A New Tale Of What The Future Holds

Chapter 21: Coumarine City Gym Battle!

*In Coumarine City*

Nash, Buck, Carmin, and Lucario run through the gates and into the city

Nash: Finally here! Yes!

Lucario: Rio!

Carmin: You look more excited for this Gym Battle then your Gym Battle in Shalour City.

Buck: To be fair the gym was closed here when we were last here.

Nash: Yup, and we're gonna win. Our fifth Gym Badge, then three more to go.

Carmin: And then it's the Kalos Leauge.

Nash: Yeah. Let's go!

Lucario: Lu!

Nash and Lucario start running again

Buck: I'm starting to think there's no hope of him ever walking somewhere.

Carmin: You're probably right.

They chase after him and see him running up the vine around the tree

Buck: I still find it odd that the vine is like a stair case.

Carmin: I think it looks like nice. Now c'mon!

She starts running, leaving Buck behind

Buck: Seriously?!

*At the top*

Nash and Lucario look around the area, a wide smile on their faces

Nash: Cool! This is so cool!

Carmin: There's almost no sunlight from the leaves above.

Buck: It's almost like a cave.

???: Who's there? State your name!

They all look around, Nash and Lucario's smiles don't fade and they crack their knuckles

Nash: My name is Nash and I'm here to challenge to you a Gym Battle. This will be my fifth Gym Badge.

???: I see. My name is Moria, and I am the Gym Leader of Coumarine City.

Nash: So where are you?

Moria drops down from a branch and lands in the center of a field, she has short black hair with silver eyes, wearing a puffy black coat with no sleeves, a blue sweater underneath, black shorts and black boots. Her height shorter then Nash, Carmin, and Buck. They blink as they look at her

Nash, Carmin, Buck: You're the Gym Leader?

Moria: Yup.

Nash, Carmin, Buck: But you look like a little kid.

Moria: I'm seventeen you jerks!

Nash, Carmin, Buck: What?!

Moria: Just because I'm short doesn't mean I'm a child!

Carmin: That short temper tells us other wise.

Moria: What was that Blondie?!

Carmin: Did you say something? I couldn't hear you from up hear!

Moria: Bring it sister!

Carmin: Oh I'll bring it!

Carmin walks up to Moria and they buttheads

Buck: That's enough! This isn't even your battle Carmin.

Nash: Yeah what he said.

The two girls keep growling. Lucario sighs and breaks them up

Buck: Carmin, calm down. Take it easy.

Carmin: I'll take it easy when she shut ups!

Moria: I didn't even say anything to you right now! But whatever! Nash, your friends can wait by the side. The rules are simple, we will each use four Pokémon, and only you can substitute your Pokémon.
