slid towards the Rock Type in attempt to kick it.

Roxanne couldn't help but blink a bit in surprise at the boy's first comment, he seemed to be pretty rude already. She didn't know what the purpose of the comment was, this was supposed to be a friendly battle. A chance for trainers to prove themselves!
As the Elekid was sent out she would blink in surprise yet again, a trainer had finally sent out a pokemon that she had the type advantage over for once. While normally that would be great news to any other trainer Roxanne was a bit cautious, she knew that he wouldn't purposely send it out without some plan. Which caused her to call out "Be careful Geodude!"
Roxanne was partially right, the trainer did seem to have a plan. Made evident by the Elekid charging in for some low kick attacks. The first kick managed to nail Geodude, sending him toppling over a couple times. Luckily for the Leader and her pokemon Low Kickd id more damage the heavier a pokemon was, and while Geodude wasn't super light, he also wasn't that heavy either.
Only managing to weigh about 40 pounds in total. As the Elekid came in for the second Low Kick Geodude would stare it right in the eyes while slamming his palms into the ground. Using his swole arms to push off the ground and send himself into the air a bit, causing the Low Kick to go directly under him.
Once Geodude hit the ground from his little jump the mostly circular pokemon would roll backwards on the ground, creating some distance between the two of them. "Nice work Geodude! You know what to do now, Rollout!" Roxanne commanded, Geodude responding by tucking up into a ball and rolling at the Elekid. Planning to go for two Rollout attacks in total!

Dylan was familiar with Geodude already, he already took down it's next evolution Graveler. In fact he used Elekid to take it out so it wouldn't be too difficult to take down Geodude. "Alright Elekid, same thing!" He commanded and then looked towards his Riolu, who had a look of worry. "Don't worry buddy we got this." He reassured the Pokemon and then turned back to the battle.
His Elekid knew to dodge the Rollout, it remembered how the Graveler got stronger each time. Elekid allowed itself to be hit by the first one, but completely dodged the second one. It then leaped up it the air and dive kicked the Geodude from above, then rolled onto the ground, spun around and went for another kick. "Good job Elekid, you can do it!"

The battle was starting to get a bit intense! Both pokemon pulling off some pretty impressive moves, full of cool feats and flips.
Luckily enough for Roxanne Geodude was a smart enough pokemon on its own, taking the first Low Kick head on again. Using the momentum from the Low Kick to help roll backwards, rolling out of the way of the second Kick. "Very impressive, both of you!" Roxanne called out, seriously impressed by the flair the pokemon were showing.
Geodude throwing his arms in the air at the trainer's praise. "I'll let you handle this round Geodude."
Having control of his own actions Geodude would smirk at the Elekid before charging forward for what looked like a tackle attack. Before jumping up at the Elekid, trying to wrap its arms around the Elekid's head...body..thing and slam it down into the ground. Almost like some sort of...wrestling move that comes out of nowhere. Planning for a second attempt if this one didn't work.

Dylan was happy how the battle was going, it all looked it it was gonna be in his favor. "Alrighty, Elekid let's try to finish it off this time around." Dylan said and his Elekid nodded, swining its arm rapidly charging up some power. He was going to allow some hits get land it was too tiring to keep dodging everything, but Dylan did not expect the strange tackling move. "What the heck?" He muttered, it didn't seem to hurt Elekid too much, but then the second one came in and he was on the ground hurting for a bit.
"Shake it off buddy." Dylan said as his Elekid slowly got up, rubbing its own face with its stubby hands. "Ellll." The Pokemon growled enraged by the strange move. He then charged towards the Geodude and slide kicked it again. Then it would roll up to the Pokemon again and punting it as hard as possible into the air. "Ellleeek!" The Electric Type growled again as the action connected.
Afterwards the Elekid would make its way back onto its side of the field waiting for the next order to come out of Dylan's mouth. "Well, let's see what she has up here sleeve now, you're doing great Elekid." He said, Elekid nodded and lowered its guard briefly.

The next set of low kicks were enough to do Geodude in. The second kick sending Geodude rolling back until he rested at Roxanne's feet. The Gym Leader returning Geodude right after that. "Great job Geodude! You too Elekid! Get ready this ones a doosey!" She called out before tossing out the next pokemon.
The next pokemon that appeared from her pokeball in a flash of bright light would be, none other then her Lileep! "Revived him right here in Rustboro!" Roxanne said with a quick nod of her head. "Go get it Lileep! Acid!" She added quickly. Lileep responding by flinging its head forward twice, sending a ball of acid at Elekid each time.

