Chapter 6 A Heart Stone Cold/ Oreburgh Gym.
"Alright! Time to get my first badge!" yelled Andy.
He began running towards the door at top speed.
*Thud*
"What an entry, running into a locked door, hoping to win a badge with just a Magikarp." scoffed Specs. Joining him at the door.
"I have a Budew you know" muttered Andy as he tried picked himself up.
Specs quickly nudged him and he fell back to the ground. She skipped up to the door and knocked politley. A tall, frigenting looking man came out of the building. He took one look at Specs, gave a squeek of a scream, and ran back inside. The door closed and bolted shut again.
"Great, now your uglyness scared away the key Specs." said Andy with a grin.
"You're just lucky your cute, or there's no way I could hang with you"
Before Andy had time to retort, another man, even bulkier then the first came out.
"You here to battle for a badge?" He asked in a rather girly voice.
Andy snorted and noded.
"All 3 of you, show me your Pokemon.
Andy and Specs called out their Pokemon. Karmen was busy poring over his book. After several minutes of trying to get his attention, Andy pulled the pokeball off of his belt and called out his croagunk. The guard looked over the Pokemon for a while before he spoke next.
"All right you 2 can come on in," he said pointing at Specs and Karmen, "And you," point to Andy, get some real pokemon before coming back."
He then escorted, Specs and Karmen into the building. Specs shot him a quick, apoligetic, glance before heading inside. Andy stood there, mouth agape, for several minutes. Finally he kicked a small rock in frustration. He heard a yowl as it landed in a bush. Suddenly, a wild Shinx came out of the bushes.
"I'll show you a real Pokemon, He cried out as he sent out Magikarp. It flopped on Shinx's head a few times, then smacked it with its tail. Shinx fell to the ground cringing.
Now go Pokeball!
The pokeball hit the target and started shaking, one, twice..
Andy remebered in trainer school, that apokeball had to shake 3 times then ding to catch a Pokemon. He ran over to the pokeball and squeezed it as hard as he could. He could feel it trying to open. His hand was killing him from the strain. Suddenly, his Magikarp came and floped on it. The pokeball closed, shook once, then let out a faint "Ding".
As he picked up his pokeball, Specs and Karmen came out of the gym.
"Looky what we got mocked Specs, holding out 2 Oreburgh Badges."
Will our heros new Pokemon get him his gym badge?
