"Nope, I'm alright now! Better get going tho!" Levi said, running towards the exit of the breakfast room, and, as he went out it, he ran towards the exit of the actual PokéCenter, he walked out, looking around and taking a deep breath, running towards the end of the road, and, the end of the road was next to the GYM, and, occasionally, the ORIG.
"Well, I think I'm going with him!!! See ya!!!" Mark said, running after Levi, but he couldn't catch up to him so quickly, so, he arrived at the ORIG some minutes after Levi, and was stopped by the same officers, and Mark did the same thing that Levi did, walking in and going towards Levi, poking him slowly.
Levi ran towards the ORIG entrance, two officers were standing next to the entrance door, and they stopped Levi, asking for the ticket, and Levi gave them it, entering the ORIG, and there was a lot of chunks of earth around, there was also some earth in a bottle, and some water and those weird things. Levi tilted his head, but something caught his attention, some rocks with weird patterns, there were 2 green ones, a yellow one, a blue one and a black one.
"Well, I think I'm going with him!!! See ya!!!" Mark said, running after Levi, but he couldn't catch up to him so quickly, so, he arrived at the ORIG some minutes after Levi, and was stopped by the same officers, and Mark did the same thing that Levi did, walking in and going towards Levi, poking him slowly.
"Uhhh! Let me see what those stones are..." Levi said, walking next to them, they were on a table, which was covered by a glass structure, probably to prevent bandits from stealing it or something. Levi then looked down at a frame with a paper on it, and it said 'Evolutionary stones' "Evolutionary stones, uh, I see... I will tell Mark those things!" Levi said, getting poked by someone, and, when he looked back, he noticed that the person was Mark!
"Hi! I see you got here first then me! But we better get going because I heard that the GYM is closing soon! Brock accepts challenges in the night and in the morning!" Mark said, walking away, and he had questioned the officers if he could come back, and they said he could, but he needed to bring his Trainer Card so they could make sure he was actually him. Levi followed Mark, and, after three minutes of walk, Mark and Levi arrived at the GYM, and they walked in and noticed that there was a guy sat down on top of a rock, he had his eyes closed, he was really weird, Levi wasn't really confused since he had seen Brock's picture on the outdoor.
"Hello, adventurer! You wish to challenge me, the Pewter City GYM Leader?!" Brock said. He had a weird tone of voice, but Levi and Mark ignored it. Everything was common, but, he didn't open his eyes, and that's when Levi got confused, he tilted his head, and Mark did the same, both thought he'd open his eyes as soon as he started to talk. "Answer! I got other things to do!" Brock said, with the same weird tone of voice.
"Sorry... we want to challenge you! I will go first, and my friend is going right after me!" Levi said, smiling and walking towards Brock, Mark walked towards a staircase, going towards a place that had a perfect view of the battlefield. Levi placed his hand inside his pocket, pulling out a PokéBall, but, Brock suddenly clapped, and a rocky battlefield went towards Levi from the wall's inside, Levi was quick enough to run away from it, he then stood on his rectangle, looking at Brock, who jumped off the rock he was on, landing right on his rectangle, he then placed his right hand inside his left pocket, pulling out a PokéBall. "Right... Go, Charmander!!!" Levi exclaimed, throwing Charmander's PokéBall forwards, and as the Charmander came out, he dropped down, sleeping.
"Geodude, I choose you!!!" Brock exclaimed, throwing Geodude's PokéBall, as the Pokémon came out, Brock smirked, pointing forwards and ordering Geodude to use Mud Sport, and it did so. The Geodude slammed its body onto the ground, creating a dirt cloud that covered the whole battlefield and caused Charmander to get even weaker, and that obligated Levi to return Charmander to its PokéBall.
"Right, this is a 3v3 battle, right?" Levi said, looking at Brock, he was a bit confused since he didn't even tell him the rules, but he ignored that fact and just questioned Brock right away.
"This is a 2v2 battle, you're able to change your Pokémon only 3 times and, if you lose, you will have to wait for 1 day to have a rematch!" Brock said, staying still and waiting for Levi to change his Pokémon.
"MARK!!! GIVE ME THE PIKACHU!!! I NEED TO USE IT FOR SOME MINUTES!!!" Levi yelled, looking up at Mark, he wanted to Pikachu because he didn't know that Ground-type Pokémon were immune to Electric attacks, he just thought of Pikachu because she was kind of strong and she helped him a bit in the Viridian tournament.
"I didn't bring her!!!" Mark yelled, he was surprised by Levi's question, he didn't really plan to battle in that day, and that question just made him think if Levi was really ready to battle Brock or even take a tournament challenge like before, Mark knew that electric moves were ineffective when they were aimed at Ground-type Pokémon.
"Okay... I guess I will have to finish this with Caterpie!" Levi yelled, pulling out Caterpie's PokéBall and throwing it forwards, as the Caterpie came out, she looked around, noticing that Geodude was right in front of her, ready to attack her. Levi had a strategy, and he tried it. "CATERPIE, USE STRING SHOT!!!" Levi yelled, and the Caterpie's mouth started to vibrate creating a silky and sticky string that was thrown at Geodude, wrapping it, and the Caterpie did it over and over until the Geodude was completely wrapped by it and unable to move.
"GEODUDE, GET RID OF THE STRING AND USE MEGA PUNCH!!!" Brock yelled, and the Geodude tried, it tried its best, but it could only rip some of the strings that were around it, it then fell down, but it hasn't fainted, it was just unable to keep hovering around.