"A Lileep! What a rare Pokemon!" Dylan exclaimed dropping his "mean guy" attitude completely, he shuffled his PokeDex out his pocket quickly and flipped it open to scan the fossil Pokemon. "Amazing, well time to continue, let's go again Elekid!" Dylan added and his Elekid began running foward only to be sprinkled and sprayed with acid twice.
"Eeeeel. . ." The Pokemon said trying to shake the burning liquid off of him. It began whirling it's arms in a circle trying to fling all off it off him, all of it enraged him more and more. He then decided he might as well get it off during the battle. "Low Kick!" Dylan commanded from a far and Elekid slide down over to Lileep attempting to sweep it right off it's feet. "Again!" The Trainer called and Elekid would run up to the Lileep going for a drop kick.
"Hang in there a little bit more." Dylan said and looked over at his Riolu. "Doon't worry, we got this! We got this." He reassured the Pokemon again, who frowned at the Lileep and the acid it sprayed on Elekid. "Rrrr. . ."

Once Elekid came in again for a Low Kick Roxanne would call out "Quick jump to the side Lileep!" The Lileep confused at first but listened none the less, jumping off to the side, dodging the low kick attack. Roxanne figured Elekid was going in for another low kick, low kick being the only attack so far. However Elekid was faster then they thought, the second Low Kick making contact before Lileep could dodge. The impact sending Lileep toppling over, he was a bit heavier then Geodude but not enough to make a difference damage wise.
"Alright Lileep, use Ingrain and follow it up with Acid!" Roxanne instructed, Lileep following through with the commands and making roots grow from his bottom down through the gym floor. Ingrain healing Lileep at the end of every turn for the price of being rooted in place, unable to switch out. After that he flung his head foward again, firing another ball of acid at Elekid.

The shower of acid once again rained down upon Elekid hurting the Electric Type badly, barely hanging in there the Pokemon got up out of the acid puddle it laid down in and ran over to Lileep kicking it as hard as it could, the Pokemon then backed up once more and went for another drop Kick on Lileep. Dylan watched silently from afar this was all part of the plan in his eyes.
He looked at his Riolu again who was boiling with anger, he couldn't stand watching Elekid get burned over and over again by all the Acid. "Rrrrrrr. . ." The Pokemon growled and stood up on Dylan shoulder's. "Just wait a tiny, bit longer I'm sure Elekid has this all under control." Dylan said patting his Riolu softly.

Being rooted firmly in place Lileep wouldn't feel like dodging the Low kick, taking both attacks head on. They hurt him a bit more thenshe thought. But nonetheless he wouldn't fall over for any of the attacks, simply flinging backwards from the impact as fast as he could, the roots keeping him firmly in place.
"You're doing good, keep it up Lileep!" Roxanne called out before the Lileep wobbled around in response. Just wobbling for fun. Only to then fling his head forward mid wobble, sending two balls of acid at the elekid once again.

Elekid was quickly going to begin charging energy up again in hopes to get off at least one Electric type attack out before it fainted, but alas the Electric type was too late. The acids came pouring down on the Electric type Pokemon, and it flopped over onto its side unconscious into a puddle off acid where it would slay down severely burned.
Dylan quietly moved his hand to his side and plucked Elekid's Pokeball off his belt, and clicked the button enlarging it in his hand. He looked over to his Riolu with a nod and smiled. "Go get em buddy." and with that the Fighting type leaped off Dylan's shoulder high into the air, it then came down attempting to use Force Palm on Lileep, if it missed it would would quickly roll back onto it's feet and charge towards Lileep again using Force Palm again.
Dylan smiled at this, he knew it was all up road from here on his Riolu was a super strong fighting type now. "Looks like we're gonna wrap this up soon. Heheh."

"Great job Lileep!" Roxanne called out cheerfully after the Elekid went down from the last few sets of acid. Lileep cooing happily in response, proud of himself for that one. While he was rooted in the ground it thankfully didn't prevent Lileep from dodging or he might of been done in by the Riolu's sudden attacks. Lileep simple leaning as far over to one side as he could when the first force palm came, still getting nailed with the second one however and falling over from the impact.
Once Lileep rose back up he wouldn't even bother to wait for a command from Roxanne. Instantly flinging his head forward to shoot two more acid attacks at the Riolu this time, barely able to fight at this point. Regaining health from Ingrain after the attacks went off, even then not regaining enough health to make too much of a difference.

Riolu missed once, but he would not miss again. As the Acids came flying towards him he'd nimbly flip backwards dodging one, but he'd charge back towards Lileep too early, accidentally splashing into acid blob. Riolu would quickly shake it off fueled by the anger of his fallen ally Elekid. "Riooo!" The Emanation Pokemon howled loudly and then pounced foward again.
Riolu then slammed his tiny paw onto Lileep's head holding his arm with his other hand. "Rrrrr." The Pokemon growled and then sent a strong shock wave through the Pokemon's skull. "RRRRRR!" The Pokemon growled again even louder this time. He took his other paw and slammed it onto Lileep's head again, sending another strong shock wave through through the fossil Pokemon's skull again with both hands.
Dylan smirked at this. "Riolu is super strong, he's doing great for his first battle, let's try to wrap this all up with him." He muttered to himself pushing his glasses up his nose bridge. "Well, come on what's next Roxanne?"
