Narrator: In our last episode, Isaiah and Corna spend a fun-filled and relaxing day at the Buggington City Spa. After regenerating and loosening their muscles, Isaiah and Corna learn to evolve Trafik! With another trading process done, Trafik evolved into a more robust and intelligent Psykone while keeping his meme-ish behavior. With Gary and Numerugon defeating the Bug-Type Gym, Isaiah makes his way into the gym, ready to take on the gym leader. Will he conquer this challenge? The Journey continues now!

I made my way to the Beetle-shaped gym, its panels shining in the sunny sky. 'Wasn't it raining earlier?' I thought to myself. I shrugged at the thought. I walked up, registered for the gym, and walked inside.

The gym had excellent green and white lighting with a wide surface. As I approached a large patch of tall grass, a Rotom screen appeared before me. 

"Hello, y'all!" it said in a cowgirl's voice. 

"Piss off, ghost!" I said, swinging my fist at it. The Rotom moved out of the way quickly, a frown emoji appearing on the screen.

"Jerk," it said in its normal voice. 

"Oh, sorry, I always do that," I said. Its frown emoji disappeared and turned back into a smiling Rotom face. 

"It's alright; I get that a lot. Anyways, welcome to the Bugginton City Gym! This will be a fun and focus-requiring challenge. Here are patches of grass. In the grass are certain Pokemon which will make a certain sound. Guess the sound correctly, and you'll pass. Guess it wrong, and you'll have to face it." It said. "

Awesome! Thanks!" I said. 

"Any time, trainer. Have fun!" It said, flying through the ceiling. 'How does the gym leader pay for all this?' I thought. I then looked forward as the Rotom screen appeared again above the grass. 

"Two Pokemon, two sounds, and one correct answer! Let's begin!" It chirped. 

"One is a Wortortle, and the other is a Tauros. Which one was the Wartortle?" The room screen asked. 

"HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM..." I said. "The second!" I answered confidentially. 

"WRONG! That was the Tauros. Now you must face it!" The Rotom chirped. It flew away as the grass cleared, and a Tauros stood there, its eyes full of rage. 

"Oh shite," I said. I let out Lucario, who just managed to grab the charging bull's horns. 

"Use metal claw!" I shouted. Lucario's claws glowed white as he threw Tauros down and uppercut it to the wall behind it. 

"Aura sphere now!" I shouted. Lucario charged his aura sphere and launched it at Tauros, knocking it out. 

"You may pass!" Rotom said. The wall disappeared, and a trainer stood behind it with a Beedrill beside him. 

"Son of a bitch-"
