Mitch's Johto Journey

The Goldenrod City Gym Battle

               " There's no way this is the gym," Mitch says as he and Quilava stand in front of a building that looks like it just has one giant playground inside of it. " La, Lava," Quilava shouts as it points at a small sign in front of the building. The sign reads " Goldenrod City Gym" and upon seeing it, Mitch just shrugs his shoulders and walks inside with Quilava following close behind. They make their way through the playground and stumble upon something unexpected in the center of it: a battlefield! " Hello!? I'm Mitch Harper and I'm here for a gym battle with Whitney! Is she here right now!? After a few seconds, a happy scream comes from a nearby slide, " Hello! Welcome to the Goldenrod City Gym!" Out of the slide comes, a young pink haired girl with pigtails and she quickly runs over to her side of the battlefield, opposite of where Mitch and Quilava are standing. " Okay, I'm Whitney and I've heard about you from Bugsy. I accept your challenge and here's the deal: I use just use one Pokémon and you are allowed use all six of yours," Whitney gleefully says as Mitch gets a shocked look on his face. " Is that really fair," Mitch asks as Whitney takes a Poke Ball off of her belt and says, " everyone says that, but they usually end up seeing why my gym is like this later. " Alright then, I accept your terms," Mitch reluctantly says as Whitney throws her Poke Ball into the air. 

             " Mil, Mil, Tank, Miltank," a bipedal and pink cow-like Pokémon with two small horns on the top of its head cries as it lands in the battlefield. " Miltank, the Milk Cow Pokémon, a Normal-type, Miltank produces highly nutritious milk, so it's been supporting the lives of people and other Pokémon since ancient times." " Normal-type? Well okay, Heracross, I choose you," Mitch hollers whole throwing a Poke Ball into the air. " Cross, Cross, Heracross, Hera," it shouts as it lands in front of Miltank and flexes its muscles. " Heracross, Use Brick Break, Mitch orders as Heracross twists its glowing white right arm into an odd angle and jumps at Miltank. " Use Defense Curl and then Zen Headbutt," Whitney gleefully commands as Miltank curls into a ball and the Brick Break does no damage when it hits. " Taaaaaaank," she cries as she uncurls and slams her glowing pink head into Heracross. Heracross is briefly knocked back by the Super Effective attack, but, to the surprise of both Whitney and Miltank, quickly recovers as Mitch calls for it to, " Use another Brick Break!" " Heraaaaaaaaaa," it roars as it slams its arm across Miltank's head, knocking her to the ground. " Now use Horn Attack while it's down" Mitch exclaims as the horn on the head of Heracross briefly glows white before it slams the horn into Miltank's chest. 

           " Taaaaaank," Miltank cries as she skids across the battlefield and lands at Whitney's feet. " Have we won already," Mitch asks as Heracross lands in front of him. " NOPE! Miltank, use Milk Drink and then Stomp," Whitney commands as several droplets of milk are shot from each of Miltank's teats. The milk droplets land in Miltank's mouth causing her body to briefly become surrounded in a white aura. " Taaaaaaaaaank," a refreshed looking Miltank shouts as she jumps back up, runs forward, and hits Heracross in the face with her glowing white left hoof.  " Crossssss," Heracross cries out as it lands hard on its back, Miltank landed a Critical Hit with Stomp! " Milk Drink must have been the healing move that Joe was complaining about. Heracross, get up and use Pin Missile," Mitch says as Heracross gets to its feet and fires multiple yellowish green energy needles out of both of its antennas. " Use Rollout," Whitney cries as Miltank curls into a ball and rolls towards Heracross, slamming into the Pin Missile needles, causing a little damage, and destroying them. " Quick, Heracross, grab it and use Seismic Toss," Mitch orders as Heracross catches Miltank in its arms, still taking some damage from Rollout in the process, before jumping into the air, spinning around for a few seconds, and throwing Miltank to the ground. " Taaaaaaaank," she cries as she hits the ground and Heracross lands in front of her. 

             " Use Stomp and then Rollout," Whitney exclaims as Miltank slams its glowing white left hoof into the right leg of Heracross, causing it to fall to the ground and clutch its leg. " Taaaaank," Miltank cries as she curls back into a ball and rolls into Heracross at full speed. " Heraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa," it screams as it is flung backwards. It lands on its side in front of Mitch with spirals in its eyes. " Phanpy, I choose you," Mitch exclaims as he returns Heracross and throws Phanpy's Poke Ball into the air. " Py, Py, Phanpy, Phan," it cries as it lands in a battle stance. " Use Rollout," both trainers holler at the same time as their Pokémon curl into balls and roll towards each other. The two collide in the middle of the battlefeld and in the end, the one with the stronger Rollout prevails. " Phaaaaaaaaaaan," Phanpy cries out as it flung backwards by Miltank's Rollout. " Pyyyyy," it yells as it is slammed into the side of a slide and hits the ground with spirals in its eyes. " I forgot that Rollout continues to increase in power if used consecutively ," Mitch realizes as he recalls his unconscious Ground-type. " Yeah. I end a lot of battles just by continuously using Rollout. I've infuriated so many challengers that way"
