Elijah waved back to the boy who waved at him and stepped into the gym. It was like nothing he had ever seen before. There was a huge battlefield at the end of the gym, covered in rocky terrain. Elijah then noticed all of the gym was rocky terrain except for the windows and a path to get to the gym in the first place. Elijah then noticed two Rhydon Statues. Engraved on it were the words,
"Pewter City Gym, Recent Victors: Daniel, Sorra" It looked cool and Elijah didn't know they did that at gyms but he thought it was peculiar of all Pokemon he chose a Rhydon. Elijah rushed to the battlefield, eager to start, when Elijah arrived, The Gym Leader was waiting.
"Hello Challenger, I am Brock, the rock type Gym Leader, are you here for a battle?" Brock asked in a confident tone.
"I am Elijah and I am here for a battle so let's begin," Elijah said while throwing his first pokemon out, Mankey appeared.
Brock smirked and sent out Geodude.
"Now Mankey use scratch,"
---
Geodude had fainted to Mankey's karate chop. Brock knew Geodude would likely lose due to a type disadvantage but Brock was confident in his next pokemon. He sent out Onix. Immediately, Elijah was overwhelmed. This pokemon wasn't the average small size, no, this pokemon was tall, much taller then Elijah. "No wonder why the roof is so high," Elijah said.
"Mankey, Karate Chop now!" Mankey Charged at Onix. He jumped and fainted to Onix's Rock Tomb. Elijah wasn't surprised, His Mankey was tired after battling Geodude. He returned Mankey and sent out Bulbasaur. Bulbasaur was excited to battle. He wasn't overwhelmed because he knew his grass type moves were very powerful against a rock and ground type.
"Bulbasaur, leech seed!" Bulbasaur used Leech Seed, wrapping powerful vines around the big pokemon, pulling it's head to the ground.
"Onix, get out of there with rock tomb!" Onix used rock tomb but The Vines that was draining Onix's health was too strong however it did hit Bulbasaur, inflicting massive damage. They would eventually break.
"Now Bulbasaur, vine whip!" Elijah said, excited to take down the rock serpent. Vinewhip didn't finish Onix and Onix got out of the leech seed and used rock blast on Bulbasaur. Bulbasaur dodged and slapped Onix along the face with vine whip, fainting Onix.
Brock and Elijah were shocked at the victory.
"Congratulations, here is proof of your victory at the Pewter City Gym, the Bolder Badge," Brock exclaimed. Elijah smiled with excitement which hadn't done for a while. He ran to the Pokemon Center to heal his Pokemon, excited to battle the Cerulean City Gym.
