As soon as I recognized the uniforms, I backed away from the door. Conner noticed the blazing orange uniform as well, and started slowly stepping back as the dust settled.
The person who had broken into the Gym was wearing a familiar, bright orange outfit with similar colored sunglasses. Standing proudly next to him was a Houndour.
Noticing Conner and I retreating, Chespin asked, "Do you recognize him?"
"Maybe, maybe not," I replied, never taking my eyes off the man.
"Gym Leader!" the man shouted, "I am from the all- powerful Team Flare! I order you to hand your Pokemon to me!"
"Make me!" Viola replied.
"That shouldn't be too terrible hard," the Team Flare member stated, "After all, as of the current situation, both your Pokemon and your opponent's Pokemon are too weak to battle."
Nick stepped in front of the grunt. "There are four people here," he replied, "Not all of us battled Viola. Right, Fennekin?"
Fennekin leapt to Nick's side. "No evil person is ever going to take me!" she yelled, "Not even one with horrible fashion sense!"
At that comment, the Houndour growled, "Did someone mock Team Flare?"
I raced up to stand next to Fennekin. "You bet she did," I shouted, "And you won't get me either! You're just a little puppy!"
The Houndour growled in anger as Conner walked up to stand with me. "Are you going to insult me as well?" he demanded.
"No," Conner answered, "I think that these two did a really good job of it already."
"CRAZY FIRE DOG!" Chespin yelled, coming to stand next to Conner, "YOU CAN NEVER BEAT CHESPIN THE GREAT!"
I rolled my eyes. That Pokemon had too big of an ego.
"Oh, no. You're not battling, Chespin," Morgan stated, picking Chespin up, "You just went through a big battle."
"But I wanna fight!" Chespin wailed, "I wanna give that over sized mutt a piece of my mind!"
"Gladly," the Houndour growled, stepping forward.
"If this is going to be a triple battle," the Team Flare grunt noted, "I'm sending out my other two Pokemon as well." He took two Pokeballs out of his pocket and tossed them into the air, releasing a Gulpin and a Croagunk.
"Fennekin, use Ember on Gulpin!" Nick ordered.
"Conner, use Ember on Croagunk, and Amanda, use Thunder Shock on Houndour!" Genevieve shouted.
"Glupin, counter with Poison Gas!" the Team Flare grant commanded.
Fennekin and Conner aimed small fireballs at Gulpin and Croagunk, and I readied a Thunder Shock. However, before any of us could launch our attacks, Gulpin opened its mouth, releasing a plum of gas that obsured our view and slowly spread towards us.
"Aim into the fog and try to disperse it!" Genevieve called. Conner and I shot our attacks into the smog, clearing small areas in the fog momentarily. Fennekin did the same.
"Croagunk, get in the smog and use Mud- Slap on the Fennekin, Gulpin, use Sludge on the Charmander, and Houndour, use Ember on the Pikachu!" the grunt ordered.
"Dodge!" Nick and Genevieve shouted at the same time.
When two balls of mud flew of of the gas, Fennekin nimbly danced out of the way. A stream of sludge headed for Conner, but he jumped to the side and avioded it. A fireball headed in my direction, and I chose to go against what Genevieve had ordered, countering it with a Thunder Shock, causing an miniature explosion that blew away the Poison Gas.
