Ash's Gym Battle,

The Sinnoh Underground

And the Shiny Chimchar

At last it was Ash's turn to face Roark for the Coal Badge. Yesterday Ash had some training done with Riolu, Piplup and Masquerain. Dawn also showed Ash, Tomo and Brock her special move the spin. She demonstrated with her Piplup and what happens is Piplup jumps and spins and thanks to the spin he gains speed to dodge an attack. Ash liked that and practiced that with Dawn and his pokemon because he found it very helpful. So today Ash was ready. Ash and Roark were in their places on the battlefield. Pikachu and Riolu stayed next to Ash, and Dawn, Tomo and Brock sat in the seats. Dawn was dressed in a pink cheering outfit with some pink pom-poms to cheer for Ash; she was the type of girl who would cheer her friends on. Piplup, Buneary and Burmy were holding pom-poms to cheer too.

Roark sent out his Onix first and Ash sent out his Masquerain. "Masquerain use bubble beam" said Ash. "Use screech Onix" said Roark. As Masquerain blew a lot of bubbles, Onix used screech to break the bubbles apart. "Move with agility and then into steel wing Masquerain" said Ash. Thanks to the speed of agility, Masquerain wasn't put off by screech and then she struck Onix with steel wing. "Nice" said Dawn, who was impressed. Roark was impressed too. Onix tried to slam Masquerain, but Masquerain was too fast for Onix to hit her. "Now Masquerain use hydro pump" said Ash. Masquerain blasted hydro pump and Onix got hit by it, receiving a lot of damage. "That hydro pump was amazing" said Dawn. "Hydro pump is one of the strongest water type moves" said Brock. Piplup was amazed by the hydro pump attack and hoped to learn it one day. Even though Onix was hurt by the hydro pump attack it could still continue to fight. "As you can see Ash I train my pokemon during my free time" said Roark. Ash could see that, seeing how strong Onix was. "Onix double edge". "Steel wing Masquerain" said Ash. Onix and Masquerain collided with each other with their attacks. Masquerain got tackled hard but wasn't beaten yet. As for Onix it got struck hard by Masquerain's steel wing attack and fainted, giving Ash the first win.

"Wow Ash is good at this" said Dawn. "It as we said to you before Dawn," said Brock "Ash has battled gyms 28 times so de does know what to expect with gym leaders and their pokemon". Seeing this made Dawn understand that Ash was good with gym battles. Roark returned Onix and sent out Geodude next. Ash returned Masquerain and sent out Riolu next. "Why did Ash return Masquerain?" asked Dawn. "It's so Masquerain can rest a bit after battling Onix," said Brock "it's not good for pokemon to keep on battling if their tired from battling a strong opponent". Dawn saw that Brock was right and didn't question anymore.

Ash started off by telling Riolu to use aura sphere, but Geodude dodged it and started to use roll out. "Dodge Geodude Riolu" said Ash. Riolu jumped and flipped to avoid Geodude. "Now bullet punch". Riolu's fists glowed blue and he multiply punched Geodude. Brock pointed out that bullet punch was a steel type move and Geodude would get a lot of damage from that. Geodude grabbed Riolu and use seismic toss. "You okay Riolu?" asked Ash. 'I'm fine papa' said Riolu. "Okay then use aura sphere" said Ash. Riolu fired an aura sphere attack and Geodude got hit by it. Geodude couldn't take anymore after that and fainted, giving Ash the second win.

"A second win" said Dawn. "That Riolu of Ash's is something, even if he is still young" said Brock. "Well done Riolu" said Ash. 'Thank you papa' said Riolu. Roark returned his Geodude. "Ash you are quite the challenger, but don't forget about my third pokemon" he said. "I haven't forgotten about your Rampardos Roark" said Ash. Roark sent out his Rampardos. Ash returned Riolu and sent out Masquerain again to battle. "I thought Ash would use his Piplup now" said Dawn. "He'll be using Piplup later," said Brock "you see Dawn Masquerain still has some energy left to battle. And when it comes to battles you sometimes have to use pokemon that still have energy left before using a pokemon that has lots of energy. That way you won't be in that much of a pinch when you're down to the opponent's final pokemon". "Oh" said Dawn; she was learning a lot of things already, despite the gang only being at the first gym.
