RE: My Pokemon Fanfic (Chaper 7 is Up)
(Continued from the last chapter, but only the beginning.)
Chapter 8
__ “Chimchar, get up! Use Flame Wheel!” Chimchar spun towards Gible and hit it. Chimchar stood above the damaged Gible, and evolved. “Oh my gosh, a Monferno!” Jake cried cheering.
__ “Oh no!” Dylan cried worried. Gible braced itself.
__ “Monferno, use Mach Punch!”

__ In a helicopter high above Jake, Dylan and Chris, George and Lindsay watch the battle. “That looks like a strong Monferno,” George said, petting his Shinx.
__ “I suppose, if we grab it we can train it and evolve it into an Infernape!” Lindsay said laughing, “I’ll lower the helicopter and you get the net.” George nodded and ran off.

__ Dylan and Jake’s battle was at peek pressure, Gible was nearly defeated. “Monferno, use Flame Wheel!” Monferno hit Gible, and beat it.
__ “Return Gible,” Dylan paused before choosing, “Go Piplup!” Piplup came out and immediately realized it was weaker than Monferno! Piplup didn’t want to fight, because it knew Dylan thought it was weak. “Piplup, use Bubble!” Piplup just stood there. “Piplup! Hurry!” Jake took this too his advantage.
__ “Monferno, use Mach Punch!” Monferno charged its powerful fist and smacked Piplup down.
__ “Piplup! Why aren’t you doing anything?” Then it hit him. Dylan knew that Piplup was stuck up by nature, and must be jealous of not being in the Gym Battle! “Piplup! I realize what I have done to you and I’m sorry. No prove me wrong and beat Monferno! Use Peck!” Piplup pecked Monferno until it was nearly begging for mercy.
__ “Oh no, Monferno, use Flame Wheel!”
__ Dylan had a perfect idea. “Piplup, use Water Sport!” Monferno hit Piplup, but barely any damage was done. “Now use Bubble!” Monferno was hit and fell. “We did it!” I told you we could, Piplup.”
__ “Return Monferno,” Jake said with anger and regret, “Dylan! I still have two Pokemon and you have one that isn’t tired! Go, Drifloon!” Even Chris could tell that Drifloon was not used in many battles, and definitely not the gym battle. “Use Gust!” Drifloon summoned a surprisingly strong wind that blew Piplup off its feet, and into a tree! “Now use Gust again!” This one wasn’t as strong but blew Piplup again.
__ “Piplup, use Bubble.” Piplup’s Bubble had a strong effect on Drifloon. “Now use Peck!” Piplup hit Drifloon and it looked like it was going to pass out. Drifloon didn’t faint, Piplup did! The many attacks it took had added together. “Piplup, no! Return. I choose you, Snorunt!” Snorunt clearly had an advantage. “Use Bite!” Drifloon flinched and fell to the ground. It wasn’t defeated but it was close. “Now use Icy Wind! Finish this!” Drifloon was knocked out before the attack hit.
__ “Return, Drifloon. I will have to work a lot harder with you. Go Croagunk!” Croagunk was the former powerhouse of Jake’s team, but could beat up any of Dylan’s Pokemon, but Dylan didn’t know.

__ Lindsay landed the plane and George snuck out. Lindsay quickly caught up. “Darn it,” Lindsay whispered as they watched Jake send out Croagunk, “We missed the Monferno!”
__ “Its okay,” George reassured, “That Croagunk looks strong. I have the net”
__ “Okay, hold on, they are battling, let Croagunk get weaker.”
__________________________________________________________________ *
__ “Croagunk, use Rock Smash!” Snorunt was weak to Fighting type attacks, and Croagunk was no exception. If Croagunk had half the power of Monferno, Dylan was beyond doomed. “Now use Poison Jab! See Dylan, this is what you can do with a TM or two!” Snorunt was one attack away from being defeated. Dylan couldn’t do anything, he knew that Snorunt was beaten, what was there he could do? Nothing. “Croagunk, finish-“
__ “Stop,” Dylan said, “I know I can’t win. You win, I can’t let Snorunt get hurt anymore.”
__ Lindsay and George jumped out of the bush. “Pichu, Shinx, use Thunder Shock!” George called. Dylan, Jake, Chris, and all the Pokemon were shocked. Even Lindsay was shocked! The net caught on fire from the shock and she dropped it screaming.
__ “Let’s split!” she cried. She ran away.
__ “I’ll get the Pokemon,” George called, returning all his Pokemon and the Pichus.
__ Everyone recovered fairly quickly, the Shinx and Pichu are weak. They said their good-byes and went on to other places. There were two ways to get to the next Gym; Jake was taking the north-west way, while Dylan and Chris went west.
