Chapter 113

Paul's Gym Battle,

Tomo's Gym battle and

Fossils

Things happened after the gang left Jubilife City. First Ash had his Swellow train his Starly and Tomo's Natu. In the midst of that Starly evolved into Staravia and Natu evolved into Xatu. Second Brock's Bonsly evolved into Sudowoodo after it learnt the move mimic. The gang ended up learning that some pokemon evolve after learning a special move. For example; a Yanma could evolve into Yanmega after learning ancient power, a Bonsly could evolve into Sudowoodo after learning mimic, a Lickitung could evolve into Lickilicky after learning rollout and an Aipom could evolve into Ambipom after learning double hit. Last of all Brock caught a Nuzleaf that became fast friends with Sudowoodo.

Now the gang had made it to Oreburgh City where Ash and Tomo can earn their first gym badge. Oreburgh City was like a factorial town because it had a big coal mine called Oreburgh Mine, and the big chimneys were to help control the air in the mine and out. "Tomo this is where our quest of collecting gym badges begins" said Ash. "Ash is it alright if I battle the gym leader first?" asked Tomo. He wanted to go first because of his excitement with his first gym battle. Ash agreed to let Tomo battle first. "You ready for this Tomo?" asked Brock. "I'm ready as I ever will be and so are my pokemon" answered Tomo. The gang made it to the gym; the outside of the gym was like a huge stone cave. "This is impressive" said Gym. "Hmm from the look of the design of this gym I would think that this gym probably uses rock pokemon" said Ash. "I think you may be right Ash" agreed Brock.

Suddenly Paul came out from the building. "You defeated the gym leader already?" asked Ash. Paul replied he hadn't because the gym leader wasn't around at the moment. Just then a man with long green hair came out. His name was Ian and he was the gym leader's assistant. "Excuse me Ian, but does the gym leader here use rock type pokemon?" asked Ash. "Yes he does" replied Ian. This made Paul a bit surprised; he didn't have a water pokemon on his team. "I'll wait at the pokemon center until the gym leader gets back" said Paul, and he left. His plan was to capture a water pokemon before challenging the gym leader.

Ash explained to Ian that he and Tomo wished to challenge the Oreburgh Gym. Since Paul asked for a gym battle first the brothers had to wait for their turn, which they didn't mind. Ian gave both Ash and Tomo a lavender-blue coloured gym badge case that had a pokeball design on the lid, each. Ian explained that the gym leader, whose name was Roark, was working at the Oreburgh Mine. "I heard that it's famous for its coal there" said Brock. "Not only does Roark dig for coal, he also digs for treasure" said Ian. The gang were curious about this and decided to visit the Oreburgh Mine to see Roark themselves.

At the Oreburgh Mine it was very busy; lots of miners were digging and there were lots of fighting type pokemon helping out with carrying the heavy stuff. Ash asked some miners if Roark was around. They were just about to answer but then two miners came out of a mine, pushing a big cart that had a giant stone in it. A man, wearing a red helmet, came out of the mine and the miners said that was Roark the foreman of the Oreburgh Mine. Roark was smiling at the stone; this stone was really a fossil of an ancient pokemon. The gang walked up to Roark and Ash introduced himself to him. "My brother Tomo and I wish to challenge you to a gym battle, and there is another challenger who wishes to challenge you" he said. After hearing he had three challengers, Roark decided to go back to his gym at once.

Once Roark and the gang returned to the gym, Paul came back too ready to face Roark. Dawn had never seen a gym battle as well as never been inside a gym, so she asked if she could watch the battle. Roark agreed to let the gang watch, and by surprise Paul didn't mind either. To Ash this meant not only will he learn what Roark's pokemon are, he could also learn of how Paul and his pokemon fight in gym battles.
