13 Pewter Gym Battle Part 2 (1/2)

After reaching the gym he was led to a spacious hall. There was a pokemon battlefield in the center with many rocks and stones on it. on the other side was a middle-aged guy around same age as his father. He was the current Pewter city gym leader, Flint. Yes the father of Brock Flint. Currently the gym is still headed by him.

After entering he saw that they just had a Pokemon battle with another youth. He was around the same age as him and had red hair and handsome face. He seemed like he has seen him somewhere.

As he was thinking such, Flint,” You have defeated me and hence you are worthy of Boulder badge. Here you go , Lance”

The newly identified , Lance said,” thank you and then to his Dratini said, ” Look Dratini we got our first gym badge.”

Hearing his name and Dratini beside him as well as seemingly familiar face he understood where he saw him. He was the future champion of Johto and Kanto, Dragon Champion Lance.

After seeing Alex Flint said,” Ah you are the next one. Alex right.”

”How do you know my name. ” He tilted his head in confusion.

Laughing Flint replied,” Marcus bragged a lot about you. So I was curious about you and then I saw your name on the list of Challenger so I was excited. Hahahahahaha”

Hearing this he smiled meekly, while Lance there was staring at him intently. He then suddenly asked,” Do you mind that I watched the match”

Shrugging Flint said lazily,” I don't mind, ask the challenger.”

” i too don't mind ”

while thinking' It is a great ego booster having a champion curious about you. even though he is still not a champion'

Then another young man who was also around his age said,” Please all the spectator leave the field while only Challenger and leader remain.” looking at him curiously Flintsaid,” He is my eldest son , Brock.”

” Hello”

while Brock nodded his head in greeting.

Lance went to the spectator stand at the back watching the match curiously for how good of a trainer he was that a gym leader complimented him to another gym leader.

” This is a three on three official Pokemon gym battle between Challenger Alex Bart of Floral town and Gym leader Flint for the Boulder badge. Let's the battle begin”

” Go Geodude”

” Go Pidgeotto”

' Huh flying against rock is foolish but that maniac Marcus complimented him so he must have an underhand'

Both Brock and Lance we're stunned by his choice but opted to continue watching.

Pidgeotto started by featherdance and harrasing Geodude with sand attack and annoying it. Geodude retaliation was in the form of Rock attack. But he dodged it then ” Geodude rollout”

Geodude rolled in the form of ball and rolled over to Pidgeotto and nailed a couple solid hits then ” Stop him ”

Pidgeotto using it's sharp eyes caught Geodude arms with it's claws and then raised it to the air. ” Slam it to the ground”

then Geodude fell then was wobbly at the point.” End it with Aerial ace”

At the next moment Pidgeotto atblinking speed hit Geodude sailing it to the Rock and get embedded on rock Boulder in the field. AND GEODUDE FAINTED.
