Chapter 103: Marble Vs Gym Leader Gary


It was a beautiful evening over Viridian City, and the remaining sunlight brought beauty to the small Articuno that was flying overhead. Riding the Articuno was Marble, and he was prepared to battle for his 8th Pokemon Gym Badge, with plans to use them to start his own Pokemon Gym. “Haha! I am super confident I will beat Gary.” Marble said. “I have Four Gyarados, a Dragonair and a Legendary Pokemon!” 
“Articuno!” Articuno said, as it landed onto the grounds of the Viridian City Pokemon Gym.
“It looks to me like its recently been refurbished.” Marble said. “Anyway...” Marble entered the Pokemon Gym.
“Hello!?” Marble shouted. “I am here for a Pokemon Gym Battle!”
“Ah, a Challenger.” said a voice. From the shadows came a 10-Year Old Boy with Brown hair and some sort of snobbish, arrogant type voice. “My name is Gary. I am the Gym Leader here. Even though I’ve recently become a Gym Leader, I have a shit load of strong Pokemon. I got like 40 Fully Evolved Pokemon, for one thing. Just so you know, this Gym Battle will be no picnic.”
“Whatever. I’m certain I am going to beat you.” Marble said, taking out one of his Poke Balls.
“Then lets get started...” Gary said. “Go Exeggcutor!”
“Exeggcutor!” said Gary’s Exeggcutor.
“Hahaha. All this is so going to be a piece of cake.” Marble said. “Go Disaster!”
“Gyarados!” said Disaster.
“Exeggcutor, use Barrage!” Gary commanded.
“Exegg!” Exeggcutor said, as it fired random cannon balls from its heads, doing very little damage against Disaster.
“Hahaha. Disaster, use Fire Blast.” Marble commanded.
“Gyarados!” Gyarados said, and it blasted intense flames from its snout, causing massive damage to Exeggcutor and it fainted.
“What?” Gary said.
“Hahahaha! I am definitely pretty strong.” Marble said.
“Go Electrode.” Gary said.
“Electrode.” said the basic and boring Electric Pokemon.
“Hahaha, you use an Electric type hoping to take down my Gyarados? This is “Disaster” we are talking about, Disaster, use Earthquake!” Marble commanded.
“No!” Gary said with shock.
“Gyarados!” Gyarados said, slamming into the ground, causing an Earthquake, knocking Electrode out.
“Goddamn it!” Gary said. “That’s two one-hit KOs.”
“You believe me yet? I kick ass with this Power.” Marble said.
“I only have one Pokemon left to use, the Pokemon League requires me to use only three Pokemon... Go Umbreon!” Gary said, throwing his last Poke Ball.
“Umbreon!” said the Dark Type Eeveelution.
“Alright, here we go. Return Disaster!” Marble said, recalling his Gyarados. “Go Tempest!”

*SHWOOM*

“Gyarados!” said Tempest, Marble’s Red Gyarados.
“What!? Are you seriously kidding me?” said Gary. “There’s been a strange surge in Powerful Trainers these days!”
“Tempest! Use Bite!” Marble commanded.
“Gyara!” said Tempest, and it lunged to and bit at Umbreon, chomping it into its mouth.
“Umbreon!” said Umbreon, hanging and dangling from Tempest’s uvula.
“Hey wait a minute, Hyper Beam comes from the mouth!” Marble said. “Tempest, use Hyper Beam!” Marble commanded.
“Come on! I don’t think this is fair!” Gary complained.
“Gyara!” Tempest said, as it was charging itself with power, and then firing an intense beam from its mouth, directly singeing Umbreon with its power. Umbreon could not say a word, instead it fell onto the ground, completely burned to a crisp.

*THUD*

“Oh man!” Gary said.
“Hahaha! Yes! I won!” Marble said.
“So you did.” Gary said. “That means you get the Earth Badge.” Gary said, giving Marble the Earth Badge.
“Haha! Now I’m sure to be able to convince the Pokemon League to let me have a Gym!” Marble said. “Later!” Marble said, walking out of the gym.

Marble was outside the Pokemon Gym at Viridian City. “Ah, my great Articuno, where do you propose we adventure to now?” Marble asked to his Articuno, who was perched outside.
“Articuno! Articuno!” Articuno said, pointing with its wing to something a little in the distance.
“Huh? I wonder what that is.” Marble said, noticing the thing as well, he approached it. Marble approached what appeared to be a Pokemon, beaten by something, lying in the sun. “Oh! You poor thing!” Marble said to the Abra. “Who did this to you!” 
“Abra...” the Abra said.
“Take me to the Pokemon Center.” Marble’s Articuno said.
“What?” Marble said.
“Take it. I will tell you and only you what it says.” Articuno said.
“If you say so...” Marble said, and Marble picked up the Abra and carried it to the Pokemon Center...
