When he heard his friends encourage him he looked back to them and smiled gently, taking a deep breath and then turning to face the gym leader with a much more confident smile. He took a Poke ball off his belt and then held it out in front of himself, speaking quietly to it and saying. "Alright, you ready?" The device wobbled in an excited manner and Harrison smirked in response, holding out the Pokeball and then releasing his Snorunt. As the ice type was released onto the floor it would spread its arms and let out a small growl, trying to be intimidating however failing due to his small size and constant shivering. The gym leader let out a laugh and then held one of her own Poke balls, ready to throw it out. "Good luck trainer, I won't be going so easy this time. Spritzee lets go!"
The two Pokémon looked at each other from across the pitch, awaiting an order from their trainers to begin the battle and since Harrison was the challenger he called out first. "Alright, lets start this off with powder snow!" With a nod the snorunt leapt forwards and began pummelling the ground, sending snow flying towards Spritzee. "Blow it back with fairy wind!" Much to Harrison's and his Pokémon's surprise the snow would be blown straight back at them, Snorunt getting hit and tumbling backwards towards Harrison. "You okay Snorunt?!" The ice type was on its back and despite being stunned it rose to its feet again in a matter of seconds, shivering furiously and bouncing in frustration. "Sweet kiss while its recovering!" The fairy bird opened its wings and began to fly towards the Snorunt which disappeared in a flash of red. "Snorunt return" "Substituting already?" "I won't be able to beat Spritzee with Snorunt" Powder snow was the only attacking move it had and since Spritzee so easily countered it he had to use his other Pokémon.
"Chimchar you ready" The monkey on his shoulder nodded in excitement and then leapt onto the battlefield, a confident grin on his face as he sized up the bird. "Alright, use ember at Spritzee" Which is exactly what Chimchar did, breathing fire towards the Spritzee which was hovering in the air in wait. Harrison's command caused the gym leader to scoff and fold her arms as she called out. "Clearly you don't learn, use fairy wind and blow it back" Her Pokémon did just that, the fire spreading out in front of Spritzee and beginning to go back until a Chimchar leapt through the flames, surprising both the fairy type and the fairy type gym leader. "Hit it with a scratch Chimchar" Despite being slightly hurt from jumping through his own move the fire types fingers lit up and glowed white as he swiped at the fairy type, sending it crashing into the ground. "Finish it with Ember" "Dodge Spritzee!" Chimchar was still in the air and so looked down to use ember on the Spritzee who couldn't react in time and was consumed by the flames.
Harrison's Pokémon landed on the ground in front of the smoke which was beginning too clear. When it did clear it revealed a fainted Spritzee meaning Harrison had won the first round. "Alright! One down one to go, good work Chimchar!" With a happy grin the fire monkey turned around to face Harrison and give a thumbs up before returning his attention back to the gym leader that was returning her Pokémon. "Spritzee return"