"CATERPIE, NOW USE TACKLE! USE IT OVER AND OVER UNTIL THE GEODUDE FAINTS!!!" Levi yelled, and the Caterpie threw herself at the Geodude, causing it to roll around, and, after some boring minutes of tackles and more tackles, the Geodude finally fainted, Levi sighed, and smiled, running towards Caterpie and picking it up, kissing its head, the Caterpie growled in reply, and Levi then placed the Caterpie back on the ground.
"Grrr, Geodude, come back! Onix I choose you!!!" Brock exclaimed, returning the Geodude to its PokéBall and throwing Onix's PokéBall forwards, and, as the Onix came out, Brock grinned, pointing forwards. "ONIX, USE SLAM!" He yelled, and the Onix roared, slamming its tail on the Caterpie's side, causing her to fly away and hitting a wall, falling down. The Caterpie fainted, and Levi gasped, running towards Caterpie and holding her up and kissing her.
"Right... Charmander, I choose you!!!" Levi yelled, placing his hand inside his pocket, pulling out Charmander's PokéBall and throwing it forwards, and, as the Charmander came out again, it looked up at Onix, who roared again, getting freaked out and hiding behind a rock, and, in a desperate way to get rid of the Onix, the Charmander got on a rock, jumping towards Onix and using Flamethrower on its head, the Onix got hit, shaking its head and screaming its name, Charmander then looked up at the Onix, getting angry and using Flamethrower again, and the Onix got hit again, but, this time it was stronger, and the Onix trembled a bit, but Brock then ordered Onix to use Slam, and that's what the Onix did, the Charmander got hit by Onix's tail, getting sent to the side and hitting a rock, getting weaker and nearly unable to battle.
"ONIX, END THIS WITH ANOTHER SLAM!!!" Brock yelled, and the Onix did so, and, as Onix's tail went towards Charmander, Levi gasped, and he watched the scene, but he then thought of what Charmander could do, and he smiled.
"CHARMANDER, USE METAL CLAW TO REPEL THE TAIL AND THEN USE METAL CLAW AGAIN!!!" Levi yelled. The Charmander got up before the tail hit him, and he used Metal Claw on the tail, causing the Onix to roar in pain, and then the Charmander jumped towards the Onix, using Metal Claw once again, but now right on its middle rock, the Onix screamed and fell down, almost fainted. The Charmander then, tired, fell to the ground, but he heard the Onix trying to get up, the sounds of the crawling rocks caused Charmander to get fueled, and he got up, using Flamethrower, causing the Onix to faint, after it fainted completely, Charmander fell down and started to sleep.
"GHH!!!??? ONIX?! YOU'VE FAINTED?!" Brock yelled, gasping and walking back, he then returned Onix to its PokéBall, smiling. "You did good, little boy, ah, I forgot to ask your name, I might write it on my list," Brock said, laughing, he then pulled out a list out of his shirt, and a pen out of his pants' pocket, ready to write down Levi's name.
"My name is Euclides Levi! I'm from Ecruteak City!" Levi said, smiling cheerfully, he wanted to look mature, but he then started to scream and jump around, celebrating his first GYM victory. "I WON!!! HAHAHAHAAHAHAHHA!!! IM THE BEST!" Levi yelled, doing a weird dance.
"LEVI, YOU DID GOOD!!!" Mark yelled, running downstairs and then running towards Levi, dancing with him. As both started to dance, Brock smiled, turning his head down and writing Levi's name, he then laughed at the duo's attitude. "You two are really... how can I say? Really close, right?" Brock said.
"Yup! Mark is my best friend! Ah, and this blonde boy beside me is Mark!" Levi said, laughing a bit, Mark then went in the battlefield, picking Charmander up and placing it out of it, the battlefield then returned to the wall's inside, and Mark scratched the back of his head, raising an eyebrow.
"I have a question... what if I don't have 2 Pokémon?" Mark said, looking at Brock, who raised his eyebrows and crouched down, moving his head towards Mark and laughing.
"Well, then you will have to catch one! You can't challenge me if you don't have at least 2 Pokémon!" Brock stated, laughing. "Ah, and take this," Brock said, throwing a small rock-shaped badge towards Levi, Levi caught the badge, looking down at it. "That's the boulder badge! It is the proof that you've beaten me! Now, goodbye, have a great day!" Brock said, giving Levi a thumbs up. Levi then picked up a badge case, placing the badge on its socket and giving Brock a thumbs up as well.
"I see... Thank you tho!" Mark said, waving his hand as a sign of goodbye.
"Goodbye, Brock! I hope you have a great day!" Levi said, walking towards the exit/entrance of the GYM, walking out of it. Levi also waved, returning Charmander to its PokéBall, Mark then followed Levi. Levi was clearly happy as heck, he then slapped Mark's back and gave him a smile, and both suddenly dashed off, they went towards the PokéCenter. Some minutes after the sudden dash, they arrived at PokéCenter, noticing that Angle and Isaiah were out there, Levi smiled and showed them the badge that he had just achieved. "I've beaten Brock! He is a cool person!" Levi said, smiling.
"Mhm! We will be going to the ORIG after healing our Pokémon, ok?" Mark said, looking up at Isaiah and Angle, he had a smile on his face, he was really happy since his friend had just won.
