“You are definitely a skilled gym leader, or at least, you will be.” Said Giovanni as he sent out his last pokemon, a Nidoqueen to fight Validus’s already heavily damaged Steelix. “Nidoqueen! Finish this. Earthquake, Now!”
“Scopulus!” Said Validus. “You can do it! Coil into a spring, jump into the air, and use Iron Tail!”
Steelix barely jumped into the air in time, avoiding the Earthquake, and then slamming into Nidoqueen with a powerful iron tail, making it fly into the wall of the gym. “Well, here’s your book. I should probably get going, since the townspeople probably heard that, but first, I will tell you this. Vision wants to control Kanto, and by getting rid of the new gym leaders, he can ensure that there will be no more gym leaders after the current ones, who will eventually die. Since he is in it for the long game, he will take over the Kanto region, which will have no more infrastructure.” Stated Giovanni. “Now, they are coming. I must go. Goodbye, Gym Leader.”
With that, Giovanni ran out through a secret door in the bookshelf, leading out of the gym’s back door. Validus ran after him, just before the townsfolk started searching the building. He arrived at the hotel, but, in an instinctual act of idiocy, he left. Jumping on his Flygon, Wyndham flew off to Fuschia, knowing that Mickey at least would be there soon to get his next badge. ‘I have to warn them,’ he thought, ‘They need to know what is coming.’
