[5] The Daughter of Nurse Joy: Battle Frontier

Return To Pewter Gym

On their way to finding the Battle Pyramid, the gang had made it to Pewter City. They had decided to visit Brock's home first before heading over to the Battle Pyramid.

"It will be nice seeing my family again." Brock said.

"I can't wait to see your gym Brock and all of your Pokémon, Brock!" Max beamed.

"Hey Brock, is it alright for us to visit your parents?" Cora asked.

Cora remembered Brock telling them about his parents being unwell.

"Don't you worry Cora," Brock assured her, "I phoned my parents, and they said it's fine, and my mum's health has improved ever since I last saw them."

The others felt relieved to hear that.

When they arrived at the Pewter Gym, they saw the gym had been decorated but in a disgusting sort of way. Instead of being the normal gray and brown colored gym, it was now purple, green, blue, white and orange with a big rose on top. It looked like a dancing club instead of a Pokémon gym.

"WHAT HAPPENED?!" Brock exclaimed angrily.

Cora easily figured out that Brock didn't like this one bit.

====

The gang went into Brock's house, where his brothers and sisters greeted him at once. Brock was also greeted by the Pokémon he had caught on his previous journeys. May and Max were impressed by Brock's big family. Brock asked his little siblings about what happened to the gym at once. The siblings explained that their parents decided to decorate a gym a bit more; just to make it a bit greyer with gray boulders because of the other rock Pokémon Brock had caught.

But when the gym remodelers came, they did it all wrong; they kept on giving it weird coats of paint, which was something their parents didn't want.

"Please put the gym back to normal." Forrest pleaded.

"Don't worry, I will." Brock promised, "Wait, where are mom and dad?"

"In the hospital." Cindy replied.

"The hospital?!" Brock and the others gasped in shock.

====

Apparently, Flint and Lola were in the hospital; Lola had collapsed and needed to stay in the hospital again. Brock phoned his dad at the hospital and told him what he heard from his siblings.

"Your mother and I were horrified with what the remodelers did to the gym especially since they did nothing we wanted," Flint explained, "I want to deal with those remodelers again, but I can't leave your mother's side yet."

"You leave it to me dad," Brock assured him, "You just concentrate on taking care of mum."

"Thank you, Brock." Flint thanked him and finished the phone call.
