Jacob arrived in Violet City, and his first thought was to head to the gym. He knew he had to visit the pokemon school, and Sprout Tower while he was there, but he had not fought a gym in nearly a month now, and he wanted to get back to work. He ran to the pokemon center, picking up his newly captured Ledian before heading to the gym.
The actual building itself was unimpressive, Jacob thought. But once he entered, he was amazed. The ceiling was so high, apparently for the training of the flying type pokemon the gym specialized in. Any pokemon that could fly would have a strong advantage here. Of course, Ledian would still be at a type disadvantage.
The Gym Leader, Faulkner, stood with confidence as he and Jacob prepared for their battle. He watched as the flying-type gym leader released his first pokemon; a Pidgey. Jacob thought for a moment before calling out Ledian. The bug-type appeared in front of Jacob, turned back, and smiled.
“Alright, Ledian, let’s do this. Use silver wind!”
“Pidgey, use gust!” Ledian fired several blades of wind at Pidgey, but the pokemon sent a powerful gust of wing, stopping the attack. “Now use quick attack!”
“Ledian, use swift!” Ledian fired stars of energy at Pidgey, but the pokemon was too fast, dodging Ledian’s and slamming into the bug pokemon. Ledian was dragged across the ground, and let out a cry as it came to a stop. “Ledian,” Jacob shouted as his pokeon stood. “Use bug buzz!” Ledian released red sound waves from his head, enveloping Pidgey, who dropped to the ground in pain. “Great job Ledian, now use swift!” Ledian fired stars at Pidgey again, but the bird pokemon flew up in the air too quickly. “Ledian, follow Pidgey!” Ledian flew into the air after the bird pokemon.
“Pidgey, use quick attack!” Pidgey turned and fired itself forwards at Ledian.
“Ledian, stop!” Ledian stopped in his tracks as Pidgey came flying towards him. “Now use comet punch!” Ledian swung his arms at Pidgey as the bird pokemon approached, but the attack was too strong; Ledian was sent to the ground once more. Struggling to stand, Jacob gave another order. “Use Bug Buzz!” Again, Ledian released red waves that hit Pidgey, forcing the pokemon to land and cover its ears. “Now, use swift!” The attack hit Pidgey sending it to the ground, unconscious. “Great job!” Jacob said to Ledian, and Faulkner recalled his fallen pokemon.
“Let’s go, Pidgeotto!” The gym leader commanded as Pidgeotto appeared in front of him.
“Alright, Ledian, use bug buzz!” Ledian prepared once again to use the attack.
“Pidgeotto, us quick attack!” Pidgeotto was too fast, and slammed into Ledian before Ledian could release his attack.
“Ledian, use silver wind!”
“Pidgeotto, use air slash!” The two attacks collided, but Pidgeotto’s was more powerful, and destroyed the silver wind attack, blowing into Ledian and knocking him to the ground. “Now, Pidgeotto, use peck!” Pidgeotto’s beak glowed blue as the pokemon hit the fallen Ledian, sliding the pokemon across the floor unconscious. Jacob recalled Ledian, and thought about his next move.
“Come on out, Heliolisk!” Heliolisk appeared beside Jacob prepared for battle. “Alright, Heliolisk, use Parabolic Charge!” Heliolisk’s frills opened as the pokemon fired a ball of electricity into the air. The ball flew up towards Pidgeotto.
“Pidgeotto, dodge it!”Pidgeotto flew to the side easily dodging the attack. “You’ll have to use something faster than that to catch Pidgeotto,” Faulkner bragged. Jacob smiled. As the ball of electricity reached the ceiling, it released a charge of electricity that his the center of the field, then another and another until the whole field was covered with smoke from the electric attack. When the smoke cleared, Pidgeotto lay on the ground, unconscious. Jacob had won.
